City I Attorney Long is drafting an ordinance I to widen slightly the street between the two plaza blocks In front of the court house, that tbe fountain to be erected by , Hon. D. P.

To make a , passage on either side of sufficient width to accommodate teams, the sidewalk will be moved In a tew feet. The part of the walk affected Is only Immediately opposite the fountain, where a slight curve will be made. The ordinance for ihe change -will be Introduced at the next meeting of the council. Delay in Bridgs Construction. Some delay has been encountered In the con struction of the Madison-street bridge. through lack of timber. The unusually j juiib tuum suuu) iieeaeu lor aecK supports are hard to obtain, and so the contractors have not taken down the superstructure of the fourth span yet, as they desire to have the necessary timber on the ground before proceeding. Tbe three east spans are being finished up, and sidewalks have been constructed for 600 feet on each side. The new trusses are being treated to one coat of preservative paint, supplemented by a coat of mineral red, which will en able the timber to withstand decay. Smallpox: at Moro Abating C. L. Ire land, a newspaper man of Moro, Sherman county, who Is at the Perkins, says the rmallpox scare is about at an end In his town, only two cases remaining In the pest house, and these are light. The contagion was brought Into Moro by a laborer em ployed on the railroad, and the railroad -camps have been the principal sources of anxiety on the part of the town authori ties, but these are free of all sign of smallpox now. The Columbia Southern track will reach Grass valley this week, Mr. Ireland says, and the camps will thus be moved further southward In building the line to Shanlko. Agreement for Onb Fare. Agree ments between the Metropolitan and City & Suburban railway companies were filed yesterday with the committee on streets, In the council, in accordance with the ordi nance recently passed for the extension of the carline to the Taylor Ferry road. In the franchise, it was specified that the two companies, In operating the extension, should charge only one fare, and the agree ment put them on record to that effect. As the line has not been built yet, the agreement has but little present Import ance, but may In the future prove of great value to the traveling public. Improving North Front Street.

"Kid" Moore, a morphine fiend, cut his throat In the county jail at 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon, and, although the self inflicted wound was a bad one, his recovery Is expected. Moore was confined In corri dor No. 2, among the common class of criminals like himself, serving only jail sentences, and he suddenly seized a razor that a fellow-prisoner was shaving with. It has always been the practice to permit this sort of jail Inmates to shave If they bo desire, and there is no reason to watch themselves. Moore was given a seven months' sentence recently by Judge Hen nessy, and Jailer Dougherty had refused htm morphine, the object being to break him of the habit of using it This la one of the purposes sought to be accomplished by the authorities, and much trouble re sults. Moore was a pretty bad case, and the want of the accustomed drug must have rendered him temporarily Insane. When he picked up the razor, several of the prisoners witnessed the act, but never for a moment thought he intended himself any harm. Suddenly, without warning, he made a slash at his throat, inflicting a horrible gash. The men Immediately grabbed and disarmed him and called for assistance. Jailer Dougherty rushed to the scene and, upon ascertaining what had taken place, telephoned to Dr. McKay, the county physician. He came as soon as possible, and sewed up the wound. Moore's condition Is not considered dan gerous. He will be removed to the hos pital If It Is considered necessary, but at present occupies comfortable quarters In the jail. He Is about 28 years of age; o FOR CO-OPERATION Portland and Salem Commercial Bodies Lead tho Movement. Tho Portland and Salem chambers of commerce have joined hands in a move ment to bring about co-operation between all points In Oregon for tho common good. A farmers' congress will be held at Salem next Wednesdaj and Thursday and industrial bodies throughout the state havO been invited to participate. In Inviting the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Secretary Thlelsen, of tho Sa lem chamber of commerce, suggested that local jealousies be laid aside and that all Oregon communities co-operate "In an ef fort to make things move " The Portland Chamber of Commerce promptly gave its cordial indorsement to the plan, and its president, George Taylor, jr., wrote as follows to Secretary Thlelsen: "Portland's Chamber of Commerce is heartily in favor of working together as muoh as possible, and of bringing country and city together, because wc have all realized that one cannot get along without the other. The city must have its sur rounding country to work with, and the country must have some place where It can dispose of its products. I am sure that this sentiment Is strong In Port land " Replying to this letter, Secretary Thlel sen wrote: "Such sentiments as your let ter expresses will do much to bring about that abolition of local jealousies that I have been laboring for since I have acted as secretary of our local chamber of com merce."
