Starves is Midst op Puhtt. Acts of
charity are commendable and among
these Is Included visiting the sick, at
proper times and from proper motives. A
rather well-known citizen who went to
some trouble to find time to visit a friend,
one who had befriended him. a few days
ago. tells what he considers a Joke on
himself. lie had taken pains to find out
that 2 P. M. would be a suitable time to
make his call on his sick friend, who was
to be driven out for an airing, on that
day. He had a number of things to at
tend to and in order to dispose of them,
did not go to lunch at noon, thinking that
he would Wave time to get some lunch
before taking tbe car to keep his ap
pointment. A little after 1 P. M. his
. "conscience-" reminded him that he needed
something to eat, and he rushed Into a
barroom where there Is usually a lino
lunch set out. only to be told that there
would be no lunch till evening. He rushed
to catch a car, not wishing to be late at
his friend's, and thinking that he would
not be expected to stay long and could
get lunch afterward. He arrived on time
and found his friend, who had Just re
turned from his airing, pleased to see
him. They chatted for an hour and then
his friend's lunch was brought in. which
the sick man enjoyed very much after
his drive and washed down with a glass
of beer. The -lsltor entertained the In
valid with conversation while he ate, and
the thought of what he would say and do
If he knew his visitor was faint with
hunger kept him laughing. Finally
he concluded that be had stayed as long
as the law allowed, and, taking his leave,
made direct for an eating-house and ord
ered a luncheon, which he devoured
ravenously, all the time laughing to think
what his friend would say when told of
the circumstance.
Object to Having Trees Killed. Tne
girdling of 16 handsome young elm trec
In front of the Bishop Scott Grammar
School property on Everett street, by city
employes, because It was found that the
roots of some of those trees had sent
rootlets Into the sewer and obstructed It
Is likely to bring a swarm of bees buzzing
about the ears of the overhasty men who
girdled the trees. The owners of the
property are the members of the Epis
copal Church, and many of them arc
very much put out by tho killing of the
trees. They say that there waa no neces
sity for this action and will request the
authorities to see that the sewers are
better constructed; that the Joints in the
pipes are properly cemented and made
tight, instead of being filled with mud eo
that they leak. "When a sewer-pipe leaks
the roots of trees naturally reach out for
the moist earth around tbe leaks, and so
find their way into the sewer. It is not
the treM nor the property-owners who
pay for the sewern. who are to blame, and
aiicr puiuug in jeaxy sewers
has no right to destroy the trees of the
property-owners. All these things and
many more which have not before been
advanced, in regard to the construction of
sewers, are now being presented by the
owners of the murdered trees, and there Is
trouble ahead for someone. The trees were
,such fine ones, and the location so favor
able. In respect to Interference of electric
wires that the "trees might have been al
lowed to grow for a time at least, so the
owners say. As a very large number of
eewers are to be constructed this season,
the city officials may try to see If they
cannot be constructed without any leaks
In them and so prevent "such trouble tbout
trees In tho future.
Sells Squashes ron. $30 a Ton. A lucky
farmer, who planted a large patch of
Hubbard. squashes last Summer, yester
day hauled In a ton and a half of them, in
good condition, and received $30 a ton for
them. He has a lot more for which he
will receive as much. It can be imagined
that he was happy and was making
money, when it is known that in the
Fall such squashes are sold to consumers
for $7 and ,$S per ton, and that they sell
through the "Winter fo rabout $30 per ton.
Now that potatoes are not high and onions
are very low. It Is a good thing to have a
lot of squashes to sell at $20 per ton.
This fanner collected a lot of seeds from
the largest squashes to sell to eeedmen.
He cut a hole In the squash, extracted the
seeds and then sold the squashes, which
were as good as ever, for a while, at a
sllghUy reduced rate. Farmers who have
places in the vicinity of Portland may
easily make money by raising an assort
ment of garden truck, potatoes, cabbage
squashes, turnips or anything In this line!
If one thing Is cheap, another brings a
good price. So the fanner should raise a
variety and be prepared to catch the con
sumers "a comln' and a swine." "
Blizzards "Will Bb Over Thex
Postmaster Bancroft

yet assumed the duties of his office, has
wuo.m.b wwunj iu mm. lie was yester
day asked why the O. B, & N. trains
have been three or four hours behind time
every day for a month or two, so that
mall which should be delivered one day
Is not received until the next. He said
he did not understand that this was the
case. He knew that the overland route
had been rendered -very difficult by bliz
zards and that malls had been arriving a
day late and sometimes two or three days
late, but he thought the best possible
service under the circumstances was be
ing rendered. By the time he Is In office
he hopes blizzards for the season will be
done with, and he will have no trouble
from them.
Modern Scroical Appliances. A lot of
furniture for a local sanitarium was seen
on the sidewalk In front of a plumbing
shop yesterday. One thing was an operat
ing table of Iron on rubber-tired wheels,
it can be wheeled alongside of the bed of
the patient to be operated on. who can be
transferred to It, rolled into the operating
pom, and when attended to. rolled back
to his bed, thus being put to as little
trouble or pain In the matter of being
raoved as Is possible. There was also an

