"Two Little. "Walf." Building "Work Goes Ahead. Build ing operations were resumed on most of the large b'ulldlngs In course of construc tion about town yesterday. At the Law rence Company's building, First and Oak streets, brick are being delivered as fast as can be desired, and Contractor Frie berg Is happy. He was yesterday setting the large granite bases for the piers of the fronts, and today will begin laying the pressed brick fronts. The brick for these comes from Jfewberg, and there is enough on hand to run the walls up one story, and another carload will arrive to day. The brick are of a dull red or choc olate color. The foundations for the an nex to the First National Sank are com pleted, and the floor beams were being put In yesterday, and the erection, of the cut-stone front will be commenced at once. The wall separating the annex from the building will not be cut through at once, for obvious reasons. The vitri fied brick for the foundations of the Fail ing estate building, at Third and Mor rison streets, were being delivered yester day, and work will probably be resumed there today. The concrete foundations and cross walls on the basement of T. M. Richardson's building, at Third and Sal mon streets, are being put in as rapidly as possible. Quit Business on Account of High Rent. Messrs. Mctsch & Hussey, who undertook to carry on the market busi ness at the corner of Fourth and Alder streets after John Vlnce so unceremoni ously threw up the sponge there, a short time ago, closed out their stock and re tired from business yesterday. They had been paying $150 per month rent for the building, which belongs to the Burke es tate, and yesterday were notified that the rent would be raised to $250 per month. This raised them out. Just what use the building can be put to outside of a mar ket it Is difficult to imagine, as Vlnce used the upper stories for a long time as chicken pens. It Is probable that, as the property Is valuable, the old build ings on it are going to be torn down and a building to correspond with the loca- tlon and value of the property to be erected, which will be a good thing for the street and all concerned. The de parting tenants have no Idea that It was supposed they weuld stand the raise lor a moment, but say that several par ties have been trying to lease the prop erty for saloon purposes, and there may be a saloon there. Nurses to Graduate. The graduating class of nurses at the St. Vincent's Hos pital has successfully passed its final examinations, and nine trained nurses will be added to the profession. The fol lowing are the members of the class: Sarah Lawler, Florine Shaw, Mabel Hen dee, Marguerite Gleason, Caroline Mor san, Annie Reidy, Kathrine Kelley, Eleanor Donaldson and Theresa Cronen. The returns were received yesterday, and it was with much satisfaction that they learned that not one had failed to pass with a good mark. T,he course of train ing at the St. Vincent's Hospital com prises two and a half years of hard and faithful work, during which time the nurses must not only have the practical -experience of nursing, but must take up the study of various branches of med icine and be able to pass examinations upon them. The examinations are rigid tests, and the high marks attained speak well for the class. The commencement exercises will be held at the hospital on May 22, and a pleasing programme is be ing prepared. To Build at Burnside and Washing ton. One by one, but all too slowly, the numerous clusters of old shacks anound town are disappearing before the march of improvement. The last riddance of this kind has Just occurred at the junc tion of Burnside street with Washington, in a fractional block, 100 feet long on Washington and CO feet wide at one end and 20 feet at the other. The book store, plumbing shop and Chinese laundry which occupied the tract have been cleared away, and the work of excavat ing for the foundations of a new building there is begun. The Espey estate, which owns the property. Is to erect thereon at once a two-story wooden building after pians prepared oy k. Martin, architect, at a cost of about $10,000. The lower story Is to be divided Into stores and the upper one into flats. It will be a rather handsome building, and will greatly im prove the appearance of that neighbor hood. . Beetle Found That Kills Trees. Professor A. B. Cordley, of the Oregon Agricultural College, called at the head quarters of the State Board of Horti culture yesterday and examined the limbs of several trees which had been destroyed by a little beetle. The limbs exhibited by Secretary Lamberson showed that the work of the beetle could hardly be no ticed. The bore did not exceed the size of a pinhead, but it is very destructive to the tree. The beetle itself, of which Mr. Lamberson had a sample, did not exceed one-third the size of the common ant. The Insect, however, has powerful Jaws, and it Is able to cut its way from the bark to the pith of the tree. Pro fessor Cordley, as the entomologist of the college, will visit the Flanders or chard, near Vancouver, which is Infested with the beetle, and will olso Inspect the Steel orchard, and devise some means, for the extermination of the insect. British Residents to Meet. The Brit ish Benevolent Society will hold an in formal gathering on the evening of Sat urday, May 24, at Trinity Parish House, on Fifth street, near Oak, in commemor ation of the anniversary of the birthday of the late Queen Victoria. They cordial ly Invite the members of the St. Andrew's and Hibernian societies, the Caledonian Club and Clan Maclay to join with them on this occasion. There will be an Inter esting programme of national songs, and ballads. Interspersed with a few brief, but bright speeches. .The ladies of the association have undertaken to provide the refreshments; so there need Tie no fear of any one having to go empty away. British residents who are not members of any of the societies mentioned will be heartily welcomed, and no one will be turned away, so long as there is "room in uie inn. Here's a Good Riddance. The ruinous old shack on Taylor street, opposite the M. E. church, has been torn down, and part of the debris is being removed, and the remainder is being destroyed by the purifying agency of Are. The attention of the Health Department Is called to the filthy and unsafe condition of the walls of the Chinese building adjoining. A ver itable gutter has been worn in the end of one of these buildings by the slops from a discharge pipe, which ran down the wall for years, and the side wall of the other building is so cracked and crev iced that it would fall but for the supr port of adjoining buildings. There should be an overhauling and general all-round cleaning up in that locality. If xtju are thixkzno of making a trip East, now is the time to take advantage of the low excursion rates named by the Northern Pacific Try the North Coast Limited, electric lighted, steam heated, jrlde-vestibuledi in fact, an up-to-date rain- It don't cost any more to travel bn this train than it does on any other. 