The Queen Goes Shopping
Miss Hattie Wise, the fair Queen
of the Regatta, went to Portland
e-terday in company with Mrs. K.
O-born for the purpose of purchas
ing her royal robes for the regatta.
Her sister, Miss Louise, also wenti
with her, and probably it will prove
a delightful time in the shops of the
metropolis in search Of the things for
her royal attire. In accordance with
the custom of the regatta committee,
it was voted to grant the Queen a suf
ficient sum to cover the main expense
incidental to her leading position.
Perhaps it may bt whispered that
the committee voted to grant as
loyal subjects should what was
deemed a reasonable sum, and there
for gave the Queen $400, and to the
mere men of the committee this seem
ed a sum large enough to gorgeously
attire the 1908 Queen of the Regatta,
though it is not at all improbable
that the Queen may have to use some

terday morning at dawn, a north-

sneak who was endeavoring to get
away with his running lights, and
made him fasten them back in place,
which the thief was glad to do all
the while praying the owner not to
shoot any more.

"Tombstone Corner"
A small shack of a building is be
ing erected at the southwest corner
of Commercial and Sixteenth street,
which, it is said, will be used as a
tombstone factory. There is already
a small building occupied by a similar
business a few feet to the west, and
the two of them will now make a reg
ular tombstone corner out of it. Ijor
the sick and dying patients in St
Mary's hospital, directly to the rear,
the sight of the manufacture of tomb
stones will doubtless prove , highly
edifying, and especially is this very
likely inasmuch as the hospital com
mands a "magnificent view of the
tombstone corner. Incidentally, it is
said at the city hall that no permit
was secured for the erection of the
new factory, though an ordinance ttl
quires that permits be secured for the
erection of buildings. Yet it is ad
mitted that the ordinance carries with
it, apparently, no means of enforcing
itself, and the whole subject of the
buildings, of restrictions for certain
kinds of businesses, and of fire re
strictions that mean anything, seem
to be in more or less of a condition
characterized by lawyers as in
nubibus.
