The improvement of Williams avenue draes alonjr, but the foreman of -the work says that it may be completed by the first of the month. It Is evident that it will not be completed by that date nor perhaps" a month later. The cause of the delay -was the deliberation with which the street-car company took hold of Its portion, at first refusing to Improve at all. However, It I should be an enduring pavement. Bitu llthic .material is being used. The double tracks are being relald with neavy. Krooved steel rails with Belgian blocks I between. Work Is now progressing on the second track, and the avenue is filled with ! material between McMIllen and Morris j streets. This pavement will make "Will lams avenue a popular thoroughfare.

In the room of the girl was found some railroad and steamboat fold ers, and some scraps of paper, showing where they had figured on expenses of the trip. Mr. and Mrs.1 Monroe now state they are willing to give their blessing to the youngsters, if they are married. Sells Property. Councilman J. H. Shields, of St. Johns, has Just sold his property in that place to C. F. Hayes, of Hlllsboro, the consideration being 58000.

Powell, an Episcopal mln lster of Portland, has written the follow ing expressing his views on "Ben Hur": I was present at the "Ben Hur' matinee at the ilarquam Grand Saturday afternoon and I feel constrained to express my high ap preciation of the healthy, helpful and uu- lifting tone of the play, full, as It Is, of .In tensely oramauc pictures. The radiant star and the adoration of the ilagl In the opening scene fixes tho status of the play which flnVis natural and fitting culmination In the heal ing of the lepers by him who wag the prom ised Meuslab of Israel. Between theVii scenes the play moves along the more fa miliar plane of human life, filled, as all life Is, with Joy and sorrow, hope and fear, vic tory and defeat. As one whose work He much amid the wards of a large hospital, I found myself seeking to adjust the rela tions between the gay scenes of the sunlit grove of Daphne with its mirth and throngs of girls moving through the mazes of the willowy dance and the deep tragedy -of the galley and the vale of Hlnnom. Religion and amusement! The two things are here- together on this God's earth of ours and we have not yet found the formula that unites them. The pessimistic point Of view, despite the support it receives from the miserable misuse of amusements, does not satisfy ua, evidently Is not reasonable. The mediaeval church with all Its faults under stood this side of human nature better. In Its miracle plays, out of which, let us re member, the modern theater arose, wan con tained the hint of a truth which, the Puritan could not see. It was the truth that laugh ter lies at the Inmost heart of things. Says an acute thinker; "The more a man is capa ble of entire seriousness the more heartily can "he laugh." The cburch cannot Ignore or taboo amuse ments, for its own teaching, properly Inter preted, shows them to enter deeply Into the divine scheme of life. On the other hand. It must never forget that the prime function of religion Is to supply -the inner reconcilia tion without which there Is no true amuse ment sosslble. For ages, with more or less success, the church has been teaching men to pray; she now realizes that she must also teach them to play. Did the stage give us more plays of the elevated character of "Ben Hur," whether secular or religious, and It Is difficult to draw a dividing line between these. It would be the coadjutor rather than the foe of re iicHnn t ootiid wish then, both for their pleasure and lor their .edification, that the .. . r -Tl.n Tlur" muld be realty bii - - - witnessed by a large majority of our people s. PROMINENT WOMAX SUCCUJIBS TO HEART DISEASE. Daughter or the Iiatc Henry AVcln hard Passes Away After Ten Days' Illness. Mrs. Louise WTagner. wife of Henry Wagner, and, daughter of the late Henry Wclnhard, died last evening at S:35 o'clock at the family residence. Death was brought on by heart disease, after a se vere illness of ten days. The news of her death will come as a shock to her many friends, as it was not generally known she was seriously 111. While a'suffcrer for years from heart ail ments, it was not until last week that the trouble took a serious turn, confining her to her bed. During the past three or four days some improvement was noted in her condition, and on Sunday event ing the chances for her recovery seemed quite favorable. Monday night, however, a turn for the worse appeared, and the end came. In the presence of the sorrow stricken family. She was attended to the last moment by her husband and young son, Henry, ber mother, Mrs. Wclnhard, and' by her sister and brothor-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wesslnger. Mrs. Wagner was a native of Portland. She was born here November 4, 1S72. and remained constantly In the city, with the exception of a honeymoon trip to Cali fornia on the occasion of her marriage to Mr. Wagner 12 years ago. She re ceived her education m the Portland pub lie schools. Her death wlll bring sorrow to a wide circle of friends. She survived her father one year, one month and five days. Arrangements for the funeral will bo announced later. It will probably occur on Thursday. GREAT CONCERT COMPANY So Says the Toronto Mall and Em pire of Emma Eamcs' Company. "Mme. Eamcs. herself a delight, is sur rounded by an excellent company. Mr. Gogorza, the baritone, was an especial surprise. He is an artist of rare accom plishments, with a large, warm voice and a delightful -utterance. His vivacity and grace were not more delightful than the masters' with which he handled the rare vocal numbers. Hollman Is a 'cellist of exceptionally broad tone, and won appro bation. Amherst Webber proved a fine accompanist." This splendid company of artists will be heard here for the first time at the Marquam on Monday, October 30, under the direction of Lois Steers and Wynn Co man. and the sale of seats opens Friday morning.

