DUE TO "RUBBERNECKING."
' (Chicago Tribune. )
, Five, women a day, according to the
- police reports, are hurt in the shopping
' district by street cars or other vehicles
running into them. Some of the cases
are serious, and demand the removal of
. the injured persons to a hospital or their
;, homes. The great majority of these ac
,. ddents, crossing policemen declare, are
-,. due to what is vulgarly railed "rubber
, necking." .
. "Nine women out of 10 who are hurt
v. by., street cara or . vehicles drawn by
.horses have only themselves to blame."
said an officer who for several years
' had guarded a State street crossing. "I

NO CONNOISSEURS.
"I never have met among women a con
noisseur or extensive collector of rare
old books, or even of hew ones. And
there are fewer men among the younger
generation collecting today than there
were a decade ago. Yet hundreds of
books are published noij tor every 30 of
an curlier period.
"Collections of clippings from newspa
pers and magasines are . Increasing In
popularity and yet they are almost worth
less from a dealer's viewpoint, for the
strange reason that no two human beings

There are a few exceptions. ..Clippings

bureau usually have a. degree of popu

QfTEER COLLECTIONS.
"But collectors seem to have so much
grotesque -originality and so ma,ny idiosyn
crasies. T.here is a prominent New York
man not a crank whose humor it Is to
collect everything printed that he can find
oi the frailties of clergymen. He fumblas

here every week and has catalogued the
fruits of his vigilance under ethical heads.
Each offense It placed beneath the moral
or civil law that it breaks. Another man
left two large collections On suicide and

But the most cherished clippings never

the malicious thief who broke tha show
window of th store of the Moysr Clott

Janitor Taylor of ths Courthouss sayg
that he saw an elderly man acting in a
suspicious manner near tbe scene of ths
robbery yestei'day morning, 'He h de
scribed the suspicious character to the
city detectives and-they are now looking

The Moysr Clothing Company made an
offer to give away $2,000 in cash, in J10
prizes, to purchasers 6f " clothing. ' Two
hundred and fifty dollars of the money
was placed in the show window and at
tracted much attention, and must have
aroused the avarice of the thief, Bonne

a prior occasion 220 was taken from the

Mr. Ben Belling takes his loss Very phi

If the thief would only return ha would
give him the remaining 15. although, of
course, he would prefer to, keep the sum
as a sort of final prize for a customer.
The damage to the window Involves a
considerable sum, and with the loss of

decided not to disappoint its patrons, and

Dr. Zahm enjoys a -world-wide reputa

was a delegate to Brussels, where he was
called to deliver paper on geology and
ather eminently scholarly subjects. In

familiar with all the capital of Europe,
and enjoys the acquaintance of their most
noted men. t .
"I came tft Portland." said Dr. Zahm,
"to ascertain just What Is needed for the
advancement of Columbia I'nlverslty. I
have In mind the establishment of a great
school of learning; .-ter- that Institution.
There shall be a law school, and I want
to see a school of medicine, of electricity,
mining and civil' engineering. In fact, I
desire to establish a -curriculum for the
university that, will equal some of our
largest schools of learning. The time is

recently received orders to Journey to
France, and consequently I will be com

A MESSAGE FROM

Carpstttgrs and other tabortni mam art
strong in their denunciations of what
they are pleased to term ths lumbering
trust which was affected In this city on
August 1. They claim that It is retard
ing building operations by tha exorbitant
prices which arc charged for building ma
terial. .They have figures to support their
assertions, which were copied from the
price lists, before and after the combine
was formed. A few of them are as fol

For special orders an additional charge

the new srsngement the rate has been
raised to S3 per thousand. Formerly for
all lumber over 12 Inches in width an ex
tra charge of tl was made, but now the
sum of $3 has been added, Ail flooring
has gone op 50 per cent, and all along
the line, prices have raised proportion
ately. Prior- to the organisation of the com
bine -it was possible for a prospective
builder to go to any of the mills and pur
chase lumber. Since then, however, the
only place where an order for lumber
can be procured in Portland is at the of
fice of the City Retail Lumber Company,
which Is the central body of the associa
tion, and where the published price list
is consistently adhered to.
- WHT LUMBER RAISED. '
Carpenters assert that the high prices
which obtain are directly traceable to
the Building Trades' strike here "during
the summer. The men lost, but in order
to hoodwink the public the lumber deal
ers claimed that strike are expensive,
and that prices would have to be ad
vanced. Had the strikers won and been
given a smalt raise In wages the, men be
lieve that lumber would -have ' gone to
such a llgure to make It simply be
yond the reach of those who are In ordi
nary circumstances financially. Aa it is,
many contend that lumber can be pur
chased more cheaply on Puget Sound,
after all freight charges are paid, than
It can be had for here.
STILL ANOTHER MENTIONED.
"I believe that Judge W. R. Ellis of
Pendleton Is the logical candidate for th
United States Senatorshlp," said Col. J.
H. Pafey of Pendleton to The Journal
last night at the Imperial Hotel. "Of
course, Judge Ellis cannot be a candidate,
for the reason that he Is a faithful friend
of Mitchell, Hlrsch and Fulton. But I be
lieve he Is not only the logical candidate,

Judge of the Sixth Judicial District, com
prising Umatilla and Morjow Counties,
two years ago, succeeding Judge S. A.
Lowell. He now. lives in Pendleton.

friends that he is the logical candidate
