Mud Gnows Deeper. Attention "was
called to the terribly muddy condition of
Front street a day or two ago, caused by
the hauling of earth from the excava
tion for the Welnhard block along that
street. The mud continues to grow deeper
and the business men along the street
more disgusted. They say that Contractor
Cook, when given permission to operate
his mud wagons on that street, promised
to clean up every night, but has made
no pretense of trying to do this. It Is
not expected that the street can be
mopped up, but the merchants say that
It might be scraped once in a while, at
least. The complainants will be pleased
to learn that Street Inspector Llllls was
directed by City Engineer Elliott to at
tend to the matter yesterday, and he will
probably be able to make Mr. Cook do
something toward removing the mud from
the stone-block pavement, as the street Is
almost impassable to pedestrians. The
late heavy rains flooded the excavation
In Weinhard's block, and caused the
street to cave down into It, which will
make trouble for Contractor Langford,
who was hurrying up the excavation so as
to be able to get in the retaining walls
before such cave-In could occur.
Sellwood Ferry Bonds Signed. The
bonds issued by .the city for the construc
tion of a ferry at Sellwood were signed
by Auditor Devlin and the president of
the Sellwood ferry committee, appointed
by the Mayor, yesterday and will at once
be forwarded to the buyers, E. Seymour
fc Co., of New York. There are SO $500
bonds in the lot. They bear 5 per cent in
tcrcst and run for 30 years, and the pre
mium paid on them was 4.16 per cent.
Thero are, therefore, 1800 coupons in the
lot, and the Mayor's office boy, who has
been putting in his spare time for three
or four months trimming the edges of
coupons which have been clipped from
city bonds and paid In the past so that
they may bo neatly posted in a record
book for preservation, will be through
with this job by the time these bonds are
redeemed and, as a middle-aged man,
will be "ready to trim the coupons cut
from thom. There will probably be more
bonds Issued before that time, the coupons
of which will keep the Angers of his
successors busy.
Hps and Downs in the Markets.
Housekeepers have for some time been
complaining that everything was dear,
and have been looking hopelessly forward
to a fall in prices as Spring approached.
Some things are declining, as eggs, which
have taken a tumble. A. countryman
with a basket of "strictly-fresh" on his
arm asked a dealer yesterday: "What Is
eggs worth?" "Oh, anything you can
get," was the reply; "about 28 cents."
This is bound to suit housekeepers better
than the 40 cents a dozen they had to
pay a while ago, and 15 cents by and by
will suit still bettor, but to offset this
potatoes and onions "has rlz." Dealers
who have been paying 60 cents per 100
pounds for potatoes and tho same for
onions, are now giving the farmers 75
cents per 100 pounds for potatoes, and
$1 per cental for onions. Life is full pi
ups and downs, and what Is gained on one
thing is lost on another, and very few
get out of the world alive. '
Filling Up a Gulch. Work on the fill
ing in of tho canyon under the Nlnteenth
street bridge, the width of the roadway,
is progressing in a very satisfactory man
ner, and the contract for putting In 10.
000 yards of earth there 'Will be completed
In about 15 days. The bridge Is between
Washington and Morrison streets, and as
the gulch is very deep there and the
bridge old and decaying. It Is very neces
sary to have a All the width of the road
way completed as soon as possible to pre
vent danger of any serious catastrophe
in case the bridge should tumble down,
which Is liable to happen at any time.
The City & Suburban Railway Company
have contributed 6600 yards of earth to
the fill. It will not require much more
earth to complete the job. which will be
finished as soon as it is practicable to ob
tain the earth necessary at a reasonable
expense.
Sewers Come High. Some of the prop
erty-owners on East Twenty-eighth
aro not happy because the as
cessment for the cost of a sewer just com
pletcd in that street amounts-to over $30
a lot, and now think that it ought to
have been a district sewer. It is, how
ever, only a lateral sewer, but a large
one, as several other laterals will flow
Into It, and many of the property-owners
who have been assessed for district sew
ers did not want this sewer made a dls
trict affair to bring another assessment
on them. Sewers come high, but in i
city it is Impossible to live under sanl
tan- conditions without them, so the
discontented ones will have to pay their
assessments and pocket their bills and
complaints.
