the present contract with h Portland
General adectrio Company for the light
; lug of the city is to be extended for one
i year if possible. This is the gist ot
what was done at yesterday's meeting
of the Board of Public Works after a
long discussion on the subject.
Chairman Mills, of the Board, reported
that Manager Goods, of the Electric
Company, had signified his willingness
to extend the contract for a period of
six. months or till July. L hut it was
thought by Mayor Wlll-ams and other
members that a full year's extension
.would be better, it being the general
opinion .that more satisfactory competi
tion could be secured if a full year were
given .for the construction of possible
new plants. .
Another ' matter which Caused the
Board to come to this decision was that
under the new charter, which is expected
to come into force about February next
the city would be enabled to enter into a
five years lighting contract, and the con
census of opinion was that much better
arrangements could thus be made.
MANX BAD BRIDGES.
The condition of many of the bridges
of the city were reported as bad by City
Engineer Elliott, and that official was
Instructed to put barricades across such
as were deemed to be in a dangerous
condition, the sign "Dangerous" not be
ing deemed sufficient protection for the
public. Mr. ' Elliott's report, which em
braced 30 bridges, showed that of that
number only two were in first class con
dition. The First street bridge over Mar
quam Gulch, he said, should be repaired
or closed at once. The Twelfth street
bridge, between Overton ana" Pettygrove,
the one no Alder, between Lownedale
and Chapman and the one on Sixteenth,
between Alder and Washington, he de
scribed mb being in a frightful condition,
and regarded them as being a menace to
the public safety.
The City Engineer was directed to pro
ceed with the construction of a roadway
six feet wide on either side of the rail
way tracks on the east approach of the
Madison street bridge, the estimated cost
being 600.

REMARKABLE GENIUS OF BLIND
FRANKIE RICHTER
A Fourteen Year Old Lad's Composition
"The Journal March;"
"The Journal March," a remarkable
composition of Frankle Rlchter, a blind
boy of 14, living in Portland, was played
by Slgnor De Oaprlo'e orchestra at the
Hotel Portland on Tuesday evening.
The Journal is about to present to its
readers and friends this march, which It
of unusual merit The remarkable genius
of Frankle BIchter, it has remained for
The Journal to discover and bring to
light.
" Competent critics have pronounced "The
Journal March" a masterpiece of com
position and indications are, that it will
become lnfmensely popular. When the
original manuscript was shown to Slgnor
De Caprio, the famous band and orchestra
director, he at once recognised its un
usual quality and proceeded-to arrange
to Introduce it into his repetolre. A band
and orchestra arrangement of the music
was made at his request and last even
ing, for the first time in public, the
strains of "The Journal March" were
wafted on the' air at the Portland Hotel
concert conducted by Slgnor De Caprio,
The piece made a decided "hit," and It is
certain that it could not have had a more
auspicious introduction at the hand of a
more skilled leader' than the talented' De
Caprio. )
"The Journal March" will be off the
press and ready for distribution shortly."
The Journal Is Indebted to the genious
and generosity of Master Rlchter, that It
Is able to present to Its friends a march
that Portland musicians will treasure
among their choicest numbers, and. 40 the
courtesy of Slgnor De Caprio for the
masterly rendition of the piece upon Its
first appearance In public.
It is not generally known that Port
land had such a remarkable musician and
composer of music whose wonderful gen
ius has probably not been equaled by any
of the widely advertised performers of
today. We read with reverence of the
grand old masters of the paBt, whose
maglo touch drew from the piano such
scul-entrancing harmoriyL- we read and
envy1 those whose fortune It was to lis
ten. We are prone to associate sUch woh
derful genius and talenA with the past
to 'take It for granted, as V matter of his
tory; yet we are. slow to recounlse or
even appreciate genius of the same order
in one of the present day.
We are inclined to associate great
musical talent with an abundance of hart
and a large capacity for being bored:
with a cranky disposition, which, by
courtesy, Is called the artistic tempera
men.t, and are hardly prepared to find
genius In any less grand a. personage.
But Nature follows no set "lines in bf
stowing her gifts, and in the person of
The Journal's discovery, Frankle Rlchter,
scarcely 14 years of age, she aeema to
have found delight in planting a grand
talent, perhaps In compensation for the
sore affliction which Is his, for he Is
blind absolutely sightless.
It wae the good fortune of a Journat
representative to be present at an Im
promptu recital given to a few friends
at, his home. Having groped his way to
the Instrument and-seated himself, he
turned his sightless eyes in tb direction
of his visitors and asked )p.he most
simple, unaffected manner, "What would

