HAS FOUND AN OREGON EDEN. ‘What & Former Omaha Newspaper Man Thinks of the Placa. T DOESN'T RAIN, BUT "'MISTS” PLENTY® Attractions and Resources of Portland —~Beauties of the Williamette Val- Intevests and tesidents, ley — Business hinese Ponriaxn, Ore,, July S.--[Special Corre- spondenco of Tuw Ber. |—Portland, the most substantial city on the Pacific coast, not even excevting San Francisco, is now making radid strides in the march of progress. By a voto of the peoplo tho three cities of Port, land, East Portland and Albina have been consolidated Into one town, the population of which is 80,000, in round nnmbers. Portland proper lics on the west sido of the beautiful Williamette river, which at this point is over fifteon hundred feet wide and fifty feot doep. On the east side are Kast Portland and Albina, connected with Portland proper by threo bridges and two ferrios, street ruilways, steam motors and I roads unite the throo sections of the consoli- daved city and numorous charming suburbs 1 know of no city in tho country that has a mors completo or extensive system of streot railwi Portlaud proper lies on o sloping plateau and reaches back to a range of heights, the summits of which are being rapidiy built up with handsome and palatial homes, overlooking a scene of unequalled and {cturesque magnificonce. From Portland eights, which are reached by a cable rail- way up an incline that almost makes ono dlzzy, tho observer's cyo takes na grand sweon, Below lies tho busy city of Portland with its many beautiful streets and yaras, and slowly flowing towards the sea und into the majestic Columbia the rival of tho Hudson so far as scenery is concerned, is the Willamette river, liko a stroak of 'shiniug silver, borderca’ with a fringe of green. Ow'the east, located on a poninsula between the Willamette and the Columbra, are East Portland and Albina; farther 10 the east are Sunnyside and Mount Tabor, two most delightful suburbs, the lat- tor being on a high hill overlooking the Co- Jumbis. ‘Yo the east about seventy-five miles is the famous Mount Hood with its everlasting snow-peak rising to the height of 11,034 teet above the level of the sea. It isa dormant or extinct_volcano of the Cascade range. On oneof its sides is a neariy ver- tical precipice 7,000 feet high. Mount Hood is partly covered with forests of pine and fir. A year ago, on the night of the Fourth of July, n display of fireworks was given from the summit of Mount Hood and was plainly visible in Portland. 10 the northeast of Portland about sixty miles is Mount Adams, 9,570 feot high, and in the same direction and about the same distance may be seen Mount St. Helons, which looms up to the height of 12,000 feot, a dome-shaped poak of the Cas- cnde range, whose summit is covered with perpetunl snow. It is ealled an active vol- cano, aud was in a state of eruption in 1543, but lins ceased to owit lava, What grander subject than this marvellously picturesque combination can the artist desire? 1 venture the assertion thav its equai cannot be found mnywhere on the face of this diversified earth. | cannot do tho scene justice. If I could, I would not hesitate to claim descrip- tive powers of more than ordinary merit. The grand panorama must be soen to be appreciated. THE CLIMATE of Oregon is peculiar to nne who has been accustomed to the four scasons. There aro really but two seasons here—the rainy and the dry, the former being the winter and the latter the summer. It rains from October to May, but this year tho month of June was included in the rainy season. Umbrellas and “Mackintoshes" are in bix demand durwng the rainy period People here do not as o yulo call it rain, but mist. The Oregou mist comes down in drops infinitessimally small, and it takes a great deal of mist to thoroughly soak you. Such & thing as a drenching rainfall, siich as eastern Nebraska is blessed with, is indeed a rarity here. ~Thunder and lightning are rare atmosphericuovelties in Oregon, and cyclones mre sull rarer, But I was' out in the country the other any and saw a strip through a pine forest where immense trees bad veen pulled up by the roots and laid low. It was the result of some tornado of a long time ago. Nobody knew when it occurred, but it was evidence of a heavy blow here at some remoto period. Just now we are having the most perfect woather. The mercury Indicates, in every well behaved thermometer, out 75 degrees of heat on an averago. This certainly is very acceptable weather for July, wud Tam told that it will be about the me in August. Why anyone should wish 10 go to the seashore from Portland Is what puzzles me, but Raopla. will go all the same simply because 1t is the ““fad” I suppose. Wo have numerous seaside resorts the mouth of the Columbia d the fashionable people patronize them for about two montbs—July and Au- Funt and go in bathing in the Pacific, even f they do get chilled through and through, Magnificent steamers run between Portlaud wnd Astoria, and are well patronized. Astorin, founded by John Jacob Astor, is the seaport of Oregon, but does no business ex- cept to register vessels bound for Portland, 110 miles from the ocean. Astoria is a place of about six thousand people, who depend mostly on the salmon