A force of men have been sent out by J he City & Suburban Company to clear the right of way recently secured by the company for the end of the 8t. Johns line. The line will be the same as at present to Northern Hill and from there It will make a straight run for St. Johns Instead of running about half a mile to the East and then turning to the West. The work of grading will be be gun as soon as the right of way in cleared.

Lots of Bad Roadways. The number 'of roadways on the East Side- of the river that are nearly im passible is Increasing rapidly. Some or the streets are In such a bad shape, that although they are not closed to public traffic by the City Engineer, It is about as much as the springs of a vehicle are worth to' travel over them. Grand Avenue from East Morrison to East Clay streets is In such a dilapidat ed condition that it is avoided by all teamsters who do - not have to comu down that( roadway. Some of the planks which formerly adorned the street have disappeared altogether. Numerous com plaints have been made by business men on the street, but the property ownttrs refuse to budge. North Union avenue from Russell street to a polnt about half a mile South Is in the same condition as Grand av enue. Although there is not as many planks missing on Union avenue, still those that, ar left are without nails to hplil them down. rom East First street to Union av enue, East Morrison street is In a very dangerous condition and being the only outlet to the crowded Morrison street bridge. Is constantly covered with heavy teams of alt kinds under which It sways from side to tide. Teamsters say' that if they' could travel over ariy other bridge that they Would leave East Morrison Street severely alone. Ftrn With Cannery: Horse.

On the way over the colt kicked SO. hard about leav Ing his former happy home where the future meant lots of sausage, and re belled.

OTHER SIDE The Gty Employes Tell Their Story PLAN WITH CHASE Reductions of Salaries Not Contem platedTemporary Relief -Asked For. Present arid former employes of the city, namely, JV-V. Brown, George F. Hodman, William Brad eh, A. M. Shan no and R. Reuter, were greatly Inter ested In that which appeared In yester day's Journal relative to. the suits for back salaries these gentlemen have brought against the city. The Ave men mentioned, through their counsel, J. M. Lang, recently sued the municipality for 115 per month back pay each, for a period of 2d months, amount ing to $390 each, and totaling H.9.V), which with legal interest added now amounts to $2,641.60. These facts were related in The Journal at the time the suit was brought, and yesterday's paper Intimat ed that unless the suits were dropped the Board of Public Works might con clude to greatly reduce the salaries of the employes of the City Engineer's office. MEETING HELD. , The men who brought the suits last evening held s meeting at which it was decided that the public has a right to know the true story leading up to the actions instituted for the collection. STORY OF THE CLAIMS. City Engineer Chase, they say, assum ed office July 1, 1894, and retired -from his ofliclal station June 30, 1903. Ons or two days after coming into office he said to us, "Boys, there is a request from the City Council that" the expenses of this office be eased up for a short time. Can you. not get along on $85 per month instead of $100 for a while llAt II the city's funds are In such shape that your $100 per month can be restored from funds that will be available later onT This is In- ho sense" a -reduction of pay, but merely a temporary easement. Your back salaries will be paid. so soon as the funds are. In condition." ,., . j . - 'These may not be exactly the- words employed.! Mr.. Chase, but are the sub stance 4f.hjsremaxks... . , , CHERFULLT ACljurESCED. "We cheerfuly acquiesced, as a favor to the city, being assured that the suspen sion of payment of the other $16 per month would not be prolonged beyond the time actually necessary to recuperate the city's financial condition. "Bat time went on, and we heard nothing about resuming our former sal aries of $100 per month, as provided for in ordinance 7160. When We Jagged the memory of our- superior, he put Us off on one pretext or another until after his last election when he put our tlm In at the old schedule of $100 per month, and we have been paid that sum each month since. At one time Mr. Chase would say: i Npw, just wait boys, a little while, and U will be all right.' At another, Wait, until .after, the first of the year, then when springtime-came, "Now I am a candidate for -leatoni Just wait until that Is over i i. t CAME AT LAST, "So' we waited for 26 months, and fin ally Mr. Chase redeemed his promise. "All we ask n6w Is that the city make a-ood the deficiency in our salaries, as was agreed would be. done, and the prlv ilege of stating our cases to the Board of Public Works, as one gentleman would state his grievance to an other. What we most object to Is the thought conveyed in articles published concerning us and our action In the matter, that we desire to In any wise at tempt to intimidate the city into paying us anything or any sum of money not rightfully belonging to us. NEVER AGREED. "We never agreed to accept $ per month In full satisfaction of our claims for wages. AN HONEST DEBT. "The city honestly owes us the money claimed, and we cannot conceive of the honorable gentlemen comprising the Board of Public Works taking offense at our efforts to collect tnat wnicn was promised us. Is due us, and of right be longs to us." While holding the office of City At torney, Mr. Long gave a written opinion to the Council Judiciary Committee that the claims of these employes of the city were just and should be paid. It is be lieved the matter may be settled through tho Board of Public Works without greater cost to the city.

