Work on Buiwside-Street lasts. If
any of the hundreds of people who spend
some time every day In watching the
progress of work on the various building
and street improvements going on in the
business part of the city And looking at
the same kind of work dally becoming
monotonous, they will find it a delightful
chanre to go down to Burnslde street
and watch work on the first two blocks of
street railway ever built in this city on
the latest and most approved modern
style. The tracR extends from Third to
Fifth, and is being built by the Portland
Railway Company, of 7-lnch grooved
rails, set in concrete and paved between
the rails and for a foot on each side
with stone blocks, set in concrete and
grouted with cement It is the same style
of road which is to be laid on Third
street this Summer by the City & Sub
urban Railway Company, and anything
more solid and durable In the form of a
railway It Is difficult to conceive of. All
rock, iron and cement, it seems the very
perfection of rallrpad building. The exca
vation for the tracks is made consider
ably deeper than the rails, probably twice
as deep. The rails are then laid on ties
a long distance apart, merely to support
them while they are being fastened to
gether at the- ends with heavy flshbars,
and by stout iron bars every five feet
to hold them firmly at the proper dis
tance apart The rails thus fastened and
stayed are next raised to the proper
height and supported there, and then con
crete is filled in under them and between
them to the proper height Then the
stone blocks are laid on this concrete,
making a surface level with the rail and
the street, The rows of blocks are laid
outside the rails and the pavement fitted
up to them (in this case the pavement Is
brick, which enables a good fit to be
ma.de), and last of all a grouting of ce
ment of the consistency of thin mush, is
poured on to fill all the crevices between
the blocks, which unites to them and the
concrete below, and when it hardens the
whole roadway is practically solid stone
and Iron. The process thus described will
be found very interesting to watcb as It
is being carried out
Tontine Checks Issued. Five thou
sand and sixty dollars -disbursed by the
Pacific Mercantile Company. The incor
porators of this company, who were the
representatives of the defunct Tontine
Savings Association, of Minneapolis, are
more than gratified at the results. The
patrons of that defunct association in
Oregon, Washington and British Colum
bia are being protected, and General Man
ager Olsen reports that the success of
the Pacific Mercantile Company is an as
sured fact and states the volume of
business for the flrgt three weeks has
exceeded their anticipation. New appli
cations are being received, and the gen
eral agents report that all the patrons
are giving their co-operation to tlje new
company. If interested call at the home

Bors Practice Economt. The Janitors
and elevator boys In a down-town office
building have adopted a sort of co-operative
scheme to aid them in practicing
the rigid but commendable economy
through which toilers are? enabled to ac
cumulate money enough to aid them
In making a start In life. Their hours
are long, and they often feel the need of
a lunch in the afternoon. Instead of
spending 15 cents for a cup of coffee and
a sinker, they have clubbed together and
bought a little coal oil stove, a coffea pot
coffee and sugar, and dally chip In a
nickel jr so apiece, and take turn mak
ing coffee and buying bread and butter,
coffee cake, or whatever they think best
for lunch. They find that they can thus
provide themselves with a satisfactory
lunch for 2 to 3 cents per day, and some
of these days they may all be million

Land Plaster Turns to Stone-. A
farmer who lives, near Corbett's Landing
on the Columbia a few days ago ordered
a lot of land plaster from a merchant In
this city, which was duly shipped to him
by one- of the boats running up the river.
The plaster was put ashore all right, but
with a view to economizing labor was
piled close to the water's edge. This
was considered perfectly safe, as the
river Is not rising rapidly, and it was
quite certain that it would be taken away
beforo the Juno rise of the Columbia
would occur. In fact the owner of the
plaster arrived In search of- It about 10
minutes after It was landed, but he did
not take it away, and It is likely to re
main there permanently, and as & boul
der of gypsum, to form one bf the 'many
curious geological formations which or
nament the shores of the great river of
the West It appears that the boat
which landed the plaster was racing with
another boat and was ahead. The delay
caused by landing the plaster enabled
the other boat to draw ahead, and when
he leading boat backed off the beach,
the other was nearly abreast Both, of
course, plunged Into the race with re
newed vigor, and cordwood sticks and
occasional firemen began to fly out of
their smokestacks. Their wheels spurned
the water and when they were so close
together rolled a huge wave up the beach,
which plowed over the top of the pile of
plaster, which immediately began to
harden and assume the consistency of
the gypsum from which it had been made,
and when the owner arrived a few min
utes later he found a pile of rocks, for
which he had no use, and so left It there.
It is likely to require a lengthy lawsuit to
discover who Is to settle the bill for the
plaster, merchant, farmer and. steamboat
men alike diclalmlng any responsibility
for the geological chango in the stuff.
More Nuisances to Be Abated. The
improvement made inthe appearanco of
the streets of this city' by the removal of
bicycle racks and other contraptions
which had become so numerous as to bo
a great nuisance has given much sat
isfaction to the public The Civic Im
provement Association has received many
words of commendation for Its good work
In this matter. This has given encourage
ment to go ahead and endeavor to se
cure the abatement of the low-awning
and open trap-door nuisances. There i3
a rather general tendency to object to
closing the trap-doors In the sidewalks,
which some consider as unreasonable as
It is unpatriotic. Some astonishing com
plications are likely to arise out of this
matter in the near future. It has been
discovered, In several cities, that a property-owner
has no ownership on the
street The streets- are owned by the
city, and no one has any more right to
construct rooms under the sidewalks than
he has to build cellars under the streets.
His rights and privileges connected with
the streets are to construct sidewalks
and pavements over surti portions of the
streets as the city authorities may -direct
him to do, and to keep to the right In
traveling them. In several cities steps
are being taken to compel property-owners
who encroach on the city's property
by building rooms under the sidewalks
and constructing trap-doors in such side
walks to afford convenient access to such
rooms, to pay rent on the property thus
unlawfully appropriated. Under such cir
cumstances, It may be well for trap
doors In sidewalks to be kept closed as
much as possible, so as to attract as lit
tle attention as possible to the rooms be,

