iSheS It's Work,

oSneS IT'S work.
Portland. Or, Jan. 1.-THE Multi.
nomah county grand jury has complet-
ed its labors and adjourned. In its
final report the jury says it is the duty
of the mayor to enforce the laws, and
he has no right to permit an open town
under monthly fine system.
The chief Of police is subject to re-
moval by the mayor; hence he must
obey the mayor even to allowing an
open town, but under hie oath he
should submit to removal rather than
be guilty of malfessance. The grand
jury believes the time has come to be
free from the domination Of all law
breakers.
The business offices of the district
attorney and city attorney are found
to be in very unsatisfactory condi-
ton.
The executive board is criticised for
its manner of letting the contract for
the erection of the Front street bridge,
and letting the contract for extras for
the Morrison street bridge.
Dimstrict Attorney Manning was not
indicted because he recently evidenced
commendable vigilance in prosecu-
tions for gambling. The court is ad-
vised to appoint jealous and compe-
tent attorney to assist in the prosecu-
ton OF all indictments against City
Engineer Elliott; all gambling cases ;
also the cases against John Sommer-
vile. A. H. Breyman, D. E. Buchanan
and others for renting houses for I'M.
lawful purposes.

According to His Ideas.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-The Asso-
ciated Press is in position to state
positively that Emperor Nicholas has
not yet accepted Prince Sviatopolk-
Mirsky's resignation as minister of the
interior. The minister has informed
his majesty of his desire to be relieved
of the office because the imperial re.
form program did not 60 far enough to
meet his views, but the emperor so far
has persuaded him to remain in the
ministry.
Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky's retire
ment soon, however, is regarded as
certain, and NJ. Witte is apparently
equally AS certain of becoming the
Bismarck of Russia. despite the fact
that he is cordially hated as we'll as
feared at court. wen the emperor
seems to shrink from the inuence Of
this strong man, which is accepted as
accounting for his reluctance to give
up Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky 80 long
as M. Witte stands as the only alter
native.

RAINIER PARK ROAD.
Appropriation Of an Additional Hun
died Thousand Expected.


Tacoma, Jan. Mountain enthu-
siasts here are elated over the proposed
additional appropriation Of $780,
for the completion of the road through
the Rainier forestry reserve into Para
disc park. The original appropriation
of $35. 900 for the road has been ex-
pended, $40, 900 going for surveys and
preliminary work. and the remaining
$25 900 was laid out in q road COM
mencing atL ongmire springs, going
directly through the forests to the foot
Of the Nisqually glacier.
Word has been received here that
the house committee will report favor
ably on the appropriation.
Eugene Ricksecker, United States
government engineer, under whose di-
rection the road is being constructed,
states that work will probably be COM
menced as soon as the weather next
season permits. The road cannot be
completed next summer. 1t is to be
deliberately graded and made safe from
landslides, while the Nisqually river
will be crossed in several places by
splendid bridges.
other roads will be built from point
to point in Paradise park. One will
cross the valley Of Paradise creek i,
from the camp of the Clouds to Reflec-
ton lake, at the foot of Tatoosh peaks.
This road will probably pass near the
Mazama camp, and from this point q
branch road will be built to the Cow.
litz glacier. Paths also will be con-
structed to other points of interest.
Experienced mountain climbers here
want those having in charge the ex-
penditure OF the appropriation to make
provision for the comfort and safety of
mountain climbers on Rainier. They
declare that the first thing is the con-
struction Of house at the foot of Glib
raltar rock, either at the place known
as Camp Misery, or few hundred
yards below, at what is known as the
Camp of the Mists. Those reac hing
the top have to spend two nights in
the piercing cold, and often with a
tremendous wind adding to the discom-
fort. The ledge around Gibraltar,
which is followed by the climb Der, is
gone in some places, and some arrange
ment is demanded, according to the
mountain experst, to protect travel to
the summit.
