We acknowledge ourself greatly in

1t is dated January 2, and is descrip-
ton of Portland, oregon.
Portland, with its 40 square miles
of city limits is a busy city of Multi
nomsh county, situated 80 miles above
the mouth of the Columbia river and
has a population of 96, 600. You can
hear the sound OF the carpenters
hammer every day in the week, Sun
day not excepted. And the hum of
the machine shops and the foundries,
and the buzz saws in the mills and
the ship carpen, ers' AIDES in the ship
yards and the whistles of the steam
ers all mingled together makes it
quite an interesting city to live in.
Ths total mileage OF street railway is
100; the capita. stock of the different
reads IS 81, $50, 900; the total mileage
of water mains in the city is 1855; the
sidewalks cover 800 miles; there are
1917 miles of improved streets; the
sewerage system represents 80 miles.
The city water works cost altogether
SO, 800, 625. The crematory and site
cost s25 900. The cost of the princi-
pal buildings of Portland shows:
Portland Hogel, 81 900 900; Custom
house and site, $500 900; Morgan
Theater building, $500, 900; Chamber
of Commerce, $3.50 600; City Hail $780,,

Dar.e CqEl ma. Duhtfa ibrayU.
$3.50 900 The cost one year for oper-
ating tn bridges, of which there are
four and ferry, is Sl00, 900. The
estimate of expenses tor operating
the fire department for 1900 was S97,-

%. The number OF vessels that ar
rive and depart daily is 40. Portland
exports as many bushels of wheat as
all the rest of the Pacific ports COM
bined, and she receives imports of
various kinds from all foreign ports.
The tramp has no dwelling place
here; if be doesn't worz he gets an
invitation to pass on. The weather
is little moist here, and umbrellas
are as common as hay is in Iowa.
Every body wears umbrellas in this
country There is nothing to COM
plain of in the temperature. There
are some flowers blooming, and tree
frogs singing aud the flies are doing
their best to annoy me. Hoping all
of our d friends in old Iowa are
well and doing well and will have a
merry Christmas and happy New
Year, we remain, James Buck, 267,

TONE is CHEERFUL.
Satisfactory Conditions in CONNER
cial CircIes-Future Viewed
with Confidence.

New York, March S0-Bradstreet's says:
"a rather more cheerful tone is apparent
In general trade, and the close of the first
quarter of the year finds the business world
contemplating total trade for that period
in many cases In excess of all preceding
periods, while the future, with some eXcep-
tons, is viewed with apparent confidence.
The advance of the spring season Is, Of
course, partly responsible for the feeling
above mentioned, allowing as 1t does better
opportunity for wider range of operations
than was possible in the winter months.
First indications as to crop prospects and
outlook are in the main favorable. Bank
clearings are showing steady gains over
unprecedentedly large totals a year ago.
Railway earnings testify to an immense
volume of merchandise passing into con-
sumption, and, as for some time past, the
active demand at advancing prices for
iron and steel is regarded as a reliable in
dex of good general trade to come. Build
ing is becoming more active, and promises
this spring TO be the heaviest for many
years past. Hence the lumber trades and
all lines of builders hardware note con-
tinued or growing activity. The demand
in the latter line and in agricultural imple-
ments at the west is, in fact most notable"
r. G. Dun q Co., in their Weekly Review
OF Trade, say: '"rhe condition of general
business is in most respects satisfactory.
cotton division, is gloomy, with further re-
auctions In prices Of staple goods this week,
and demand falling to increase with the
shading of quotations; but from every 9TH
er department of business reports are
cheerful and the outlook for a good spring
retail turnover is encouraging. There is
little difficulty over collections In any de
rection, and the mercantile demand fof
money from numerous quarters is proof Of
the confidence felt among manufacturers
and joDbers. The labor situation is more
tranquil. Mining differences in the soft
coal region are settled, and sober counsels
seem to have prevailed among anthracite
miners. Aside from the expected advance
in structural shapes there is comparative
steadiness in iron and steel. Alter more
or less advance every week for two months
1t is gratifying to find that Bessemer piS
remained seven days without alteration.
The tone is firm and producers report all
recent sales for early delivery. Wheat did
not respond to rumOTs of damage, but
found reason for strength in Atlantic eX-
ports, including flour in four weeks of H.
1921 bushels, against 6,07S,7G2 bushels in
1900
Failures for the week numbered 2O6 in
the United States, against 203 last year, and
% in Canada, against SO last year"

ORDERED TO RETURN
Minister Loomis Is Recalled from
Venezuela.

