Progress in Street Impbovemext.
There is a strong probability that the long
delayed repair of the asphalt pavement
on Morrison street will be completed soon.
The Trinidad Asphalt Company has been
doing good -work In the -way of repairing
lately and has one side o the lower sec
tion of Third street about completed. The
-work has been delayed a little by build
ing material occupying one side of Third
street between Ankeny and Bumside
streets, but the contractors have promised
to clear it. away, so that the street could
be put to rights last night. Superintend
ent Taylor hopes to have a stripping gang
at work on Morrison street today, and to
begin repairing the pavement between
Third and Front tomorrow. He will make
quick -work -with this section, taking up
the north side of the street first, so as
not to blockade it, and it -will be only a
few days till the pavement on Morrison
street will be In good order from Front
to Fifth, for the first time In no one
knows how long. Washington street Is
beginning to look as it should, and the
City & Suburban Railway Company had
a gang of 30 men and a steam concrete
mixer at work on Yamhill between Sec
ond and Third, yesterday. The paving of
that block with preserved wood bl6cks
will soon be completed. The block be
tween Second and First is completed.
When heavy grooved rails are laid ha
concrete, and the surface of the street
paved with wood blocks set right up
against the rails, with no raged lines of
stone blocks along the tracks, the street
will look about as well and is as smooth
to drive over as if there were no railway
tracks on it. If care is taken to replace
any defective blocks, or any which may
give way, the pavement" on Yamhill can
be kept as smooth and easy for vehicles
to cross as can be desired for many years.
New Species op Apple. There are some
bright geniuses among the motormen on
the Woodstock electric line. One of them
has a fruit ranch in the Klickitat country,
and occasionally goes there to see how
the woolly aphis, codlin moth and other
friends of the fruitgrower are flourish
ing. His associates on the line rather
enjoy guying him when he returns, and
do their best to make life enjoyable to
hlra. They have lately discovered that
he has a new variety of apple on his
ranch, called the "cider sponge." The
peculiar property of this apple is thaf
one going out early in the morning, be
fore the sun is up can squeeze from each
of them a large cupful of cool, refresh
ing and delicious cider. During the re
mainder of the day the fruit hangs as
destitute of moisture and as flabby as a
squeezed sponge, but at night It fills with
cider again, and is ready to yield another
refreshing draught in the morning. They
say this rare and wonderful apple was
produced by grafting a liar onto a elder
press, from connection with which he even
tually escaped with the loss of a limb,
but whether It was a leg or an arm Is not
stated. The ranchman admits that the
story is true, and says lie Is planning to
increase the number of his cider sponge
apple trees. He is having a lot of cheap
cider presses set out on his ranch, and
says he will have no trouble in finding
enough liars among the motormen on the
Woodstock line to graft them all.
Rrsii to Pat "Water Rates, Quiet
reigned at the waterworks office yester
day, after the hurry and bustle of col
lecting water rates for the month. The
rates have been paid up more closely
than UBual this month. Monday was the
v ast of the ten days of grace allowed, and
on that day there wps -a-grand rush. The
pecple stood in line at both desks all day
long, sometimes the whole length of the
long room, most of the time 50 in the
string, and never less than a dozen. As
the average water rate Is $1.40. and $4200
was taken In Monday, It can be imag
ined that a good many water consumers
were waited upon. Many who have a large
water rate to pay put it oft to the 10th.
and increase the rush on that day. The
average rate of $1.40 docs not Include
fprinKllng. and some family rates for
large residences are $4 to $3. The sprink
ling bill runs up quite high In places, the
highest bill on a double block being $14.
MnjroBY Fails as to Dates. William
Braden. who has been Inspecting the con
struction and maintenance of sewers for
the past 6 years, has gone to Tillamook
for a vacation, and to Indulge his taste
for trout-fishing and clam-digging. He
said Just before leaving that this was the
first vacation for him in X years. The
ether deputies In the City Engineer's of
fice say he forgets dates occasionally, and
that when he went on his vacation last
j car ho said it was the first he had had In
12 years. He takes his vacation regularly
and is entitled to It. He can catch more
trout and get obstructions out of more
pewers than any of the gay young depu
ties v.ho would like to Jolly him about his
vacation statements.

