Inspected Streets op Other Cities.
As the matter of Improving streets has o
late assumed much greater proportions In
this city than ever before, City Engineer
Elliott deemed it advisable to make a fly
ing trip to other cities of the Northwest
to see -what they were doing in this line,
and If he could get any Information that
would be of value. He arrived home
Tuesday evening, and on the whole is
patlsfled with the results of his trip. He
made only a brief stay at Tacoma, but
spent more time at Seattle, as more im
provement work Is being done there. He
found various kinds of streets there as
phalt, brick, wood block and some plank
streets. Generally speaking, he says. In
respect to streets, Seattle Is about on a
par with Portland. Some are well paved,
and In places districts have been laid off
In which all the streets are being Im
proved on the same plan and simultan
eously, as far as Is practicable, as the
people of Portland Heights are doing. He
found Spokane the most up-to-date city
he visited In the matter of good streets,
circumstances being most favorable there,
on account of the climate and the fact
that the city Is founded on a rock literal
ly, so In many places thero Is no need for
concrete foundations, as cuts made to
Improve grades, etc., are on solid rock.
There are many asphalt streets In Spo
kane, and granite curbs, cement sidewalks
and brick gutters are comm'on. The property-owners
or the city apparently pay
more attention to keeping pavements in
repair in Spokane than here, as on Sun
day, when there Is no heavy teaming go
ing on, men were out repairing all the lit
tle holes and defects In the asphalt
streets. Mr. Elliot was, however, handi
capped In obtaining much information of
value there, as there have lately been
elected a Republican Mayor and a Coun
cil, the majority of whom are Democrats,
and the newly appointed City Engineer
has not-been approved by the Council.
Fioirr and Fury in Applejack. Resi
dents In the neighborhood of Holbrook
Station, on the Astoria & Columbia River
Railroad, complain that an applejack fac
tory or distillery on the county road,
about a mile from the station is a nuis
ance. The proprietors have a license to
sell their stuff by the gallon, but It is
suspected that they sell It by the Mrlnk,
as their place is frequented by woodchop
pers and other laborers, many of whom
are frequently Intoxicated, and It la
charged that the deaths of two men re
cently drowned not far from the place Is
to be attributed to drinking too much of
this booze. Complaints say that apple
jack is vile stuff, not flt for any white
man to drink before It has been rectified,
and that there Is more fury and light to
the square Inch In it than In any other
kind of drink. It may be that the cora
plalners are prejudiced against a harm
less tipple.

Sham Battle Postponed. On account
of the inclemency of the weather, the
sham battle which was to take place on
Friday evening has been postponed until
Friday evening. May 29. 1903. All the ar
rangements were complete, but. In view
of the fact that the nights are cold and
the spectators would suffer correspond
ingly, ltvas decided by the committee In
charge to change the date to one week
later. The latter hope that the public
will keep this date in mind, and turn out
en masse, both for charity's sake and to
witness one of the finest military displays
ever seen in Portland.
Improvement of Seventh Street.
There Is a fair prospect now that the
Improvement of Seventh streets, from An
keny to Yamhill, will be completed some
flay. The concrete foundation for the
pavement is finished, and brick gutters
are being laid, and it said that the laying
of asphalt will be commenced next Fri
day. The residents along the street are
In hope that the wlnrows of weeks of

