There has been rrit Tallin- off In the number of citizens visiting- the City Hall -within the past few daya, and the clerks ana aepuues arc catching- op with the work which has overcrowded them. One of them said yesterday: "There Is no rush now. There are no applications for building permits nor for permits to connect with water or gas or sewers. No one asking for num bers for new houses, no architects asking for the elevation of street Intersections, none asking for permits for making ex cavations for foundations nor for the lo cation of water mains and sewers, nor how far from a certain lot the nearest electric light Is, nor a thourand other things as they used to be doing all day long. There are few callers now, except those who want to know something about cement sidewalks, the construction of which Is still going on." At the County Courthouse yesterday forenoon the condi tion of affairs appeared to be about the same. The halls were empty and in the Recorder's office a dozen or more clerks, stenographers and abstractors were gath - ered around a son ot Italy, who was dis playing a lot ot plaster casts. The girls admired a statute of winged Mercury, but bought casta of heads of cherubs, and Romeo and Juliet. Deputy McCord in vested In the Venus ot illlo. which he placed on his deck end stared at. wnile others fondled a lean lion of St. Marks, and a young woman squandered her wealth on an Apollo Belvedere. The peddler thought he had struck a picnic and bowed low as he took his departure. Mors New Sidewaucs. The construc tion of cement sidewalks Is still going aneaa m a great-many places about town. and notices calling for more are constant ly being posted. In a few days the city will' proceed to construct sidewalks In front of a number of nieces of nrooertr. the owners of which have failed to do It within 30 days after being notified to do so. The sidewalk at the northeast corner of Fourth and Burnslde streets has been barricaded, being In a very dangerous condition, as have also two pieces on Burnslde, between Third and "Fourth, and two on Fourth, between Burnslde and Couch streets. A concrete walk laid in front of the property of J. a. Mack, on Thurman street, will have to be taken up by the contractors and relald. as the top is disintegrating In places. It Is supposed that It was Injured by frost before It had set. The City Engineer again warns property-owners not to pay for concrete walks until the contractor presents a written certificate of their acceptance by mm. Nor Iottioated bt Co hn. Friends of S, Morton Cohn. the nlekrl-In-tbe-olot ma chine magnate, think an lnjuetlce has been done him in the assumption on the part of some people that he Instigated the recent arrests of some persons operating machines not furnished by htm. Last Fall an arrangement was made by which toe so-called money machines were al lowed to run on condition that they paid no money. They were placed as nearly as pouiDis on toe same basis as the trade raaobjneis; -and- they -yielded checks, or other representatives, or value, as prizes Instead of coin. These were redeemable In articles of trade, and not money. The reason of the arrest of the slot machine proprietors. Monday, It Is said, was that they were running In violation of this ar rangement, and were paring money. The fact that they were or were not Conn's machines. It Is said, had nothing to do with It. Veteran Scissors Orikder Ikjtjbed. J. Bufall, a veteran scissors grinder, of 70 odd years, narrowly escaped death by being run over by an express wagon at Thtrg and Alder yesterday afternoon. The old man was as usual grinding away at his work and started to walk around the machine Just as the wagon came round the corner. He was unable to get out of the way and the driver did not see him soon enough to stop the team. The old man was struck by the wagon and violently thrown to the ground. Fortu nately the wheels of the conveyance did not touch htm. and. outside ot a Stir cuts about the face and bead, he Is none the worse for his accident. No -blame Is at tached -to the driver, who took the old man to the Police Station, where he was cared for until able to return to -his work. Basesau. today. Bases au. Tod at, 330. Baserali.

