GO Per Cent Bri&ire and Kerry .Bonds to Se Sold When 3Ioncy JMarket II hs Become Easy Asala. Portland .municipal bonds bearing 5 per cent interest are Quoted in Eastern bond markets at from 113 to 321. Recent heavy sales in Boston have demonstrated that the paper of this city is holding to these figures. Bonds sold at from 319 to 121, -with Inter est, which bear 6 per cent, give the in vestor 3.6 per cent on his money. That . there is a ready market or these securi ties indicates that the city's credit is ; unusually good in the flnnncial centers. Portland will market $400,000 4 per, cent '0-year bridge bonds -within the next two (months, and sell $65,000 worth of 4 per cent 30-year ferry bonds. Tho manner in -which Investors regard those Portland t bonds now on the market would indicate )that the 4 per cent loan ought to be taken readily at? par or a slight premium. Last Hay the dty refunded a 555,500 t Issue, reducing the Interest rate from 6 to per cent. These bonds were issued to nm 25 years, and were intended to take 'up a like issue which was floated ten 3 years ago to redeem outstanding bonds. Investors took this new issue at a pre ' xnium of 5332.25. This would indicate that 'a. handsome premium may be realized j from the salo of the next 4s put out by tho city A special dispatch to 'Tho Oregonian from Boston gives the particulars of re cent bond transactions in that city, which demonstrate the high value placed upon tho Issues of this city.

Portland's Credit Is II I Kb.. City Auditor 3evlln regards tho transac tion in Portland bonds as a clear indica tion of the high character which Portland securities bear in financial centers. Speaking"- of the "subject yesterday he aald: "I have noticed for some time that Port land bonds were quoted In the neighbor hood of 321, and have believed that the Eastern investors regard tho credit of this city as extremely good. The sales at Boston show that country Investors as well take kindly to Portland securities and that this city stands well in Eastern money centers. "It is too early to predict the effect that the next bond issue will have upon the market. I believe, though, that the bonds will bo well received, but wo will not at tempt to float the loan at present. This is a bad time of the year to seek money. Crops are being moved, and stock opera tions havo made the demand for money unusually heavy. As a result, market conditions are not favorable. "A great deal dejends upon floating tho bond issue at the right time. When wo sold $56,000 worth of bonds last May there was plenty of money lying Idle to take tho securities, and a handsome premium was paid for the bonds. It is llkoly that if we attempt to sell more bonds now, some difficulty would be experienced; in any event, that wo would not recelvo much premium. Will Walt Till Market Is Hauler. "It is not tho intention of tho city offi cials to offer the bridge and ferry bonds for sale under six weeks or two months. By that time the crops will have been moved, life in Wall street will havo re turned and tho money market will be much easier. Of course we cannot predict definitely tho conditions that will pre vail, but they are likely to improve stead ily. "It is flattering, though, to realize that such Portland bonds as are on the mar ket are holding their price well and are being sold at a handsome premium. The new issue, having SO years to run, should bo a welcome form of investment." Tho city was to have Issued $100,000 of improvement bonds yesterday, but for various reasons tho committee in charge did not meet- These bonds bear 6 per cent Interest, but may bo retired at the end of the year. For this reason it is not expected a very high premium will be paid for the Issue, for tho loan is likely to be of too short duration. The last sale of improvement bonds drew a good pre mium, and it may bo that this experience will bo repeated. Tho city, though, will not be disappointed If It does not. HIS LEG SAWED OFF. Frank Judson's Venture in 'ew Trade Mar Cost His Life. Frank Judson. a young man, met with a shocking accident whllo helping with a steam wood-sawing machine yesterday afternoon at the southwest corner of East Morrison and East Thirteenth streets, his right leg. being instantly severed by the whirling saw. Tho machine had been set but a short time and a start was made on the end of the long rick of cord wood, when the acclomt happened. Judson got on the end of the pile of wood whon. in some way, he slipped, and fell with his leg directly in front of the saw. The cruel tooth tore quickly through flesh and bone, leaving the leg hanging by a fragment. The blood poured in a etream from tho ragged wound, but as oon as possible the patrol wagon was called and Judson was takon. to St. Vin cent's Hospital where Dr. Jones operated on him. His recovery Is regarded as doubtful. Judson was recently from Vancouver, Wash., but his home is in Fullerton, Xeb. He had only been at work with the steam cawing machine since morning.

