TOM LEWISTON INSANE.
Downfall of a 3Ian Once Prosperous
and Prominent.
Lawsuits and whisky have caused the
downfall ot Tom Lewlston.
Old residents can remember when he
was one of Portland's most prosperous
citizens. Yesterday he was taken to the
County Jail on a charge of Insanity. His
clothes were torn and ragged, bis hair
dishevelled, and no friend asked concern
ing his welfare. He was found yesterday
morning near Cedar Mills by a farmer
who was driving to the city. An insane
fit had rendered him helpless, and he was
lying In a pooi of muddy water.
Lewis ton's parents came to Portland
when It had but started to grow. They
started the International Hotel, and made
a small fortune in their business. When
the parents died they left the property
in the nanus of the three children George
and Tom Lewlston and a daughter, who
bad married Walter HIggtna.
The will was an obscure document, and.
Instead of working for each other's In
terests, tbe heirs appealed to tbe law for
a division of property. For several years
their family differences were aired In the
courts of Justice, and before an adjust
ment was reached a gocd portion of the
fortune left them had been spent.
Tom Lewlston, as the story Is told by
the Deople wbo remember the circum
stances, was not satisfied with the final
settlement und commenced to drink. He
was always ot a whole-souled disposition
and spent his money as If he had unlimit
ed fuuds to draw upon. His funds were
not unlimited, however, and in a few
years he found himself a common labor
ing man. wbo had to do odd Jobs for a
living. His training In the hotel business
had fitted him for hotel work, and he held
positions with a number of tbe hotels.
For many years he was a runner for the
Union House, but finally lost his position
on account of drink.
Thrown out of a position, he only drank
more heavily. He had many friends, and
none of the saloon men who had known
him would refuse him a drink. He baa a
tronc constitution, and stood tbe dissipa
tion for a surprisingly long time, but was
finally overcome. His mind first gave
wnv under the strain, and for some
months It has been whispered that Tom
Lewlston was going crazy. v hen ne was
found yesterday the officers felt that it
would be charitable to the suffering man
to send him to the asylum to be carea
for.
The farmer who found mm ma not
leave his name.
T saw that he was in neea oi neip.
sa- the farmer, "and so brought him to
the city. I first took him to the County
Jail, but the authorities there would not
accept bin. They saia mat I wouio nave
to make a complaint against him. I had
no complaint to make. I only brought
him in because I thought he should be
cared for."
at h nonce station tne omcers anew
Lewlston as soon as he was brought In,
and gave him the best of care.
NEW HOTEL NEEDED.
Portland Lacks Facilities to Care
for Visitors to viy.
"Within three months." said a hotel
man yesterday, "the hotel facilities oi
Portland wlU be entirely Inadequate. 'Al
ready the city has outgrown Its hotels."
The Lewis na tiam uumu cuuio
.v. nf Increased hotel facilities so
urgent that it has Instructed Its commit
tee on ways and means to investigate the
matter. .
What Portland needs above all other
imnrnvements Is a large new, moderate-
nriced hotel. Wide-awake citizens are
aware of this requirement, and several
h.n been contemDlaung tne erection oi
a building such as would be suitable for
Portland now has hotel accommodations
for nerhans 3000 visitors. The city has
lodging-houses of varying degrees of re-
xnectabllltv for prooaDiy auj more, a no
best of the hotels enjoy a business close
up to the limit of their capacity. One
or two of them have had to turn away
visitors In the cast few weekst
The approach of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial makes one or more hotels ab
solutely necessary. Even now, if an un
usual number of visitors should come to
this city, they could not be received at
the best hotels. Next January the Na
tional Livestock Association will hold Its
annual session In Portland. The conven
tion will bring between 30M and S"X) vis
itors to this city. But what win l'ort
land do with them. If it does not have
more hotels?
Portland has six leading hotels, the
names and capacity of which are as fol
lows:
Rooms. People.

Three other large hotels the New Grand
Central, the Merchants Hotel and the
Qulmby have altogether about 330 rooms.
which are sufficient for over K people.
A hotel such as- Portland needs," said
a man yesterday who Is In the business,
"would cost about 5300.000. It would
cover a block of ground and would be
five xr six stories high. buch a note!
would contain about 400 rooms, and would
accommodate between CM and TOO people.
It would be a paying investment, because
It would draw largely from the business
of the present moderate-priced hotels on
account of its newness. it itmn a -year
Portland will supply enough business for
a large hotel such as I mention.
Apartment-bouses are regarded as very
good property. Three or four-room apart
ments to rent at an average of CO each
are regarded as good property. Several
projects for such bouses are under con
templation.

