"Wht Shade Trees Decat. One of the
handsomest locust trees on the North
Plaza block was removed yesterday. The
Kale of Tuesday blew It partially over,
and It was decided best to remove It. In
digging around it. it was found that the
roots on the south side were decayed and
useless as any support for the tree. Just
what caused the decay of these roots Is
not known, as the concrete waiK across
the block is some distance away. The
largest locust tree on the Courthouse
grounds, near by, will be a thing of the
past soon. The limbs have all been cut
off, or the late gale would probably have
blown it down, for it is hollow and de
cayed, and a sturdy youngr maple nearly
three inches in diameter Is growing from
the main fork, sending Its roots down
throuch the decayed matter in the trunk
to the ground. It is quite a botanical cu
riosity, but the old tree has not long to
stand. Those who demand that shade
trees on the streets should be spared
must remember that when they have at
tained their growth and have had their
limbs hacked off to protect electric wires.
decay soon sets in, and time soon brings
the end. The greatest care that affection
for old favorites can cause to be taken
Is powerless to arrest this decay, as Is
shown by the gaps in the row of old
elms around the Ladd homestead and the
missing trees on the grounds of H. "IV.
Corbett. Those who would have shade
trees on the streets must renew them
once or twice in a generation, and not
allow them to be mangled and driven to
decay.
Spring X.amb Arrives. Yesterday
dawned one of the most dreary, chilly
and cheerless days of the season. The
snow which fell Tuesday night and had
whitened the ground for nearly a whole
day had disappeared from the streets, but
lingered In patches on the hills back of
town. The puddles on the streets were
frozen almost strong enough to skate on.
and the dense fog had formed a hoar
frost, which covered the early flowers and
tender shoots on the rosebushes, causing
them to look hoary with age. Behind the
gloomy clouds the sun was shining, how
ever, and by noon It had thawed a pas
sage through and made everybody look
smiling and happy. Further to cheer peo
ple and show that Spring Is not far away.
the first Spring lamb of the season, a
little In advance of schedule time, put in
an appearance, a whole wagon-load of
them, and very fine ones, too, being de
livered at a Fourth-street market. They
came in tho nick of time, as the markets
are bare of nearly all kinds of delicacies
The lambs were raised by a farmer near
Middleton, who doubtless received a fine
price for them, and those who are lucky
enough to get a quarter of one of them
will doubtless pay well for It. They will
hardly cost 75 cents per pound, which was
tho price paid for the first smelt of tho
season, but they will doubtless cost as
much as the first chlnook of the season
did.
Demand for Flats. Tho house at the
southwest corner of Third and Harrison
streets, long the residence of S. M. Barr,
is in process of being moved. The prop
erty was bought some months ago by
G. II. Ray, proprietor of the drug store
in the Arlington block, opposite. He is
having the house turned round to front
on Harrison street, and will land it on
the west end of the lot and give it a
the rough overhauling and renovating. He
will then build a two-story building of
25-feet front on the east end of the lot,
fronting on Third street, with a room to
accommodate his drug store on the
ground floor and a flat above. A num
ber of flats have been built of late, and
more are being erected in that district.
On the quarter-block at the northeast
corner of Clay and Fourth streets, J. B.
Harris has three buildings. of two flats
each, and on the adjoining property John
Donncrberg has cleared away two old
shacks and Is preparing to build two
houses of two flats each. At the north
cast corner of Fourth and Columbia
streets three houses of two flats each are
be'ng plastered, and will soon be ready
for occupancy.
Sewer Stopped Up. An obstruction in
the old sewer in Alder street rendered it
necessary to break through the asphalt
pavement at the corner of Third and
Alder streets yesterday and sink a shaft
down to the old sewer on tho south side
of Alder street, whlclj only extends from
the river to Fifth street. By tying enough
rods together to reach from below Sec
ond street to the west side, of Third
street, a distance of 2S0 feet, it was as
certained that the obstruction was at the
junction of a side sewer coming In from
up Third street, and so the shaft was
sunk so as to come down on top of It.
Just what caused the obstruction is not
known, but it was not the roots of shade
trees on this occasion, for there is not a
shade tree within a long distance. But
the obstruction was well anchored, as it
had backed up the sewage in a manhole
on Alder street to a depth of seven feet.
When it was started it went out with a
rush.
New Cars for Citt & Suburban'. Tho
City & Suburban Railway Company has
just finished four fine new closed cars at
the Savler-street shops, which aro now
about ready to go out on tho runs. These
cars are of the same general type as the
other closed cars of tho company, and
aro ruirbered 125 to 12S, inclusive. All the
largo open cars have been overhauled and
repainted for tho Summer, and, in addi
tion, six now ones are under construction.
These will be finished in a short time, and
work will be commenced on more, so that
the company will have about 15 new cars
at tho opening of the Summer. Owing to
the demand for better scrvico on the vari
ous lines, it is very hard to furnish
enough rolling stock, and a largo force
of men is kept at work in the building
shops. During the past three years the
company has constructed about 50 new
cars, all of the large double-truck type.
Elks Heads for Citt Hali Two
beautiful elks' heads will hereafter adorn
the southern wall of tho City Auditor's
office. They have been presented by Colo
nel Milton TV. Weldler, secretary of the
Board of Fire Commissioners, to whom
they were given by a Tillamook hunter
some ten years ago. Both heads arc well
incunted and the antlers are almost per
fect, both having six prongs. The heads
win bo hung on either side of the clock,
and tho stare of their glassy eyes will
gtvet any one entering the doors.