ROST-ClIEEKED APPLES DECEIVE A
Buter. A villain with a smiling cheek, a
goodly apple "wormy" at the core, arc not
new things, but are the cause of this
paragraph. A man ordered a box of
Northern Spy apples from his grocer, who
expected some before long, price $1.75. He
thought the price steep, and when further
down the street he saw a box of hand
some red-cheeked pippins for $L23, and
was told that they were excellent cooking
apples, he bought the box oft hand to
last till the Northern Spies came. When
he reached homo he found that In pre
paring tho red-cheeked pippins for cook
ing It was discovered that every one was
wormy." He had not asked the dealer
If they were wormy, so no lies had been
told, but when he buys cheap apples
again he will examine them, he says, and
see If they are wormy. One of the best of
all cooking apples Is the Northern Spy,
but it only keeps till about March L The
best of all from January to April Is the
Tellow Newtown. The last of the North
ern Spies will be "In market soon, but by
and by there will be Tellow Newtons com
ing in from the foothills of Mount Hood,
which will make one's mouth water to
look at them. Ben Davis apples, often
under other" names, an "Oregon Reds,"
etc, are frequently offered In place of
Northern Spy at this season, but Is a
much Inferior apple, though a bet
ter keep. It Is a dry, tasteless
apple, but some consider It good
for baking and hotels often buy It
In large lots for thto purpose. There arc
so many varieties of apples that buyers
are confused and hanlly know which to
select. Orchardlsts. however, place the
Tellow Newtown and the Northern Spy
at the head of tbe list. One man In
Southern Oregon Is getting ready to plant
an orchard of 400 acres of Tellow New
towns alone. Growers now pack their
sound and wormy apples in separate
boxes, and people buying apples should
take care to know which kind they aro
getting.
Mant Permits for Sidewalks. Tho
provisions in the new charter in regard to
a notice posted on property directing the
owner to construct a new sidewalk in
front thereof. Is working like a charm
Many such notices have been posted and
property-owners notified thereby are
tumbling o-er one another to apply at the
City Engineer's offlce to obtain permits
or to get an extension of time in which
to complete their sidewalks. The new law
has put new life Into them. A case show
ing the value of this law occurred yester
day. Application was made to the City
Engineer to cause a new walk to be laid
In front of the quarter block on the south
east corner of Seventh and Morrison.
There is a woodyard In one corner of this
property and wood teams have been haul
ing loads over the walk on the Seventh-
street front all winter till It was com
pletely worn out. H. P. Sanborn, who has
charge of the J. P. Fisher property ad
Joining, has been at much trouble In keep
ing the walk in condition so that people
could get past tho woodyard, and finally
had to lay a row of planks all along In
front of the quarter block, which Is owned
by a nonresident Pratt, tbe husband of
Emma Abbott. Mr. Sanborn desires that a
proper sidewalk be laid there and ho re
lieved from looking after It. but he had
little hope of being able to get this done
In any reasonable time. He applied to City
Engineer Elliott, who at once ordered a no
tice requiring a new cement walk to be
posted on the Pratt property, and the
walk will bo built at once or the city will
build it and take a Hen on the property for
ine cose
Estimates Not Too Low. City Engineer
Elliott, when asked yesterday what he
had to say In regard to the Ideas of con-
trsirtnrs In rofo .vl tn i to Mo.tmn.Ad
... - 1 (1 . - -hillUL(( 1U1
sewers being too low, smiled blandly
ana saia ne mougnt tney were mis
taken. He exhibited an estimate on a
$5000 sewer as a sample. It showed that
of the $5000 which the sewer was to cost,
$400 went for sewer pipe, branches, etc,
which contractors purchased In open
market and one could get as low as an
other. He knew labor was higher than
It lsed to be. but a fair margin of 10 per
cent for profit was allowed on the total
cost of the sewer, and a little change In
the cost of labor In the estimates would
not cut much figure In the general result.
As to combinations being formed by con
tractors to raise prices, there Is always
room for suspicion, especially when in
case first bids are rejected much lower
bids are submitted the second time. The
bids on four sewers were rejected some
time ago, and when second bids were
called for. those for three small sewers
were $400 less than the first bids. When
the material for sewers forms four-fifths
the whole cost, the contractors might try
to get prices of pipe and branches low
ered. A property-owner who wanted a
lot of earth removed said one contractor
thought he could do It for IS cents a yard,
but several other contractors asked 30
cents. The property-owner thought there
was collusion and was thinking of getting
some wheeled scrapers and doing the work
himself.
Died From Heart Disease. Mrs. Anna
Marsterson, aged 55 years, died suddenly
at her home, at Eleventh and East Oak
streets about 8 o'clock last night from the
effects of heart failure." During the day
yesterday she was able to be around but
complained of pain" In her breast. After
dinner yesterday evening she lay down
on the bed and shortly before 8 o'clock
her two daughters, who were In an ad
Joining room, heard her pitch from her
bed to the floor. Rushing In to find what
was the matter they found their mother
lying apparently lifeless and hurriedly
summoned a physician. Dr. Ambrose
Johnson waa called, but by the time he
had arrived no traces of life were found.
The heart had stopped beating and res
piration had ceased. Coroner Flnley was
notified at once and will take the body
In' charge. Mrs. Marsterson was a widow,
and two daughters and a son survive her.
J. C. Wilson Is Found.-J. a Wilson,
freight clerk for the Oregon City Trans
portation Company, whose mysterious
disappearance from Seattle a short time
ago caused his friends so much alarm, has
been found. A telegram received by
Captain A. B. Graham, under whom Wilson
worked, states that the missing man Is
In Centralis, Wash., and will be back In
Portland In a short time. He has been
sick In Seattle and has not been able to
communicate with his friends.
Taxes Abb Beino Paid. Taxes are
coming Into the County Treasurer's office
rapidly, and many of the large taxpayers
have applied for statements and will pay
before March 15 so as to obtain the 3 per
cent rebate Last year the bulk of the
taxes were paid by March 15. and indica
tions are that the same thing will happen
this year. A night force Is employed to
make statements and to check the col
lections made during the day.
Seventh-street Lot Sols. Herman
Enke. proprietor of the City Steam Clean
ing and Dyeing Works, bought & lot on
the west side of Seventh, between Oak
and Ankeny strets, for $10,000 yesterday
afternoon. Russell & Blythe were the
former owners of the lot. It Is the In
tention of the purchaser to put up a much
larger plant than he now occupies on
Sixth street and will begin construction
within a few weeks.