"How's your partner getting along with
his broken arm and cracked head?" In
quired a newspaper man of a friend he
accidentally met yesterday. It may be
stated that the partner of this man had
sustained a bad fall a week or two ago.
The rply was: "Oh, I don't think he
will ever be any better until he has ef
fected a settlement with the accident in
surance company he was insured in."
"Oh, I see; if he gets a large sum as
damages It will hasten his cure?" "Oh,
no; he will not get anything." 'Why,
how is that? Isn't the company good?"
"The company is all right and willing to
pay a round sum if he will settle, but I
have a 'stand In' with the doctor." "What
do' you mean by that?" "Just this: I am
to find out how much the company pays
my partner, and Inform the doctor. He
will make his bill large enough to cover
the whole amount, and then he and I
will divvy." "Rather rough on your
partner. Isn't It?" "Well, some might
consider it so, but in view of the business
we are In, he will think It Is all right
This life is a strenuous one at best you
know."
Work on Lawrence Buildino. So
many new building enterprises have been
started up In places near the center of
trade and travel within the past two
week? that they have monopolized the
attention of the thousand and one cap
italists who obstruct the streets and side
walks where improvements are going on
to furnish free advice to builders, con
tractors and property-owners. Conse
quently, the first Improvement started
in the business part of town, the Law
rence building, at First and Oak, has been
overlooked for a time. Those who will
go around there now will find the ex
cavatlon completed and a substantial con
crete foundation wall constructed all
around It, with a fine, smooth cement
finish on the Inside. There is also a
stout brick division wall running across
the basement, and three rows of iron
pillars, on which the work of adjusting
the heavy floor beams, 14x18 inches, was
begun Saturday. It will not be long now
till tho walls of the structure will begin
to rise, and the pressed brick fronts will
be very handsome.

