Interest In the JpllneBS camp meetlnij at KaBt Twelfth apt! Clinton streets in creases nightly. Yesterday was observed os a day of fasting, and tha meeting.be' run at 8 o'clock last night lasted till 6 o'clock this morning. It would surprise, the public to know the great number of school children era- ployed at the fruit and vegetable canner les across the rivor. Hundreds of little ones, from k to 15 years of age. are In these concerns. There are more of them tinder 12 than above that use. It is expected that the new Third Pres byterlan Church, on Bast Thirteenth and East Pine streets will bo finished and ready for dedication by August 10. The resignation of Rev. Robert McLean, the paator who has been called to I'orto Rico, will probably be accepted and arrange ments made for a new pastor. The Portland Gas Company has re duced the price of gas to $1.50 per 1000 cublo feet. As late as two years ago It sold Its gas at $2.372. Later the company began a systematic campaign of advertis i:ig. resulting In ho large an increase In Its business that it is enabled to make the reduction named and yet maintain iti usual dividends. Let it be remarked, in passing, that Colonel Hawkins' city museum frog, and liis friends, the lizards, are still pleas antiy ensconced In their private pan at the City Hall. But the froR no longer carols his merry lay, and seems sud of heart, cast down and dreadfully dlscour. rg'ed. His long absence from the public prints has, it is believed, given htm In digestion. Drs. Coe and Gillespie, who established a sanitarium at Mount Tabor, one of Portland's sightliest suburbs, a few years ago, have met with such success that their present quarters have become in adequate and on yesterday they com nu-nced work on a new building. The structure will contain 2fi rooms all fitted tip in the most home-like and sumptions manner, with every convenience that modern architecture oon provide Portland Club. Fifth and Alder.

CHINESE LABORERS SCARCE The scarcity of Chinese labor ia a con dition that Is worrying the contractors, who furnish several thousand of the Celestials every year to the numerous canneries and hop growers. The demand is now quite active, especially for skilled labor of this class, and 'one prominent contractor stated a, day or two ago that he had been oblige to offer as' high as 1100 a month for butchers to w'ork In a cannery on Puget Sound and found trou ble In filling the order at that price. These contractors seem to be the chief sufferers from the effects of the Chinees exclusion acts. BICYCLE PATH REPAIRS. J. W. Nelson, County Superintendent, so to apeak, of bicycle paths, has spent 132.33 on repairs of the East Twenty-first treet path, and $16.91 In fixing up the Crosby-street path! The path from the corner of Twenty-second and Everett streets to the corner of Twenty-eighth and Thurman, cost $1186.98,' and the mak ing and smoothing down of the paths leading from the corner of Fifthteenth and Burnslde streets, along- Fifthteenth and tip Everett street to the corner of f wantjr-Heaoad street cost $57. Haphazard AnyoW-way" method of eye-glass fitting: here. Not for us. To. get the exact lense necessary to correct a certain defect of vision requires care ful, searching examination, and that takes time. We employ no rush methods. Sufficient time is devoted to each patient for thorough examination. When we have made an exam ination we know what the de feet Is and how to remedy it and we do It. - That's why our eye-glasses give satisfac tion. We do not care for the distinction of fitting more t glasses than any optician in j town, but we do want the di& tinctjon of giving best satis faction, and our efforts are to that end. JAEGER BROS.

"The Prairie Panther, Wltchlta, Kas." is the autograph that appears on the register of a down town hotel, but he must have hied himself away to haunts unknown, as he was not on exhibition at thtf hostelry this morning when inquisi tive callers inquired. LIKELY TO BE CLOSED Clinton Street Is Growing up to Brash and Brambles. Clinton street, from East Twelfth to East Twenty-first, may be fenced up or closed by the authorities. Possibly the street may be plowed up and devoted to cabbage and turnip culture. Not that the street is not badly neeed- ed. It la. On either side there Is scarcely a lot without a residence upon It. but the cit izens do not seem to need the thorough fare, and are permitting it to grow up to brush and brambles. The City & Sub urban Railway Company occupies the center of the street, and thus a trail Is kept open throughout the year, but the willows and other bushes occupy so much of the remaining portion of the "avenue" that traffic thereon will doubt less soon be abandoned. The sidewalks are In even worse con dition than the streets. By actual meas urement, made test evening, at one point on the north side, the five-foot walk Is monopolized by willows except 20 Inches, and at scarcely any place can two per. sons walk abreast. , These observations are a delightful aa- yertlsement for the energy, enterprise, neatness and tidiness of the dwellers along Clinton street. A scythe Industri ously wielded before each home, for a space of a dozen minutes twice a year, would add greatly to the beauty of the landscape. SIDEWALK REPAIRS. Thanks to the City Engineer consider able energy Is being manifested In the construction and repairs of sidewalks about town. Councilman , Slgler s pro posed ordinance, to barricade sidewalks when danger notices have been posted, will meet public approbation, and