JSant Slorrison Street Is Reins Filled Between East First and Union Ave. The filling up of East Morrison street is proceeding rapidly. Dirt from the base ment of new buildings to be build on the West Side Is being hauled and dumped through holes cut through the roadway. Already many thousand cubic yards of dirt have been dumped through the road way. A solid embankment of dirt is being ibullt under East Morrison street, be tween East First street and Union ave nue without any provisions being made for draining the water. Certainly it would seem that it is highly important that this should be attended "to before It Is too late. At least a 20-inch terra cotta pipe should fce laid at the lowest point, so the water which collects on the low ground south of East Morrison street might drain off. Un less provision is made for an outlet for this water it will stand constantly and fcome stagnant. The time is not far off when all the low ground east of Union avenue will be filled up, and some pro vision for drainage will have to be made. BOILER AND BLACKS3IITH SHOP. Plans Received of Building: to Be Erected on Carshop Grounds. The plans for the new boiler and blacksmith shop to be erected on the East Side carshop grounds for the South ern Pacific Railway Company have been received, and are being put in shape for letting the contract for erection of the building. In most respects the new building will resemble the machine shop, which was built some time ago. The dif ference will be in the roof, which will be of asphalt. Some minor modifications are to be made in the plans to meet the condi tions of the site, when the contract for the brick work will be let. For the iron work the contract has already been let. The machinery will be modern and up to date. There will be steel hammers and other modern appliances. The cost of the new building is not known, but it will probably be about $25,000, but the machinery will cost as much more. It is understood that the dimensions will be 4255150 feet. POWELL'S VALLEY PROSPEROUS. JfeTrconicrs Bny Land and Make Their Homes Near Pleasant Home. Rev. D. E. Rockwell, who spent sev- eral days at Pleasant Home and Gresham last week reports that portion of the county improving rapidly. At Pleasant Home he was told by W. E. Markell that a large number of newcomers had been coming Into that district and buying farm land. They are men of means, and usually pay cash for farms. Land Is be ing cleared and a larger acreage put under cultivation than ever before. At Gresham Dr. Rockwell found the same prosperous condition, with Metho dist church affairs in good shape. Steps will be taken to erect a manse. Recently the Gresham church sold a lot for $500, on which a building is being erected for business purposes. Dr. Rockwell said he never saw a more prosperous district. NEW HALL AT PORTSMOUTH. United Artisan Assembly to Put Up a Handsome Building:. Peninsula Assembly, No. 3, United Artisans, of Portsmouth, has had plans prepared by Architect Browne for a ha.nd eome two-story building to be erected near the Portsmouth Station on the St.- Johns railway. The size of the structure will be 40x80 feet. On the first floor there will be three storerooms, and on the second a hall 40x47 feet, with an ample stage at one end and ante-rooms. The eleva tions show that it will be an attractive building. It is estimated that It will cost about $3500. Bids have been received and the contract will likely be let very soon. A Joint stock company was organized put of the members of the assembly. RITES OF CONFIRMATION. Bishop Morris Officiated and Rev. A. K. Glover Delivered the Sermon. The solemn rites of confirmation were administered last night in Good Shep herd Episcopal Church, Vancouver ave nue; Upper Alblna, to the following class: Miss Alice Andrews, Miss- Mary Otte, Miss Emma Louisa Kendle, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Gus Zander. Bishop Mor- ris officiated and confirmed this class ac- T cording to the custom of the Episcopal Church. Rev. A. K. Glover, recently ap pointed diocesan missionary, delivered the sermon for the occasion. Rev. H. D. Cambers, rector, and a number of visit ing clergy were present and took part in the ceremonies. There was a large at tendance. Next Sunday the communi cants will receive their first sacrament. IMPROVEMENTS FOR WOODSTOCK. Steps Taken to Repair the Station, Make n Park and Improve Streets. At a meeting of representative citizens held last night in the hall In "Woodstock .rteps were taken to Improve streets, to repair the station and move It back from its present location on "Woodstock avenue, and make a park adjacent to the water plant. The meeting was under the aus pices of the Improvement Association. J. R. Gilstrap presided. Benjamin I. Cohen, representing the Portland Trust