BEING FITTED WITH
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
The steamer Lurllne, plying between
Portland and Astoria, is being fitted up
with a $2,000 electric light plant When
completed it will be one of the finest
plants that any of the steamers is
equipped with in the northwest. The
searchlight Is now being used. It has
a 2.000 candle-power capacity.- This is
Just twice the sise of the one with
which the steamer Hassalo is provided.
Heretofore she held first place in this re
spect. For a radius of almost a mile
the searchlight will illumine the dark
est. night so that objects within a reason
able distance become easily discernible.
The Lurllne runs during the night on
the return trip from Astoria, and the
Improvement will prove of vast benefit.

The Portland Library association has
Just completed the largest month's busi
ness in the history of the institution.
In- her January report to the library
board last night. Librarian Mary Fran
ces Isom presented figures that place
the first month of the present year far
In advance of all others. f
A .remarkable fact Is shown In that
the fiction percentage has fallen.- The
librarian attributes this to the issuance
of teachers' cards, wHlch allow instruc
tors to borrow books to aid them In their
work.- The library Is constantly -, in
creasing' the number of books on use
ful and practical subjects, and these are
eagerly sought.
The county work is reported as prom
ising. There are five' sub-stattpns now
In existence; three Gresham, Bridal
Veil" and Fairvlew were established
last year, and Corbett and "West Port
land last month. Corbett is under the
charge of W. H. II. , Reed, and West
Portland is conducted by J. O. Paup.
The report gives the total attendance
of the Portland library for the month
of January, 12,364; average daily at
tendance, 468. ' Total . circulation, tor
home use, 11,892; average dally circu
lation,, 486; largest daily circulation.

tion, 142; largest daily circulation, 291;
percentage of Action, 62. New members
registered, 162; total registration, 2,684.
Eight hundred and one volumes were
labeled and catalogued in the library
during the month,, bringing the total up
to 2-8,837. ' The pamphlets number 3,409.
"The " children's department," , said
Miss Isom. ''is In need of more books.
We have but 2,000 volumes for over
2,600 members." . ,
. At the meeting last evening the resig
nation of C E. 8. Wood as a member
of the board-waa accepted, and A. L.
Mills waa unanimously selected to fill
the vacancy. Mr. Wood retired on ac
count of 111 health. Other members of
the board are: C. A. Dolph, president;
M.W. Smith. treasurer; JW. B. Avers.
W. L. Brewster, Dr. T. L. Eliot, Mary
F. Failing, W. K. Smitn, W. M. Ladd
and C. E. Ladd.
"We Intend to install a checkroom in
the near future," said Miss - Isom,
"where persons visiting the library may
leave their coats and umbrellas free
of charge."
The Portland Library association has
been a' free institution -since March 10.
L10I. The fact that the library Is free
is something that a great many Fort-
landers are not aware of, on account of
the name, - and the librarian for this
reason remarked that ahe desires the
place to be referred to" as the .public
library when not, spoken of officially. -

For , the outward trip the Prentiss
win load with 400 cords of lire wood
If she runs Into the same kind of squall
she did coming up it is very probable
that the cargo will be swept overboard.
It wl)l be bulky and to lash the short
timbers together In such a manner aa
to resist the waves .will be a difficult
task to perform, so it la stated.
This will be the first cord wood ever
taken from the Columbia river to San
Francisco, and is more In the line of an
experiment than anything else. It is
figured that it can be laid down there
at 1 8 a cord. The wood will be shipped
by A. Toung of Oak Point, and the firm
to whom it . Will be consigned li the
Union Wood & Lumber company of San
FrancIscorThe "steamer" will go down
to Linnton today to take on fuel Oil
before proceedings ta Oak Point to re
ceive the wood.
, - .Still Going On.
The big cut In groceries at the New
Tork Grocery Co., corner Morrison and
Eleventh, is still In progress and will
last all this week. Mr. Hlnnenkamp
says the returns from his advertise
ment In Monday's Journal were greater
by far than he expected. Many things,
such as lard and apples, were sold out
by Tuesday night But the staple gro
cery articles, sucn as canned rruit, veg
etables, sugar, etc., he is atill prepared