A cake, the employes ot a wholesale house and a wed ding came nearly causing trouble on Front street a day or so since. An order for goods was left at a certain wholesale house, with word, as Is often customary, that a package would be sent in to go with the purchased articles to a distant city. A -day or so after a baker's boy left a package containing a fruit cake, decorated and frosted in the highest style of culinary art. The cake remained un touched for ten days, when an employe, with a tooth for "sweets" discovered It and essayed to And the owner. After some telephoning. It was decided that the cake would spoil If something were not done, so knives were procured and the cake cut amidst much hilarity, the latter coming mostly from the girls employed In the office. Short work was made of the toothsome food and It was agreed that the maker certainly knew bow to make a splendid cake. That night several had bad dreams, but as these go by contraries. It was not considered that anything would come of the exploit. Not so. however. The owner of the cako called at the wholesale house and desired to know why the package sent In had not been Included with the shipment. No one knew of the package until he explained that It was a wedding cake that was missing. Bach wss positive tnat no cake bad been left, till the baker's evidence was produced, and there was a confession and a request that a valuation be placed on the package. Several Front-street employes have -lost any appetite they may have had for cake. Spent a Bust Vacation. United States Circuit Judge Gilbert, who has been spending a lew weeks vacation here, re turned to San Francisco last night to take bis place on the bench of the United States Court of Appeals. He bad so many opinions to write wblle here that his time was pretty fully taken up, and about the only real vacation he had was a week he spent at his country residence on Lake River, a few miles from his farm. He greatly enjoyed his stay there. and was much gratified with the pros perous appearance of that region. Judge Gilbert thinks It singular, considering the success of the shad, catfish and black bass Introduced here, to say nothing of the carp, that no one has taken the trouble to Introduce the triped bass. These fine fish were Introduced Into Cal ifornia waters some time ago, and has been a great success. II is highly es teemed there, and now cuts quite a figure In the California fish product. The striped bass Is imported here from California In large quantities and Is In good demand. It would be a simple matter to bring up a tank ot them alive, either by rail or steamer, and Introduce them'' In the Co lumbia and Willamette. Judge Gilbert expects to be able to return here for the Summer vacation In about two months, when he will take up his residence with his family at his country place. About Coiipulsort Arbitration. A party of citizens who met at lunch yes terday fell Into a discussion of the system of compulsory arbitration, which they said Is In vogue In New Zealand, where strikes are not allowed. Several favored the scheme, which, they said, has put a siop to strikes in sevr ezaiano. Their ar gument was that as when people get Into a dispute over property the courts had to "arbitrate" and decide the question, so when people differed In regard to the amount of wages that ahould be paid or accepted, there should be somebody authorized to arbitrate and settle the dis pute, and the disputants should be obliged to accept their decision. - Others of the party thought nothing with the name compulsory attached to it could satis factorily settle differences between em ployers and employes. The great oblec tlon to strikes Is that they are an effort at compulsion, which are objected to by employers, and employes would have the same objection to compulsory arbitration. ro one likes to be compelled to do any. wing ne aoesn t want to. mat Have to Move When Short, handed. Postmaster Bancroft la not ex. actly pleased with the, prospects connected wiro gelling nis onjee moved Into tern. porary quarters in the Snell-Heltschu building. .The occupants --ore. erectlne building to move Into, and have little Idea of moving until It is ready. In these days oi sinKes no one can tell Just when that win ne. The employes In the Postofflce will begin to take their Summer vacations Just after July 4. when there will be two men gone at a time from the. city de livery, two out of the mailing-room, and one out of the registry. Besides substi tutes will have to be sent to the various stations. The moving of the office will be a very laborious and tiresome affair at best, but should this have to be done while help Is depleted by men being oft on vacation It will be very trying on all concerned. Market Gardener Wants Snakes. a market gardener who noticed the state ment of a snake charmer In regard to the usefulness of garter snakes as destrovers of malls, slugs and other pest, which was published In The Oregonlan a few days ago. writes to say that he Is plagued by slugs and snals. which have a-reatlv -damaged his young lettuce, radishes and cabDage plants, and he wants to know where he can secure a lot of snakes to place In his garden. He will Drobablv have to hunt about the country for them as it is not known that anyone keeps them In stock In this city. The charmer only had one and It Is not likely that he could be Induced to part with that Snakes are not very numerous In this region and most people when they see one, go out of their way to kill It. It would hardly be advisable to Import a lot. To Dedicate Soldiers' Monument. The council of administration of the Span- wo nr eicrans, lor me Department of Oregon, have fixed the date for the dedi cation of the monument In memory of the late Oregon Volunteers for Sunday, May 24. at 3 o'clock P. M. The council author ized Department Commander Gantenbeln to appoint a committee of three to ar range the details In connection with the dedication of the monument. As such General O. Summers. Chaplain W. O. Gilbert, and Major Sandford Whiting have been appointed. Stockholders' Meeting. At a meeting of the stockholders of Corey Bros. & Alden, railroad contractors, held in Ogden, Utah, on April IS. IMS. the following di rectors were elected to serve for the en suing term: A. B. Corey. W. W. Corey, & C Gallagher and L. R. Rogers. The di rectors met and elected the following of ficers: A. B. Corey, president; W. W. Corey, vice-president; L. J. Holther. Jr.. secretary, and L. R. Rogers, treasurer. B. K. Alden retiring as secretary and treasurer. Butter Is Plentiful. Receipts of but te have been Increasing rapidly of late and there has been a corresponding de crease In the price. Within the last few weeks the price has dropped 20 or 25 cents per roll. Such quantities are now ar riving that dealers are prepared to receive orders for shipment. One took an order yesterday for a ton to be packed In bar rels to be sent to Alaska, and said he was glad to get It. In a short time people will be able to butter their bread on both sides. Can Get Their Monet Back. Elbert Hubbard, editor of .the Philistine, who was booked to lecture In Portland, sent a telegram to Judge Bellinger yesterday expressing his regret at being compelled to cancel the engagament. because of an urgent call to return East at once. Mr. Hubbard stated that he would visit Port land at some future time. Purchasers of tickets will nave their money refunded at Woods rd. Clarke & Cc'a store.

