EMPIRE THEATER, Twelfth and Morrison-Vaudeville. He Had No Mathematical Bump. A business man of this city, who has man aged to acquire possession o a consider able area, of Iapd In various parts of Mult nomah County, but who has had little to do with land surveying or measuring of surfaces of any kind, has of late been in trouble on this account. He has been trying to sell some small tracts and has had hard work to find out the dimen sions of an acre. One of his friends told him that a block In this city 200 feet square was an acre, and another said the block Included 15 feet of the street, and an acre was 215 feet square. Another told him that acres were not measured by feet, but by chains and links, or rods, poles end perches. "When he looked In an encyclopedia he found that the Eng lish, Scotch and Irish acres were different, the Irish acre being much the largest, which he imagined was the reason that the Irish wanted the earth. America being so much larger than Ireland helmaglned tbe American acre ought to be larger than the Irish acre and this caused so many Irishmen to come to this country to get more land. Finally he applied to a sur veyor and was told that the American statute acre contained 160 square xodL or 4S40 square yards, or 43,560 ' square eet. and that a square acre measured 208.72. nearly 208 feet 9 Inches on each side. This was getting the matter do.wn to within his comprehension and he figured up that a ten-acre tract would be ten times as long and ten times as wide as one acre, but when he was told that a tract that size would contain 100 acres he gave It up and decided not to sell any land until he had acquired some knowledge of surveying. Wide Market for Oregon Butter. A merchant who handles butter on a large scale said yesterday that notwithstanding the complaints from dairymen in all sec tions of the difficulty of procuring labor, there was no fear of a butter famine In Portland in the near future. "Of course," said he, "If cheap labor could be procured to clear up land and Increase the area of pasturage and the fodder supply, the out put of butter could be greatly Increased, and the price might be lower. Much more might be exported, for there Is a wide market open to Oregon butter. As things are at present not half the butter handled In Portland Is consumed here. It Is shipped over a large part of Eastern Ore gon. Pendleton, Baker City. Sumpter, La Grande and other places. Much goes to the Gray's Harbor country, and also to Puget Sound, notwithstanding, that at Seattle It comes In direct competition with Eastern butter, which keeps the price down. Some butter is also sent to Alaska and a trade Is growing up with China and Japan, and some shipments have been made to Eastern Siberia. Oregon ought to nroduce butter enoueh to sjinnlv thp en tire Pacific Coast demand and to fill all orders from the growing trade In the Orient. This will be done by and by. Cheap labor will, however, have to be brought In from China to clear land or farm products of all kinds will soon be away behind the demand, and the men who prefer loafing around dives In the North End to working on farms, will have to live on bread without butter. Hard Task Tp Mora Bia Store. Even' one who has gone through the process of "moving," that Is in the way of changing the residence of his family, remembers the experience with horror, and never again wants-to hear of moving day. The moving of a wholesale mercantile estab lishment Is, however, a more formidable task, as a firm in this city ha3 begun to find out. It has had ten teams and 30 extra men employed for tho past two weeks, and has moved about 0 tons of goods a day, and hopes to get through In two or three weeks more. By the time the teams and the men are paid off. It Is not certain whether there will be any thing left or not, and the partners are beginning to look in the face of the prob lem of beginning life anew from their original starting point. "When In their new quarters, they will have the best store of the kind on the Coast. So they feel that they will begin life under more favorable auspices than at first, and with the aid of the experience of years will be able to make money faster than before. The experiment will be an interesting one and will be watched with interest by many. Held for Postaoe.

Report ers In their search for news or something to afford interest, information or amuse ment to the readers- of their "stuff." often run across people who know more about many things than they do. but the num ber who can impart Information correctly is not large. Consequently the reporter occasionally gets into trouble. A state ment recently published in regard to a de cline in the price of railroad ties in this section is a case in point, the statement supposed to be correct having been dis puted by parties who asserted that the price of ties had not declined, and that there was no foundation for, nor truth, In the statemenL Now comes a man who says that the price of railroad ties has lately declined from 30 cents to 23 cents. This is owing to some disarrangement of the business relations between the O. R. & N. Co. and the Short Line- It appears that the O. R. & N. Co. has for some time been buying ties In this region for the Short Line, but that now the Short Line has an agent here buying ties for It, and that a lot of ties from Lewis River are being loaded at Alblna for the Short Line. These are the clean-up of Lewis River mills for last season, and the price has gone down from 20 to 2S cents. It is further stated that -a mill on the Columbia has contracted to supply the Short Line with 100,000 ties at 2S cents each. The price of ties Is a matter of no consequence to anybody except those Interested In mak ing, or selling, or buying them, and no one else would have any object in misrep resenting the price. If the Short Line gets 100,000 ties at a reduction of 2 cents in .price that company saves $2000, and that is all there is about It. It appears that the statement In regard to the price of ties declining from 30 to 23 cents each was a correct one. One of a Judicial Famlt. J. Ross Thompson, solicitor of the Pennsylvania Railroad for 43 years, and the Pennsyl vania Company for 33 years at Erie, Pa., is in the city on a flying trip, having stopped off at the Portland on his return East from Seaside. He came West -with C M. Conrad, J. W. Sproul and Louis Rosenswelg. all of Erie, to examine the Iron Dyke copper mine In Eastern Oregon, but he left his friends to make the arduous trip while he came to the coast. Mr. TJhompson comes of a family of Judges, his father, James Thompson, hav ing been Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and his brother Samuel Gustlne, having served 15 years on the Supreme bench of that state by appointment He, himself, only escaped by one vote from attaining the same honor, for he was a pnnrlMntA on rtio r Democratic ticket in 1SS7. when two judges were to be elected, and he fell only one vote behind the second success ful candidate.