Death of Mrs. Jennie Alb right. Mrs.
uennle Albright, wife of G. A. Albright,
died at the family residence. 301 Sellwood

and heart disease about three months. Mr
and Mrs. Albright were married in Al
blna. she being a native of Oregon. The
funeral will be held from the Evangelical
Church In Upper Albina at 2 oclock this
afternoon.
Appropriate Cioar Sign. One of the
prettiest and most suitable signs imag
inable for a cigar store was seen yester
day In the shape of a tobacco plant grow
ing in a pot. Such signs are not com
mon, and most of those displayed are
rather scrubby-looking plants. The one
seen yesterday was a large and thrifty
specimen, about as fine as could be grown
in a pot, and Just coming into bloom.
feor Shot bt Flatmate. R. Livingstone,
-Ahe young son of President R. Living
stone, of the Chamber of Commerce, was
painfully hurt yesterday by being struck
in the left eye by a ball from an alrgun
accidentally discharged" by one of his
Playmates. Dr. R, Nunn was summoned
and found that the injury, while painful,
will probably not result In the loss of
the eye.
New Feott in Season. The very last of
late cherries are In the market, and a
little too long kept to be nice. Grapes
are coming in to take their places, but
the varieties arriving so far are small and
not desirable. Oregon tomatoes, fresh,
plump and ripe, are becoming plentiful
and reasonable 'In price, and they are
throwing all imported ones in the shade.
Low Excursion rates will again be
placed in effect by the Northern Pacific on
August IS, 19, 25 and 26 to points East and
return. Tickets will be good for stop