Portland Rose Sooett Tonight. At a meeting of the 'officers ot the Portland Rose Society, called together by the newly elected president, Mrs. H. L. Plt- tock. it was decided to hold a public and business meeting at the First Unitarian Church, corner of Seventh and Tamnm streets tonight, to push forward more en- -energetlcaly for the -Coming Summer. Ad dresses will be given by prominent mem bers. It Is truly wonderful the great Interest there is taken In rose planting. Thousands of plants have been set since last tall and the work continues. Many of the more enthusiastic growers are not satisfied with beautifying their yards, but are surrounding their premises by plant ing between the sidewalk and the curb. At the meeting tonight the city will be dis tricted by appointing a member of the executive committee from each ward of the city. Plans will also be suggested re garding the holding of shows and floral. parades, during the coming- Summer, par ticularly If roses are In bloom at the time ot the President's visit. senator Mitchell Will Arjuvb in Mat. H. C Robertson, private secretary to benator Mitchell, who arrived here about a week ago. says he expects the Senator to reach Portland about the mid dle of May, a tew days before the ar rival of President Roosevelt, anyway. He says wnen ne jeir. wasmngton tne Ken atrr was as well as erer he was. and was about to start for New Tork to visit his daughter there. He was then going to take a rest before starting for Oregon, and Mr. Robe rs ton does not know exactly wncre ne is at present.

Another well-attended meeting was nem at tne First Christian Church. corner Park arid Columbia streets, last evening. Evangelist Wilson preached on Christian Union." Mr. Davis sang with splendid effect "Flee As a Bird." Several persons responded to the Invitation to confess their tslth. The meeting this evening will be one of great interest.

Sorlna- chlckens are beginning to come to market In considerable numbers, but they are rather diminutive yet. The market-men are. however, very glad to iret them, and supplement tne supply with Eastern chickens, which are larger.

UoS ALASKA IS A TERRITORY So Saysi Volney T. HocKKtt, nn At torney From Valdc. Volney T. Hoggatt, an attorney of Val- des, who passed through Portland yester day. claims that Alaska his been a Ter ritory of the United. Stitcs; and as 'such entitled to representation In Congress, ever since 1S67. 'At present there Is much agitation In the district of the far north for its admission to the Union as a ter ritory on a basis- similar to that occu pled by Arizona; and also for Its repre sentation In Congress by a delegate to be elected by tne residents of the country. A bill to this effect was Introduced In the lower House at the list session, but was Killed in tne Senate. "This agitation Is unnecessary," said air. Volney yesterday, "and the bill In t reduced la the House by Representative Cushman was also unnecesaarv. Alaska occupies the unique and unparalleled po sition of being entitled to certiln politi cal rights for nearly 50 years, and never having known It. Alaska Is a territory of the' United States today as fully as ever any other territory was. "The Supreme ' Court of the United States. In the case of the United States versus the steamer Coqultlan. held thit Alaska was a Territory of the United States, and It Is so designated In every legislative enactment since Its acquisition from Russia In 1S6T. The Secretary of the Interior. In a letter dated October 20. 1&7. designated Alaska as the newly-acquired Territory of Alaska. A contract entered into In 15G8 between the United States and the North American Commercial Company, relative to the taking of fur seals from the coast ot Alaska, uses the words, "In the territory of Alaska." All the acts of Congress, subsequent to Its political organization in 1SS4. lnvarlablr designate Alaska as the Territory of Alaska, These, of course, arc not as strong an authority as the Supreme Court In the decision I have mentioned. That decides squarely thit Alaska Is one of the terri tories of the United States, not In area but In the same political sense as Ari zona or New Mexico. "The words of the Supreme Court are "Alaska Is one of the territories of the United States and has always been so regarded." "Why. Alaska his been designated the 'District of Alaska' Is because of the acts of Congress which created Alaska as a Judicial district, the same as all the other territories. The statutes of the United States declare that all the organized ter ritories of the United States shall be en titled to a delegate In Congress who shall be entitled to a seat on the floor of the lower House, but shill not be entitled to a vote. Therefore, Alaska needs no fur ther legislation from Congress than now exists." According to Mr. Hoggatt's argument, which he will submit in the form of a brief to Governor Bridy of Alaska. If the Governor calls an election, and as a re sult issues his certificate to the person re ceiving the largest number of votes cast, that person will be entitled to the priv ileges of the floor of the House. "In 1S17," said Mr. Hoggatt. "Congress provided for a delegate In Congress from the territory northwest of the Ohio River, and has ever since provided for the rep resentation of every organized district. Out of the district northwest of