Ready to Make Up Tax Roll. The
blank sheets for the county tax roll for
1904 were received yesterday by Assessor
'McDanlels from tho printer yesterday, a
pl'e heavy enough to make a load fori
stout man. mis is earner man usual
and heretofore it has been difficult to
get them by March J, which is as soon
as they are wanted. The work of filling
them up will not be commenced before
that date this year, as all the trans
fers of property up to that time have to
be included. It will take more men than
usual to write up the tax roll this year
on account or tne non-exempuon for ner
sonal tax, but there will be no trouble In
securing all tho penmen wanted.
EXCURSION TO EfiTACATJA. About 1000
people attended the excursion to Estacada
yesterday, most of whom took no lunch
and participated In the scramble and wait
for dinner. George C Brownell did the
Jim Blaine act of greeting his constitu
ents as well as opening the festivities at
the auction of lots. The first choice was
sold to a man who bid $310. thinking that
covered everything; he was dumfounded
when " he learned there was the price of
the lot. besides.

Vtevr Feoh Crrx Musrrm. All visitors
attending the various conventions in ses
sion In this city are cordially Invited to
call at the rooms of the Oregon Historical
Society, in the upper story of the City
Hall, and look over the collection of his
toric relics and documents on exhibition
there. People from any part of the Uni
ted States west of Missouri will be like
ly to find something there to remind them
of early days. There was a fine view or
the grand old snow peaks. Mount iiooa
and St. Helens, visible from these rooms
yesterday, and will be every day the sky
is clear. As they are 60 miles or more dis
tant -they are not visible in cloudy weath
er and Eastern people who spend several
days in Portland at this season are some- ;
times obliged, to their great disappoint
ment, to go home without having seen
them.
Officers Studt Their Business. The
officers of the National Guard In this city
are taking great Interest in the weekly
school at the Armory and about m are
present every evening. Last night the
subject of the lesson was "Battalion
Drill." The officers are not so much in
fluenced by the prospect of being ordered
up before the dellnqulncy court and fined
if they do not attend as tney are oy me
desire to keep themselves Informed in mlli-
tarv matters, as stair omcers, quarter
masters and adjutants In the National
liuaru nave now to snow au iuuuj auuui
drills, etc, as a line officer. All the na
tional Guard omcers in the state are talc
ing up this schooling now, and the Tesult
will be that they will ail be in gooa con
dition for active service whenever they
are needed.
Juggler Burs Pheasants. A brace of
the male Mongolian pheasants displayed
for sale in a coop on Front street was
sold yesterday to a sllgfit-of-hand pro
fessor, who took a fancy to them and
says he Is going to train them to be used
in his -performances, like the rabbit which
is found in a hat, and such tricks, which
such prestidlgitateurs have been perform
ing since Adam was a boy. He paid 53.50
for the birds and so Is not likely to have
them killed for breakast. The pheasant
is a very shrewd and intelligent bird and
brave aso. It will doubtless undergo the
training necessary as to good results, but
Is hardly likely to be able to conceal
Itself in a plug-hat, as well as a rabbit
can, on account ot the greater length and
size of Its tall.
Boys and Girls' Aid Soctett. The
regular monthly meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Boys and Girls' Aid So
ciety was held in the chambers of United
States Judge Gilbert at the temporary
Federal building yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock when there were present:
George H. Williams, president; F. E.
Beach, secretary; L. L. Hawkins, treas
urer; Judge C. B. Bellinger, Judge Gil
bert, A. H. Brlgman, Dr. T. U Eliot,
Mrs. Levy White, Mrs. C. R. Templeton.
Mrs. H. H. Northup and Superintendent
Gardner. The superintendent's report
showed that 43 children were received In
December, 31 out of this number being
entirely new cases. Eighteen boys are
now on the parole systems.
Got Even With the Telephone. The
cash-box attached to the pay telephone in
the lodging-house on the second floor or
the St, George Hotel building, at First and
Columbia streets, was blown open and
robbed of its contents, some $3 or J4.
probably about 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The noise of the explosion was
heard by several of the lodgers, but did
not attract much attention, so no one got
up to see what caused it. The door was
found In the morning laid on top of the
box. A similar robbery occurred on Main
street a few days ago. from which It
would appear that a professional tox
blower is at work here. The telephone
company will have to get fire-proof boxes
or empty them every evening.
