It Is said, change to some extent the drift of activ ity In realty and manufacturing enter prlaea on the peninsula. It Is said the Harrlman lines Intend to encourage manufacturing plants to locate -in the vicinity of McKenna junction. . The company's .latest purchase gives it a frontage of about J, 000 feet on each side of Columbia slough. The slough Is susceptible of dredging, making It navi gable for large vessels and giving the McKenna Junction district facilities for manufacturing Industries,' There Is. however, no confirmation of the report ed dredging project. Ths plans of the railroad company outside nf the tunnel project are thus far carefully covered. On the Willamette side the tunnel project has -opened up a strong proba bility of another bridge over that river to do away with existing difficulties of traffic entering the east end of the steel bridge, v Bridgo the Willamette. , Owing to the sharp curve at that point and a high bluff that projects out and prevents Improvement of track age conditions, tha Harrlman companies are not able to pull more than 15 to 10 loaded cars over the steel bridge in one train, while the Hill roads, with their straight line through the peninsula and over the Willamette can move a -train of SO to TO .cars. To make conditions equal the Harrlman lines will prob ably be compelled to bridge the river at the upper end of Swan island. With this contingency In view they r have purchased the lands of the Oneonta Land company and P. I Willis, aggre gating about too acres, lying between Guild's lake and the Willamette river. . Should the proposed, bridge be built they could move their traffic through the penlnaula tunnel and nearly straight across the Willamette river to the west side, where . larger terminals will be constructed, .connecting directly with the trackage of tli Northern Pad flo Terminal company.

GHVURTZ 173175 First Street MAKING AN ANARCHIST Sunny Tempered Man Becomes " Fire-Eater While You Wait. : rThe peddler In the blue -uniform had gone through tbe suburban car, distri buting his samples " of " spiced candy. warranted to cure your cough or money refunded, and was making tha return trip down the aisles, handing out small boxes of candy to those who wished to purchase them at the ridiculously small sum of a nickel a box. when a middle- aged man from Hegewlsch entered the car and took a seat. ' - When the peddler came along the middle-aged man handed his a t-c.nt piece.' and received a -box of candy In return. . . A few minutes later, while he waa munching the candy, tha conductor asked blm for his fare. "I paid you once,- he sald.- "You didn't do anything of the sort," tbe conductor answered. "Yes, I did. Don't you rememberT I handed you my nickel and yon gave me a. box of candy.. It's the first Christ mas gift, by gum, I ever got from a street railroad company, and I ain't likely to ferget it. Here's the box, If you don't believe me." "Did you think you were paying your fare when you handed over that nickel V "I'd like to know, b' gosh, what I was doing If I wasn't paying my fare)" "You were patronising a candy butcher. If you - don't know the difference It ain't my fault He works . this car mighty near every day." "Where Is her' "He left the car at that last crossing."

Here it Is. You'll have to change It." "I'm not expected to change $20 bills, and I haven't money enough, anyway. Maybe you can get somebody else in the car to change It." The unlucky passenger mad. the rounds of the car, but nobody bad half aa much as $20. It was too soon after the glad Christmas season. ' "Haven't you any pennies V asked the conductor. 1 . "No." ..'.'-- "Well, I'm sorry for you, but you'll have to get off." "Can't you wait till I" "Walt nothing! I've already carried you two miles free." . Here he rang the signal to stop. "This Is where you get off." - "I'll sue the" "That's all right, but here's where you hit the oedar block. Lively, now." ' Assisting him to the rear platform by means of an arm bold, he encouraged him In a similar way to step off, rang the signal to go ahead, and the car speeded down the track, leaving on the crossing a Hegewlsch mart who was S good cltlien when he went aboard, but bad become a raging anarchist fit for treasons, slrategems and spoils. POOR LITTLE BOY Wanted to Make Dclieve That He , Belonged to Rome One. ' From the New York Press; The boy sat cuddled so closely to the women In gray that everyone was sure he belonged to her, so when he uncon sciously dug his muddy shoes Into the nrojdcloth skirt of his left hand neigh bor ahe leaned over and said: . "Pardon me, madam, will you kindly make :your .little hoy ..square .himaelf around? He Is soiling my skirt with bis muddy shos." -The woman in "gray blushed" a little and nudged the boy away. "My goodness, she added, "he Ian t mine." - The boy squirmed uneaally. Ha was such a little fellow that he could not begin to touch hl feet to the floor, so be stuck them out straight In front ot All wc ask-is a small cash pay ment, then $1.00 a week, on the ' Q 1NIS him like pegs to hang things on, and looked at them deprecatlngly. . . , - "I'm aorry," be whispered to the woman in gray. "I hop it will brush off." . The tmldtty . ef his voice took a short cut to tha woman's heart, and she smiled UDon him kindly. - "Are you golog-uo .town. alone T" she asked. i "Yes, ma'am." he said. "I always go alone. . Father , la dead and mother la dead. I live with Aunt Clara In Brooklyn, t but she says Aunt Anna ought to help do something, so twice a week she sends me to stay with Aunt Anna. I am going up there now." "Poor dear," said the woman with sob. "You are a very nloe little boy to be knocked about in tms way." "Oh, I don't mind." he said. "But I get lonesome sometimes, and when I see anybody that I think I would like to belong too I scrooge up close to her so that I can make believe that I am really her little boy. That's bow I got ber dress dlrty.'-- - - - The woman In gray put her arms around the tiny chap and "scrooged" him so close that she hurt blm, and then every other woman who had over heard his artless confidence started to mother blm. . ., '. BUILT BY THE BLIND' Two Unfortunates Construct House . - Without Outside Aid. . Two totally blind men have' built a house for themselves at Berkeley. Cali fornia, doing all the carpenter work themselves without any, assistance what ever. ' - - It is a colncldenee that both these men are named Joseph Joseph Brown and Joseph Vlarttnes, The house, according to Popular Mechanics, Is of the populaf bungalow type, one and a half stories high and constructed entirely of wood, It la 11 feet wide by 15 feet long. As the builders are slghtleaa, tbe work necessarily progressed slowly. From early morning until frequently long after sunset the two men tolled patiently at their task. The shades of night did not hinder the work, for noonday and mid night are equally dark to them and out of the blackness came the song of the saw and the blows of the hammer to passersby, who beard but saw no work men. From day to day the work has been curiously watched by crowds. Including many carpenters. Tbe general work la pronounced, as good as that performed by many builders wbo are blessed with perfect eyesight. Brown and Marrlnes were not blind from their birth, but were deprived ot their sight many years ago. They were door to door peddlers for many years and managed In the course of time to accumulate snug sums of money that were wisely deposited In bank. At the time of the great fire In Ban Francisco those men lost everything, save, their little bank accounts. 1 - Recently they pooled their holdings, purchased a small lot In Berkeley, and some lumber. They then set to work resolutely and hare built themselves a house. -.'.. . ': . . : ...... . Metsger fits your eyes for 11.00, ' 111 Sixth street, near Washington, . No Wonder She Was Fired. ' .