the Ohio, were carved other districts for political purposes, such ss the territories of Illi nois. Wisconsin and Michigan. History will repeat Itself, and before very many years there will be carved out of Alaska, other districts which will be known, for Instance, as the territories of Lincoln, Sumner, etc "There Is no reason for refusing Alaska a delegate In Congress now, no reason at least thit has any legal foundation. Tbo Governor has only to call the election as provided for by section 1SS3 ot the Revised Statutes. "One thing more." said Mr. Hoggatt. ''Section 1X2, of the Revised Statutes, says that every territory of the United States in which a temporary government has been established shall have a right to send a delegate to Congress. Now, a temporary government has certainly been established for Alaska." Mr. Hoggatt says that Governor Brady will. If he Is convinced that he has the right to do so. call this election, and will submit the matter to President Roosevelt, when the litter visits the Pacific North west In May. "Every Alaskan who has been In Wash ington recently, knows the Presidents views on the right ot Alaska to have a delegate In my presence, when the dele gation of Alaskans appeared before him In October last, the President stated that he could not see why Alaska had never been represented In Congress, and that he was warmly in favor of a representative for the Territory, and also that he was Killing to do all in his power to help the Northern country to obtain cue" Old California days, and especially scenes around mining camps familiar to 43er, form the ground work ot J. Rush Branson's Tiew emotional play, Cali fornia." -presented last night before a fair-sized audience at Cordray's Theater. It was well received, and there were sev eral curtain calls. "California" Is a bold effort to write a state play, after the fashion of "Alabama" and "Arizona." Mr. Bronson Is a Calltornlan, and In 1STS be lived. In this city when he acted Ju venile parts for W. E. Sheridan at the- Newmarket Theater, Second street, near Burnslde. There are two stars In the company. Miss Rae Bronson. who Is .Dolores, the woman with a past, and Ed M. Kimball, who portrays Tom Bolton, a rugged, old-fashioned Callfomian. Miss Bronson has good physique and voice Mr. Kimball Is a fine specimen of the old-time actor, "and he seems to be specially built foe the part ot Tom Bolton. The scenery Is well worth a visit, the view of Mc Cloud River beneath the shadow of Shasta, and the Tosemlte Valley being especially fine. Good specialties are given between acts by Miss Caddie Franks, so prano, and Horace Mann, baritone. Their (elections were encored. Mr. Mann gave a clever Imitation of unevaiier, tne t.ng- Hsh coster-monger, singing one of his songs, "The Old Kent Road." He also sang a song portraying the death of a Highlander in battle, and finished witn the refrain. "'Scotch Lassie Jean." . In the first act of the play a California mining settlement Is depleted. There Is rude blacksmith's shanty, witn signs reading: "No Tick," "Hoarxe Shooing Dun Heart- Tom Bolton (E. M. Kimball) has an adopted daughter. Ernie (Mayme Hon), whom he found as a baby y the side of a strange woman who died soon aftet she arrived from the East. The old miner took the little girl, and also deeds to prove her ownership to property when she should come of age. When the foundling Is IS yeans ot age Richard Ben son (E. B. Wlnstanley) In his capacity as heavy villain, steals the deeds ana announces himself- as the girl's long-lost father, but she repudiates him. In the next act, however, she falls In love with him and almost Joins him In an elort ment. but at this period her real father turns up, Dlas (Richard Clarke) an out cast, who was sent to prison on a false charge. He recognizes her by "a locket she wore, and reveals his Identity. Ben son's true character Is unmasked by Dolores, a woman whom he had wronired (Rae Bronson) and' she has plenty ot scope for emotional acting. She has an un pleasant part to play, and works hard to please. Finally. In a good, old-fashioned knife fight between Benson and Dlas. both re ceive fatal wounds. Dolores Is at first blamed for Benson's death, but Dlas gen erously returns, takes the whole blame; and dies. The comedy work receives Justice from Mr. Bronson and Henrietta Jocelyn, but the character of Widow Summers Is tire pome. "California" will be seen at Cord- ray's every jilght until Saturday night. with a -matinee Saturday afternoon.

The last week of Harry Corson Clarke's season Is rapidly drifting away, and soon the. opportunity will be gone forever of seeing -this prince of 'comedians In the title rolejn "What Happened to Jones." Those who go to a theater to be amused should not mlra this production. The cast is good and the comedian himself lives right up to his reputation for comedy. The dry. droll manner that be has makes Mr. Clarke eminently fitted for the role he assumes. Mr. Clarke's work Is good throughout, but especially when the real bishop arrives. His cool nonchalance un der the most trying situation is fine In the extreme, and shouta ot laughter are heard to rise from the Baker Theater. The company gives an even performance. Mr. Clarke certainly has given us this week a production well calculated to please the audience and he should do an enor mous business.
