Chdoesb Become Americanized. The recent statistics1 of the city have shown that of late jthere has been an Increase In the number of deaths of Chinese from tuberculosis. A few years ago tubercu losis among the Chinese was almost un known, but during the past month or two Beveral have fallen victims to It, and consumptive-looking Chinamen may be seen on Second street any day. Tvro passed while a reporter was talking to an old fireman yesterday, and he remarked that In his day consumption among: the Chi nese was as rare as cholera among the white people of the United States. Asked the cause of the change, by which the Chinese contracted consumption, , he said it ,was by their adoption of American ideas. In his day the Chinaman was a laborer who worked hard for and hoard ed his money, in the hope that jone day he might return rich to his kingdom. To day, he said, one laborer out of ten does not save his money, but instead he passes it over the gambling table, just as white men do. He knew of Chinamen -who had leaned over tables night after night and day after day, and .had at last suc cumbed to consumption during the past year, and he was Inclined to attribute some of the recent deaths to the violation of the laws of health. Growth or Dairy Industry. Food and Dairy Commissioner Bailey has Just re turned from a week's trip to Tillamook County, and says that he found the dairymen there in a very prosperous con dition. More than 1.500,000 v pounds of cheese, he said, would be produced this year, an increase of 331-3 per cent over last year. The cheese hod a selling price of 11 cents at the creamery, and it was being shipped as far south as Los An geles and as far north as Skagway. The conditions for the production of butter and cheese were unexcelled. The Income of some dairymen from cows fed upon grass alone, and with no cost for extra fodder, amounted to $117 per month, or more than $11 per cow. New settlers were arriving, and Tillamook City will have another bank by the first of the month. The county now has a good steamship service, and is enabled to send its produce to the market in better time than formerly. Some of the dairymen that Mr. Bailey interviewed said that they would send an exhibit of butter and cheese to the State Fair, and they seemed to be assured that they would carry off the first prize. Building Still DELAYED.vTHe delay In the arrival of some iron pillars Is again Interfering with the work on the new Failing building, and until the pillars ar rive but little work can be done. The Joist for the flooring of the first story is nearly all In place, and when this has been completed the workmen will have to lay off for a few days, until work can be commenced on the walls. The numerous strikes In the different parts of the coun try have had a bad effect on 'this build ing, delaying construction many weeks, and the lirst floor should have been com pleted long ago Needed a Bath, Maybe. A man who afterward said that his name is John Schoememan, about 35 years old, created a scene yesterday afternoon near the Union terminal yards, by announcing that he would like to throw himself In the river. Policeman Hogeboom was sent for, and as Schoememan's behavior was er ratic but not violent, Hogeboom took him to the police station to keep him out of harm until his friends can, be found. The stranger appears to be suffering from mental trouble, and cannot give a co herent account of himself. Better Service Hereafter. The turn In the City & Suburban track at the corner of Third and Glisan streets will be finished by the middle of the week, and cars will run through town on the Second street line without transfer. This line will be used all Summer, or until the new rails are laid on the Third street line. The rails have not yet arrived, but as soon as they do, a large gang of men will be set to work 'putting them in place, so that the traveling public" will be inconvenienced as short a time as possible. Cooler Weather. The maximum tem perature yesterday was but 70 degrees, as compared with 90 degrees for Saturday and Friday, making the day much more comfortable than the previous days for those who went to the parks or the ball grounds. The weather for the last week has been unusually hot, but If days as cool as yesterday continue for any length of time, the beaches will be cheated out of their usual quota of those who leave this city to evade the high temperature. Yino Back Gets Gay. Ting Back started to carry his heax-Ily laden bas kets, on a pole, along First street, near Taylor, last night, when he was arrested by Policeman H. A. Parker, charged with violating a city ordinance. The China man was taken to the police station, but one of his numerous cousins soon called and secured his liberty by depositing $25 for Ting Back's appearance at the Mu nicipal Court. Heception for Miss Parsons.

