The Oreirmilan'fl TTnnrthnoV tells all about Portland, tho entire Columbia River watrsheo and the 1005 World's Fair, commemorative ot the Lewis and Clark expedition to Oregon. The book contains over ICO handsome Illustrations, and It Is printed on enameled book paper. It will be mailed to any address la the 'United States or Canada or 7 cents a copy. Recruitcj Goes on Slowly. The Sev enth United States Infantry, which haa had headquarters at Vancouver since May, 1900, has been theoretically filled up to its full strength, and no more recruits will he esnt to Vancouver lor It, as all recruits enlisted In this region hereafter are to go to fill up the Seventeenth "United States Infantry, which lately returned,' from the Philippines In a very depleted condition. All the men who wished to stay In the Philippines were transferred to companies which were to remain there. The Seventh Regiment has technically been under orders to proceed to tho Phil ippines for some lime, but when the com panies of the regiment can be all got to gether Is what no one can tell, as they are practically scattered from the tropics to the north pole. Only two companies and the headquarters are at "Vancouver. The .rest of the companies are In Alaska. So one battalion of the Seventh is in the Philippines, V& battalions are in Alaska, and Jialf a battalion at Vancouver. Some time the regiment will be assembled at San Francisco and the vacancies in it will be filled with the recruits sent from Portland and Seattle last Fall. The work of recruiting up the Seventeenth Regi ment, now divided between Vancouver Barracks, Fort "Wright and Boise Bar racks, Idaho, is not likely to proceed at a very lively rate for some time. At this season: few men are out of employment, and the only recruits being enlisted are discharged soldiers. When the rainy sea son begins next Fall, recruiting will be gin, and will be brisk In November and from 'that on. Addition to SnxNTSiDr School, The plans and specifications for the six-room addition to the Sunnyslde School build ing were submitted for the examination of contractors at the office of School Clerk JAllen yesterday afternoon. Bids for the work will probably be presented some time this week. The reason for letting this work nrst is that it can -be commenced at once and the excavation and founda tion completed before the end of the school year. The plans for an eight-room addition to the "Woodlawn School and a six-room addition to the Sellwood School will be ready for submission to contrac tors In a few days. Probably both these buildings will have to be moved a short distance. Architect Jones Is of opinion that the Woodlawn School can be moved before the school closes, so that the ex cavation and foundations can be complet ed early, in time to get an early start On the building. Hard to Find Viewers. The selection of persons to act as viewers in the mat ter of opening and laying out streets, or extensions of streets. Is- not so easy a matter as might be supposed. A man to be quaJlfied to act as such viewer must swear that he has no property on the street to be laid out or extended, and also that he has no relations who have any property on said street. He must also be a freeholder of the City of Portland and willing to serve. Many who are qual. ified do not care to serve, for, no matter how competent they may be or how hard they try to do what Is right, there Is sure to be lots of complaining on tbo part of the property-owners on the street. The remuneration is not sufficient to Induce men to stand much unreason able and unjust abuse. Reddt's Summer Trip. "William Reddy, red-haired and muscular, was before Mu nicipal Judge Cameron yesterday, charged with begging at Second and Couch streets. "I didn't beg," observed Reddy. "I met, a fellow that I had a quarrel with, and I was just about to give it to him when the policeman arrested me. Let me go, Judge, and I'll go to Alaska for the Summer." "You are certainly going far enough to escape the hot weather. Many people in tho East would like to go to Alaska for the Summer, and can't," remarked the Judge. "I've no money, but I can work my way there," explained Reddy. He, was allowed to go on the understanding that if he returned Ijere he would be com pelled to serve 30 days In jail. To Build New Houses. 5. "W. Bates has the ground cleared off, and will at once commence the construction of four houses on his property at the nqrtbwest corner of Twenty-first and Davis streets, 100x105 feet The houses will be of two stories each, and will cost something over $3000 apiece. He is also preparing to build a house to cost $4000 on Irving street, be tween Twenty-second and Twenty-third. As he had to dispose of his Album water plant to the city, he finds himself with a lot of money on hand, and so has decided to Invest a portion of It In building houjes. He has no trouble In leasing or selling all the houses he can build now-a-days. Citt Council Tomorrow. There ap pears but little prospect of any business of more than ordinary Importance com ing up at the meeting of the Common Council tomorrow. The plumbing ordi nance is still lying around in some com mittee, or on "the table," and has ap parently been forgotten. The judiciary committee has in its hands the proposition for tearing down the old Pavilion, and replacing it with a modern market building; but whether they will report on it or not Is unknown. It has been predicted by friends of the new project that the old building would some day burn up a lot of property around It. Trolley Car Breakb an Axle. One of the axles of a Mount Tabor car broke on Front street yesterday forenoon. The fracture showed that it had been broken half across for some time, the face of the broken part having been worn quite smooth. The wrecking car was soon on hand, the wrecked car was elevated, the truck taken out and a new axle inserted without any particular trouble to any body, except probably people who may have missed a trip of the broken car, and in short order everything was going on as usual on the Mount Tabor line.