Savz Monet bt Not Bathing. It seems
Impossible that any one civilized enough
to live in a house would have the bath
tub disconnected, to save the 50 cents
water rate, and yet the plumbing inspec
tor is kept busy looking after people who
not only do this, but employ a cheap tin
smith, and neglect entirely to seal the
waste-pipe connecting with the sewer. In
this way the trap soon goes dry, and the
sewer gas has admission to the house.
Many such cases would never be found
out were it not necessary to report the
disconnection to the water offlce in order
to get the 50-cent rebate on the water
bill. The report Is turned over to the
plumbing inspector, and he investigates
and sees that the waste-pipe is properly
sealed. In many small houses where the
bathtub Is disconnected In this manner
the bathroom is small, and In some pro
jection or out-of-the-way corner, and
the tub is used as a storehouse for cloth
ing, and sometimes a bed is made on top
of the tub. The prospect of a family liv
ing in such a house, with no bathtub and
the sewer gas having free entrance
through the unsealed waste pipe, must
be very favorable for typhoid fever and
other disease. Only a plumbing Inspector
knows what chances of contracting dis
ease some people will take to prevent a
little expenditure. Yesterday a hard ef
fort was being made to get him to grant
an extension of time for closing up a
vault where there were sewers on every
side. He said ample time had been al
lowed for this, and the owner of the prop
erty must .either close the vault or move
out, Such" vaults were not allowed Inside
the city limits. There was no other in
the blook. and none could be allowed, and
It must be closed at once. The applicant
for the extension endeavored, to make
out that the vault had been complained
of as a piece of spltework, but there was
only one answer. It is contrary to law
and It must be closed, and at once. When
people want to live without bathtubs and
with vaults about, they ought to remove
to Tlmbuctoo.
Where Did the Logan Berrt Origi
nate? In mentioning the fact a day or
two ago that a new berry, a cross be
tween the blackberry and dewberry, had
Just been brought out in California, a
comparison was made with the Logan
berry, a cross between the blackberry
and raspberry, "which it was stated had
been originated in Oregon. This It ap
pears was an error, owing to the writer
of the paragraph not being an expert on
berries in any regard except that of eat
ing them. Three persons have hastened
to call attention to the mistake, but there
is a discrepancy in their statements which
leaves the origin of the berry still prac
tically in doubt. One says it was origi
nated by General Logan; of California;
another tfiat this honor belongs to Dr.
Logan, of Arkansas. The third states
that it was accidentally originated by
Judge J. D. Logan, of California, while
trying to cross blackberries, the rasp
berry having stolen a march on him. The
Logan berry was first grown in Oregon
in the Magoon nursery, on Gravelly Hill,
in 1SSL the first berries ripening in 1SS2,
but Just where it was obtained is not defi
nitely known. The Oregonlan would like
to correct any error it may have made,
but under the circumstances does not see
exactly how this is to be done. And as
so many fine fruits have been originated
in Oregon, and so many which have been
originated elsewhere have been Improved
after being Introduced by the climate and
soil of Oregon, it is only natural to sup
pose that all superexcellent fruits and
berriers have been originated .here. So
the statement will be allowed to stand as
made for the present.
Multnomah Club Excursion. The very
word of "low Jinks' to a Multnomah mnn
means more than tongue can tell. It is a
quiet, gentlemanly stag picnic Its repu
tation has traveled far beyond the limits
of Portland. It has worked on the feel
ings of the women friends of the members,
and they have all expressed the greatest
desire to attend them. So the boys, Just
to show the girls that their hearts are in
the right place, have decided to share
with them their usual annual outing this
year. The "low Jinks" will give way to a
good old-fashioned basket picnic for the
members and their friends. The club has
chartered the Gatzert for Sunday, August
16. for a trip up the Columbia through the
locks and back to Bonneville, where an
opportunity will be given to land and en
joy a quiet lunch under the shade of that
beautiful grove. This outing promises to
be one of those affairs, perfect in every
detail, for which the Multnomah Club has
for many years been famous. It will be a
day of quiet rest and enjoyment. Those
wishing to attend will be able to procure
their tickets at either the club or the
boat's offlce at the foot of Alder street.
As the capacity of the boat is limited it
would be well for those who expect to
attend to secure their tickets at once.
Permanent Exhibit Moves. The offlce
and permanent exhibit of the State Board
of Horticulture has been removed from
the Chamber of Commerce to the second
floor of the Mohawk building, corner of
Third and Morrison streets, where Secre
tary George Lamberson will be found
ready for business. The exhibit of min
erals is in position, and the exhibits of
grains and fruits in Jars will be moved in
this week. The room is smaller than the
one formerly occupied on Washington
street, and there will be no wall space
for exhibits of grains and grasses, and
only such exhibits of this kind as can be
kept In glass cases, will hereafter be
taken In. .It is found that sheaves of
grains arranged on the -walls are mainly
attractions for rats and mice, and will
therefore have to be left out of the pres
ent exhibit. The best possible exhibit of
grasses and fruits, preserved and in
glasses, will be displayed, and all friends
of the exhibit are invited to send in choice
specimens.
Tommy Rtan Fined $15. After a lot of

.guilty to the charge of frequenting an
opium joint ana was fined $15 by Munici
pal Judge Ho'gue yesterday morning.
Ryan's suit of $1000 against the officer
for damages has not yet been .officially
heard of.

SCHOOLS TEACH TOO LITTLE
Senator Miller Tarns Attention From
Politic to Education.
M. A. Miller. State Senator of Linn
County, has been taking in the metropoli
tan eights of Portland for several days.
Mr. Miller is a Democrat, as thoroughly
dyed in the precepts of the party as any
disciple of Jefferson. Last year he de-
ieaica jrercy . Kelly, of Albany. In the
fight for. election to the Legislature. Mr.
Miller is on outspoken protestor against
the expanded curricula in the public
schools. -Our schools, in trying to teach
too much, teach too little." is his senti
ment. Yesterday he gave vent to his opin
ion by citing one example. At the recent
civil service examinations In the Federal
building, one person misspelled 17 words
out of 20. and another ten out of 20. Mr
Mllltr believes in getting back closer to
reading, writing, arithmetic and spelling.
"Spare roe." said he when asked whs
Linn County had gone Republican In the
last election. "I'm out of politics, entirely
out, 1 Just came to Portland on a small
matter of bustness. When I come down
next time I may have something for a
newspaper item. Please excuse me to
day." Visitors to Portland

