The amendment to the sidewalk repair
ordinance which was passed at the last
Council meeting has caused some con
fusion and worry to local contractors,
owing to their neglect to Inform them
selves as to Its provisions. Many do
not know yet that the city law has been
changed and the first they become aware
of the fact Is when they go to the City
Engineer's office to secure a repair pec
mlt. The'amendment was passed on July 1,
but did not become effective until it was
signed by Mayor Williams on July 8.
In the meantime the former sidewalk
ordinance was effective and permits
were Issued under Its terms, which pro
vided that wooden sidewalks could be re
paired, where the cost of repairs did not
exceed one-sixth the cost of a new walk.
The amendment repealing that statute.
however, provides that no permits shall
be Issued where It Is required to re
place more than one-sixth of the flooring
surface. The cost does not enter Into
the arrangement at all, not even the
stringers or cross pieces allowing any
difference. It plainly states that such
repairs can be made up to the point of
replacing one-sixth of the planking sur
face.
Ignore Provisions.
A number of Jobs are now under way
n which this provision Is Ignored, but
as the permits had already been issued
and are good for JO days, It was decided
by City Engineer Elliott that the work
In such cases could be completed. Where
the work has not been started, though
and the permits were Issued after July i,
new permits will probably have to be
aecured.
The portion of the amendment of gen
eral Interest Is as follows:
An ordinance to amend section S of
ordinance No. 12862 as amended by ordi
nance No. 12170: The city of Portland
doe ordain as follows: Section 3:
I'pon the above described and designated
streets no wooden sldewalka shall be re
paired, reconstructed or altered to an
extent greater than replacing one-sixth
of the covering plank of the sidewalk to
each lot, and after a wooden sidewalk
has been once repaired either tinder the
terms of this ordinance, any former or
dinance of the city of Portland or
at all so that one-sixth of the covering
planks to each lot has been replaced,
then and In that event no further or
other repair or repairs shall be made
upon such sidewalk.

deputy had erred In making out the
alias writ, the blunder resulting In a
loss to the county of 1226. But the In
vestigation subsequently made by the
expert, Oeorge Black, brings to light
some slgnlflcent facts which put a very
different complexion upon the transac
tion and raise strong suspicion of will
ful and fraudulent falsification of the
tax records, for the purpose of afford
ing a pretext for the compromise de
sired. That portion of the expert's re
port now on file In the County Clerk's
office, which bears upon this matter. Is
as follows:
"The petition (of Edwin Shannon)
doea not claim any Irregu
larity in the assessment, and the orig
inal roll appears regular In every way.
also the Sheriff's return. In fact the
whole matter appears regulsr. In every
way. except on theeallas writ of March
16, 1899. whr It appeared for a tlm

of this Item I notlod that th elphwr

the assessment and sal now appear
regular throughout. I am at a loss' to
account for this proceeding, but It
serves to illustrate the method pursued
tn this office in regard to the cancella
tion of taxes."
The expert adds that "there is no
evidence on the petition that the mat
ter came regularly before the eommls
sloners. nor Is the commissioners' jour
nal signed by the County Judge."
Who Falsified th Bordt
The circumstances noted by the ex
pert seem to Indicate:
First That the record of the as
sessment. Including the alias writ, was
originally correct in every particular.
Second That subsequently to th
original entry on the alias writ It wa
falsified fey the alteration In the de
scrlptlon from "Block 6" to "Block 60,
a cipher having been added to the de
scrlptlon ft a first written, i, -
Third That between October, 1902

The conclusion seems Inevitable that
the first falsification of the tax record
was deliberately made in order to create
an apparent Irregularity and thereby
afford a pretext for asking the County
Court 4o remit the tax. It would oln
appear -1 ha t -theauthor of this Yraud if-

The attorneys for the county intend
to make a rlsrld Investigation In the
hope of discovering the Identity of

tion of the expert In the conclusion of
his report, that "It is generally known

with great reluctance.

Thornton, In company with hi wife,
went into Strain' place on Washington
street Thursday to purchase a suit of
clothe. He found just one set of gar
ment In the place that suited him and
after a great deal of dickering th suit
waa finally knocked down to him for
$10. Th garments were then tried on
a a final test a to their At and they
were pronounced satisfactory by th
purchaser.
"You will have to leave them with
us for a day or so that we can send
them to the tailor' to be pressed," a
salesman Is reported to have said. "I
will have them delivered to your resi
dence a soon a they are finished,"
The next day a bundle of clothe
were received at the Tnornton horn,
and Mr. Thornton began at once to ex
amine' the contents, a he sold that he
had read some article In Th Journal
about the dealings of the Strain outfit
and he wasn't going to be bunkoed If
he could help It.
The bundle was examined at due
length, but It wa found that the
clothes delivered were not the same
one that were purchased the delivered

"I won't believe that the suit were
Intentionally substituted," said th now

SOME GOOD ADVERTISING
For many years the Baltimore &
Ohio Rond has maintained a reputation
for novel and effective forms of adver
tising. This reputation certainly lose
nothing by the latest publication of the
company, "Book of tho Royal Blue."
While the work manages adroitly to
set forth the advantages of the Royal
Blue trains, it has a distinct value aside
from this. The contents are made up
of autograph, contribution from the
leading newspaper humorists of the
country, together with their truthful
biographies and photograph. They are
a funny 'lot "of fellows, and seem to
have been at their best when the. Balti
more & Ohio caught them.

WILD ANIMAL MYSTERY
"The forest has many mysteries,"
said an old woodsman, "but none deeper
than that of wild animals that die
ratural deaths. "
The four-footed dwellers of the woods
certainly do- not live forever, ge and
disease must carry them off regularly,
as human beings are carried off but
what becomes of their bod lest -.r
"J never heard of anyone's coming
across a wild dead bear or deer or wild
ct. or fox that had died from natural
causes. J found the carcass of a bt
flve-pronged buck Ui the woods once.
out a rattiesnaxe, aiao dead, had its
fsngs burled In one of th deer', nos
trils. There had evidently been a fight
to the death between the reptile and
th beast.
"Anothor tlm I followed th trail of
a bear from a clearing where It had
tolen a half-grown lamb. I cam upon
the headless body of th iamb a mils
or so out on the trail, and half a mil
farther on, near the edge of a swamp,
I was surprised to find the body of the
bsr.
"Its Jaws were open and Us glassy
eyes were pushed far out of its
head. I held a post-mostem examina
tion of the dead bear and found' the
lamb's head lodged In Its throat. How
or why th bear ver permitted It to get
there I am unable to explain. '
"I have many time found other dead
animals in the woods, but never on
that did- not show -unquestionable evi
dence of having died from violence of
om kind. Every woodsman will tell
you th earn. Whst become of t
dead animals that die natural death
