TO IMPROVE CIRCLE STREET
Board of Works Lets the Contract, but
1t Will Not Be Done Until Spring.
Question Of Ownership Of the Old South Mar
ket Space Delays Paving-Tomlinso
Hall Rents-Minor Affairs.

Some time ago the Board of Public Works
received bids for paving with asphalt Cir
Gle street and parts of Meridian and Mar
ket streets. The board considered the bids
too high. or at least said 81, and they were
referred to the city engineer for investiga-
tion. There were but two bidders. the
Western and the Warren-Scharf COM
panies. and yesterday the contracts were
given to the former company. The prices
at which the contracts were awarded are
as follows: Circle street. Sl0.1S foot on
each side; Market. from the Circle to Penn
sylvania street, $1,000; Market. from Circle
to Illinois. sl0.15; Meridian. from Washing
ton street to the Circle, 5000; Meridian.
from the Circle to New York street, s10.1a
The roadway OF each street is to be fifty
feet wide. An artificial curb 10 to be used.
which, paving companies claim. accounts
for the increase in the bids. The W ork
will not be done until next spring.

eft is somewhat of qualification to find, after
period of time, that o judgment or opinion on
the merits Of an article Is affirmed. The Bald
win piano, which this paper Endorsed severa
years ago. when 10 first made its appearance,
and again last year, upon o third examination
confirms all we have published of It 1t Is de-
veloping piano, the capacity for growth in quail
ity being demonstrated by the fact that 1t is bet
ter now than ever before. There is evolution in
1t and this cannot be said of every piano. The
output of Baldwin pianos for 1892 will exceed
700. and this means 700 pianos of excellent
quality in Tone In touch, and particularly In case
and woodwork,
One word more about the Baldwin piano and
that is the case design. This is something en-
tirely out of the ordinary or regular design Of .
piano case, the construction being based upon
new and symmetrical outlines most attractive
to the eye. The russes and pilasters are strictly
original. and the whole conformation of the
case highly attractive throughout 1t is sug-
gestive Of the fact that Western piano manufact-
urers are not going to copy Eastern cases."-

South- Street Pavement.

The Eouth.strset brick pavement, or
rather the part of it which is not paved.
caused considerable discussion among the
members of the Board of Public Works
yesterday morning. The street is paved
except between Pennsylvania and Della
ware streets. When the contract was
awarded this fifty-foO strip was not in
cluded, because not only the city but the
gas company aud the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company lay claim to it. and the
board did not care TO order it paved. not
knowing to whom to charge assessments.
Not long ago superintendent Darlington
verbally agreed with the board to pay the
cost of the improvement and retain the
ground. but asked time to confer With
other officials of the road. He has not yet
informed the board what conclusion the
company has arrived at. Yesterday the
matter was scussed, and the board prac-
tically agreed to order the improvement
and let the courts decide who should be
assessed.

So far as the foreign market is con-
cerned if all raw materials were free the
United States manufacturer would not
be in one whit better position to captur-
the markets of the world than he is at
present. Under the draw back provisions
of the Mckinley law all materials are
practically free when the manufactured
article is exported. Thus ninety mine
per cent of the duty paid by the manu-
facturer on the wool of which an article
is made in whole or in part, is paid back
to the manufacturer when the article is
exported. To this extent all raw mater
ials are free to the exporter. If in any
case American products cost more than
foreign ones, the higher price paid for
American labor is alone responsible.
Raw cotton is absolutely free, yet we inn
port more manufactured cotton than we
export. The same is true of manufac-
lures of silk, paper stock and hides, the
raw material of which is likewise abso-
lutely free. To capture the markets of
the world on any extensive scale, it is
not free raw materials that we need, but
lower wages for the American workman.

STATE OFFICIALS.

RAILROAD RUMoRS.