WORK ON MORE STREETS
COUNCIL ORDERS A X UMBER OET IM
PROVEMENTS. Xevr Surveyors for Cltr Engineer
Remonstrances Aftalnst Street
Improvements.
The postponed Council meeting yester
day morning was a very quiet affair, and
with the exception of granting the City
Engineer another gang of surveyors, the
work done was purely, of a routine nature.
Several remonstrances against proposed
street Improvements were received, a
number of new streets were ordered im
proved, and another step was taken in the
proceedings for steel bridges across Sul
livan and Marquam gulches.
Three communications were received
from the Executive Board. The first was
recommendation that an ordinance be
passed to require bulkheads under the
wharves for theprevcntlon of fire,- and
was referred to the committee on com
merce and wharves for consideration. The
second called attention to the fact that
the hoard resolved to Increase the wages
of the blrdgeworkcrs. and the third was
in reference to the proposed purchase of
two lots near the city barn from Tyler
woodward for $3000 to be used by the
street-cleaning department.
Petitions were received asking for the
improvement of the following streets:
East Eighth street from Falling to Ma
son; Main street from Front to Four
teenth; Hancock street from East Twen
ty-fourth to County Road; East Thirty-
first from Hancock to Halsey; for a sew
er In East Thirty-sixth and Main streets.
and for a change of grade In Broadway
street.
Remonstrances against the improve
ments on the following streets were re
ceived and referred to the street commit
tee: Sixth street from Morrison to Jeffer
son. Tenth from Morrison to Jefferson.
Raleigh from Fourteenth to Willamette
Heights. Davis street, Denver avenue.
Arthur street, Brazee street and East
Thlrteepth street. A remonstrance was
also received against the asphalting of
Alder street, but it was not signed by a
sufficient number of property-owners to
defeat the work. A remonstrance was
also received against the reassessment of
East jlurnslde street, stating that the
street was not made properly. Mr. Shar
key took the floor and said empnatlcally:
I think that some one In authority
should take up this matter of tbe con
tractors not living up to the specifica
tions. There are other places In the city
where the property-owners will contest
because material was used that was not
of the proper quality. Some one ought
to hold the contractors to the specifica
tions."
Some of the other Councllmen thought
that care should be used and hereafter
the work will have to be up to the stand
ard before It will be accepted.
M. C Green petitioned for a street sign
on Morrison street, and the petition was
referred to the street committee. On rec
ommendation of Mr. Merrill, who said
that the sign was to be on a building and
not on the street, and that it would have
lights In It, the disposition was reconsid
ered, and the request granted.
The present plan of streets and blocks
In Ardmore Addition was ordered vacated.

on recommendation of Mr. Zimmer
man, the City Engineer was granted an

that the congested work in his office could
be disposed of. The Civil Service Com
mission was also granted $1300 for the
year's expenses, and J1000 was set aside
for the expenses of the Council.
Ordinances were passed providing lor
the time and manner of improving the fol
lowing streets, and as soon as bids can be

provement: Sewer in Fifth street at Gll

The ordinance taxing telegraph compa
nies tZ a year per pole came up on its last
reading, but was referred to the license
committee to ascertain how many poles
the companies had in the city limits.
Resolutions were passed declaring the
Intention of Improving a number of
streets and constructing sewers, the prin
cipal ones being the repairing of the
asphalt on Sixth street from Washington

on First street at Marquam gulch, and a
steel bridge on Grand avenue at Sulli

BOND WAS BADLY DRAWN
John D. Daly's Installation Delayed
by Insurance Comlnic.
John D. Daly, State'Senator and pros
pective Surveyor-General for Oregon, has
not yet received the commission from
Washington which will enable him to sit
at Mr. Meldrum's desk. The delay comes
through no fault of Mr. Daly nor ot the
Department,
Among other formalities that must be
compiled with by an appointee to this
office. Is the forwarding- of a proper bond
for tbe faithful performance of his du
ties. After obtaining the appointment Mr.
Daly went to the local agent of a bond
ing company and made application for a
bond. The agent was glad to see Mr. Daly
and assured" him that the company would
see that the bond was made out In the
form laid down by the Government- Mr.
Daly thereupon paid his' premium and sar
down to await the arrival of his commis
sion. It should have arrived yesterday,
but Instead there arrived only a notifica
tion from the Department .of the Interior
that the bond forwarded by the agent was
Improperly made out, and that It would be
necessary to attach thereto bis oath ot
office.
This formality Mr. Daly attended to
yeeterday and the bond was once more
returned to undergo the "eagle-eyed scru
tiny of the Department officials. The
commission will probably arrive as soon
as the bond reaches Washington. In the
meantime, the pay drawn by tbe Surveyor-General
of Oregon Is being paid to
Mr. Meldrum.

