Begins Today Mnlt Aomah. Club Will Reap Small Financial Harvest. Jabour, the Midway Impressario, is again in trouble- This is not a new ex perience for Mr. Jabour, as trouble seems to attend him wherever he goes. The Chicago Great "Western (Maple Leaf) has tolcen his show in charge to satisfy a claim of $5500 which the show contracted ior transportation into Omaha during the past Summer. It was due solely to the splendid executive ability of Director-General Bentley, of the carnival, that the at tractions managed by Jabour were able to fulfill their contract with the club and finish the week out. The railroad company placed the claim In the hands -of local attorneys, who be gan replevin proceedings against Jabour. Jl crisis in the affairs of the carnival was averted and the storm tided over until after Saturday night's performance. The hows are billed for North Yakima, "Wash., this week and Spokane the week following. Although Mr. Jabour nominally is still in charge, a representative of tho Maple Xeaf will accompany the organization and protect the interests of his company. Mr. Bentley refused to discuss the matter, and Mr. Jabour maintains a discreet silence. The Multnomah Club's carnival, which closed in a blaze of glory Saturday night, was the most successful affair of its kind ever held in Portland. In spite of the fact that the State Fair at Salem and the race meet here conflicted with it, and in spite of the cool nights, and one on which rain Sell, over 75,000 people paid admissions at the gate. The patrons were completely satisfied, and no word of complaint was ieard from the most exacting. There were no accidents, and good order was inaintained throughout the entire 12 days. The club will net a handsome sum al though Its expenses have been tremen dously large and is to be congratulated on bringing off such a great undertaking with so much credit. Director-General Bentley was a very "tired but happy man yesterday, for he has been carrying the principal burden Of the carnival on his shoulders, and was large ly responsible for tlie success attained. It was purely a labor of love, although the duties of director-general have de manded his entire time for the past three weeks. "We feel that we gave the people their money's worth and provided the best show of the kind ever seen here. We will have a nice balance remaining when all the expenses are paid, and "are well satis fied. I will have my report ready by the last of the week, and will then take a ilong vacation." It is generally agreed that the best feature of the carnival was the spectacle "When Knighthood Was in Flower," which was given under the direction of Professor Robert Krohn and George I Hutchln. It was purely a local effort and reflected great credit on those who par ticipated in it. It is probable that tho club will give an amateur circus next Summer on its fleld, instead of again un dertaking another carnival. If this is de cided upon an effort will be made to eclipse all other efforts which the club lias made in the entertainment line. The carnival grounds yesterday pre sented a desolate appearance. The parti colored tents were down, the banners pro claiming Dirty Dora and the muscle-dancers had been folded, the German village was dismantled and the confetti was with ered and dead. Even the camels felt the spirit of a banquet hall deserted, and chewed their cuds in melancholy isolation. The aged bagpiper who in his kilts and Scotch accent was the living prototype of a certain health food advertisement, had donned the habiliments of civilization and a Jag. He and the other "artists" reposed in shady corners of the big lnclosure and seemed thankful that it was all over. Most of the industrial exhibits were removed yesterday, and the work of tearing down me lences win negm today. BULLET IN HIS BRAIN. .James Anker Almost Succeeds In Oft-Tlireatened Snlcide.

NEW STYLE OF GRADING Traction Engine Does "Work of Many Teams on East Side. The scheme adopted by Messrs. Gleblsch and Joplln for hauling gravel for grading streets with a traction engine has proved a cranrl success. They Invested in an S0- horsepower engine, and it climbs the hill on Albina avenue, seven blocks In length. with a train of loaded wagons which it would take ten pairs of horses to haul up, and the horses and drivers would cost $50 a day. The engine has been working a week, and makes seven trips a day, which it would push horses hard to do. . The contractors are sorry that they had not tried this scheme when they were grading streets In Holladay's Park last Summer. They hauled about 6000 yards of gravel miles for this work, and it was killing work for horses. If they had had their present outfit there it would have saved them several teams which cost ?400. They intend to use the traction engine hereafter In grading streets, as teams are becoming scarce and dear and hard to get Some of the property-owners along tho streets over which they haul their trains of wagons complained that they were in juring the streets, and both City Engineer J Elliott and the Chief of Police sent men over, to Investigate. They reported that as the engine had wheels 36 inches broad on the face, and that the front ones were near together, while the rear ones were far apart tho engine acted as a roller and Improved the streets instead of injur ing it, and that the contractors, for their own benefit put gravel in every little de pression in tne street and rolled and com pacted lt What Has tended to render the engine a success is the use of a new kind of wagon gear invented and patented by Mr. Campbell, of Milwaukle. In