STREET IMPROVEMENT
STEADILY PROGRESSES
The improvement of the city's streets
is steadily progressing. The Reliance
Construction Co. is almost through
with the laying of the paving. Only
few blocks now remain unfinished. K.
(). Hall has finished the grading of Oak
street and Cascade avenue, and the
macadam has been laid on the greater
tiortion of Cascade. Residents of the
improved sections will be glad, to see
the completion of the paving and the
macadamized streets. The dust that
has hitherto been an inconvenience
during the summer months will be for
the most part done away with here
after. Third street has not yet been
touched, having been left awaiting a
decision of the property holders in the
paving district as to whether or noi
llassam or oil bound macadam should
be UHed. Tuesday afternoon it was
definitely decided to place llassam nit
this street in strict accordance with
the ordinance calling for the improve
ment. LAWYERS PLAYENTIIIE
ROLL IN LAW SUIT
A unique case, The Edward Thomp
son Hook Co. vs. Sam W. Stark, came
up for hearing before Judge W. L.
iirrinhaw and a jury here Monday af
ternoon, when the attorneys furnished
the entire testimony as well as the
argument. The book company, which
was seeking judgment against Attor
ney Stark for alleged nonpayment of
8 notes of 25 each given about 10
years ago in payment for law books as
well as for interest and attorneys fees
for collection. The company, which
was represented by Harold A. Wilkin,
a young attorney from Portland,
claimed that Mr. Stark had only paid
the sum of $10.5 on his notes, and
asked to present depositions from ('Ul
cers of the company showing this.
However, the depositions were irregu
lar, and it seemed that the defendant
, attorney would win the ease on account
of technical defects of the plaintilT
company's attorney. However, Mr.
Wilkins ottered to take the stand and
give the same testimony as wan con
tained in the useless depositions. This
was allowed, and he was sworn and
gave his evidence and whs cross exam
ined by Mr. Stark. And then vice
versa.
The jury brought in, a verdict for the
plaintiff for the entire amount.
Tramp Stabs Krakeman
F. W. Kramer, a brakemmi on the
eastbound Soo-Spokane passenger train
passing through this city Monday night
at 10:55, who had t een badly stabbed
by a tramp while the train was still in
Multnomah county, whh left at the
Cottage hospital in this city. The
wound was a severe one, the knife
in the hands of the tramp having pene
trated the young man's lungs near the
heart, and he was in a very faint con
dition from loss of blood when he
reached the city.
J. Prauer, a Roumanian, was the
name of the man wielding the knife.
The train stopped just this siilo of
Troutdiilu on accuunt of engine trouble
and it was discovered that five or six
tramps were ruling the blind baggage
and on the pilot of the locomotive.
They were ordered oil and all but
Prauer complied good naturedly. The
wounded brakemau. who is in a serious
condition at the Cottage hospital, says
he niUHt have brushed against Prauer
as he was coming from the baggage
cur, where he had gone after some
materials for renairinir the locomotive.
Ho was struck with the knife without
warning.
The Roumanian escaped in the woods
but was caught Tuesday at Cascade
Locks and brought here, where lie was
positively identified.
As soon as he was taken into the
room of the injured man, he pointed
his finger at him crying. "There is the
man who cut me." Prauer has been
taken to Portland, where he will be
held and prosecuted. In case of death
of the brakeman he will be prosecuted
for munier.

Lights on Night of Fourth Handsome
The lights of the city on the night
of the Fourth added greatly to the at
tractiveness of the town. Wires had
been strung across the streets that are
frequented and many colored bulbs
twinkled as in a carnival land. The
lighting fixtures were furnished by
Alva L. Day, who sjient several days
of hard work in order to make the cel
ebration more artistic.
A S the royal subject of gossip, ru-
f Dior aud plots the little Grand
- Duke Alexis of Russia figures
as the boy of mystery and ro
mance. Principally the mystery re
lates to the physical aud mental con
dition of the little fellow, who Is now
eight years old.
If the czarevitch Is a hopeless crip
ple with tuberculosis of the hip, which
la generally believed, he can never
take the throne on the death of his
father, the czar.
Recently a highly romantic story as
to the royal boy was published III
over the world and was quickly de
nied. According to the repudlat4 re
port, the czar sent to Berlin and sum
moned Dr. Janes Israel, one of the
greatest surgeons In the world, to per
form an operation on the boy's hip.
Beforo he would come, H was report
ed, the famous surgeon demanded a
fee of $2.r.,(KK) and a royal dispensa
tion for the Jewish race. The dispen
sation was to be that of placing the
Jews of Kiev and Odessa, who had
been long persecuted, on an equal,
free and unmolested footing with the
Christians. The report stated that the
TBS CZAKIVITCH.
czar quickly agreed to both the de
mands of the physician, and the oper
ation was successfully performed.
Dr. Israel himself Is credited with
denying the romantic story, declaring
he did not perform any such opera
tion.
Previous to the report of the opera
tion a rumor gained wide credence
that the little czarevitch had been
stabbed frightfully by an assassin on
board his father's yacht, the Stnudart.
This later was denied.
Now a new heir presumptive to the
throne Is being discussed.
High society In Russia Is accustom
ing Itself to the Idea of accepting
Grand Duke Dmitri Paulovlteu, tweu-ty-slj
years old, a nephew of the pres
ent czar, ns heir presumptive to tho
throne. He has not heretofore been
generally mentioned ns possible suc
cessor to the crown, and his nuuw
conies as n complete surprise to every
one except those who by reason of
their position either belong to the court
circle or have close relations with it
No Cripple May B Czar.
The physical disability of the little
czarevitch Is now recognized as com
plete among nil the Intelligent classes
of the empire. The dnngers and dis
advantages of having a crippled sover
eign are understood In nil states, but
a crippled autocrat of all the Russliis,
wltb its great empires and peculiar
problems. Is unthinkable. It Is now
known that the czarevitch has tuber
culosis of the hip joint ns well as
hemophilia, the hereditary disease to
which a considerable number of
princes have been subject and which Is
characterized by excessive bleeding
from the slightest wound. The czare
vitch Is doomed to lifelong Invalidism.
The path to the throne has been
cleared for Grand Duke Dmitri by a
remarkable sequence of family occur
rences. The names of the Grand Duke
Michael and Grand Duke Cyril are
those which have been most mentioned
In connection, with the succession since
the news of the young czarevitch's
condition began to filter out from the
palace to the public. Yet all the time
the court circle has recognized that,
barring the unforeseen, Grand Duke
Dmitri will be otlKlally recognized as
heir presumptive.
Grand Duke Dmitri Is the ouly son
of Grand Duke Paul, the youngest
brother of the late lOmperor Alexander
111. Grand Duke Michael, the czarV-
only brother, would naturally be heir
presumptive now, as be was during the j
time preceding ttie birth of the czar j
evtteh aud when the czar was having
a succession of daughters, were It not .
for one of those family occurrences '
meutioued which nre so fortunate for
Dmitri. The fact Is that Michael has 1
liefore announced and now repents that
he has married under the prescribed
forms of the orthodox church Miue. ;
Seheremetiefsky, divorced wife of a ;
Russian cavalry ollicer. He has two
children by her and has formally re- i
liouuced his right of succession.
Tennis Men to Enter State Tournament i
Hood River will send three represen-1
tatives to the State Tennis Tournament

Multnomah eluh courts. Hal. McCall, !
son in law of Thomas Lawson, whose
