Hart, quartermaster of the Seventeenth Infantry, has advertised for bids to clear the woods In the rear of the officers quarters for a apace of 400 by 1,180 yards of all the underbrush, and general litter. The general clearance , will be mads on account of the dancer from fire, which is very great, especially In the summer and fall. The dlmoulty experienced tnls sum ; mer in keeping the fire out of the reser vat ton decided the Oeneral to have enough of the undergrowth cleared to protect the officers' quarters, which would be con , atimed If the woods caught nre.

Tuesday afternoon Miss Smith, princi pal of that school, explained to the pupils why Thanksgiving Day Is observed ana how It Is done. She then told the child ren how they could make the poor happy for one day at least by each of them bringing a email donation. On Wedm day (Homing every child came with some article of food. Some had brought a sin. gle apple or potato or a pumpkin, while others brought enough for a meal. Be sides the above mentioned there were squashes, onions, cabbages, preserved fruits, meats, including chicken, cakes, pies and many other good things which, when put together, made a wagon load. After school the supplies were distributed to every poor family mentioned.

That something will soon be done rela tive to the condition 'rt which Portland finds itself with regard to Impure milk and Infected meat being sold, was evi dent by the expressions of two members of the common council this morning. Councilman C. E. Rumelln, speaking of the matter, said: 'I believe that all should be done than can, which will tend to make food stuffs pure. There is. and always has been, a tendency to adul terate milk especially,. , Unscrupulous Jealera will do anything to Increase the profits on their , products. Those things we eat should by all means be free from any ingredient foreign to it 'Milk 4a fed to babies, and the least impurity placed there by the man who sella that mll't Is a crime. I am very earnest on such mat ters and will do all I can to corrfCt the evils that I believe to exlet,'.' Mr. Rumelln was asked if the Mulkey milk ordinance could sot be brought up In the common council and be recon sidered. "1 was not in the old council." replied Mr. Rumelln, "and am not familiar with the document. However, as it Is still alive I believe It might be well to bring the subject up. I will look Into the mat' ter and ee what can be done.'" FLEOEL ALSO APPROVE8. Councilman Flegel said that a meat Inspector and a milk Inspector would be valuable adjuncts to the health depart ment . Mr. FJegei said:' "The dairies about Portland are In a filthy condition. If you knew the exact condition you would swear off drinking milk. 80 - bad do I know their condition to be that I keep my own cow and for no other reason." "Do you think, Mr. Flegel, that a City milk Inspector could correct the evils, and that a meat Inspector could stop the sale of diseased meat In and about the cltyT" "Yes, to a great extent, I do," replied the councilman. "The milk inpeotor would be compelled to travel out to the dairies and the meat Inspectors might have to visit places In the country where beef Is cut up for Portland trade. But that Is what inspectors do In other cities, I understand, and It Is a good plan." Mr. Flegel concluded by saying that he would Investigate the matter and deter mine what is best to do. rSBE PACKED HER BUDS; . A divorce was granted M. F.

St. The Lewis and Clark Kx position Is being discussed more and more In this c(jfy, and the project Is gain ing friends rapidly, with the prospect that when the time comes for legislative action on the Appropriation desired by the exposition authorities there will be strong support from Salem for a liberal appropriation for ..- the big fair. The amount asked for, $600,000, is by many considered very-reasonable, and among those studying the question carefully the opinion galna ground, that even a larger appropriation could, be jnode with profit to the state. The friends of the exposition, among whom there are many who visited the big expositions In the East during the past ten years, recognisw the great Importance of the exposition to the Northwest and especially to OregxtfV'gnd thera en thuslaatki ln ita invar. They hold that lithe big fair wl! --bring thousands of de- ample capital o Jtelp' develop the wonder ful resources of. this- great section of ter ritory, which at present is so little known and appreciated throughout the Eastern half of the United States; that It will attract the attention . 01 men of 'means to the wonderful-possibilities of this sec tion of the country, and to the great future In store for it as a result of the opening of the Oriental trade, and with the publicity that will fciven the great exposition provided!

IN LINE FOR - r - - r . - 9 porters, and they point out the fact that many states, among them New York and New Jersey, pay nearly all their expenses of the state government with the receipts from these, sources. This manner of rais ing funds would doubtless be a popular one, but It, too, would .take time, and the exposition would have to lose val uable time before the money for It could be made available. " A goodly number advocates a far dif ferent plan, one which at first will not be popular, but which appears to accom plish the desired end in the shortest pos sible time and quick action, it Is urged, is necessary in order to have the expo sition ready by 1!05. The proposition is that the Legislature provide for the floating of a popular loan of $500,000, or $750,000, If that amount should be found to be required to make the fair an ab I solute success. A state debt Is, of oursr, . repugnant to most Oregonlans, since this ' state has for so long held the proud rec ord of being out of debt that the people have come to believe that It could not be otherwise. But the friends of the proposition hold that it Is the only way to quickly and surely provide the neces sary funds, so that the work of prepar 1 Ing for the holding of a big fair may be I commenced at once. Their plan Is to 1 float a popular loan similar to the great i war loan of the Federal government. made during the Spanish-American con flict of a few years ago. THE PLAN FAVORED. The plan mentioned is especially fav ored in this city because It has already been tried here In refunding the city debt, and the Indebtedness of the school district, -at a great saving in interest, and with the result that the Interest pay ments are made to local people. The ad vocates of this manner of providing a good working capital for the exposition In the least possible time want a popular loan placed, under sanction of the Legis lature, the bonds to bear no more than 3 per cent, in t ere t nd payable In five or ten years, with tea option to be re served by the state to pay any time be fore maturity when funds arc available, the bonds to be exempt from taxation. Two per cent, bopds, it is claimed, Issued n small denominations, t exempt from taxation, would be tuket. up quickly and readily by capitalists und people of small means within the state, and the pro ceeds would be at once available for the purpose of beginning the work of prepa ration for the exposition: the raising of the amount required could be distributed fiver a number Of years, and would na? be a heavy burden on the taxpayers; the Interest rate would be so low as to make the cost so little that It 'wouM be more than balanced by the advantages secured In giving the exposition a good start, and making-It a really valuable and impor-" tnnt factor In assisting In the prompt de velopment of the great resources of the state.