According to the calculations- of a civil engineer, 40 per cent of the property of Portland Is occu pied by streets. The figures of the en gineer show that the platting of the townslte was due to a mistaken idea that the city would never become the metrop olis of the Northwest, and laid their plans for -a small town which would con trol the tqade of only the Willamette and the Ciolumtila. In proportion to the size of the blocks, a great deal of space was allowed for streets, and o. congestion of traffic which the pioneers did not look for, now results on some of the principal thoroughfares of the city. The, engineer said that as the city had grown bo large and as It was found that the streets were too narrow, the present and future Coun cils should make provision for wide streets. As the business dlstrlc had moved westward on the West Side, and eastward 6n the East Side, action ,for the later generations should be taken. Future generations might not .appreciate favorable action by a Gouncl), but they" might in their time find 'driveways- along which they would not have to dodge elec tric cars. Hit by a Car. Edward A. Dalne, of Klst, Or., was hit by car 41 of the Six teenth street line, while walking on the trestle on Sherlock avenue, last night at 11 o'clock, and knocked off to the ground below, striking his head on a projecting beam and getting a severe shaking up. Evidence Indicates that the injured man was intoxicated and tried to walk on the trestle, when there wasNa good plank walk within a few feet. There are no street lamps in the Immediate vicinity, and the car, under the control of Motor man Chrlstensen and Conductor Morris, was hurrying northward near the end of th& run, when Dalne was seen on the track, a few feet In front The brakes were applied and the motors reversed, but the car had sufficient headway to catch up with the man and strike him In the lower part of the back, and being near the edge of the trestle, he was knocked off, and In falling hit a beam that cut a severe gash in his head, landing on the ground, six feet below. The carmen made efforts to secure an ambulance, but with out avail, and finally the patrol arrived and took the Injured man to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where his Injuries are not considered serious. Many Tourists in the City. Seldom before In the history of Portland have there been so many Eastern tourists In the city as at present. The hotels are all crowded with guests, mostly from East ern cities, some of them on pleasure bent, others looking about for locations and business openings. Many of these visit ors were In evidence yesterday, some looking about the city and the different suburbs, others going on short trips up the valley and down the Columbia River. As yesterday was an Ideal day, those who were able to get away from the city enjoyed themselves Immensely, looking over the ripening grain fields and hop yards, and trying their luck In the spark ling trout streams. Crowds Off to the Seaside. The trains and steamers which left for Sea side Saturday were crowded with excur sionists who sought relief from the warm weather which has been prevailing dur ing the past week. Each boat leaving carried Its -quota of passengers, who en Joyed the cooling breezes of the Colum bia. As the seaside season Is now at Its height, the usual Summer excursions may soon be looked for, and the business man who has a few hours to spare will be en abled to take the Saturday night boat to the coast and return home Monday morn ing. Observation Car of the City & Suburb an Railway will leave Third and Morrl- j son daily at 2 P. M., visiting all parts of me uiij. a ueugnuui ana interesting ride for visitors and tourists.

SHIELDS' HAS GREAT SHOW Performance Given Laiit Nlsht Ex celled All Previous Ones. Shields' Park was again unable to ac commodate one-half the people who sought admission, although the new bal cony accommodated nearly 1000. When the gates opened at 7 o'clock the line at the box-office extended for a block, and at 8:30 standing room was refused. The performance was excellent the best of the season. .Demontrello's barrel-Jumping act was a decided novelty, and -the daring and ease with which he performed made It sensa tional, especially the part where, blind folded, he jumped over a five-foot fence from a small pedestal onto a similar one on the opposite side, and then over two barrels without losing his balance In addition to all this he did tricks, jump ing, landing first on a ball, then an egg and finally on a man's face, without ln-j Jury to any of -the articles or to the man. Borton and Draper did a clever singing and horizontal-bar turn, and the Duffy children made a decided hit in their clever specialty. Floyd and Stiles, two Portland boys, made their first appearance In a black-face act and captured their share of applause. Both sing well. The illustrated songs and the polyscope were the best of the season. The slides for the "Star and the Flower" were es pecially good, and the moving pictures were funnier than ever. O'Leary and Fay were held over for their second week, and diversified their clever Juggling turn with a number of tricks Several more numbers rounded out the long and highly entertaining, per formance.