fishing ' fleet for their existouce. Eivery afteruoou a fleet of over five hundred fishing boats sail out from ‘Astoria to the broad mouth of the Coiumbia in quest of salmon, and the sight of the white specks of sails on the bosom of the placid river is indeed novel and picturesque. As- toria has no railroad connection with Por land, its only communication being by steamer. The steamers make fast time-not less than twenty miles an hour. But to re- turn to oclimate. DIl tell you avout Astoria some othor timo,” it be- ing an interesting and historic plac As to the climate of Portland it is simply sa- lubrious, exhilarating and full of ozone. It uts new life in the wan who has spent his t yoars in the interlor. The air is perme- ated with a refreshing fragrance ef fruits snd flowers of all kinds, more especially of eem “This is the land of roses and no mis- ke, and everybody wears a buttonhole Doquet of roses and & roseate countenance. ‘Whaen the sun sinks to rest in the calm bosom of the Pacific the fragraut perfume of roses, mingled, as it were, with the mellow light of at the moon and the more brilliant illumination of the alectric street lamps, makes tho most matter-of-fact rson romantic, and as he ‘walks through the arbored streets he breathes fu an atmosphere that fills him with a desire o livo a thousand yours, and a regret that Jifo is so short. It is & rejuvinating climate— in the summer. An _ Ovegon sum- mer has no superior. I imagine that itis the kind of & summor that Adam and Eve enjoyed in the Garden of Kden until they wero summarily bounced from that de- lightful spot. Oregon, by the way, is a mod- eru gurdev of Eden, aud people hore bave an abundance of apples, as well as other fruit, but notwithstanding the abundance, the prices are about the same as in Omaha. ' The ‘weather 4n winter is rarely cold enough to make ico, and in swnmer itis not hot enough 1o cause much of a demand for it, but uever- theless ico is a costly luxury. It'is sold at 1 ceut a pound. There are several urtificial ice factories here, besides, considerablo natural fce is shipped 1u from Idaho. BUSINESS. Good climate fs & very good thing, but I find very few persons here for their health, They are here mostly for the almighty dollar. In many respects they could not bave found a much better place to gather in the flithy lucre. Portland is a Kreat business city. It is the commercial meotropolis of the Pacific northwest. Its jobbiog business last vear amounted to $130,000,000, all done on Front street, which runs along the water front and is well built up with four anda five story wholesale houses. Portland’s commerce extends ull over the Pacifio coast aud to Jupan and China. [t bay tho biggest business center of any city in the world in proportion to1 size. Ove would suppose from its busin centor that it was a place of 230,000 people fostead of §0,000. It is & seaport, ocean steamers and sailiug vessels from nearly all the ports in the world coming here in quite large numbers. CHINESE, Like all Pacific coast town it bas & large Chinese population. Thers are about four thousand Chinese hero, and the majority occupy eight or nine blocks in the very heart of the business center. They have their stores of all kinds, thoaters, joss houses, opium joints, bazaars, gambling houses, iottery offices, restaurants, ete. The Chineso quarter is always an interosting place to visit, and tourists never fail to take 1t in. : AMUSEMENTS, Portland is a great amusement town. The Marquam Grand theater, costing £500,000, plays the very best attractiors for ® week stand each; Cudray's is a stock company theater, producing standard plays overy night in the vear; I'rench’'s New Park thea- ter is a similar house, and in addition there are half a dozen variety theaters. All theso places of amusement are doing well. The wouder is how they can all live, but they live all the same and make money. * A COSMOPOLITAN TOWN. Portland is a cosmoolitan city. You meet people from all parts of the world here Tourists and globe trotters mako it ono of their principal objective poiuts. People from the east who como to Portland go to San Francisco, and those who go to San Francisco come to Portland. HOTELS. This city is woll suppled with hotels, one of which, the Hotel Portland, is a palatial structure in,the shape of a letter H, seven stories, occupying an entire block and con- taining 700 rooms. It is conducted by one of the famous hotel family of Lelands. Itis a credit to the city and & big advertisement. Omaha would do well to wake up and_build such a hotel. She needs 1t. Hoory Villard, in the height of his Northern Pacific glory, started this hotel and got as far as those story when the memorable collapse kno him ont together with the hotel. It was o black eye for Portland. The Union Pacifie, when it comvleted the Oregon Srort Line and gathered in the Oregon railway sud navigation company's property, scooped in also Villard's ruins, as the hotel foundation was called. The Union Pacific sold “the ruins” toa syndicate, who about three or four years ago resumed the building of the hotel, and finally completed it. Its cost was in the vicinity of $1,000,000. The courts are spacious and are ornamented with trc plants of all