Rumors are again afloat about the
steamer Telephone, which has been tied
at tha Haseltlne dock ever alnoe she was
built more than a year ago. It Is re
port ad that ahe will be placed in com
mission tho first of next month between
Portland and Astoria, .and will bo run
In connection, with tha Kamm Una of
steamers. It is also stated that ahe
will make regular oails at Kelso .on the
return trip and take on shingles rrom
the mill at that place. ;
Another report says that when spring
opens the steamer will go on the upper
Columbia river In opposition to' the
Regulator line of boata. There haa been
more or less-talk Of this sort ever since
the vessel was launched. A short time
age.the atatement- waa- mad that aha
would run as far- aa Tha Dalles, and
that at that point ahe would connect
with a steamer plying from there to
Dewlston on the Snake nver. it waa
pointed out that thla would be a splendid
route for her juat aa soon as the portage
road waa completed, wblon will be in too
early spring. ' .
,The Telephons haa been an enigma to

If the report which was placed in cir
culation this, morning la true that-ahe

the Kamm lino of steamers, the people
of Portland will have splendid steamboat
service to tbe city by the sea, as she
haa splendid passenger accommodation.

Until yesterday the lad lived with hia

to follow - the rainbow to Its end to
find if the marvelous things he bad beard
were true. - :...
MtUe attention waa paid hia childish

he and the lad who had diacaased the

The plan ; to hold an arbor day haa
been suggested by cltlxens who are en
thualastio In their effort a to beautify
the city for the exposition. The purpose
Is to-make it an occasion In which not
only the public school children, but all
the people, of Multnomah county may
participate. ' -'" T" '' "J-''" ""
Thla Is said to b th best plan to rid
the vacant lots and unimproved aide
walks of weeds, grass and brush, to
trim unkspt hedges and shade trees. CoJ
operation of all th eitlsena in tbe move
ment for a clean city ia desired, and it
ia argued that all arbor day ia tho me
dium by which It may be secured.
State Superintendent of Schools J. H,
Ackerman will name a day ia April to be
observed by tho public school children of
tbe state In planting trees and flowera
and In beautifying tne publio -school
grounds.-- It la desired to make thia a
day when business men will lay aside
their duties, .when studenta will leave
their studies, when peopie in all walks of
life will lend their assistance In a cam
paign against everything that tends to
mar tb appoaranc of tb city.
Such events are frequently held In Cal
ifornia, and in many counties arbor'day
I on of th greatest occasions of the
year. - People gather on th streets and
in county roads with plows, wagons, boea
and ahovela, - :- .
: Bemovo tke mnbateb. -
Tree and plants are planted, vacant
yards and sidewalks are cleared of weeda
and brush, hedges are trimmed, and ail
aorta of work la don to lend sweetness
and light to tb community.
A mas meeting of th cltlxens may be
called In tb near - future to consider
the proposition to hold some such event
in thl county. While It 1 said it Is
not necessary to plant mora trees In
Portland, It la suggested that on thla day
every cltlsen shbuld devote hia time to
improving the appearance- oi nis prem

Tbe movement for a elean city "Will
be supported by tb municipal govern
ment, which will enforce th ordinances
now in effect and. if necessary -pass
others, compelling property owners to
keep their property free from weeda and
sraaa. An ordinance waa passed in 1Q3
providing.' for uie-r removal - ox graaau
weeds and Drusn zrom aiaewaias si jeasi
twice a year. Tb duty of enforcing thla
ordinance falls upon thaojty engineer,

corporations ahall provide for. tho ex
termination of canaaa, unioes ana nus

within the corporate limits An attempt
will be made by tb city authorities to
prevent vacant yards ana- siaewaias
from, being overgrown with these ob
noxious weeda. ;-.-.''
