fcot. It is expected to be completed by
the first of the year. At first it -was in
tended to put up a building that would
(;ost $6000, but the first plans have ex
panded until the present contracts on the
-jiew structure-run up to $10,000 and over,
but the management will have a building
every way suited to the work. The pres

east side of the ground, can hardly accom

many more, and others have to be turned
away for "want of room. Hence it was
decided to make a hospital out of it and
put up a new building for the home. The
old building is now being fitted for hos

be "occupied by the babies until the com- '

Mrs. Maris Hammerlinck, who conducts
a saloon at Front and Columbia streets.
George Smith, age&JS years, enjoyed
protractea spreena ronowea tne spree
by shooting himself to death some time be
tween tne nours or o ana 10 o clock yes
terday morning in hl3 room at 346
Front street Smith fired but one shot,
which pierced his heart and caused In
stant death. When found by Mike Gun
dle the dead man was in his bed, his
right hand still tightly clasping the gun
with which he had taken his own life.
Smith had been married and was the
father of two sons, one of whom is at
present working for sl transfer company
in Vancouver, Wash. He was addicted to
the liquor habit and because of it was
known to the police.
Smith made the acquaintance of Mrs.
.wammenincK recently and expressed a
desire to marry her and settle down again.
She refused him because of his love for
the flowing bowl, and on August 1 he
went to hor, exhibited -a revolver and
threatened to kill her If she did not com
ply with his wishes. He was arrested on
a charge of threatening to kill, was found
"guilty by Judge Hogue and fined $50. Be
ing unable to pay the fine, Smith was
obliged to serve in jail until August 25,
After being released Smith appeared
at the central station and asked for the
revolver which had been taken from him
at the time of his arrest This is the
weapon with which he committed sui
cide. From the time of his release until
he killed himself, Smith was on a spree,
and the crime was evidently committed
In a moment of despondency. The case
was plainly suicide and there will be no
inquest
Deputy Coroner Baldwin took, charge of
the body and ordered it removed to Flnley's
undertaking establishment Smith was
member of the Sons of Herman in good

last night whether they could give the

clause In the by-laws of the organization
which forbids funeral services of the order

IS NO SECRET TO IT
Railroad Row Solves Northern
Pacific Purchase..
SAYS TERMINALS ARE NEEDED
No Announcement as to Future Use
of Weldler Property Has Been
Made, but Unofficial Infor
mation Sounds Plausible.
Just what the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company expects to do with the George
R. Weldler property on Tont street.
which was purchased by it on August 26,
is a matter of mystery, unsolved and ap
parently unsolvable. So deep is tne cloud
that hangs over tne purcnase mat tne
Northern Pacific officials In this city are
not really sure in their own minds that
they have secured an interest In the prop
erty, but they admit that if such a thing
has happened, the waterfront has In all
probability been purchased with a view to
terminal grounds or docks, ine jxonnern
Pacific men do not know much about the
question, but the gossip of Railroad Row,
from whence In time leak most of tne
thlncs doing In railroad circles, is of one
mind and already has the matter settled
to Its satisfaction at least.
In the flrst place. It Is contended that
the Northern Pacific would never spend
$250,000 for something unless it had a very
definite plan In mind, and that seems
probable.
In the second place, it Is called to mlna
that this same company has been hanker
ing for ths same property for some little
time and that at one time the City Coun
cil was all that stopped the purchase.
It is admitted that the company has
purchased the property for terminal
grounds and dockage purposes, but it Is
not admitted just why these terminal and
dockage facilities are wanted just at this
time. But here is where the Row gets In
Its work and tells the secret.
The Northern Pacific cannot get into
Seattle in the way it desires, and it wants
some terminal property where It can pick
up the seagoing end of Its business. Port
land is the natural point for this plan, and
in order to establish a foothold here the
Weldler property has been bought.
Already the grounds and facilities of the
company in this city have begun to be
come crowded, and larger quarters had to
be secured. But It Is not this slight crowd
ing tnat the company had In mind when it
made the purchase. It was the future.
There are several significant things
pointing to the future. One of these Is
the old project, which President Howard
Elliott declared feasible during his recent
visit to Portland that of bridging the
Columbia at Vancouver. The Kalama
ferry is an inconvenient and costly way
of making the crossing and will in time
be abandoned for the bridge. When that
time comes the Northern Pacific will be
gin to be in a position to compete in all
lines -with the O. R. & N.
But this is not the only thing that is
coming to pass, so. the Row says. It is
known that a water grade has been sur
veyed down the north side of the Colum
bia from the Spokane end of the Washing
ton line of the road. This road will come
In time, though It be a longer or a shorter
period. Wlththe bridge at Vancouver
and easy access into Portland from the
Seattle end of the system, the prospects
of the Toad In this territory would be
much brighter, but with a water grade
from Eastern Washington It would re-.
quire all of the Weldler property to han
dle the business that would come into this
station. With a practically straight line
and easy grade from the Spokane district,
with all of its grain and other produce
seeking a seaport terminal, the Northern
Pacific would have the whole Northwest
tributary to Its lines.
It is the bridge at Vancouver, with the
converging lines from the north and the
east to cross it, that has made the rail
road company so anxious to secure the
terminal grounds in Portland, and the
fact of their purchase points to the in
tentions of the company in the future.
The predictions of the Row even go so
far as to point out that it would be ad
vantageous to the company to construct
Its own depot at that place and to move
all of the offices of the company there.
The fact that all railroad men have
common opinion in regard to the plans of
the Northern road, and that all tell the
same story, leads to the belief that there
is a good deal in the rumors and that the
bridge and the North Columbia road proj
ects are not dead issues and abandoned.
but yet retain life and can be resurrected
at the slightest notice when desired. The
Northern Pacific knows the advantages of
the plans rumored, and will complete the
task begun by the survey when In the
estimation of the management the time Is
ripe, and judging from the progress of
the past few years, that time is not far
distant
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Tomorrow Night "A Mexican Ro
mance" at Cordray's Theater.
At Cordray's Theater tomorrow niirhf

