Whltcomb in the tonneau of an 'automobile, the balance of the hours of darkness he. spent In company wflh a half score or mora of "drunks" and "vagsV in a cell at' the 'city prison, nd all because he started out in a searcn for, trouble, and was so unfortunate as to find it. t , Whltcomb, vrho U said to be a travel ing salesman, hired an automobile' from the White Auto Livery company last evening and started out for a ride about the city. He Insisted on the chauffeur performing all sorts or stunts, ana wnen the latter protested threatened him with personal violence. He would neither alight from the machine nor pay for its hire, and finally in desperation the chauffeur drove up to the police sta tion and asked ror help. Whitcomh defied the entire nolice de partment, and the circumstances of his removal from the automobile to a cell in the prison were spoctacular to the last degree. Sergeant Baty had charge of the law and-order end of the pro gram, and it was his strong right a-m that finally deposited Whltcomb and his smart apparel in tne miast or tne mot lev assemblaae in the "drunk" cell. In the police court this morning Whlt comb pleaded ' guilty to the charge of drunkenness and meekly but sorrowfully parted with a 110 piece in payment of his fine. He also separated himself from a 15 mil to reimourse m automo bile company for his short but hilarious ride of the evening before. TO ATTEND FUNERAL The funeral services of Right Rev.

It is said on rood authority that tha Japanese steamsnlp company haa been negotiating with the Hill interests for connection with the north bank road, with Portland as the eastern terminus. and with the Chicago, Milwaukee at St. Paul with Puget sound as terminus. In view of the fact that the Nippon Tusen Kaisha is negotiating with the Great Northern Deonle for the transfer of the mammoth liner Minnesota under its colors, there is said to be strong reason to believe that the opposition MAYBE THEY ARE CLEANING Seven or eight Greeks , and Hindus applied at the city ball last week tor permits to peddle, hot iamales .and candy about the city, but When ques tioned as to ' the cleanliness - of the places where the hot tamales are to be manufactured grew uncommunicative and left the city building without .a license. Now the officials are wonder ing what became of the would-be ped dlers, their tamales and their candies. Deputy Auditor Joe Hutchinson is anxious to know whether the men are peddling in defiance of the city's new market ordinance; whether they have moved their places of manufacture, or In hla annual report Harbormaster J.

On November 25, 1907, the tonnage Of vessels listed and on the way to Portland was 139,723 tons. On the same date In 1906 the tonnage was 63,321, or 86,402 tons less than in 1907. Among the violations, of the harbor rules which, were, corrected by the har bormaster last year was compelling the mills and .factories along the river to put in bulkheads to confine the sawdust and log ends, which means a saving to the city in dredging the channel to re move the refuse; the prevention of steamboats racing up and down the stream; compelling vessels to have their refuse carted away Instead of dumping it into the river, .and many other in fractions of the rules. Harbormaster Speier recommends that mooring buoys be installed in the west channel to privlde safe anchorage for ocean liners coming Into port and the lighting of the docks at, night by means of electricity.
