THE ARCHITECTURAL TOUR.
| Mr.. ElweH and the Party Who Will Do
the Cathedral Towns on Bicycles.

On the Both of this month party Of
wheelmen, chiefly architects who will
visit the Old World for sketching pur-
poses, will sail from New York per
steamer Veendam, of the Royal Neither
lands line for Europe. Messrs. F. A..
Elwell and j. G. Stevens of this city are
the projectors of this tour, which differs
mainly from the other European tours
which Mr. Elwell has conducted in the
fact that France will be the only country
visited, and the itinerary has been SO ar
ranged as to pass through about all of
the famous cathedral towns of the sister
republic across the sea, from which
quaint bits of architecture the tourists
believe they will be able to derive con-
siderable inspiration-and the route has
also been laid out SO as to make each
days run easy and short. 1t is certainly
an ideal tour, and will undoubtedly be
rarely enjoyed by the participants. The
following is a complete list of those who
will go,-23 all told, which will be seen
to include several from Portland, who
will start from this city on Wednesday,
for New York:
Louis c. Buckley, St. Louis, Mo.
William E. Evans, Jamaica Plains, Mass.
Frank E. Elwell, Portland, Me.
Edward H. Elwell. Jr., Portland, Me.

The party expect to reach Boulogne
August 9Th, and after resting one day
proceed to Amiens, st. Quentin, Coucy-
le-Chateau (where is one of the finest
ruins in Europe, Senlis, St. German
and Paris, remaining there one week.
From thence they will go to Versailles
and see the magnificent palace OF Louis
XIV, and to Fontainebleau and see the
grand palace in which Napoleon dwelt,
and in which is still carefully preserved
the table upon which he signed his abdi-
cation. Orleans will be the next object
i've point, from which the route will lay
for several days along the banks of the
river Loire, region replete with inter-
esting ruins. Reaching the coast at ST.
Malo, the course will then lay northward
toward Havre, and then to Rouen, with
it's famous cathedral. After a few days
in London the party will disband and
members be free to follow individual de-
sires, either to travel farther or return
home. London will not be reached I'M
til the latter part of September.

PORTLAND. July 26. 1892.
II F this is not your first
season at the beach,
Of course your ex-
perience Of other years
has taught you that hiring
a bathing suit at a public
bath-house is a nuisance,
a bother, a needless ex-
pense and altogether un-
wise; but if it is to be
your first summer Of surf
bathing let US give you a
bit Of advice, have your
own bathing suit and let
i. be a good one made Of
wool. Don't depend on
getting hired ones and
taking the chances Of
discomfort, annoyance,
and possibly disease.
The bath suits we sell
are made in our own
work-room, cut by the
most approved and latest
patterns and put together
by skilled workers. They
are made from good quail
ity, strong, wool fannels,
daintily trimmed, and with
a fit and style to them
that is never seen in the
ordinary ''ready-made'
goods sold in most stores.
We make b thing
clothes to order in a day.
There never was any
thing like the showing Of
Pottery in the basement
before, there isn't another
such assortment Of Japan

A large shipment Of

opened and will be ready
in the basement this
morning. The prices are
small for such beauty and
and value.

as long as he can get such work done
at home he has no use for them. No,
you don't catch Bill sending to
Portland for job work because he can
save four bits, not much. He believes
in allowing the home printer to make
a living, and he does not expect him
to do work at Portland prices any
more than the merchant of Weiser
can sell goods at Portland prices.
He believes that sending away for
work is nothing short of extending
an invitation to the printer to send to
Portland for his provisions. "Don't
sond your money away, keep it at
home" is Bills motto, and it is a
good one. There are Others here

There is now pending in the U. 8.
circuit court at Portland, an important
suit which involves the question
whether Snake river, between Salmon
Falls and Burnt river, is navigable
stream. About two years ago William
Bros. built a small steamboat at
Payette for the purpose of mining
the low bars of the river, and also for
the purpose Of freighting Gu the river
between Salmon Falls and Burnt
river. 1t is know that there are
three railroad bridges which across
Snake river, at Nyssa, Payette and
Huntington. The owners of the
steamboat now bring suit against the
railroad company for $50, 900
damages, and pray the court for an
order to require the railroad company
to put draws in the bridges. These
boat owners claim that by reason Of
these bridges having no draws they
were prevented from moving up and
down the river to work the low bars
by secret process used in their boat,
and consequently they nre damaged
in the sum Of 100000. They also
claim that their process of mining is
secret, and they claim that they can
make 5000 day by handling about
$50 tons Of sand and gravel each day.
In answer to this state Of facts the
railroad company takes the position
that Snake river is not navigable
stream, and especially between the
points named. They also claim that
there is no process known to mining
men by which any machine can
handle $50 tons of Snake river sand
and dirt day and get 1900 day
out Of it. They further claim that no
boat in either high or low water can
pass up or down Snake river over the
rocky reefs at Odds Ferry OF at
Walters Ferry, or at the mouth of the
Bruneau or anywhere above their.
They also claim that they should not
be made to put draws in their bridges
as there is no general trade or traffic
on the river to justify the enormous
expense of putting in these draws.
The past two weeks the respective
parties to this suit have been taking
dispositions at Weiser, Payette and
Caldwell, and the case is to come up
for trial at Portland this month.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs are
Williams & Wood of Portland,
while the railroad company is
represented by w. G. Cotton, the
general attorney at Portland, and by
Vic Brierbower, who prepared the
evidence for the party. Baker Dem

We should like to see the SIGNAL
get reasonable amount (say 5000,
for publishing the delinquent tax-list
although we can not help thinking an
injustice has unintentionally been
done the Citizen by letting the SIGNAL
do the work without advertising for
bids. The commissioners are not
exactly censurable, however as they
labored under the impression that
they had binding contract to have
county printing done at starve-to-
death price. Citizen.
We believe, land not ourselves
alone, either) that the commissioners
are fully censurable for an act worthy
of common bunco steerer BY
what manner Of reasoning they can
suppose that because they have at
some time made contract with
certain persons to do certain work for
a pittance, and when the said con-
tractors have left the state without
making arrangements for its fulfill
ment, that any one else whom they
chose to select to do the work can be
held to contract made with the other
parties and with which the performer
of the work had nothing to do, beats
our comprehension. 1t will not
stand law and if the commissioners
had good common sense they would
know it. But, as their actions seem
to show, they had it in for the SIGNAL
regardless Of right or justice, or even
at the expense Of lawsuit paid for
by the tax payers.
