However, once in a while a fellow stops to inquire examine look at things that he knows nothing about and sometimes none of his business. But if the thing is attractive takes his eye he will pause. Well, that's mv , experience regarding ladies' hats. But I want to say I haven't been stopped very often of late years to gaze at some hat displayed in a window for the reason, I suppose, that there . have been a good many in the hat business who know very little more about it than I did.

McAIlen & McDonnell, Third and Morrison. Takes Big Lumber Cargo. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 19. (Special.) The steamer Yosemite cleared at the Custom House today for San Francisco with a cargo of 900.000 feet of lumber, loaded as follows: Three hundred thousand feet at Raymond. 260.000 feet at Prescott, 100.009 feet at Rainier and 230.000 feet at the Hammond Lumber Company's mill. By the adoption of a resolution yester day morning, the City Executive Board instructed City Attorney Kavanaugh to institute proceedings for the condemna tion of all rights and privileges of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany and all other interests in connec tion with the construction of the pro jected Madison-street bridge. The chief opponent of the new bridge is the rail way company, which has served notice that it will resist the effort to build. The streetcar company officials contend that they have a right to operate over the Madison-street bridge for 13 years more and that the city cannot legally interfere with that right. However, the city off! clals have proceeded with rapidity to carry out the provisions of the act, which was passed by the people, for the new span, which is to cost $4oo,000. The resolution of the Board, adopted yesterday morning, is as follows: vv hereas. The Portland Railway Light & Power Company, by B. S. Jos- selyn. Its president, has declined to enter into negotiations for surrender of the lease, franchise and other rights and privileges which it has: or claims to have. In, to and upon what is now known as the Madison-street bridge and approaches thereto, and has fused to consider or submit a proposal for the lease to operate cars over and across 'a new bridge proposed to bo erected by the city in place of the present Madison-street bridge, in ac cordance with the provisions of section 118 of the city charter, as amended by vote of the people June 3, 1907: and. "Whereas. The present Madison-street bridge is practically unsafe and worn out and no longer fit for the heavy and Increasing traffic across the river at that point, and a new bridge Is an immediate public necessity; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Board proceed in accordance with the provisions of said section 118. as amended, to construct the bridge therein authorized, and to that end that the City Attorney be and he is hereby authorized and directed forthwith to institute in the name of the city of Portland any and all actions, suits or proceedings proper and necessary for the condemnation for the public use and benefit of the city of Portland and the inhabitants thereof of any and all lease or leases, franchise or franchises, rights. easements, interests, privileges or claims in. to or upon what is known as the Madison-street bridge, and all approaches thereto, held, owned or claimed by the Portland Railway, light & Power Com pany, or bv any other person or persons or corporation or corporations, and to prosecute such action, suits or proceed ings to final determination with all pos sible dispatch. And In order to obviate any question of the validity of such pro ceedings and of the authority of the City Attorney to begin and prosecute the same on behalf of and in the name of the city, be it further Resolved: That the City Auditor be and is hereby requested to transmit this resolution, together with the resolution adopted by this Board September 11, 1908, the letter of B. 3.

IN Battle With Desperadoes Who Steal Treasure Among Realistic Scenes Typical of Western Life. An exciting and engaging scene to be presented here with Buffalo Bill's Wild West, . September 25- and 26, will be the great train holdup in which the methods employed by train robbers will be il lustrated in minute detail. Furthermore the details of bandit hunting will be fully shown. Ever since the Union Pacific stretched its tracks westward to connect with the shores of the Pacific Ocean, train rob beries have been a menace to life and property. The problem of effectually coping with these desperados had long been unsolved, until the Union Pacific established a posse of bandit hunters, equipped with a special car, and ready at call to be transported to a scene of depredation. After a few experiences with the bandit hunters, train robbing became eo hazardous that the lawless Westerner finally almost entirely aban doned the occupation. Thus as a passing scene, typical of the development of the West, Buffalo BUI presents a realistic train holdup. A practical engine, draw ing a practical train, forms the Important factor In the holdup. The methods of the train robber are depicted and 'as a climax to the scene the bandit hunters of the Union Pacific appear to visit retri bution upon the desperadoes. The great train holdup is not the only typical Western scene which is shown with Buffalo Bill's exhibition. There will be "The Battle of Summit Springs," re producing one of the deciding conflicts in Indian warfare, a battle in which Buf falo Bill originally took part. There will be a realistic attack upon an emigrant train and there will be "A Holiday at T-E Ranch" which will depict scenes of ranch life and will show the pastimes of the plainsmen when they "take a day SUMMER RESORTS.
