The Pacific Bridge Company Is preparing to start on Us contract to fill up the slough on Grand avenue, between East Stark and East Oak streets. A plledriver is at work putting in a .foundation, so that the dumpcars can be operated with safety and shifted from one side of the street to the other. When the work of filling starts, which will be in a short time, the cars for MontavIIla and Bast Ankeny will run over the Burnslde bridge. These cars started over that route yesterday, while the plledriver was in operation. It will take about CO days to complete the fill. While this Is being done all teaming traf fic is confined to the narrow roadway o Vnlon avenue, with a probability that It may have to be closed unless the surface be repaired. Must Levt Tax. The St. Johns Council must levy its tax for the coming year be fore January 1, and it will perhaps be done at the next regular meeting. City Attorney Greene called the attention of the Council to the levy Monday evening, but no action was taken, as "the Coun cllmen want time to think the matter over and talk with the "people. The char ter limits the levy to 10 mills, which, on the taxable -alue as fixed by the County Assessor, 51,250,000, would yield about $12. G00. but there Is opposition to 10 mills, and it will not likely be above 15 mills and may be 5 mills. About $3000 in war rants are now out, and the city has obli gated itself to pay $3500 for the Oihouse tract. FuxEitAt, op a Pioneer, and Veteran The funeral of Milton W.

A swarm of Ropubllean poHtSctans was in Portland yesterday talking about can didate? for the several state offices, for which elections arc to be held next' June, most of the visitors having come hither to attend the funeral of Senator Mitchell. The brethren were eager to know what candidates for the next Senatorial ejec tion were to appear in Multnomah, for It was the general opinion that . the rest of the state would concede the Senator ship to this count'. They were surprised that Portland had not trotted out more candidates than the three or four that haw been boomed, such as Jonathan Bourne. L. R. AVobster, T. B. Wilcox and Dr. Andrew C. Smith, the only avowed candidate of whom in Mr. Bourne. Visitors Report Candidates. From up their way the visitors could report better progress.

These four offices are the most lucrative in the state government, the fattest be ing tHat of State Treasurer, whtcn will yield more to Its next Incumbent than It has done to the present holder, because the salary has been raised by the Legis lature, Ychlle the emoluments from Inter est on state funds have not been turned into the state treasury.

C, Hawley. of Salem, will take the place of Moores as a third man In the con test Mddcd perplexities for the brethren. Two Marion County Men. The presence of two Marion County men in the tight would seem to divide the vote of that county and therefore to be helpful to Huston, tho candidate of Washington County, but this is denied by many persons, who insisted that Haw ley would receive votes in Marion and ' elsewhere that otherwise would "be oast ! for Huston, because of their being op- posod to Tooze.