Company, owner of the water plant and much of the vacant land in Woodstock, was pres ent. First the proposition to move the sta tion and make a park surrounding it was taken up. Mr. Cohen said that the com pany would fence the 100-foot lot adjoining the water plant. He suggested that the station be moved to Rochester street.ji.nd the fence be extended so as to include" the station. The fence, he said, would be built of pickets. Mr. Cohen then said the ground inside' the inclosure could be-'im-proved with shrubbery and flowers. The station itself could be repaired and made attractive and respectable, which would be in marked contrast to its present dis reputable condition. The company would paint the water tower red, and also the fence and station the same color. In time the station and park ground would be a credit to "Woodstock and an object-lesson in civic improvement for the entire com munity. Mr. Gilstrap said that the City & Subur ban Company would aid in the work of repairing the station, provided that it could be assured that it would be kept In good condition. The station had been repaired before, but had soon been dam aged and put in worse condition than be fore. It would be necessary to have some one made a Deputy Sheriff, so there would be authority to make arrests. It was finally decided to appoint a com mittee to take up the matter of moving the station and making a park and pre pare plans of procedure. Benjamin 1. Cohen, H. J. Hefty and Roy Clark were appointed as this committee. The meeting then took up the matter of Improving streets. Mr. Cohen offered to subscribe 51 for every $1 that the- meeting subscribed. A subscription paper was prepared and $25 was subscribed, and Mr. Cohen put down 525 more, which made, $50 to start with. Much more is expected. Some of the principal streets will be cleared of brush. It Is expected also that the public hall in Woodstock will be re paired. There was much' interest and good results are expected. Citizens ot Woodstock will be asked to contribute toward these objects. Funeral of Ernest Cone. The funeral of Ernest Cone, 16 years old, was conducted from the family residence at Portsmouth, yesterday. Rev. T. M Mc Pherson officiating.

The work of laying the new pavement of wood blocks, treated with carbollneum avenarlus, on Fourth street, was com menced at the north side of Morrison street yesterday morning, and as might be expected attracted a large crowd of interested spectators. Several wagonloads of the prepared blocks had been deposited conveniently near the scene of operations Tuesday, which the mlllmen Imagined would be enough to keep the boss block juggler, Howard Whiting, busy all day. The east side of the block between Morri son and Alder streets had been cleaned up, ready for commencing operations, and after a bed of sand had been evenly spread on the concrete foundation, and no less than half a dozen men and boys had been provided to carry the blocks to where they were to be laid, Mr. Whiting got down to work, and he hustled the blocks Into place as fast as they were put within his reach. Before 10 o'clock about half the east side of the block was paved, and the supply of blocks exhausted. Sev eral hundred citizens watched every move ment made, and examined the treated blocks critically, and at least 90 per cent of the crowd had Ideas In regard to how the blocks should be laid. A number of the blocks were split In two to -see how far the preservative had penetrated, and It was found that it was in nearly every case visible by the color ing clear through the block. The con sensus of opinion among the "experts" was that the preservative would preserve, and that the manner In which It had penetrated the wood was due to the pres sure of 20 pounds applied to Torce It Into the pores. Later, more blocks arrived and were laid and It was given out that more teams would be employed hauling blocks today, and John O'Nell, who has the contract for clearing away the old pavement, was admonished to supply himself with more teams, or he would not be able to keep ahead of the block-laying. A cauldron of some black compound of pitch and as phalt, which had been bubbling away near the work, was finally ladled out Into huge watering pots with peculiar nozzles, and the surface of the new pavement laid was deluged with the red-hot stuff, and it was pushed about till every crevice be tween the blocks was filled. The finish ing touch will consist of sprinkling the surface of the pavement with sand, and then It will be about ready for use. The right-of-way of the Southern Pacific Com pany on Fourth street will be Improved later, when the seven-Inch grooved rails arrive. In the meantime a plank will be fastened over the crevice between the right-of-way and the new Improvement to protect the new pavement.