"John Bwanson. you're charged with being drunk," remarked Municipal Judge Cam eron, yesterday. "I'm not guilty, sir," replied that individual. At this juncture Mrs. Olcese, proprietor of a saloon on First "street, stepped forward and said, pointing to Swahson: "Your Honor, that man threw something through one of the windows of .my saloon- I didn't see It myself, but I was told" "I wlshto call the attention of the court to the fact that this witness is trying to testify to a thing she never saw," interrupted Swanson. "The court will continue Uiis case until we And witnesses- who saw the window smashing business," broke In the Judge. Swanson began to look uneasy, and he finally said: "I guess Til plead guilty to being drunk, then." "You're fined $5. Next," said the Judge promptly. Box Fined J5. Claude Jones, a mes senger boy, was before Municipal Judge Cameron yesterday, charged with dump ing garbage under abridge bn East Four teenth street, and the evidence was that a printed notice was on the bridge stat ing that dumping garbage there was pro hibited. "I didn't see any notice on the bridge at the time." protested the boy. "I saw other-garbage there and didn't think I was doing any harm. My em ployer told me to take the garbage out side of the city limits." "And you did not do it," remarked the Judge. 4Tou ought to have taken the garbage to the crematory. You are fined $5."

The Mount Baker Mining Company, which has been endeavoring to haul machinery up to its mine over the snow, has been obliged to abandon the job for the present, There Is too much snow on the ground anywhere from 10 to 20 feet In that re gionand so the machinery Is resting about 14 mils from the mine, waiting till the June sun settles the snow and packs It No Sale Yet.

St' Snu?3inBT" SSS- j Mass " ' DR. TEI WILL QO. FREE XO'COXCIiUSJVE -EVIDENCE THAT HE KILLED CHINESE "WOMAN. Possibly' the Deed of a Highbinder, Employed by Some Person. "Whose Motives Are Not" Clear. tn'dlcatrons now are that Chinese desperado-highbinders murdered Mrs. Lan Heung In the miserable shanty she occu pied on Taylor street, near Third, on the night-of April 1, and that they did the, 3ob for money paid by an enemy who wished the woman removed. It is true that the" police arrested one of the best known members of the powerful and rich Lee. clan, Dr. Lee Pol Tel, on suspicion of being implicated in the woman's death, but those who have carefully studied the case say that no evidence haa so far'oeen discovered that Tel Wiled the woman, and that ho is almost certain to be dis charged when he appears before the grand jury. "When questioned about the case yesterday. Chief of Police Mc Lauchlatr stated that nothing new aad be"en discovered. Several Chinamen in the Portland col ony, who have been approached by the police and reporters for Information as to the unfortunate woman's murderer, have Invariably replied: "Me find out and tell you tomolfow." Others who knew Lan Heung well, now profess not to have made her acquaintance. Still others take xefugo behind Jthe usual Chinese answer, "No sabe," and manifest terror at possi ble punishment in store for them when asked to reveal what they know about the mysterious Chinese who was seen to run from the Taylor street "house, about two or three minutes before the fire was discovered. A well-known Chinaman who personally knows Tel was asked yesterday the name of the Chinese family to which Tel belongs, and the answer came: "I don't know." Everybody around China town, manifests a strange reluctance to talk about the murder. It will be Temembered that on the night of April L about 10:30 o'clock, Mrs. Lan Heung, whose husband is absent In China, was found dead in the house on Taylor street, which had been set on fire to Tilde the evidence- of the murder. The woman's throat was. cut, nearly from car to ear, arid. In searching in the de bris afterward, the detectives found the knife with which the deed had been com mitted. After he had been arrested. Dr. Tei said that he had gone to visit tho woman shortly after 10 o'clock that night to give her. medicine, and that, as he entered the house, he saw a strange Chi naman in the act of escaping from the place. Tel Insists that he then went to the woman's room, and saw that she was dead, and that the house was on fire. The odor of coaloll was apparent, he states. Now, Mrs. Lan Heung was a woman who had a lage number of men friends, among whom were seeral wealthy Chi nese. Dr. Lee Pol Tel seemed to be the favored, however. That made the otner rivals jealous, especially as they knew from the nature of their acquaintance that Mns. Heurg was the possessor of a great many of their business secrets. Trouble catne between the woman and her admirers when she announced that she was tired of them all, and was about to rejoin her husband in China, xne Chinese implored, threatened and be sought by turns, but the woman was obstinate, and on the night before the murder an. angry dispute was heard in J.he house, In which her voice was fre quently heard. Bobbery was not the mo- tlye for killing the woman, as It is be lieved that ireariy all the money she was "knoWn to possess was afterward found in the "half-burned shanty. The police are still of the opinion that Mrs. Heung was killed by one of her lovers or his agent, as he wished to eee her dead rather than join her husband and oosfllbly betray Important business secrets on her arrival In China. She is described as a woman who knew too much for her own good. At the Inquest before the Coroner's Jury, about the only thing the Jury did was to decide that the woman was murdered, and Dr. Tel heard the evi dence against him with stoical calmness. But when he saw the body of the woman his composure gave way, and he wept In an agony of tears. It was with difficulty that Detective ""Welner could persuade him to