(JOMPLETrNG THE LONG TUNNEt.. Five
hundred foot of the tunnel for the Irving-
ion .cwer Is completed, and the remaining
ifiO feet arc being excavated, -while mate
rial Is being gathered for the remaining
12.000 feet of open sewer construction.
This tunnel, 09 feet long, begins practi
cally at the river, although the first
phaft was sunk on the west side of Lar
rabec street at the intersection of Han
cock. From this shaft the tunnel for the
newer was completed to the river and
work started toward the cast along Han
cock street. At the deepest point this
tunnel is 72 feet below the surface. As
the excavating has gone forward the dirt
Is brought in a tramway to the shafts
where it is lifted to the surface. The
main shaft for removing the dirt is Just
cast of Larrabec street. The inside of
the tunnel resembles a mine, and It is
lighted by electric jets strung along the
top. To prevent caving in the sides and
lop are supported by heavy timbers and
plank. No accidents have occurred. The'
contractors are proceeding carefully. It
is announced that this big sewer will bo
completed in the Fall. It will cost $133,000.
Locai, Fwx Protection. The Portland
Woolen Mills, at St. Johns, which In
stalled a local fire apparatus at that
plant, has had several practical demon
strations of Its efficiency. When the lire
occurred on the Regulator the volunteers
from the woolen mills had a good
stream turned on the boat even before
the town apparatus could reach the scene.
"When the Cone Bros, and Douglass mills
burned down the local fire company saved
1 the Jobes flour mills. E. L. Thompson,
i manager for the woolen mills, says that
the apparatus cost the company ?5000. It
consists of two powerful pumps, with a
capacity of 00,000 gallons of water, which
stand on towers separate from the main
buildings, and give good pressure within
COO feet of the plant. He says that the
company finds the investment in Arc pro
tection a good tiling.
Investigating Richards Case. The
committee appointed by the People's
Forum to investigate the Richards case
is still at work. It Is understood that
much damaging evidence has been se
1 cured by the committee arid that the rc
' port it will make some time tills week
: "will be of a very startling nature. At
1 the meeting of the People's Forum to
night at the Elks Hall the committee
will submit a tentative report of the in
vestigation it has been conducting. The
' committee is composed of Dr. Stephen S.
"Wise. II. D. Wagnon and Mrs. Millie R.
Trumbull.
"Y(Ant New School. District. At a
meeting of residents In the south end of
the Arleta district Friday night a commit
tee was appointed to ascertain if a new
district could not be formed out of Nash
ville and "Woodmcrc. This committee will
wait on the county boundary committee
to ascertain what the chance for a new
district Is. These places are located ?o
far from the Arleta schoolhouse that, It
is hard for the small children to reach
the buildhig.
Sold Cans or Water for Fruit. In
vestigation has developed that the man
who has been selling cans of water, al
leging it to be fruit, is probably sincere
in his belief. It Is said that the cans
were used in the California exhibit, the
labels being those of various fruits
grown in that state, and after the Fair
they were thrown out and later picked up
by the man who has been selling them.

DO YOU SEE m
Just as well as you would like to? In a great many cases poor eye
sight has been caused by glasses not fitting properly; perhaps a
little too strong or you may be wearing a near-sighted glass when
you really should be wearing a far-sighted glass.
The Prames may not fit your nose as they should, and instead of
looking: exactly through the center of the lens you may be looking
through one side, which often will produce a headache.
Our Optician is a graduate from one of the finest Eastern col
leges, also a member of the firm, who has had j'ears of experience
and will be only too pleased to have you consult h'im, whether you
buy glasses or not He uses no medicine or drops at all, but by the
aid of the very latest instruments is able to detect the slightest 'error
of the eye.
We charge nothing for testing your eyes. You may only need
a new frame, or perhaps the lenses need a slight change, and as Wc
carry a very complete line of frames and lenses would be able to fit
you out immediately.