Miss uatnnne countiss and Edgar
Baume, supported by the admirable
company that Manager Welch has se
lected, will open the Columbia Theater

comedy by Marguerite Merrlngton. and
was the vehicle in which E. H. Soth-
ern rode so successfully to public favor.
The comedy deals with English mili
tary and society life, and gives the
players lines full of the brightest rep
artee and the keenest satire. Not one
of the amusing situations will be lost
to the audience, as the company is al

skillful direction of William Bernard,
who, by the way, the Portland public

Stock Company and "The Inside Track."
The beautiful and homelike family theater

Saturday matinee every lady In attend

ed by James Keane and his company at
Cordray's. The company is winning gold
en opinions from all sides. In the course
of the play a duel is fought between Fabio
and Guldo, his false friend, which re
sults in the well-deserved death of the
latter. It is a real fight, and is done so
earnestly and -with such realism that the
people forget It Is -only In the play. The
play Is most adequately cast, and no part
out is filled with striking ability. To
morrow (Wednesday) evening will be the
last performance of "Fablo Romanl." "A
Mexican Romance" will be given for the

the other splendid mechanical effects.
The Benns at the Star.

MERGER MAZING PROGRESS.
Consolidation of Street-Car Compa
nies Probably Completed Soon.
From an authoritative source it Is
learned that the meetings of the joint
committee appointed from the stock
holders of the two street-car companies
have been meeting with unexpected
success and it will probably be but a
short time until the new articles of in
corporation are dr?.wn up and ready for
adoption by the stockholders.
An attorney from San Francisco is
now in Portland and is working with
the local legal representatives of the
Portland Railway Company and of the
City Sz Suburban on the articles of
agreement to.be presented to the stock
holders for their approval at the final
meeting. This work Is progressing
favorably and both companies are be
ing satisfied by the plans suggested.
These attorneys will draw up the plan
of the merger, Including the final de
tails, and it Is thought that the work
will be completed In a few days. When
that Is done it will be a matter of but
a short time until the deal is closed
and the new company Is formed.

OLSEN'S PLACE IS SAFE
MUNICIPAL COURT CLERK NOT
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE.
But tho Commission Is Determined
That Clerks in City Treasurer's;
Office Shall Be on List.
Fred Olsen's position as clerk of the
Municipal Court is secure, as far as civil
service examinations are concerned. That
matter was settled yesterday afternoon
by the Civil Service Commission through
the opinion rendered by the City Attorney
for the Executive Board. The City At
torney decided that the clerk of the Mu
nicipal Court does not come .under the
regulations of the civil service proced
ure, hence there Is no need of making
any recommendations as to a successor.
In. the department of the City Treas
ury it was different. The commission did
not ask for an opinion from the City
Attorney, but took the question of clerk
ships upon the basis of the wording of
the charter and decided that the em
ployes under the Treasurer must be upon
the civil service list.
Treasurer Werlein does not think that
his trusted men should be required to
take the examinations to which all other
city employes are subjected, and so stat
ed to the commission in a long communi
cation. Mr. Werlein'3 contention was that
his chief deputy had been selected for his
fitness and implied friendship, that his
honesty could not be questioned and that
there was no occasion to apply the rules
of the charter in such cases.
The members of the Civil Service Com
mission are sticklers for system, and
Treasurer Werlein's communication had
but little effect upon them. The Commis
sioners decided that the Treasurer's de
partment must be under the civil service
rules if the employes are to draw any
pay from the city government.
Every payroll which goes to the Audi
tor for warrants must be checked up by
the secretary of the Civil Service Com
mission before the Auditor Is authorized
to draw a warrant. If one or more of
the names are on the list which do not
appear on the records of the civil serv
ice books, but the 'charter provides for
the payment of the incumbent, the name
will then be checked, but not otherwise.
All members of the Police and Fire
Departments are checked over each
months and the records of the commis
sion are becoming the fountain-head of
information for brokers who cash the
warrants of city employes.
When asked regarding the City Treas
urer's' office, Mayor Williams said: "The
commission decided that the clerks in the
Treasurer's office must be taken from
the civil service list, and that Is. all there
is to it."