Collection of Machinery, Parts of ' Engines" and Dynamite Said to Have Been Made by Wood Bros. A river pirates' den, containing parts of engines, machinery, dynamite, 200 rounds of. ammunition and other articles, lying in the Willamette River, near St. Johns, Is found to have been the home of Elmer and C. C. Wood, who appeared yesterday before Municipal Judge Cameron, charged with larceny. Elmer Wood waived exam ination, and said: "I guess I won't require a lawyer. If I waive examination. Eh? "Witnesses will appear against you," hinted the Judge. "Well, I've got no money to pay a law yer. Won't the state appoint one for me?" "The court will appoint a lawyer who will take care of your Interests," replied the Judge. C. C. Wood pleaded not guilty, and the case was continued to admit 'of witnesses being summoned. It Is charged that the alleged stolen property found In the Wooa brothers' scow near St. Johns, was taken j irom the Linnton reduction works, .ana from tne woodyard of Hansen Bros., on the East Side. Several months ago com plaints were lodged with the police that parts of machinery stored at the Linnton works were being stolen piece hy piece by river pirates, who took away the property in a boat, but the police then decided that they had no Jurisdiction, as the stealing occurred out of the city limits. When It was reported, however, that portions of the machinery connected with a steam saw operated by Hansen Bros, were being carried away bit by bit. the .detectives thought they recognized the fine hand of some one used to setting up and running machinery. They heard of the. Noah's ark machinery plant stored In the Wood brothers' scow at St. Johns, ar.d, on boarding the scow Tuesday, they found the brothers at home, and several pieces of machinery near them that had been missed from several business places. The brothers announced that the property the detectives saw had been obtained by them in the ordinary course of business, but were rather hazy as to dates and places of purchase. Testerday Detectives Kerrigan and Snow went over the Noah's ark and found that it contained a miscellaneous collection of property, including a steam engine. The search was conducted with some danger, however, as explosives in the shape of dynamite, caps -and loaded cartridges lay about the scow. In picturesque confusion. The scow was locked up, and In the hope that something could be obtained otit of the prisoners, Kerrigan and Snow hurried back to the police station, and took Elmer Wood before Chief McLauchlan. Part ot the plunder, in sacks, lay on the floor. "Where did you get'thls ratchet brace?" ascked Kerrigan. "Bought it from a Junkman for 33 cents," replied Elmer Wood, calmly. "When and where?" "I forget the place. Oh, yes. It was Irt a scrap heap along the end of Second streets." ,-..-.nd this oil can?" "I bought that on Jefferson 'street, near Front. I sort of forget the man's name." "Where did you get the dynamite and cartridges?" "Let me see. I bought them from a fel low who was going about." Chief McLauchlan sniffed and said: "You mean to tell me that you bought dynamite from a man who was going about selling It on the streets?" Elmer Wood began to look confused, and mur mured something about his brother being to blame. That concluded the examina tion, and the detectives are to continue working on the case today. They esti mate that the plunder on board the scow is easily worth $500. BETTS GETS SIX YEARS. Burglar Who Was Captured by L, H. Adams Pleads Guilty. Henry Betts, who was shot by L. H. Ad ams while he was attempting to break into the dwelling-house of the latter, on the morning of April 18, was sentenced to six years In the penitentiary by Judge Sears yesterday. Betts pleaded guilty, and when asked what Induced him to attempt to break Into the house, said he had been to Sell wood to see a friend who failed to keep his engagement. It was too late to catch a car and he proceeded to walk back to Portland. On reaching the Adams resi dence he decided to force an entrance and steal money or valuables. "I hope your honor will take Into con sideration the fact that this is my first offense," remarked Betts. "I don't know If that Is true or not," answered Judge Sears.

