A traction engine for hauling wagons loaded with gravel, in place of horses, is bglng used successfully by F. Joplin. grading contractor, in graveling the extension be ing constructed by the Portland Railway Company from Union avenue down Rus sell street and out to Maryland addition. The gravel being hauled is from the ex cavation for the large sewer In the Cook avenue district. There is quite a rise to overcome at the start, and up this the traction engine hauls only three loaded wagons at a time,' but from that on six wagons are attached, forming quits a train. The engine does not work well when the hill is slippery after a rain, but in fair weather it jogs along with six loads of gravel as steadily as a team with two, and quite a saving in transportation is thus effected, now that good teams are worth about f5 a day. Some of the property-owners on the streets over which fhe engine travels are inclined to remonstrate against Its use, as they fear it will break the surface of their street, but Mr. JopUn assures tbom that the engine will benefit the street by rolling the surface much more solidly than would be done by a steam roller. The facts in regard to this will be evident after the engine and its train of wagons have been in operation for awhile. Some of the property-owners say that they paid for a good improvement, and it should stand any travel that is re quired to pass over it. Probably if the Improvement should give way and they should blame the contractor he would say that he had not agreed to build a railroad. Grass Sown Over Burnt Tracts. The past Summer has been very different from that of last year in the matter of fires in the timber spreading from burning "brush or clearings. Such fires swept over large tracts of land in this region last year, and a great amount of grass seed was sown on the burns, as a good stand of grass is nearly always secured in this way. There have been no fires on tim bered land this Summer, and very little slashing has been burned. Farmers and seedmen report that more grass seed of various kinds has been sown this year than last, and that owing to favorable weather the seed has generally taken well. This extensive seeding to grass is evi dence that many are reducing the acreage they have heretofore devoted to growing graln, and will have more hay and pas turage land, which will enable them to. in crease their herds and extend the dairy ing. This will be a good thing for all concerned, as there is always demand for more butter and cheese and for milk for condensing. Profits from dairying are . likely to be much larger than from grain raising in all sections where good pastur age and hay can be produced. The more land there is cleared and seeded to grass the less likelihood will there be of fires spreading, causing destruction of timber. Bert Kerrigan Disablkd. Bert Kerri gan, the well-known high jumper and athlete of the Multnomah Athletic Club, is laid off at present, owing to a slight mis hap or misstep. He was doing a long broad on Monday eveninr, and in the last "act" and last Jump in it he missed the "take-off," a piece of board, and sprained the ligaments of his right foot so severely that he had to be taken home in a hack. He sprained his left leg sev eral years Nago in much the same manner while making a high jump, but soon re covered from the Injury. His friends say that it seems to be his fate to meet Tvith mishaps when least expected. They have been afraid that he would get broken up playing football, as often he has been burled under a pile of fellows, from which it seemed impossible that he would ever emerge alive, but he has always escaped unhurt, and his friends are now Inclined to think that football is one of. the gen tlest of athletic sports. Mr. Kerrigan was all through the war in the Philippines, and often recklessly exposed himself un necessarily, going out scouting, etc., but he returned without a scratch. He has been very fortunate in athletics, but it is an old saying that the vessel that goes often to the well gets broken at last. Tree-Planting on a Bio Scale. One of the oldest nurseymen of this region is J. H. Settlemayer, who was in the business at TYoodburn for about a quarter of a century and supplied trees for many or chards now full grown. He retired from business some time ago, and was in the city yesterday looking up old friends. He says tree-planting is being carried on by many over a large scope of territory, and that there is no danger of the area of orchards in the "Willamette Valley de creasing. Apple trees are being planted most extensively, and cherries are next in order, but many pears are being put out, and prune orchards are being extended in many places. The prune business has had its tips and downs, but may now be con sidered on a settled basis. It was started with a rush and hurrah of excitement, and at first was overdone, and the lack of market and bad luck for a year or two led to many prune trees being pulled up and burned; but all these troubles are now over and a market lor all good prunes is assured, and it is found that well-cared-for prune trees yield more profit to the acre than any other crop, as a general thing. Street Bonds a Good Investment. The money received from the sale of street Improvementtbonds Saturday is being paid out by City Treasurer "Warleln to con tractors and warrant-holders. The amount sold was $52,000, and they were purchased In lots to suit by six local capitalists. Some lots as low as $1000 were taken. The premium paid ranged from to 1 per cent. The bonds bear G per cent interest, and at 1 per cent premium are considered a good investment In these days, when money is so plentiful with some people. Persons purchasing 6 per cent county war rants, to run a year or so only, usually have to pay 14 per cent premium to se cure them.