Where to Put Obanoe Peelings. A
well-known citizen was seen yesterday
walking up Washington street peeling an
orange as he went along. He- retained
the Decline In his hand and when It was
all off ho stopped and pushed the whole
down through a grating in tne siaewauc
"That Is a queer thing to do." remarked
a friend who had Just come up. "It Is
contrary to law to throw such refuse In
the street." was the answer, "and I pre
ferred to nut It down the grating where
there Is plenty of waste paper, etc, rather
than to violate the law." "That may be a
proper' thing to do, but I doubt that the
occupant of the building would approve
of It." They walked along, and the man
tore the orange Into quarters and sucked
the Juice from them ejecting the tissues
and seeds Into his left hand. When this
Job was done he looked around for somo
place to put the tissues ana seeing a
farmers wagon standing by mo euro.
extended his arm and dropped them Into
the wagon. The farmer, who was stand
ing near, noticed the maneuver and look
ing Into tho wagon discovered the deposit.
He at once took the depositor to task,
asking him what he meant by such a con
temptible trick. Explanation or apology
was useless, the farmer felt Insulted and
said so in terms that attracted the atten
tion of all in the vicinity. The law-abiding
citizen remarked to his friend as they
walked off: "I am glad I was not caught
pushing the peeling Into the cellar-way.
and I guess that In future when I eat
fruit on the street I will throw the refuse
In the gutter as others do.
Looking- tor Franchise Owners.
Owners of franchises In the City of Port
land are required by rrctlon 110 of the
city charter to file full and correct state
ments of the rights, privileges and fran
chises owned by them, with the City Aud
itor within SO days after the charter went
into effect on January 23, and must design
nate the same by the number or title of
the ordinance by which such franchises
were granted. Auditor Devlin Is endeav
oring to give notice to all owners of such
franchises to comply with this require
ment, but fears ho cannot reach them all
as so many 'franchises have changed
owners without any record of the change
having been made. The attention of all
owners of franchises Is called to section
110 of the new charter, which It Is im
portant that they should comply with.
Following Is the greater part of the sec
tion: "The owner of every such franchise,
and the grantee of franchises hereafter
granted, on sale, transfer, mortgage or
lease being made of such franchise, shall
within five days thereafter file with the
Auditor a copy of the deed, agreement,
mortgage, lease or other written Instru
ment evidencing such sale, transfer or
lease, certified and sworn to as correct
by the grantee, in person, If an Individual,
or by the president or secretary If a cor
poration, and every sale, transfer, mort
gage or lease of such franchise, whether
voluntary or involuntary, shall be deemed
void and of no effect unlera the grantee
shall within five days after the same shall
have been made, file, such certified copy as
required by this section."
Will Test the Matter. The City
License Department has determined to
have all who are delinquent In tho matter
or paying occupation licenses brought to
time. A number of the delinquents have
been arrested and now the East Bide
Bank, the most persistent of delinquents.
Is to be taken In hand. All the other
banks In the city havo been paying their
licenses, but tho East Side Bank has not
once paid a license in the two and a half
years the ordinance has been In force. Tho
manager declines to pay a license for his
bank, on the ground that he pays an In
surance business license and so far has
carried his point, but now the authorities
have decided to contest the matter with
him. They say It is not right that all
other banks should pay license and this
one escape.
New Barbers Examined. Tho State
Board of Barber Examiners held one more
session yesterday for the benefit of appli
cants for barbers' licenses. The exami
nation was given at 22) Burnside street
and the shop secured for the purpose was
crowded throughout the day. Plenty of
willing patrons presented themselves for
the free shave and haircut furnished, but
not all the candidates for licenses were
able to have a trial. The examination
will therefore be continued today. Under
the new law the board has far mora
definite and comprehensive powers, and
it is understood that one or two notorious
shops of the North End are likely to be
closed unless more strict compliance with
the board's sanitation rules Is had.
To Discuss Home Economics, Tho
meeting ot the Woman's Club Friday af

