ELECTRIC WORK BOOMING.
Cheap Figures Furnished for Wiring
and Lighting Residences.

There is great activity about the
Hawaiian Electric Company's
premises. Gangs of men are bus
lily engaged in constructing the
new ice and cold storage plant,
which, it is expected, will be COM
pleted early in December.
Manager Hoffman and a corps of
efficient workmen have all they can
do for some time to come wiring
houses and placing new lights. Since
MI. Hoffman became manager of the
company great mprovements have
been made in many respects. He
has demonstrated that electricity
is the best and cheapest light for
residences, business houses, offices,
etc, and under his hustling super
vision much new business has come
to the company in work of the
kind mentioned.
A great many people have been
under the impression that electric
lighting was too expensive for
homes, but when figures were fur
nished by Manager Hoffman, they
were amazed at the cheap rate
which the work could be done.

HoOdIHns Dispersed.

While raiding a Chinese shop on
King street Saturday morning a
certain captain OF the police was
forced 10 resort to some plan of
getting a gang of inquisitive hood
lums and other persons away from
the entrance. The officer saw it
would be useless to attempt to dis
perse them without aid, as they
were over a hundred in number.
He made up his mind to take a
decisive step, and rushing for
bucket of water, poured the whole
contents upon the surprised gang,
who gcampered in all directions.
1t is said there were some very
prominent persons in the crowd
that felt few stray drops of water.
The plan resorted to by the cap
tain was very effective, for the gang
failed to turn up afterWard.

MULLET AND SHARK.
Trick Played on an Unsuspecting
Native Sunday.

One of the natives employed on
the custom house force had an IN
pleasant experience Sunday morn
ing. He had gone to the fshmarket
on horseback and bought two
fine mullet for breakfast. Spying
a friend standing near by, he asked
if he would not have the fish
wrapped up in paper for him.
This was acquiesced in. The
friend saw that two small sharks
were substituted for the mullet, and
took possession of the fish. The
unsuspecting native left his bundle
at the custom house with a boy
living in the same house with him.
A little later the friend arrived
with the mullet and told the boy
he had no use for the fish and
that he had better take it home
with the other bundle. Naturally,
the boy kept the gift and the en-
ployee of the custom house got the
sharks. The man is still wonder
ing how mullet could change into
shark in so short time and under
such circumstances.

The Korean law reads: "One

If man died in debt, his relations

WIFE BEATER ARRESTED.
Thought he Could Make Amends
for Past Sins.

Kanui, native from the vicinity
of Iwilei, was brought to the police
station late Saturday night for dis
turbing the peace and quiet Of the
neighborhoOd from which he has
the honor to hail. It seems Kanui
conceived the idea that he could
make amends for all his past sins
by beating his wife with club.
Having satisfied his mind as to
this, he began operations and con-
tinued them at intervals for two or
three hours. The attention of a
mounted patrolman was called to
the actions Of the native by boy
living in the neighborhood. When
the officer arrived, Kanui had
nothing on but a pair of torn
trousers. He had evidently set
about the task of beating his wife
in a business-like manner. The
poor woman was crouching in a
corner completely cowed and with
a face that bore unmistakable
signs of having been struck with
some blunt instrument. At the
police station some one offered the
suggestion that the man was
drunk, which was Enthusiastically
the case. Kanui turned himself
toward the speaker as best he could
and replied in excellent English,
mo sir, L am not drunk. 1t is
true 1 cannot stand up as well as
L would like to, but l am really
not drunk" The warning voice of
Turnkey Evans announced that it
was bed time for Kanui, and the
native disappeared from the scene.

THE PORTAGE ROAD.
La est Reports About The Construction Of
fhe Paul Mohr Road,

the Paul Mohr Road.
For some time we have seen nothing
in print about the portage road on the
Washington side of the river, opposite
this city: but the following we copy
from the Klickitat Agricasltualiist of last
Saturday:
Paul +. Mohr of the Columbia river
portage railway was at the Cascade
locks few days ago taking look at
the works. He says portage road will
be of little use until the locks are COM
pleted. He believes the locks can be
completed by the first of the year If the
workmen can be induced to wait for
their money until congress makes the
next appropriation next winter. He
could not say just when his portage
road would be completed because In
these times new enterprises that are
dependent on the borrowing of capital
are somewhat uncertain. 1t is hard to
get money for new enterprises at this
time. The road will pay from the
start, but capitalists want to put their
money only into schemes that are pay
ing already. The completion of the
locks will give an open river from
The Dalles to the Pacific ocean. The
portage railway. W hich will be p miles
long, will be around the distractions
above The Dalles, on the Washington
side. With the completion of the
locks and the portage railway wheat
can be carried down the Snake and Co.
lumbia rivers. thence around the up
per Cascades on the portage railroad,
transferred to steamers on the middle
river, and carried to tidewater inde-
pendent of the railroads. -,

THE LOCKS.
A Grand Excursion to be Given to The
Cascade Locks About Aug. 18th.

Cascade Locks About Aug. 18th.
A circular was received this morning
by the agent of the D. P. & A. N. Co.
in this city, giving notice of grand
excursion to the Cascade Locks, to be
given about the 10Th of August. The
object of the excursion is for the citi-
zens of Eastern Oregon to meet those
of Western Oregon at this point, and
exchange congratulations on the pros
poets of completion of this great pro-
ject, and to take view of the canal
and locks while in process of construc-
tion. Mr.. Fl. Hallock, OF the East
Oregonian, is the protector of the ex
cursion, and train will leave Pendle-
ton and other points in Eastern Ore
gon at that time. 1t may be expected
that large number will come from
Portland and towns in the Willamette
valley. An open Columbia river is an
event to be celebrated by the entire
state, as it makes an important
era in the development of the north
west. The excursion will leave Satur-
day evening so as to spend Sunday at
the locks, and this will afford all an
opportunity ef viewing the great pro-
ject on universal holiday. We can
see no reason why this should not be
very successful, and expect more people
will congregate at the Locks on this oc-
casion then were ever there before. 1t
cannot help being popular with the
people, and the newspapers in the
meantime will thoroughly advertise
the excursion.