Residents on East Main street, between East Thirty-sixth and East Thirty-ninth streets, feel very much aggrieved at the conduct of the contractor who is grading and improving that section of the street. In breaking hp the ground with jl plow he has torn up and broken into pieces the pipes supplying seven of the houses with water. They allege that the injuries In the main are wanton and malicious, and that needless Impoliteness was used to the women who went out to remonstrate. The street has never been Improved before, and the waterplpes are merely temporary or surface pipes, being burled but little dis tance in the ground. The residents say that a pipe might be broken by the plow coming in contact with it, and they have had no particular fault to find, but when the pipes were broken in several places they say this was done wantonly and maliciously, and that if the men folk had been, at home when the women who re monstrated were so harshly treated there would have been trouble. The injuries In flicted are particularly annoying at this time, when plumbers are on a strike and it Is difficult to get repairs made. The waterworks will not replace the pipes, and the contractor refuses to do so, and the annoyance of having the water supply shut off Is liable to last some time. "Chickens" Proved to Be Turkeys. The caterers of two popular restaurants became involved in quite a dispute yes terday in regard to a string of dressed fowls hanging in front of a Fourth street restaurant, which each was anxious to se cure. As there is practically no game in the market, and everything in the line of delicacies or varieties is very scarce, this string of fowls attracted their attention, .as well as that of many others. One said they were the finest lot of chickens he had ever seen, as they weighed five to six pounds each. The other insisted that chickens never grew so large, and that they much be young turkles. To this the first replied that no one would kill such young turkeys for market, when by keep ing them till Christmas they would weigh three or four times as much. The dealer was finally appealed to settle the dispute. He said the fowls were young turkeys which were being shipped in from the southern part of the Willamette Valley, and which were in great demand. He sup posed the growers must have more than they cared to feed till full grown. When chickens are In market as broilers, when not one-fourth grown, there is no reason why turkeys should not be treated In the same way, now that Che stock of cold storage turkeys Is exhausted.

Moye Willie Van Astorbllt Ruth White Ruth Helen Dexter Phoeba Kummagln Harriet Sheldon Daisy Louise Brackett Mrs. Splurger Josephine Dltt That brilliant musical comedy success of three prosperous seasons, "The Burgo master," book and lyrics by Frank Plxley, music by Gustav Luders, and under the direction of William P. Cullen, who will produce it for five years, was the at traction last night at the Marquam, and ever seat was occupied. "The Burgomas ter" was well received and the encores were many, especially when Ruth White, Oscar L. Figman and Helen Dexter were on the stage. ,The chorus girls are petite but pretty, and they have good voices. The costumes' and scenery are splendid. It is -about 20 months since "The Burgo master" appeared in this city. At that time it was sung on the road by two dif ferent companies, but now there Is only dhe, managed by Mr. Cullen, and he gives a representation not one whit behind the previous one. The seductive, catchy music haunts the memory as much as ever, particularly the songs "Madem oiselle New York," "Keep Cool," "Tale of a Kangaroo," "The Hypnotist" and "I Love You." This time Ruth White, a San Francisco girl, Is the Willie Van Astor bllt of the comedy, and she makes a real istic boy. Indeed, many boys would be irresistible if they were all as charming as Ruth White. She has a strong, sweet soprano voice, and also the advantage of an attractive personality. She Is the girl who was selected out of a list of 400 singers to sing the ballad "Ben Bolt," in the production of "Trilby." Her im personation of a boy is of the clever Vesta Tilley order. The original Peter Stuyvesaflt is William Morris, now star ring in "Babes of Toyland," but Oscar I. Figman worthily wears His mantle and leaves nothing to be desired. He Is a comedian of the first water and last night kept the house In roars of laugh ter. Charles Sharp, as Doodle, was a success, and he played admirably both on the saxaphone and trombone. Helen Dexter, as Ruth, the girl from Chicago, danced and sang splendidly. She has. an excellent contralto voice. As most people know, "The Burgomas ter" is based on the act of Peter Stuy vesant, Burgomaster of New Amsterdam, drinking enchanted whisky, in the year 16S0, and sleeping until 1900, when he awakens to find himself in modern New York City. "The Burgomaster" is one of the chief events of the season. There is a matinee this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock, and the last performance is tonight. Malcca a Hit at the Empire. John T. Tierney is a distinct hit at the Empire Theater this week, and is called back oftener than any other performer on the programme. For a fifth