weight of the paper would require a

found necessary to Increase the size
of the paper. A number of papers
addressed to outside parties are held
at the Portland Postoffice for lack of

Bast Side residents is Bad Plight.
Residents on Hawthorne avenue east of
East Eleventh street complain bitterly o
the condition of that "no thoroughfare."
They say a contract for grading gravel
ing and sidcwalklng the avenue from
East Eleventh to East Twentieth street
was let early last Spring but no pretense
of commencing the work was made until
after the rains began last Fall. Then the
contractors ripped up everything between
the streets mentioned, sidewalks and
crosswalks. After a while sidewalks were
laid and some crosswalks, but the avenue
has not been graveled and is a slough of
despond and mud. There Js not a cross
walk between East Twelfth and East Six
teenth streets. Where some of the walks
ought to be there are piles of mud in
which one trying to cross will sink to the
knees. Occasionally, at long Intervals,
there is a pretense made of starting the
improvement o the street, but It never
amounts to -anything, and residents are
obliged to patronize the street railway
or stay at home. They feel much ag
grieved, but are not in so bad a fix as a
resident of Upper Alblna, north of Shaver
street. A railway has Just been built
or is being built along Shaver street, and It
is not practicable to cross it on foot. Res
idents on the north side have to travel
up to Union avenue, go i to Vancouver
and ride back in order to get south of
Shaver street, so they do not come over to
the city very often. There is a law re
quiring contractors for street improve
ments to get the work done within cer
tain limits, and it might be enforced, but
it never is.
Interior Mills in Hard Ltjck. Robert
Alexander, formerly of this city, who has
been in the lumber and round timber
business at Cottage Grove, Lane' County,
for the past six years, operating one of
the 150 sawmills of the Willamette and
Umpqua Valleys, was In Portland yes
terday on his way to San Francisco. He
says that owners of these country saw
mills generully are inclined to feel that
they have been shut out of business by
the 50 per cent advance in rates on lum
ber made by the Southern Pacific, which
went Into effect January 1. California
tvus really the only outside market these
mills had for their timber, and It is now
Impossible to compete at points accessi
ble by water transportation. The country
mills haw .managed, to hold a, share of
busln under uny rates heretofore made,
and hope that there will still be some
chance for them at Interior points in Cali
fornia. Mr. Alexander Is going down
there to look Into the situation and see
what their chances are.
Eager to Sell War Supplies. Port
land people are not the only ones who
are watching the movements of the Jan
anese and Russians, and hope to derive
profit from any trouble that may arise In
the Orient by supplying either or both
sides. Already officers of the Oregon
Regiment are receiving circulars from
dealers in camp and cooking equipments,
mess chests, combination and folding fur
niture and every comfort and convenience
needed by soldiers in the field or in the
hospitals. Pictures of mess chests show
a complete table outfit for six for 550, and
a camp kitchen with cooking utensils, pro
vision cannlsters, etc, for 20 men, costs
?40, and Includes a gridiron, butcher's
cleaver and a tin shovel for turning flap
Jacks, and many other things. Some
Company H men. Second Oregon, have
been going through these circulars care
fully, and wishing that they may have a
chance to try the outfits.
Excavating for New Building. The
work of excavating for the basement of
the six-story office building, 50x100, to be
erected by W. D. Fenton, on Sixth street,
near Oak, was commenced yesterday
morning. Frlberg Bros., who have the
contract for the masonry and brick work
of the structure, had surveyors at work
yesterday measuring the amount of earth
to be removed, so as to know how much
they must pay for hauling It away. A
survey was necessary to ascertain this
on account of there being an old basement
on part of the lot. The earth is being
removed by C J. Cook, and it Is being
hauled by way of Front street and Morrison-street
bridge to make a fill on
the. East Side. So Front street Is not
likely to be cleaned up for a while.