More Shad Caught Than "Wanted.
Fishermen along the lower Columbia arc
at their wits end to dispose of the shad
they are catching now. There Is market
for but few of them, and as It is not
possible to sell many in a canned condi
tion, canning them has been abandoned.
Eastern people will be shocked to learn
that there Is a great desire for some one
to start a fertilizer factor' to take care
of the shad and carp caught, especially
when they know that it Is only a few
years since both these fish were Intro
duced Into the Columbia. Both have mul
tiplied very fast, and are now considered
a burden. There are but few carp far
down the river, but as far up as Cathla-
met a considerable number of fine large
ones, six to eight pounds each are caught
dally In salmon seines, and have to be
thrown away. It Is said that these large
carp are much better eating than those
caught In sloughs about the mouth of the
Willamette. Salmon are coming in slowly
as yet, but at Cathlamet some very fine
large ones have been taken lately, and a
good many bluebacks aro being caught
and sold to canners. There are also a
number of young chlnooks, weighing say
two to four pounds, being caught, which
pass as trout. Largo numbers of small
sturgeon are also being caught, but care
has to be taken to put them back into
the river uninjured, as tha law protecting
sturgeon, since the big ones were all
killed, Is very strict. Over 1000 pounds of
shad per day are taken in some seines,
and have to be thrown away. The haul
ing out of a seine half a-mlle long Is an
interesting spectacle,, on account of the
amount and variety of fish inclosed,
which includes salmon of several varieties
and sizes, shad, carp, sturgeons, etc. In
early days there were more sturgeon and
salmon than could be utilized, but there
Is no complaint on that score now.
Chinook Salmon for the President.
A very handsome chinook salmon, the
largest seen here this season, ordered for
a present to President Roosevelt was dis
played at a Third-street market yester
day, andattracted much attention. Many
guessed Its weight at 80 pounds, but In
reality It only weighed G3 pounds. Tho
main school of salmon Is now only en
tering the Columbia, and no very large
fish have yet been caught, so the Presi
dent will have to makotho most of a C3
pounder, which, however, he or any other
Eastern man. would probably consider a
good-sized salmon. The fish was ordered
by E. E. Klmberland, who says he was In
school with President Roosevelt. As evi
dence of how the water of 'the Columbia
Increases the growth of fish transplanted
from the East, a "bull pout," or "Miller's
Thumb," was displayed near the big sal
mon, which was 34 Inches In length,
whiskers six Inches long on each side of
the mouth, and weighed 14 pounds. The
bull pout Is the smallest species of catfish,
usually six to ten Inches in length, one
a foot long being a whopper. This fish
was introduced Into the rivers here a
dozen years or more ago, and of late large
quantities of them have been sold In the
markets here in a "skun" condition. This
big pout, or catfish, as they are called,
for the pout Is the only species of catfish
here, attracted the attention of many,
who could hardly imagine it possible that
one could grow to such a size.
Murpht Dat at Police Station. Yes
terday was Murphy day at the police sta
tion. Three men at different times gave
this name to the captain on duty. So,
after that, every one brought in was
asked If his name was Murphy. In fact,
the Murphy family was the star boarder
on the docket. Good, patriotic citizens
were they, so they celebrated the ap
proaching visit of President Roosevelt by
the time-honored manner of getting
drunk. First It was Billy Murphy, who
has seen the Inside of a cell before; then
D. Murphy was found In a boisterous con
dition, and was given a ride in the vic
toria. P. Murphy (Pat almost to a cer
tainty) came In on a charge of vagrancy.
Late In tho afternoon a well-dressed
stranger In the city decided to take a nap.
He chose the curb of a building at Third
and Oak streets. He was dreaming of
home and mother when a rude policeman
awoke him and led him to the station,
Jess than half a block distant "Are you
another Murphy?" asked Ben Branch, as
he went through the pockets of the sleepy
person. The man with the dreamy eyes
saw the Joke and answered in th& affirma
tive, but finally spoiled it all by saying his
name was Berg.
Turners' Exhibition on Fridat. At
the Turners' exhibition at Turner Hall
gymnasium, Friday night, some of the
best work of its kind ever seen In the city
will be given. The programme; while
carefully arranged by Professor Krohn.
will not bo of the cut-and-dried style.
The work presented will be such as to
give people an Idea of the kind of exer
cises taught at the Turner's gymnasium
throughout the year, as well as to show
the different degrees of development of
the various classes. The senior class will
be very much in evidence this time, and,
as it has greatly improved this season,
will surprise the public with their excel
lence. The Junior classes hardly need
special mention, as Professor Krohn al
ways has them in good shape, but they,
too, will more than uphold their reputa
tion for excellence of execution, and will
give a good account of themselves. The
performance will begin promptly owing
to the length of tho programme.
Coming Woodmen's Carnival. The di
rectors of the Woodmen of the World
Amusement Association met Monday
evening and formulated plans for their
carnival to be held In "this city on July
14-2S. The different committees submitted
flattering reports. All the camps in the
city, comprising a membership of 6000, aro
enthusiastic over the proposed event .and
are putting forth every effort to make it
a success. The Park blocks north of
Washington street have been secured, and
the Southern Carnival Company, which Is
furnishing the attractions, promises to
present to the public a carnival of at
traction that will far excel anything yet
held in this city. As this is the first visit
of this organization to the Coast it is
making a special effort to place its name