Washington, April LA grave crisis
in the relations between the United
States and Venezuela was precipita-
ted Saturday when Secretary Hay
cabled Frank b. Loomis, United
States minister at Caracas, to re-
turn to this country by the first
steamer. Almost simultaneously with
the announcement of Secretary Hays
order to Minister Loomis came the
news that Sig. Pulido, the Venezuelan
charge d'affaires in Washington, is
to leave within a week for Caracas.
Admission is made at the state de-
partment that there is wide diplo-
matte breach between the two re-
pubiics; that this government is dis
satisfied with the conduct of the Ven
ezuelan authorities in general and
President Castro in particular, and
that there will have to be explana-
tions and amends before formal rela-
tions can be resumed.
An intimation was given out that
unless President Castro and his adj
visers recede from the attitude which
they have assumed toward the Unit
ed States that this country may be
driven to the necessity of taking
drastic steps to protect its dignity.
However, nothing will be done until
after Minister Loomis reaches Wash
ington and makes full statement
of all the circumstances attending
not only the persecution of himself
by the newspapers of Venezuela, but
the arrest of Ignacio II. Baiz, DAN
ish subject who represents the Unit
ed States government as consular
agent at barcelona. Baiz was ar
rested, according to reports to the
state department, for refusing to
make a loan to the Venezuelan au-
thorities and put in Jail until the
money was paid. Minister Loomis
was instructed to enter stiff pro-
test against this conduct on the part
of the authorities, but in view of the
fact that he has not communicated
President Castro's answer to Wash
ington it is believed that the Vene-
zuelan government has paid no atten-
ton to the protest.

CITY POLITICS.
Change From the Old to the New
Council Tonight.

There will be meeting of the city
council this evening and the old
council viii step down and out and
the new viii take their places. There
will be an adjournment from the
council to the board of health for the
election of city physician and then
an adjournment to the board of re-
view which will begin business in
earnest on Tuesday morning.
There will be quite contest for
the position of city clerk which is
filed on the selection of the council.
Charles Munroe is candidate for
the place to succeed himself A
number of other candidates are max
ing a hard fight for the place. No
less than seven win enter the race.
Will Woodruff Colonel Redmau,
George Ross, L, d. Potter, L. M.
Bacon, John Jones and Will Baugh
are after the place.
Irwin McCrac ken and Harve Carr
are after the position of hoseman of
the city fire department. 1t is very
likely that Carr will hold the position
to which he was elected upon the re-
tiremeno of Sam Jones, the former
hoseman.
There will be but little contest for
the other ele ctive and apt ointive
places but there is much interest
centered in the PERSONAL of the
mayors committees.
There will be much and hard labor
for the council this year and much
depends upon the committees and
their make up.

Anti-SalOOn Sunday.

Next Sunday, April 21st, Rev. s. E..
Nicholson, of Baltimore, State Super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
will be in Oakland in the interests of
the Anti-Saloon League cause. He
will speak at the NJ. E. church in the
morning, at the Presbyterian church
in the afternoon, which will be a
union mass temperance service, and
at the Lutheran church at night.
The League movement is now es-
tablished in 35 states and is purely
non-partisan and inter-denomina-
tional. This is its first introduction
into Garrett county.
Mr.. Nicholson is former member
of the Indiana Legislature and is the
author of the Nicholson temperance
law. He is also Secretary of the
National Anti-Saloon League.
The following press notices have
been given of his work.
The address delivered by Mr.. Mich
olson, on the subject christian Citi-
zenship," was an elaborate. forcible
and patriotic appeal for a more earn
est effort of the American people
along the line of social reform. In
eloquent language the speaker en-
larged mainly upon the relations be-
tween legislative and educational
methods of social reform. = The
discourse as whole was founded on
the great principles of Christian eth
les, as well as strong personal convic-
ton and extensive experience in the
work of Valparaiso Mes
senger.
The discourse was earnest, eloquent
and strong. 1t was truly patriotic,
for if the country could rise to the
citizenship the distinguished speaker
advocated, we would reach a much
higher moral standard than now. All
present were greatly pleased with the
discourse. Albany Tribune.