RED MEN ELECT OFFICERS
Interring Excursion of the Visitors to Oregon
City Falls Last Night.
Yesterday afternoon the Improved Or
der of Red Men elected great chiefs for
the ensuing year. 'The following are the
successful candidates:
Great sachem, L. B. Reeder of Pendle
ton. Great senior sagamore, G. M. Orton of
Portland.
Great junior sagamore, H. L. Henderson
of Astoria.
Great prophet, Dr. S. Lewis King of
Portland. '
Great chief Of records, William C. A.
Pohl of Astoria.
Great keeper of wampum, J. H. Grlbel
of Portland.
When nominations were In order for
great sachem, , the mighty chief of the
tribe, many eloquent speeches were made
by the several candidates' admirers. The
qualifications 'of each were dwelt upon'
at length. Trophies of the hunt were
cited and the numerous scalps dangling
from the belts were pointed to with pride.
It Was shown how they kept their fire
sides provided with venison and maize,
and in the chase for government rations
they had no equal. Their allotment of
land was the choicest on the reservation.
In this respect they laid their palefaced
brother in the evening shadow. Blankets
and regular annuities were their distin
guishing features, and as they had been
following the system during the snows of
many winters they had become highly
proficient in the art.
Tales of their wonderful valor and
chivalry were" spun with an fndlan sim
plicity that carried conviction. Multitudi
nous were the mountain lions and
crouching cougars that they never slew.
They had beejTon the warpath, but never
with the maidens ,,they adored. Their
brand of firewater was always the best

might embarrass him by selecting some
thing he would be unable to render, sug
gested that he play from his own ohoioe,
"Very well." hs said, "111 play yon one
of my own compositions."
For a moment his Angers wandered soft
ly, almost loVlnrly, over the keyboard;
then ha plunged into the grandest march
the Writer has ever heard. Surely such
music was never written. There could
be no question In the mind of any listener
that the production was original. Such
execution such harmony such wondrous
combinations of tone-such expression
could be produced only by a master ot
tbe instrument, and the conception of
such muslo could only be in the mind of
a genius. Tones so expressive, so real.
harmony so perfect, could only come from
the very soul of muslo Itself, from an
inexhaustible fount of harmony, where
each note gives birth to others and pours
a flood of entrancing melody forth to
carry the listener to the point of ee
stacy. Other selections followed. Selec
tions from operas that are masterpieces
of composition and that require a mas
ter's execution were played by him with
ease, and to which he added harmony and
counter-harmony, producing an effect
that the boldest performer would hesitate
to attempt, even though he felt capable
of doing it. ' ,
His rendering ot the sform scene from
the opera "William Tell" was beyond de
scription; words fail to convey any idea.
There is no such thing as comparison,
for there Is nothing to compare it to.
Under his magla touch It becomes some
thing new original there is nothing like
it.
By way of recreation for himself, and,
as he said, fun for his guests, he had
his xylophone brought in and played yes,
think of It utterly sightless, and he ren
dered difficult Selections, one after an
other, without mistake or discord. One
reiharkable thing about him is that It
seems impossible for him to produce dis
cord. Every sound that reaches his ear
finds In his mind a harmonious sound.
He telU the time of day by the sound
of locomotive whistle, anil culls the river
steamers by name when he hears the
notes of their steam whistles. Any note
or combination of notes struck on the
piano or upon any musical instrument is
instantly and correctly told by him. He
writes upon a typewriter with a speed
that Is equal to that of the average
operator, and the following is an exact
reproduction of a note he wrote In the
presence of the writer and handed h'.m
an a keepsake:
"Music Is the art of the prophets. It
calms the agitation of the soul, and puts
the ilevll to V. rht."
The talent of this musical wonder Is not
acquired such genius cannot be taught.
His Is a gift from heaven. If the writer
wire a believer In the theory of relncar
nation it would not be a hard matter to
Imajrlne that in the body of this frail
boy were the reincarnated spirits of Mo
eart, Bach. Beethoven, Lisit. At the age
of 7 years he appeared before critical
Chicago audiences, and by his brilliant
work dlxarmed criticism, and won most
feiterlng applause. During the lat few
years the boy has been growing so rapid
ly that his strength has not been equal
to the task of public appearances, and
the world has heard nothing of him. But
the time Is not far distant when his fame
will ring around the world.