men are now- engaged in putting up the
brickwork for the seventh and top story
of the new Weinhard building, at Fourth
and Oak streets. All the window frames
are in place, and the brickwork will be
completed in a very few days, provided
the weather continues fair. When the
building was first planned it was thought
that four stories would be sufficient, as
it had a very large floor area, a half
block, 200x100 feet. The prospective ten
ants, however, asked that the building
be made six stories, which was done.
After the sixth floor had been put on and
tha cornice finished, another floor waa
demanded, so that now the top story is
above the cornice, and makes the build
ing look a little queer at first, though
the appearance is not at all objection
able. It is thought that after the first
building is a little further advanced work
will be commenced on another of the
same size -on the north half of the lot,
making the whole structure 300 feet
square. It is probable that the other half
will also be seven stories high when it la
finished.
When Morrison Street Will Be
Fixed. The proprietor of one of the prin
cipal stores on Morrison, who received a
call from a Chicago friend yesterday, was
somewhat annoyed to notice his visitor
standing staring out at the -street in front
for some time and then to have him turn
and say: "Your store looks very nice,
but the street in front does not corre
spond." It is only fair to say that, if it
is possible for any one part of Morrison
street below Third street to be worse
than all the other parts, the part In
front of the. store In question Is about the
wcrst of all. "Do you have any idea
when they are going to fix up Morrison
street?" asked the proprietor plaintively
of a reporter yesterday. "That Is one of
the things past all finding out," was the
reply, "but, as the city has been tearing
up and destroying tho pavement and
making it worse till the officials must be
about exhausted, it is likely that the
property-owners will soon make a move
toward repaving It. They will have to
pay for It. and can have It paved any
time they get really anxious to do so."
Smelt More Expensive. "Give me
three pounds of those smelt," said a cit
izen to the clerk in a fish market yester
day. The fish were weighed and wrapped
up, and the customer threw down a 10
cent piece. "That is not enough," said
the clerk. "You had them marked three
pounds for 10 cents yesterday." said the
buyer. "Smelt has riz," replied the clerk.
"They now cost 5 cents per pound. They
have gone right up into the air," he con
tinued. "What is the cause of this un
usual rise so late in the season?" "Well,
It is in sympathy with the rise in the
Cowlitz, which Is on a rampage and over
flowing the country. This has washed all
the smelt back Into the Columbia, and it
Is hard work to catch them." The cus
tomer looked around at a stack of frozen
salmon, piled like cordwood on the side
walk, and promptly decided that he didn't
want any salmon, so threw down the ad
ditional 5 cents and marched off with his
smelt. "Fish is fish these days," re
marked the clerk, "and people must pay
for them, but they are not so dear as
turkey at 25 cents per pound."
Display Interest in Marbles. Two
boys playing a game of marbles on Alder
street yesterday afternoon attracted a
crowd of more than 20 persons. There
were 13 grown men, one a learned doctor
(not of divinity), with a flowing gray
beard and silk hat, seven half-grown
larraklns and a lot of small boys. Includ
ing a messenger boy with a big bouquet
of lilies of the valley, who, with the flow
ers crushed under his arm, jammed Into
the crowd. All were watching the game
with interest, but keeping out of the way.
of the players, who were "bowling" large
marbles at a cluster of small ones, and
knocking them "galley west." A seeker
after knowledge asked half the crowd
what particular game of marbles the
boys were playing, but not one of them
knew. He finally ascertained from one
of the players that it was "kill fat." Just
why so many who knew nothing about
the game were so interested in it is one
of the things which no fellow can find
out.
Barbers Coming to Portland. To aid
the State Board of Barber Examiners In
the work of preparing new regulations
governing barber shops of the state, dele
gates from barbers' unions all over Ore- ;
gon will meet with tho board at its ex
amination Monday. Tho board has Is
sued invitations to the delegates, together
with printed matter, as to what is ex
pected of them at the conference, and
they will come Monday full of suggestions
as to how the sanitary conditions in the
tcr-sorlal trade may bo Improved and reg
ulations adopted enforcing cleanliness
and good sanitation. How many outside
barbers will avail themselves of the op
portunity to better the class of men en- j
goged In their trade is unknown, but tho
conference will probably be well attended.
Building Mat Fall Down. Men were
placing props along the north side of the I
building at 189 Third street yesterday
to keep It from falling over until an
other can be built alongside of it. The
excavation being made on the adjoining
lot xor tne foundations of Mr. Shapiro's
restaurant nave undermined the founda
tlon of No. 1S9, which is an old frame
house, elevated, with a story built un
der. The brick foundation wall of this
building Is only about a foot deep, and, as
the excavation alongside Is about two
feet deep, the earth Is being forced out
from under the foundation. The sills
laid in the brick wall and over the floor
Joists resting on them are badly decaved.