encore Tier ney usually sings "It Is the Dutch," one of the new popular songs now raging in the East Another new act is that of Allen Wightman, who models faces in clay and. changes the likeness of William Shakespeare into that of the .mother-in-law and so forth with amazing rapidity. Raymond and Caverly are playing the farewell week of their performance and their "automoblllous" act is a world beater for fun. "Janice Meredith." Despite the numerous other attractions, the Baker Theater was crowded to the doors last night to see the Neill-Morosco Company in "Janice Meredith." "The play's the thing," or it is the company, of which everyone Is talking, or just the reliable old magnetic power of the popu lar theater. Something, perhaps all com bined, draws in spite of carnival, warm weather and everything else, and the week without doubt will be one of the largest In the record of the house. "The Burgomaster" Tonight. "The Burgomaster," one of the most delightful musical comedies that ever came to Portland and which made a most flattering hit at the Marquam Grand Theater last night, will be the matinee at traction this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock. The company is composed of an excellent cast and a chorus that is both young afid handsome. Last performance tonight at 8:15 o'clock. COMING ATTRACTIOXiSty "The Dairy Farm." Th Marquam Grand Theater will offer Its patrons Thursday, Friday and Sat urday nights, with a special matinee Sat urday, "The Dairy Farm," a play that has achieved remarkable success the past three years In the East. It Is styled "A Romance of Sleepy Hollow," owing to the fact that the scenes are laid near that historic spot made widely known by Washington Irving. "The Dairy Farm" is a rural comedy of the rustic life of Old Hurley, Ulster County, New York, just before the breaking out of the Civil W;:r. The simplicity of the play brings with it the perfume of a new-mown field, .and the turmoil of the busy street Is for gotten in fancy' remembrance of the song of birds and the sound of bees in the blowing clover. The production will be complete In every detail. Seats are now selllrg. "Young1 Mrs. "Wintlirop" Tonight. Thj excellent Impression left by the Moraant-Humphrey Company In their first production of "Young Mrs. Wlnthrop" last Sunday night drew forth another good house last night. This play, which Is of a very high order of merit and touches the heart of most theater-goers more than anything seen here for a long time, will be given for the last time tonight. Commencing Thursday night, the Mordant-Humphrey Company will produce Nat C. Goodwin's celebrated comedy, "A Gold Mine."- The Mordant-Humphrey Company received a perfect ovation in Seattle last week when It produced this play at the Third-Avenue Theater. S. Miller Kent "In Captain Bob." S. Miller Kent, presenting his latest success "Captain Bob," will be the at traction Marquam Grand Theater next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, September 24, 23 and 26. The ad vance sale of seats will open next Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Advantages of Bascnle Bridges. PORTLAND, Sept 19. (To the Editor.) I learn from conversation with Portland gentlemen that the subject of bascule bridges is receiving some attention In your city. Having some experience with this class of bridge in. my home city, Chicago, I take the liberty of addressing you on this subject. The first bascule bridge con structed in the City of Chicago was built some seven years ago for the Metropolitan Elevated Railway Company over the south branch of the Chicago River, and has met with unqualified success. The com pany has never had an accident on this bridge, and the ease of operation and the small time consumed in opening and clos ing makes it far superior to the old style of swing bridge. Of course one of the chief advantages of the bascule bridge is the wWe channel, doing away with the old center piers which have been the cause of so many accidents in Chicago. Another advantage is that the bridge when opened, absolutely closes the street. At our old swing bridges, people have in numerous cases walked Into the river when the bridge was turned, and in at least one case a street-car met the same fate. It is the Intention of the City of Chicago " to replace all the old swing bridces with-the bascule pattern as soon as expedient. Two have been constructed this season, one at the North-avenue crossing and the other atDlvlsion street. Portland will do well to 'adopt this pat tern. WM. H. CHAMBERS. PORTLAND,. Sept. 18. (To the Edltor.J Your issue of Thursday has the following: "The deplorable condition into which Portland's fire stations have been al lowed to fall, owing to the smaKness of the department maintenance fund, was pictured at yesterday's session of the City Council, with the result that an appropria tion of J908L93 was urged for much-needed repairs and new apparatus. It was shown by Mayor Williams and several members of the Council that the expenditure can barely be avoided, as the stations, as they now stand, are totally unfit to be occupied by human beings." Further on is this: "A bill from the Commercial Club for $400 expended In entertaining the