Ual! regarding the rebuilding of the ele vated roadway on Grand avenue. He says: "I do not see any justice In re quiring a small district to rebuild this elevated roadway between East Pine and Stark streets, for the benefit of the Ladd estate and some others who got the abut ting property for a mere song, while the remainder of us paid high prices for solid ground. I signed the remonstrance against the small district assessment as proposed, and would do so again. If the district had been made large enough I might havo favored the rebuilding of the roadway, but too small a territory was taken in and the burden fell on too few people. Let the burden be widely dis tributed. Councilman Sharkey got $S00 to fix up East Morrison roadway where tho blocks are held at $30,000. "We on East Burnside street received no assist ance from the city when he Improved the etreet from Grand avenue to the Burn side bridge, although that street Is -used by the whole public and the country as far back as the Columbia Slough and the Sandy River. If a man owns a hole In the ground and has1 plenty of money, the city favors him and improves his streets for him." Question' of Merger Considered. Since tho Portland Chamber of Commerce has moved into its new headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce building and Is fast becoming settled, the question as to whether or not the Portland Board of Trade and tho Manufacturers Association Khali be joined with tho larger organiza tion is receiving much attention. It seems to be a settled fact that the Board of Trade will not consent to make any terms with the Chamber of Commerce. With the Manufacturers Association It Is a little different, it is said. It is a known fact that C. H. Mclsaac, the secretary of the association, is very much opposed to any amalgamation, but on the other hand It Is told that there are many of the members who would consent to merge the association with the chamber provided the work and the purpose of the smaller organization would not be lost and ab sorbed by the larger. Ddop ut Tonight. Eaton & Griffin an nounce the formal opening tonight of their beautiful cafe at 125 Sixth street, between "Washington and Alder streets. A -splendid lunch will bo served to all vis itors, and nothing will be omitted by the popular proprietors to make tho evening a most enjoyable one. The interior deco rations and furniture are rich and show excellent tase In fact, it is not straining the truth to state that it is the most at tractive resort for gentlemen in Portland. The wines, liquors and cigars dispensed over the bar will be in keeping with tho surroundings, the best that money can buy. The proprietors, H. It. Eaton and Henry D. Griffin, arc too well known In this community to need any introduction through the columns of this paper. Social Convention. The social conven tion by the Federation Board of the wom en's clubs of Portland will be held this afternoon at 2:20, in the Selling-Hirsch building. A programme of music and addresses has been prepared. Henry E. Dosch, of the Lewis and Clark Fair, will deliver an address on "Modern Exposi tions."

New Peninsula. Road. Road Supervis or D. V. Hart is opening up a county road 0 feet wide and half a mile long through the Mock tract, along the St. Johns elec tric railway. Fences are being set back so as to correspond with Pippin and Daw son streets, which the new road will con nect. The supervisor hopes to get an ap propriation from the county large enough to remove the stumps from the new road, and later grade and gravel it. This will make a continuous road from Peninsular Station to McKenna avenue. TJHK Sxjjgs in Meters. Lodging-house landlords are complaining that those who rent furnished apartments swindle the gas meters by using slugs instead of quarter-dollars. There havo been many com plaints registered with the gas company and the police recently. Mrs. W. H. Rad cllff, of SOOUs South Fourth street, reported yesterday that -when her gas meter was examined she discovered that a recent tenant tad been using slugs instead of coins, and as a result the landlady was out about 55.

