IS THE SUNDAY OBEGOiNIAff, PORTLAND,. MARCH 23, 1902. SELLWOOD AGAIN IN LINE PROMISES TO GIVE LIBCRAIXY TO LEWIS AXD CLARK FAIR. Board of Trade Will Make Hoae-to- Hoase Canvass In Effort to Lead Suburbs. In the second canvass for funds for the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition Sellwood promises to lead the suburbs, as It did In the flrst one, when the place subscribed nearly $2000. Steps were taken to begin a canvass at the meeting of the Sellwood Board of Trade Friday night. It was decided to make a house-to-house visitation, and the same committee which did the work before will again be In charge. D. M. Donaugh Is the chairman. The canvass will be commenced at once. It was feared that so large a sum was raised In the flrst place that a second cill might not be responded to very liberally, but the announcement that a second call for funds was to be made to aid in rais ing the capital stock to $500,000 was re ceived with enthusiasm on every hand. Many who subscribed liberally before ex press themselves ready to double their subscriptions. The Portland City & Oregon Railway Company sent a communication to the board to the effect that If the people of St 11 wood will provide a lot, If the company will put up a depot and sidetrack. This was in answer to a request sent the com pany some time ago. The conditions will be complied with, and Sellwood will get the depot. D. M. Donaugh and E. B. Madden were appointed a committee to see about securing a lot. It was decided that an effort will be made to get a lot near Umatilla avenue, which is central. The company will then build a sidetrack through to the golf links. President Donaugh announced the fol lowing standing committees for the year: Executive committee D. M. Donaugh, L. H. Andrews., J.

The Intention is finally to extend the branch to a connec tion with the St. John railway. In the matter of Improvements In Mult nomah Addition little progress Is being made on Beech Btreet. On Falling street property-owners representing COO feet have signed, and as 1200 are required, it is considered reasonably assured that the improvement will be brought about. Dr. McDanlcls said that he had been op posed to using gravel on Shaver street, and declared that he was more opposed to gravel than ever. He gave as one reason for his opposition that If the street should be graveled the small boys of the neighborhood would throw most of the gravel through the windows of his building on Shaver street and Mississippi avenue. They had thrown most every kind of missile through the windows, and he did not desire to furnish them any more weapons. Shaver street will very likely be planked. slble. Machinery la being selected, and will be here when the buildings are ready. Chimney Fire Caasea Excitement. A Are alarm was struck yesterday after noorf from box 214, Hawthorne avenue and East Water street, for a chimney Are In the grocery store of C. Swain. 'The Fire Department responded promptly, but no damage was done. When the alarm was flrst heard It was reported that the flre was in the Standard Oil Company's plant, and there was much alarm. STREET RAILWAY EXTENSION. MlKsIssIppl-Aveune Branch Will Be Built Four Block North-ward. J. M. Turner, of the Central Alblna Board of Trade, says that the City & Suburban Railway Company has com pleted the Mississippi-avenue branch to Shaver street, and he has been informed that the company will extend the line four blocks further north. This will BRISK BOAT BUILDING. Work Has Been Started on a Shal-lovr-Water Craft for the Ynkon. Boat building promises to be brisk all through the year. At the Supple yird the two large high-class Government barges are finished and will be launched the coming week. Twenty pontoons are being built In this yard for the Port of Portland. Yesterday the new Alaska shallow water boat was laid down in the vacant block on the west side of East Water street. It will be 120 feet long by 24 feet wide. Frames are being out out and will all be knocked down and shipped in parts to Alaska. The knees are all the natural crooks, and are very fine timber. These natural crooks add great strength to the boat. The timber for them Is obtained in the country east of Mount Scott, and Mr. Supple says that few countries can sup ply flner ship timbers than Oregon. At this yard some very fine oak timbers have Just been received from Washington County. The contract for building a Government boat 75 feet long will come to Mr. Sup ple, as he had in the lowest bid, and these oak sticks will be used In this craft, un less he happens to lose the contract, which Is not probable. There Is considerable Inquiry concerning shallow-water boats, and a letter came from California asking for information as to this class of crafts. The outlook Is that the boatyards will all be kept busy this year. Death ef Mr. Lonlse R. Tyler. Mrs. Louise R. Tyler, wife of A. L. Tyler, died yesterdy at her home, 695 East Washington street, after a linger ing illness. Mrs. Tyler had lived on the East Side for the past 10 years, and was Identified with St David's Episcopal Church. The funeral will be held tomorrow. East Side Notes. Captain J. W. Stapleton, living at 410 Brazee street, Alblna, while trying to catch a Woodlawn car last evening, slipped, and, falling, dislocated his right shoulder and suffered a painful Injur. A. C. Brush, a well-known resident of Alblna, who had been confined at the Good Samaritan Hospital for several weeks with serious Illness, has recovered and returned to his home. Last of Oar Factory Men Leaves. John Suders. who came to Portland to act as foreman of the now defunct oar factory on East Water and East Clay streets, left last evening for Clarendon, Ark., where he will take the foremanshlp of an establishment at that place. Ho Is the last of the men who came here to operate the oar factory to take his de parture. It Is generally conceded that the failure of the factory was due to mis management. Suitable timber Is here in abundance, and there Is ample market for all the oars that could have been turned out. "WIDEN WHITE HOUSE ROAD Boulevard Will Be Increased to GO or 80 Feet the Entire Length. The widening of the White House road from CO to SO feet, which has been agi tated for over a year past, will soon be commenced. It Is proposed to widen the road its entire length, and as a starter the work will be done, beginning at Ham ilton avenue and extending to Fulton. Bids have been advertised for, and County Surveyor Hurlburt has prepared the plans and specifications, which arc on file In the ofllce of the County Clerk. The road will be straightened at curves as much as possible, and also leveled wherever this can readily be accomplished. The reason for widening and improving the road is to make a driveway oncach side and still leave room for heavy teams, farm wagons, etc, in the center. This road Is much traveled, as well as used for a driveway, and the change is a de sirable one. The work soon to bo com menced will cover a distance of 8100 feet and end at a bridge near Fulton. The .remainder of the work will be done late'r on. A MEAN TRICK. To knowingly give a friend a poor cigar should be a punishable offense. If you want the lasting gratitude of a critical smoker, offer him a La SInccrldad. Want Lndd .Avenue Replankcd. Clinton Kelly Board of Trade will try and have Ladd avenue through the Ladd tract south of Hawthorne avenue re planked. The avenue has become impas sable for loaded wagons, and travel from the southeast now uses Division street. It Is said that the owners of the tract will furnish lumber for rebuilding the road way if the city will do the work. The board will ascertain what can be done, and will take up the matter at the meet ing next Tuesday evening. Nevr Factory Buildings. The surveyors have set the grade stakes for the buildings of the Frank Smith Company, sash, door and finishing fac tory, on the block between East Seventh and East Eighth and East Taylor and East Yamhill streets, but, owing to the storm the contractor has not been able to start work.
