SO
ONE of the distinctive features of
Portland homes Is the beautiful
green lawns -which almost invaria
bly surround the dwelling, like a hand
some frame around a picture. Nowhere
are the lawns more w'ellrkept than on the
East Side. In some cases the houses
are of such recent construction that the
grass plat In front and at the side has
not had time to arrive at Its full beauty.
But with the completion of the house
the improvement of the lawn is almost a
certainty.
Where neighbors are of similar tastes
the boundary fence or hedsre is done !
away with, and for a whole block Is
presented a solid yard of well-clipped
grass, from the edge of the house to the I
cement sidewalk at the street line. The !
fine effect this presents may be seen '
from the picture of the three houses on j
Tillamook street, between East Nine- I
teenth and East Twentieth. Irvlngton, !
the suburb in which these dwellings are
situated, is one of the most attractive
of Portland. Along Its shady streets,
lined with the homes of the well-to-do,
may be seen many a picture of tasteful '
exterior decoration. The houses built In
this district are mostly of modern de
Bign, and good taste and comfort pre- !
valL !
The day of the rococo designs, with i
their grotesque frills and furbelows of '
scrollwork, has apparently passed, and !
the homes now In demand are those of '
a plainer assign, built with more desire '
for comfort and economy. The row of
houses on Tillamook street exemplify the j
new architecture to Its fullest. They ,
have been built to suit the Individual re- !
quirements of the owners and occupants, '
and differ widely from the houses built
by the dozen on similar designs for sale. '
They are owned by Dr. J. R. Weather- ;
bee, A. S. Brasfield and J. H. Banks. j

The recently finished home of John T.
Wilding, on Schuyjer street, also in Irv
ington, was built by the architect for his
own use, and according to designs upon
which he had spent many hours of labor.
Architect Snes for Money. I
Frank Williams, architect, has com- I
znenced suit In Justice Graham's court at
Mount Tabor to recover J25 from Hans
Larsen, alleged to be due for furnishing
plans for a cottage. The papers in the J
case were filed Saturday. It Is alleged '

by Architect Williams that he went to
the trouble to prepare the plans for the
house, for which Larscn agreed to pay
him $25 if they were used. It is set forth
that Larsen used the plans, but did not
empioy Williams to superintend the erec
tion of the building. Hence Williams
claim? the 25. No answer has yet been
filed. There Is a nice point involved, and
architects arc Interested In the outcome,
as they make plans of buildings constantly
under the same circumstances.
MONEY EXCITED HIM.
El Wilson Ih Arrested for Embez
xllnpr Catih From Fellow-Employe.
To; be trusted with $166 was more
temptation than Ed Wilson could stand,
and he is now locked in the City Jail
on a charge of embezzlement.
The complaining witness is Lewis Rat
kowskl, an employe of the lumber mills
at Napavine. He gave Wilson a check
to be cashed for him, and Wilson aonce
started out to drink up the amount.
Falling in this, he 'bought a ticket for
San Francisco, hoping to go where he
would have more time to use up the
cash on hand. Hp was arrested yester
day morning at the Union Depot by De
tective Sam Simmons, Just as the train
was pulling out
"It was just like this," explained Wil
son, who makes no attempt to deny his
guilt "He gave me the check to get
cashed, and I was so drunk that I did
not know what I was doing. We both
work In the same mill at Napavine. I
was going out to Chehalls, and he asked
me to take the check and bring him back
the money. I had some money of my
own, and, as I do not go out very often,
started In to drinking. After I had taken
a few drinks I do not remember any
more. I spent his money the same as if
it had been my own, and in my drunken
condition imagined that I wanted to go
some place. I did not know where I was
buying a ticket to, and when I was ar
rested I did not realize what was hap
pening." Wilson still had $130 of the amount on
his person when he was arrestede. His
actions seem to bear out the statement
that he made concerning the affair. That
he was drunk there can be no doubt for
he was putting on" enough style to well
answer for the old-time "drunk and
dressed-up" character, although he was
not going to Missouri. Large red, white
and blue stringers were flying from his
coat and ribbons and flowers adorned his
person. He was as happy as a man with
money can be, but he is entirely changed
now. "I would give $1000 if I were out of
this," he said yesterday, "but I nave
brought it all upon myself."

The following curious Wdley of speeches

colored charts, showing the human body
and organs In all sorts of sections and
dissections. With Are In his eye and a
frog In his throat, he held forth resolute
ly and loudly, slapping a chart from time
to time and occasionally pouring water
from a Jug on the frog. It was clear that
the" populace cared more for temporal than
spiritual " cure-alls, for the Saints got
only a few stragglers. They Anally gave
up the struggle after distributing a few
tracts.
THE lilies of the field, nor Solomon

a "con man," and an Idol of the North

ornament the Washington street sidewalk
with his portly presence.' In this bric-a-brac
capacity he once "mashed," with a
volley of melting glances, a covey of silly
and idle girls. Thereafter it was a smile
and a bow to an almost dally meeting on
the street Next developed conversation

