Newspapers from Chicago arrive at this office on the fourth day after being issued, only one day longer than it takes for papers to come from San Francisco. The steamer TihpJione is reported to have broken down on the tip trip to Portland yesterday and the Wil lamette VhUfVklW come down in her place to-day . Stars generally shine in tho firma ment above, but yesterday a new Starr made its appearance in this city. It is an eight-pound star and of the mas culine pursnasion. B. S. Wbrsley has received a large consignment of dry goods, which he will offer at auction on Saturday morning next, at 11 o'clock, iu Flavel's brick block. The ladies are especially invited to attend. First jtrect, between Jackson and Polk streets, is being put in fine order. On the north side of the street, a side walk is being laid where there never was one before, and iu the street new planks are being laid. Each of the day steamers going up the river carries from six to ten tons of sturgeon to Portland, which are picked tip at various points, both on i the Oregon and Washington sides. 1 The sturgeon are quite large this year, often weighing 300 to 400 pounds each. A large number of reserved seats for the Liiberati concert on Saturday night were sold at the New York Novelty store yesterday, and there will undoubtedly bo a large number of our citizens to welcome the famous musician at the opera house on Satur-1 day evening.

Ho informs us that "to close them out at aav sac rifice is his positive instruction.' Yesterday, in the TL E. church, the members failed to turn out very strongly and exercise their right of franchise, as only thirty votes were cast, and every one of them was in favor or allowing women delegates to the general conference. At the ses sion in 1S92 it is very likely that many female delegates wilt be present from various parts of the country. The inscriptions on some or the let ters received at the post office here arc peculiar. Yesterday Postmaster Hare wasted half an hour in trying to decipher the inscription on a letter from Oak Point. He was about to give it up, when Bichard Prael, the registry clerk, solved the mysterious inscription. It read: "Glatz-up Mill' Companie,' and translated meant. -Clatsop Mill Company.' The writer of the editorials, so stjled, published iu the Columbian, is trying with very poor success to imi tate the productions of Ambrose BiiTce.ot the Examiner, and not con tented with being an imitator, j must steal the ideas of that famous writer. It will bs a long time, brother, before you can reach the literary step on which Mr. Bierco now stands. A special meeting of Alert Hook and Ladder Company, No. 1, was held last evening. President Frank Green presiding. The principal business of the season was a discussion of the proposed drill of the department on the 27th inst. The bovs decided to be in it and Ed. Miller, Charles H. Cooper ana B. & Carnahan were ap pointed a committee to procure uni forms for the team. In about eighteen days it is ex pected that Capt. Babbidge's new steamer will be launched. The boiler and engines will be put iu and all the woodwork of the house completed while the vessel is on the stocks, so that when she is launched, it will not be more than two or three days before steam can be raised and the vessel made ready for service. The boiler is being made at the Astoria Iron Works. The government steamer Cascades, which has long enjoyed the honor of having the best and loudest whistle, can now lay claim to having the larg est bell of any boat on the river, as a new one was yesterday placed on board, which is twenty-four inches in diameter, and sounds nearly as lond as the fire bell of the city. Captain ' AVhitcomb was proud enough of his ' whistle, and now with the boss bell as well as whistle, he can hardly be ap proached within hailing distance. The city hall building had a narrow escape from being burned, last even ing. About S o'clock Chiet of Police Tflarrv. pnlered his urivntc office and found it full of smoke. A smoulder- j ins fire was burning nmong a pile of' Stpers and books on tho top of a desk, j at for the timely discovery, a serious blanks were ruined, but fortunately the assessment roll escaped with only a alight scorching. The fire caught frost the gas jet and when Chief Bwrv arrived, was communicating to the wood partition. The loss will nret to about 'JU. flEIET RESTAURANT-JEFFS PERSONAL MENTION'.