FOR FraSsrrotvera Association "Will Be Ready for Business In October East Side Notes. The 14-Inch water main on East First street was laid to Belmont street Sat urday and under the intersection. It has been very difficult to lay' this main, owing to the great number of railway sidetracks on Tliwt "First all the wav 1 .from East Market street. The trench In many places had to be cut Tinder the tracks. Passing trains caused the dirt to cave In. In cutting under the inter section of East First and Belmont streets the sides of the trench had to be braced with timbers to prevent caving. The route of the trench has been marked out to -Cast Oak street where the pipe line ends at present, on the east side of the embankment. Several more Intersec tions have to be crossed before the end is reached, but if pipe is supplied the main will probably be completed to East Oak street by next Saturday. The intention Is finally to extend this main along the water front through Low er Alblna, for protection to the grain docks, factories and other large property Interests in that portion of the city,but the main will not bo extended for the present Thenext step will be to take up the six-Inch main that was put down on East First street some time ago. It may be used In some other district in need of water. The specially devised fire hy drants for this pipe line will be attached to the 14-Inch main at the Intersections designated by Chief Campbell as soon as possible. As the big pipe has been put down provisions have been made at all the Intersections for these hydrants, so it will take but a short time to put them In position. READY FOR BUSINESS BY FALL. Frnltsrrovrers' Union Will Be Per fected In October. In October the matter of perfecting a strong Fruitgrowers' Union In Multnomah and the surrounding counties will again bo taken up. C. H. Welch, president of the union which was formed In the Spring, says tHat steps will then be taken to perfect the organization, using the small start that has been made as the. basis The effort to organize was started too late In the season to accomplish very much, but after all the foundation was laid for future building. A Joint stock company, with a capital stock of $100, was formed as the result of that effort Directors were elected, and a consider able number of fruitgrowers took stock and signified their willingness to do all in their power to promote a Fruitgrow ers' Union along sound business Hnes. A large number of fruitgrowers held aloof from the movement but It Is hoped to bring them Into the union In October, or at least before the fruit season opens next year. AH the growers Interviewed on the sub ject admit tha't n. linlnn shnnlil ho tcvrm&A as other fruitgrowing sections have or ganized with profit President, Welch and directors of the union thus formed express the hope that every fruitgrower will see- his way clear In October to join tne movement The growers are asked to think the matter over before that time. - TO IMPROVE CAR LINE. "Woodstock Branch Will Be Rouble tracked Enstvrnrcl. It Is understood that the City & Sub urban Railway Company will redeem the promises made by Manager C. F. Swlgert to the Clinton Kelly Board of Trade and double-track the line between Grand ave nue and East Twenty-sixth street This Improvement "will affect the "Waverly-Richmond-Woodstock branch, and covers a distance of about two miles. Mr. Swl gert said that it is the Intention of the company to double-track the line from Grand avenue to East Twenty-sixth street on arrival of a shipload of. railroad Iron from Antwerp, which he said will reach this port In August In double-tracking this branch It Is pro posed to make a few changes In the line to do away with a number of curves. For example. It Is proposed to build directly east on Clinton street from East Twenty first to East Twenty-sixth, and then, In stead of making a curve and going about a block south the Richmond branch to take a direct easterly course to the end of the line. At present there are many curves in this line, which It Is desired to eliminate. If this change should be made, the present track In Richmond would be moved to Clinton street and extended, which would give a straight course to the end. The Woodstock branch will not be disturbed. The result of these changes will be to give a 10-mlnute sched ule over a portion of the route. NEW RURAL MAIL DISTRICT. Petition nnd Mnp From South Mounts Tabor nt "Wqshlnfcton.

