The three flre Babcock boilers,- which were delivered on the ground "some time ago, will be lnsts. lied first. A large quan tity of fire-brick were delivered a week ago. with some -concrete, which will be used In bricking up the tubular boilers. The boiler are said to aggregate 500 liorseppwer. The boiler-house will be about 50 feet square, but as tor the .otb.gr buildings, it was stated yesterday that plans for them had not yet Tsbin drat?n. The engine has not yet arrived, but Is ex pected very soon. , fjfir ' F. A. Morris went over the ggmnd last week to gain some Idea -of what, sort of buildings will be erocted. An engi neer came up from California to su perintend the installation of the boil ers. 'Already the ground from the south side of the Wallace tract is being cleared tn riant Clftv street.

" FREE DELIVERY ROUTES. Tlie Dlwtrlct Surrounding Colnmbln SIourIi Will Have Quick Malls. Koarly every portion of the county east of Portland will be covered by rural free mall delivery before the year Is out. The now route at Fairvifcw has just been in-; SDectod by Inspector Clements, and lt will be started xrp about July. 15. " Throe 1 young men have taken examinations to act as carriers. The territory to be cov ered by this route Includes a consider-, able portion of Columbia Slough. Along" the Sandy road a large number of fam ilies, who have been getting their mall 'in Portland, are included In this new rural delivery route. This will be a great .con venience to them, as they will receive their mall direct and without deiay. At South, Mount Taoor the people have petitioned for free rural delivery. A map was prepared and forwarded with.the pe titlon. but unfortunately In some way the map has not been delivered. It is a necessary part of the showing for free delivery, as It Indicates the territory tq be served. Loss of the mrfp will delay the matter of getting the service, but It will probably come in a few months at the most. Another map can be made". Monta villa will doubtless soon begin makirfg, a movement for free delivery, now that .the place will be surrpunded with free delivery districts. It has nearly 1500 people, .and would constitute a con siderable free delivery district- - Mllwaukle will likely be the fcenter of a free delivery rout now before Very long. All the conditions precedent to Its estab lishment have been complied with. About 100 families will be served when It shall! have been established, Retires "With Good Wishes.' Thad W.

North Carolina makes a fine exhibit of resources, and Georgia and Missouri have done their part hat good spirit, but from the other Southern states there is almost nothing notable. Each of of the exhibits named Is a purely local affair, and even that of South Carolina is organized upon a county, rather than a state, basis. The West Indian feature Is-nowhere sol large as In the official name. It consists of the exhibits of Cuba and Porto Rico" as they were originally organized for the Buffalo fair, bodily -transferred here and set up in a building especially constructed for them. They are wholly serious,, and while they make a highly interesting feature of the fair, they contributenoth ing in the way of novelty and have no re flection In its general tone or spirit. In-" deed, there Is nothing here excepting these isolated island exhibits which hears anyjf-erelgn suggestlveness. In its whole charapter the fair is essentially American and lacking, therefore. In one of the great dements of interest properly belonging to an "international" enterprise. -. There Is one feature In which the expox. sltion Is truly Southern In character, and in which it has been charmingly success ful. I refer to the social feature. At the7 Centennial, at Phlladelphlafthere was no attempt on the social side. At the Colum bian exposition the city was too big and the spirit of the people was not equal to It. At Buffalo thel6cal people were in different and neglectful of visitors. At Omaha there was hospitality enough of the sort which shows off the stock yards and seeks to interest you in real estate. At Atlanta and Nasnville, of which I shall write In detail In due course, thee was a good -social spirit; but it remained for Charleston to set a fashion which Is likely to tax the powers of any city which may hereafter Invite the world to come .and visit It. Lon& before the exposition opened there was careful and systematic organization of its social forces. Mrs. Sarah Calhoun Simons, the acknowledged head of Charleston society,, was Induced to take, the lead, and she has proved to be a most consummate general. Under Mrs. Simons' .presidency, the Woman's Department of the exposition was organized into Utpub departroents, eachf under a chairwoman, with power to choose her -own assistants. Some slight financial" provision was made by the association for this department, but aside from supplying a house on the grounds, the women were practicaily left to shift for themselves. Various devices were resorted to to raise money, and whoa the fair opened there was on hand a very considerable fund. The general scheme was to entertain In an Inexpensive but graclou: way every official or dis tinguished visitor to give the 'glad hand" In such way as would be intrinsic ally civil and cordial and maintain the traditional character' of Charleston for social courtesy and refinement. The- undertaking was no small one, but It has been carried out not only In spirit, hut to the letter. The list of visitors to whom some Bprt of social attention was deemed due has Included the