The new Portland Tree swimming baths are ready to open, for public Inspection, and already hundreds of small boys and other curious people have been to exam ine them. . - The baths are located on the eaat end of the Madison street bridge, about 60 feet out In the rivet, s, .stairway from the approach of the bridge connecting the baths with, the shore.

It Was months aga that the former started a subscmption paper, putting down hie name for 6600. Blnce then both gentlemen have worked ceaselessly on the project, and can well feel proud of their efforts when they turn the hatha over to the public tomor row. THE NEWSBOYS FIND "Dutch,f and "Kaney" See For- ' tune Smile. Dutch" and "Kanney,' two wide awake newsboys who are not known by any other names, believed this tnprninf that fortune had smiled upon them at Inst, and that they had discovered a. gen uine silver mine right in the heart of the city. r ' While at the foot of Washington street at an early hour, crying their wares at usual, they spied lying in the edge Of the river a huge pile of shining things strongly resembling silver half-dollars. They Boon had them in their eager grasp, and at once began to compute their new ly gotten wealth. It amounted to about 115. - - . The money, however, turned out to be spurious, and had evidently been thrown away by an amateur counterfeiter. They were of the right sise and proportion, with the proper engravings and trim, mlngs, but they were UghJ and. did not possess the right ring of the true article. They had been prodoced undoubtedly; by a' moulding maohine. . . Those who examined the spurious cola pronounced theconterfelteTS to be clum sy operators,' who are not likely to Make a success at their chosen profession. CLARKE SEES MITCHELL.

Geer's Good Ad vice to the Com " monwealth. In Governor (leer's address ot welcome to the A. O. UJ W. representatives at Al bany yesterday, there were some very amusing things whiuh happened, that somehow failed to impress the eagle-eyed reporters but which make good reading matter. The Governor dewlt upon Ore gon's resources. He jiald that the state was especially favored in climate. He admitted that California and Washington had outstripped the state in heralding themselves to the world. Had Oregon not been so modest, ,sbe might have stood on the same ground'0' day. The habit of Callfornluns in push Ing forward the interests of their state, he said, reminded him ot a story. One time a Callfornian was visiting in an Eastern city. He saw a funeral ptoces- alon draw up in front ot the church. Af ter a prayer and hymn, .the parson said that he was under some embarrassment, in that he did not know the deceased. He asked If anyone present, ' Who had been acquainted with the dead, would speak upon his merits. No one answered for a time. Fnially the man from Call' fomia arose and claimed attention. Said he: . . ULORIOTJB CLIMATE. "Ladles and Gentlemen : I did not have the honot of acquaintance with our de ceased Hfrother, and therefore can not say anything upon his life. I can not allow the time to go to waste, however, and take this occasion to call attention of all present to rtbe glorious tclimate of Call f6rnia." He was not allowed to proceed. The lestton to be drawn of course, front- a'I this Is that Oregon should not lose an opportunity to advertise herself. Then Supreme Master Hurwlck got in his work by remarking: - "The best part of it all is," said the Supreme Master, "this story about the Callfornian Is ail true. Indeed, W have with us today the gentleman himself who did not forget to push the interests of his state. Allow me to introduce to you Mr. Jones of California." and he motioned forward one ot the members of the dele- gatlon from that state. , . Of course this was not true, and. Mr, Jones' was not the man, but he was will ing to assume the responsibility, and so he arose and gracefully bowed In ad mission. f Street Committee Vote for What Suburban Company Wants. The street committee of the Cfty Coun ell yesterday afternoon voted favorably on the proposed ordinance granting a franchise over certain city streets fot the' West Side & Suburban Railroad Company. The projected line will b built between Portland and Hlllsboro. As amended, the ordinance reads as 'to the essential features as follows: "Down Lovejoy to Twenty-fifth, down Twenty-fifth to Northrup, down North rup, to Twelfth, up . Twelfth to Couch and down Couch to First." As intro duced it read "down Couch -to Seventh, up Seventh to Pine and down Pine to First." The company will also, In ad dition to the usual license, pay a per centage tax to the city. The . firs't it years it will be required to pay 1 per cent of its gross earnings: the second 10, lft per cent, and the last five, i per cent The franchise will be for IS years, in stead of 30. The ordinance will likely be considered favorably by the Council at tomorrow's meeting. - 80ME OTHER BUSINESS. Other business came before the com mittee as follows: .

The "new four-story building on East Morrison street, which is built and oc cupied by Studebaker Bros. Co. North west. Is nearing completion. Owing to the strike the floor is not finished and the glass Is not In the front, but, re gardless of this inconvenience, you will find the full, force there and doing busi ness, and a business which, in the ve hicle line Is a credit to Portland and to the Northwest. Their . large stock, which consists of vehicles and harness exclusively, . compares very favorably with larger stocks in this line carried by any of the larger houses in the East ern 'states. The Studebaker is recognized and chosen by all Who 'Wish a smart turn out, and one that will stand wear and usage and still retain Its beauty, grace and elegance. The designs are exclu sive and the elegant appearance of these vehicles Is no surprise to those Who know that this concern has the largest corps of special designers of any vehicle works in the worla. It 1s a noticeable fact that 60 per cent of the winning vehicles at the Hunt Club races and the races of tue River side Driving Club at Irvlngton were Stu debaker vehicles. Wants County Road. .
