Seattle Has Brick Paved Street Still
in Excellent Condition After Bet
lng Used for Fifteen Years Ta-
oma' Also Uses Brick.
The munloipal authorities of. Port
land are making another- experiment
p a small way with vitrified bricks ai
, paving material. This time they are
elng used to lay the gutters In, Oak
treet, between Second and Third
treets. The same bricks were used
hat full by the United Railways corn-
any in paving between ""the rails in
ront of the City library on Its Stark
treet line, and for the same nurpose
n Flanders street, between Third and
UU1 ut.
Vitrified bricks ere comlna- Into more
eneral use throughout the country as
paving material, Tne first exoert-
Ijents of the kind made 20 to 25 years
mju wore aimost ail xauures. xni
rlcK paving that was laid in Port-
hnd six or eight years ago, was al-
llOBt without value. The denlorahle
onditlon of the brick pavement on
tark street, between Third and Sixth
treets; and on First street, from Fine
Burnslde streets, has long been a
ivlc disgrace to the cltv. Th. bricks
lid on these streets were soft and
aon crumbled and rotted away, with
le result that within three or four
ears after they were put down, the
treets were full of chuckholes and
ell nigh Impassable, and. are now fit
be classed as nubile nuisances. A
few blocks of brick pavement In Fort-
na, nave, nowever, stood the test of
wavy traffic falrlv well. The hlnok nn
Washington street between First and
lecond; that on Madison street., and a
port distance of Kussell street are
radically uninjured.
Successful Elsewhere.
It Is Interesting to know that in other
ftclfic coast cities vitrified lirluk nave.
tent has been thoroughly tested and
ronounced a complete success. Take
pr instance. Seattle, with the umn
limatio conditions that prevail here.
trifled brick pavement has been giv
li a thorough test and is said to have
et tne requirements of the city en
neer's department. The entire down.
iwn district, of Seattle Is paved with
brick that is made near that citv.
f rae of this pavement has been down
r IS years and according to a re-
sni report or tne city engineer shows
very small amount of wear. It
herefore seems improbable that cll
atlc conditions should destroy the
hefulness of brick pavements in Port-
na, ana it is Bare to infer that the
reets of this city have never beun
lived with a real vitrified brick as was
ipposea, except on tne few blocks
here the bricks have stood the test
time and use.
Satisfaction in Seattle.
First and' Second avenues in Seat-
both carry heavier traffia than
y street in anv cltv In the nfnta at
aahlngton. and very much Ilka tha
afflc and teaming seen on Front and
rst streets in the city of Portland,
formation from the cltv eniri neer'a
flee in Seattle is to the effect that
e First avenue brick pavement wna
id nearly 16 years ago, has had little
no repairs, has been taken up In
aces for water and sas pipes, relaying
reet car tracks and various other
unlclpal purposes, and Is still good
r. 16 years more.

Deals Nearly All Under $10,000 Ex-
cept One Unconfirmed Sale of
Acreage Tract Residence and
. Dwelling Property In Demand.
Real estate sales of the past week,
while more numerous and involving a
much larger sum of money than those
of the week before, were chiefly con
fined to small transactions, no deal being
reported where the consideration ex
ceeded $10,000 except the acreage tract
said to have been taken over by the
Swift people, which lacks confirmation.
Transfers filed for record during the
week averaged daily between 150,000
and 160,000, bringing the total for the
weak to nearly $400,000.
But one transaction in the high-
priced business district was reported
during the week, ulthough a well
posted Stark street broker is responsi
ble for the statement that he had about
concluded the sale of three sites In the
business district which would bo an
nounced In a few days. The same agent
said that he knew of other transactions
In business Droeerty which were woll
along toward conclusion, but which
could not be made public at this time.
One X,arge Sale.
The ond large sale referred to Is the
quarter block at the southeast corner of
of which Is paved with brick, Is an
other evidence of the adaptability of
a real vltrllied brick as a paving ma
terlal for a much-traveled street.
Cleveland. Ohio, with Its extremes
of heat and cold, has laid 82 miles of
vitrified brick pavement In the past
three years. 6t. j.ouls. durlnir the same
period yud 4t miles of brick pavement,
and Columbus, Ohio, has laid nearly
2,000,000 square yards of this pave
ment.
The experience of these cities with
this character of pavement makes it
a rair question as 10 wnciner viirmea
brick has ever had a fair test as a
pavement on the streets of Portland.