Arrested for HOLD-Up.-John Biddell
was arrested last night on a charge of
larceny from the person. Ed Breen was
the complaining witness and Is held to
appear against him. Breen declares that
few nights ago he was encountered
on the street, between Union avenue and
Grand avenue, East Oak street, by two
men of trfhom Biddell was one. The other
man held him while Biddell went through
his pockets, taking $17 In cash. Biddell is
an awnlng-repalrer and has been in Port
land for some time. Breen Is said to be
at home where his hat is off and had
been robbed before on several occasions,
Officers Relslng and Wendorf made tho
arrest.
Reception Today From 3 to 5. The re
ception to the visiting ladies of the three
conventions tendered by the resident ladies
of Portland win be at the Portland Hotel
this afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. There
seems to have been some misunderstand
ing about the date and hour of this re
ception, the ladies are notified that the
correct hour is as above stated and not
from 2 until G as previously stated. The
visiting ladles will be received In the large
parlors at 3 and refreshments will be
served In the grill during the two hours
of the reception.
Bricks Are Poor in Qualitt. The
brick pavement on the east side of the
intersection of Stark and First streets is
badly worn in places and is undergoing
some rather extensive patching. There
is much heavy teaming over that inter
section and numerous railway tracks
there probably make matters worse for
the bricks, but any one who will examine
the worn places in the pavement will at
once decide that such a pavement of
such bricks is not a good Improvement
for that place.

ture on "Shakespeare and His Land,"

THEATER IS SAFE
The Baker Is Inspected Jfy
Council Committee.
AN UNEXPECTED VISIT PAID
Close Scrutiny During Livestock Con
vention Session Reveals Fact
That the Safety of Public Is
Carefully Protected.
One after another the Portland theaters
are to be Inspected by the committee ap
pointed for that purpose by the council,
and If necessary such alterations will be
ordered that the theater-going public may
attend In almost absolute safety.
The Baker Theater yesterday morning
was the nrst to receive an unexpected
visit from the committee. Two others.
SPOKANE SOCIETY GIRL VICTIM IN CLALLAM WRECK
vsaiaislislalalislaaislalaiaW-
MISS LOUISE
Cordray's and the Arcade, will see the 1
committee today. The Marquam will be '
Inspected later. No theater, public hall .
or music hall in the city will escape the
scrutiny of the committee.
The committee was picked for the pur
pose at the last Council meeting. Coun
cilman A. K. Bentley, a man of building
experience, Is the chairman. H. W. God-
dard. of the Executive Board; P.. Martin,
Jr., President of the Architects' Associa
tion; J. B. Bridges, President of the Mas
ter Builders' Association, and Chief
Campbell, of the Fire Department, com
plete the committee. Yesterday W. R.
Roberts, the city fire marshal and Insur
ance Inspector, attended" the preliminary
meeting, and then accompanied the com
mittee to the Baker Theater.
After climbing perpendicular ladders to
the flies, crawling over "props" of all
kinds, and nosing into obscure corners,
the committee left the Baker Theater at
noon yesterday with the frank declara
tion to Manager George I Baker that
It was surprised at the number of pre
cautions he had taken to protect his
patrons. Though they considered his the
ater safe, yet they asked for a few minor
changes to insure safety in almost any
event. These were promised readily by
Mr. Baker.
The committee met In the City Hall and
listened to the reading of the building
ordinance before going to the theater.
They had forgotten all about the session
of tho livestock men, and at the door
started to retreat.
"No, let's go through it now, while the
house Is filled with people," said Chief
Campbell. "That's the very time we ought
to see things."
So In went the committee. And while
the orators were telling how the railroad
rates were killing the livestock Industry
the committee, hidden a few feet from
the sneakers, was trying to figure out
just what would happen should a fire
break out at that identical moment.
What the committee wants In the Baker
Theater Is one additional exit in front,
leading from the main floor to Third
street, automatic sprinklers over the
stage, and hooks ready at all times to
pull down anything on fire. Other appli
ances which were asked for had already
been ordered by Manager Baker.
These included arc lights on a special
wire, separate from the theater circuit,
to keep the house lighted In case the
regular Incandescent lamps should be ex
tinguished from any cause. With the
same purpose in view large gas arcs had
been placed in all the exits so that under
no conceivable circumstances could the
theater be left in darkness. A new and
large exit from the balcony had also been
cut some days ago.
What the committee wants to see placed
In every theater in the city is a ground
plan of the house, showing every exit.