The home department had charge of the programme at yesterday's meeting" of the Woman's Club, which was attended by many members. Dr. Mac H. Card well gave a talk on the garbage question and tho present crematory system of the city. The plant now in use is 16 years old and needs replacing or thorough repair ing. As the city has been growing so rapidly the facilities for disposing of gar bage are Inadequate, and the Health Board Is considering the advisability of Installing a new plant, which may soon be an absolute necessity. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway suggested that if all housekeepers would burn kitchen refuse before it had -accumulated in large quantities there would be no need for a city crematory, and as Mayor Wil liams said recently, ashes might be used to good advantage where fills are being made in gulches and other places. Mrs. Chapman objected to the kitchen garbage crematory on the ground that It was detrimental to the stove, and to the nostrils of the neighbors. Assistant Health Officer William Beu telspacner related some of his own experi ences in the work of city sanitation and said that ha hoped to effect a reform in the matter of burning debrjs in the streets, as persons may now, by obtain ing a permit from the Fire Department, burn any quantity of rubbish in front of their premises. A pleasant feature of the afternoon -was Miss Lytle's singing. After the pro gramme had been tendered, tea and fruit salad were served by tho department members. AMATEURS PLAY FOE, CHAEITY Entertainment Is Given at Parson's Hall for Trinity Organ Fund. A thoroughly enjoyable entertainment was given last night by the ladies of Trinity Church at Parsons' Hall, the pro ceeds of which will go Into a fund for the new organ for the church. The pro gramme consisted of solos by Mrs. Rose mary Glosz Whitney and Dr. William M. Campbell, the ancient but always funny farce, "Box and Cox," and ton dances. Tho hall was filled to overflowing with Portland's smart set, 0oth young and old, and after the solos and the farce the floor was cleared and the-danclng was en Joyed for the rest of the evening. Mrs. Whitney and Dr. Campbell re ceived a genuine ovation, and were com pelled to respond to several encores. Mrs. Whitney, who has recently joined Port land's colony of singers, was enthusiastic ally received. Miss Louise Meslck was the accompanist. "Box and Cox" was presented by Robert G. McCraken, George A. Eastman and Louis P. Bruce. Mrs. Bruce, as Mrs. Bouncer, played the part of the landlady who was "doubling" In her roomers. "Bob" McCraken was the lean, hungry printer, and George Eastman played the hatter. Cox. They were as funny as the once-famous "Cherry Sis ters," and won many laughs out of the young folks, who were, no doubt, longing for the strains of the two-step. Those who gave tho entertainment realized a nice fund for the organ. Steamers Should Lower Funnels. PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 24. (To tho Editor.) It seems to me that much of tho trouble per taining to the draw bridges could be obviated If the small boats had hinges to their smoke stacks, so they could bo lowered when they wanted to go through and also by removing or hinging their flag staffs. On the River Thames In 'London, where there is more traffic in half an hour than there is in Portland In a month, the small steamers are all fitted In this way. "With the exception of the Tower Bridge, below London Bridge, there are no draws over the River Thamea. F. J. PARKER. CARD OF THANKS. Mr?.

AT THE THEATERS "The Mommy .and the Hamming Bird." Lord Lusnlcy Paul Gllmore Elgnor D'Orellll Theodore Terry Com. Lord Ronalds, R. N..Edw. Clayton Giuseppe 1 John Mtrtln Judson .'Herbert Jones Markham Lawrence Pollock Thomas George McCJeljan Walter Harry Collins Lady Lumley Agnea WUUami Zin. Ruth Thornton Betsle Howard Cumralnga , Louise Wilson It was very clearly demonstrated last night that Paul Gllmore is considerable of a Portland favorite. His reappear ance here called out an audience which filled the Marquam. It was a fashion able and appreciative audience, and the speech-call which followed the third act was spontaneous and sincere. As a speechmaker Mr. Gllmore is several laps behind Burke Cockran or Beveridge, but barring the fact that he was scared to death, he managed to acquit himself tol erably. The play was seen here last season and its story Is familiar to most theatergoers. The Incident is of the "Mummy," who is a fool husband to a fool wife; the "Hura-mlng-Bird," who Is a knave lover, and the Italian organ-grinder, who has a good excuse. These four are really necessary and the divers and 6undry others who appear do little more than fill In the per spective. Mr. Gllmore Is an excellent actor, one of the best of the younger stars. He has splendid reserve, grace, good looks and reads his lines beautifully. His concep tion of just what the "Mummy" should be seems eminently correct, and he sidesteps the temptation to overact most commend ably. There is a crying need just now of