V. occur this afterr;on at th hat), comer Bond end Eleventh street. Friend of tlm union ar Invited to attend th meeting. The steamer Alliance, with frelaht and passenger from eJan Francisco and way tswls. arrived yesterday and proredd up to Portland. ' Mayor Buprenant yeirterday signed the ordinance providing for the con struction of a new bridge at th In tersection of Franklin avenue and Fifth street. The George W, Elder arrived In yesterday from Han Francisco after a rather stormy passag up the coast. Hire smashed Into th O. 11, A N. (kick on landing, but did little damage. Two men arrested at Long Beach1. Wash., on last Barturday for house breaking and bound over . to the au !erlr court In the sum f S0O0 broke Jail in flwaco last night and are now at large. Several hnum-s were enter ed by these culprits and a quantity of clothing and blankets were titken. They were' caught In the Eatrbrook house, but raptured before they had secured anything from there. It Is expected they wilt be mmplured to day, m a posse Is out after them. The clerks In the wherlffs office ar very busy making out deeds to proper ty bought in for delinquent taxes. The deeds are being execu'.ed lo the coun ty so ht sale can be made, as was provided for by the last legislature. In all there ar more than 100 de linquent, and that many deed will have to be made out. The work iwlll not be finished for some tlm to vome, as the collection of taxes Is occupying considerable of the time of the fherlff and hla force. The West Bide correspondent of the Astorian writes that the recent dam age to the Jetty waa due to lack of rol-k to hold the superstructure in po sition. In all. 42 bents, 672 feet In length, went out during the storm. This, with what was carried away by earlier storms of the present winter, ha destroyed nearly all J he work done ii'Mi season, a recurrence of thJs dls sster Is not probable after the win' ter la over, for government engineers have found a upjfly of rock. The Push Club park committee haa been granted further time In which to report to th club whether or not Jt will be possible to acquire one-half the property recently bonded by It from C. W. Rhtvely, Mr. Shlvely, now a reeldent of Portland, will be consulted. The roads committee has also been granted further time to report on the cost of the Nehalem highway, to date, aa It will be necessary to make careful re- -areh of the records on file with County Clerk Wherlty. The committee is anxious to have the county sawmill transferred to the Lewis and Clark to aslst the people there, a, when I toad master Frye finishes sawing lum ber at Kroael'a, no more lumber will be required for somo months. The committee believes the sawpilll ought to be kept In operation In the mean time. K. HouRhton, of Seaside, Is In town as a circuit court Juror.. Mr. Hough ton rs very much Interested In the lo cal movement for a road to Tillamook, and expresses confidence that th peo ple of the adjoining county will do their share to build the proposed high way. Mr. Houghton recently went over the southwestern portion of the county with Southern Pacific engineers and found that K was possible to se cure an excellent grade below Arch Cape. The Push Club rs now at work on the matter and tire roads commit tee haa already placed itself In com munication with one of the Tillamook merchants. This gentleman has been away from home and the committee has as yet received no reply to Its totter. The Support of Tillamook county can be depended upon, how ever, for the plan of co-operation In noad-bulhUng originated there. The annual meeting of the Columbia Conference of Swedish Lutheran churches began last evening in the Swedish Lutiheran church. Tbew was a large attendance, and Rev. U. A. Anderson preached a very helpful and able sermon. The ministers piesent ar; J. W. flkans. Portland; N. J. W. Nelson, Mosoow, Idaho; W. L. Lar son, teattle; C. B. Frisk, Tacoma; B. 9, Nystrom, La Conner; L. A. Hocan xon, Butte. Lay preachers: J. A. Levin, Everett, Wash.; C. E. Holt, Portland; A. O. Landell, Towa. Lay delegate!

In the aft ernoon, beginning at 2:30, brief ad dresses win be given on selected top ics, by the pastors of the conference. In the evening Rev. C. E. . Frisk, of Taooma, and Mr. C. E. Holt, of Port land, wll apeak. This service will be gin at 7:30 and will be entirely In English. All are Invited. Before the week is ovr President" Carnuhan, of the Push Club, will name a committee to work With a Cham ber of .Commerce commilte In pub lishing a handsomely illustrated book descriptive of Clatsop coutfty, Ap pointment of the committee was au thorised at laist night's meeting of the club. There was considerable discus sion as to whether or not publip as sistance should be asked, but It waa finally decdded to defer action on this maaitter. Doubtless merchants, manu facturers and property owners will be acquainted with the faot that they can secure copies of the book at a mall oost, but opinion Is adverse to any appeal for assistance. The mer chants and property owners ar par ticularly Interested in an Increased population, and If they do not wlh to assist hi advertising the county the two commercial bodies wfll do so. It is the Intention to get out a book that will be a work of art and something that will not be of mere temporary bmflt. The Chamber of Commerce will meet on Monday night, at which time President Tallant will be author ized to name a special commute to work with the Push Club committee. At every meeting of th two bodies numerous requoata for information ar rewlved from Eastern people, and th need of some firm-class descrip tion of local resources Is keenly felt Of course, the various committee ar attending to all such requests, but It Is impossible to send to each Inquirer all the Information that should be furnished. It will take fully three month u Isvue the book. Scenes of interest will be reproduced. Robert Wherry, of Elsie, who was at last night's meeting, said there is a rpruoe tree 93 feet t inches in circumference in Gods valley, and appropriately sug gested that this monster eupposcdly the largest tree in Clatsop be photo graphed for publication In the book. Sheriff Linvllle will commence the collection of taxes on Monday. It Is Just possible that the start miv be de layed a day. The collection this year will be made In accordance with the new state law, which provide for several important changes. The law was framed as an Inducement to prop erty owners to promptly settle their tax accounts, and, while (Ring espec ially favorable to those who pay promptly, ts likewise very mere with the delinquent The property owner who pays his taxes on or before the 15th of March will be allowed a I per cent rebate. If the land owner pay one-half .the amount of hla tax before April 8. ho will be allowed un til the first Monday In October to pay the balance due, and no addition al costs will be charged against him. However, if he neglected to settle be fore the first Monday In October, a penalty of 10 per cent wn le requir ed of him, and he will also be charg ed 12 per cent interest on the amount of hla taxes from April I (the day fol lowing Che first Monday in April) to the time of settlement. The property owner who pay half his taxes on or before April 7 of this year and doea not pay the balance by October 12 will be considered a del n iJ.Ml so far as the one-half due la concerned, and the penalty and Interest will be charged against hlm Just as If he had neglect ed to settle In part That feature of the law which requires a delinquent to pay 12 per cent Interest has been re' garded as Irregular v by many land' owners, as the legal rate of interest In Oregon Is per cent. The conten tion waa that the 13 percent charge constituted usury. However, this opin ion is erroneous, as the law empowers the legislature to fix any rate of In terest It might choose in special acts of the hind. Taxpayer will find It to their interest to settle promptly this year, and already several persons have paid their taxes. Tire general public Is requested not to call at the sheriff's office before next Monday; as arrange ments for collection have not yet been completed. TARNSFER OF REALTT. J. A.
