'Ob, yes," she said, 'the box arrived -and I put It on mymantle,' -This- is- -queer- place to put a box of oranges, I thought, -so I looked it up and found the box to be about 4x6 In dimensions and after being opened was found to contain' eight llttla oranges or Kunquot ' They were about the size of 'a small plum and were to be eaten rind and all. The Kunquot Is a native of China and is packed in moss to preserve Us flavor. It is called the golden orange in Japan."

By this plan the resolutions of intentions to improve will leave out the specified kind of pave ment and there will be no restrictions as to bidding. "This Is the plan adopted in Seattle and other large cities," stated the city auditor, "and it has given general satis faction. The councllmen were quick to see the advantages that it possessed snd the executive board has also manifested Its pleasure at the proposition, I be lieve we can secure better results by widening the field of competition." 1 Some discussion was given ' to the proposition -of improving thoroughfares to and from the site of the Lewis and Clark fair. It Is desired to have hard surface streets for the traffic that will follpw. preferably one street -leading to the grounds from the business district and one returning. Full Measure House.

The union OH company's figures were' 95 cents a barrel for supplying the fuel .for one year or 90 cents if given a three years' contract.' The matter of awarding the contract was referred to a committee which will report at the next meeting.

A communication was read from Rob ert Mcintosh, superintendent of the dry- dock, relative to the investigations he Is making In the operation of drydocks In New York. . A telegram was ' for warded, Instructing him to inquire thor oughly Into the manner In which- east ern drydocks are handled. Additional funds were wired him. Mr. Mcintosh will probably remain In the east about 10 days longer. Several Inquiries were received as to the capacity of the drydock, and when It will be ready for operation.-- Among those asking for information on the subject were French Consul Labbe and M. C. Harrison & Co., marine brokers. The clerk was instructed to supply them with the desired Information.

It was decided to refer the matter to Major Langntt. The clerk was authorized to advertise for bids on $215.000 . worth of drydock bonds,- the bids to be opened on March 24.

After more than a month of strug gling with the customs laws the Kilties band will appear in Its new uniforms in Portland. Its tunics bought in Glasgow paid the preferential -duty which Canada levies against Imports from England. amounting in this case to 1 47. Cross ing the line at Sault de Ste. Marie with their uniforms on their backs the mem bers of the band were arrested as smug glers. . . 'i.v George W. Griflltlv owner of the band, who is In Portland,' today said: - "Those new, tunics have coBt to date just $75 9. Their actual value is about $6 apiece. For 40 men that makes (240. The Canadian duty, is $47 and we had to pay $472 to the United States gov ernment as duty, so that the customs offices have collected a little more than twice the value of the red coats In rev enue taxes. -.;-v,-.', "We claim , exemption 1 from duty on the ground that ' the coats are part of the men's personal clothing. 'We couldn't buy them In Canada or the United States because nobody but a L Glasgow regalia maker can turn out a "historically cor rect Gordon tunic. The military Scotch men everywhere were laughing because We pretended to wear the Gordon High landers' dress, ; and had blue . cuffs in stead of yellow for the tunics. "By the way, our band will be the first from Canada to visit England, al though we have with us four Dundee dancers and a piper who has played be fore Queen Victoria."