He Visits In fluential Men. Blind, old and in feeble health. George Houghton, father of Charles Houghton. rHas "Chick! Houghton, now sorting a five years' sentence in the Oregon State Ponltontlary on a charge of highway rob bery, is circulating a petition among the influential men of the city for the pardon of his son. The petition will be rant to Governor Chamberlain in a few days for his approval or disapproval. The father of the convicted son is being taken about the city by two of his friends, one lead ing the old man by each arm. Mr. Hough ton, who at onte time was an extensive prorcrty-owncr in tho city, has. now lost practically everything1 he owned. Mort gages wore placed on his buildings and lots to raise money for the defense of "Chick" when the young man was being tried In the Circuit and State Supreme Courts. Mrs. Houghton, who. with her husband, lives at 515 Twentieth street. Is aging rapidly because of her grief, and Is now afflicted with rheumatism so badly that she is unable to leave her home. "Chick" Houghton, who was reared in Portland, has an unenviable reputation In police circles. Before conviction on the charge of highway robbery he was ar rested on numerous occasions for petty .crimes. His last arrest was on October 3. 1302, when he was captured by Detective Joe Day and ex-Detective Dan Wdner and placed in Jail on a "highway robbery cbargu He was cntcnced in the Circuit Court to eight years In the penitentiary, but was placed In the County Jail pending a rehearing'. He was resentenced on an appeal bond and the case was carried to the State 9-jpremo Court. The Supreme Court sustained the decision of the Cir cuit Court, and on March 21. 1KH. he was sent to the Penitentiary. During the long fight to beat the case against his son in the courts George Houghton lost all his property. "We would like so much to have our son with us again." said Mrs. Houghton last night. ;Ve get a letter from him every Wednes day, and he always speaks of doing bet ter. He says they treat him nicely up there, but he docs want to get out so badly. My husband and I have 37 names on the petition now. and Joe Day signed It yesterday. He arrested Charles, you know, and It was kind of him to sign the petition, wastn't It? We went to see the Governor the other day to see what he thought about It. but he was not In. so we shall call some other day. "You know father Is blind. He has been that way for IS years. I havcthe rheum atism so badly that I can hardly get around the house, and our son would b4 such a comfort to us now. Well, good-by." STARTS PIKE UNDER HALL. Skaters at Rink Panlc-Strlckcn by Work of Drunken Man. . Panic-stricken skaters at Merrill's Hall. Seventh and Oak streets, tumbled over each other In a rush to the cloakroom last night to get their wraps before es caping from the building at a cry of fire. To warm himself John Adolfson. while Intoxicated, started a fire In the alley way under the skating rink. Adblfson was arrested by a special policeman and a charge of attempted arson was placed against him at police headquarters. Adolfson. while In a state of intoxica tion wandered under the building with a pile of newspapers and kindling wocd and started a Arc to warm himself. The odor of smoke ascended to the skating rink. Frequenters of the placo thinking the building: was on fire made a wild scram ble for the cloakroom to get their wraps. There were almost 3.0 persona at the rink when the panic started. When discovered by a self-appointed committee, which had started out to learn the cause of the burning odor. Anderson was sitting on a bench In a narrow pas sage between the hall and another build ing warming himself beside a large fire. The woodwork of the building in which the skaters were on the floor above was scorched and would have begun to burn in a short time. Adolfon made no resistance when ar rested and seemed not to. know the na ture of his offense. "I Just warm myself a little." he said when confronted by Captain Moore. He was placed In a cell and will be given a hearing in the Mu nicipal 'Court this morning. " OBJECT TO DOG IN JAIL. Captain Moore Has n Strufrgle to Itcniove Canine. "Confound that dog. he'll got fleas all over those fellows in Jail If he is not taken out of here. I guess I'll tell the Chief about him." Captain Moore, of the first night relief, at police headquarters, went to the head of the department In regard to a bull pup that has been locked up In the City Jail for two nights. Cap tain Moore was not sure who owned the dog. The pup. however, is known to be long to John Price, coachman to criminals who ride in the patrol wagon after mid night. "No. I don't want that dog In jail." continued the captain. "You see. my dog lies around the house near the stove all day. But that's all right. I don't mind it. But some of these fellows when they get out will go around and say that they had to sleep In Jail with a dog all nlghL It will give the Jail a bad reputation. Guess I'll put the dog out In the barn." Captain Moore went Inside the Jail and mado two -or three ineffectual dives after the pup. who thought Moore was playing hide and seek with him. Finally corner ing the canine, he snapped a pair of hand cuffs around his neck "and led him out to keep the horses company. "Say. I'll bet that dog belongs to John Price," sakl the captain, coming In again. "lie is always bringing In some stray dog or cat. The next thing he will be wanting to give his horses music lessons."

Malarkey represents thei City Attorney In the proceedings, while Thomas G. Greene and C. A. Cogswell appear for the Mayor and Captain Bruin. It Is one of the contentions of the Civil Service Commission that no appeal can be taken from Its markings unless It can be shown that there has been criminality. It also holds that the markings of pa pers are a matter of Judgment, and that no two. persons can be governed by the same characteristics In establishing the rating of an applicant. 3LIhvanlde Country Clab.