A Wahington,-street business man whose gootfa are "all wool," has the habit of "Jotlyir-g" the central girl every time he uses the telephone. A lew days ago he called up his home and before he had n chance to tell "central" how glad he was that he still lives and what a pretty girl she Is and a few other endearing things, she had him connected with home end his wife was at the other end of the line. He thought It was the central' gin and unloaded a long string of the sweet ness and honey of youth. That night when-he went home his wife Jokingly recited om of the sweetest points snrl in withering tones told him vhe was awfully .plOMsed he thought her so nice. Ho Is now trying to figure out how it all happened; but it took a fin pew hat to make home look brighter. ., The Hearse Scared Aim. A traveling man from Chicago, told at the Hotel Portland a tale of an unusual experience the other day, when he util ized a hearse to ride from Gervals to Amity, down the Southern Pacific road close to Portland, lie needed to make the -latter town In" a hurry, and was un able to hire anyone to haul him and his trunks.

Somewhere in the world are 118,000,000 big copper pennies. What has become of them Is a -mystery, jfor, barring a few in the hands of collectors, they have disappeared, no one knows where. Many years ago the government is sued, 4.600,000 bronze two-cent pieces, an of those over 3,000,000 are still outstand ing. The same Is true of the nlcket three-cent pieces, of which nearly 2,000, 000 are unaccounted for. Slot machines have greatly Increased the demand for coppers and so also have the penny newspapers and the odd prices Hiccough and It's Cure. There is a little nerve in your body called the phrenic nerve. It la exceedingly mercurial in tempera ment and when excited leads you in a merry chase popularly known as hic coughs. To be exact, hiccough Is a spasmodic situation resulting from an affection of the phrenlo nerve, which nerve looses the diaphragm. Wiien Simon says "thumbs up," up goes your diaphragm. Also con. trariwlse. When the diaphragm con tracts the vocal cords go on a sympa thetic strike hence the Jerk. When this happens you are no longer captain of your vessel. The second mate pharenlo Is on deck giving orders. The wavis are choppy. Hiccough, the scientists tell us. Is fre quently caused by eating too much, , but there are many conditions of the stom ach that may produce it. For Instance, there Is the man who (lilc) "Is as sober (hie) as any (bio) man in this town (hlc)." There is an emeute In this man's stomach. It has declared that Jt is, and of a right ought to be, a free and independent state. It has re belled against the tyranny of booze. - The hiccough of the boozer is the pre liminary skirmish to the battle when, without the eld or consent of any other nation, Tt turns the rascal out.' The cures for hiccough are many. One physician advises the drinking of nine swallows -of water. Nine Is a sacred number to the- stomach Meantime, ps says, concentrate" your mind on some, thing else.

In receiving back after two years a coin, he had formerly paid out. Several years ago, he had a trade dollar coined in 1877. and which had been hollowed out, another dollar of the same kind being used to make a cover,- the tpleoe containing within a .miniature Of his little daughter, then beautiful girl of about 12 years of ag.

He dodged behind and on the opposite side of his companion until the fair one was passed. ''Why did you wish to avoid meeting such' a pretty girl as that?" inquired his friend. "It is this way," he replied. I only have half an hour to while away. Then i" have an appointment which I muit keep. That girl talks tod long.' i I- . Experience Proved It.

The life of a cent IS onjy four 01 five years. Cents are subject to more accidents than any other coins. Being of euqli small value, little care is taken of them, and that is why the treasury has to go on. turning out new ones at the rate of. 60,000.000 to 80,000,000 a year.

At the start the wind was quite-brisk, but -soon freshened into a gale, and caused the little craft they were In -to toss, and roll in a manner that soon caused the lawyer's features to twist into expressive contortions.