will be the means of awakening the moss back tendencies of those who look upon next year as as good as this. Danger notices have been posted on the side walks of the Perlott estate, on Rtflelgh street, between Fourteenth and Fifth-, teenth; the Spauldlng & Papworth prop erty, at Twelfth and Gllsan; the German Savings & Loan Society, at Twelfth and Flanders; Oedrga T. Meyers, at Tenth and Davis; A. B. Manley, at Ninth and Park and Flanders; A. Burckhardt, Park and Gllsan. Five days are allowed for the beginning of repairs, by the property owners. If neglected, the City will do the work. r FULTON Out of Race for Presi dent of the Senate OTHERS IN THE FIELD Dr. Andrew C. Smith, This Coun ty, Is in a Strong Position. With the thermometer ranging close to the 90's and the sultriness ofthe dogday period yet to be confronted, active politics that of the open and above-board sort la enjoying a rest gathering strength as It were for the campaign yet to come which Is due with the assembling of tho next Legislature and the election of Unittxl States Senator. But this lull In political activity in no wise augurs there is nothing doing; in the Oregon political field, as an aftermath of the strenuously contested struggle of last June. In fact, that there is some thing doing is strongly evidenced by fre quent visits to the metropolis of out of town politicians, of the quiet conference being held and the mysterious ways of those who apparently have 11 linger, if not a hund, In thu manipulations of lie subterranean methods being employed to furtner the Interests of divers Senato rial candidates and ambitious aspirants for place and recognition In the organiz ation of the next Legislature convening early next January. ORGANIZATION TI1K THING. Organization of the Legislative branches now has first call. On it In a a great measure hangs the' hope of more than one aspiring candidate for the seat in the United States Senate to be va- catcd,? jt tire? expiration of Senator !ti mon's term of ofllce. Both branches of the next Legislature are overwhelming ly Republican, in fact, the party strength Is so great numerically as to prove unwieldy, giving promise of an Interesting struggle among several can didates and their adherents to secure control of the Legislature with the least possible friction resuming. In the Sen ate there will be 24 Republicans and six Democrats; In tho House 49 Kepubll cans and H Democrats, giving to the ruling party on Joint ballot a majority of 58 in a total membership of 90. In this classification, the four Senators from Multnomah County, designated as rep resenting the Citizens party, nre placed where they rightfully belong, Hunt Mays and Smith In the Republican rank and Sweek In the Democratic column. In the House. Ilahn, of Clatsop County while electeu on a Citizens ticket, may be safely counted upon to line up with the majority. ABOUT Mrf. FUuTON. It had been conslderd certain that C. W. Fulton, of Clatsop, who was re-elected last June, would be an aspirant for tha presidency of the Senate. He Is also a candidate for United States Senator, but In the Interest of his higher aspiration has deemed It advisable to drop out of the fight for president of the senate. It is broadly stated that such determlna tion on his part was not decided upon until the discovery was made that he would have no easy sailing in an effort to secure the coveted honor. Senator Fultorr has twice been president of tha Senate. Two years ago he gained it by the close margin of one vote, and, only then by the apostasy of two Senators who went over to the enemy at the criti cal moment and gave their votes to the Clatsop County statesman in return for promised favors. BROWNELL IN THE FIGHT. Brownell, of Clackamas County, la making an active fight for the Senate presidency and says Fulton wants him to secure the place. He anticipates that Fulton's indorsement will pull him through, but no one has yet discovered that Fulton has announced his prefer ence, and if he should, there are reasons to believe that his choice would be Sen ator Booth, who jointly represents Lane, Douglas and Josephine Counties, and Is the head of the immense lumbering and milling industry of that part of Oregon under control of tha Booth-Kelly Com pany. Senator Booth is a close friend of Fulton, and despite Brownell's claim. It Is believed that should Fulton take any part In the fight for the Senate presidency, his Interests would be better subserved by espousing the Booth end of the contest. But neither Brownell or Booth is likely to succeed to the presi dency of the Senate. ' MULTNOMAH'S MAN. Multnomah County will have a candi date In the person of Dr. Andrew O. Smith, who wag elected two years ago, and made a brilliant record as a Senator at the 1901 session of the Legislature. He has not put himself out as a candidate for the presidency of the Senate, but a numJ ber of the Senators have expressed a de sire to so honor him, and by some his selection Is , considered a foregone con clusion. As to the other officers of the Senate, there are candidates In plenty. Those who served two years ago want their places again, but the selection of minor officers Is entirely dependent on who succeeds In securing the presidency. Everything hinges on such result, and it is safe to say none of the Senators are giving out Iron-clad, promises to support any particular candidate for the desk or floor positions within the gift of the Senate. Starvation in Russia. The situation of the famine-stricken peasants in Russia continues