Pbbpabxko tor thb Fountain. 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. Thompson will not lnconvenl- j
ence those using the street. The fountain j
will be placed In the center of Main street, '
hetween Third and Fourth. 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.

that residents of that section are clamor
ing for some improvement. The matter
was discussed yesterday by councllmen,
and most of them regarded the case as

CUT HIS THROAT.
Crazed Morphine - Eater Attempts
Soicide in the County- Jail.
"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;

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." SALE I SALEM