A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Of a Man Prominently UentiM Villi Matters of Present Interest TO irAJTT 2.V THIS riCZSITY. The following biographical sketch is from "The History of Portland,' by H. W. Scott, and will be read with in terest by many who are acquainted with the subject, mainly through his connection with tho history of As toria's railroad effert: William Beid, capitalist and banker of Portland, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, November 22, 184L His ancestors for several generations were residents of Forfarshire, and the town of Dundee. David Keid, his father, was conductor on tho first railroad ever operated in Scotland, and for thirty years was prominently identi fied with the railroad interests of that country. The education of our sub ject began in his native city at St. Andrew's parish school, and was com pleted at the University of Glasgow in 1865. At tho latter institution after finishing his literary coarse, he stud ied for the bar and was admitted in 18G7 as au attorney. He began the practice of his profession at Dundee in partnership with Alexander Doug las, under the firm name of Eeid & Douglas. He soon acquired an ex tensive practice, and acted as counsel for the United States for several American claimants under the Ala bama treaty. In 18G8 be was em ployed by Mrs. Mary Lincoln, widow of the president, to assist in the pre paration of tho "Eeminscences of Abraham Lincoln." While employed on this work he was appointed by President Grant as United States con sul at Dundee, and held the office at that port until his removal to Oregon in 187-1. It was during the period he held this office that his attention was called to Oregon. From the official reports published on the state, and from intercourse gained with Amer icans, he gained much information concerning the state. In 1873 ho prepared and published a pamphlet entitled "Oregon and Washington considered as a field for Labor and Capital." Thirty thousand copies were circulated, and the in fluence they exerted upon the devel opment of this portion of the Union is almost beyond calculation. The attention of capitalists and immigrants was directed towards this section, and one of the immediate results was the formation of the Oregon and Wash ington Trust Investment Company, of Scotland, with a paid up capital of $230,000. Tho Earl of Airlie was made president of tho company, and Mr. Eeid its secretary. In 1874 he was sent to Oregon to organize its business iu this state, and so highly impressed was he with tho resources of this region that he determined to permanently locale here, and become a citizen of the United States. In 1876 Mr. Eeid, with several Scotch capitalists, established at Port land the Oregon and Washington Mortgage Savings bank, the first sav ings bank of deposit in the state. This financial institution, with its prede cessor, made loans averaging $650,000 a year until 1881, when they had $3,700,000 at interest, and not n single dollar had been lost by bad debts. In 1876 Mr. Eeid's friends organ ized the Dundee Mortgage Company, with a capital of $500,000. For three years this company loaned S750.000 per j car. With it, in 1830, was con solidated the Oregon and Washington Trustluvestment Company, the united capital being increased to $5,000,000. In. 1882 he established the First Na tional bank of Salem, and was ap pointed its president. Daring tho fol lowing year he organized the Oregon Mortgage Company. The great con fidence reposed in Mr. Eeid's sagacity and honesty can bo best realized from the fact that from May, 1874, to June, 18S5, ho had made moro than 5,000 loans, amounting to $7,597,741, of which $6,000,000 consisted of Scotch capital. The losses incurred in hand ling this large sum were very small, and it is doubtful if in the financial history of this country, any equal amount, used in the same way, was ever so judiciously or profitably man aged. In 1881 Mr. Eeid organized tho Sa lem Mills Company, and in 18S2 formed a company, with a capital of $200,000, called tho City of Salem Company, which first introduced into Oregon the gradual reduction system of milling. This company erected at Salem the largest brick mills in the state, having, with the hydraulic use of tho Santiam river, an estimated 3,600 horse-power. In 1884 ho organ ized and established the Portland Na tional bank, of which he has since been president. Soon after bis arrival in Portland Mr. Beid, in connection with Captain A. P. Ankeny, organized the board of trade of Portland, and was its active secretary for a period of six years. Shortly after the creation of this com mercial body he appeared before both houses of the legislature, and strongly