P. Corcoran. U. S. A., veterinarian in charge of all the public animals of the Department of California, at the Imperial Hotel, last night. "For more than 30 years I have had experience with horses In the Army, and I am a strong advocate of the "Western animal. "The horses from the East are docile, and some think they are the only ones. "Western horses have better lungs, better muscles, better bones, and. in fact, they are better than the Eastern animal In nearly every respect- Wrhen In active service the Western borses know how to provide for themselves, and will grow fat while the Eastern horses will get thin. I have seen this demonstrated several times when the two horses were being ridden across the plains. "Another thing I would like to say ia that I think the Americans arc the best marksmen In the world. The coast-defense men can handle those big 12-Inch guns at the Presidio as. easily as you or I could shoot a rifle. There are many of the soldiers who could hit a battleship nine miles out at sea every time. I have seen those marksmen smash a 20-foot tar get nine miles out at sea with one of those big cannon time and time again." E. OLMSTED, Assistant Forester of the United States Forestry Service. is a guest at the Hotel Portland, having just finished a three-weeks' Inspection of the northern division of the Cascade Re serve. Tho object of his trip Is to report upon the advisability of selling small or Jarge amounts of tlmbor In this region. "My Inspection is in accord with the general policy of the Forestry Service to sell all mature timber from the forestry reserves whenever the conditions are right," said Mr. Olmsted, at the Hotel Portland lost night. "In this connection, the effect of lumbering upon the future stand, the effect of the forost cover on stream flow and the condition of the mar kets have to be considered. In a word, timber will be sold whenever market con ditions are good, when the cuttings can be made In such a way a good future stand is assured, and when the removal of the timber will not seriously affect the steady flow of streams. "I have not yet completed my report on this "matter, nor have I made any decision as to the advisability of sale in this par ticular region. The west slope of he Cascade Reserve contains a vast amount -of valuable -timber, which will soon be come accessible, and In certain districts stands of flr. hemlock, cedar, white pine and larch may bo , considered accessible at tho prosont time." N' OW that the Lewis and Clark Expo sition is over, the hotel clerks of Portland are beginning to take their va cations, having had a hard Summer of it. Allan Wright, chief clerk of the Hotel Portland, Is, taking rest on a farm near Hood River." and Nathaniel Clarke, also of the Hotel Portland, will take his vacation a little later. He will visit the Eastern States. J. J. Reed; of the Per kins Hotel, Is making a tour of British Columbia, and his place Is being filled by G. II. Kcoene. J. H. OWEN, a Government contrac- schools than any other man In the United States, Is a guest at the Oregon Hotel. Mr. Kecne has been In this line of busi ness for about 17 years, and has been awarded the contract for the Improve ments of the Chemawa Indian School, where four new buildings will be erected. at an expenditure of approximately $25. 000. Mr. Owen said yesterday that ho would begin work on the erection of the buildings some time this weok. as he has practically completed all the plans for the same. "Tho Indians make good workmen, and many of the larger and stronger of the pupils at the -Chemawa School will bo employed In the construction work," said Mr. Owen, at the Oregon Hotel, yester day afternoon. "Lately the Government has been letting contracts for a good many day schools on the reservations. There has always been a difference of opinion among the authorities on Indian affairs as -to whether the day schools or the boarding schools are the most bene ficial -to the Indian. 'From my own observations, and I have been around the Indians considera ble. I am Inclined to believe that tho boarding schools are the best. I think the pupils are more easily controlled In the boarding schools, as they are there all the time, and the attendance is more regular than at the day schools. At the dhy schools the Indian boys and girls stay at nome with their parents. If they have any, whore they talk their native lan guage and forget some of the things that are taught them In 4he day schools. In the boarding schools they speak the Eng lish language almost exclusively. Of course, I have never made a deep study of tnis phase of the work, and there are many who have different views on tho matter." never been beaten by a woman In a shotgun shooting tournament, and otic of tho best wing shots In the United States, is a guest at the Imperial Hotel. It does not take much exertion on her part to break 25 bluerocks straight, and she holds a