The New York Herald a short time
ago had the following about a Portland
boy, formerly of this city:
The latest rominder of tho "Ameri
can Invasion" of Paris is a sign which
appeared for the first time in front of
1-44 boulevard du Moutparuasse, yester
day. It read; "The Popcorn Shop."
The establishment was formally oponed
in, tho afternoon, when tea was served
for the first time. The shopkeeper is
Mr. Ford Tarpley, of Portland, Or., a
young writer of short stories, who has
been in Paris since last December.
Just within the window, in plain view
of all passers-by, a man in whito cap
and apron presided at the "popper."
The grains cracked and jumped about
just as they do in America the corn is
imported, of course and when the ker
nels were well roasted and were yet
hot, salt was sprinkled nnd melted but
ter poured over them in tho old, ap
proved style.
Popcorn is not the only American
delicacy" served at "The Popcorn
Shop." There is real American candy
such as fudge, the delight of ever)'
schoolgirl, and there aro salted almonds
and other Yankee "dishes." Tea is to
bo served every afternoon at 35 cen
times a cup, and there will be a Walsh
rarobit "spread" every night. Tho
shop is to remain open tijl midnight.
"I waB moved by a twofold purpose
in opening this shop," said Mr. Tarpley
to a Herald correspondent. "I am
writing stories for American magazines
but while in Paris I am studying also,
and I expect the business to be of as
sistance. Then, like many other Amer
icans who are in Europe, my mouth has
been watering for popcorn. Situated in
the Americau district of tho Latin quar-
tor, I believe the shop will bo well pa
tronized. Later, I may introduce other
attractions. I hope to serve genuine
American pancakes here before long."
The interior of "Tho Popcorn Shop"
is prettily decorated. Miss George
Hanks, tho cartoonist, has contributed
several posters, which are of the post
impressionistic order. Miss Bertha Hol
ly has decorated candy boxes and lamp
shades and other ornaments. The sign
in front was painted by Miss Jossie
King. All these artists, like the pro
prietor, the popcorn and the candy re
cipes, are American.

Salem Will Have Many New
Homes Ready for Occu
pancy in Few Weeks.
EXTENSIVE WORK IS ON
Railroads Are Helping to Keep Things
Lively With Improvements ' to
Track and Structures.
The construction of all class of
buildings in the Capital City this week
has progressed rapidly notwithstanding
the uncertain weather and the rains of
yesterday afternoon and evening. The
slight rain fall yesterday had a ten
dency to spur the builders to sneedv
action, on the dwelling houses- now
under construction especially. At least
two hundred new dwelling houses are
under construction at present and( al-
tnougb. the building permits issued at
tho city hall this week have been few,
it is believed that more than fifty
new homes will be erected before the
rainy season sets in.
The improvement which has been aa
ing on at the Ye Liberty theater for
tlie past few weeks, will soon ba com
pleted nnd that popular show house
will open up in a bran new suit within
a few more weeks.
Makes Improvements.
The Oregon Electric Railway Com
pany is making- extensive improve
ments to its freight house and hop
warehouse in Salem. A lonor exten
sion is boing built on the north end
of the freight house to accommodate
the local shippers while plans are be
ing drawn up to cover the hop ware
house platforms at tho intersection of
front and Center streets with a sub-
tautial awning. This is being done for
the purpose of protecting the hops
which are generally delivered during
the fall and which would eot wot from
the rains that generally prevail durino-
hop hauling season. .
It is reported hero that the O. E.
company intends to make many other
important improvements and extensions
to its shipping service in Salem this
summer, but just what they are has
not been given out as yot. The com
pany officials slate, however, that its
shipping facilities will be eittendod
not only in Salem but all along tho
line and that much work is ahead for
tho corporation before next Septem
ber,
Southern Pacific Busy.
Whilo most of the work is con
fined outside of the city, the Southern
Pacific company is doing extensive im
proving also this summer. A new depot
is to bo built in West Salem and it is
rumored that the passenger depot in
Salem is to be either remodeled or torn
down entirely and a new station house
built in its place.
The S. P. is also altering its track
on 12th street in a fine manner and
instead of tho old, shrunken and rouuh
roadbed which has caused many a
wagon and auto spring to break, a
nice level track will bo in its place be
fore long."
The company will be asked at some
future date to improve its switches and
station house at the stao fairgrounds.
The present facilities for handling the
crowds at tho state fair have become
nearly exhausted so large has this state
in-t lt:il!ou grown. The siding whii-u
leads into the grounds is hardly long
enough to accommodate tho exhibitors
who bring trainload after traiulond of
stock and machinery to the annual
fair, and it is suggested by many of
the shippers that an additional side
track be installed before the coming
week of the fair.
In keeping with the general work of
cleaning up the city, the S. P. has
cleaned up its freight yards, railroad
tracks in the city and its grounds
thereabout in a nice style.
State Bushing Work.
Although there has not been Buff i-
nt fundi to carry on the work as
speedily as possible, the construction
of the interior of tho new stuto cap
ital annex is being rushed at the pres
ent time. The tiling, which is being
purchased from a local concern is be
ing laid on the floors and nsl for the
construction of the walls and that por
tion of the big job will soon be com
pleted. It is the hope of the state officials
to make the new annex one of the
most attractive buildings in the .tate

