NOT IN SIGHT I'lIlKHW OF PAVING HOPE QUESTION IS SETTliEU Ex-Mayor Mntlock Favors Macadam rnder Some Conditions Hot Is 7"ot needing, Aadlng or Abetting Any Move to Prevent BltulitWc Georgo tHirveau and Others Favor liilullth ic Ag-iinst Anything Yet Suggested. Up to this afternoon no remon trance against the paving of Main and Court streets had been started, and friends of paving are hopeful that such will not be done. "W. F. Matlock said this morning that the story In the Tribune this morning was unwarranted, as far as he 1 concerned. He says he Is not heading any remonstrance and does not know that he will remonstrate against paving. He wishes to tnlk the matter over with property owners before making up his mind In the matter. However, he Is disposed to favor macadam rather fhan paving, and snys he would ' rather see 20 streets macadamized than Tour paved. Among Main street property owners who have desired paving there Is now a feeling of elation over the prospect of getting the Improvement. They declare there Is now no reason on earth why a remonstrance should be started, as the council has thoroughly Investigated the matter and the mem ben acted unanimously hi selecting bttuilthlc. George Darveau declares himself flatly against macadam for Main mreei, ana says ne will Tight any movement to Improve with that ma terial Instead of a hard pavement Mort of the other local property owners are of the same sentiment. tSOODS SHIPPED TO 'FRISCO.

Diamond, a Portinn.i ,-i estate dealer, who returned from San Francisco Saturday, stated that in his oener tne reason there was no confla gration In Oakland following the earthquake, was owing to the presence of mind of the electrical engineer In charge of the power house and gener ator of that city, who immediately on experiencing the shock, turned off the current all over the city, says the Portland Oregonlnn. Had this been done In Snn Francisco, Mr. Diamond believes much of the seriousness of the conflagration there would have been abated, for mORt of the fires orig inated from short circuited and cross ed wires, and from broken gas pipes and mains.

"Within 24 hours after the disaster carloads of supplies and hundreds of thousands of dollars were voluntarily contributed by workers In every fac tory, field and farm, and by every city, town and hamlet In the state," said Governor Chamberlain.

"The ladles of the state In the cities, in the field and on the farm have pre pared bread and other supplies to meet pressing needs, and altogether there has been shown a disposition everywhere to meet the necessities of the occasion. 0. 1 SHELEER TO SUPERINTENDENT BLUE " MOUNTAIN RESERVES HERE, Urges Large Attendance of Stockmen for Meeting of May 5 bi Tills City The Eastern Division Comprises About One-Half of the Entire Re serve juctends From Kamela 78 Miles Southward to the Survey of the Military Road and Averages From Eight to 15 Miles in Width.
