MACMANUS TOJPEAK AGAIN
Lecture Next Friday Will Aid Hi
bernian Convention Fund.
That shanochy of shanochys, Seumas
MacManus, teller of Irish tales has been
Induced to stay In Portland a few days
by members of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and he will give a lecture
at the Masonic Temple Friday night.
A shanochy is iwhat the Celtterms one
born with the gift of story-telling. It
was as they gathered round the little
echoolhouse Are at Glencoagh, County
Donegal, that young "Shamus," as his
name should be pronounced, first acquired
the art of narration. Running around
from cabin to cabin, he learned of the
weirds and bogies that were supposed to
inhabit the hogs; he picked up funny
tales of the grandeur and doings of the
Princes and Kings of Ireland, when Ire
land was composed of numerous prin
cipalities, each warring against another.
His life's ambition was to be school
master. When that was attained he
found he had a new ambition to see
his name in print. And although his first
series of stories was paid for with the
munificent sum of J2.50 for the series, it
waa not many years before he was un
able to supply the demand. Now he is
one of the highest paid authors of short
stories living. Every month, delightfully
illustrated, his tales appear in the lead
ing publications.
All money that is charged by the lec
turer will be used to defray the expenses
of the 'National Hibernian convention that
is to be held in Portland..

BITULITHIG IS LOWER
MAYOR COMPELS REDCCTIOX
OF 15 CENTS A YARD.
Saving Will Apply to Several Hun
dred Thousand Yards Other
Materials Will Come Down.
Mayor Simon has secured a reduction
of 15 cents a square yard on bitulithic
pavement. Representatives of the War
ren Construction Company held a con
ference with him yesterday in his office
at the City Hall. For this class of work
the lowest rate yet quoted was $2 a yard.
The new price will be $1.85.
Bitulithic has ranged in price from' S2
to 12.50 a yard for the past few years.
It is laid in Portland by the Warren
Construction Company and the Pacific
Bridge Company. A great amount has
been ordered. Jt is considered an ex
cellent material, and Mayor Simon's rea
son for demanding a reduction was that
he believed the companies had been
charging too much.
Bids aggregating hundreds of thou
sands of dollars for bitulithic pavements
throughout the city are now being ad
vertised for by direction of the executive
board. When the new rates are'quoted
In the proposals, as announced yesterday,
the board will award contracts to the two
companies handling this kind of material.
Recently, because of the former price
being asked, the board rejected the bids
for a large amount of paving.
Rates on all kinds of paving have now
been greatly reduced since Mayor Simon
entered office. Competition that was
threatened by Eastern bidders on asphalt
paving helped to put down the price on
this material, so that it is now being laid
as low as $1.44 a yard. It has ranged as
high as. $2.40 in the past few years.
Hassam pavement is facing competi
tion also and a reduction would not be
surprising. Concrete specifications have
been ordered by the Council on certain
streets, which indicates that an effort is
being made in the Council to force this
brand of paving to lower prices.
BULL RUN BOND IS GIVEN

Sureties for $1,259,782. .

W. J. Lyons, of W. J. Clemens & Co..
and Charles Hughes,, representing Hart
man & Thompson. It is one of the largest

PASTOR WILL COME NORTH
Rev. VV. B. Ifinson to Accept , Either
Portland; or Vancouver Call.
With the explanation that he would
accept either the call to the White
Temple of this city or a call made to
him from Vancouver, B. C, the Rev.
W. B. Hinson has resigned his position
as pastor of the First Baptist Church
of San Diego.
Mr. Hinson has announced that he
will come to Portland in time to All
the pulpit at the White Temple, be-gining-
April 24, and remain there until
the matter of his acceptance has finally
been determined. Members of the con
gregation of the White Temple have
expressed their confidence that Mr. Hin
son will finally consent to become their
pastor.
Mr. Kineon is considered one of the
best pulpit orators of the country, and
during the two weeks recently spent
by him In filling the White Temple pul
pit he made a profound impression on
the congregation, which voted unani
mously for the call made for him.
