Street Signs but No Schews. Over
15,000 of the enameled steol street-signs
ordered some months ago by the Execu
tive Board have arrived. Less than 3000
are yet to come. Ninety thousand brass
screws will bz required. to fasten the signs
vpon the boards which are to he at
tached to telegraph and telephone poles
cn every street corner of the city on
bath sides of the river. The screws have
r.it put in an appearance, and the whole
sale hardware houses are being drawn
upon to supply a few hundred that the
City Engineer's Department may proceed
with the work of placing them upon the
boards. In the ordinary course of trade
this number of screws of this pattern
would not have been sold in Portland in
ten .years, and the local firms have but
a short supply. The boards bearing the
signs will be nailed to poles, the Execu
tive Board declining to incur the expense
cf tac long screws recommended.

SHARP AND PROFITABLE. When

".What Is Our True Policy" Is the sub
ject of a pointed and well-written article
In the issue of March 21. 1864. The Ore
gonlan warmly advocates the Investment
of local wealth in the establishment pf a
line of packets between Portland and
San Francisco as "the surest and most
profitable of any speculation In which our
moneyed men can engage. We have the
money, the enterprise, the Intelli
gence and all other perquisites for
the prosecution of such an undertaking If
our fellow-citizens would only put them
to work. The shipments to California and
Vlotorla from this port of fruit alone, has
exceeded 1200 tons per month, and per
haps for somo months reached nearer 2000
tons, by steamer."
Oregon fruit waa evidently appreciated
and in demand as early as 1SG4 in our sis
ter state.

MAKING ANNUAL DEAL.
Leatherworkers and Employers DIs
agree on Scale of Wages.
The annual dicker between the harness
and saddlemakers and their employers Is
on, and everybody is having a holiday. It
would be- putting It too strong to call It a
strike, as they do this sort of thing every
year at this time.
The Leatherworkers' Union drew up n
contract for the employers to sign last
Friday night, stating what It considered
reasonable wages for the different classes
of workmen in the business for the ensu
ing year. This was to be signed by 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon or the men
would walk out. The employers were not
too ready to submit and did not arrive at
tbo state of mind necessary to put their
names to the document by the time
named. The exodus of workmen fol
lowed.
Moreover, the employers did not think
they would not be ready to come to terms
by today, and they did not consider it
dignified to submit too quickly, so they
told the delegation that waited upon them
that they would meet It at 11 o'clock this
forenoon and decide upon the scale of
wages.
The managers of the firms affected by
the stipulation, the Breyman Leather
Company, the John Clark Company and
the George Lawrence Company, stated
yesterday that the event vas nothing un
usual and an amicable arrangement would
be reached today. They wore not inclined
to admit that the trouble was regarding
pay, but occurred simply because they
had not responded to the unionV demands
quickly enough.
"Every year we lose several days com
ing to an agreement," said one of the
managers. "The leatherworkers are reas
onable enough, but on some points we
usually have a little trouble In coming to
an understanding."
Other sources of Information Indicate
that the trouble has been occasioned by
the desire of the manufacturers to cut
down the price on the piecework done by
the harnessraakers. Men of this class now
make $19.50 to $20 a week on piecework.
They are satisfied with this, but their
employers wish to change the prices paid
on certain pieces of work so that they
cannot make quite so much. The reduc
tlon comes In the fact that they find at
the end of the week that, though they
have done as much work, the price of
their piecework does not figure up as high
as under the present scheme. The man
agers do not admit this condition.
Practically all the harnessmakers in
town are union men and there Is seldom
any trouble about nonunion labor In that
trade. But at Cronln Bros.' shop, where
ten or a dozen men are employed, there
have been some nonunion men, and for .a
week the union men have been theraten
Ing to leave It these men were not dls
charged. Their withdrawal came at the
same time with the general strike, but
was actuated by a different reason, as
Cronln Bros, wert willing to come to
their workers' terms. Vork will probably
begin in tneir snop as quickly as any
where, but whether the nonunion men will
be allowed to continue at their benches
'and machines has not appeared.
"Whether we go to work again depends
upon the agreement about the rivet strap
work." .said a man wno works a machine
"We say it should be done by the regu
lar Journeymen, but the employers leave
it to apprentices, and that cuts down the
pay. We always have these disagreements
whenever we want anything, hut we do
not always strike to get them. Last Sum
mer we struck for a week before we could
get a reduction In our hours, but our de
mands arc so mild now that it will be set
tled "all right tomorrow."
BAKERS ON A STRIKE.
Demand for Higher Wages Causes
Contest In Many Shops.
A strike among the journeymen bakers
of the city began last night, and many
oi tne largest bakeries are shut down
or are producing only as much bread as
the owners can make themselves.
The Bakers' Union has demanded an ad
vance in wages from $22.50 and $25 a week
to $23 and $2S a week for foremen, and
from $16 and $1S to" $15 and $20 a week for
bench-hands, and the employers have in
most cases refused the demand. In some
of the , small shops both parties have
worked their way around the demand by
arranging that the journeymen shall be
taken in as nominal partners, paying $1
for an interest in the business and con
tinuing to work at the old wages. Only
.nino or ten of the smaller owners have
signed the advanced 6cale and the larger
ones arc holding out.
-There are about S3 bakeries in tho city
and about 50 men are on strike