NOT A VOTE FOR MILES
OREGO IS FOR BLACK FOR C03C-MAXUER-1N-CHIEF.
Grand Army Men's Admiration for
Mile's Tinged With Rejcret Those
Who Go to Encampment.
It Is not likely that General Miles will
get a single vote from" the Oregon dele
gation for Commander-in-Chief of the
Grand Army at the National encampment
which opens in San Francisco on Monday.
On the contrary, it is predicted that a
solid vote will be cast for General John
C Black. ex-Commissioner of Pensions.
Veterans are reluctant to discuss the
reasons for their opposition to Miles, but
their admiration for his splendid military
record seems to bo tinged with regret
that he has allowed his vanity and polit
ical ambition to tarnish his fame as a
soldier. His course during and since the
Spanish War is strongly condemned by
old soldiers, who well know how close he
has gone to insubordination in stirring up
trouble for the Administration.
This state will be well represented at
the National encampment. In addition to
the department officers, who are ex-oflSclo
members of the National encampment,
there will be three delegates and three
alternates, and nine of the 15 living past
department commanders, who are ex
officlo members fcr life, will attend. The
department officers who will attend are:
Commander D. H. Turner, of Newberg;
Senior Vice-Commander T. B. McDevltt,
of Portland; Assistant Adjutant-General
J. E. Mayo, of Portland. The delegates
are: H. Sutcliffe. of Portland: L. W. In
gram, of Oregon City, and B. F. Pike, of
Moro. The alternates are: H. S. Allen
and Jacob Decker-bach, of Portland, and
Thomas Dealer, of Astoria. The past de
partment commanders who wljl attend
are: G. E. Caukln, O. Summers, H. H.
Northup, C. P. Holloway, J. A. Sladen, ot
Portland; F. H. Lamb, now of San Fran
cisco. J. C. Cooper, of McMinnvlIle; S. B.
Ormsby, of Salem, and E. W. Allen, of
Los Angeles.
Others who will go are: Judge Advocate
L G. Darr. color-bearer; A. C. Edmunds,
General Compson, Commander Nevlns, A.

General Summers has already gone, ac
companied by his wife and son, and Mr.
McDevltt, Mr. Caukln and Mr. Sutcliffe will
also be accompanied by their wives. The
headquarters staff and most of the dele
gates will leave here tomorrow night,
others going today and Saturday, those
being the days on which the excursion
rates apply.
The. department headquarters of Oregon
will be established at the Occidental Hotel,