The pesthouse is vacant, except for one light case of small pax, which strayed In from about The Dalles, but will soon be discharged.

Cronamnn Sold Papers In 3iIItvnukee. Ex-Postmaster A. B. Croasman. who Is on a visit to his old home, Milwaukee. "Wis., receives a notice In the Evening Wisconsin, of that city, which says: "Forty years ago a stentorian-voiced newsboy shouted "extras", on the streets of -Milwaukee concerning the newest de velopment of theWar of the Rebellion. Today he returned to Milwaukee, as Mr. Croasman of Oregon, with something else to sell. This time $1,000,000 worth of 'lum ber In the State of Oregon. He hails from Portland, Or., where he has made his home for many years. Until last March he was postmaster of the city. Now he is connected with a large lum bering concern and his mission home at this time Is to dispose of timber." Mr. Croasman's friends here will be sur prised to learn that he is such a relic of antiquity.. Nothing Is said of how many years he resided at Salem, nor when his term as postmaster of this city, which ended last March, commenced. It is probable that he Is Interested in snmp timber-land dpAl. anr tfcnt- Vi lng to sell timber land, and not timber nor mmoer. "Milwaukee was the point where the drafting for the whole state took place," said Mr. Croasman today, "and I remem ber very well the demand there was out in the state for the Wisconsin. Every man In the state wanted a paper at that time If he never wanted one before. We used to get postage stamps for the paper and the air was literally green with the stamps when the train stopped at the sta tions along the line. We used to get the papers unfolded and I had to get a couple of men to help me fold. The crowds at tho depot were so great that Con ductor LaRock refused to let me get off. I had to telegraph a head to find out the number of papers wanted and I would have them ready for them. "Milwaukee has certainly grown since I left the city and I can see the city. Is prosperous."