were glad they arrived In Portland yes
terday for a four days' visit as they will
be in the same town with President
itoosevelt today. The circus parrot made
formal application for leave of absence to
view the parade this afternoon, but Mr.
Rowe turned- him down, as thero may be
a circus matinee performance at 2 P. M.
The street procession was witnessed by
delighted crowds, and tho universal opin
ion was, "the show is more entertaining
than ever."
In spite of the rain the tent show at the
Multnomah Field was crowded at both
performances, and the canvas is so se
curely waterproof that not a drop of rain
bothered the audience. Twelve educated
ponies opened the bill by standing on each'
others' backs, and then followed a bril
liant array of trained dogs, seals, mon
kevs, elephants, goats, etc They per?
formed wonderful feats. The acrobatic
work is clever. In fact the whole per
formance was of such a varied nature
that the assistance of Johnny Shay, aged
7, was secured as assistant reporter, and
this Is Johnny's report: "Circus is grate.

There will be a performance this morn

Kernel I ffe.
One of the moso successful and popular
of Ralph Stuart's offerings last season
was the thrilling domestic drama,
"Ferncliffe." by Mr. Haworth. Mr. Stu
art's many admirers in Portland will be
pleased to learn that he has decided upon
a revival of It at Baker's Theater next
week. While the character of Tom
Hewln differs from the romantic heroes
with which Portland's theatergoers have
grown to associate this talented actor, it
give3 opportunities for convincing efforts
and abounds in humorous, heroic and pa-,
thetic situations.
Mr. Stuart's admirable presentation of
this play last year will insuro large pa
tronage no doubt from those who wit
nessed It then, and those who missed that
pleasure.
While no battles are fought nor troops
paraded upon the stage, the story of the
play deals with the stirring times of the
Civil War, and its chief characters are
those who light for tho honor of our
Stars and Stripes.

and the rest of the Portland public and

programmed here.
At Cordray's the entertainments are

TO RESCUE HER CHILD.
Mr. Phoebe Clilnn Wn'ntu Her Son
Released From Anylam.
Mrs. Phoebe Chlnn, of Sumpter, came to
Partland yesterday to eecure the release
of her llttlo son, Erie Lowdcr, who was
committed to the Insane asylum by Judge
Webster two weeks ago. The boy who
Is simple minded was committed to the
asylum on the application of his uncle,
W. L. Cavanaugh, who Is Mrs. Chlnn's
brother, and Mrs. Cavanaugh.
Mrs. Chlnn has engaged Attorney John
F. Logan to conduct her case, and at the
request of Mr. Logan, Judge Webster
gave the mother a letter to the asylum
authorities.
Mrs. Chlnn's statement, as detailed by
her counrel, is that Cavanaugh visited her
at Sumpter a short time ago and induced
her to Let him take the child, saying that
as he was living on a farm at Sauvles
Island, it would be better for the boy's
health. He gave no Intimation that he
Intended to place the child In an asylum.
so she permitted him to take Eric away.
Shortly afterwards Mrs. Chlnn ascer
tained by reading a newspaper, that Cav
anaugh had caused the commitment of
the boy to the asylum, and she at once
began steps to get him out She con
sulted N. C Richards, an attorney of
Sumpter. who wrote to Mr. Logan, and
Mrs. Chlnn followed the letter to Port
land.
Eric Lowder Is a child of Mrs. Chlnn by
a former husband. The father struck
the child on tho head with a piece of
harnesu tug and It never fully recovered
from tha effects of the blow.
Cavanaugh's motivo In having the boy
committed to the asylum is not known.
but it is .known that an Idaho court took
some property away from tho father and
settled It on Eric some time ago.