this gear there is a bolster in both axles, and tne wheqls are connected by a wire cable which in a very ingenious manner causes them to move so that.in turning a corner the hind wheels follow exactly in the tracks of the fore -wheels, and the point of connection between the wagons in a train has been figured out so correctly that when the engine turns a" corner, the last wagon in the train turns the corner In the same tracks as the first part are. instead of being" hauled across. the corner of the block, as would be the case with ordinary wagons hitched together. It is said that other Inventions of this kind have been patented, but they have not come into general use, apparently, as they are not used here, and it is impossi bl to imagine what may be the result of Mr. CampbelPs invention in hastening the passing of the horse and changing sys tems of wagon transportation. Lumber men and others are noting its progress with Interest 1 MOVING POSTOFFICE. V It Will Be Settled in Temporary Building Next Sunday. Arrangements for the removal of the Postoffice to the temporary quarters It Is to occupy in the Snell-Heltshu building while the addition to the Government building is being constructed, have been about completed by Postmaster Bancroft, and he has issued orders that the flitting shall be commenced next Saturday. On that day the morning delivery will be made at 8 o'clock, and Superintendent C T. Holloway, of the mailing depart ment is Instructed to move out at that hour. He expects to have all the belong ings of the department installed in the new quarters, in the narrow south end on the first floor, and to be ready to receive mall at 10 o'clock. The mailing division and city room will be moved down Saturday afternoon, and on Sunday the ofllces of the Postmaster and assistant stamproom and money or der department will be moved. By this arrangement It will be possible for tho business of the office to be carried on without interruption or Inconvenience to the public, as the uproar connected with changing quarters will practically be all over and all hands settled In their new quarters by Sunday. The only trouble th people will have Is to accustom them selves to going to Sixth and Ankeny streets, instead of Fourth and Morrison, when they wish to visit the Postoffice. There will, however, remain a rather troublesome Job to be done in the removal of a number of safes. Three of these weigh six tons each, and one seven tons. ana, as tney will have to be moved out through windows and put Into the new quarters in the same way, some through second-story and some through third- story windows, this will occupy some tlmer truckmen say a day to each safe. This, however, is a matter of small conse quence, so that the business of the office is not interrupted. COMING TO NEW FIELDS. Lumbermen Lenre Wisconsin in Thousands for Pacific Northwest "Why am I leaving Wisconsin?" said William A. Doherty, of Green Bay, in that state, repeating the question which was asked him at the Perkins yesterday. "For the same reason that thousands of other lumbermen are leaving there. Thailand Is almost all logged off." Mr. Doherty ar rived yesterday with his wife from Green Bay on his way to Seattle, having bought a sawmill at Kangley, near that city. wnat is being done with the logced-off land?" "It is being sold at $3 and $6 an acre to farmers, who clear off what little timber is left and put the land under cultiva tion." "Could not a second growth of timber be raised on it?" "Uia anybody ever near of a second growth being logged? I do not believe It would be any good. We see poplar and scrub pine grow up on the cut-off land, out it is not equal to tne nrst growth." Mr. Doherty dismissed the possibility that a second crop of timber might be raised as too remote for consideration.

The dog cast Itself under a heavy Sell wood car at Milwaukle street, near Pow ell street day before yesterday, and was ground to pieces. The desperate act fol- I lowed the discovery that Its master had gone astray. While the hapless canine was unable to leave an explanatory note, like human suicides are sometimes wont to do, there Is little doubt as to the motive. The dog had always had a deep devotion for its master. When he approached his home In East Portland the dog, -which was a fine appearing and cheerful canine, was in the habit of running out and venting its glee In the demonstrative manner of the really devoted dog. It was about a week ago that tho dog was seen to run out as usual at the ap pearance of its master. As it approached him It paused and a look of very intense surprise, such as only an unspeaklng dog can display, shone in Its eyes. The mas ter was walking in a very zig-zag manner, while his voice was thick and his talk the unintelligible babble of a lunatic or very young child. The dog stood looking at this very unfortunate sight for a min ute. It then shrank back in a very dog like manner, curled its tall between its legs and ran home. Whining was heard I under tho rear porch that evening, but no IMPROVING THE STREETS VAST AMOUNT OP "WORK BEING DONE ON EAST SIDE. Grading, Paving; and Laying; of Cement Walks Transforming East Portland and Albiiia. Nearly ten miles of street work is un der way or projected on the East Side. The"" most Important streets now being improved are Union avenue, Mississippi avenua. East Tavlor. Ellsworth, Patton avenue, Belmont street. East Market and Hancock streets. Union avenue is being Improved in two places between Weldler and Morris streets and between Alberta street and Dekum avenue, nearly two miles. The first section Is being graveled