PosTLAsD. Jan. Ij.-Continuous heavy
rains for forty-eieht hours have raised the
Willamette river and its tributaries,
bat thus far the damage has been
small. The river az this point is about
seventeen feet above low water, and
an additional rise of two or three feet is
expected, though the rain ceased this
morning. In this city the lower docks
are submerged. causing wholesalers some
expense in moving goods TO higher places.
At Eugene the channel of the river has
changed somewhat, causing serious dam

WORKINGS OK SEWERS.


Plenty OF .Foremen Needed Electric
Lights TO Be Csed.
At the meeting of the board of public
works yesterday IL was decided to law off
all The workmen on the sewers who had
worked fifteen DAYS or more, excepting the
timber men and pipe layers, in order to
give others a chance. the street commits
sioner being instructed to enforce the rule
today. The question as to the number of
foremen to be employed also arose, and
considerable discussion was INDUCED in
before any satisfactory plan could be set
tied upon. Commissioner Van Brocklin
thought that one foreman on each street
was sufficient, and a man who could not
oversee the work of all the men in proper
shape was incompetent. but Commission
ers Cochran and Wolfe disagreed with
him on that point, insisting that it was an
impossibility, SO it was decided to keep
one foreman on each division.
A contract was awarded the Union Elec-
trio Company for lighting Commercial and
Front streets with incandescent lights to
be used in the sewer work, at Q cost not to
exceed $3.50 for the time during which the
work Is under way. Wires will be strung
over the center of the street, with drop
lights attached at distances of from fifteen
10 thirty feet. so that the work may pro-
coed at night Is well rs in daytime. The
company was ordered to place the lights
as soon as possible. Ii was promised that
the work should be commenced last even
ing. and will be completed within two or
three DAYS
The contract for furnishing fifty hydrants
and gates was awarded to the Michigan
Brass and Iron Works, at $5al5 per
hydraut
A complaint WAS received from D. C.
Townsend as TO the condition of the box
sewer on the corner of Eleventh and
Howell streets. as il is completely stopped
up with sand and overlooking, thereby
making it almost unbearable for the resi-
dents in that vicinity. The matter was
referred to the street commissioner for in
vestigation.
Pursuant to the request of J. F. Brewer.
the street commissioners was instructed to
build crossing on McCiaire street. on the
north side of Eaton, as there Is at present
no crossing for distance of five blocks.
A petition signed by number of prop
erfy owners aud residents was received,
asking for an arc light on the corner of
Fourth and Howell streets, a. this point is
very poorly lighted, and will be used to a
considerable extent as soon as the new
Presbyterian church Is completed. The
matter was referred to Commissioner
Cochran for investigation

At meeting of the police commission
ers last night C. NJ. Conroy, one of the
special officers. was dismissed on account
of his actions while on the stand in the
superior court yesterday afternoon during
the trial of Nick Long on the charge Of
repeating at the last school election. The
mayor said he had been informed by the
deputy prosecuting attorney that Conroy,
when asked if he had not voted seventeen
men at 81 head. replied: 81 am not on
trial." Judge Osborn then ruled that the
question was proper for the witness to an
swer if it did not criminate him. The
attorney for Long is credited with refus-
ing TO allow him to answer. on the ground
that it might criminate him. Commits
sioner Waiiingford moved to drop Conroy
from the roll. but there was no second to
the motion.
When Chief Willard was asked about
Conroy's work he replied that he had
gotten along all right. Then to bring the
matter before the board he recommended
nim as a regular. The recommendation
was turned down by 8 unanimous vote.
Wailingford said il was common talk that
Conroy was one OF the repeasers himself.
and he did not want the odium of having
= uch men on the force. Mayor Ronald
said someone had got to be dropped and
from what he had heard he was willing
that it should be Conroy. Wallingford re-
peated his motion and it carried unani-
mously.
The resignation of Officer A. L. Love
land, dated January 3. was accepted.
The annual report was placed on file.

WHY Old Vio,ins Are Best.

