Portland's water front is to be one Ions, continuous dream in white frorri Jeffer- son street to the Albino, ferry, so say the officials of the Portland Chamber of Commerce Civic Improvement Board. It has boen vears since some of the rvharves have received the toning effects of a coat of paint or whitewash, and, as a result, the reach of the river front is one of variegated hue, shading from a deep and slimy green along the piling to a weatherbeaten gray at the top. The Board of Civic Improvement did not like the looks of the 16ng row of wharves, and George C. Flanders was ap pointed by President "Wheelwright to make a canvass of the property-owners along th6 water front, and see what could be done. Mr. Flanders took a couple of days from his Bast Side business, and interviewed all of the men owning pr&p orty along the river. As a result, prac tically all have agreed to whitewash and paint their buildings at as early a date as Is possible. It is probable that the "work upon the upper parts of the build ings will begin ax once, though the lowor painting or whitewashing will be delayed until the Mgh water &as come and sub sided In order that a-more thorough job may be done. i wo or taree of the wharf owners have not agreed to clean their property, but It la thought that -when the "buildings on either aide have been renovated the un paintcd ones will look so shabby that the tardy owners will fall into line. Th$ Civic Improvement Board has won its fight against the illuminated sign by the passage of an ordinance at the last session of the Council, requiring that all illuminated signs constructed in the fu ture shall be so built that they can be hauled back against the walls of the building when not in use. This ordinance will not affect those signs now in use. but the street committee of tho Council, it is understood, is preparing an ordinance taxing all signs protruding over the streets at such a high figure, that it will servo as a practical order of abolition. WAS BUILT TO BE SHOT AT', Hugo Floating Target Launched by Navy at Brooklyn. NEW YORK. April 21. A floating tar get, the first t)f its kind, was launched today at thev Brooklyn Navy Yard, it is designed for use not only in testing the accuracy of tho gunners of the forts along the lower bay, but in determining the probable deficiency of the heavy ordnance of the land batteries against battleships. The target is In the shape of a box 32 feet long and. 12 feet on each side. It will be ballasted so as to stand upright in the water, leaving exposed 12 feet of its length, the freeboard of an ordinary, battleship. The draft of the .target, 20 feet. .is about that of a battleship, so it can be towed to any point where such a vessel might go. Steel plates an inch thick are the material of the target's construc tion. There are water tight compart ments, so the effect of perforation by shot and, shell below the water line may be noted. "With its ballast the target weighs 100 tons. Naval constructors and ordnance ex perts have calculated the power of resist ance of the target above and below the water to shots striking it, and expect val uable deductions can be made as a result of . its use. For the testing of guns a target of different material will be' super posed on the floating steel hulk. Shoplifters Made a- Fortune. NEW YORK. April 21. Three members of a gang of shoplifters which came nere two months ago from Chicago were sen tenced today to 11 months' imprlsonmeat and a fine of $500 each, which, if not paid, will entail a further term in the prison of one day for each dollar. The prisoners were Isaac Abramovich, Suppe Steinberg and Dora Qlenor. The last named Is known as "Queen Rachael." Bank books showing deposits of $30,000 were found on the prisoners when they were arrested. The police also found among other things at that time thousands of dollars' worth of the finest silks and velvets and most delicate laces in their flat on the East Side. . . ..

Outlook- Tor Trade on the Pacific Coast- NEW YORK, April 21. Bradstreefs ' to morrow will say: Trade reports are Irregular- In. character, distribution of seasonable goods at retail be ing retarded by cpol or rainy 'weather at the West. Northwest and South, where truck. fruit .products and young cotton are reported. damaged by frosts. Industries, however, are active. Jobbing trade at some centers Is still good and retail business toward the latter fend of the week became more animated. Building Is brisk, money Is firmer bank clear ings having increased heavily. Prices in gen eral display a downward tendency, weakness in grain and securities being especial fea tures. Railway earnings are still on the up grade and the Western wheat crop Is favorable. Timely rains have fallen, though cold weather has delayed the progress o some extent. Iron and steel continue buoyant. The de mand for pig and other iron is, however, rather less pronounced, inquiries for foreign billets are numerous, their scarcity here be ing the immediate feature In the market. American houses are eald to be figuring on the construction of Jron and steel works in Japan and China. . It is usually quiet for Jobbers. ' though paints, oils. lumber and building materials are active, while agricultural implements are in good Request. Here and there industrial disturbances have cropped up, but so far-the situation in this respect is very satisfactory. Coke prices have softened considerably dur ing the week. Anthracite coal Is active, but the soft coal situation Is rather unsatisfactory, recent concessions In the t Eastern districts having placed those sections at a disad vantage as compared with Western regions. The wool market is quiet but firm as rrgards the old eupply of wool. Foreign grades, how ever, are In good demand. On the Pacific Coast, the outlook itm.i without a flaw. A very heavy export trade with Asia is looked for on the coast this year.