MARIE WARE IN FICTION ACCUSED OF LWEXTIXG HOME STEADER AXD WITNESSES. GoTeraaeat Seeks to In-ralldate Pat eat Alleged to Have BeeB Ob tained by Fraad Through Her. Another suit to set aside a patent for 1C0 acres of land was filed In the United States District ;Court yesterday by the United States against Robert G. Tupman. William A. Peters, M. F. Henderson and P- F. Woodford. This Is one more case wherein the affidavit of cultivation and notice of Intention to make final "proof was made before Marie "U.IWare, United States Commissioner at Eugene. The complaint recites that on April 5. IS01. a person pretending to be Robert G. i upman made application at the United States Land Office at Roseburg to enter as a homestead the 160 acres of land: that subsequently the affidavit of cultivation, eta, was made before Marie L. Ware, stating that residence would be proved by two of the following "witnesses. Robert Simpson, William B. Abbott, Samuel L. Carson and George E. Thomoson. all said to be residents of Cottage Grove. Robert blmpson and George E. Thompson, al leged to be fictitious persons, were the names used as witnesses in behalf of Robert G. Tupman, also an alleged flctl tlous person. The title Is now claimed by wuuam A. Peters, P. F. Woodford and M. F. Henderson, through the patent is sued In the name of Tupman. The court Is ?.sked to cancel the patent and declare It void. MARaCAM TAX SUIT ARGUED. LTivryerji Contend That Compromise Cannot Be Reopened. The question of the legality of the com promise of taxes, Including mortgage taxes on the Marquam property, amount ing to JI1.O0O. for $15,000 was argued yes terday before Judge Cleland In the suit of Multnomah County against the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, J. Thorburn Ross et al. The compromise was made several years ago by a former board of County Commissioners, after considerable litigation over some of the taxes. The county won the suit in the lower court. and the Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany, which managed the Marquam prop erty as trustee, filed notice of appeal ..o the Suprem Court. As one of the terms of the compromise the appeal was dis missed. Attorneys W. A. Munly and John K. Kollock. for the defense, argued that the settlement effected with the county was final and a future County Board cannot lawfully set It aside several years later and pros:ute the present action in the State Circuit Court to recover more money. Counsel urged that, admitting tor tho purposes of the argument that the compromise could be set aside, then the county must return to the Title Guar antee & Trust Company all. It had re ceived, every consideration for the com promise. The agreement to dismiss the appeal to the Supreme Court in the tax litigation war much of a consideration as anything else. The right of appeal had long since expired and could not be re stored, so the county was unable to re turn all it had received. This being the case, the settlement cannot now be ques tioned. The attorney also contended that in no event can the order of compromise be cancelled. The history of the previous litigation was discussed at some length. In behalf of Multnomah County, Charles H. Carey made a long argument from a contrary standpoint. He disputed the au thority of the former County Board to make the settlement which it did, and attacked the regularity of the proceeding In many ways, also reading numerous authorities. Judge Cleland took the case under ad visement. COUNTY DRAWS FIRST BLOOD. Wins on Lepsnl Points In Salt Aprainnt First National Bank. Judge Cleland yesterday. In the suit of Multnomah County against the First Na tional Bank, to recover tax certificates amounting to $7000 transferred for county warrants, sustained the demurrer to the separate defenses. Tho warrants In ques tion were regularly Issued by order of the County Court, but it was subsequently ascertained that the County Commission ers had caused the warrants to be Issued on worthless road time checks without knowing the checks were forgeries. The bank purchased the warrants in good faith In the ordinary course of business, but notwithstanding this fact the State Circuit Court declared them void. Ignor ing the decision of the State Circuit Court, the former County Court gave the bank tax certificates for the warrants. The present action was brought to ob tain a return of the tax certificates or their value on the ground that the coun ty officials never had authority to trans fer them to the bank. The bank set up in its answer -that It obtained the warrants In good faith for value, and they were Indorsed by the County Treasurer "not paid for want of funds"; that this gave the bank reason able grounds In a court of equity to claim that the County Court, in view of the circumstances, might compromise, which wa3 done. Judge Cleland held that county warrants, as has been decided by the Supreme Court, do not have the qual ity of negotiable paper and are void in the hands of any holder if Issued Illegal ly; that, therefore, the bank cannot claim that any consideration whatever existed for the order of settlement that was Is sued. The tax certificates on such a void consideration would still belong to the county. As a second defense. It was contended that the county caused A. H. Maegley to Institute the suit to haye the warrants declared void, and had paid him for his services, and that thus the suit was col lusive and not binding on the bank. The court held that the bank had notice and appeared in this suit. and. therefore, pro tected Its rights, and the court at that time enjoined the collection of the war rants and declared them void. So the latter was held not to be a good defense. The county has won out In this action In the preliminary battle. The final hear ing and decision will probably take .place In the September term of court. GOSS3IAN WANTS LIBERTY. Lawyers Use ICinks In Larv to Get Him Ont of Jail. Attorneys Ed Mendenhall and B. M. Smith filed a petition for a writ of ha beas corpus yesterday for the purpose of obtaining the release of R. C. Gossman. who was placed under bonds to keep the peaco by Municipal Judge Hogue a week ago. Gossman made a practice of annoy ing his former wife, from whom he Is legally separated by a divorce decree in her favor. She is now the wife of D. C. Burns, the well-known grocer. Gossman was arrested on a charge of threatening to kill, and the point which will be raised in the habeas corpus proceeding is that the evidence taken In the Municipal Court was not reduced to writing, aa the statute requires, and that the man Is illegally de tained in custody. Gossman Is also held on a charge of burglary In breaking Into Burns' house on Mill street. The plan of the attorneys Is first to have the commitment on the threatenlng-to-kllUcharge declared void, and then to give ball on the burglary charge. This course, if successfully pur sued, will obtain for Gossman bis liberty. GILLEX'S LOVING WATS. Divorced Because He Got Drank aaa Smashed ThlBsrs. Josephine Glllen was divorced from. Thomas Glllen yesterday by Judge George because of, cruel treatment. Mrs. GIHea testified that her husband squandered his money in drink, choked and beat her, and once threw water over her, and on an other occasion smashed a valuable mir ror and threatened to demolish the piano with a hatchet. She stated that, on Thanksgiving day, la the year 1900. he took a roast goose from the dinner-table and flung it against the wall, and after ward struck her with his fist. They -were married In Chicago In ISC The plaintiff was awarded the custody of two minor children. Judge "George granted Lorens C. Fenn a divorce from Lenora Fenn. cn account of desertion beginning In April. 1900. They were married at Loo mis. Wash., in 1S33. In the divorce suit of Bertha E. Roots against Thomas A. Roots, Judge Cleland made an order yesterday requiring- the defendant to pay J25 Into court for costs and attorney's fees, with leave for plain tiffs counsel to apply for more on the day of trial. Mrs. Roots charges her hus band with Infidelity, and namesjFlorence Davis and Grace Holcomb as corespond ents.