official representa tives of almost every state In the Union, members of -unnumbered social and com mercial bodies, the Governors of 19 states and the President of the United States. In general, "each of the represent ative bodies has Jjeen entertained at luncheon at the Woman's Building with such attendance of exposition officials as propriety called for; but, in addition to this, entertainments have been given In private houses for each visiting body In every Instance where the circumstances were of a kind to justffy it. By arrange ment, these house entertainments were limited to simple and inexpensive lines, so that nobody might feel embarrassed because of the more sumptuous enter tainments of her neighbor. Refreshments wore limited to sandwiches, cake and fruit, and in the line of drinkables, only punch .was allowable. Charleston has, many beautiful homes vastly many, when the Small whtte impu tation is considered and during the six months In which tho exposition has been In progress almost e'ery one of them has been opened again and again for the entertainment of .the public guests. And the more personal and private .enter taining has been on a slmflarly-Jgenerous scale. Any visitor with title to social consideration has been received with a cordiality which will forever make Charleston a place of grateful memory. This universal social cordiality has seemed all the more delightful by Its 'con trast with the social frost at Buffalo and from common knowledge of the general soclalexcluslvencss of the old-tlmo aris tocracy of Charleston. It is something to be remembered when one finds himself the guest of hbnor in a house hallowed by memories of the period which preceded the Revolution, graced by the portraits of beautiful great-grandmothers in thoir 'teens, painted in the costumes In which they trod the minuet with La Fayette's lieutenants, and dignified by the mahogany of which furniture-makers ost the art more than a century ag6. One Is not likely to forget the Sunday when he sat as a gue.st in a pew which has been occupied "by the family" for more than a century, and where one's host's great-grandfather once had George Washington as a guest. And there will be no hard heart to condemn, I hope. If some part of the sermon was lost In the effort to trace the scars of the Federal shells fired from Fort Sumter, and in regarding the 'fragment of cannon-ball from the same source which fell within the pew and "now preserved there with scarcely less reyerenoe than the service book from which the visiting Washington read the responses. Nor Is one likely to regard as commonplace the day when he sat In the old Huguenot church, listening less to the organ, fine as it is, and less to the reverend pastor,- eloquent as he is, than to the-solemn chant of three cen turies of heroic history all "typified by this old temple at once sacred and quaint. The hospitality of Charleston gains much, unquestionably, from this setting from its background of tradition and history, from Its record'of social pride, from its historic names, from its years, of suffer ingbut it does not depend upon these things. Of itself. It has charmed every visitor to Charleston during the exposi tion, and none more 'than A. H. Charleston, S. C, May 23, 1902. Prince Henry and the Sailor. BERLIN, June 4. Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia has exchanged presents with an ordinary seaman of his squadron. When Prince Henry's grandmother. Queen Louise, was fleeing from Napoleon in 1803, she took shelter one night in the dwelling of a peasant. The next morn ing the Queen gave her peasant boat a 1 beautiful watch, together with certain documents, which were preserved In this peasant's family as heirlooms. The watch .came eventually to be car ried by a sailor on a vessel of Prince Henry's squadron. Prince Henry noticed the sailor's timepiece, examined and ad mired It, whereupon the owner presented It to the Prince. The gift was accepted by Prince Henry with courteous expres sion of hfc thanks. Later the Prince made inquiries concerning he sailor's as pirations and as a result he secured his entrance to the School of Navigation, at Hamburg and gave hlra money with which to. pay all the expenses of a course there. Princess Henry will accompany Prince Henry to the coronation of King Edward on board the battle-ship Kaiser Friederlch III. Prince Henry Is building a second "silver chamber" In Kiel Caetle. to ac commodate a, large and rare collection of silverware which he, has Inherited from the late Prince George of Prussia. i STRUGGLE FOR RICHES. Endangers the Republic, Says Pres ident Patton. CHICAGO, June 4. The dangers to American National life resulting from the love of ease and luxury adduced by mod ern civilization, was pointed out by Fran cis L. Patton, president of Princeton University, at the meeting of the Presby terian Social Union, ii) this city, last night. Professor Patton's address was upon "The Place of Conscience In tho Na tional Life," and his remarks tended to show that the American ideals of life had reached a point where they no longer 'approached the highest ideals of Chris tianity. "Out National conscience Is In great dangerat present," said President Pat ton, "qp'accoupt of the great desire for luxury andwealth which Is pervading this country to-the detriment of all other am bitions. I have no objedtion to luxuries and riches in themselves, but it Is in the manner of obtaining some of the great fortunes at the cost of , conscience and honor that the danger to our American Republic lies.'