somewhat slowlv. Contractor Joplln has established his camp and started grading on Union avenue between Highland and Woodlawn. Ho expects . to get gravel enough for this . improvement out of the street, as a bed of cement gravel under lies that whole district The gravel will be taken out and dirt used to fill up he places from which it Is taken. This is an Important improvement as it will open a large district and make it possible for Piedmont and Woodlawn to get free mall delivery, water mains and lira protection. Without this none of these things couia be secured. Patton-avenue improvement will connect the Portland and Columbia boulevards, cutting through a fine dis trict Work is progressing on East Taylor street, .which extends to East Thirty-ninth from East Twelfth. At Sunnyside Bel mont street is being improved from East Thirty-sixth to the city limits, following the Mount Tabor railway. Here also sev eral streets are being graded to the city limits. The Title Guaranty & Trust Com pany has graded and built sidewalks all through Its new addition fronting on East Stark street It is now proposed to im prove East Twenty-fourth street,' be tween East Stark and the Sandy road. According to the engineer's estimates the cost of the work would be 59900, and the street would be graveled. The Improve ment of Hancock from Grand avenue to East Fifteenth street by gravel is in prog ress, at an estimated cost of 51S.83L Twen ty-first Is to be improved between weldler and Hancock at a cost of $3588. The bridge on Williams avenue, from 100 feet north of the north line of Weld ler to 50 feet south of the south line of Weldler street, is to be rebuilt at a cost of $9000. This roadway has been in a dan gerous condition for several months. Work is progressing rapidly on East Oak. The elevated roadway between union avenue and East Sixth street is being finished. This is very heavy work. The roadway is high, and very large timbers are being used throughout the structure. Ellsworth street is being improved from Grand avenue to East Tenth street by graveling. Concrete sidewalks are being laid for most of the distance. East Sev enth street Is to be improved at once be tween East Stark and East Everett streets by gravel and concrete walks. East Sixth street is also slated for improvement be tween East Grant and East Everett streets, but the preliminaries are not far advanced. At the South End, Carl street Is to be graveled between Milwaukle avenue and East Twenty-first street In Sellwood, Spokane avenue is to be Improved be tween the Milwaukle road and the Wil lamette River. A petition is being circu lated for the replanking of Powell street; also of Brooklyn street between Milwaukle and East Tenth, to connect with the im provement now being made on Ellsworth. There is a movement on foot to get East Twenty-eighth street paved. The dis trict is settling rapidly. In Lower Albina, Albina avenue is be ing paved with wood blocks "between the ferry landing and Page street There will be a foundation of gravel and sand, ana tho blocks are being treated with pre servative. This is the first street on tne east side of the river to be paved with wooden blocks, which, will cost the prop erty-owners 512,000. The travel to the ferry is very heavy and a good improve ment is needed. Besides these long im. provements a number of short ones are projected all over the East Side. The most costly street work In any new tract is what has been in the new Holla day Addition, on the north side of Sulli van's Gulch. Every street is graveled and sidewalks are concrete. There Is a ten-foot street between the sidewalk and the curb for flowers and shade trees. Cost of street work alone in this tract must have been above 575,000. The improvement if Mississippi avenue seems assured between Morris and Skid moro streets, now that the City & Sub urban Railway Company has agreed to lay double tracks while work is being done. Besides the improvement of streets, miles of concrete sidewalks ore being laid In every direction. At the present rate most of the shabby wooden walks will disappear soon. CLOSE OP CHURCH TEAR. Final Services Before Conference Held in Methodist Churches. The Methodl3t Churches of Portland held the last services yesterday before the conference which convenes In Salem Sep tember 30. At the Sunnyside Church, Rev. W. H. Selleck, pastor, made his final report yesterday morning. The showing was most excellent The quarterly con ference will petition the bishop to return Mr. Selleck to that church for another year. Centenary Methodist Church, under the pastorate of Rev. W. B. Holllngshead, has closed a prosperous year. Improve ments costing 55000 were made and all paid for. All current expenses have been met and benevolences have been made Also several thousand dollars on the general debt have been paid. Central Church, of Albina, also made a good record under Rev. W. T. Kerr. All debts on church and parsonage were paid up. Mr. Kerr retires from the active work of the ministry for one year. At woodlawn improvements were made to the church building costing about 5500. Rev. Mr. Waltz Is pastor. A parsonage was built and paid for at Montavllla. Rev. ENDS HIS LIFE if dog came for supper. A big tomcat raced through the back yard right under the dog's nose, but the canine eyes did not see. And this was surprising in view of the fact that Its favorite pastime in the past had been to maintain ,a reign of ter ror In cat circles. This utter lack of in terest in life continued for several days When its owner came home evenings his. dog did not meet him. A very decided change