but they all come from Southern " Cali

have rather an antiquated appearance
and give one an idea that last Fall Is

Sea-bathing nin Winter. Oregoniana
'who go to watering -places on the Coast
of Southern California at this time of
year, in search of a balmy climate, put
themselves to unnecessary- trouble and
expense. J. W. Cruthers, who has Just
returned from LVong Beach, -where he
spent the holiday season -with a party of
seven,, says he has visited every water
ing place on the Coast of California, from
San Francisco to San Diego and sever
found such lovely weather as he experi
enced during his late stay tt Long Beach.
There were no chilly mornings, no fog, no
rain, no wind. Just clear, bright, sunshiny
days, so warm that no wraps or overcoats
were needed. The -whole party went ln
bathing on. Christmas day. and regularly
every second day during their stay and
found it very enjoyable. They also en
Joyed the usual Summer sports of clam
ming and spent a whole day boating in
Shoalwater Bay, gathering native and
transplanted Eastern oysters, being made
welcome to help themselves by the oys
termen. They dug lots of the squaw clams,
which inhabit the mud flats there, and
had a fine time generally. The weather
was rather enjoyable in Portland during
most of the holiday season, but there were
some raw. chilly mornings, some fogs and
rain, and the sun did not shine all the
time. To one who intimated that he
thought Mr. Cruthers had painted his
account of life at Long Beach in rather
roseate hues, he replied that he had pho
tographs of the party bathing on Christ
mas day, and gave as references H. J.
Biddle and family and other reputable
persons. People in nearly the same lati
tude East, where the thermometer was
below zero during most of the holiday
season, will hardly be able to realize
that sea-bathing was enjoyable at that
time on the coast of Oregon and Washing
ton. Discovers Fountain of Youth Cap
tain "Dick" Lemon, for many years a.
stevedore In this port, who. on account
of falling health, and inability to work,
went to Alaska in 1897, and has been
there ever since, mining and prospect
ing, returned last Saterday, in good health
and spirits, and with money in his pockets.
He received a rousing welcome from his
old friends, but says he Is greatly sur
prised at the changes he sees on every
hand and says he can hardly find his
way about He is making his home at
the Imperial Hotel for the present, where
he will be pleased to see any of his old
friends. He says the recovery of his
health is owing to a mineral hot spring,
whlhc he discovered 30 miles up the
Stickeen River, and he is anxious to have
any one In poor health take treatment
there free of cost, and will guarantee
that they will be made sound in less than
a month. The water, which is very hot,
is Impregnated with sulphur, Iron, arsenic,
and magnesia and cures all the ills that
flesh Is heir to. The spring is. however,
Inaccessible till about May 1, being sur
rounded by glaciers, but in the Summer
season there Is fine hunting for mountain
goats and sheep and porcupines by the
thousand, and fine salmon and mountain
trout can be caught by the millions by
Just merely dropping them a line. Captain
Lemon expects to return to Alaska about
April 1. He says he has received Tho Qre
gonian during his whole stay in Alaska,
hardly missing it at any time.
Great Change in Fair Grounds. The
work of Improving the grounds for the
Lewis and Clark Fair Is progressing rap
idly, owing to the favorable weather for
outside work. The traction engine, with a
train of four wagons, has been running
since before January 1, hauling gravel
from a pit at the head of Lovejoy street,
and six to eight tralnloads of 12 yards
each has been spread .dally on the main
road or street extending from the main
entrance through the grounds. The ex
cavation for the pumping station on the
edge of the lake, from which water Is to
be pumped to the large tanks built to
contain a euuply for irrigating the
grounds and sprinkling the roads and
drives "ft about completed and work has
been begun on the concrete foundation for
the station. Mr. Hammond, who has the
contract for dredging the lake to the re
quired depth has his dredge anchored in
the lake. A portion of the bulkhead has
been completed with an apron In front,
up which the large scraper, operated by
a rope extending from the dredge to the
shore, is dragged to empty its contents,
behind the bulkhead which is to form the
wharf line along the edge of the lake.
The work of Improvement has all been
carefully planned and mapped out. It Is
progressing in a systematic manner and
a vast change is being made in the ap
pearance of the grounds.
Makes Trouble for Letter -Carriers.
The attention of the City Engineer has
been called by the postal authorities to
the fact that there are quite a number of
houses In this city which are not prop
erly numbered, and some on which there
are no numbers. This is a cause of
trouble and confusion in the matter of the
delivery of mail, causing the delivery of
letters to the wrong person in some in
stances and preventing delivery to the
persons to whom mail is addressed in
others. The matter is up to tho house
holders and the letter-carriers. It would
be an almost endless task for anyone to
go all over the city and find the houses
which are not correctly numbered. The
residents of such places ought to know
that these numbers are not right, and
should attend to having them made right.
There Is a city ordlnace of long standing
requiring householders to have their
houses properly numbered and anyone
falling to do this is liable, on conviction,
to a fine of $5 per day for every day tho
offense Is continued. Letter-carriers, who
find houses not properly numbered should
notify the occupants of this fact, and if
the matter is not attended to cause their
arrest and have them fined. The City En
gineer Is powerless In the matter.
Discuss Need of More Schools. A
number of citizens are of the opinion that
the amount which Director Wittenberg
has requested be provided for additions
and extensions to school buildings during
the year Is larger than necessary. In order
to arrive at a proper understanding of
this matter, Messrs. William M. Ladd,
A. L. Mills and other prominent taxpay
ers met with City Superintendent Rigler
yesterday to discuss the needs of the city
in the way of school buildings and arrive
at some conclusion in regard to the sum
required. They all took a liberal view of
tho matter, saying that the full amount
needed should be provided. The result of
their Investigations will be mode known
to the taxpayers at their annual meeting
and will doubtless have weight with them.
WoiiAN's Club Meets Todat. This af
ternoon the Woman's Club will meet at
2 o'clock In the Selllng-Hlrsch building.
The meeting promises to be one of espe
cial Interest, as the programme has been
devoted, at the request of the Sacajawea
Society, to studies of the American abor
igines. There will be some valuable relics
on exhibition, and the decorations will be
in accord with the picturesque quality of
Indian art. The afternoon tea will con
form to the unusual requirements and
will include the most approved dainties
of die Indian epicure. Members may bring
visitors according to the rules of the club.
Rapid Work on Store Building. The
skeleton steel frame for the Sixth-street
extension of Olds, Wortman & King's
department store. Is now being put up
rapidly. An electric motor is used for
handling and hoisting the steel, and a
donkey engine operates an elevator to
carry barrow ioads of bricks and mortar
to the workmen. Tho electric motor Is only
about the size of a bushel basket, but it
contains several bushels of energy, and
the manner in which it hoists heavy steel
beams astonishes the beholders. "Stand
from under" Is the watchword In and In
front of the structure at present.
To Elect Department Chaplain. The
council of administration of the Grand
Army of the Republic will meet at 24&
Union avenue Saturday. January 30, for
the purpose of electing a department
chaplain to fill the place lately vacated by
the resignation ot Daniel Drew. The
date of the encampment at Hood River
win also be fixed upon at this meeting.

