Property-own. era on East Stark street bare been try ing for some time to secure the replant ing- of the roadway on that street, irom East Water street to Union avenue, and were much put out when, on account of some people preferring to have a fill there, the Council did not provide for any Im provement, but talked about fencing up the street. Terterday V. E. Splcer and J H. Page called on City Engineer Elliott and entered a vigorous protest the Idea of closing East Stark There Is a railway siding on East sec ond street at Stark, where many car loads of products from Southern and Eaat - unloaded, and consequent ly there Is a great amount of teaming done there, zmi hmoiosiuu tvnt.r street to Union avenue, has been fenced up for months. There Is no street where East Oak Mreet should be, and if T-juit Oak should be fenced up there would be no way of getting freight from the sidetrack on Second street at alL Messrs. Splcer and Page asked that Stark street be replanked so that It can be kept open. It In some eight years since tnis street was planked, and. owing to the Im mense trafllc now forced on It by other streets being closed, it has given out all at once, and horses break through it every day. A fill here would be favored by all. but It would require years to make it, and some roadway to accommodate the traffic in the meantime Is very necessary. En gineer Elliott promised .to do all In his power to have the street put In order at once. It will cost about J1S00 to lay a plank roadway 20 feet In width in the center of the street, and perhaps, as the timbers of the roadway are fairly rood. It may be possible to have It re planked entirely. Mr. Page Is confident that the center or business win soon oe at East Second and East Stark streets, on account of the railroad track there. He nays the time is not far away when oil wholesalers here must have, places alongside railroad tracks, as in other cities. At least 125 carloads of produce per month are now unloaded at this point by Mr.- Splcer alone. This stuff used to be handled at the foot of Wash ington street, being brought there on boats, but It can be handled SO cents a ton cheaper from the track at East Sec ond and Stark streets. Mr. Page says the railroads own all the water front on the East side from the steel bridge up to the foot of East Oak, and from the foot of Madison street up to Sellwood, and be fore long the east bank of the river will be lined with levees. Blast Finalit Expijded. A gang of men employed by Contractor Joplln In opening streets and grading the tract in Holladay Addition, formerly known as Cycle Park, nave been obliged to blast out a number of stumps. A day or two since F. M. Cox, one of the gang, put blasts of giant powder under several stumps and met with rather an unpleas ant experience. All the blasts went off and blew the stumps out of sight except one. Mr. Cook was curious to learn why this one blast, which consisted of only one cartridge of dynamite, failed to do Its duty, and so went over to the place and stooped down to pick up the fuse to examine it. This is rather a dangerous way of Investigating unexploded dyna mite, much like a man taking hold of a wire carrying 5000 volts of electricity to see whether It is loaded or not. Just as Cook took hold of the fuse, the blast went off. and his mouth, eyes and noe were filled with several handfuls of earth thrown violently Into his face. He had. however, used such excellent judgment In placing the charge of dynamite that It split the stump in two pieces which were hurled past him, one on each side. He found this much more healthy and conven ient than if the.etump had remained whole and had taken a middle course and passed through him. After the doctors had removed the earth from bis eyes, etc-, and he had recovered his breath, -which had been scared out of him, it was found that he was not so seriously injured as had been supposed by the men who nicked him ira. He says .that in future when a blast falls to go off on time he will give it more time, and then let some one else Investigate. Equinoctial Gales "Were Late. Those who felt that this region had been slight ed when the-vernal equinox passed with out the usual equinoctial gale, are satis- fled that the zephyrs of the past two days and nights have paid the debt In full with Interest to date. If there are any fruit trees standing -which are not fully blown it must be their own fault. The cool weather since the first of the month has retarded the blossoming of cherry trees. which it was feared were putting forth too early, and might be Injured by heavy rains later. Through this delay there now appears but little danger of any damage to the prospective cherry crop, and fruit trees of all kinds are blossoming season' ably. Driyb Over Pabadb Routes Post. rojjon. The special committee which was to have driven over the different routes suggested for the Presidential parade did not make the trip yesterday. Threatening weather convinced the committeemen that a postponement of the drive would be advisable. As a result the commit tee appointed Monday evening to outline a programme for the President's enter, talnment did not decide upon anything at its meeting yesterosy afternoon. The matter will be taken up again prior to the next general meeting of the Presi dential reception committee,' which is to be held Friday evening at the Commercial Club rooms. CnsrsB on tux Programme. The pro gramme of Miss Voorhees' demonstration at the School of Domestic Science yester day afternoon was cheese-straws, cheese souffle, welsh rarebit and hot cross buns. All of these were extremely nice, and the buns, made from an improved modern recipe, will be a delicious addition to many a Portland menu on Good Friday. During the remainder of April the Tuei rtnr demonstration will be discontinued. to commence again on the first Tuesday In May. The other classes will go on as Usual. Two Patrolmen to Bb Dismissed. Patrolmen Frank Olsen and J. C Johnson are both charged with conduct unbecom ing their office, and the Police Commis sioners have recommended that they be discharged. Johnson is charred with beating a man while on duty when then was no occasion Tor the act: Olsen Is charged with caving used Intoxicating liquors while on duty.