to grow worse. In 241 vllages of the Mlncellnsk district. Government of Cufa, 6815 cases of a hunger epidemic disease (scurvy) were officially recorded on April 14, as compared with ,2723 cases reported on March It This Is only a sample of ex isting condition la other famine-stricken districts. INCORPORATED. The Portland Sanitarium Will Now Be Greatly Expanded. The Portland Sanitarium and Benevo lent Association was Incorporated today by W. R. Simmons, H. E. Hoyt and R. Rose, The purpose of Incorporation ia to found and maintain a charitable medical and surgical sanitarium, hospital and asylum at Portland and other cities In Oregon and Washington for the care of patients of that class who can afford i pay for treatment, as well as for the poor who have no means with which to compensate their benefactors. To be more explicit, the sanitarium will never turn from Its doors' any needy person because of pov erty, 'but will take such Indigents under its beneficent care and give them such attention, support and comfort as shall conduce to restore such patient to health again. All funds received from paying patients, donations or other sources, are to be ex clusively devoted to the maintenance of Jtseif and to Improve Its candlllons an l facilities and In extending Its benefits and usefulness. It will be undenominn tlonai. The capital stock Is placed at 11000 In 1000 shares of $1 en eh. Of course $1000 does not represent the capital of the sanitarium, the stock being placed at that figure -merely for purposes of In corporation. The sanitarium Is located at First, Sec ond, Montgomery and Harrison streets, and is an offshoot of the great Ailvcn tlst parent concern at Battle Creek. Mich. A health food mill and factory Is con nected with It. DOESN'T LIKE M0RM0NISM. The Mormon missionaries have been very active of late pronely ting in Port land and vicinity in the Interests of their church. Two of them culled recently at a residence In the suburbs where they have been making- a house-to-house can vass. "We represent the Church of Jesus .Christ and Latter Day Saints," said one of the brethren by z:y tUir'tion. "That's enough," replied the portly matron who came tp the door. "I don't care to hold any converse with you or the likes of you at all." "Let's get out of this." uneasily whis pered the second brother, keeping his eye on the strong right arm of the good house wlfo, and. they took their way hence. EXPERIENCES IN ALASKA. Four Portland citizens, M. E. and F. W. Beatty, Geo. W. Caldwell and L. A. Clark and D. S. Richards of Boise, Ida ho experienced hardships enough to last an ordinary man a life-time, all becaus they were duped by a guide who claimed to be entirely familiar with the coun try where the gold grew in chunks, but when he had lead his trusting followers to the edge of the supposedly promised land, he deserted for the more hospita ble regions of civilization to the south. M. B. Beatty returned to Portland last fall, but Mr. Caldwell returned only a day or two ago and relates a somewhat harrowing tale of his wanderings in search of the precious metal. All of the members of tho party came out alive. F. W. Beatty was last reported at Nome and Mr. Clark at Nome. BIG PRICES FOR HOPS. The hop crop of the Pacific Northwest In 1902 will undoubtedly be the best for a number of years. Pacific Coast hops, during the last few years, have been in great demand In Eng lish and German markets and contracts for the present crop are being made at splendid figures. The best estimates do not give New York more than one-third of a crop this year and the English crop will not be nearly so great as In 1901. Favorable reports for a good crop come In from all parts of Oregon, Washington and California, and many hop-raisers have refused offers to contrat at 20 cent per pound. In the vicinity of North Yak ima a number are regretting their 1I'4 cent to 15-eent contracts, which were ex ecuted two weeks ago. PUGET SOUND LIVELY. B. F. Hedges, formerly agent of the Regulator line, returned yesterday from a month's visit to Seattle and other Sound points. Tn speaking of the con ditions prevalllnx there, he said: 'Business Is lively, particularly In Se attle. There are more transients in that city, I think, than at any other place I ever saw of its size. It is a continual bustle on the streets day and night. The lnterurban electric line Is going to help the business Interests of the Puget Sound metropolis materially. It will run from Tacoma to Seattle and will be m operation by September 1. It is now practically completed to the outskirts of the ratter city. All branches of business are In a propporous condition, and a bright future Is certainly In store for the Sound." UNITED STATES COURTS. In the United States Circuit Court to day the time to take testimony In the case of the Oregon A California Railroad Company vs. the Fanners' Loan & Trust Company was extended to December 31, 1902. In the matter of the bankruptcy of A. P. Haywarrts. order of adjudication and reference was made in the United States District Court today. Haywards' per sonal property Is valued at $288 and his liabilities are $874,10. LUMBER SHIPMENT. Almost 9,000.000 feet of lumber were shipped from the mouth of the Columbia during the month ending- today, a trifle over half of the amount going to foreign ports. The remainder went to supply the coastwise trade. Tha Volume of business for the month exceeds by far that of any other month In the history of the indus CHARTERS, ARE LOW But Grain Growers Will Not Profit