a first-rate romantic actor. Gilmore has done some of his best work In swash buckling roles, and while he has youth on his side, I should llko to see him re turn to the "D'Artagnan" sort of thing. This is not said In disparagement of him in the dress-suit drama. He's versatile enough to be good in both, but I think he wields a rapier best. His support this year Is good in spots, and just ordinary In others. John Martin Is as good a re vengeful organ-grinder as one could wish to see, and he seized upon his great op portunity In the first act with the avidity of genius. The "Humming-Bird" of Theo dore Terry Is an honest effort to play up to the part, or down, as you like it, and in the main he succeeds quite well enough. Agne3 Williams Is satisfactory In .most of the situations and becomes praise worthy at rare moments. yThe gowns of the ladles arc fine enough to make local modistes sit up and take notice, while the scenery Is sufficient. The "Mummy and the Humming-Bird" Is well worth going to see. Matinee today and final performance tonight. A. A. G. BRIBEBY CHAEGE MAY BE PILED District Attorney Investigates Al leged Payment Made. If the evidence discloses that Robert Wakefield and J. B. Bridges, the con tractors wrho built the Portland dry dock, have been guilty of paying G. B. Thomas, a member of the Port of Port land Commission bribe of 3500, Dis trict Attorney Manning says Bridges and Wakefield are equally guilty with Thomas and he will prosecute all three of them. "If this is a case of accepting a bribo against Thomas, there i.s equally one of bribery against BrIJgcs,and Y,rake field," declared District Attorney Man ning. "Under the law one Is guilty of accepting the bribe, and the other of giving It." Bridges says he objected to Thomas receiving any money from the firm and declined personally to let him have money, and endeavored to make- him pay It .back again. Bridges asserts that his partner, Wakefield, gave Thomas the $500 In installments of $250 through their bookkeeper Mr. Berry. Bridges says he protested all along against It, and Wakefield responded that claims for extras had to be passed upon, and they required the friendship of Thomas. The punishment provided by statute for giving or accepting a bribe in such a case is imprisonment In the peniten tiary not less than two nor more than ten years. SMOKING TAR IS THE CAUSE District Engineer Hoiden Has Col lision on Madison Bridge. Fire broke out yesterday "evening at tho tar tank of the Marine Iron Works, on East First and East Taylor streets, in the rear of the J. M. Arthur building, causing a dense smoke, but doing small damage. The tanks stand alongside the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and are used for dipping pipe. In some way there was a leak in the tank, and this caused the fire. Alarm was turned in from box 267 and the de partment responded quickly, and In a short time extinguished the fire. Tho smoke rolling upward Indicated that a bad blaze had started, and the fire boat steamed out ready for service, but was not needed, as a double line of hose was all that was required. District Engineer Hoiden ran Into a wagon while he was crossing the Madison bridge from the West Side, and was thrown out. Without stopping to ascer-. tain damages he jumped into his buggy and drove on. He received some pretty severe bruises, but he paid no attention to them until tho fire was extinguished. His buggy was damaged slightly in the collision. 3H&S. ETTA M1SAAC IS DEAD Former Resident of Portland PasSes Away In Spokane. Mrs. Etta Mclsaac, wife of J. Malcolm Mclsaac, died Sunday evening in Spo kane, after an illness of three months. The funeral took place Monday morning from .the Church of St. Joseph. The place of interment was Falrmount cemetery. Mrs. Mclsaac was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. McGrath, 528 Ivy street, Portland, Or. She was 24 years of age and was born in Portland, where she grew up to womanhood. She leaves a husband and three small 'children in Spokane. The Immediate family In Portland con sists of the parents, three brothers and a sister. Mrs. Mclsaac had many friends In Spokane, and the church was filled on occasion 6T the funeral services. The In terior was appropriately decorated. Floral offerings by lodges to which Mr. Mclsaao belongs and also from friends were nu merous. To Prevent Lamp Explosions. PORTLAND, Or., Pen. SL To tho Editor.) So many lamp explosions have occurred of late, and with such uniformly fatal result, that ome effort should certainly be made to find out the cause. One. correspondent sug gests that blowing a lamp otu without turning it down may bo one of the causes, but this cannot be, for It is the common practice with nearly everybody using a coal oil lamp. It Is more probable that & defective burner causes the trouble. Many perrons do not know that on the ordinary coal oil lamp there Is a vent extending from, the bottom of the burner to the ery small opening must be kept clear of. dirt RUBBER BELTING, PACKING and HOSE Our Brands Art the Best.