Wise ITecjl, dentists, the Falling. Tans Ast .or Fume WsrrDfti. The ac tion of the late H. W. Co'rbett In making provision in his win for aiding in secur ing a teacher of penmanship for the Portland Academy has attracted much at tention, among clerks and bookkeepers especially. There shears to be a general feeling among this class of opposition to the vertical system of writing now taught in the schools of this dty. One who has for years practiced the art of penmanship and who has few equals as a penman said yesterday that he had failed to nouoo that the vertical system oi wnuag uu been approved by the best penmen of any part of the country. It appeared to him a turning back to the old-time system, the old finger movement, so productive of pen paralysis, which the best penmen of the country labored for SO years to get discarded In favor of the system wnicu brings Into use the forearm and muscles of the wrist and hand. He said the ver. tlcal system has not been In use here long enough fully to show .what the results will be. as the children who have been taught It have not come to fill positions as clerks or bookkeepers yet Of course, those employed to teach vertical penman ship advocate it, but few have had op portunity to know much about It. The typewriter now takes the place of many penmen. The records of the city are printed with a typewriter and are bound. The county records are written with a typewriter in a bound book, but the finan cial accounts of the city and county are written with a pen, and probably always win oe. in the bank over which H. w. Corbett so long presided a score or mote of writers are employed, and there is only one typewriter used. It Is not possible for every one to become a first-class writer, but all may be taught to write so that their writing is legible. Ckakoes in Railroad Orncxs. The front of the -north end of the Wlegand estate bulldlnr. at the northeast corner of Third and Alder streets, has been torn out and two offices are to be made there to accommodate railroad ticket agents. One of these is to be occupied by the agent of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company, who removes from 245 Alder street, and in the other will be the agent of the New Tork Central & Hud. son River, who has had a room In the Sherlock block. The office at US Alder street Is to be occupied by the agent of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company. Press Club Smoker. The members of the City Press Club will hold an Informal smoker this evening at the clubrooms, on the seventh floor of the Marquam building. Owing to a misunderstanding. the last smoker was not largely attend' ed. but It is thought that most of the members will be on hand this evening. First Christian Church Revivals.

H. Borer, director. The First Congregational Church. Parsr and Madison streets; was crowded to the doors last night oa the occasion of the third oratorio of the season of 1302-01. sung by the Boyer chorus. Jules Masse net's "Mary Magdalene." The chorus numbered GS voices, and the orchestra. 30 pieces. A successful production of the oratorio was given, and the members of the chorus were in such fine voice that It seemed a pity Massenet did not give them more to do. The gem of the oratorio Is the chorus of male voices with con traltos, unaccompanied, "Be Thy Nama an Adored One. Our' Father on High." This la to "Mary Magdalene" what the Halleluiah chorus la to Handera "Mes siah." Two solo singers made their debut last night as soloists in oratorio work in Portland. Mlts Ethel Lytle. soprano, and N. C Zan. baritone, and It is a real pleasure to know that there are two such promising singers in this dry. Miss Lytle was not so nervous as most debu tantes are at least If she was nervous. she did not show. It in her singing. Her score called for plenty of notes above and in the region of the staff, and she re sponded with A and B flat clearly ana 'with fine Intelligence. Her tone is & warm, broad one. and not so small as with most prima sopranos. Miss Lytle as the Mary Magdalene showed reverence ana religious feeling In her singing, when dealing with such a sacred theme as the betrayal and crucifixion of Jesus Christ and she was heard at her best in the duet with Martha (Mrs. Walter Reed). Mr. Zan sang well, and he is clearly one of the coming baritones of the dty. lie is rather a high baritone than a bass-ban. tone, and consequently he Is at his best In his upper register, where bis voice Is strong, ringing and impressive. Mr. Zan was the Judas of the oratorio, ana much of the rich music and declaration fell to his share. Mrs. Walter Reed was the "Martha." and she was highly satis factory, as usual. Her part does not call for the heavy music scorea for the soprano, but in her solos and duets she sang with that finish and richness of tone that has made her so wru known. Harry W. Hogue. tenor, sang the diffi cult music of the "Evangelist" and ac- auitted himself well. The oratorio as a whole is of a dif ferent kind from that usually beard In Portland, and It would probably require two or three renderings thoroughly to understand It The motif is intricate, the music good, but difficult to perform, and