He Is accused of stealing $C0 In the restaurant of B. L. Elklns at 185 Morrison street, last Monday. He put the money In his mouth, but he was caught In the act by Elklns and held until a police officer arrived. Kueter is a young man, and once bore a most excellent reputation, but he be came addicted to the use of morphine, a'nd this cause'd his downfall. He came here a number of years ago from Oakland, Cal. Judge Sears appointed J. A. Strowbrldge, Jr., as attorney for the defendant. Several of Kuster's friends have inter ested themselves in his behalf, and will endeavor to get him off with a light sen tence. Appeal From Justice Court. In the suit of A. J. Farmer against G. B, Stone to recover $46 for goods sold. In which judgment was rendered against the defendant by Justice Kracmer, a pe tition" for a writ of review was filed In the State Circuit Court 'yesterday by C. M.

Remarkable Shovrinfir Slnde in Re port of Health Officer Menefee. The statistical portion of the annual re port of City Health Officer Menefee makes a good showing for the healthfulness ot Oregon's cilmatc. The death rate per 1C00 Inhabitants Is 11:43. From a xfiry Incom plete supply of health reports from other cities In the United States Is may be seen that Portland's showing Is good by com parison. Leaving such large cities as New Tork, Chicago and San Francisco out of .the question, and taking figures regarding health In cities which may be classed with Portland, the following com parative statistics are gleaned, showing. the death rate per 1000 Inhabitants In cities In about the same latitude as Portland: Portland, Or 11.43 Burlington. .la 16.60 Auburn, N. Y -. .14.80 Louisville. Ky... 16.20 Dayton. 0 13.63 Grand Rapids, Mich .... 12.53 The plnces named are representative large "cities in ' their respective states. They were selected"" for the comparison, not because they "make a favorable show ing for Portland, but becauso the reports from these cities were the only ones avail able. It should be stated also that among the 1143 deaths in Portland. 175 were of non residents who were in Portland for treat ment. If these were excluded, the total number of deaths for the year 1901 would be 1068, making the number of deaths per 1000 Inhabitants, based on a total present population of 100,000, only 10.6S, or slight ly more than 1 per cent. The total number of births during the year was 1156, of whom 610 were males and 546 females. Eleven of the children born were Chinese, and all the rest were white. Of the 1143 who died, 691 were males and 462 females. The death returns show the demise of 9 Mongolians, 3 negroes and 1051 whites. Classed by ages, 297 died under 20 years of age, 251 between 20 and 40 years, 302 between 40 and 60, and 290 over 60 years of age. The number of contagious and Infec tious diseases were as follows: Measles, '634; scarlet jfcever, 220; diphtheria, 174; ty phoid fever,"6b; smallpox, 62"; chicken-pox, 22. Another classification o'f diseases reported shows ttKe following: Circu latory; 125; communicable, 120; unclassified, 188; digestive, 165; lungs. 274; nervous, 107; genlto-urlnary, 74; constitutional. 100. The financial statement shows that the cost of maintaining the Health Depart ment of the city for the year 1901 was as follows: Salary of City Physician $ 1,500 Salary of Health Commlsioner 1.0S0 Deputy Health Officer 840 Plumbing Inspector 1,200 Deputy Plumbing) Inspector 900 Nurse hire for pesthouse 1,321 Building ambulance wagon 180 Hospital service contagious diseases. 842 Medicine, indigent sick at city jail.. 201 Other expenses.

'Board of Trade Investigates Starting; Steamer Service. The Board of Trade has asked the mer chants of the city for Information as to the amount of goods shipped by them to Alaska last year. This Information will be used to make up a summary of the business done in Alaska last year by Port land merchants. By this summary. It will be determined whether a steamship line from here to the North would pay. The Board has also asked the leading Arms of Portland whether they are rep resented In Alaska and, if not. whether If good men were secured to solicit business, they would be paid salary or commission.