TIME Multnomah Loiv Jinks a dlrttcrlner Snccess, The eighth annual "low jlpks" or out ing of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club took place at Oak Point yterday, there being about 150 membersresent. most of whom participated In the vari ous games of baseball and football that were played during the day. The enter tainment lasted all day, the first boat leaving Portland for the Point at 9:30 A. M.. and the last returninc nt r t xr It has been the custom of the club toT give one of these low Jinks annually for the last several years, generally in May or June, but for some unknown reason this year's outing was not brought to the notice of the board of directors in time to have It during the months men tioned., and it was only decided to have It a little over two weeks ago. Messrs. Buckenmeyer, McMlHen and Raley took the matter In charg6, and after a good deal of hard work succeeded In pulling off the entertainment yesterday. Most of the members went to the grounds on the first boat and proceeded to have as good a time as possible before lunch, playing" baseball, football, swim ming and sailing on the river. Three dif ferent games of ball were going on all the time, as fast as one member dropped out another taking his place, the teams playing with regular baseballs, basket balls and Indoor baseball's. When no bat ter showed up In the batsman's box the ball was thrown at the players, the one whq was hit the least number of times being considered as the winner of that particular game. Buckenmeyer. as catch er and first base, seemed to be the star .player of the day, everybody saying that there was no one like him, while J. R. Rogers, as shortstop, was short enough, all right but not so good on the stop. As no scores were kept it Is not known which team won the championship of the series, so it was awarded to all of them. Those who did not care to indulge In baseball tackled the foot variety and played on teams of about 20 on a side. Here, again, Buckenmeyer showed up as the favorite, and It Is confidentially as serted by those that ought to know that he will be a candidate for center on the regular Multnomah team this Fall. There was a championship tug-of-war between picked teams which had to be tugged for twice, as the first was declared a tie. (This because the contestants tied their respective ends to neighboring trees, thus preventing the other side from gain ing the required 10 feet) A little while before luncheon was ready Herbert Greenland announced that the tables were set, but when the crowd found that It was but a cruel Jest the perpetrator was tied securely to a tree and an attempt was made to tattoo him. but he resisted so vigorously that he was at last released on good behavior. Lunch was served with 135 places by Sargent, of the Arlington Club, who at tends to this part of the jinks every year, and all were loud In their praise of the good things that were furnished. Some of the more infantile members, such as State Representative Banks, Dr. Chance, Wickersham and Zan, resorted to the Interesting game of "nigger baby" for amusement, and after considerable playing Banks was declared "it," and as a punishment was ordered to run the gauntlet At this prospect for fun all within seeing distance, whether they had taken part In the game or not, hastened to the scene and prepared to 'help inflict the punishment for the heinous crime of being "it" The lawmaker saw what was coming, -and covered that part of his anatomy that was to come In contact with the sticks and clubs of the Impa tient throng with pieces of bark, so that the force of the descending weapons would be broken. Something was broken, but not the weapons. It will be several days before Banks gets the splinters of bark out of himself and his clothes. Thus the day was spent, and when the time for the homeward trip came all were sorry that the Jinks, had come to an end, and all were full of praise of those who had made it successful. QUIET IN LABOR CIRCLES Only Fnel Teamsters Maintain Ac Kressive Strike. AH is quiet in union circles, and, aside from an occasional remark concerning the amount of wood that is wasting daily as a result of the Banfleld-Veysey team sters' strike, and a word from some one who Is still dissatisfied with the stand that .the Plumbers' Union has taken, one would not know that there was any labor difficulty In Portland. In neither the strike nor the stand of the plumbers has there been any change for some time, nor do conditions Indicate that there will be any change In tho near future. Those concerned are content to let matters stand as they are. Tho plumbers are content to bo without tho aid of the Building Trades Council as long as they are able to draw $4 50 per day from their bosses as a result of the action that they have taken. The teamsters have managed to Induce most of the large concerns In the city not to use the Banfleld wood, and Bay that they are drawing a good strike benefit, and that they are willing to freeze it out with the company. "The company," they say, "Is losing a large amount dally, while we are not losing anything but our time, and are not l&slng all of that We have recently received word that the Interna tional union will help us In the fight, and that all of the funds that are needed will be furnished. We have Induced most of the large wood-users to boycott the Ban field wood, and, aside from the Portland Hotel, the Portland General Electric Company, the Holmes Ice Company and one or two others, there are none that are using the unfair wood. The sawmills are helping the Banfield company, but they are only Increasing the loss, for they are wasting a great amount of wood daily and are at a great expense to get the wood out of tho way." There have been a large number of cir culars printed declaring that the wood Is unfair and asking the people not to use the Banfleld-Veysey wood, and also set ting forth In large letters tho fact that the company repudiated their signature. Many, of the people to whom they stated the case were doubtful as to whether or not the company had really .signed tho agreement that they said thev had. Tn offset this, an exact likeness of the agree ment with air. Banfleld's signature, has been published In the Labor Press, to gether with the history of the trouble. The plumbers still are true to their agreement with their employers not to work for any one that Is not a member of the Master Plumbers' Association. They have been practically expelled from the Building Trades Council as the result of their stand, but their wages were raised to induce them to do this, and they say that the money Is better than the affiliation with the council. The nlanlne-mlll Ktrllti Is rr.ictliniiv a thing of the past While It has not and nrobablv will not be settled. th strikers are all at work at something else, and the mills are running with nonunion men. Roth parties have been Inconvenienced1 by the strike.