RIPARIA-LEWISTON UNI CONSTRUCTION TO BE RESUMED IN A FEW DAYS. Surveyors In the Field Retracing: the Route and Making Corrections To Be Done This Yenr. The O. R. & N. has engineers In the field iretraclng the old line for a railroad on the north side of Snake River between Lewlston and Rlparla, preparatory to starting active building operations: A party under F. S. Shaw, of the engineer department of the O. R. & N., has begun work at a point opposite Lewlston, and will have the entire line retraced in a few days. Invitations for bids for con struction work are already out, and con tracts will eoon be awarded for the grade. Three years ago the survey was com pleted and work was commenced at sev eral places where It was difficult to get room for the track around the points of Jutting bluffs. Since then many of the stakes have disappeared, and it is now necessary to have them retjet: and then'lt is expected that the line can be Imprdyed by another examination anyway. The company expects to place this line right In the first place and avoid the experience that has cost so much money oa the road down the Columbia. A new survey for a bridge across the 'Clearwater River at Lewlston has Just been completed. It will be where the Sll cott ferry now runs, abreast the chief business section of the city, and only about one block from the -Northern Pa cific depot The' contracting firm of Hale & Smith was awarded the work three years ago, and J. H. Smith, of that companj. Is now making a personal examination of. the line to observe Its condition and be ready to resume work If he can get the contract again. There will be 78 miles of the new line. As evidence of the fact that It Is to be made first-class In all respects, it may be cited that the grade will be IS feet wide Instead of 16 feet, as wd6 originally planned, and the ties and rails will also be suited to heavy traffic Present Intentions are to have dirt flying by June 20 at the latest, and to complete the road by tho end of this year. Difficulty has al ready been experienced In, getting men for railroad construction, and the scarcity of labor Is likely to prove a considerable embarrassment to this enterprite.

The Chronicle states today that efforts are being made to perfect a union organization for the telegraph operators of the Great Northern Railway, reaching from Seattle to St. Paul. It is said that heretofore the rail way management has opposed the forma tion of such an organization. A leading purpose of tho promoters of the union la said to be to obtain an advance In their .wages, which. It Is contended, are lower than on other Northwestern lines. It Is proposed to send a grievance, committee to St. Paul to ask for an adjustment of the wage scale on a higher plane. No Change in Price of Ralls. NEW YORK, June 4. The steel rail pool is reported to have fixed the price of steel rails for 1503 at -J2S a ton, the rate now prevailing. A large number of orders for next year already have beeir placed, among them several' from Import ant railroads In both the West and East, Heretofore the pool has not fixed its price until Fall, but olng to the large demand and to the fact that the entire production for 1902 Is already sold, it was necessary this year for the manufacturers to take action earlier tha'n usual. Americami at the Coronation. NEW YORK, June 4-Many erroneous rumors have been current respecting the number of Americans who h"ave been in vited to the coronation at the Abbey, ca bles tho London correspondent of the Tribune. Court officials have emphasized the fact from the outset that only those foreigners having official relations with the Government can attend the corona tion, which cannot be witnessed by m6re than 6000 persons apart from the special and regular Ambassadors and their wives.