Her Managtr, Xarcaa X. Mayer, Portland Man, Plans Her Last ApjearsBce Here. Marcus R. Mayer, the -well-known the atrical manager, under whose direction Sir Henry Irving; Adellna Patti, Law rence Barrett, Edwia Booth and many other famous children of Thespls have appeared in America, is at the Portland. The reason of his coming Is to make ar rangements for the appearance la Port land of Adelina Patti. In response to many and urgent appeals, the world famed 'diva Is to make another -and final farewell tour of this country. nd Mr. Mayer is at present undecided whether he will engage the Marquam Grand or the Armory for the performance. It is a question of price," said Mr. Mayer yesterday. "Not price to us, but price- to the -public My principal wish is to arrange matters that the great est number of people may hear the world famed diva at the least possible cost." Mr. Mayer is an old resident of Port land, where some of his relatives still of Albany, called to take charge of -the Mount Tabor -schools, -district 2fo. 5. is a native of Minnesota, where he bad been engaged in school work, with the exception of two years, since bis graduation from Amherst College with the class of 86. As. County Superintendent of his native county, and principal of the Owatonna High School, his -work was characterized by such well timed effort aad breadth of views that be was offered the superin tendeney of the Rochester city schools, where he was -recognized as one of the leading educators of the state. North field, the seat of two colleges, next called him to supervise its dty school, choosing him over 108 -applicants. Six years of faithful and well-appreciated .service there added to Mr. Adams reputation. Minnesota has the sys tem of state Bummer schools, last ing 24 days, instead of the institute plan of three days, in vogue here, and to this work be was called by the state authorities for five suc cessive years. Catching the West ern fever one year ago, as many ethers are doing, he came to Albany, where be has .given general satis reside. Jacob Mayer, of Flelschner, Mayer & Co., Is his uncle and Mrs. Solo mon jJIrsch Is a cousin. Mr. Mayer first started life in 1S39 as a printer's devil in the Job office of the late S. J. McCor mack. aad later worked with H. L- Plt- tock on the Oregonian. then owned by Mr. Dyer. Mr. Mayer went from Port land to British Columbia and was there engaged on the Victoria Colonist, both as compositor and -reporter. In 1SC2 he first entered the theatrical business as advance agent for Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne. Since then he has man aged Sarah Bernhardt for five visits to America: Henry Irving and Ellen Terry; Edwin Booth, both in England and In the United States; Madam Patti for seven tours In America and two each in South America and Mexico; Coquella and Jane Hading in Mexico, South America and the United States; Christine Nllsson In concert and Italian opera; Josef Hof mann. the pianist; Sarasate and D' Albert. Mrs. Langtry, Mary Anderson, .Lawrence Barrett, Rose Eytlnge, Fanny Daven port, Agnes Huntingdon and many others. Although a number of his attractions have played in Portland. Mr. Mayer him self has not -visited this city since 1S79. when he came to attend the wedding of his cousin. Miss Clementine Mayer, now Mrs. Oscar Meyer. "There is but one Patti and one Nlag ara," said Mr. Mayer in speaking of the diva. "Consequently, the coming tour is to be the greatest musical went in Amer ica since her last appearance. Patti, whose voice has charmed the world. Is once again to be heard in this country. where for two generations her sway has been undisputed. "In the supporting company of the present tour are Mile. Roza Zamels. fa vorite pupil of the Belgian violin king. Ysaye; Mile. Vara Margols, a favorite London planiste; Anton Hegner, the great and widely-known 'cellist; Vlllard Vrlgo, a new tenor, who has taken London by storm; Claude Cunningham, the favdrite baritone of the Carl Rosa forces, and Mme. Gabriella Aounda, the first con tralto of the grand opera in Florence. The musical director will be the cele brated -"maestro, Romualo Saplo, who Is well known In America and who has been with Mme. Patti on -several of her pre vious tours. "The result of her recent appearance In England tends to show that this mar velous voice is etlll in the full possession of all its wonderful richness and charm. while such technical perfection as has al ways been here can never be lost." Mme. Paul's return to America can hardly fall to recall to those who are not of the rising generation some of the great artists with whom she has been associated In this country during the 44 years which have elapsed since her orig inal debut In New York. Where are now Patti's sisters. Carlotta and Amelia, who both sang with her in the '60s? Where are Strakosch and Brlgnoll? How about Gottschalk, the pianist, and Mario, tho violinist, both of whom have accompanied the great diva? Where are Clara Louisa Kellogg, Annie Louise Cary and Mme. Parepa, Carn- panlnt and a score of other erstwhile fa vorites? They have all sung their last song. But Patti, in perennial