Henderson Has Nothing; to Fear From Llttlefleld Trnst Laws. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 27. "Hot air"- is a product of many Washington correspondents Just at this time. One of the latest is an arti cle quite generally printed to" the effect that Llttlefleld wilt be brought forward as the Administration's candidate for Speaker, and that In order to carry out the desires of the Administration in the matter of trusts, Llttlefleld Is necessary In the Speaker's chair. Probably nothing has been quite eo preposterous as this. It Is almost Impossible to defeat a Speaker for re-election as long, as his party re tains power. Reed was an example of this. He had quite a hard light for elec tion In the first place, but he had named men for chairmanships and placed others on committees who felt under obligations to him, and they could take care of them selves and their affairs a great deal bet ter by remaining where they were, for thgy were sure of advancement under Reed. If they opposed him and were not successful, they were likely to be thrown down. The same Is the case with Hen derson. He has placed enough men In good positions, who will be re-elected to the next House, to make his election as Speaker a certainty. But more than any thing else, the Administration will not In terfere in the affairs of the House to the extent of trying to elect a Speaker; and, besides, the Administration could get along a great deal better with a man like Henderson than with one like Llttlefleld. Llttlefleld agrees with the President on one point, perhaps; Henderson agrees with the Administration oiy almost all points. Llttlefleld will do all right as a lawyer to prepare bills regulating corpo rations, but he would not be In It as Speaker. In connection with the announcement that Llttlefleld Is about to wage war on the trusts In behalf of the Administra tion, It Is Interesting to note that the New York Sun, which Is an" ultra-Administration organ, has been abusing Llttle fleld ever since. Not downright abuse, but the Sun's peculiar ridicule Is being heaped upon him with the evident Inten tion of destroying his usefulness, If pos sible. This is not being done with the consent of the Administration, but it shows that a party organ like the Sun does not take much stock in the proposed onslaught on the trusts. FOR PRESIDENT. New Line Brought In by Denth of Mclvinley Fairbanks' Hopes. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. July 27. (Special.) Notwithstand ing the very general movemerit toward Roosevelt, and the continuous Indorse ment he is getting from all over the coun try, the friends of Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, are still hopeful that the New Yorker may not be a Presidential possi bility in 1904. There was not the least doubt that Fairbanks was an aspirant for the Presidency, and looked forward during McKlnley's life to being his successor, and he really hoped to have tho Influence of the Administration to help secure his nomination. McKlnley's death put a num ber of Presidential aspirants out of busi ness. Almost everybody thought that Fairbanks had disappeared, as well as Lodge, Spooner, -Foraker and Odell. As a matter of fact, he probably has disap peared, and It is only the Intense Indiana Idea that desires still to make him a Presidential candidate. Of course, should he become a candidate, Indiana would feel In dutv bound to support him." At the same time it Is not likely that he would receive that warm support ffrom his col league. Senator Eeverldge. that would make Indiana first, last and all the time for Its senior Senator. Beveridge himself has Presidential aspirations. He is the kind of a man that has absolute confi dence In himself, and believes that what he wants he will get. and the Presidency Is what he wants. Of course, he does not expect It In 1901, nnd perhaps not for a few years after that although It Is al most certain he will be a candidate for Roosevelt's successor If Roosevelt should bo elected and hold the office until 1903.
