' BUSINESS IS IMPROVING Some Statistics Which Exhibit the Healthy Commercial Conditions Contributing to Portland's Continued Prosperity. For eight months of 1905 the seven banks inoluded In the Portland Clear-ing-IIouso Association have showed an Increase In clearing over the corresponding- eight monthB of last year of $28,689,611.87, or more than 26.6 per cent For the month of August the Increase was $2,186,320.73.

Favorable Business Conditions. Generally favorable business condi tions contribute to the prosperity re flected in the statement of Portland banks, and bankers anticipate that each pucceedlng" month, of the year will add materially to the splendid record of the two-thirds that has elapsed. Un questionably a groat deal of the busi ness increase Is directly atrlbutable to the Exposition, but more, say the bank ers, to the tremendous growth that is being experienced in all branches of mercantile pursuits, manufacturing, and in which the agricultural classes have a large part. Actual cash transactions of the day are represented in the report of trans actions of the clearing-house banks, and therefore it is a correct represent ation of the financial transactions of the Institutions, cleared In gold, with no balances carried forward to swell the volume, which makes the state ment of this city particularly strong in financial circles' where the fact is known.

STew Method Adopted by the County Clerk for Papers. All papers heretofore filed by attor neys -in the office of the Clerk of the State Circuit Court adjoining the court room .of department No. 1, will here after be filed in the main office of the County Clerk. H. C. Smith, the chief deputy clerk in the Circuit Court, will move his desk to the main office. Sev eral clerks will remain upstairs to at tend the courts when they are in ses sion, and to transact routine business in connection with the courts. Recently County 'Clerk J. J. Grelf, of San Fran cisco, visited County Clerk Fields, and in the course of a conversation between them Mr. Grelf remarked that papers -were all filed in one-place in his of fice, and expressed, surprise that Mr. Fields conducted the office so that the papers in suits in the State Cir cuit Court were filed and kept In a separate office from th'o main office. Mr. Fields, after thinking the matter over, ; decided to follow vthe system in yojtu in the Bay City, and have papers of every kind filed in future in the main office. The plan of having separate offices dates baok to the time when the offices of Clerk of the Clr rult Court, Recorder and County Clerk were separate offices under three heads, and before they were consolidated into one. Th new system will be more convenient all around. Heney and Burns bubpenaed. Francis J. Heney. United States Dis trict Attorney, and W. J.

RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED City Employes Who Hypothecate Their Salaries Are Liable Under Provisions to Be Dismissed From Their' Positions. After a preamble setting forth the al leged pernicious practice among many city employes of hypothecating tholr monthly salary warrants to local money brokers, and calling attention to the so called dangers lurking therein, the ex ecutive board unanimou?ly adopted the following resolution at a special meeting of the body yesterdny afternoon: Resolve, On the greund of protection of the public perric or the Cltr of Portland and not the private Interest and welfare of the city's employe, that from and after the first day of October. 1005. aad IncladttiRr the September payroll! of the City of Portland, all salary warraata shall be innied nly In the name of aad payable to the order of the employe performing service for the city, and shall be delivered only t such employe or some -member of hU family or bottehM. In no case shall any warrant for tho salary of aa eJty official or employe liaed or delivered to any broker or other person . except as above specified. Htvotved. That the assignment or pledrfng of salary to be earned by any employe of the City of Portland shall, ea and after siW date, constitute sufficient groonds for the alrchJLryre from the pubHc service of ffaofc employe; and the habitual or frequent dis counting or hypothecation of salary warrant by aay employ of the city to or with known Voa agents or brokers, than likewise con stitute grounds for the discharge of ch em ploye. News of the adoption of the forogolng resolution spread rapidly among employes of the municipality around the City Hall, and there seemed to be a unanimity of feeling among them that the body had exceeded Its authority by the passage of any such measure. Bids for the improvement of East Twen tieth street, from the north line of East Stark to the south line of Sandy Road, which have been held up for some time, were Anally awarded a follows, the City Auditor being Instructed also to notify the City Engineer that the contracts had been let, in order that construction work on the proposed Improvement might pro coed without delay: Bechlll Brothers', blocks and 6, for J3MI-S7 and Joplin & Meoks the balance for fJS7L46, or a total of $16.23. A resolution was also adopted request ing Auditor Devlin to prepare a roster of aM the city employes for use of mem bers of the Executive Board.

In the course of proceedings at the special meeting of the liquor license committee of the City Council yester day afternoon, a communication was read from Chief Grltzmacher. notifying the committee of the conviction recent ly ot Thomas McGlinn and C B. John son, proprietors of the Tuxedo saloon, besides calling attention to a long list of alleged misconduct in connection with keeping open after 1 o'clock, and maintaining a disorderly house gen erally. Ater quite an argument on the prop osition, the proprietors of the place were cited to appear before the com mittee next Tuesday afternoon and show cause why their license should not be revoked. This is in keeping with a rule adopted by the committee recently to the effect that the licenses of all saloon-keepers thereafter con victed of any offense by the Municipal Court would become subject to revo cation. The committee felt disposed not to take snap Judgment upon them, how ever, and decided to give thorn a chance to explain matetrs, as it was hinted that they were being persecuted by the police, and under the circum stances it would be no more thau right to accord them a hearing. Some doubt was expressed by mem bersof the committee as to whether or not the Tuxedo proprietors would pay any heed to the summons to appear be fore the license committee, but C. B. Johnson, one of tho partners In the place, stated last night that they would certainly be on hand. Would Improve Lane Street. L..O. Cottel and D. C.

The waitress is known to Miss Covey by the name of Fanny only. She applied for a position at tbe restaurant, and was Riven work. Three-quarters of an hour after being engaged she left the place hurriedly and returned with Detective Kaj. who passed through tho establish ment and up the stairs without consult ing the proprietors. Miss Covey says that a few minutes later Kay came down the stairs and demanded $10, which he said bad been stolen from Fanny.

Detective Kay departed, saying that he would re turn in half an hour, and If the money had not been returned that he would ar rest the two. On his return. Miss Covey says, Kay abused her and demanded to know why the money had not been turned over. "You pay that J10 now or go to Jail," Kay is said to have remarked.