An elderly Jewish lady of means,
2?,JKrandmotner of devoted grand-enlldr.-n,
modestly mentioned to, one or
two discreet friends that If she could
find a man of her own age, B0, who was
respectable and of a religious turn of
mind she would be glad to take him
for better or for worse. Before long
one of the discreet friends told her
that he had discovered a suitable match
L0,,,. r ln the Peon of one Lazarus
Miililps, and Laiarus was brought to '
the grandmother's house to be looked
upon with a view of matrimony. . ,
He scored heavily, did Lazarus, and
arter a Tew more meetings the good
lady with a directness which does her
credit in this artificial age, took his
hand, saying: "l know what you hava
corno for." Then, resolved to go the .
whole length, she kissed him, murmur
lng, "Mow wa are engaged."
Lazarus seems to have been a bit
bowled over by this, but braced up "
upon hearing that his generous be- '
trothed had decided to deed her house ,
to him and to settle $2,500 a year upon
him for ...e the day after their, mar
riage. Now Indeed did Lazarus see ahead of ,
him an easy and comfortable old age.
Presents were exchanged. She gave
him a matchbox with the inscription,'
"In me a' (then there was a represent,

But the 10 grandchildren, seeing their
grandmother's money belnsr turned inta
other channels, put their heads together. '
How they managed itMilstory does not
state, but Lazarus bfguV to notice that
his Florrle was drawing away from him.
She pledged illness and could not see
him when he called. Once she wrote
and told him that she had learned that
his true age was only 47, and that, of
course, Ehe could not marry a man so
much her Junior. When he succeeded '
In proving that he had reached tha
requisite 0 she said a physician had
told her that her health was ln a pre
carious condition and that she must
abjure marriage.
Then as a final blow she offered to
draw him a check for $176 If he would
release her from their engagement
Then did Lazarus rise in his wrath and
berate her Infidelity ln words of flame.
He did more, he sued her for breach of
promise and demanded $2,600 for dam
ages done his wounded affections.
The lady appeared at the trial sup
ported by the 10 triumphant conspira
tors, and lonely Jazarus statea nis
case with much emotion.
Now, the result of breach of promise
cases in England in which a woman
sues for damages is always a foregone
conclusion. ' The wounded heart of the
lady Is always appeased by a monetary
settlement. Men seldom sue, ana per
haps that is the reason why Judge and.
Jury turned to Lazarus ln his affliction. 1
He did not, of course, get all he de
manded, for besides the $2,500 he had
also a list of prices paid for presents
anu an account of what he had paid
for a trousseau which he would never .
have purchased had he not supposed he
was to be the husband of a rich woman.
No, he didn't get all He demanded; In
fact, he got only $250.
GourV Sees Joke.
The court was convulsed with mirth
over the love affair of Florrle and Las-
arus, and the proceedings were farcical.

sawno humor ln the situation. They s'
cited their respective cases, he with
gloomy wrath and she with coy emo
tion, and ever the 10 watchful ones
rallied around their flirtatious grand
mamma lest her heart should soften. '
"Did you love Mm?", the lawyer
gravely asked the old lady, -- -
"Ladles always do love truly," re
plied the grandmother with downcast '
eyes and a slight emphasis "on the la
dles. The watchful 10 moved Uneasily. "
When the discreet friend gave evi
dence and admitted that he was to have
had a check for his services ln secur
ing an eligible husband, but that It
never materialized, the grandmother did
not change color and bore unflinchingly-
the look of reproach Lazarus cast upon
her for this perfjdy to his friend as well '
as to himself. ' '
The testimony of Lazarus caused
bursts of merriment. In cross-examina- ;
tion the counsel asked him, "Were you v
in love with .her, or was it a matter o ;
money r4
"I was going to marry her, said
Lazarus, with dignity, "because I knew ;t
I should be comfortable for the rest of a
my life and have a good wife."
The only love letter ln the case was ;
roH hrr the lawver for the plaintiff to
show what anxiety of mind Lazarus bad
endured. It ran as follows
"My Darling Flora: I have been very v,
miserable not seeing you. My darling, ,i
do not make any 'schnacks' with me, .
With my fondest love, your ever effec-. .;
tlonate and faithful LAZARUS."
The court charged that a man had as :,;
good a right to sue a woman for breach
of promise as a woman had to sue a
man. It was merely a question of j ,
breach of contract. , i
"If these action are to continue. ;.
said his lordship, "there must ba fair,,';
P,The Jury immediately returned a w
diet for the plaintiff, and Florrle left
tha .n.irt the nnorer by a couple of hun
dred dollars and with only the triumph- f
ant 10 for her nature to twine about, ?
while Lazarus stalked gravely from the
place with but a paltry $250 as balm to
