GTY HALL JAIL Councilmen Go on Record as Favoring Establish ment of Jail and Police Headquarters in City Hall Committee to Investigate The suggestion made by Councilman A. JC Bentley that the city Jail, police atatlon and municipal court be Installed Jln the city hall la favored by a majority of the city council, and at the regular meeting: tomorrow It is probable that a resolution will be introduced calling for the appointment by Mayor Williams of a committee to investigate the propo sition and report back to the council. The questlona of room, cost of installa tion and various other matters will be Include In the work of the committee. If one Is appointed. These are the matter the councilmen desire to have placed before them before voting on the question of the proposed change. The councilmen have given the fol lowing Interviews on the matter: A. K. Bentley I am heartily In favor of the. move. Having investigated for myself, I know It is practicable, per fectly feasible and will save a large sum of money to the taxpayer. I would welcome an Investigation by a commu te of the council, and that at once." L. Zimmerman I would support a resolution for the appointment of a com mlttee to investigate the matter, should one be Introduced. If there is plenty of .room In the city hall. I favor the plan. H. K. Albee It Is worth a thorough investigation. I see points in its favor, and some against it D. T. Slierrett It strikes me that the city ball la the proper place for the po lice station and city jail, and I Iv vor it. C E. Kumelin I have not given the matter much thought, but would support absolution for an Investigation as to the feasibility of the plan. ; B. D. Blgler It is a matter of great importance. I have not studied it much, but surely an Investigation of the plan by a committee could result In nothing but good. X would be glad to give 'my support to a resolution, should one bf introduced, to have the plan investi gated. F. T. MerrillI do not think it a good plan. A. V. Flegel I am absolutely opposed to it The old Jail ought to be repaired to last for a long time yet. I do not fa vor Jails with borne comforts for the hoboes. ... v. 1 " 4 ' ' : 3. P. Sharkey I- am in favor of the plan, although I do not set myself up as an authority on municipal economy, 1 think It is all right , Matt Foeller I have' not looked into the matter yet enough to make any statement, but Will thoroughly investi gate it. . ' . -. -- , 'J' Sanford" Whiting I favor moving the city Jail and the police station to the city hall. It would save money, , and would be convenient In many ways. It could be made perfectly sanitary, too. There Is no need far offensive odors to permeate the hall building. : "The idea that the city JaII cannot be installed at the city hall without conlamluatlng the whole building' Is all THIRTEENTH IS POPULAR STREET BOBTHEBB FOBTXOW OB, TSAT THOBOUGHTABB X BEHTO QUI; ETX.Y BOUOHT XTP ABB X.ABOB f WABEH0T7SES WIIA BB BTJTLT BOVE& 8ITJETBACX. rot," said Dr. Sanford Whiting, recently elected to the council In the place of thk late Councilman Cardwell. Mr. Whiting Is a member of the council committee on health and police and 1 expert on sanitary matters. .' "There Is no reason why the city Jail cannot be kept in a clean,' sanitary con dition," continued Mr. Whiting. "In a large number of eastern cities they do it, and it can be done here Just as well. I am In favor of putting the police and city Jail in the.city hall, and aa far as sanitary matters are concerned, al most perfect ventilation can be had there, and no odor at all need arise to Injure the building, or to offend the oc cupants: "The present city JaU has -been de clared by . one and all to be the worst In existence, perhaps, and it is only when people think of a place such as we have at . present that they shudder to think of the jail In connection with the city halL - But this is needless. The trou ble with the present Jail is that It has never been kept in condition for health. The prisoners do not have to bathe, and, what is worse, there, is no place where thoae who would can. take baths. In a modern Jail, prisoners are required to take shower baths, and all the con ditions prevailing are sanitary. In such a jail as this, no odor would arise. "The police station and city Jail In St Tsui, as well as the county Jail, are located at the city hall, and there Is hardly a better kept Institution in the country than the St Paul city hall." ' "I have not made as careful a study of the matter as I should like to before making an extended statement," said Councilman B. D, Blgler. "but It most certainly is a matter worthy of thor ough consideration, and I would be heartily In favor of a committee to In vestigate it and report to the council. The question of cost room and all those things should be first known to the council, so that the members would know at the outset what to figure on." ; phots' roioxxB.