youth, carrying with her half a century of reminiscences, is coming bacx. FARMERS GROW RICH. Minnesota Editor Tells of Prosper! ty. Western Philip A- Kaufcr, of Red Lake Falls, Minn., proprietor of the Gazette of that town, thinks the Pacific Northwest is the best place on earth for a young man to thrive In and prosper. "I see so many opportunities for young men," he re marked, "that I've given up counting them. Everywhere this country Is full of good chances. Tes, I like Minnesota pretty welL but If I can fix up my affairs back there rll probably come out here. Cold in Minnesota? Oh, not very. Forty- six below zero! Thats not very bad. Why, men go out in it Inordinary caps without tneir ears covered and don' freeze. Besides, it doesn't stay that cold long. It goes back about to 20 below. which, we think, makes up-top weather. Everybody must admit that Minnesota is a beautiful state and a good place to live. "Out in this country the Tanners are far ahead of the newspaper editors Jn the acquisition of worldly goods. Up In Kit- titas and Takima Valleys, for example, there are plenty of farmera worth 510G.6CO each. One year ago last April a friend of mine bought -40 acres of land in Puyal lup Valley for WXO. Ten acres of the land produced, hops, which, last August be sold for $2500 on the vines. This year he has sold his hop crop for $2050. There's $4550 produced from only 30 acres In 16 Hionths. His income from the rest of the farm has made his profits something like $3000, or the sum of money he paid for the land. And Just a little- while ago lie declined an offer of J11.CO0 for his farm. "Oh, this is a fine country; there's no doubt about it." QUARREL OVER CITY WATER Ceadoa Man -Shoots Marshal R. E. Armstrong-. The Condon Tunes gives the following version of the Palmer-Armstrong shoot ing affray: "An unfortunate shooting affray took place in the city Wednesday afternoon, August 12, when S. F. Palmer shot R. E. Armstrong, City Marshal, in the . left leg. From information, it seems that Palmer claimed the Marshal had made Insulting remarks to Mrs. Palmer the evening be fore, while accusing her of wasting the city water. Palmer took Armstrong to task for the language he used and it is said he made a further insulting remark about Palmer and his wife. Spectators who saw the affray say that Palmer backed oft between Barker's new store and the chop house, but Armstrong kept following him up. Palmer then drew a gun and, back ing off, told Armstrong'to keep away from him. The Marshal, notwithstanding Palmer's warning, kept crowding on and Palmer fired in the air. He shot three times without once pointing the gun at his antagonist. He then turned and ran In at the back door of the saloon, Arm strong giving chase, and had almost reached the front door when he tired again, the bullet this time taking effect in his pursuer's knee. "The wounded man was picked up by .some bystanders and taken to Dr. Wood's office, where it was found the bullet had lodged in the knee. The doctor did not -probe for the bullet and gave 11 as his opinion that the wounded man would have a stiff knee for life, although there is a slim chance that it will get all right. "Palmer walked down to Stephenson & Wilcox's .store and gave himself up to Judge Neale. who Instructed ex-Sheriff Wilcox to take him to the Sheriff's office.. A warrant was Issued out of 'Judge Xeale's court charging Palmer with 'as sault with intent to kill. "Bonds were fixed at $2000 for his ap pearance at the preliminary hearing set for Thursday, at 2 o clock P. M. Bonds men were soon found and the prisoner liberated. The preliminary examination was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Judge Neale on the bench. Deputy District Prosecuting Attorney Collier, of Fossil. appeared for the state. Palmer waived examination and was placed under $1000 bonds to appear for trial at the Septem ber term of court. Bondsmen were se cured. TO DEVELOP MUSCLE. Xevr Physical Director of Y. M. C. A.

If you feed right you will feel right, for proper food and a good mind Is the sure road to health. "A year ago I became much alarmed about my health, for I be gan to suffer after each meaL no matter how Httlo I ate." says a Denver woman. "I lost my appetite, and the very thought of food grew distasteful, with the result that I was not nourished and got weak and thin. My home cares were very heavy, for besides a large family of my own I have also to look for an aged mother. There was no one to shoulder my household burdens, and come what might I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. T read an article ia the paper about some one with trouble just like mine be ing cured on the food Grape-Nuts, and acting on this suggestion I gave Grape Nuts a trial. The first dish of this dell-' clous food told me I had struck the right thing. My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain disappeared as If by magic, and in an Incredibly short space of time I was again myself. Since then I havfl gained IS pounds In weight through a Summer of bard work, and realize I am a very different woman, all due to- the splendid food Grape-Nuts."
