UHT STREETS IN
POOR CONDITION
Paving with Wooden Blocks
Has Proved to Be Sad
Failure.
CROSSINGS IN SOME
PLACES IMPASSABLE
Business Men Are Blaming City
Engineer's Office for the
Deplorable Conditions.
Ralna of the Inst weak have mad
tore apparent than aver th jnany
flaring defects in paving on Salmon
tract. First street and Second street.
In the block on Salmon street, between
fourth and Fifth streets, there are
places where a volcanic eruption seems
to have taken place under the wooden
Mocks.
Owners of abutting property blame
the city engineers office more than
the contractors.
Salmon street paving bulged about
two months ago. after the first fall
rains, and there was a range of minia
ture mountain all the way from Fifth
to Front streets. The contractors, Mil
ler Bauer, took up the blocks and
relald the paving, anil added to It a
heavy coat of carbollnetrra. .
: "The paying Is now all right," said
Walter J. Hoi man, secretary of the
Edward Holman Undertaking company,
whose property is st the corner of Sal
mon and Third streets, "and we shall
make no objection to paying for it as
soon as It is accepted by the city. We
think the contractors did as well as
they could under the circumstances.
They wanted to lay the blocks some
what apart to give room for swelling,
but the city engineer's men stood over
them and compelled them to lay the
blocks close together. We were op
posed to wooden blocks for paving, and
favored belgian blocks laid on cement.
But we did not remonstrate, aa we pre
ferred to take anything in the form
of street paving, to get out of the mud.
When mud and water flaw into a place
of bualneea in rainy weather, the busi
ness man is willing to put up with
almost anything to get relief."
At the corner of Fourth and Yamhill
streets the paving Is in very bad con
dition. The west half of this Intersec
tion was not coated with carboiineum.
The exposed blocks have taken water,
and that half of the intersection is
covered with puddles and bumpa The
blocks in one place have bulged up, and
in other placea they have sunk or worn
out. and the crosswalk on Fourth Is
almost impassable.
All along Second street from Yam
hill to Main street the planks that have
been laid next to the atreet car tracks
are worn out and puddles of water col
lect at the crossings. . These crossings
form beau-traps, which when stepped
on send streams of water and mud
over shoes and clothing.
At one corner of First and Taylor
atreets there Is a large sink hole,
where a pond of water make the cross
walk Impassable. At another corner
there la a large mound bulging up di
rectly in the path.
"At least half a dosen people passing
here have fallen In the street over that
hillock," said an employe at a clothing
store on the corner.
The Intersection of Second and 8al
mon atreets is covered with big holes
and puddles of muddy water. On Uie
northwest corner of this intersection
there are two sunken placea In the
block paving.
The First street wooden blocks pav
ing has bulged in numerous places. At
the intersection of First and Main
streets a mound appeared In the night,
after a rain, and the contractors who
relaid it were obliged to. leave out an
entire row of the wooden blocks to
allow room for replacing the others.
Property owners who formerly had
muddy streets In front of their store
buildings are unwilling to let the mat
ter rest where it la but tenants of
these business houses object to the
continual Interruption of their business
by the relaying of street paving. They
ear that the city engineer and the con
tractors should have informed them
selves In advance on the subject of
wooden block paving, and should have
done the work properly in the first
Instance. They say there is no good
excuse for the defective paving that
has been done on these streeta

Aaron Jones, worthy master of the
National Orange, and N. J. Bachelder,
governor of the state of New Hampshire,
addressed the congregation at the Tay
lor street Methodist church yesterday
morning. They told how the purposes of
the grange were to co-operate with edu
cation and religion in uplifting the peo
ple. Many national grange officers and
delegates were present and were es
corted to front seats. The distinguished
visitors were introduced to the congre
gation by the pastor. Rev. Dr. Short Mr.
Jones and Governor Bachelder told of
the work of the grange and its hopes
and purposes. By means of education
and by precept and example they hoped
to further the cause of religion. They
said there were few organisations so
closely related to a religious body aa
the national grange.
The addresses were extemporaneous,
of course, but the audience was vocifer
ous 'in its applause. They even cheered
when the speakers had concluded.
POWER OF THE PRESS.
Br. House Fays a Mlgh Tribute to Jour
nal, and Journalists.
The public has more reason for inter
est In newspaper men than in the char
acter of any other class, clergymen not
excepted, according to Dr. B. L. House,
pastor of the First Congregational
church. In his sermon on "Journalism
and Journalists," delivered last night,
he stated that it is through these men
that we see the world seven days in the
week; that they represent the greatest
power In American life today. He
brought out the thought that as long as
the influence of the press is used in the
right direction we have nothing to fear;
ae soon aa it begins to deviate from the
legitimate sphere, then all our faiths,
our hopes, our homes, our schools and
our courts are In danger.
He stated that the newspaper man is
brought in contact with many tempta
tions In the street, in the saloon and In
the courts, all of which Influences a man
toward losing faltl in humanity. In
speaking of the functions of a newspaper
he said: . .
"The first function of a newspaper
ought to be to give a blrdaeye view of
events. And the compoelte picture thus
presented should not have the shadows
Of Ufa too prominent Although the
press Is a phonograph reproducing the
sounds and sentiments of the day, pub
lic morality demands the suppression of
much that Is. bad, so that the press shall
not become a school or suggester of
vice.
"The next function of a newspaper
ought tobe to conserve the purity and
happiness of 'the home. All that makes
for the detronement of the home should
be eliminated. A paper Is not solely to
make money, at any coat It has a
grander mission than that Its mission
ought to be aa high as heaven let it not
be lowered In the direction of the other
place.
"Another unction of the press la to
conserve a true American nationality a
patriotism so broad, so pure, so discrimi
nating, so pervading, so abiding, that
neither demagogues nor anarchists will
aver be able to shake the solid founda
tions of our national union.
"And then the press conserves the
public safety. The newspaper is our
safety-valve; It la our public conscience;
It Is the artillery that turns threatening
revolutions Into needed reformations.
There is no doubt but what the black
Ink of the newspaper has washed many a
person's life clean.' "
NO WEIOHT IN RIDICULE.
"Wlj X Am Mot aa Infidel," Subject of
"Why I Am Not an Infidel" was the
subject of Dr. Ray Palmer's sermon at
the Second Baptist church last night
His arguments were clear and convinc
ing. "I am not an Infidel," said he, "in the
first place, because infidelity dose not
satisfy my reason; Christianity does. It
makes a difference what a man believes.
"The .ridicule of an Infidel never had
any weight with me. A man in the east
attempted several years ego to ridicule
Freemasonry out of existence. Of
course, he failed. That man who ridi
cules my mother's faith, or her Bible,
or her Immortal hopes, has no weight
with me. Some things are too sacred to
be ridiculed out of the world.
"The mere eloquence of an infidel has
no charms for ma Ingersoll had a sil
ver tongue, his words flowed like molten
gold; spellbound he held bis audiences as
If by magic. But that was no proof that
he had the truth on his aide."
"The Divine Hand In American His
tory" was the subject of a very strong
and Interesting sermon by the Rev. Wil
liam F. Randall yesterday at the Cen
tral Baptist church, east atdo. He gave
a synopsis of the great events of history,
which concluded In the founding of the
American government and the recogni
tion of the United suites as the most
powerful nation on the face of the
earth. He said that throughout the his
tory of this country the guidance of the
Divine hand, of Providence, could be
traced, citing aa instances the acquisi
tion of Florida, from Spain, Louisiana
from France, the admission of Texas to
the union, preceded by the treaty with
Spain giving America control of the
northwest and the Columbia river, and
the acquisition of .A, Is ska,
