It hat long been believed by some of

contractor could be dispensed vita la a
majority f cases, and the work now go

On the corner of Park and Montgomery
a residence, two and one-half sforlea

about 14000, but if a contractor haft been
given: the' Job, It,, is estimated that It
would have cost fully HOW more. He
receives at the rat of about W cents a
day from each'maa employed, and with a
long-drawn-out Job it can be readily seen
that his profits would run tip fa large

upon the money he reoetves as represent

they are doing this by giving the work

Important one, the plan gives promise of

Under this plan three handsome flats,
at a cost of $800 ax being built on Clay

It ,1s believed that these slips placed in
tho communications of ' business men will
do mors to advertise the big carnival than
anything else. Local merchants; by mak
ing application for them slips at carnival
headquarters, corner of ' Seventh and
Stark streeta, can obtain a supply.
The plan of advertising the carnival in
a "message from the clouds" will surely
prove unique. A balloon haa been engaged
which will make ascents to an altitude
of 3000 feet from whleh will be scattered
tiny slips piihted on vari-colored paper
containing an advertisement of the car
nival. To the person collecting- the great-
eat number of these and presenting them
will be given a season ticket The neat
highest number will he exchangeable for
a ticket admitting bearer te all shows on
the grounds.
B. B. Rich, with that pushing energy
for which he is noted, is making collec

he will be easily able to do so. Manager
Rowe and the members of every com

The object of her visit Is to organise a
branch of ...the National Consumers'
League in Portland
This organisation labors in ths Inter
ests of employes and "recognising the
fact that the majority of employers are
virtually 1 helpless to maintain a high
standard as to hours, wane and work
ing conditions under the stress of com
petition ; unless sustained by the co-operation
of consumers, the National Con
sumers' ? League proposes to educate;
public opinion and to endeavor so to di
rect its force as to promote better con
ditions among the workers, while secur-
i ing to ths consumer exemption from, the
dangers' ' attending unwholesome condl
Mens. It shall be the special function of
the National consumers' League to se
cure' adequate Investigation of the con
dltions under which goods are made, in
order to enable purchasers to distinguish
between the product of the sweat shop
and that of the well ordered factory."
It is understood that many of the prom
inent business houses of Portland look
favorably upon the objects of th league.
Mrs. Nathan will appear under the
auspices of tha Council of Jewish women
of which "Mrs. 6. M. Blumuuer is presi

Orders New Engines and WiU be
Using. Oil for Fuel August J.
In a brief talk with The Journal this
morning, President &v B. Lytle, ot the
Columbia Southern, said that two of the
engines of his company, now being re
modeled to burn oil for fuel, will be ready
for use by August 1. Two weeks later
two mors will be finished. Some little
delay was experienced in getting firebrick
and castings from San Francisco or the
work would have been finished sooner.
There are now two oil tanks at Biggs
containing 10,000 galons of oil each. An
other one to hold 0000 gallons Will be
erected at Shanlko, and all will b ready
to accommodate the locomotives with fuel
by August 15.
We shall add two more freight engines
to our equipment soon probably before
fall," volunteered President Lytle. "The
orders for them are already In: with the
Baldwin Locomotive Works at . PhUadal-
pl-la. We are putting up an engine house
at Biggs tor the accommodation of our
engines. It being a junotion point makes
desirable location for this purpose.
We are better supplied with- ware
houses than many linos, as either have
them already erected at every station or
they are In prooess of construction. The
Waeod Milling Company Is putting up a
five-story flouring mill at Weeeot A new
warehouse Is building at Grass Valley