8"nr full Information, rjill at fci tlrV ifflce. No. 255 Morrison street, corner ;mra. Circular on Chinese Exclusion Law. Collector of Customs Patterson has Just received a circular from Acting Secretary O. L. Spaulding. In regard to the enforce ment of the Chinese exclusion law, set ting forth the conditions under which registered Chinese laborers, seeking ad mission to the United States, after tem porary Absence, can be allowed to re turn. It provides that such Chinese la borers shall notify the Collector of the port from which they departed at least 90 days in advance of their intention to re turn, giving name and address and ground on whleh they claim the right of admission. The Collector, upon receipt of such notice, will Investigate the claim made therein, and if this falls to estab lish the validity of such claim, the person making It should be notified that he r!ll not be permitted to re-enter the United States. Upon the arrival of any regis tered Chinese laborer at any port of the United States, and his exhibition of his return certificate to the appropriate of ficer, the Collector of Customs of such port should require such Chinese to es tablish satisfactorily, as a condition pre cedent to his admission to the United States, that he has, at the time of such arrival, a lawful wife, child, or parent In the United States, or property therein of the value of $1000, or debts of like amount due him and pending settlement. If the evidence establishing the eligibility of the applicant to enter has previously been secured, and is not controverted, J then he shall be admitted without delay, but otherwise he shall be refused a land ing until he establishes his right thereto. One Oregon Industry. "The business in shaved hoops Is about over for this season," remarked a man who was de livering a load of this merchandise on Front street yesterday. "The sap ls-pret-ty well up in the hazels now, and the bark peels off very easily, and, as the strength of a hoop depends considerably on the bark, the cutting of hazels must now stop till next Fall. Hoops made when the sap is up have also a tendency to mold, and are not saleable. Quite a business Is done in manufacturing hazel hoops In this region, and it gives employ ment to a considerable number of men during the Fall and Winter. There are two firms here engaged In buying and shipping hazel hoops to California, and during the past year they have shipped about 300,000 hoops, for which they pay about $6 per thousand. Some of tho men employed in shaving hoops are graduates In the. business from Hoophole Township, Posey County, Ind. There Is Cio danger of the hazel brush used In making hoops being exhausted in this state for many a day. Where one stick Is cut half a dozen spring up In its place, and It does not take them long to grow'to a diameter of 1 to V& inches, which is the size com monly used. Some cut hazels ahead dur ing the Winter and early Spring to work up after the sap starts, but It is much harder to split and shave these than green ones. Repairing Block Pavement. The owners of property at Fourth and Yam hill streets among them Tyler Wood ward and Henry Monnastes, are setting a good example to other property owners In the neighborhood by having the wood block pavement repaired. In some places quite a number of blocks, and in others only two or three, which show signs -.of decay, are being removed and sound ones put in their places, making the street appear as good as new. The pavement In that vicinity is becoming badly pitted with these defective blocks, and unless they are soon replaced. It will be In much the same condition by next Winter that Fourth street is where the new pavement has not been laid. A trifling expense in the way of repairs would keep the pave ment in good condition for a 'year sr two or longer. No Hood River Berries Yet. Henry W. Fries, who took his family up to Hood River laBt Saturday for the Summer, says that there have" been no berries shipped from that place yet this season. He says the strawberry vines are loaded with blossoms and give promise of a fine crop, but that there will be no ripe berries' there for a week or so. The berries seen in the markets here labeled H6od River berries are of the same round shape and deep red color as those raised at Hood River, but are probably grown In Cali fornia, and are called Hood RWer berries because they are the kind raised at Hood River. They bring about three times as much as the ordinary California, berries, which is very creditable to Hood River. Who Poisoned These Dogs? Two val uable retriever dogs were poisoned with in a few minutes of each other, on Eight eenth street, opposite the Couch school building, Sunday night. One of the dogs was a pet named "Dash," and was val ued at $75, and was the property of Dan iel Camion. "Dash" was tied up nearly all day Sunday, and was let loose about supper time for a run around the block. The dog came bapk dying after he had been absent only a few minutes, and the symptoms were that he had eaten pois oned meat, thrown by some one on the grass. The other dog was similarly af fected. "Dash" was a quiet dog, and was two years old. The case has been handed to the police. Fourth of July Celebration. A pub lic meeting is hereby called, to be held at the Council Chamber in the City Hall, on Wednesday evening, May 21, at 8 o'clock, and all patriotic and public spirited citizens are requested to be pres ent for the purpose of making necessary preliminary arrangements for the cele bration of the Fourth Day of July, 1902, in a becoming manner in this city.