LAUNDRY STRIKE IS .ON
UNION WORKERS WILIj IjEAVE
THEIR JOBS TODAY. W
They Ask Recognition and More Pay
Employees Give Statement
ot Their Side.
Two hundred and seventy-five members
of the Shirtwaist and Laundry-Workers'
International Union, No. 90, will go on
strike this morning at 7 o'clock, for a rec
ognition of their union and an Increase
of pay, amounting, it is said, to an ad
vance of about 8 per cent over present
rates. The laundries to be affected aro:
Pacific City, Star, Union, American, Nov
elty, Troy, Dalton and Opera-House. Up
to late last night there was no Intimation
of a settlement.
The following communication was sub
mitted to The Oregonlan yesterday by the
Portland Laundrymen's Association, as
explanatory of existing differences be
tween the employers and their employes:
"On March 1 we were presented with
their International agreement and scale
of wages, requesting that we sign not
later than March 15. After thorough dis
cussion, it was decided wo could not ac
cept their demands, and In a courteous
reply covering Ave pages of type-written
LAYING THE WOOD-BLOCK PAVEMENT ON
FOURTH STREET
I ":i:3liimii r ! BFtfli
SCENE BETWEEN MORRISON AND ALDER STREETS.
One block of the wooden pavement for Fourth street has been laid.
During the week a busy scene has been presented between Morrison
and Alder streets. Carts were kept busy hauling away the old de
cayed blocks, and others bring the new, while the workmen were pre
paring the foundation and laying the pavement Large crowds gath
ered during the work and frequent debates were held as to the dura
bility of the wooden pavement as compared with other methods of
street paving;
matter we thoroughly explained our po
sition and reasons for having to refuse
their requests.
"In conversation with the president of
the Laundry-Workers' Union, regarding
the wage scale, he frankly admitted they
did not expect to get the wages demand
ed, and admitted that their demands were
entirely out of reason, but stated that
this matter might be left to arbitration.
During the latter part of March, the presi
dent requested a conference with the Port
land Laundrymen's Association, but ow
ing to the death of one of the members
of the association, it was impossible for
them to meet him and his committee on
the night which he requested, and our
secretary, replying, giving the reasons
why It was impossible to meet them that
night, agreed to meet him Tuesday even
ing, April 1, which at that time seemed
to be satisfactory to him. But at the
meeting that night he stated that he had
no power to act. because the time limit In
the proposed agreement had expired, and
that the same had been referred back to
the International Union In Troy, N. Y.,
together with the correspondence with us
on the subject, saying he would advise
us upon receipt of instructions from the
International Union.
"On Saturday, April 5, a grievance com
mittee from tho Trades Council met the
president of the Laundrymen's Associa
tion and requested that a meeting be ar
ranged with the laundry-workers to talk
over our differences, and to' see if we
could arrange a satisfactory settlement.
At the meeting on April 8, after some dis
cussion, it was agreed to refer the entire
matter, agreement and wage scale, to a
committee of disinterested persons; three
to be appointed by each side, they to se
lect a seventh, their decision to be final
and binding upon both parties. Thereupon
Mr. Blaney, chairman of the grievance
committee from the Trades Council, heart
ily approved our method of settlement as
being Just to all concerned. Our members
of this committee were selected, and a
meeting arranged for Tuesday, April 15,
at which they agreed to be present
"On Monday, April 14, the Laundry
Workers' president notified us that they
were compelled to withdraw from their
agreement to arbitrate. The same day we
received a letter from John J. Manning,
president of the International Union, say
ing he had Instructed the president of the
local union to call upon us and adjust as
speedily as possible the points in dispute.
"The Laundry-Workers having asked
the assistance of the Trades Council, their
arbitration committee requested a meeting
for Tuesday, April 22. At "this meeting
this committee presented modified de
mands, and Insisted upon their accept
ance, stating they had no power to change
these demands In any manner. The Laun
drymen's Association replied they could
not accept same, but were willing to sign
the following agreement:
" 'From this date we agree to engage
none but union members, when said union
members are available, the same to be
employed through the office of the union.
But do not agree to discharge any non
union help who are now in our employ,
or who may be engaged by us when said
union, at our request, has not been able
to furnish us with necessary help. The
union will at all times have the first
chance to fill vacant positions.'
"This they declined to accept and have
ordered a strike for Monday morning. The
laundrymen feel they have done all in
their power to adjust matters, and are
now paying more in each department,
with one or two exceptions, than their
scale demands, and more than Is being
paid for union help in other cities.

WANTS NEW HATCHERY.
Warden Van Dusen Thinks a Cen
trally Located Site Is Needed.
Master Fish Warden H. G. Van Dusen
and United States Fish Commissioner J.
N. Wisner returned Saturday from a trip
up the Columbia. They have under con
sideration a project for the establishment
of a large central fish hatchery at some
convenient place on the O. R. & N. line
on the Columbia. Under the present sys
tem the hatcheries are located In isolated
places, making It Impossible to transport
fish or eggs with satisfactory results. At
the hatchery on the White Salmon, the
Government collects annually some 19,000,
000 eggs. These are hatched, and all
turned out In one small stream. Owing
to the lack of transportation facilities. It
is not practicable to ship the fish to other
small streams to be turned loose.
Mr. Van Dusen believes that a large
plant should be erected on tho line of the
O. R. & N.. and that all eggs collected
from the streams In that district should
be sent there to be hatched. Eggs can be
transported with little difficulty. Then
when the eggs have been hatched, tho
young fish could be shipped In tanks by
rail and turned loose wherever the condi
tions seemed most favorable. He has no
particular place In mind as a suitable site
for such a hatchery. He says that Gov
ernment hatcheries In the East have been
located with a view to .securing ready
access to the railroads.