BAD FOk WATER MAINS.
Escaping
Electric Fluid
Pipes.
Destroys
That the water pipes are Injured by
the electric fluid flowing from the wires
of the streetVcar lines Is riow thoroughly
believed by the members of the Water
Board. At the meeting yesterday after
noon the report of George J. Walker, the
superintendent of the telegraph system of
the fire department and the City Electri
cian was read. In which he told the board
that electrolysis had certainly destroyed
several pipes which had been specially
tested for the purpose of ascertaining the
truth. A piece of pipe now on exhibition
in the water offlce confirmed the report's
findings.
Though the street-car companies have
been repeatedly notified of the danger to
the water pipes from Improperly insulated
wires, tho managers have paid little at
tention to the demands made upon them.
Manager F. I. Fuller, of the Portland
Railway Company,N has, It seems,' ac
knowledged that portions of tho water
pipes had been damaged by tho escap
ing current, but he ctenled that other
parts had been so injured.
How to forcibly bring the condition and
the Increasing danger to the minds of the
street-car men was the question before
the board.
"Is there any other way than to take
up the street-car tracks?" asked Mayor
Williams, as though he was about to
order the removal of the car lines as
a matter of course.
Advice was not forthcoming. Besides
the Mayor those present at the meeting
were W. M. Ladd. Dr. S. El Joseph! and'
Dr. Dav Raffety. None of them are prac
tical electricians and the word electroly
sis had a bad sound to their ears.
"If we sent them a bill for damages it
might bring up the question." suggested
Dr. Joseph!. But this did not seem to
meet with popular approval.
City Attorney L. A. McNary was there
in his official capacity and the Water
Board gave him something to do.
"I move that the matter be referred to
the City Attorney with the suggestion
that he report to the board the best
remedy for the present conditions." said
Dr. Josephl. So Mr. McNary will have
to learn something about electrolysis.
The new road of the Portland Railway
Company to Portland Heights will, from
Ford street, travel over the forco main
which supplies that portion of sky land
with water. A street-car track over a
water main Is not a good thing for
either party, and the railway company. In
a recent letter to the board, advised that
the main be moved. This didn't strike
the Water Board In the right place.
"The company has no right to lay
tracks over our mains." said W. M. Ladd.
The company will be notified to this
effect.
BIG SIGN TAKES A FALL
Elmer J. Wallace Is Injured and
Plate Glass Window Smashed.
While engaged in placing a large and
costly sign in position on the Morrison
street front of the furniture store of
Tull & Glbbs. at the corner of Second,
yesterday morning Elmer J. Wallace, the
painter of the sign, met with quite a
loss and was quite seriously injured on
his shoulder and had a narrow escape
from being killed.
The sign, which was S3 feet in length
and three feet wide, weighed between 500
and 700 pounds, and bore in largo letters
sawed out of a thin board and heavily
gilded the inscription of the firm's name.
The sign was to be attached to the build
ing just above the first story, and had
been hoisted to Its place by four tackles,
and as Mr. Wallace says, in two minutes
more It would have been made fast,"
when one tackle hook broke. The weight
coming suddenly on the second tackle,
it broke also, and the third and fourth
followed suit in quick succession. The
Immense sign of course came down bj
the rim. and Mr. Wallace, who was
standing on a ladder superintending the
work of putting it up. had barely time
to duck his head as it passed, grazing
him on the shoulders, tearing his cloth
ing and inflicting a bruise, the severity of
which he could only roughly estimate at
the time.
The sign on striking the sidewalk broke
into several sections and many pieces,
one of which, in some manner struck one
of the large plate glass windows In the
front of the store, cracking It Into sliv
ers. Mr. Wallace could only rub his in
jured shoulder as he saw the $200 sign
and $125 worth of plate glass in ruins and
realized that he was out and Injured over
$300.
Of course, many of the spectators were,
anxious to give him advice la regard to
placing signs in position. Some said that
It should have been made in sections, and
others that it should have been suspended
Jon Tope sUngs, into which the tackles
should have been hooked. Mr. Wallace
told these that he had put up dozens of
such signs here and in Seattle, and had
never met with any such accident before.
The sign was to be attached fiat to the
front of the building, and therefore could
not be hung on rope slings. Large screw
eyes had been fastened into the sign, into
which the tackle blocks were hooked,
and the giving away of the hook at one
end of course caused the others to break
and brought on the general smash.
Mr. Wallace took, the misfortune cheer
fully, but did look a little glum as he
rubbed his shoulder and spoke of the
large number of books of the finest gold
leaf used In gilding- the many and large
letters in the sign. A good many of these
will be saved uninjured, but it will take
some time and several more books of
gold leaf to get a new sign In condition
to be attached to the building.

"It happened to me that way once,"
said Julian Rose at the Empire Theater
last night, and the big audience laughed.
"Our Hebrew friend" looked solemn
again, and the audience laughed again.
He waved his hand and they shrieked
with glee. The great Impersonation of
Mr. Rose had. put the spectators In that
l-gladsome state of mind where they
laughed uproariously at anything.
And when a performer can do this he is
certainly worth going to see.