officers of the cruisers Marblehead and Concord was promptly ordered paid." Can you inform me whether it Is in the province of the Common Council to appropriate money for the entertainment of any one? It Is, I believe, the general custom of our commercial bodies, when they enter tain people, to pay for same out of their own funds or by contributions. I believe I voice the sentiment of 99 out of every 100 of our taxpayers that it Is wrong to take money out of the city treasury for Junketing purposes. H. GOOD THING FOR- ROADS. Excursion Rates Work for Rail roads Good Both Ways. Passenger department officials have been lnvestleatlng the effect of the low east and west-bound rates put Into effect dur ing the summer with a view of ascertain ing definitely their effect upon the regular business of the companies. Though figures have not yet been compiled, It is likely that the decision will be that the reduced fares have not disturbed traffic conditions. "Of course, the regular passenger busi ness originating at or near the dates when the low rates were made effective has suffered," explained a general passen ger agent yesterday, "but our business has been good all Summer, and I believe when the result is learned from a revenue stand point It will be discovered that the reve nues of the transcontinental lines have been Increased by the reductions. "In any event. It would be hard to de cide that excursion rates cannot be grant ed. It would be impossible, you might say, in this country. The Northwest is a new district, and we must encourage travel. Everyone understands the Inter ests of the railroads In bringing people West. We have managed to get thou sands of newcomers to the Coast who took advantage of special rates this Sum mer. Many of these people came out of curiosity and returned satisfied with their present locations. But hundreds of others made Investments and it Is impossible to estimate the thousands who have been brought West this year to take up new homes on the Coast. "The low rates granted to east-bound travelers have a good effect upon the Northwest. They carry thousands who would not otherwise make the trip, and each of these persons is an enthusiastic boomer for his adopted country. They carry the story of the Northwest's advan tages into countries that have not been exploited thoroughly by immigration agents and, being thoroughly acquainted with the people, are readily believed. "It may be set down as a positive fact that the transcontinental lines are satis fied with the result of the excursion busi ness done .during the year, and I believe our revenues have prospered." Works Hardship on American Mines. PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Sept. 22. Advices received here from Caracas, Venezuela, state that the official Gazette has published a government decree sus pending the operatibn of the mining ode for an indefinite period. This decree will render new acquisitions of mines in Vene zuela Impossible. The reason given Is that a clique of politicians surrounding President Castro wishes to monopolize all the mines In the district of Ciudad Bolivar without meeting any competition. They would afterward sell the mines to foreign companies. The action of the govern ment taken without previous notice will cause detriment to the American mining parties who are now engaged in surveying several mining claims in the district of the Orinoco. China's Building: nt St. Louis. ST. LOUJS, Sept 22. The joists of one of China's buildings at the World's Fair were laid today, work on the structure having been begun last'Saturday.

The great law of supply and demand largely regulates the price of commodities, and, to the reasonable thinker it is apparent that the real value of a thing is what it will bring in the" market no more and no less. This applies to pianos as well as to other lines of goods, and Intending1 purchasers should remember that if they get a piano cheap they are getting a cneap piano, for no sane dealer is going to sacrifice $100.00 or $150.00 as some dealers advertise to do, simply to save 51.00 drayage charges or because a carpenter happens to be working in the same block. It Is the same old story of chasing the rainbow and ilnal disappoint ment, of colored lights nicely manipulated and hot air cleverly distributed. For the benefit -of those Intending to pur chase pianos, we wish to state that our goods are right and strictly up-to-date In every particular, and not a lot of shop worn and second-hand Instruments that wero antiquated years ago. Also that our prices are right. We ask exactly what our goods are worth. The price Is the same to you as it is to your neighbor. That you can buy at any time and get the full value of your money. That we are always pleased to have you call and examine our goods, whether you buy or not, and that we -will not hound you to death with agents or solicitors. We carry only high grade goods, such as the Stein way & Sons, Estey, Emerson, Starr and A. B. Chase pianos, and that we are the only dealers that can get these pianos, new, direct from the factory, and "the more closely you In vestigate the more clearly you demon strate the superiority of our goods and the reasonableness of our prices."