To such a wild dissipation, one day, a
working-girl acquaintance of the idle
ones was invited. The man was intro

tering attention, which as soon as prac
ticable, developed Into an invitation to the
theater.
The worklng-glrl, quite a-flutter with the
prospect of such a tall, handsome, well
dressed, perfect gentleman for a "steady,"
did not at first give heed to a certain at
mosphere about him which, while it had
the charm of mystery t was yet somehow
repcllant.
Between the flrst two acts the following
conversation was overheard.
He Say what do you work for?
She I have to.
He No you don't, I make a good living
but I ain't no such mark as to have to

She I mustbe a "mark," for I don't

And the conductor helped her aboard
while the bold, bad, beautiful man said
sweet things under his breatn.
Now. the sequel to this true tale Is as
follows: When the hereinbefore mentioned
silly girls again met their lordly "mash"
they passed him by with an unseeing
stare. But a man of "brains" Is not to be
bowled over by any covey of silly girls,
therefore "brains" exerting Its limbs to
the frightful speed of two miles an hour
managed to overtake the girls and accost

Having got their attention he dilated
further, waxing quite circumstantial. In
spite of themselves the young women
were Impressed, though they had enough
sense to decline further acquaintance with
the man. They were also kind enough to
tell the victim of them all. what the

SWEPT OUT BY THE TIDE
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF ACT
ORS WHO GO ROWING.
Violet Dale, Mm. Dale and Joseph
Gottlob Have a Narrow Es
cape at Tocoma.
Joseph Gottlob. who managed the re
cent tour of the Daly Company, which
closed here Saturday night, tells a thrill
ing story of an experience which Miss
Violet Dale, her mother and himself had
last Thursday at Tacoma. The affair was
a real adventure and one which neither of
the participants would repeat for a million
or two.
"We were at Point Defiance, on the
beach near Tacoma, and after lunch Miss
Dale proposed that we go for a row," said
Mr. Gottlob, with a reminiscent shudder.
"Now, while I profess to know something
about the show business, as an 'Ancient
Mariner' I was never able to get Inside
the money. I told them I couldn't row a
boat and was too old to learn. I hoped
this would settle it, but Miss Dale in
sisted that she was a child wonder with
the oara Well, we started, Mrs. Dale,
Voilet and I, and all went well for about
a minute. The boatman gave us a misera
ble old boat, without a rudder and with
a nerve-racking tendency to spill us all
out into the briny. We didn't know any
better, however, and determined to see
the thing through. Out beyond the point
we swept like an ocean liner and all went
very well 'till we discovered that we
were making entirely too much speed for
the amount of energy applied to the pars.
I was watching the water and didn't
notice, but Miss Dale while she pulled
at the oars kept her eyes on the land.
All at once she gave a startled little
gasp and announced that the tide was
taking us to sea and that If we were
lucky we'd probably land on the coast
of Siberia. The 'Circus Girl' turned the
boat around and tried to make for land
but in spite of her efforts we still raced
toward the far side of the Pacific. The
shore was growing Indistinct In the dis
tance and Miss Dale, completely exr
hausted. threw down the oars and be
came hysterical. I took them and pulled
until I was purple In the face, but my
efforts didn't seem to avail a thing. Miss
Dale undertook to scream for help, al
though we couldn't see anybody nearer
than the beach, which seemed a very long
way off. 'Don't do that," protested' her
mother, 'don't scream like that You'll
ruin your voice.'
" 'No she won't She hasn't any voice.'
I suggested, who was too badly winded to
raise a 'holler. The boat was pitching like
a Tacoma street-car, the ladles were terror-stricken,
and I began to think of the
newsboys calling 'extra and of what

the fishes would do to us. Suddenly, Prov
idence, In the shape of a couple of fisher
men In a lifeboat hove In sight They
had a hard time catching us but finally
came alongside and took us In tow. Wo
were so glad to see those fishermen that
we said all sorts of things and worked in
the old gag about saving our lives, etc.
"They proposed that we drift with the
tide until it turned, which would be
sometime in the evening, and ride back
with It We were down for our stunt that
night at Tacoma so that was out of the
question for we needed the money. The
fishermen then said they would pull down
the coast and land us as It was Impossible
to get back through the narrows. Well,
they put us ashore at last eight miles
from town. It was absolutely necessary
that Miss Dale go on that evening, so all
that we did was to walk that eight miles
back to Tacoma. Oh, no, we weren't tired
nor anything like that, but we got to
the theater before the overture and the
audience didn't know the wild things
the leading lady had been doing. Miss Dale
may be a great sailor, but If I was hand
ing out medals I'd overlook her and trust
myself In a boat with her never again.
Mr. Gottlob, who Is manager of the
Columbia Theater at San Francisco, left
for that city last night. He herolcally
forebore using this story as "advance
copy," for the Daly Company disbanded
here, and he only told It as he was leaving
the city.
Thirty Shot to Kill a Bear.
Port Orford Tribune.
Harry and Tom Guerln. with a friend,
were in the woods in the vicinity of
Eckley, a few days ago. when they caught
sight of a email bear. The bear started to
run and the men after it making plenty of
noise as they went. The bear soon ran
up a tree and then his troubles com
menced. Each of the men was armed with
a 32-callber "dissolver," and hostilities at
once commenced, but as the bear was on
a limb 60 feet from the ground, more than
30 shots were fired before he finally
tumbled from his lofty perch; but after
five bullets had entered his hide Bruin
took a 60-foot drop and thus his troubles
enoed.
