The beautiful enameled sSjrns -which have been erected at tho Intersections of streets bearing the Tiamae of the different streots In Jetters so plain that hp who runs or even Is -whirled by on an electric car may read them, have proved a great convenience to both citizens and strangers where they have been rightly placed. Unfortunately a mis take has been made by placing on Hast Thirty-ninth frtroet, signs bearing the name of "Prettyman Avenue." There is a Prettyman avenuo about a mile cast of East Thirly-nlnth street, outside of the city limits, and the mistake has caused much confusion, especially to passengers on the ML Tabor car-line who desire to get off at East Thirty-ninth street and are misled by the wrong elgn at that In tersectton. Justjwho is responsible for the crrar is not known and he will be fortu nate if the residents on East Thirty-ninth street never find out, for they are very much put out about tho matter. The resi dents on Prottyman avenue have not yet been hoard from, but they doubtless hope that when proper signs are placed on East Thirty-ninth street the signs taken dowx there will be placed on their avenue and if so they will have no cause to complain, but quite the reverse. Chris O. Brown Returks. Portland's JUalto wore a glad smile yesterday, for t Chris O. Brown, manager of the Star vaudeville theater, came homo from his trip to the East, via San Francisco, where he booked new attractions which will be Been at the Star and Arcade Theaters in this city and Mr. Conn's Astoria house In tho near future. "I have secured several of the biggest acts ever seen in the "West," Mr. Brown. "Among them are Okabe'fi Royal Japanese troupe of seven acrobats, the Ashton acrobatic trio, Sheik Hadjt's troupe of nine Arabs, the five Mexican marimbo players, Hugh Mac- Cormack, the Australian ventriloquist, and others." Said Judge "Was Unfair. Alleging that Judge Hogue had expressed a prejudice in the case of a Mongolian who was ar rested recently for smoking opium, C. F. Lord, an attorney, walked out of Police Court yesterday morning when the case of his client was called for hearing, thus forfeiting $20 ball. There 'was rather a heated exchange of words when the at torney told Judge Hogue he believed him prejudiced. The court denied the charge. but expressed a perfect willingness to have the case heard by another magis trate, whereupon Attorney Lord remarked It would be a farce otherwise and left the room. His client did not appear for trial. Connected "Willamette and Columbia Boulevards. G. "W. Simmons. Road Su porvlsor at SL Johns, has extended the lllamette boulevard through St Johns to the North Side, leaving about a mile yet to make connection with Columbia boule vard. It is expected that the two boule vards will be connected next year .'which will provide one of the longest and finest driveways out of Portland.