This plan is to be drawn upon the drop
curtain In such a way that every person
In the house could see just how he could
escape from his seat In case of an alarm
of fire. The curtain is to be lowered be
tween the acts.
Fire buckets and extinguishers are to
be ready at all times, and In plain view,
so that they may be handled by any one.
The word "exit" Is to be written over
each outlet In large letters. This, with
the plan upon the curtain, will insure
almost absolute protection.
Ushers are to call the attention of the
audience to the various entrances as it Is
passing out. In Cincinnati it seems theater-going
people have the habit of going
out of every entrance. This custom is to
be inculcated into the minds of Portland
ers. If the Inspection committee has any
thing to say.
It Is probable that in one or two the
aters a few seats will have to be taken
out that the aisles may be made wider.
Unknown to most people, apparently. In
cluding builders, Portland has a very
strict lot of fire and building ordinances,
but for the .greater part -they are a dead
letter. In the ordinance regulating the
aters provision is made for the width of
the aisle?, exits, stairways and doors.
Not only In theaters, but in all hall
buildings 'and almost all structures, in
fact, in which, a body of persons may at
any "time be congregated the stairways
are to be made of Iron, coated with slate
Or marble. This Is another provision
which has generally escaped the memory
of the builders. But It sounded just and
reasonable to the committee when read.
and -will in all probability be enforced.
W0TJLD HOT BE BETIBED.
Senator Warren Tells Why General
Randall Was Not Promoted.
"The conspicuous absence of General
George M. Randall's name among the
Brigadier-Generals who were made Major
Generals last week must have been a sur-
prise to his Portland friends," said Sen-
a I
ator Francis E. "Warren, of Wyoming,
President of the National "Woolgrowers
Association, last night, "for it Is not
known that he wa3 offered tho opportunity
to be advanced and retired.
"The reason he was passed over was
because General Chaffee, who rose from
the Tanks, wanted a man with, a technical
education of warfare among- tne Major-
Generals, and George L. Gillespie, Chief of
"Bneinears. was the man for the place. If
Randall had been willing to "be promoted
and retired, he would have been promoted
in the regular order, but the retirement
clause did not suit him. He prererrea to
remain a Brigadier In active service than
be retired at 62 on three-quarters pay.
"It was not because the President bad
HARRIS.
neglected him that he was not promoted,
for President Koosevelt spoke to me in
person about Randall, knowing that he
was a friend of mine, and explained the
circumstances. I cabled to Randall in the
Phllinnlnes and asked him what he in
tended to do. He answered that he Mid
not wish to be retired and would remain a
Brigadier.
"Anyone who knows General Randall's
career will appreciate his stand. Fortun
ately, he has two years yet to run, and
before his time comes to be retired in
the regular order of events he will be
made a Major-General, as there will be an
opening for promotion before that time.
"I was in Washington at the time the
whole thing was talked over, and I know
that he would have been advanced If It
had not been for the fact that he was
a practical soldier and a tactician was
needed."
PATH TOMORROW NIGHT.
World's Greatest Singer Will Appear

Tomorrow night at the Armory, Tenth
and Couch streets, the grandest society
and musical event in the history of the
state, Adellna PattI, the world's greatest
singer, together with her company of
artists, will be heard in concert. The press
of San Francisco has been most lavish in
the praises of this remarkable woman,
who has proved herself to be not only the
greatest but the most marvelous singer
of the century. The following artist are
with Pattl: Miss Vera Margoller, . pianist;
Miss Roza Zamels, violinist; Mr. Wilfred
Verlgo. principal tenor of the London
Philharmonic; Anton Hegner, 'cello-vlr-

ONE MORE NEW THEATER.
Popular Demand for Amusement
Drives Grocery Off Washington.
Within a few days singers, dancers and
theatrical performers of all kinds will

and all the plunder of a grocery store
was wont to be. Frank Munroe, a theat
rical manager of Seattle, has leased the
premises on Washington street formerly
occupied by Fellows' grocery store, and
will shortly open a theater there, cater
ing especially to ladies and children. It
will be named the Park Theater.
Mr. Munroe paid the previous occupant
something like 52000 to vacate the prem
ises, ana wnue tne grocery store was
moving out of the front, the contractors
were at work pulling down partitions In
the back, and building a stage.

miss Louise Harris, spokane,
VICTIM OF CLALLAM WRECK.
