The Barber Asphalt Paving Company has started on the improvement of Hawthorne avenue for which It has the contract be tween. East Third and East Forty-first streets. Grading- has been commenced on the south side of the avenue east from Grand avenue. The Portland Railway, 1,1k lit & Power Company has replaced its double tracks as far as East Tenth street and the south side track has been relaid to East Thirty-fifth. It has a large force at work completing the north track. The company has its work far enough ahead ot the street contract that It will not de lay the improvement. Property-owners are wondering what has become of the movement for a 12-inch water main to he laid on Hawthorne avenue, between Fast Twelfth and East Third street, be fore the hard-surface pavement la put down. There Is no water main on Haw thorne avenue exoept small pipes between these two points and. It Is considered necessary that the big main be put down at once and not after the pavement has been completed. There are also many lots along Grand avenue to East Forty-flrst street, the end of the present improve ment, for which no provisions have been made for -water and other utilities, and it Is desired that all these connections should be made at once before the hard eurface pavement Is laid. J. 8. Foss, a property -owner, said yesterday that every owner on the street whether he has a house or not should at once see to It that all these connections are made. Mokb East Side Buildings. The con tract for the erection of the three-story brick building for Cooke & Co., on the southeast corner of East Stark street and Grand avenue ha been let to W. I Morgan for J3S.OO0.

PRESIDENT BAKER IS HOST Simon Speaks for Progressive but Xot Kxtravagant Administration and Is Promised Hearty Sup port by City Fathers. Harmony between public officials, economy in the administration of the city's affairs and the best governed mu nicipality on the Pacific Coast was pledged last night by Mayor Simon and members of the Council, who were enter tained at dinner in the Com mAwlal Plus by George L. Baker, recently 1.i president of the Council. The Mayor, In answer to an urgent request by Toast master Annand, spoke briefly, outlining mo poncy or tnis regime, as one of pains taking Care for th wslfura nr 1 who, he declared, are "groaning under the burdens of taxation and must be re lieved." He was heartily cheered, and the members of the Council assured him ot txill and undivided support. "I do not mean when I say that this administration la t loot -., omV that we are to be non-progressive," -"'" "'"'w oimon. "i mean Just the contrary.

Councilman Rushlight, who was a candidate for Mayor In the primaries and who has been a leader In the mi nority during the Lane administration, pledged Mayor Simon his hearty sup port, as did also Councilman Concan non, the sole surviving Democrat in the Council. Tvlln Talks of Future. Councilman Devlin, -who as City Au- tne city many years, de clared that the city Is entering upon a new era in its prosperity, and said he believed Portland will be the first city on the Coast to have 1,000,000 popula tion. The City Council, said he, has Its part to perform in making a city beau tiful and in giving "the best adminis tration ever had here," and it was his wish that each member of the Council should so conduct himself that no sus picion shall fall upon the legislative body during the term of office, and that the community shall not regard the Council as "a bunch of grafters." Other members of the Council spoke likewise, harmony being the watch word. Each one present assured Mayor Simon of hearty support, and he thanked them, saying his only ambi tion as head of the city government is to give the people an efficient and economical administration. Mayor Simon and the Councilmen discussed various civic affairs, and for one thing decided to attend the A-Y-P Exposition In a body on Portland day July 20. Calvin Hellig was present and when called upon to speak said that he had Just completed a canvass of the city and promised the people one of the best theaters in the country. Ed Heillg also connected with the theatrical busi ness, deoMned to speak at length, but Jokingly invited the Mayor and others present to attend the opening per formance of the new theater "at their own expense." Calvin Heilig went one better, extending an invitation at the expense of the house. Those present were: Mayor Simon. Calvin and Ed Hellig, Councilmen An nand, Baker, Beldtng, Concannon, Dev lin. Dunning. Ellis, Kubll, Menefee, Lombard. Rushlight, and members of the daily press assigned to the City riail detail. Mother Hasn't Spoke to Father Since" Mr. Brown's Faculty for Evsstoa Gets Him Into Trouble With Wife and Woman Acquaintance. MR. BROWN has a heap of troubles. His name is not really Brown, but that Is near enough to answer. The trouble with Mr. Brown is that neither his wife nor a lady friend. Miss A., will believe him, and thereby hangs a story. Mr. Brown has a room at a leading Portland club. On a recent evening, wish ing not to be disturbed, he left word-with the telephone boy that if a lady called she was to be told he was out. The lady called up later. A new boy answered the phone. "What is Brown's room number?" he asked. Another boy answered: "Brown said if a lady called, say he is out." The boy obligingly told the lady, but unfortu nately he had left the listening key open on the telephone, and the lady heard. The next day the lady called Brown to account- "Oh, you are really making a mistake," said the ready perjurer. "As a matter of fact I was out, and the boy must have confused me with some one elee." Miss A. accepted the apology. Brown went home and told his wife of the in cident. She laughed over it, and when a lady friend visited her next day, she thought the story too good to keep. She Miss A, as it happened, was the vis itor. "Why, it was I who called him up." said the lady. "Impossible," said Mrs. Brown. "Mr. Brown told me it was a man." Now Mrs. Brown and Miss A. don't speak when they pass by; Brown stays more and more at his room at the club, and a little bird says that some one may Kayser's Silk Gloves Special 50c. 85c and 11.25.