Yerkes' Story Didn't Go. C. R. Yerkes, a deckhand on board the steamer Ruth, was before Municipal Judge Can? eron yesterday, charged with assaulting Sam Wing, a Chinese cook on board the steamer. "Sam Wing testified: "Last Sunday a week ago we tried to serve the crew with dinner at one sitting, and there was not room for all. Yerkes was one of the disappointed ones, and he "broke a plate and threw one of the pieces at me, cutting my face." "I never threw a plate at you," spoke up Yerkes; "It was this way: I .broke the plate, 'cause I was mad at getting no dlnnen I threw one of the pieces on. the table. Now, this table is near the open window, leading to the kitchen, and I suppose tho piece of plate may have gone through tho window. How was I to know that the Chinaman was passing at the time? I've got no fight with Sam Wing, but I had words with the other Chinese waiter. Wong GIng, because he got gay with me sometimes." The Judge decided that a case of assault had been made out and he fined Yerkes $25. The fine was paid. Contractors Let Off Easily. Frank Woodman and L. L. Carter, contractors, were before Municipal Judge Cameron yesterday, charged with proceeding with the erection of buildings without having first obtained a permit as required by law, from the City Engineer, and were both fined $5, but the fines were remit ted. Woodman pleaded guilty. When asked what he wanted to plead, Carter said: "I'll leave it to Your Honor." "But" replied the Judge, "you make your plea, and then the court wllL decide according to the evidence." "Well," sald. carter. I suppose I am guilty, if you T people-say so. I did not take out a per mit at the time, but I have taken out a permit since." "Then the court finds you guilty," decided the Judge. "However, your Intentions seem to have been good, and you did not willingly seek to evade the law. You are fined $5, and under the circumstances the fine Is remitted. This Is no criterion, however, of what the court may do In the future. When you commence to work on a new building, you must apply for the proper permit" Was There e'mbezzlbment? E. F. Morefleld was charged yesterday, In the Municipal Court with embezzling and converting to his own use the sum of $200 02, on the complaint of George Wood worth, representing 'the Chicago Portrait Company. It was In evidence that More field was employed by the company as agent, and that frames and pictures to the value of the sum mentioned were given hlhi to sell, and that his profit was to be what he received for the frames, less the list price. Woodworth testified: '"Morefleld admitted the shortage to me, and asked time to have the matter fixed up. The goods were shipped from Chi cago, to the order of the company." Tho lawyer for the defense asserted that no case of embezzlement had been made out against Morefleld, and Municipal Judge Cameron took the case under advisement to 'look up authorities on the point of law raised. Where a Leak Came From. Employes of the City Water Works were called out yesterday morning to repair another leaky pipe, which had started a "never falling spring" on Front street On dig ging down to the leak, it was found that It was from the old hydraulic main laid In Front street years ago by P. F. Morey, to furnish water for operating hydraulic elevators when they first came Into use here. The pressure was supplied from the dydraullc pumping station established by Mr. Morey at the foot of Oak street, where was also installed the first electric plant for city lighting, out of which grew tho Portland General Electric Company. The pumps there also furnished water under pressure for the street hydrants for fire protection for a time before Bull Run water was brought In. The pumps are still kept running to furnish pressure for operating some 23 hydraulic elevators. Investigating Old Recordb. Says the Topeka Dally Capital of May 15: "Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, of Oregon, is in Topeka examining the Indian office manuscripts of General William Clark, Superintendent of Indian Affairs at St Louis, in the li brary of the State Historical Society, She Is engaged In an investigation of ma terial relating to the Lewis and Clark ex pedition, which she proposes to embody in a historical work.

I had a headache most of the time, and suffered misery For several months I ran down? until 1 lost about 70 pounds in weight and finally had to give up a good position and go home. Any food that I might use seemed to nauseate me. "My wife hardly knew what to do until one day she brought home a package of Grape-Nuts and coaxed me to try them. I told her it was no use, but finally, to humor her, I tried a little, and they just struck my taste. It was the first food that I had eaten in nearly a year that did not cause any suffering. "Well, to make a long story short, I began to Improve, and stuck to Grape Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds on De cember 24, 1900, to 194 pounds on October 5, 1901. "My brain is clear, blood all right and appetite too much for any man's pocket book. In fact I am thoroughly bade over, and owe It all to Grape-Nuts.