"What Is the name of the new play this
week?" asked Johnny Jones of his friend,
Johnny Smith, outside Baker's Theater
yesterday afternoon, "Humbug!" said
Smith, sharply. "I asked you the name
of the play," repeated Jones, in an in
jured tone, "I don't want comments."
Suddenly they saw they had been play
ing at cross purposes, and both laughed.
In a few minutes they were under the
spell of the comedy made famous by
Roland Reed, "Hu,mbug," and joined the
crowd of laughing people Inside the thea
ter. Even the hardoned stage hands
laughed at the feast of wit, and the or
chestra men laughed so much that they
nearly forgot to supply the music. No
comedy has been received with more de
light this season at Baker's than "Hum
bug," and it is a most welcome farewell
offering by the Baker Theater Company.
C. E. Inslee appears in a wonderful
character part as Jacob Bartz, a German
shoemaker, and William Dills la close be
hind him as an agitated father searching
for his long-lost sort. Esther Lyon as
Mrs. Aramlnda Bertram-Ponsdy-Luster,
Is a great success, and her partner In
equal merit is George Alison, who Is Jack
Luster, maker of ludicrous fabrications.
William Bernard, as Ned Ramsey, sings a
funny song, "Don't You Know?" contain
ing refrences to the ISOo Fair. Mlna C.
Gleason and Oza Waldrop have congenial
parts. By all means see "Humbug,"
sometime this week at Baker's.
DEMAND FOR WAREHOUSES.
Good Price for Thirteenth-Street Site
Chinaman's Building Project.
The real estate market has been very
erratic of late. The beginning of the
year pointed to great activity in broad
ening out the retail district, but very
little is heard of that now, though sev
eral buildings are going up north of Wash
ington street, particularly for that pur
pose.
Then there was a streak of activity in
the apartment-house district, but for a
week or more no additional sales In that
locality have been made public. Within
a month the neighborhood of First and
Madison streets has seen a number of
good sales. The latest of these has only
just been made. This is the southwest
corner of First and Madison, for many
years tne site of the Keller butcher
market. J. S. Keller has owned the cor
ner for many years, but sold It last week
to the R. H. Lamson estate for $26,000.
Warehouse property on lower Thir
teenth street Is now the subject of certain
rises In price. This street Is the only
one upon which a railroad siding has
been laid. The result Is that prices asked
for warehouse sites which abut on this
street are almost twice the price of other
sites. However, there does not seem to
be any movement towards building sidings
out other streets In the neighborhood.
But It will be necessary soon, as available
sites on Thirteenth are becoming scarce.
A very good sale was made there last
week when W. T. Branch bought of the
Burrell Investment Company the north
east corner of Thirteenth and Lovejoy
for 524,500. There Is a one-story brick
warehouse on the site, occupied by W. P.
Fuller & Co., but It Is not especially
valuable and does not bring In a rent
comparable to the price paid, If made
simply as an investment. There is a
certain rivalry among Urms needing
warehouses 'to get good sites in the
locality and the price of property has
been raised In that way.
One disappointment has come to the
city In the announcement that Duong
long, tne uninaman wno oougnt me
northwest corner of Seventh and Stark
streets under the name of tho American
Investment Company, has given up his
Intention to build a four-story brick
store and office building and will only run
up a frame apartment-house. A. W.
Gattls, formerly chief clerk of the Im
perial Hotel, and Mrs. M. E. Curtis, prop
rietor of a lodging-house In the neighbor
hood, are to run the house.
It Is only recently that the true name
of tho purchaser of the property has
been known. He feared that the fact of
his being a Chinaman might make It
difficult for him to rent his building. As
Chinamen are not allowed to buy prop
erty In this country, his deed Is" made
out In the form of a 99-year lease, with
the privilege of renewal at the end of
that time.
VICTIM OF THE OLD GAME.
Young Man From Minneapolis Buys
Experience, Price $65.
William Hansen, an unsophisticated
young man from Minneapolis, went up
against a sure-thing game on Saturday
evening to the tune of $65. He told De
tectives Day and Welner about It yester
day afternoon and less than an hour later
L. R. Dayton, one of the bunco nien, was
locked up at the City Jail.
Hansen arrived here from Minneapolis
on Friday and secured a room at the Ho
tel Scott, Seventh and Burnslde streets.
On Saturday he walked about the city
in- quest of work and at Sixth and Wash
ington streets mot Dayton, who Inquired
where the Postoffice was. Upon Hansen's
reply that he was a stranger, Dayton also
said he had Just "arrived from New York,
where he had been practicing medicine.
An acquaintance was soon formed and
the men walked about town together
nearly all afternoon. By appointment Day
ton met Hansen at Sixth anoV Washington
streets at 7 o'clock in the evening to go
to the' theater together. They walked up
Washington street where the third party
was met. Of course he was a stranger to
both of .the men and after making some
inquiries asked them to have a drink. At
a table In the rear of the barroom they
showed each other tricks and finally be
gan to match half dollars. Hansen did
not win once. Of course Dayton lost too.
The stranger would always hold tails and
Dayton told Hansen to always turn heads
and he would do the same. The game
proceeded until Hansen was minus $65,
nearly all the money he had, and then the
stranger left Dayton and Hansen. When
Dayton gave Hansen the slip he com
menced to think he had been the prey of
the sharks and Dayton was' soon arrested.
He is a well-dressed man of 29 years,
wears nose glasses, is rather good looking
and would never be suspected of the crime
with which he Is charged. No clew to
the other bunco man has been found.

It Is always hot, always
ready, clean and bright. No
matter where you want to
use it, whether in kitchen,
sewing room or laundry, it
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 it
requires no fire and no run
ning to and from the kitchen.