TABLES TURNED ON MILLER
Has D. Ilarrld Arreiited for Assault
and Is ntmself Arrested.
A complaint made by A. W. Miller
against D. Harris for assault and battery
acted as a boomerang yesterday In Jus
tice of the Peace Reld's court, and be
fore the trial was over the Judge ordered
the Prosecuting Attorney to file counter
charges against tho prosecuting witness
and signified his willingness to fine him
more than he did the defendant. Both
the men brought their families along to
act as witness, and the' greater part of
the forenoon was taken up with the trial.
The scene of all the trouble was Tremont
station.
"I was standing on the street when the
defendant came up and struck me," said
Miller, as he took tho stand. "No words
were passed between us before he struck
me." At this the Judge looked suspicious,
but made no reply.
Later evidence showed that Miller had
sbeen tbe aggressor In the fight. He had
called Harris across the street, and say
ing, "I can lick you; Mr. Blank did, and
I can do the same thing," started to prove
bis statement. He was soon up against a
snag, however, for he had more than his
match, and carried away a very much
disfigured face. Harris was fined $10, and
only the Judge knows what Miller's fine is
to be.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.

"The Great Diamond Robbery" Is mak

people. The love story which runs
throughout this powerful melodrama en
dears it to the romantic and sentimental;
the work of tho detective appeals to the
strong-minded; the politics Involved
pleases the politicians; the tussle In the
fourth act Interests the sportsmen; In fact,
this play cannot help but Interest all
classes of people. It can bo considered as
one of the season's greatest successes.
George Allison as Dick B rummage, the de
tective, covers himself with glory In "The
Great Diamond Robbery." His various
disguises especially appeal to the rising
generation. "Say. he's great. He's bet
tern Nick Carter or Old Sleuth." one
young enthusiast was heard to remark.
In this play Mr. Allison shows that he has
full control of his voice. He makes an
exhibition ot what the great detective
should be. "The Great Diamond Robbery"
will be on the boards for the rest of the
week, with Saturday matinee.

his play. "The Auctioneer." Tou shall
now have a chance to see Mr. Sam Morris
in his careful study of Moses Levi. In
the four-act comedy drama. "The Ped
dler's Claim." Mr. Morris, like Mr. War
field, gives to the stage the Hebrew as he
really Is. Although one cannot compare
the style of acting of Warfleld with that
of Morris, as one Is an old man class ot
character acting while the other Is all
smiles and laughs, the latter style Is the

tion WltU Flaoltaialiiir.
It Is expected that the new Lents School
house will be finished and ready for occu
pany by Monday morning. It Is a. four
room building. Two rooms on the lower
floor will be occupied, but the two upper
rooms will not be finished at present.
Since the old building was destroyed by
fire school his been conducted In the pub
lic hall under great difficulties, but It was
the only building available.
Next Thursday the patrons of tho school
will hold a celebration In the new build
ing. Luncheon will be served at noon,
and In the afternoon a programme will
be rendered. County School Superintend
ent mson will talk to the people, and
there will be music and other exercises.
One of the features of the celebration
will be a flag-raising. Mrs. L. II. Addl
ton, who was recently elected a director,
says the school must have a flag. She
was looking over some flags yesterday
and ascertaining their cost. The flag will
be raised over the new building as pirt
of the celebration. Mrs. Addlton also
says the building must bo provided with
a library. The new school Is a credit to
the district, and will answer for several
years to come. This Is one Instance In
which the Are last year was really a
good thing for the community. A mod
ern schoolhouse has been built In pi ice
of a small, poorly arranged structure.
