In aft parts of the city they have bn going up steadily since the rains ceased last spring. A large number are now Just being completed, but several have only been commenced, notably In the west end.

Chief of Police Hallock said yes terday that parents would have to as sist the police If the terms of the cur few ordinance were to vigorously en forced. The chief realizes that many girls and boys roam the -streets after the hour fixed by law for them to be in the house, but he Insists that it will be Impossible for the police to put a stop to the practice unless the parents lend their efforts. The chief feels that parents are lorgely responsible tor much of the juvenile Indiscretion which has lately been brought to the atten tion of the authorities, for It Is well nigh Impossible to keep children off the streets If the parents assume an Indifferent attitude. ' . J The bill at tne Star this week Is simply immense and the theater is packed nightly. Lewis Burdick, ma gician, opena the performance with some wonderful feats of slelght-of- hand. O'Nell and Russell are a com edy sketch team with new humor, and their turn offers IS minutes of gen uine fun.

Mr. Scott sings "Like a Star That Falls From.Heaven," and the motion pictures are of more than usual Interest. Mayor Surprenant, who, Is superln tending the work of building the court house, as the county's representative, stilted yesterday that excellent progress was being made. In all 25 men are at work, of whom 1 1 are stone cutters and stone setters. As fast as the stone Is cut It Is placed In position and the walls are gradually being built up. One thousand tons of stone will be neces sary to complete the basement, or 25 carloads, each of 40 tons. This quanti ty of stone Will cost,- delivered here, $5000. The stone Is sold by the foot and delivered at Astoria costs 40 cents a foot. In every foot there are 160 pounds, and the cost per ton is, there fore, 35. A very large quantity of brick Is also being used in the walls, which are remarkably substantial. The build Ing Is going to be a large one, and there Is every reason to believe that it will prove one of the finest public structures in the northwest.

Deputy County Clerk Dalglty thought his time had come yesterday. A young man who lives in precinct No. 5 entered the office and said he desired to register. Mr. Dalglty stepped forward and pro' ceeded to register the young man. He gave bis name, his age (26), his na tlve state (Illinois) and his place of residence. "Democrat or republican?" queried the deputy. "What's thatr demanded the voter. "Democrat or re publican r repeated the clerk. Then the voter proceeded to tell the deputy what he thought of him. He set forth 4 In distinct terms that he was an Amer ican citizen, and that he did not pur pose telling anyone his political faith when such a request for the informa tion were made. "In some states you would be shot for asking such a ques tion," continued the young man. He was very Indignant, and for a time it seemed trouble would ensue. Finally he was made to understand that the direct primary law required the clerk to ask this question. The explanation was satisfactory, but the voter de clined to reply to what he evidently regarded a decidedly un-American question.