! Fabulous prices are sometimes paid
/ for old violins. and many an enthusiasts
! tic musician would part with his last
dollar to possess one Of the master
pieces of Stradivarius. or Guarnerius
or another of the famous makers of 2
century or two ago.
The unquestioned superiority of these
old, and often battered. instruments
has been variously ascribed to the pc
culiar quality Of tie varnish used in
their construction, to the elasticity of
the wood employed. and 10 the ripening
and improving effects of age and long
! use.
But at last summers meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science reasons We're shown
! for believing that the real cause of the
superiority of the old instruments is
due TO a peculiar warping of the wood
to Il higher arch. buckling caused Icy

/ the effect. if attained, is not permanent
because with age the arching increases

| The substitution of aluminium for
wood in the making of viOlins has been
/ suggested because experiment has

resemble in tone those made of wood,
and that an aluminium violin does not
undergo changes of form with age, so
that il can be made perfect TO begin

Feeding Wheat and Bran.

s. w Yantis, of the Board of Trade.
Buffalo. says: The merit of bran or
shorts has long been acknowledged.
There has always been Il strife on the
part of the miller 10 leave as little
flour in the bran as possible, and de
sire on the part of the consumers to
have bran rs rich in flour as can be
obtained. This shows the value of the
finer parts of the wheat kernel.
1T is claimed 10y some who have
tried the experiment. that wheat for
feeding hogs is worth 90 per cent more
than corn. To-day you can have the
whole of the richness of wheat at less
cost per pound than the cost of corn
meal. At wholesale to-day in Buffalo
J6 pounds of corn costs 611a cents, 90
pounds of wheat costs % cents, or
nearly 10 cents per bushel less cost for
the wheat than for the corr and the
wheat is of very fine quality, too.
Poorer lots of wheat, jus. as good
for feed, can be had little cheaper;
but you can't depend on getting such
every day or for very long at present
rate wheat is being fed to stock, and

stepdaughter Soon after trouble arose
between the two men. Arnold took his
daughter away from Hard, and when
Hard went after her the two men
Quarreled, and the result was Arnold
was shot dead and Hard fed the State.
His wife secured divorce and re-
married Her husband died Il few
years ago. Three years ago Hard re-
turned to Jackson County, was recog-
niZed, arrested for the murder of
Arnold. and sent To the penitntiary for
a long term. During his trial his form
er wife visited him frequently, the old
love revived. and she worked her hard
est to secure his release. She circu-
lated n petition for his pardon, and
after two years her efforts were sue
cessful. and Hard was released. A few

Shark Lore from Hawaii.

A tiger shark was caught recently off
the coast of Maui. near Kaanapali In
side it were eighteen little sharks about
two feet long. This oviparous char
acteristic of some species of sharks
has probably given rise to many of the
Hawaiian superstitions about these
monsters Of the sea. Some years ago n
monster female shark was caught near
the Island of Kauai. Inside of her
were found fifty-twO young sharks 1t
is not known to many that the terrible
teeth of the shark are flexible and ut
the will OF the fish lie fat in rows. so
that no teeth are apparent. AS it APP
pears that the female protects her
young by opening her mouth and per-
hitting them to run into her body, it
is evident that the power to lay the
teeth down on 4 fiat surface is Il provis-
ion Of nature by which the young
sharks can be taken in and out of the
body without being injured by the
teeth.-Pacilic Commercial Advertiser.

A SNAKE RANCH.
Queer Things to Be Seen in a Philn-

play his stock in his store window and
shrinks modeStly from public observa-

The ranch occupies n small room in
the rear of Il cigar and tobacco store on
North Second street. The shop is an
Oddity in itself. for the show cases and
merchandise block the floor space and
mount almost To the ceiling in pictur-
eSque confusion. The proprietor and
snake rancher does Il big business in

The ranchero takes the whole matter
in Il cool. businesslike way Snakes
are no more TO him than yards of rib

siderable pride the length and graceful
twisting and curling of his stock in

age among his tobacco bales. \ living