The many people who have become ad
mirers of the Stuart Stock Company since
their advent at the Baker expected much
of them, but the highest hopes were sur
passed by the splendid production of
"Hazel Klrke" which delighted the two
biggest houses of the engagement yes
terday. The wonderful old drama gives
every player In the company a chance,
and not one chance Is overlooked. The
series of strong situations which make
the Ihterest In the play so Intense are
brought out as none but artists could
bring them out and not a detail that goes
to make a finished performance Is lack
ing. Curtain calls followed every act, and
when the last severe strain was broken
by the happy ending at the last, the peo
ple streamed out of the theater declar
ing that the play was among the enter
tainment features of .the season.
It has been so long since "Hazel Klrke"
has been given In Portland that It Is per
haps worth while to say that the play
hinges on the Iron will of an old miller,
whose love for the truth Is greater than
his love for his daughter. To clear an
Indebtedness to an old friend, he prom
ises him the daughter's hand In mar
riage, and when the girl, falling In lovo
with a young nobleman she has nursed
back to life after an accident leaves her
father and breaks her word, the old
man's curse follows her. The curse seems
to work Its purpose. The secret marriage
of the girl and her lover, both are soon
convinced, is no marriage at all, and
she believing that she has been deceived,
returns to her father's roof, willing to
pay his debt by marrying the friend to
whom she was betrothed when she finds
that he is still waiting for her. But the
wrath of her father, who has meanwhile
been stricken with blindness, breaks forth
afresh, and the girl throws herself In the
mill pond, an act which breaks down the
old miller's resolve and he endeavors In
his blindness to rescue her. She is saved
by her husband, who is seeking her, their
marriage Is found to be valid, and a
happy ending saves the play from the
gloomy memory of many emotional
dramas.
Frank Sheridan as the miller, Dunstan
Klrke, was tremendously effective, ris
ing to the great scenes he has been given
with an earnestness and power which
few actors caii equal. In the third act,
when despairing In his blindness, the ,old
man gropes to the door beyond which his
daughter Is struggling in the water, he
held his audience spellbound, and from
that time to the end of the scene they
never missed a syllable from his tongue
or a motion of his expressive face. Miss
Elizabeth made a pretty Hazel, and her
emotional acting gave a strength and
color to the part that it must have to be
convincing. Mr. Stuart as PIttacus Green
was delightful in the comedy scenes, and
added another proof of his versatility.
He was ably seconded by Kathryn Coun
tiss, who made a winsome and vivacious
Dolly Dutton. The part of Squire Rod
ney, upon which much depends, was re
markably well done by Louis M6rrlson,
who has never yet failed to be equal to
any task assigned him. The part has
never been so well played In Portland.
C. P. Clary did a good bit of character
work as Joe (a miller), Arthur Garrles
was adequate as Lord Travers, and Lan
sing Rowan, although appearing in but
one scene, was her usual self-possessed,
smartly attired and artistic self.
The play Is excellently mounted. It
will run all the week and will undoubt
edly crowd the house.
THE COOLEY 'COMPANY.
"From Sire to Son" Well Given at
Cordray's Theater.
Cordray's Theater was filled with a
well-pleased audience last night, who
witnessed the opening performance of the
Frank Cooley Company, Milton Nobleft'
celebrated melodrama, "From Sire to
Son," being the opening bill. The play
Is too well known to need comment other
than to say that It was presented In a
thoroughly satisfactory manner, and its
many strong scenes and climaxes were
handled by one of the cleverest com
panies of players that ever played In Cor
dray's( Theater. Mr. Cooley has sur
rounded himself by a company far above
the average repertoire show. Mr. Cooley
Is an actor of ability and he was well
supported by Mr. Frank Readick, and in
fact every member of the cast His lead
ing lady, Miss Gladys Kingsbury, has
not only great talent but Is a very beau
tiful woman.
Terry McKean, of Astoria, who for
merly was a contributor to The Sunday
Oregonlan, appeared In a light comedy
part and more than pleased many of his
admirers In the audience. Mr. McKean
has been on the stage but a little while,
and his acting Is full of promise.
Tonight Henry Guy Carlton's spark
ling comedy, "The Butterflies," will be
presented. This Is the play John Drew
and Maude Adams scored such a success
In a few seasons ago. It is without doubt
one of the strongest plays In the Cooley
repertoire.

DRUGGISTS MUST BE CHARY.
They Sell all Kinds of Hair Prepara
tions, :.nd Fear to Discriminate.
Druggists sell all kinds of hair prep
arations, and as a rule they are wisely
chary of giving preference to any par
ticular one, but many of them have coma
out plainly for Newbro's Herpiclde, the
new treatment that absolutely kills th9
dandruff germ. H. Swannell & Son,
Champaign, 111., say: "One customer of
ours who did not have a hair on top of
his head when he began to use Herpiclde,
now has a fair atart toward a good head
of hair. "We believe Herpiclde to be by
far the best preparation of Its kind on the
market." Hundreds of similar testimo
nials from everywhere.