Out of each nickel -which, the Portland Railway Company collected In 108. searlr 1 qvnta "srent tor labor; more than .14 of a cent was required for power, A of a oont took care of repairs and renewals, rolling- stock and other equlpmaats interest on bonds took up 1.16 cents: rentals and purchase of real estate, etc. .15 of a cent; damages and legal expenses .16 of a cen taxes to otty and state .1 of a centj .66 of a cent remained for erxtraortUnarr- ranewals. depreciation and dividends. Flva years affo thera remained 1.23 oenta for this purpose, and it looks as If it Is quite tlma for the stockholder to bestir Mmolf to se at least whether any thing is necessary to protect his Interest. AMds from the re am la r charges agatnst each nlohel mentioned abova. there was expended in 10B $90,500 for street improvements, as an indirect tax upon the earaica, from wbtoo, no additional revenue was derived. The average fare per paasenger has dropped from 8.RI cents tn io. to 8.TT cents in 1906. due to the increased nse of the transfer prrvltesre. The upshot of any serious discussion of the crisis in street railway operation would be likely to be to the ef f eot that it devolves very larwely upon the pnbllo, including, of course, the large olass of stockholders, to determine what they wish to have happen. Present tendencies are clearly beyond engineering and financing skill to alter, without the co-operation of the consumer. Transportation is a commodity which has beoome one of the neoeasttles of life in urban communities. The everyday man who uses the oars Is more vitally affeoted than anybody else In the satisfactory settlement of street railway problems. The capitalist who has his money invested In urban transportation properties is not obliged to keep his money there. There are numerous other op portunities for Investment. The operating officials have less to lose, since the competent expert is always reasonably certain of a Job either in the same business or in some allied business. The people who suffer most severely from interruption or impairment of the streetcar service are those who have no financial Interest in the securities of the oom pany, but who are vitally concerned in getting to and from their work expeditiously, comfortably and inexpensively. The futility of imposing anything that approaches inordinate taxa tion upon the street railway company should be imparted to the public. In the interest of preserving a proper type of relationship between the community and the public service corporation. It is remarkable how few citizens of average intelligence and ability appreciate that in levy ing taxes upon a transportation company they are simply appelating the corporation to serve as tax collector; the money thus collected oomes from the publio and returns to the public treasury. The same loose thinking which makes many people conceive of the state as an entity separate from the individuals composing it, leads them to think of the corporation as a creature perhaps as an octopus which can in some way be injured or punished by being compelled to pay fines and special taxes; but in all such oases the traveling publio indirectly pays the bill.