Prepare for. Shooting Xouknamknt.
Sportsmen, who have found out that they
cannot shoot ducks, are planning to de
vote their Sundays to getting- even on the
fragile And harmless blue rocks, which
can fly about as fast as mallards, but
can only go In ths direction In which they
are sent A large number of the sports
men have arranged to shoot Sundays at
the City View grounds as practico pre
paratory to entering at the annual tour
nament .of the Pendleton Sportsmen's As
sociation, which comes off at Pendleton
January 22 to 26. Many prizes are prom
ised for the winners of events, and there
Is 5450 added money, for some one, which
the Lobster Club, of this city, hopes to
capture, as there are 420 targets and no
body is barred.
Wild West Show for Fair. J. L-.
Miller, & Drews ey. Or., rancher and
broncho buster, is planning a wild west
show for service during the Lewis and
Clark Exposition. In a communication to
Secretary Reed, yesterday. Miller states
that he and the cowboys in his employ
will be able to' give an exhibition of an ap
proved order and one that would open the
eyes of Easterners who attend the Fair.
He offers 5100 to anyone who will briny a
horse forward he cannotHde. and Invites
the Fair officials to send an agent to the
ranch to see exhibitions of broncho bust
ing and fancy revolver shooting. The com
munication was placed on file for future
reference.

MEXICO OF DIFFERENT MIND.
No Likelihood That It Will Resume
Relations With the Vatican. -
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 7. The news from
Rome that Pope Plus X has appointed
Mgr. Serafino, Bishop of Spoletto, apos
tolic delegate to Mexico, Instead of apos
tolic visitor,- as was reported, excites
some interest here, as the telegram as
serts that the Vatican considers this as
the first step towards the resumption of
diplomatic relations between Mexico and
the Holy See- At present there appears
no likelihood that the Mexican Govern
ment Intends to resume direct relations
with the Vatican.
The existing constitution makes distinct
the separation of the church and state
and the government grants Impartial pro
tection to all denomlnatlona The reform
laws decreed in the time of President
Juarez are in force and nobody thinks of
repealing them.
For these reasons there is some curi
osity felt here as to what grounds the
Vatican has for believing it can enter
into diplomatic relations with this coun
try. Archbishops to Visit Rome.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7. Following recent
statements that at the meeting of the
Catholic hierarchy, to be held January 31
In Washington, plans weie to be discussed
for the establishment of an American
primate, it is now reported that eight of
the 14 archbishops in the United States
have- planned .a trip tn Rome.
Thsir object is to discuss at the Vatican
the creation of the primate for America,
and the abolishing of the apostolic dele