"If we only lived In the city!" walled a bright young girl, "I could cam pin money by table decorating. We country girls are a decided disadvantage as com pared with the residents of the towns in the ways und means of making money." This same girl set her wits to work, however, and in a few months was carry ing on a brisk business at many big houses In the city. She had noticed that the florists never supply greenery of iny kind with the flowers they sell to custo mers. Having- obtained consent to sup ply the shopmen with the sime, she set to work to gather wild grasses, ivy, long sprays of periwinkle from her country garden, or the delicate fern sprays from her greenhouse. In the autumn sprays of blackberry leaves and fruit, witfr Vir ginia creeper and bunches of mountain ash berries, came in useful. The pay for these was trifling, but the florist recom mended her as a table decorator. She supplied her own greenery on these oc casions and charged merely for the Ijow r and "her time. This gave her a dis tinct advantage - over utlier girls plying the same trade as herself, her work In time becoming fairly remunerative. Another country girl, left penniless on the death of her father, had but one strong point, her horsemanship. She se cured employment from one or twofiigh class horse dealers. Her duties consisted of dally exercising the women's hacks. pultUir them through their paces, jump ing, riding to hounds, etc. By these means she earned a fair salary, coupled with a percentage on every horse she sold. Girl cyclists could collect and deliver letters at the farmhouses. Then there Is poultry rearing, bee keeping and tomato growing, all of which vocations may be madet fairly lucrative by the energetic girl. Atlanta Journal. QUICKEST EAST. The time; of the 0.

(Cleveland Plalndealer.) There Is likely to be a renewal of the complaint In Europe that the stork is lacking In discrimination. The Russian people have long nourished against the Czarina what Is practically a grievance simply because that unfortunate lady has failed to give an heir to the throne. When the Queen of Italy, In June, 1901, became the mother of a daughter the Italian press and people did not hide their disappointment. This feeling will be heightened by the birth yesterday of Miotlier girl, baby, to. Italy's royal couple, ' Jt must be- confessed that the little stranger's arrival muy add to the embar rassments of royal matchmakers oK the future If the -rulu be adhered to on the continent that members of royal families shall find mates' among those born In the. Bume high place and of the same relig ious faith. Bmperor William's large fam ily and King Kdward's present and pros pective grandchildren can choose part ners from among the kingdoms of North ern Kurope and the many Rmaller Ger man states, even if In the case of the latter their sovereignty has been practi cally extinguished. The Csar's daughters are too liable to be sacrificed to Musco vite ambition In Southeastern Europe. The matrimonial outlook for royal chil dren of Southern Europe la more dubious. The barrier of religious faith confines them within a narrow Held of choWe. I'nless this barrier be overstepped single blessedness is likely to he the lot of many a rflya.1 youth and maid of Spain. Italy, Austria and South Germany. It Is true that for matrimonial . purpeftss Rd iwr it polite fiction royal place has been ac corded the many branches of the dis crowned and discredited Bourbons, ami the somewhat absurd Bonapartlsts, though the latter have never been,, re ceived as the real equals of the "old fam ilies." ' H Is not pleasant for Americans to con sider babies in their cradles as mere pawns In the game of politics. Royal pa rents no less than others more humble must often cry out against such a sac rifice of their children even when, as has been and may be again, the sacrifice of their thrones Is the only alternative. METEORS. How great Is the chance that any given chain of meteors circling around the pun will cross the orbit of the earth and so give notice of their existence? To give answer it must be remembered that these intrusive bodies come Into space from every direction, and that the earth de scribes a circle having a diameter of. in round figures, lio.OOO.WO miles, and mov ing upon an invariable plane. Into an Imaginary sphere of this diameter, then, plunges the meteor having Its perihelion within the earth's orbit. How remote the chance that it. w ill cross a slender definite line only 8.800 miles across as It makes Its plunge Into the neighborhood of the sun! The line is more slender than an inch rope surrounding a globe a third of a mile in diameter. Yet remote as the ehnnce appears not less than 60 radiant points have been determined where these steady-flowing meteor streams are an nually encountered. The total number must be Inconceivably vast. . Some of the comets which visit the sun have orbits 'which require that' they ' oc cupy 50,000 years falling downward "tow ard the. sun, and what applies to comets applies equally to meteors. Yet if the 50,000 years that they are falling steadily down so little is the latent? movement due to original Impulse that they pass barely outside the atmosphere of the sun or, In other words, this movement was not greater than 10 miles a year! The In ference must be that many of these wan derers of the sky mast have been-on their travels for not only millions but thous ands of millions of years. 'I saw a me teor just now," quietly remarks a deni zen of the earth as the Journey of a thousund million years is , finished for ever. New York Commercial. Advertiser.