Much by Them Since the German ship Peter Rickmers has been Chartered at 25 shillings to car ry wheat from Portland to the United Kingdom many believe that the rate has not yet fully reached rock bottom. Their opinion Is based on the fact that there are more diseDgaged ships now en route to various ports than ever known be fore. A year ago rates were about 42 shil lings, but when they got down to the i0 point owners were confident that they would not suffer a further decline, but nevertheless charters have been stead ily fajling. Now the question puzzling some people Js: Who Is going to profit by the decline, exporters or the grain growers? One prominent lnarino man has this to say on the subject: "The growers are always looking for low rates, but the fact remains that they never get the benefit of them. The ex porters are the only ones who will de rive any profits from the exlRtlnif con dition of the freight market. Last year they got Just about as much fur their wheat us they will get this year. If the price should be a few cents per bushel more for the new crop It will be due to other causes aside from low charters. "There is only one way by which the gralngrowers can profit by the prevailing rates and that is for them to sroup their Interests and charier their own vessels. Such a course Is entirely prac ticable.. Six or eipht ef the large grow ers 111 either Kunlerii Oregon or Wash ington could do this and make about as much money as they can tillliiB the soil. If they continue to follow their old methods of selling to the shipping firms in the cities the low charters will' never ; - r; "c'A'l beoattt to them. "It lw tough on vessel owners, but will prove a rich harvest for the exporters. The Indications are that they will lie able to secure tonnage at their own fig ures befors the season Is over, but if the grower begins hiiRKing himself with high anticipations he is going to get left." COURT NOTES. T. T. Struble, executor of the estate of Noah Lambert, deceased, has filed a re port showing receipts of $12,723.01, mid disbursements of IU.501.X9. There is a cash balance on hand of $1,221.15. Hannah E. Scoiflns, executrix of the estate of George R. Seoflins, deceased, has filed her final report, showing total receipts of $17,224.04, and uisbursem -nts the same, except cash on lurid, $1,.'0X The report was confirmed today. A cer tain portion of the income of the proper ty was set aside for the support of the widow of the deceased. Waldemar Seton was today appointed guardian of Arline Olsen, aged 10. only heir of O. Olsen, deceased. The appoint ment was necessary In order that a lot In Seliwood might be disposed of for the child's support. Mrs. Minnie McCall, widow of John McCall, deceased, has petitioned for let ters of administration of the estafe of her late husband. The hearing has been st for August 11. The property left is valued at $4,000. CITY & SUBURBAN RAILWAY The City 4 Suburban Railway Company Is busily engaged with a guns of men at the corner of Third and tlllsan streets in putting in seven-Inch groove girder rails along Third street. The foundation work of concrete will make a splendid roadbed, and when finished will certainly be approved of by the patrons of the line. One of the officials of the company, in speaking of the miniature railway and the excellent show it is giving Its pat rons at Mount Tabor, said today: "Wo are spending from $400 to $.",00 a week In getting up these programs, and be lieve that the public appreciates our ef forts. The cry has long been that there is no place to go to in Portland for amusement during the summer evenings. We are trying to fill the bill In a hum ble way, but the main thing Is to get people to take the ride to Mount Tabor over our line." A MONSTER TROUT. A Dolly Varden trout, one of the lar gest ever caught In this section of the country, Is on exhibition at H. T. Hud son's gun store on Third street. It was caught In the Clackamas river yetenlay by R. Wilson of Oregon City. The fish Is 35 inches long and weighs 12 pounds. It resembles the Eastern brook trout. Judge Greene, of this city. Is an author ity on the finny tribe and in speaking of this fish he said: "The original nam for It Is the Bull trout. Dolly Varden Is only a local name, although It Is beginning to be universal ly recognized. This one Is the largest of the kind I ever saw. They very seldom attain a greater length than 20 inches. They are scarce In the Willamette and Columbia, but are found In goodly quan tities In the McKenzie and Sacramento rivers. Some few are caught In the Lewis River. LARGE SALMON PACK. It Is believed that the Columbia River Salmon pack Will amount to 300,000 cases by the time the season closes August 15. Up to date the pack Is approximately placed at 190.000 cases. The runs are bet ter now than at any other period during the season. The price has fallen mater ially, having gone down to 4 cents the past week. But on account of the plen tiful supply of fish the fishermen are said to be making more money than they did when the price was six cents. About 5000 cases have been shipped East, ai well as 10,000 tierces of the Wh a Dollar Buys a Dollar's Worth of Goods is where the wise buyer likes to buy. We know it and we are very careful to so conduct our business that our reputation for that kind of dealing shall stand. We give no premiums or presents to induce trade.

We have but one inducement to offer, and we make that one so strong that there can be no mistaking its force. Our inducement is price inducement.
