V,IV. ,., l in null ii 1 1 n j Cl i " iut mm J ' Two hundred men have been put to work within the past week by the Co lumbia Contracting company of this city, getting out rock at Fisher's quar ry for the extension of the Jetties at Columbia bur, says a Portland paper. Nine barges are used ln transporting the rock from the quarries to the land ing ut Fort Stevens, where the forces engaged on the Jetty load It on cars and run It out over the railroad track to the beginning of the new two-mile extension. The work of extending the Jetty will take about two years, ns a result of the recent appropriation of $2,600,000 by congress. The south. Jetty will then have extended to a total distance of seven miles from the main land. No work has yet been done on the pro posed Jetty on the north side of the mouth of the Columbia, but the pro ject of this second Jetty Is looked up on with favor by the government en gineers, who have made the necessary surveys. Dan Kern, manager of the delivery of the rock, expects to put on about 200 more laborers within the next 60 days, as soon as more facilities for handling the rock have been establish ed at Fort Stevens. At present, the delivery of rock amounts to about 2000 tons a day. This rock Is mostly of Icrge size, ranging from a weight of 15 tons to E0 ponnds. It Is a hard basalt that will resist the wear anl erosion of the sea water, and by Its weight will keep . In the position In which It Is placed. "We pay our men from $2 to 14 a day of 10 hours," Mr. Kern says, "and we are getting all the men we want at present. In fact, more are apply ing for work than we can accommo date, and the men, as a rule, are wil ling to do more work than they were last year, and do nol quit suddenly and without provocation, as they used to when work was plentiful and tilgh prlccd." The Fisher's Landing quarries are (Ituated on the north side of the Co lumbia river, some nine miles above Vancouver. The quality of the rock produced Is said by the government engineers to be better than that found anywhere else along the lower Columbia. trkl Jn the Lapwal and Spalding dis tricts.

In the mirtter of the herd district, some days ago Reubens addressed a communication to the commissioners stating he and his tribesmen desired to bo heard If It was the pleasure of the board to hear 'them. The board notified them to be present. The Indians lost out yesterday, and the petition of David Gllmore and j others asking that the district be cre ated was granted, yet the argument j of Reubens was Interesting and sug- I gests a new policy on the part of tho Nez Perces, wlio own o tmuch of the land embraced In Nez Perce county, as to county affairs. The chorus Is not only large enough to fill nny stage, but the voices are the sort that take an opera score and make the very best of all that is in It. "The District Leader" moves with 'A J Fred C.

And they are not pets nor are they kept their for their beauty or to be admir ed by the clerks, says a Portland pa per. The cats nre kept t the postot flce to protect the mail from raU and mice and they cost the govern ment $24 a year. Portland is one of the fev post- offices in the country for which the; u g M postofflce department make, an an- bQu ,pav(j the thoatep flnd ex. a' PP"PJS"htt:, direct to find the lights o, Herald 1 .

The money Is ' , ,, ,,. used to buy food for the cats, though this seems somewhat of a reflection upon their ability to catch the pesky little rodents. At times much trouble wus former ly experienced by the postal clerks there because of the fact that rats and mice wero always gnnwlng the mall pouches and opening letters ad dressed to Individuals, regardless of the penitentiary penalty Imposed upon Individuals for such an act. It has been found that cats cannot live on rat dainties or choice bits of mice, and milk and meat must be supplied at Intervals. Consequently AUTO RACES FOR ROSE SHOWS. Hlspcn Events In History of the West to Re Swi In Port la ml. Few Portland people realize the Importance of the big automobile races the local motor club is. putting on during the rose festival, but noth ing like It was ever attempted In the west before, says the Telegram. The northwest has never attempted an automobile event greater than dinky races on tracks and ln California where there are thousands of cars, en durance and hlll-cliniblng contests have been about the limit. Road races are the true tests for cars and this one will be In the front rank of the movement for testing the actual stock cars sold the public, bnd not some specially built flyer. No outside racers will be brought In and only makes will be admitted that are represented here by agents now. The course chosen Is an Ideal one and will truly rank next to the Van derbilt and Urinrcliff, as lias leen said. Starting at the school house mar Mnntaville, the course goes s.iuth one mile to the section line road, thence east six miles to near Gresh- am, thence north one mile to the Twelve-Mile road and west to the starting point. The course is between 14 and 15 miles long. The county commission ers have given It up for one afternoon and the governor has promised the state militia to guard It. It will be oiled at the expense of $2300. and the ins widened. Three hundred thou sand peoplo attended the Vandorbllt race, so this event ought to be one of the main attractions of the carnival. The. course will be a true test for the cars because every variMy of turn will be met. There will be the square cornet, the s curve in tne section line road, near Oresham, another kink beyond and the seven-mile down grade from Twelve-Mile House to Montavilla. That Is as pretty a stretch of road as there is In the country, and many of the drivers will hit up 60 miles an hour doing It. The prizes In the 100 and 50-mile race will be handsome and costly cups for permanent trophies, which a man must win three times consecutively to become owner. you, and every one hurrying down Broadway for an after-theater supper. "The District Leader" Is a New York production given at Wallnck's thea ter, and tills production in its entirety Is whnt Is promised local theater goers. Every costume, every piece of scenery, every electrlcl effect and every property used In Wallack's will be used here when this attraction makes Its appearance at the Oregon tomorrow evening.

ANOTHER FARMERS' TRAIN. O. It. & N. Will Run Train Through Eastern Washington Counties. Following an announcement that a farmers' demonstration train would be run through the Walla Walla val ley if there were demand for it, near ly every community In this part of the country immediately asked for the train, says the Walla Walla States man. One similar to the one now granted to this region was run through the Talouse country last month and was attended by great suc cess. So great, indeed, was its suc cess, that the O.