C. Smith. ONE VIEW OF THE POLICE Stursestions for Improvement In Law and Also Enforcement. PORTLAND. July 3L (To the Editor.) It seems to the writer, and many others, that the citizens of Portland are being made a parrot and monkey show of. Law seems simply to be used In a game of battledore and shuttlecock. We presume that so long as office-seekers must have (or think they must) the votes of the gambler and dlvekeeper to retain office, this condition will continue, unless the people are given power to help them selves. We remember how our Governor petitioned the Police Commission to let the gamblers continue to break the law, and was elected District Attorney. Then we remember how he did not prosecute the gambler.any to hurt, and was elected Governor. It seems to pay. But while there seems to be a dual standard In morals, or sentiment; the private senti ment that the vast majority have against law-breaking occupations, and the public sentiment there seems to be when the law-breakers' tools are elected to office, yet we believe that the consent of the general public is gained through the argu ment of party necessity. The gambler and dlvekeeper must be placated so as to get their votes and kee-the other rascals out. There Is no question In the mind of the general public but the law-breakers could be controlled and the city made fit to live In. if the law enforcers (?) desired to en force law. The writer believes, with many others, that If Chief Hunt was handed the book of the law and told to enforce every ordinance, or quit, and to discharge any one who failed to carry out his orders, our city would soon be safe'and orderly. Now for a suggestion. If we had a law that any two reputable citizens making a complaint, to the proper officer, of any law breaking, could require the enforce ment of the law against such law-breaker, and that Jn the event the officer failed to fulfill the conditions of his oath of office any two reputable citizens could appeal to the Circuit Court and upon establlshlnc- the fact with tho Judge, not Jury the delinquent officer of the law should be Impeached thrown out summarily and debarred from holding office or exercising his franchise for ten years; If we had such a law we believe that the decent citizen would disturb the dream of our present kind of office-holders more than the gambler or dlvekeeper. disturbs his dreams now. It would give him a chance to regard his oath of office. This may sound severe, but It is a scan dalous condition we have fallen Into. riiT- East Side Justice makes It well nigh uiiawuua. r. .

ManuftSLCturers of Bla.ck Dress Goods, "Cravenette' Cloths; Woolens, Mohairs, etc C A WORD FOR THE SADLY ABUSED PIANO. Like Other Finely Constructed or Highly Organized Pos sessions, They Need Care. The tea-rose perishes where the sturdy sweet briar thrives; the racehorse comes to grief or fails, where the drafthorse flourishes; the automobile breaks down where the steam roller holds out. It la a well-established fact that the more highly organized anythins Is, the creater the care It demands. Even so carefully protected an instrument as a watch re quires periodical overhauling and read Justing. The owner of a bicycle, an auto mobile or other fine vehicle Is particular to have It well cleaned and cared for. Yet many people who possess fine pianos "ut terly disregard their needs, apparently thinking so long as they will give forth a sound they require no attention. Need Care No piano, no matter how fine the make, will remain in tune, or produce as fine a tone, unless it is cared for. It is one of the most delicately constructed Instru ment. There are approximately 100 pieces In the action of each key. These consist or ivory, wood, metal, wire. leatner, ciotn and felt, every piece of which plays an active and Important pare in conveying to the string the motion originated by strikmg the key. Every one of these pieces must be seasoned, fitted and ad justed exactly, so aa to prevent swelling, friction, stretching, warping, etc Multi ply this by the number of keys Jn a piano ana you nave cignt thousand eignt nun- area pieces in the piano's action alone. There are al30 eight joints In the action of each key, which makes seven hundred and four joints In all. which must always be ready to respond to the touch on the keys with a nuick, elastic action. There Is. too, the highly tempered strings, drawn always at a high tension across the won derful sounding board, which gives volume to the fine tone they produce and the tnicKuess or wnicn must Be graduated to correspond with the string In front of it. Then the outside case of the piano, mado of the finest wood, carved and polished till It rivals a mirror. When they are properly rubbed and pol ished, these instruments made the hand somest and most beautiful pieces of fur niture that can adorn a home, as well as being the means or the greatest enjoyment and highest culture. A cultivated ear quickly recognizes defects In the tone of a piano. But If the little defects are neg lected and allowed to grow and Increase as tney surely win. especially 1C the -piano is. used by various people, the car be comes accustomed to the defects, and that nice discrimination wnlch permits the nignest enjoyment or music, is destroyed The "bloom Is gone from the piano. Care for It Properly. A llttlo proper care at the right time win Keep a piano up to the standard to which it was originally constructed, and will make It a satisfactory possession for a uieume. fliers fiano Mouse is prepared at all times to do anything In this line. from removing a scratch to placing an ac tion or a sounding-board, anything.

Charges Moderate.