Balloting was proceeded with and the
result was announced with a warwhonn

EXCITR8I0N LAST NIGHT.
The excursion last night given by th"
Past Sachems' Association to Willamette
Falls In honor of the Great Council of
Oregon was an affair long to be remem
bered by the namesakes of the red men
of the forest. There were about 150 pas
sengers on the steamer Albany, which
arrived at the falls about 9 o'clock.
The Vide up the river was thoroughly
enjoyed, the ever-changing and pictur
esque scenery strongly appealing to the
fancy. Arriving at Oregon City, a grand
and fascinating sight awaited the noble
red men from the Portland lodge. The
rocks below the mighty cataract were
brilliantly llluminpd with campfires of
the braves who dwell near the adjoining
cliffs, and they manipulated the up-to-date
fireworks In a manner sufficient to
bring many a warwhoop from their
tribesmen down the river. Around a
glowing campfire about 23 dusky braves,
with biasing fagots clutched in their
grasp, danced In primitive fashion, mhiin
skyrockets went shooting through the air
thick and fast, u hen the dance began
to lag the boat bucked down to the land
ing and the warriors went on shore for
a little stroll among the towering wig
wams, wherein dwelt their friends and
kinsmen whom they had tint mm ttw
many moons. Then they ambnrtoxi in
Jihelr swift oanes and paddled down the
laugning .water, reaching their rearv.

DIDIf'T APPROVE
Of the Prodosed Site
for Volunteers Moh
ument. An ordinance to allow the erection ot
the Oregon Volunteers monument on
Sixth street, betweenlMorrlson and Yam
hill, was defeated In the City Council
yesterday. But Uttle discussion waa had
on the matter, it being the general opin
ion that more satisfactory sites could bs
found and that the space could ill bt
spared.
The only other business was the pass
ing of an ordinance providing for the
Construction of a sewer in Commercial
street and making an appropriation of
M84.86 therefor and the granting of S2000
to the fire department for the purchase
of new material.
The matter of the repairs needed on
Hawthorne avenue provoked considerable
discussion, but as the Council had no
power to make an appropriation for the
purpose ths matter was referred to the
Board of Publio Works on a suggestion
by Auditor Devlin, and Mr. Bentley was
appointed a committee of- one to see what
action could be taken in this matter.

Railroad Discrimination.
W. A. Mears, of the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce transportation commit
tee feels that this city has a grievance
against the railroads. He claims unjust
discrimination in the matter of distribu
tive rates, and declares that when an
effort has been made to have this rem
edied, the railroad companies have
adopted sharp practices, by one playing
against the other.
As an example in point, Mr. Mears says
that where an alleged discrimination In
favor of the Palouse country exists, if
the O.. R. & N. Company's officials are
asked regarding It,' they claim that the
fault lies entirely with the Great North-
em and .Northern Pacific, As a result.
there is a deadlock, and nothing is done.
Mr. Mears says that by reason of the
abuses he claims to have found, the dis
tributive territory of the Jobbers is grow
ing smaller. He advocates constant agi
tation of this matter until ths difficulty is
remedied. '

are hard to digest that's why so
business men rush away with ''Just
sup of coffee.'"
ATLAS
OATS
put a different face on 'the breakfast tel
ble. Toothsome and nutritious, they tlm
ulate the digestive organs, and after a
breakfast with Atlas Oats as a founda
tion a man feels like doing a day's
work.
The reason is you get the oat and not
the husk..
Your grocer will sell you a package,
and he'll give you the money back If you
don't like 'em better than any breakfast
food you ever tried.
