Service There .will be no material change for the pres I ent In the delivery of mall In Central . IfcJaBt Portland. The complaints submitted to Postmaster Youne that- business men on Grand avenue were getting their first morning mall two hours later than for- merly has been partially corrected. W. r. Halvor. superintendent of the Blast Portland mail station, says that there will be some complaint no matter what the adjustment, as the carriers must start at some point and work along a regular route to the end. Those on the last part of the routes get their mall later than those who happen to be on the first part of the route. The carrier who delivers In Central Bast Portland e tarts In the wholesale district and works around to Grand avenue for the reason that the wholesale firms use the, mails more than the retailers. However, It has been arranged that the Grand-avenue 'Arms which need earlier delivery are now Setting It. Perhpas later In ther year the 'effort to secure four daily mall deliveries will be obtained for Central Hast Port land, an improvement that Postmaster Young favors, and something that the (East Side eBusiness Men's Club Is working (or.

After exhaustive discussion Wednesday night, at the meeting of the Sellwood Commercial Club at the Sellwood Bank, the question of location for the clubhouse was left unsettled.

SNAKE IS A RUBBER BOA Strange Reptile With Stinger In Its Tall, Is Classified. F. A. Stuhr, of the Portland Blra Company, last night telephoned The Oregonlan that in his opinion the snake found on Gregory Heights Wednesday by E. England, is a rubber boa and be longs to the boa constrictor family. Mr. Stuhr says he has made an exten sive study of reptiles and believes him self qualified reliably to classify all species of the snake family. "While I have not seen the snake captured by Mr. England," said Mr. Stuhr last night. "I am convinced from the published description that it must be a rubber boa, related to the boa constrictor family. It is not a rare snake. Many of them are to be found In Oregon and Washington. They are very sluggish reptiles, but are ' not poisonous, being at all times perfectly harmless. It was only two years ago I captured two of these same snakes, which I sent to Washington that they might be classified. In addition to furnishing me with the true names of the reptiles, the experts sent descrip tive circulars of all species of the snake family." WHEREJTO DINE.