record of breaking 146 out of 1&0 clay pigeons. Mrs. Bennett has com peted with the very best shots In the world, and there are but few men who have the distinction of having ever de feated her. Mrs. Bennett takes great delight In live bird shooting, being particularly fond of duck-hunting. So proficient is she with a shotgun, it is said, that It Is almost im possible for a bunch of fast-flying teal to pass her without leaving behind two or three birds as a tribute to her skill, and the way she can "fold" up the mal lards and canvasbacks is enough to All all sportsmen with envy. Mrs. Bennett will be In Portland only a few days, and some of the local sportsmen are endeavor ing to arrange a duck-hunt for her. When she first started to hunt, the men would feel greatly humiliated to be beaten by hor. but now they look upon it as a mat ter of fact. Mrs. Bennett is a woman of culture and refinement, but when In the flold thinks skirts are cumbersome and in. the way. and consequently wears a pair of corduroy trousers, high boots and a shooting jacket- Her home is in Den ver. "Oh, I see nothing wonderful In my be ing able to snoot, and I guess it comes to me Instinctively." said Mrs. Bennett, at the Imperial Hotel, yesterday. "My husband used to be a great hunter, and I took such an Interest In his excursions that he gave me an opportunity to handle a shotgun. One day when he returned from a hunt he let me shoot his gun, and threw tin cans In the air for targets. They were easy for me to hit, and the next thing I knew I had a gun. and was going hunting myself. I am not fond of live pigeon-shooting at the trap, however. as it seems cruel to kill such dear little creatures." Government Will Pay for Appeal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.

MEMBER OF WATER BOARD Dr. Joscphl's Presentation or the As pects of the Recent Controversy. PORTLAND, Oct. 24. (To the EdItor.-An ancient writer ha a&ld "The truth may be ecllpied but never extinguished." In the Oresoalan's comments on the action of the water board in the matter of water pipe con tractcf the truth has been much eclipsed and unjust deductions drawn from distorted facts. I aa permission to state the simple facts as to the matters Involved. In order that the shadow may remove from the face of truth. First. An to bids having been invited for both steel riveted and cast iron pipe. The board decided to get for the city the best pipe to be obtained for the money It would have at disposal for this object. Bids were invited for both kinds -because It was not otherwise possible "to determine what the beet prices for the respective kinds would be. The contention that the board knew, when It Invited bids for steel riveted pipe, that It would not adopt that pipe is false and puerile. The board did not know which kind of pipe It would adopt until after full discussion and consideration of the matter In the light of this city's experience and that of other places and the opinions of able engineers. The spe clflcatlenti for both kinds of pipe were pre pared by the engineer of the water board with a view only to procuring the very best material In either case. Clauses Nos. 24. 25 and 26. referred to by the Interested bidders and your paper as unnecessary, were and are Judged to add materially to the quality of the Job, when completed. It is but fair to con cede that the water board shall be the Judze of what should be required for good work manship, rather than the dealers who wish to sell to the city what would prove to be an article of workmanship Inferior to the stand ard desired to serve the best Interests of the people who are to pay the bill. Second. As to selection of cast Iron olpe Instead of steel riveted. In arriving at a conclusion In the selection of pipe, the board had in view only the best Interests of the city. Its members were guided by the opin ions of the best engineers whose authority was cited to them on both sides of the con troversy. For myself, I waa guided largely by the technical opinion of our own engi neer (who, being entirely unprejudiced and disinterested, as I am well ralfeaed, la a cri tic whoso, opinion la worth Infinitely more than that of parties contending for establishment of their own claims) but by no meant! wholly so. It Is a mistake, as has been raid, that the board members had no Ideas of their own about this. On the contrary, the experience ef our own city. In the comparison of steel with cast Iron wai la favor of the latter, not withstanding the fact, cited by the Oregon Ian. that cast Iron pipes have burst and done dam age in the city before this. Thee were ac cidents to which all pipe lines are subject and occurred exceptionally in Individual pipe lengths subjected to special Influences. Our experience with steel riveted and cast Iron pipe on the Section line road from Remrvolr No. 2. Mt. Tabor to East 12th frtreet, where tbey parallel each other, has been