Repairs to Municipal Court Are
Not Satisfactory.
JODGE CAMERON'S WORDS
City's Offenders Come Before tlie
Bar jot Justice and Punlsliincnt
Is Meted Out -According
to Their Deserts.
V,
Alterations and repairs to tho Mu
nicipal Courtroom, -which have been
under -way for several weeks and which
are still far from complete, are said to
be disappointing to the officials there.
Complaint Is beard that the material
and workmanship is very inferior, and
It is not Improbable that Judge Came
ron -will protest before the bill of $658
Is paid by the city to Contractor W. A.
Gwinn. .
"I may bave something to say about
this later." said Judge Cameron yes
terday morning, when pressed for an
Interview on the subject "The work
manship and material used Is a little
disappointing, but we shall wait and
see what is done later."
"I have heard no complaint what
ever," eaid Thomas G. Greene, chairman
of the police committee of the Execu
tive Board. "On the contrary, all that
has been said to me about the repairs
and alterations was in praise for the
manner in which It had been done, and
I do not see why the officials should be
disappointed. The work Is being done
according to the wishes of the Judge."
The Executive Board, on September
22, accepted the recommendation of the
police committee for the bid of W. A.
Gwinn, at the contract price of $658.
There is said to have been a contract
In existence, but if there was, it could
nnt found anvwhere In the office of
City Auditor Devlin yesterday.
Mystery surrounds the matter in such'
a manner that it seems impossible to
ascertain just what Contractor Gwinn
Is supposed to do in altering and re
pairing the courtroom, but to date, a
new door has been cut, the walls and
ceiling kalsomined, some paper strips
pasted around for borders, a counter ;
put in Clerk Hennessey's office, a new
wooden affair set up for the court to ;
look over, some small pieces of carpet j
laid in portions of the floor and a small
attic cut in a passageway leading to j
the women's ward. i
No new furniture is Included In the
contract, according to Chairman
Greene. Without this, It is said, tne
room will ressemble a new patch on an
old garment. There Is no dispute among
the court officials and those who fre
quent the room, as to whether or not
the contract price Is too small.
"Butting in" is what got Peter Cook
Into trouble Sunday night. He could not
resist the temptation to question and
cross-question a -band of Socialists, who
were holding a meeting on Fourth, near
Alder street. He wanted to know this
and that about their doctrine, and in
sisted that they explain it all to him.
Cook was drunk, too. He got so trou
blesome and demonstrative that a patrol
man was called, who "pinched" him.
"It's the first time In my residence of
SO years In Portland that ever an officer
laid hold of me," said Cook, explaining
to Judge Cameron. "He says I was
drunk, but I am just as drunk now as I
was then."
"I believe you." replied Judge Cameron.
"You are drunk, right now. You've never
been here before, though, and I will give
you a show. Your fine is 52. Go and sin
no more."
Cook went.
Those who wish to make remarks of a
"fresh" nature should know to whom they
are speaking. That it Is dangerous and
most inconvenient to do otherwise, Js the
testimony of Jack O'Neill. He cast some
gratuitous and uncalled-for reflections
upon a young woman who was walking
with a man of small stature along a
public street, Sunday evening. The little
man proved to be "Mike" Llllls. desk
sergeant at police headquarters for the
day patrol. He arrested O'Neill, think
ing he was drunk.
When O'Neill came before Judge Cam
eron yesterday morning, he had hardly
any excuse to offer, but claimed that Hi
lls and his companion made some remarks
about his hair. He said he had a habit
of removing his hat, and that Lillls said
something about the style In which his
hair was combeck
Judge Cameron said there was nothing
to prove the charge of drunkenness, and
lot O'Neill go. O'Neill is a cook at the
Hotel Portland, residing at 523 Market
street.
So many hobos and vagrants of all
classes are flocking to the city at this
time that the jail is filled with them.
All of them who are brought before Judge
Cameron are ordered out of the city, un
Insc it Is clearlv shown that thev are
guilty of a misdemeanor 'of a serious na
ture, or a crime. If all oi them were
given sentences, it would be necessary to
build another jail In which to house
them.

DEMAND AGTIVE ON SIXTH
BUILDING AT CORNER OF OAK
SELLS FOR $00,000.
Identity of Purchaser Is Not Made
Public Numerous Sales Have
Qccurred In Locality.
The building occupied by the Omnibus,
Baggage & Transfer Company, at the
northwest corner of Sixth and Oak
streets, and the lot on which it stands,
was sold yesterday through the agency
of David Stearns for 590.000, to a pur
chaser whose name is withhld. It Is a
three-story brick structure, with 50 feet
frontage on Sixth street and 100 feet on
Oak, built last year.
A six months' lease is held upon tho
property by the present occupants, which
will prevent any changes being made
during that time. What will be done
after that period Is not known, but It
seems probable that a larger building
will ultimately be erected on this. corner.
Perhaps the new -owner will add one or
two stories to the structure, which is
substantially constructed.
The fact that this building Is directly
across the street from the corner where
the Well-Fargo Express Company's sky
scraper is to go up increases its value.
Demand for property In this vicinity has
been very active or late. The property
at the southeast corner of Sixth and Oak
was sold recently, and many other build
ings In the same section have changed
hands, while offers on several others have
been refused.
Incorporations.
Incorporation articles of the Straits
Steamship Company were filed in the
County Clerk's office yesterday by R,
Lea Barnes, W. A. Holt, J. D. Leonard,
P. H. J. Bronson and Ira Bronson; cap