come away from the death" chamber. It was then reasoned: If Tel had killed the woman, would he not have acted different ly when ha saw her body? Those who know Chinese Intimately state that a wealthy, merchant, as some of the woman's admirers are, wouldncver have placed his precious neck In peril by killing Mrs. Heung himself, when he could hire a desperado-highbinder to do the deed. The consensus of opinion seems to J be that there are desperadoes of that de scription in Portland who will commit any crime for hire, and that others of their race will shield them to the best of their ability. "The patron who withes a victim removed rarely knows the name of the murderer," said a well-known au thority yesterday. "The customer so to speak deals with one of the big China men, who arranges the deal for him. Pos sibly three Chinese are ordered to draw lots, and the one upon whom the choice falls knows he must do his foul work, under oaln ot death. The others In the 4clan work their hardest either to help the murderer to escape or mue mm unut uio hue and cry ceases. There are highbind ers In every city where there are large numbers of Chinamen." There are about 2000 Chinamen In this city at present, and about 5000 when tho cannery- season is over. Portland has about 30 different Chinese families, who are bound to each other by the closest of ties, when one member of a Chinese family Js arrested, the news spreads like wildfire through the colony, and his "cou sins" atmost fight for the high privilege of furnishing the necessary bail for his appearance at court. "White men don't do that. This stateni6nt was made to an Ore gonlan reporter last night by a city offi cial: "The Chinamen In this city say they are good, peaceable citizens. Why are they keeping back Information which would lead to the arrest of themurderer of Lan Heung? "Why don't they deliver up the murderer to Justice?" Barges Are Launched. Both Government barges which have bee?i In Supple's boatyard for several months have Deen launched. There re mains some deck work to be done, and they are moored In front of the yard. A WHOLE FORTUNE. Good Food, and Good -Health. This food tale from a trained nurse? Is worth reading. "I want to tell you of the curative properties of the good food Grape-Nuts, and will say they are a whole furiune to any one suffering asI did for years with a stomach so rebellious as to be almost useless to me. "For years and ye"ars I was tortured with flatulency, heart burn, bloating, ten derness of. the stomach, and many a time X cried bitterly because of my great dis tress. "One never to be forgotten day Sister came up from Columbus to visit me. She brought a package of Grape-Nuts to pee If the food would agree -with me. I found the new food very delicious with cream, and It -caused me no pain qr disturbance whatever. "To make a long story short I have been using Grape-Tfuts ever since. Have gained. 20 pounds In five months and my health is perfect. It Is a pleasure to be plump and healthy and feel well again. I am 'a professional nurse and naturally ap. predate this, change in my health." Lucy N- Richardson, Box 164, Logan, O. These barges will be used on the Jetty work In the transportation of stone. Mr. Supple had a contract for building four, the price being "$19,500, His boatyard Is now nearly cleared for the first time In a year. .. . "NATHAN HALE." Fitch's Dram Weil Given by How ard Kyle itt'-the Marqaam. "Nathan Hale," Clyde Fitch's success ful historical drama, was competently presented at the Marquam last night "by Howard Kyle and a good company. Like "Barbara Frietchle," the play begins with a comedy, which xontlnues for two acts with no hint of, gathering clouds other than that given by the spectator's ac quaintance with the history of his coun try. Then it develops into a soul-stirring melodrama, and the last two scenes are as dark and gloomy tragedy as were ever put together. Mr. Kyle is equally strong In all his work, ills share m the comedy scenes is taken with a zest and- appreciation that shows him to be a comedian of no ordinary attainments, and he rises easily to the greater requirements of the clos ing scenes. He was at his best last night from the time of h!a volunteering on the hazardous mission which ends in his death to the end of the play, and In the third act, where Hale's presence of mind and courage almost lead to hlfi- escape, he -non his way into the hearts of his audience without the slightest effort. Nu merous curtain calls testified that the spirit of patriotism Is plentiful la the breasts of modern theater-goers, and ap plause was frequent during the action of the piece. Florence Smyth, -as AlJco Adams, does the comedy scenes daintily, but is a trifle too harsh In her handling of the stronger lines. Her work throughout, however, was such as to merit the applause which was given her. George A. D. Johnson, an actor of experience and ability, made a good .Colonel Knowlton. .Harry Booker did a clever piece of character work as Jasper, Nancy Rice made a pretty Angel ica Knowlton, and the remainder of the company was up to standard. The play Is well mounted, and costumed with due regard to the time of action. It will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night. King; Edward "Witnesses "Ben Hur," LONDON, April 14, King Edward wit nessed the production of "Ben Hur" at the Drury Lane Theater tonight from the vantage ground of the pit His Maj esty had ordered his box in the regular way, but the managers ot the theater de cided ho would not enjoy the best view of the chariot race from d regular box. Consequently this afternoon a big force of workmen hurriedly constructed a luxuri ous royal box In the center of the pit. The King apparently greatly enjoyed the play. He remained throughout the whole per formance. COMIJS'G ATTRACTIONS, Daniel Frawley.