Just where these rumors originated
cannot be ascertained by Engineer

wholly off color and that the person

is talking about. Furthermore, he
states that insofar as the surveyors are
concerned, several of the men have

Much , Work Ahead.
That surveying work is not the only

The company has suspended no oper

Should Man Lie

Question of Whether Attack Should Be

of Sacramento Girls.
UNITED PRESS LIMED WIRE.
San Francisco, Aue. 2. If a man
knows anything to the detriment of a
woman 's fame, should he tell the truth
or "lie like a gentlemanf"
Rivalling in interest the Dicm-Cami-
netti white .lave case., which gave it
Dirtn, this question today is attracting
no little attention throughout Califor
nia and newspapers from one end of
the state to the other are editorially
iquaoonng over the ethic, of the poser.
Young men from Sacramento and San
Francisco, it' i. reported, are to be call
ed to attack the caracter of Marsha
Warrington when the white slavery
case against Maury I. Dines of Sacra-
mento opens here on Tuosday next be-
rore United States Judge Van Fleet.
On publication of the report, the Santa
Cruz News editorially hoped that the
men, u summoned, would "lie like gen
tlemen," saying that if the airl'. name
was blackened it would be done gratu
itously and that no man should "be
permitted to hide behind the .kirt. of
any girl." Immediately the Stockton

purpose can be served by the crime of
perjury." Other papers joined in the
dispute and the battle wa. on.

Five-Tear-Old Oirl Bitten by Strange
Dog Which Dashes Into Yard and
Wounds Her.
While playing in front of one of the
neighbor, 'at the cornor of 17th and
Bellevue street, yesterday afternoon,
what was first supposed to have beon
a mad dog, rushed at the 5-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Molvin Bur-
dick and soverely bit her on the calf
of the log. The child wa. hurried to
the officos of Dr. Clements, who cau
terized and drossed the wound, and, it
is believed that no serious complica
tions will result.
Just whether or not the dog was in
fected with hydrophobia has not been
ascertained by Mr. Burdick, nor can ho
locate the animal .today. It is said,
howovor, that the dog, just prior to
attacking the girl, was fighting in the
street, with anothor dog, and while
the littlo Burdick girl was playing in
a nearby yard, one of the brutes broke
away from the goneral mix-up in the
street, and, dashing right for the girl,
sunk its teeth in her leg.
Tho dog appeared to be half spitz and
half mongrel, according to the nearest
description ascertained, and it seems
that no one in Mr. Burdick'. neighbor
hood owns such a beast.
The muzzling ordinance should have
been passed at tho last meeting of the
city council. Instead, it wa. niireon-
holed. A report should be made noxt
Monday night, and no further dolay
occasioned hy a couple of property

San Francisco, Aug. 2. That the
California stuto railroad commission,

go express rati to such an extent that
it will bo impossible for the company
to make moro than 10 per cent on its
investment, will take no action against
the smaller California expros. compa

John Kshloman, prosidout of the com
mission. Investigation showed the
company last year made a profit o(
$842,000 or M per cent, on an Invest
ment of only $013,000.
"Action against tho smaller compa
nies," said Kshloman, "is unnecessary
for several reasons. First, the Wells
Fargo company has hail a monopoly of
more than BO per cent of the exproes
business in this state. In the second
place, competition will force tho small
er companies to moot the new rate Bet
by the commission."
Tho now system of rate, ordered in

establishes 3,000,000 new rates.

the docision was not as far-reaching as

"The parcel, post," he added, "al