WINDS UP ITS BUSINESS.
Old Port of Portland Commission's
Last Meeting.
The Port of Portland Commission
wound up Its two years' career at a
special meeting held yesterday afternoon.
According to the act passed by the last
Legislature, the new commission will go
Into office today, but as there is a dis
pute regarding the legality of the act.
there Is a possibility that the old board
win hold on for two years longer. Until
the question is decided, the late members
will stand aside and watch developments.
In the meantime, the Incoming board
will not be Idle. The newly appointed
members will hold a preliminary meeting
at 10 o'clock this morning, organize and
lay out a plan of action. It is probale that
their first move will be to take possession
of the Port of Portland headquarters and
demand the books and other documents
from E. T. C. Steven3, the clerk of the
retiring board. Mr. Stevens, acting on tho
advice of the old board, will refuse to
give them up, and thereby furnish grounds
for the 'quo warranto proceedings to bo
instituted In the Circuit Court From
all that can be learned, there will be no
spectacular performance of any kind,
though interest will not bo wanting In
the development of tho case nor Its out
come. The most Important matter before the
commission at Its final meeting was the
action to be taken on the drydock site
purchase. Thompson, Hartman and Pow
ers presented the deed for the tract hut
did not receive the full purchase price.
Mr. Adams moved that the deed be ac
cepted for the land at 514.000, but that
the board retain 51000 of this sum until
the Council of St Johns vacates Van
Buren and Albany streets. It was point
ed out that the vacation of these streets
is absolutely necessary for the purposes
of the dock. The board did not voto
unanimously for the motion, Mr. Tucker
opposing it
A second motion that the necessary
proceedings be Instituted to .vacate the
streets at onco was unanimously agreed
to.
Tho president and secretary were au
thorized to sign and execute a note In
favor of the Security Savings & Trust
Company for 555,000 at 6 per cent interest
to cover an overdraft of the treasurer's
with the bank for that amount
Mr. Swlgert moved that the clerk of
the board be authorized to purchase the
necessary supplies and material and en
gage the necessary labor for the opera
tion and maintenance of the dredges.
steamers, scows and other equipment of
the Port of Portland, such authority to
continue until revoked. As this was for
tho purpose of carrying on the work of
the commission until the lawsuit Is set
tled. It was promptly voted.
The Columbia Engineering Works was
authorized to make changes in the dry
dock machinery, as recommended by tho
engineer, and the Port of Portland given
credit for 555.27 and tho additional amount
of 8 cents a pound for 30 old brass stems.
Tho matter of renewing the cordwood
contract created some discussion. Presi
dent Banfleld .and Engineer Lockwood
had been appointed a committee at tho
former meeting to Investigate the sub
ject and they presented a letter from
Habinghorst & Co., who have been
supplying this fuel. The letter stated
that owing to unablllty to get barges,
the company considered it unadvisable to
renew the contract at less than 51.50 per
cord. It has been supplying wood at
5L40 at the wharf and 51.50 in the city,
and would contract to continue the sup-"
plying at a flat price of 51-50. Mr. Lock
wood said the commission is getting Its
fuel cheaper than any other dredges on
the Coast, but under the circumstances
he was opposed to renewing the contract
believing It should be left to tho in
coming board. Mr. Selling ateo took this
view and said no contract of this kind
should be entered Into without first ad
vertising for bids. On Mr. Adams' mo
tion, the clerk was Instructed to adver
tise for bids for supplying wood from
June 1 for one or two years, at tho option
of the board.
This wound up the work before tho
meeting and the session adjourned slno