A paragraph in yesterdays OregoniGn
refers to. the trip taken last Sunday and
Monday by General Superintendent Nc
Campbell of the Union Pacific, in COM
pany with NJ. A. Moody of this city
from The Dalles, by way of Dufur and
Kingsley to Sherar's Bridge, thence ac-
ross the Deschutes and through part of
Sherman county back to The Dalles, and
intimates that these gentlemen were
"spying out the land'' to ascertain what
inducements it offered for branch line
or lines to connect with the Union Pa
cific. 1t is generally understood that
the Union Pacific has no money to put
into branch roads, but if that company
expects to control the traffic of the
country tributary to The Dalles, some
thing in the way suggested must be done
in the near future. If the Union Pacific
does not build one or more lines into the
interior some other company will and in
the latter event, with an open river TO
Portland, the grain and wool traffic of
this great section of country would be
lost to the Union Pacific, perhaps for
ever. While THE CHRONICLE is not par
ticularly fascinated with anything that
the Union Pacific is likely to do, it will
hail with pleasure any movement likely
to give the interior railroad connection
with the Columbia river. Meanwhile
this 'spying out the land" if it means
another railroad, affords further proof,
if more were needed, that the Regulator
has stirred up the dormant energies of
the Union Pacific more than anything
that ever happened since that company
got control of the old o. r. & N. Co. s
line

A Paris contemporary states that dur
ing the past year no fewer than ninety
seven thousand persons died in France
of sheer hunger and that the number of
crimes adjudicated upon in the courts
was PAT 900. If we add to this state
ment put forward by NJ. Betham Ed
wards some time ago, that in Paris, one
out of every twenty deaths of adult
males is that of a suicide, and then re-
member the cool bravado of the dyna-
miter Ravachol who gloried in the COM
mission of the highest crime known. to
the law while supported by an undoubted
widespread public sympathy, it will not
be difficult to arrive at the conclusion
that this hot-souled race is clearly ripe
for another scene of blood that may
rival the revolution of '98.

neer Marshall is of the opinion that the

tried in England, where the conditions are
similar to South Halsted street.
The plans and drawings of the bridge
have been completed by Assistant Engineer
Rowe. The structure must be finished
within six months from the day the contract
for its erection is signed.
1t will consist of a a single span 100 feet
long that can be raised vertically to q height
that will permit the largest lake vessel t.
pass unobstructed beneath. The maximum
distance IN the clear between the bottom OF
the span when raised and the surface of
the river will be 40 feet, and the minimum
distance will be IA feet, which will permit
the passage of tugs and small craft beneath
when the bridge is in use.
At each side of the river there will be a
strong tower 200 feet high which will hold
the puleys over which thirty-two steel wire
cables, one and half inches in diameter
will pass to lift the bridge. The towers
will be braced at the top by trusses to pre-
vent saving or giving when subjected to the
weight OF the bridge, which is estimated TO
be 1, no. COO pounds, without passengers or
vehicles upon it. No one but the bridge
tender will be permitted on the bridge when
it is being raised.
There will be an operating-house in the
center of the bridge, where a newly in
vented device called a pepper will BIZ
placed for the purpose OF telling when the
bridge is high enough for a vessel to pass
under, as it is not the intention to raise it
to Its maximum height unless necessary.
The engines for raising the span will be
placed under the street at the north end of
the bridge, and when the engines are dis
abled the bridge can be raised slowly ny
hand.
The structure is provided with brakes in
case OF accident, and with hydraulic buffers
at the top aud bottom of the towers.
Wagons and streetcarS will pass between
the trusses, and walk on either side will De

be paved wi n cedar blocks.

The Great Catfish of the Mississippi.


The catfish business, confess, surprised
me as to its magnitude and the uneducated
taste Of the West with reference TO fish.
A member OF one OF these firms told me
that good fsh-redhsh, sheepsheads, ETC.
were in no request and sell away below
catfish. Some pompano were sent but the
consignee wrote TO the shipper telling him
his hogfsh were not wanted and wouldn't
sell and he could not dispose of them.
While catfish are bought at SO per 100
pounds. the choice fish are paid less
for. and the business in these is insig-
nfcant. But catfish are sent away out to
Pueblo. TO Kansas City. Mo-, Leaven-
worth, kans., and Topeka, Kans. They
are skinned, dlsemboweled, heads cut off
and are packed in boxes of 100 pounds
each, with a cake Of ice. The variety they
catch and ship are the mud, blue and fresh
water cats. They range in size from one to
twenty-five pounds.
The fishermen catch only In winter. They
bait with sardines, shrimps and small 6sh.
The fishermen are paid So and upward per
$50 pounds. and. as the fish only sell for
about cents per pound to the Western
consumer. there is not much money In if
for the Morgan City purchaser. COMPETE
ton seems sharp. but a good deal of trade
is worked In by way of pay. as all the
purchasers have store. / am told that
from Morgan City to Melville there ars
from 500 to 1000 men engaged in catching
catfish