M. H. TOWER. TRAINED WORKERS NECESSARY President of Nurses' Association De fends City Board of Charities. PORTLAND. Or.. Peb. 22. (To the Editor.) Referring to the article In this morning's Ore gonlan. in which the City Board of Charities is criticized for not attending to. a case of destitution reported at 12S North Elercmh street, we teel that the true state of attaint should be placed before the public This fam ily was reported to the Visiting Nurse- Asso ciation by the Women's Union, "was visited by a nurse, who found a child ill with symptoms of ecarlet fever or mearJcs. As the rules of the association forbid attendance on contagious cases, ahe reported the situation to the presi dent, who In turn notified the oftlco oC Cly Phyalclan Zan, receiving the assurance from that office that the matter would receive the proper attention, and. If It were not a con tagious case, that the nurse would be noti fied. The nurse further reported that the "Women's Union, through illaa Russell, had taken or wr.t groceries to the family. She mentioned this fact to Mrs. "Wilson at the City Board of Charities. That remark of the nurse was tho only notice that tho board had ever received that thcro was such a family In the city, and in no way do we feci. Judging from our knowledge of the case, can that organ ization be charged with neglect. In our work In the Vis-Itlnc Nurse Asso ciation wo hae found the advice and experi ence of the City Board of Charities Invaluable, and we have learned that until our patients, ask directly for aid. we are In no way au thorized to assume that they wi?h material relief. We learned this through uncomfortable experience. Finding that the families were in need of wood, provisions or clothing, and In our zeal forgetting that we were dealing with human people, with human right?, re ported their necessities to the City Board ot Charlties and we were met at our next visit with stvere condemnation that we dared as sume for an Instant that, because they were poor, "charity" was needed. So that, as in the case at 128 North Eleventh etreet, the Vis iting Nurse Association,' as well as the City Board of Charities, has learned that poor peo ple have rights which the public cannot Ignore that until the needy ones make known their necessities, organizations, as well as Individ uals, must respect their right to manage their own affairs, and cannot force any service, even of helpfulness, upon them. The vrrlter wishes to express her regret that there has been so much misunderstanding of the purpose. of the organization under criti cism. It is evident that the condemnation ex pressed in the articles la due to a miscon ception of the methods of associated charity work, as It Is a repetition of the experience of every organization which attempts to sys tematize the great work of giving and helping. In the old days, when every man knew his neighbor. Investigation was unnecessary. But In these days of hurry and worry, It Is neces sary to have system, organization, and to have ai its head a man with brains, with Judgment, who serves as a connecting link, as It were, between the recipient and the giver, doing for Ue public that work which It Is too busy to do for Itself, and, on the other hand, doing and planning for the weaker one In such a way that he Is permanently helped, Instead of being further pauperized. Many instances could bo recorded, would spaco permit. In the s&ort life of the Visiting Nurse Association, which show the absolute necessity of such an organization as the City Board of Charities. One will suffice. A case of consumption was reported, was visited rjy the nurse, reported as needy, and our friendly lsltor "Investigated'' (If a better word can be suggested we would be glad to use It). Through tho City B.oard of Charities records, we found that th family received such aid as was necessary. "We also found that the church societies were helping, each fondly clinging to the idea that "It was helping & poor family." Had there been the co-operation which should exist between all the charity workers In the city, the church societies would have gone to the records of the City Board of Charitle. and. Instead of four sources being drained of sup plies, there would have been the proper kind of "relief given. In desperation, the husband finally appealed to ono ot the visitors to ''pleaso quit bringing' clothes; we have & whole room full now." This Is only one of many cases, and only serves to emphasize the fact that the day of the Indiscriminate giving of charity Is passed. Volunteer work In the field, of charity Is too apt to be spasmodic, and be comes weary -Just at the time when "stand ing by" Is most needed, and here Is where the paid worker proves himself tho best friend of the needy, and he is worthy of his hire. "While -we cannot do without the sympathy and enthusiasm of tho volunteer worker, we must have the trained worker, to protect both tho needy and the generous public first, from the Impositions of the chronic "taker," and from the tendency of the charitably Inclined, to further weaken the already weakened mem ber of society, by relieving . him of all his burdens and leaving him none of the respon sibilities. With Mr. Strong, the writer feels that this discussion Is bound to result In bene fit to the community. Out of It wo hope to see a closer co-operation among the charity workers In our city, a better understanding of the associated charities idea, all of which will tend towards & greater degree of help fulness for our poor, as well as' a saving of money for those who give.