TO GOOD IF PUBLIC
(Continued From I$e 1.)
facturing eectlons or the city for park, pur
poses la unwarranted.
I am unable to even approximately estimate
the value of this property, but certainly It
jvould bring a price sufficient to complete the
purchase of the Exposition site, and to pay
for the installation of one of the finest parks
In the country. There would be a sufficient
surplus after the purchase of the ground to
establish In the Forestry building a
museum worthy the state, and a lasting monu
ment to the Exposition, and to pay for a
good zoo. provide a children's play-ground,
provide public tennis courts, build a splendid
band-eland, and to put Guild's Lake Into a
healthy condition for the aquatic amusement
of the people. And then there would be a
sufficient sum left to put all other city parks
In excellent condition.
What greater boon could occur to our peo
ple than the establishment of a really up-to-date
park on comparatively level ground?
Golden Gate Park In San Francisco Is one of
the greatest advertisement the city has. It is
known In every corner of the globe. Why
should not a similar park be made to serve
a similar advertisement for our city?
City Park la truly beautiful, but It is
difficult of access and all "up hill and down
dale," making It somewhat undesirable as a
popular resort.
Of courae the terms of the donation of the
chain of parks referred to may control their
disposition in such manner a to render the
-plan I bave suggested Ineffective.
S. B. VINCENT.
For Annual Fair.
(To the Editor) The thought of retaining
.several features of the Lewta and Clark
Fair, on Its present site, to form the nucleus
for an Inter-Paclflc-Coast States Annual
Memorial Fair, has no doubt flitted through
the minds of many Oregon! an j.
Such a fair could remain open during the
spring and summer months, and at a charge
of 25 cents admission fee. would certainly
pay more than current expenses. The whole
state would be Interested in It. for whole
buildings or parts of them could be allotted
to the eeveral counties In this state. Wash
ington and California would no doubt be glad
to participate In cuch a fair, which would be
something novel in annual fairs, and other
states would be eager to retain space In the
buildings now on the grounds or erect build
ings of their own.
The Government Building might be retained
for exhibit belonging to this city. The
Auditorium, the band stand and certain fea
ture of the Trail might also be retained.
In fact It would not only be profitable but
It would be the grandest standing advertise
ment for this wonderful country. Every
patriotic Oregonlan who loves his glorious
state should be willing to do something to
wards forwarding the Inter-Paclac-Coaet
States Annual Memorial Exposition, for It
will do more to settle up and make known
the great resources of Oregon and the Paclflc
coast than any other advertising scheme that
could be devised. There can be no doubt of
Its success. E. D TONGH.
Need Accessible Park.
To the Editor: Should the stockholders
be trilling to surrender the surplus, the
writer's Judgment would be In favor of the
memorial of our Exposition taking the form of
a park as compared to a building for the
Oregon Historical Society, notwithstanding
the latter Is a very worthy object for such
runas. The appealing reasons are:
First The valuable archives and relies of
this society, of which the writer has been an
Interested member for many years, are now
housed In a. fireproof and handsome structure,
the City Hall, and probably before many years
a building -will be erected for their accommo
dation, perhaps combined with the museum so
successiuuy inaugurated and constantly sum.

gestlon that as much Of the site be ntirrha
as is cealrable for a Lewis and Clark Expo
sition Memorial Park, to embrace all the land
now parxea ana extending over to the is!
and; that the boundaries of the vanlshlnr er

ouuinea so tnat succeeding generations may
readily trace them, and that the centers of
tne tracts now adorned by these buildings be
marked by small facsimiles In bronze, by
which the architectural features may forever
be preserved. As the Washington. California,
and New Tork buildings contributed
ly to the beautiful ensemble, they might also
tnus assist to give mighty Portland of the
luture a realizing sense of the masterly en

trend of the public mind:

To the Editor. The St. Louis Public
Museum is today one of the grandest mu
seums In the world. It is supported by the
city and. the state. It Is one of the grand
est of educational4 Institutes In Missouri and
attracts thousands of visitors to the City of
St. Louis. Certainly the citizens of the City
of Portland and Mate of Oregon are con
ceded to be more enterprising than the peo
ple of the East, and I have every confidence
In their establishing a grand and beautiful

The Laxative op
Known Quaut
There are two classes of remedies: those of known qual
ity and which are permanently beneficial In effect, acting
.gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist
ance ; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasantsyrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actusl experience
thatit is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that
it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really
represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
There are two classes of purchasers : those who are informed
to the quality of what they buy and the reasons forthe excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer
imitations of the
Genuine Syrup of Figs
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order
to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects,
one has only to notef when purchasing, the full name of
the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the

A HILL TALE
A Blunt Old Colorado Miner on Postam.
A clergyman may be eloquent, may use
the choicest language, dressing his earn
est desire to help his fellowman In the
most elevated, chaste and beautiful lan
guage, and yet not touch the hearts of
his hearers. Another man. having little
education and no grace of speech whatso
ever, may tell his message In the com
mon, everyday vernacular he Is used to,
and the simple faith that glows within
him carries quick conviction with It. Such
a man writes from the towering peaks of
Colorado, preaching of Postum:
"I had drank coffee all my life until
It about killed me. when I concluded to
try Postum, and In a short time I got
relief from the terrible misery I suffered
from coffee.
"When I drank coffee I bloated up so
that I could not breathe at times: mi
nerves were so shaky that I could not
hold myself still.
"But thanks to Postum I am all well
now and can say that I hope to remain
"I was very much disgusted with it the
first time I tried It. but had It made
stronger and boiled longer till it tasted
as good, as good conee.
'n nmnunt of rhetorical frill and lit
entry polish could add to the convincing
power ot tne uiu miner a testimony.