Specimens of Oreoon Building Stone.
Edwin Stone, general manager of the
Corvauis & .Eastern Railway Comnanv.
has presented the Board of Trade with
two very nne specimens of Oregon build
ing stone, taken from quarries alonjr the
route of his railroad. The specimens are
cube-snapea, one being of granite and the
other of sandstone. The sandstone is
from the same quarry as that used In the
construction of tho Call building in San
Francisco, and the granite has been t re
nounced by a local expert as being equal
in every respect to tne iamous Vermont
and New Hampshire granite. The speci
mens aro on exhibition in the Mining Ex

Government Dredge Sank. Govern
ment dipper dredge No. 1, which has been
aomg good work on the Improvement of

surprised the crew by filling and sinking
last Sunday, has been raised, and was
brought up to the Government moorings
In the lower harbor Wednesday eveninc-.
It was found on examination that she had
been snagged by one of her spuds. One
of the streaks or planks on her side had
been badly chafed and finally gave way.

ing else for her to do but to sink. The
damage Is not serious and will be re
paired, and tho dredge be back at work
In a short time.

Beatrice Marie Drofnah
Shakespeare's delightful comedy, "Much
Ado About Nothing," was given last night
at the Marquam Grand Theater by Charles
B. Hanford and his excellent company. In
cluding Marie Drofnah. and the presenta
tion was quite an artistic success, except
ing that Mr. Hanford suffered tmporarlly
from the effects of a bad cold, and his
articulation was not so clear as usual.
He caught cold at Tacoraa, last Sunday,
and should nbt have appeared last night,
but did not wish to disappoint his audi
ence. The comedy was finely mounted,
and tho first scene. Illustrating Leonato's
garden, was very pretty, with Its waving
trees and flowers. About one year ago
Mr. Hanford played In this city, when he
gave "The Taming of the Shrew," and
made a good Impression as a skillful and
resourceful actor.
The characters of Benedick and Beatrice
will live as long as the English language
lasts. In Shakespeare's day tHey were
favorites, along with Falstaft and Mal
volio, and filled pit, gallery and boxes
with admirers, when Ben Johnson's com
edies frequently did not pay for the cost
of Are or doorkeeper. Last night, Mr.
Hanford and Miss Marie Drofnah looked
tho parts to the life. The text says that
Beatrice, Leonato's niece, was bom under
a dancing star, "only created to speak all
mirth and no matter," and Miss Drofnah
lent tne necessary keen wit. biting sar
casm and sharp-edged words which give
life and being to the creation. No won
der Benedick (Mr. Hanford) fought shy
of meeting her at first. He came on the
stage with a splendid make-up as the
young gentleman from Padua, with a stift
beard and ill-fitting clothes, as befitting a
man who scorned all women and rejoiced
In his bachelor freedom. When he fell in
love with Beatrice, however, he cleverly
adapted himself to his new mood, and not
only shaved off his beard, but wore a
dazzling 'doublet, and placed an Insinuat
ing perfume on his handkerchief. Fred
Hight was amusing as Dogberry.
Stuart R. Beebe as Don John, the mischief-maker,
was not hateful enough, and
would have been better If he had been
cynical or sardonic. Shakespeare once
wrote, in "Lear." about tho voice of one
"ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent
thing in woman." This was charmingly
Illustrated last night by Rose Curry, as
Hero, daughter of Leonato, and she gave
a fine portraiture of retiring feminine
modesty. There was a good audience, and
several curtain recalls. The company
leaves here for San Francisco.

Spokane MUliuen'a Troubles.
SPOKANE, Wash., March 12. A fight
is now on between the Mlllworkers union,
of this city, and the sawmills, which
may result In a serious complication be
tween these two organizations, but which
now appears only to be a walk-out on the
part of two men over at the Washington
mill and the discharge of different turners
from the different mills of the city, where
the Washington people went to have their
turning done. As far as could be learned
all of the mills of the city that are now in
the association, composed of the milling
men, were asked to take the work of the
Washington Mill Company, and that only
one of them was able to handle this, as
that mill has their foreman do the turning.
and as he was not connected with the
union, had no objections to doing it In
all of the other mills It is understood
that when the turners refused to do this
work their employers told them that they
would have to go.
Will Ask Change of Venae.
BAKER CITY, March 12. (Special.)
George J. Bentley, counsel for Pleas Arm
strong, the murderer of Minnie Ensmlng'er,
annoupces that he will move the court
for a change of venue when the case
comes up for trial on March 23. Such a
move was to be expected after the futile
attempt of the mob to lynch Armstrong.
Tho District Attorney will oppose the
proposition, and it Is by no means certain
that the court will grant the motion for a
change of venue. The prejudice against
Armstrong Is confined to the people of
Haines and vicinity, where Miss Ens
mlnger lived. Outside of this community
there is no doubt that a fair and Impar
tial jury can be found In this county to try
the case. The mass of the people of Ba
ker County are law-abiding citizens and
do not approve of mob law. The better
element of the citizens of Haines deplore
the attempt to lynch Armstrong.