most of the work goes to the soloists. In the first part one waits expectantly on the chorus, and It Is not until they sing "Soon Wilt Thou Be Leading" that one hears real chorus work. The choros for women's voices. "With Flowers of the Best and the Fairest Around Us Is splendidly written, with little or no ae comDanlment But real enthusiasm was not felt until the chorus of male voices and contraltos was heard In "Be Thy Name an Adored One." The volume of applause Increased to such an extent that Mr. Boyer thanked the audience and asked that there should be no applause In the succeeding numbers as these dealt with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ The chorus " 'Tis the Man- That Is He," was Impressively rendered, with the drums Increasing the dramatic color. The last chorus, "O. Happy Day," has a true ring, and the high As In the soprano and rich orchestration mode a brilliant finish. The orchestra played welt So far as known, last night was the first occasion on which Massenet's "Mary Magdalene" has been sung with orchestra and chorus on the Pacific Coast. The Boyer chorus is one of which Portland Is Justly proud, and the members ought to hold together for the sake of good ora torio In this dty. The time Is coming when we shall have possibly & week's musical festival In Portland, and the Boyer chorus with Its soloists will be one of the principal attractions when that occasion dawns. Mr. Boyer is to be con gratulated on the success of the ora torio, ana he may rest assured that bis work In introducing a new French com poser of such genius as that possessed by Jules Massenet is appreciated by all lov ers of genuine oratorio. "Reaping- the Harvest" at Cordray's. No better play in the melodramatic line has been seen at Cord ray's Theater this season than "Reaping the Harvest The story told In the play Is out of the ordi nary, and the author has departed from the rut worn so deep by other writers for years past There will be no performance at Cordrays Theater tin Good Friday night but otherwise the play continues all this week.

Mr. Clarke has chosen for his opening bill his latest suc cess entitled. "His Absent Boy." which Is a farce translated from the German by Sydney Rosenfeld.

One of the most Interesting, and cer tainly the most unique art displays ever held In this stats la the' first annual exhi bition of the Newspaper Artists League. which opened, lost night in the main par lors of the 'Hotel Portland, Tamhlll street entrance, under the management of M. A. Leggat The attendance was grat ifying. There was a true atmosphere of art present and callers and art lovers' generally not only- bad the pleasure o: admiring' the dever sketches and pictures. but In several Instances made the ac quaintance of artists. On first entering the parlors, one Is struck with the general excellence of the work; coupled with the knowledge that the pictures are mostly drawn or painted by newspaper artists residing In Port land, assisted by several of their breth ren of the brush or pencil who reside at San Francisco and Los Angeles. The floor is covered with snowy canvas, and the pictures are suspended from boards covered with dark doth. In their- pic tures or cartoons, if. is interesting to. note that the various artists nave not spared each other. For Instance. Lute Pease cartoons Homer Davenport and Harry Murphy, and Milton Werschkul cartoons Lute Pease, prominently displaying the latter"! bump of humor, by a clever touch. Mr. Werschkul also pays his respects to Chap Chapln and his desk-mate, F. A Shogres. Mr. Pease exhibits an excellent drawing, from life, of an. Oregonlan re porter, and is seen In able, vigorous sketches of life Jn Alaska, with accompa nying Esquimaux, Arctic dogs, snow shoes and sleighs. Mr. Pease shows about EO pictures. Few people suspected that Chap Chapln possesses such a delicious sense of hu mor as seen In her treatment of No. 155. "My English Friend." and No. 155, "For an Evening at 'Home." Miss Cbap ln's No. 1SS has a laugh all over It and the bottle of Bass ale. the halt-smoked cigar and the matches tell a tale. "Drumming"' and "Rose Cecilia Shay, by Miss Chapln are excellent It Is a pleasure to pick out- the work of Miss Rita. Bell, the subjects are generally In teresting-looking young women with a splrtuelle air. or pretty children. There is a finish and dainty grace In Miss BeU's work that la easily distinguished. She exhibits a pictures, and the most charm ing of these are Telephoning to Papa,' "Kathleen" and "A Country Belle." F. A Routledge shows 30 pictures, all showing bold treatment and beauty of de tail. This is noticeable In No. 199. "Ser geant Battery A." No. 303. "Light Ship, and No. 192, "Cutting the Net" Murray Wade shows several clever cartoons, and good work in his Oregon Girl calendar studies. R. Irwin Is equal to the others in point of merit and his good work Is seen in Ills laughable cartoon of Carrie ratlon. Max Newberry, of San Fran Cisco, exhibits delightful pictures. In his poster series and his work in "John Drew" and "Study in Furs." Helen E. Coan Is splendid In "Night In Chinatown' and "Duchesse Roses.' Other sketches are given by Joseph Kahler.