North Thirteenth street from Glisan to Ldvejoy street Is being quietly bought up .by large business Interests of this city, and it is the intention to make that section. the warehouse district A project is now under way to run an alley through the center of the block through the whole dstrict, and lay a sidetrack to connect with the terminal company's property. If this was done It would be much easier for the ware house-owners to load or unload : their goods. under the new system, if a car was not completed by the time the day was over, the doors of the ware house could be shut and the car with Its contents safely kept. . Of late there have been quite a large number of warehouses constructed in the district, and several large, build ings to coat between $20,000and $30,- 000 are contemplated. The Modern Candy company, which Is owned by Chicago parties, is erect ing a large warehouse on the corner of Thirteenth and Hoyt streets which will cost $16,000. The building is owned by Joseph Teal, and was leased to the candy company for a long term of years. ' The brickwork on the struc ture has been rushed along all through the rutny season, and the entire work of that character la now about com. pleted and ready for the roof. The company will have the most modern machinery to be found on the Pacific Coast It will cost about $25,000 and is now on the way here from Chi cago. The company will do strictly a shipping business, and a sidetrack to connect it with the terminal grounds will be in" readiness for the opening of me xaciory. - -": Loewenberg & Going have about per fected their plans for the construction of a large warehouse 100x100 feet on North Thirteenth street between Hoyt and Irving streets. The building will cost in the neighborhood of $26,000. Harmon . & Co., wholesale furniture dealers, are negotiating for some prop erty on the name-street, and Intend to construct a large warehouse at about the same cost. . HUNDREDS. AIDED IN TWO MONTHS According to a published .report by captain Anderson, the -volunteers of America, during the months of January ana eoruary just pasi. aistriDutea trom their hall the fallowing articles: To women. 4,88 pieces of wearing apparel to women and children, 89 pairs of shoes, 81 pairs of stockings; to men. u overcoats, i sir coats, z trousers, 285 vests, 230 pairs of shoes, I3S suits of underwear, 281 overshlrts, 95 pairs of socks, 257 meals and 190 lodgings. Nine poor families who had no house keeping furniture were provided with a cooking stove and varmus needed uten sils. Their house "rent was paid and provisions given tlfem. t -- The above articles were all donated, but to distribute them express wagons were needed, and 'owing to the urgent need in many case' the express bills were, paid out of the individual funds of the captain and his workers. To re cover a portion at least of this expense the Volunteers have issued an appeal. The total deficit is $200, part of which wae caused by the improving of the Volunteers' quarters, the old rooms prov ing too small to care for the Increasing demands made by the poor. . CONSIDER REPAIR OF POWELL STREET Fowell street residents, between East Twenty-first and Milwaukle, will meet in Blanck's hall Saturday evening: to review the cost of replanking the street between these points. An estimate of the cost was made by the city engineer's office last year and' the figures reached $8,145, which looked none too low to the people who had to pay. The explana tion is made by contractors that the es timate was made Including sidewalks, elevated way over Brooklyn creek and that portion of the street occupied by the City & Suburban. Railway company, part of which should' not have been Included. 50' Are you interested in Embroideries?

' , "I hunted for three days for the Ore-: gon building at the St Louis fair and found a pile of lumber for the state's exhibit," eald Joseph Skelton of Uni versity Park, who has Just returned from a tour of the east .., "I don't know what is the matter. There were Idle men enough at St. Louis, but Oregon seemed to nead wak ing up. The Washington building- was about completed and made a f,ine show with- its timbers more than a hundred feet long and its exhibit of native woods. But I seemed to be the only man from Oregon, and about the only man in Mis souri who had ever heard' .bf Oregon. I Inquired for the superintendent of the Oregon exhibit at the headquarters. 'I wish you could find him,' said the man ager; 'I have been holding letters for him for three weeks.' . "The St Louis fair is going to be bigger than Chicago's exposition, and it looks like it was going to he nner, but it won't be open May 1 in any sort of shape. I wandered over the fair P rintmg Linotyping Posters, Engraving Brochures Books CataIoss: First and Oak Sts., Portland o 'Phone usMain 1 65 Baltes and Company grounds, and all the chief roadways were mud. There are miles and miles of streets and . avenues - to pave, and they , are not going to be finished in six weeks. All the big buildings have scaffolding about .them ' and are half dona, and there are., mile's of exhibits and concession buildings yet to be started. ' There did not seem to be much of a hurry evident There9 were a good many workmen out there, but room for thousands more, and there are thousands of idle men in the city waiting to get work." , , i Mr. Skelton was In Cleveland the day the thousands viewed the body of Sena tor Mark Hanna. "I got in line early," said Mr, Skelton, "and had to stand for an hour and a half before I viewed the body. More than. 30,000 people took a last look that afternoon. We marched at a fast walk, two -abreast, and as we came to the foot of the funeral car a guard separated us and the line passed on each side of the coffin. V On the day following I fortunately secured a look at the magnificent floral offerings that had .been placed in a room after the fimeral. By persuasion I Induced the guard to let me see the display, and after viewing the offerings sent from a carnatldn from one of the wreaths, I haye kept It, and It is going down with the rest of . the treasures of the family to posterity." :;:' Mr. Skelton was ' absent for three months, and during that time Visited most of the eastern states,, crossed the American Niagara falls on the Ice bridge and visited Chicago and New York. Mr. Skelton said that lie had been living In Oregon for 25 years, and he had never he was. when "doing" the east "I posi tively "will not go east in the winter time again; a man is never warm."

While waiting for his order he glanced over bis newspaper and noticed the ad vertisement of a well-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets; as he himself was a regular user of the tablets, he began speculating as to how many of the other traveling men in the dining-room were also friends of the popular remedy for indigestion. He says: I counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel office I took the trouble to interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twenty-three made a practice of taking one or two of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tab lets after each meal. . One of them told .me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets had been entirely free from Indigestion, but he. continued their use, eapecially while' traveling, on account of irregularity in meals and because, like all-traveling men, he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted. iAnother, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be cause he could at what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of a sleep less night 'or-any other trouble. Still another used them because he was subject to gas, on the stomach, causing pressure on heart and lung, shortness of breath and distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets reirularly. -Another claimed that Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the - trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use. - ' ... -, ... . --. - After smoking, drinking or other ex cesses which weaken the digestive or gans, 'nothing restores the stomach to a healthy, wholesome condition so effec tually as Stuart's Tablets. -Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the -natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, which- every weak stomach lnoks,' as wfll as nux. hydrastln and yellow pa rllla, and can be safely relied on as radical cure for every form of poor dl gestioa. -Sold by druggists everywhere.