urged the passage of the first Oregon immigration act, and it was largely through his efforts that the first state "board of immigration was created. Of this body he was also appointed secretary, holding the position for three years. Daring this period he wrote several pamphlotsdescribingthe resources of Oregon, which were trans lated into Flemish, German, French and Spanish, many thousands of them being circulated at the Paris and Philadelphia expositions in 1876. . The present railroad system of the Pacifio northwest owes much to Mr. Eeid's enterprise and energy. In 1880 he conceived the idea of constructing ,fa system of narrow guage railroads in .western uregon wiiu its lermmus at Portland, and was one of the organ izers of the Oregonian Eailway Com pany of. which the earl of Airliewas made president and Mr. Eeid local president. The construction of this system met with great opposition from rival railroad companies and the city of Portland. In the fall of 1880, 118 miles had been completed, but when Mr. Eeid proposed to locate his ter minus on the public levee of Portland, the citizens made a most vigorous fight against the project The fight was taken into the halls of the legis lature, in the session of 1880, where, after considerable opposition, a bill was passed by a two-thirds vote of the senate and house, over the governor's veto, entitling Mr. Eeid's company, wkich at that time was very popular with the farmers of the Willamette valley as an opposition road, to per manently locate the public levee of Portland for its terminus and depot grounds. The Toad was then com pleted for a distance of 163 miles, and its roaa uea 'graaea to a pome witnin eleven miles of Portland at a cost of S2,000,000, where its further extension to the city was stopped by the Scotch owners of the enterprise, who, despite Mr. Eeid's opposition, Jeased the road to the Oregon Eailway and Naviga tion Company lor a guarantee rent of seven per cent upon its paid up stock for a period of ninety-six years, where upon Mr. Eeid withdrew from its management In 1884 tho Oregon Eailway and Navigation company repudiated its lease, as Mr. Eeid had predicted it would, upon the ground that the leg islature had not authorized the lease. Much litigation followed, and finally the court appointed a receiver. In the meantime the road had not been completed, and the grant of tho levee by the legislature had expired. Eesi dentsof the Willamette valley who would be much benefitted by tho com pletion of the road, now appealed to Mr. Eeid to again take hold of the en terprise. At their urgent solicitations he again applied to the legislature for another grant of tho forfeited levee, and undertook to complete the road from the place abandoned in 1881 to Portland. The bill which was introduced for that purpose led to another severe legislative contest, the city council of Portland and the Scotch owners of the former road being bitterly opposed to the scheme. Notwithstanding their opposition, however, the grant was passed in February, 1885. Mr. Eeid had previousry incorporated the Portland & Willamette Valley Eail way company, and at once com menced the construction of the road from the uncompleted portion built inJ880andl881, and had tho entire system finished teethe terminus on the levee in Portland m November, 1887. This road, in which Mr. Eeid has been so largely interested, has been of immeasurable benefit to the farmers residing in the fertile valley of the Willamette. Its existence is almost wholly due to his energy and presistence, and partly to the investment of his own capital. He is vice president of the road, and its successful operation Jand its direct benefit to Portland, have vindicated Mr. Eeid's judgment, and in a great measure silenced the oppo sition it originally encountered. He is a man of remarkable energy, and his capacity for work seems almost unlimited. Always active, ever-on-the-move and apparently never tired, it is a wonder to .his friends when ho finds time for needed rest. His main power seems to lie in the unconquerable spirit of persever ance with which his plans are pursued. If one path to a desired end is closed, he seeks another; bat the object on which ho has fixed his eye is never abandoned. He extracts pleasure out of the work, and appears most happy when organizing the business details of some great enterprise, really enjoy ing the task for its very complexit'. Mr. Eeid was married in December, 1867, to Agnes, daughter of Alexander Dunbar, of Nairn, Scotland. They have had five children, of whom two are sons, born in Scotland, now twenty and eighteen years old, aud three daugters born in Portland. m t Incoming Passengers. The steamship Oregon, Capt E.