had-come into the dog's life. Day before yesterday the tragic climax came. The dog had been in a particular ly morbid mood all day, had passed up Its meals and Ignored the curious cats that ventured Into the yard. It was about the hour for the disgraced master to reach home for his supper when the dog wan dered out the front gate. A heavy Sell- wood car was bowling toward the river at a high rate of speed. Thedog stood in a haggard attitude alongside of the track until the car was upon him and then to the horror of the mojorman Jumped right on the track. There was a Jolt a yelp of pain and the dog was a mutilated mass. Several of those who know of these circumstances surrounding the death of the dog vouch for the accuracy of the details. "It Is not at all Improbable that a dog would take such a means of ending Its life." said one man. "It Is a known fact that the dog Is a very devoted creature and will often sulk and show signs of intense suffering at some cruelty,' mis treatment or misdemeanor on. the part of its master. Bogs have susceptibilities that are not appreciated. No considerate man would let his dog see him drunk." A Monroe Ib pastor. The Mount Tabor Church, Rev. E. S. Meminger, pastor, had had a prosperous year. INVESTIGATES THE ROUTE. Manager of Portland Railway Spies Oat Road to TroBtdale. The manager of the Portland Railway Company, F. L Fuller, last week made a thorough Investigation of the route on Columbia Slough for the proposed electric railway to Falrvlew and Troutdale. Byron P. Reynolds, a well-known farmer of Col umbia Slough district, took Mr. Fuller over the country "from Woodlawn to the end of the proposed railway, and pointed out to him the possibilities of such a branch to the city system. Mr. Reynolds left nothing undone that would make the management of the railway familiar with the resources of that district Just what will be done is not known, and probably will not be for some time. Those who are agitating for construction of an electric railway Intend to keep pegging away until they get what they are after. They say that off toward the south and southeast tho country is well served with electric railways, but that the field there Is no better nor promising than the coun try between tho Base Line road and the Columbia River. There Is hardly a doubt but this latter district will In time be provided with an electric railway. The fine dairy resources of the Columbia Slough country have made it very rich. MACHINERY IS SHIPPED. Singapore Factory to Be Transplant ed to the Peninsula. The machinery for the American Orient al Manufacturing Company is on the way to Portland from Singapore, to be estab lished on the water front near University Park. Here the company owns 1000 feet of water front and 40 acres of land, where it will establish its plant The company had a large establishment at Singapore for the manufacture of cocoanut and some other articles, but owing to tho heavy tariff imposed in this country against this article tho company has pulled up its plant and is shipping It to Portland. A number of local capitalists are in terested In- the enterprise. P. L. Willis Is president of the company. Francis I. Mc Kenna, who is familiar with the move ments of tho company and Its objects, says that the machinery is on the way to Portland. He says that the company will put up. a large plant on the water front of the Peninsula, Including large buildings and a warehouse, and then manufacture Its articles here. Jt will mean the em ployment of a considerable force of men. IS PER3IANENT PASTOR, Rev. S. C. Lapliam's Call From Sec ond Baptist Church. At the morning services yesterday in the Second Baptist Church,' Rev. Stanton Lapham accepted the call which was extended him at the congregational meet ing last Wednseday evening. He there fore becomes the permanent pastor of the church which he has successfully piloted through a perilous period of its exist ence. He accepted a call for six months Immediately following the disruption and division of the members, a considerable portion of the latter withdrawing and set ting up a church of their own. Mr. Lapham has been counsel before the council of the churches and also the mutual council, and it was felt he was the man who could restore the old church organization and rebuild It if this were possible to be done. From the start the members rallied around him, and at tho close of his six-months' pastorate ten dered him a unanimous call to become permanent pastor. Mr. Lapham expressed his appreciation in accepting the call. He said that the church was generally prosperous, and that the outlook for a good work was most encouraging. Boy Desperadoes Suppressed. The arrest and conviction of the five boys In the East Side Justice Court for defacing buildings around the intersec tion of East First and Washington streets has proved a good thing. Property-owners report that no more depredations have been committed, nor have passen gers on the Southern Pacafic trains been annoyed by the. boys. Justice Seton holds the sentenco over the boys convicted in his court and any time may bring them In and Impose a fine on them. The property-owners were afraid to take any action against the gang, and C. M. Patter son took the risk. Preached in Centenary Clinrclt. Rev. W. D. Parr, D. D., of Philadelphia, occupied the pulpit of Centenary Meth odlst Church yesterday morning and evening. He Is an eloquent speaker. Mr. Parr Is secretary of the Methodist Church Extension Society and will represent that society In the Oregon conference, which meets In Salem on September 30. ACCUSES CLAN-NA-GAEL.