morning. While the family were sleep
ing the thief searched the premises, but

.. Only a small amount of money was
stolen.. Between 316 and 317 was taken
from the pocket of Mr. Kan's trousers.
and the children's bank, containing $5
or 36, was looted. . Several valuable
pieces of silverware 'were found - in a
pile- on the dining room table. If is
supposed that the thief Intended to
carry these away, but forgot to stop for
them in his haste. ,
Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning
Mr. Kan heard rootfiteps on the ' front
porch. The noise was not repeated and
he paid no further attention to the in
cldent. Two hours later he beard a
noise In his bedroom o.n "the second
floor, lie yelled at the burglar, seized
a revolver, chased him out of the front
door and down the street.
- Returning to the house Mr. Kan
aroused the household. His trousers
were found in the frost hall and his
PQcketbook and money , were missing,
The silverware was net discovered on
the front table. .This morning the chil
dren's bank was discovered looted.

door was found broken, and It is sup
posed that the housebreaker cracked the
glass, inserted his arm and unlocked the
front door. - The house bore evidence of
a thorough and deliberate search.
- When the front hall was lighted Mr.
Kan's overcoat leas discovered propped
up on the last step of the stairs. It was
placed Jn a sitting posture and was evi
dently intended to represent a burglar.
The fellow tried to lob me," said Mr.
Kan today. "I suppose he thought that
I would take the object for a thug and
firs a shot or two Into It I saw what
It was and did not stp." .
Excitement reigned supreme In the
household last night When Mr. Kan
first saw the man in the room he yelled
to mm to get out. This awakened Mrs,
Kan, who thought that her husband was
having an . Unpleasant dream and at
tempted td pacify him. Mr. Kan in
sisted that he was not dreaming and
that he had seen a real live burglar.
Seizing a pistol he gave chase to the in
truder. .
Mr. Kan la unaole to describe the In
truder, but declares that he does not
live far from his residence. He was tall
and slim and was attired In a sweater.

MO TEST HASB TO COTHCtt.
Alleging that J. L. LInhardt, who has
applied for a saloon license 'on Union
avenue, between Falling and Savier
streets, was preparing to mortgage, the
family home to pay the -cost-of starting
the business. Dr. .Ella K. Dearborn and
other families in the vicinity have
signed a protest which they ask the
liquor license committee to consider.
The matter has stirred ud a neighbor
hood Quarrel that has reached rather
serious proportions, and the relatives of
Mr a. LInhardt, who deeded her the
home property at the time of her mar
rlage, are . strenuously fighting the
granting of the license, ' In part their
proteut recites:
"That safdT portlon of thecHy I in
habited almost exclusively as a resi
dence district and that the inhabitants
thereof ara families, mostly of me
chanlcs and persons who earn a 11 veil'
hood by dally labor or dally personal
service, and that said families are In
nearly, every case dependent for sup
port upon the dally earnings of the hus
band or father and that during the day
said district is Inhabited almost entirely
by women and children.
"That a saloon at said locality, if al
lowed to conduct Its business, must de
pend upon the patronage of .the heads
tf such families for existence and must
largely If not entirely live and exist
upon the earnings that by-right belong
to and ought to be spent for the sup
port of suoh families. ,
"That the police . protection is en
tirely Inadequate to propertly preserve
the peace in case of drunkenness certain
to- follow tho opening of a saloon, and
that the presence of a saloon and 'Con
sequent drunkenness would unavoidably
become a constant menace to the women
and children of said locality and to the
peace of the homes therein." '
Mrs. Dearborn s letter is as follows:
"To the Honorable Mayor and Com
mon Council QentlemeXi: In regard to
the remonstrance against the saloon,
please note this: The list la made up
of property : owners, taxpayers and
voters and not signed by children, aa al
leged by Mr. Linnardt, and the senti
ment in the Immediate neighborhood Is
strongly against a saloon. '
"Secondly, to start this saloon Mr.
LInhardt wishes to' mortgage his home.
which was given to his wife by her
parents at the time of her marriage, and
her people oppose such a proceeding and
have signed the remonstrance against
The mother begs with tears that this
license be not granted. . i. ',
"Third, the land adjacent to the pro
posed location of the saloon la owned by
women, Z consecutive reet in one
block, aud they object to the saloos
with all possible and positive energy.
"Trusting that our wishes in this
matter be not disregarded and that our
home may be protected, I am most sin
cerely. : 1 '