decidedly In favor of the cast Iron pipe. The Oregonlan contends that our experience with steel pipe' In the main conduit from Bull Hun to the Mt. Tabor Reservoir, proves the equality. If not th, superiority of that class of pipe, com pared with cast Iron. It forgets that the conduit has been down and in use not yet eleven years (too short a time for compari son with Its older rival), that It has not bees reinjected to electrolysis and that It Is not tapped or disturbed as wolild be a supply pipe. Tho pipe required for the East Side high service will be subjected largely to electrolysis, will have to be tapped at fre quent Intervals and often disturbed. The ele ment of carrying capacity was also consid ered. Our engineer placed the difference at least 10 per cent lower for steel riveted, while ; other engineers assert that the difference is very much greater. In favor of cast iron. The statement by your paper that the Standard Oil Co. uses steel rlvtted pipe exclusively has Uut little bearing on the case, as thcee pipes carry oil, not water, hence are free from the ' corroding Influence of the latter; tr may also be free from electrolytic Influeneea. After , full mnttdmnlan tne- board felt and reels i that It ought not to racnd the city's money for a claw of pipe that Is yet In the expert- mental stage unless compelled te do so by ioc ivhiii.h. ye. i lerence in cow oeing tao.itti, ii was that the city could be supplied with cast Iron, the preferable pipe, even at that much greater cost. As to the difference In cost, at 5 per cent j compound interest, renewing the steel pipe J every 20 years, you are mistaken. It should state every 25 years. But will oteel rlvlted j last 23 years? Who knows? Nobody. The agents say It will and much longer, but one of them was asked by the Mayor If he would . guarantee It. he replied that he would not as no pipes of any kind were guaranteed. If it Is such a sure thing, an the agent asserts, that steel riveted will last even 25 years" why not back up their faith In such experimental material by a guarantee? Third. As to award of contract to Oregon Iron & Steel Co. The board having decided not to use steel riveted pipe, the question became narrowed down to a decision between the Martin Pipe Co. and the Oregon Iron & Steel Co.. the bids of other makem being higher than either ef the above named. The Martin Co. did not bid on specials and made some changes from specifications In the shape of the pipe joints; these departures might have been pa&wd over, however, had It not been for a positive csatemrnt that the pipe must be finally accepted at Birmingham, Ala., though the freight would be paid by the Mar- , tin Co. to Portland. This provision at once raised the question of risk In transporting It. which would be fastened upon the City of Portland unless the railroad companies would assume It. I am reliably Informed that ra cial rates are made from the point of hl raent In Alabama. In consideration of the . railroad being held free from damage to the freight in transit and while It mtzht be an j open question as to whether, under such a i contract, the railroad would be free from harm, nevertheless It would mean lltlratlvn iu c&irfucc lur wr in; IV MfnUlMC puvu v risk. After adding cost of specials, the" dif ference between bids of the Martin. Pipe Co. and Oresoa Iron & Steel Co. was SlliO, an amount Inadequate to the assumption of he additional risks. Tiuirlli Xm In nmrrf nf mnlnrl in frt. son Iron &-Stcl Co.. while Mr. V. M. Ladd ' was a member of the water board. "Vhwi the contract was awarded the members of the ! water board had good reason to believe that Mr. Ladd had a right to be a member and ' yet be Interested In a bidding company.

Fourth and Washington SH La dd's Incumbency under him and contractu, under similar circumstances, had been award ed with the approval of Judge Williams. Prior to the award of contract on Oct. 16. Major Lane had consulted an eminent attorney of this city on the subject and stated that he had been assured Mr. Lodd had a rlcht to membership on the board. After the award had been announced Mayor Lane consulted another attorney who gave It aa his opinion that Mr. Ladd could not be a member of and Interested In a company contracting with the city. Upon being Informed of this the board met at the Mayor's call, reconsidered Its ac tion, rejected all bids and ordered re-adver-tlsement for cast Iron pipe. Inasmuch aa Mr. Ladd took no part whatever In the delibera tions or action of the board, the board con sidered It was acting properly, under the cir cumstances. Your Impression that pipe made for the city by the Oregon Iron & Steel'Co.. is not properly inspected la erroneous. Last April a contract for cast iron pipe was let to the Oregon Iron & Steel Co.. It being the lowest bidder. For this pipe and special castings the water board has had Mr. Henry Waller, who was sent out by R. W. Hunt &.