THE FUXERAL CORTEGE OF THE LATE II. "W.
VaSBaatIaSBBBSw5I,iBWBBBBBH
TO BUILD NEW SAWMILL
STAXDARD BOX FACTORY TO ERECT
100,000 PLAXT.
Output Will Be Used In the Manufac
ture of Boxes for the Ex
port Trade.
Preliminary work has been started on a
new sawmill plant and box factory for the
Standard Box Factory & Manufacturing
Company, between East Pine and East
Ankeny street, and between East First
street and the river. When completed the
factory will represent an expenditure of
over 1100,000. and will be one of the larg
est and most complete box factories on
the Pacific Coast. With the streets va
cated by the City Council some time since
the company will have three and one-half
blocks for the plant. Ben Smith has the
contract to drive the plies for the street
roadways and the foundations of the saw
mill and buildings. The sawmill plant
will be erected at once, and the box fac
tory later In the season.
S. C Cobb, secretary of the Standard
Box Factory Company, said the buildings
for the sawmill will be as follows: Main
sawmill building. 192x42: boiler-house.
42x36; engine-house. SlxS); planer shed.
30x120; two dry-kilns, each 45x73. He es
timated that the Immediate expenditure
would be about 140.000. For the box fac
tory plant, to be erected later in the sea
son, about $30,000 will be spent. The in
vestment will represent considerably over
$100,000. and perhaps will run up to fully
$130,000. The company has secured a long
lease on the land, besides It has the use
of the vacated streets. The sawmill will
have a capacity for cutting 100,000 feet of
lumber a day, and all will be used In the
manufacture of boxes. There will only be
one or two plants on this Coast which are
larger than this factory will be when
completed. The company, which now ex
ports about half Its output, and disposes
of the remainder to the local trade, will
export much more when the new plant Is
In operation. The Standard Box Factory
was never a financial success until it
passed under the present management.
Contractor Smith Is fitting up his pile
driver on East Water street, and will
drive plies on East Water through to East
Ankeny. He has a large raft In the
river.
These Improvements will drive out a
large number of scowhouses between East
Oak and East Ankeny streets. The own
ers have agreed to move at once and be.
out of the way ot tbe plledriver as soon
as It Is In readiness to begin work. Where
the barges will be moved to is not known.
Secretary Cobb made out a single order
for machinery yesterday that will cost
$22,000. All the machinery will be new,
and will probably be on hand by the time
the buildings are completed.

CLARK NOT COMING.
Admiral Unable to Come Xortli For
Sreord Presentation,
Admiral Clark will not be able to coma
to Portland to receive the memorial sword.
His duties at the Mare Island Navy-Yard
prevent his leaving for any length of time.
Colonel R. W. Mitchell, chairman of the
sword committee, will appoint a commit
tee to take the sword to the Admiral soon
after the excitement of the President's
visit Is over. Naturally the members of
the sword committee and all others In
terested In the enterprise are much dis
appointed, as they thought the President's
visit the most appropriate time for the
presentation of the sword.
The sword Is now on Its way from the
manufacturers and should arrive In Pqrt
land this week? The design was sent to
the makers early In December, but work
of that character requires many weeks,
and the sword has pot yet made Its ap
pearance. The committee had planned a banquet to
Admiral Clark at the Hotel Portland, but
all these festivities must now be called
off.
Apparently President Roosevelt Is not
aware that the former commander of the
battleship Oregon will not be In Portland
at the time' of his visit, for Mayor Will
lams has received a letter from William
Loeb. Jr., secretary to the President, say
ing that Admiral Clark would be a mem
ber of the party and that accommodation
should be made for him.
DELEGATES WANTED.
Mayor Receives Invitation to Send
Representatives to St. Louis.
Who Is willing to act as a delegate to
the St. Louis Good Roads convention,
beginning April 27? Mayor Williams has
received an invitation from the secretary
ot the convention, asking that he be
present and that he also appoint five other
members of the city administration to
represent Portland. The mayor has no
expectation of being able to attend and
does not know of anyone Interested In
this work who will probably go East at
thia rime.
"I wish that any one who Is willing to
act as a delegate from Portland will let
me know, and I willl appoint him as
such." said the Mayor yesterday.
The communication received gives the
purpose of the convention as arousing In
terest among business men In the good
roads question. The promoters of the con
vention think' that the farmer Is not the
only person who should work for good
roads, and. therefore. It la men of business
in particular wbo are Invited to attend. The
official title of the meeting Is the National
and International Good Roads Convention.
The railroads have made a rate of one
fare for the round trip to delegates, good
from April 28 to May 4. The convention
will meet on April 27-CS-29.