290 Mormon St, Near Fifth
CoMn.AiN of Bad Bots. Residents in
the vicinity of East Morrison and Twenty-seventh
streets arc complaining of the
action of a gang of destructive boys, who
assemble at the shelter station of the
Mount Tabor and Sunnysldc car-line at
that point. They gather there to distrib
ute the evening papers, and while wait
ing vent their destructive powers upon
the -woodwork of the little building by
cutting, hacking and tearing out the
planks. This shelter is a great accommo
dation to the public, especially In wet
weather. Between 4 and 5 P. M. Is said
to be about the time these boys congre

READY FOR BUSINESS.
First Iilfc Insurance Company Or
ganized Under Laws of Oregon.
The first life insurance company
ever organized under the laws of the
State of Oregon, the Columbia Life
&. Trust Company, has boen incorpor
ated with a paid-up capital of $100,000.
and has the authority of the Secretary
of State to do businoss. Their general
offices -will be in the Brookc-Glcsy
building, which are being fitted up for
them. Their temporary offices are now
in the Concord building.
The company is starting out under very
favorable circumstances, to operate iii
Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The
officers of the company do not claim
that they expect to be the biggest com
pany in the United States, but are
organized to do a careful, conservative,
economical business In the territory
above mentioned.
Their plan, differs materially from the
old-line companies, inasmuch as the pol-iey-polder
will, on all investment Insur
ance issued, in case of death receive
both the insurance and the Investment
feature. Their officers, board of di
rectors and stockholders are composed
of some of the leading business men In
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, and while
they do not state In any way the vol
ume of business they expect to do, it
Is quite evident that the business In
sight for them will be considerable,
because their plan as outlined Is cer
tainly very convincing.
They start out without any business
at all upon their books, and they an
ticipate a gradual growth In their bus
iness from the start.
will represent the Gas Company at the
hearing, will not return from the East
prior to the first week In February, and
that It was the desire of the committee
not to take any unfair advantage. It be
ing represented that Mr. Teal Was the
only person familiar with the corpora
tion's line of defense.

You arc all aware of the great Increase
in rentals in the more favored locations
in the business district during the lat 12
months. This, and the fact that I needed
larger and more modern quarters, ac
counts for my change
My new location in the Auditorium
building, just south of the Taylor-Street
Church, at Xo. 210 Third street, but three
blocks from my old stand. Is thoroughly
modern and sanitary: and it ! hero that
I will be able to meet the demands of

dled under the most sanitary conditions
and on an economical basis as to prices.

to call and inspect my new quarters and
stock. Most sincerely yours,

SAX FRAXCISCO. Jan. 27. Miss Myr
tic M. Hubbard, a young woman, who
came to this city from Portland three
months, ago, committed suicide last
night by turning on the gas In her room
on Ellis street. She left the following
note:
"Goodbye to one and all. I hate to
leave the world tonight. To those -who
can enjoy the wonderful, beautiful, un
just nature "
She -was a milllnor, but for the last
month had been unemployed.
Miss Myrtle Hubbard, of Portland, -who

night, was cmploj'cd in a local depart
ment store in the millinery depart
ment, buicide is supposed to nave tccn
committed because of despondency. Mtes
Hubbard's relatives arc thought to live
In Seattle.
GOES TO AN AUTHORESS
Western people, and particularly Ore
gonlans, arc Justly proud of their great
authoress, Eva Emery Dye, whose fame
Is known Internationally, as the writer of
"The Conquest" and many other note
worthy articles.
Mrs. Dye la recognized as one of the
foremost writers of the hour.
Her knowledge of things musical is
equally as great as her literary ability,
and her selection of a beautiful Chicker
Ing upright grand, recently, at Eilcrs Pi
ano House. Is a most significant fact of
the high standard of excellence of the
grand old Chlckering piano.
The case is a beautiful dark San Do
mingo mahogany, in an entirely new and
beautiful design. Mrs. Dye minutely scru
tinized and examined every make, of piano
sold Jn Portland, but when the soul-stlr-rlng
and sympathetic tone qualities of
the Chlckering rang out, she purchased
It immediately.
This Is only one of the many Instances
of how quickly the superiority of the
wonderful tone qualities of the Chlckering
Is recognized by persons capable of dis
tinguishing real merit.