BeautifuLand Accomplished Young
Woman Was Well Known In
Portland and Seattle
The list of fatalities caused by the
wreck, of the Ill-fated steamer Clallam in
the Straits of Fuca early Friday morn
ing had the name of Miss Louise liar-
rls, of 8pokane. added to it Miss Har
l st!? anvntai tT N tb I n A fine
rls. only daughter of Mrs. Carrie and
"William J. Harris, was an unusually
beautiful and accomplished young so
ciety girl, had many friends In Portland
and Seattle to whom the sad news of her
death comes as a great shock. She had
frequently visited Portland In company
with her mother, and last Summer they
occupied a cottage at Seaside which
was all season the center of attraction
for the younger social set. There are
lew towns on the Pacific Coast where
young folks who met her will not mourn
her untimely death.
Rarely doe3 one meet with so gifted
and accomplished a young- woman as
was Miss Harris. She was of a charm
ing disposition and made hosts of friends.
Her musical ability was such as comes
only to those who are naturally talented.
and she played the piano, violin ana
mandolin with equal skill. Miss Harris
parents were both wealthy and she had
every desire gratified, xet witn so mucn
to live for. her life was forfeited, and
her heartbroken parents are prostrated
with grief over the loss of. their only
child.
"When the news of their daughter's
death reached Mr. and Mrs. Harris they
immediately started for Port Townsend,
Dr. H. B. Luhn, Mrs. George M. Forster
and Miss Josephine Yates, the latter an
Intimate friend of the dead girl, accom
panying the party. "When they reached
Seattle Miss Yates telephoned to Mr.
Brandt "Wlckersham, of this city, who
was also an intimate friend of the Har
ris family, and at her suggestion Mr.
"Wlckersham joined the party in Seattle.
"When the family left Spokane there was
a faint hope that their daughter might
be picked up alive, as the life-boat had
been sighted floating near an Island, but
when the boat was Anally reached Miss
Harris dead body was found In It
"Whether she had died from exposure or
was drowned is not known. The body
was taken to Spokane last night.
The Victoria Hotel, which has lately
been built in Spokane, was the property
of Miss Harris, and she and her mother
were living there at the time of her death.
They had planned a trip around the world
this "Winter, but a delay In the comple
tion of this hotel caused them to change
their plans. Miss Harrlr, decided to go
to Victoria to tvlslt Mr. and Mrs. C. H.
Bellinger ofthat city, and It was on her
way there she met her death. She vis
ited in Seattle Thursday with Mrs. H. H.
Mllburn, who was a Spokane girl before
her marriage, leaving Friday morning on
the doomed vessel. It was rarely that
Miss Harris ever traveled without her
mother, as they were constant com
panions. During her visits to Portland Mrs.
Harris and her daughter stopped at the
Portland Hotel, but received much at
tention from friends here. They were
intimate friends of Miss Laura Dunn and
Mrs. H. C. Judge.
EASY WAY TO GET A GUN.
Man Rushes Into House and Borrows
Pistol to Chase Robbers.
"I've been held up and robbed of 54. If
I had a revolver, I could catch the thief."
The speaker was a frightened Individual.
who had rushed Into a resldenoe at 252
Seventh street last night shortly after
dark. The lady ot the house was alone,
but she wanted to see the robbers cap
tured. Rushing to a room, she came forth
with a dangerous-looking revolver, hold
ing It at arm s length.
The victim of the alleged hold-up pro
duced a card as evidence of his good
faith and disappeared. She called the po
lice later, and they are now looking for
the man that was held up, for he has the
revolver, and neither he nor the gun have
been heard of since. The name, on tho
card was C. W. Tyson, who Is connected
with the National Cash Register Com
pany. The lady says that she never saw
the man before, and had not the slightest
idea whether she was assisting the right
Mr. Tyson, or whether a game wa3
worked on her to gain possession of her
gun. Offlcer Goitz and Detective Kerrigan
are working on the case.

It Is always hot, always
ready, clean and bright. No
matter where you want to
use it, whether in kitchen,
sewing room or laundry, u
is but a small matter to con
nect it to the electric light
circuit. It is quickly heated
and remains heated as long
as the current is on. Espe
cially in the sewing room,
where a hot iron is often
needed, will this be appre
ciated from the fact that U
reques no fire and no run