kinds, and I don’t think there is a more attracuve house in America. It faces the postofiice, and just across street stands the Marquam Graud opera house, an eight-story structure, BUILDING BOOM. Portland, by the way, is having quite a building boom. Among the most nota- blo structures now going up is the Daily Oregonian _building, nine stories high, of stone and_brick, 100 fest square, something after the stylo of Tue B building, and absolutely firoproof. The ma- terial is granite for tho first two stories and red sandstone and brick for the balance. It will be completed next spring and will cost £50,000. Another big building now under way is the Chamber of Commerco, eight stories, to cost 250,000 It was designed by 1. Hodgson, jr., of Omaha who has established an architect’s office here and is doing a_land oftice business. The foundation of the Cham- ber of Commerce has been completed and bids for the superstructurc wil be opened on_ Wodnesday. numerous contractors from all parts of the country are here to bid, among them being Arthur Johnson of Omaha, who has the con- tract for the union dopot in your city snd the electric building of the world’s fair in Chi- cago. The latter building will be 860x750 feet and will cost $400,000. Johnson fecls pretty confident that he will secure the Port- Iand Chamber of Commerco contract. Fred McConnell, also of Omaha, is here to figure on furnishing the fire-proofing material for this building. Another notable structure, the foundation of which is completed, is tho new city hall. It is to be six stories high, will cover an entire block and will cost $600,- 000. These aro only a few of the many big buildings in_course of construction, = and others are being planned. PERSONAL GOSSIP, Colonel R. C.

AT MINNEKAHTA, Busy Times and Pleasant Days at the Black Hills' Health Resort. Hor Serixas, S. D., July 12.—(Special to Tuz Bee. |—Although with one or two excep- tions the past few days have been clear and bright, still the heat is not as oppressive as it is in the cities or on the plaius. One can always find a cool breezy spot on the hills bere, no matter how warm it may be in the valloys. Social events are somewhat quiet. Ploas- ant littlo coteries are formed of evenings on the verandas where oune can hear the soft music of the banjo, gaitar or mandolin blend- ing with the singing of some of the ladies and gentlemou. A small party was tendered to Miss Alma E. Lampert and one or two visit- ing friends from Rapid City last Wednesday evening, there being a number present from boring towns and_cities. Within ten days work will commence on the new county court house here, which will be a very handsomo structure, as stone of a very fing quality is abundant.” Tho B. & M. is very busy grading depov grounds and yards and will shortly have terminal facilitie At present it is using the Elkhorn's yards, A large force of men are at work grading Min- nokahta avenue, which being a business street and the main thoroughfare to the Min- nekalita bath house, will bo a great improve- ment. Black Hills Chautauqua association will shortly meet here and a large number of visitors is expected us a consequence. Already the secretary has & great mauy orders for tents, and no doubt will have more than he cansupply. They have elegant grounds near the city and easy of access. Many wonderful cures are being performed by these springs, prominent among which is the case of a gentloman who arrived hero apout five weeks ago and had to_be carried from tho train on a litter. He has now so far recovered as to be abls to dance, having attended a hop given atthe Minnekahta hotel last week. “ Next Sunday the Hot Springs baseball club will make an attemptt dofeat the Lead City and Dendwood nines, and the event will bo one uf much interbst!

[n each of these respects they are quite valuable. How is Tk Bee able to so distance its competitors! Bocause it has ostablishod @ number of horso routes throughout the stato! Because it has its own spocial train which makes a run to Grand Island, 154 miles dis- tant from Omahe, in four hours Making allowance for the stops at rail nond crossings, this train travels at the re- mark able speed of sixty miles an hour. It stops at only two stations. Tur Bue, however, stops at overy station.

Many a duil man is picked up for the best positions simply because he has the roputa- tion of being honest. The greatest philosopher in the world is not the man who says the wisest things, but the man who laughs, For the sake of making a crowd laugh a minute, almost any man will run the risk of foeling for weel that ho maae fool of him- self.

Hundreds of Onrious People Hover Around the Murdered Woman's Corpse, GETTING EVIDENCE AGAINST PRICE. Nothing Direct Has Bren Obtained, Boyond the Fact That the Couple Were Seen Togother Early Saturday Evoning. Over five hundred people, mostly colored, called at Hoafey & Heafey's undortaking rooms mains of Fannio Tate, the murdercd woma Datectives and police waro busy huuting up evidenco and tracing the movements of Price. In the afternoon Sergoant Whalen and County Attornoy Mahoney visited the scene of the erime and talked with the chil- dren of the dead woman and several other people who saw the couple togethor. No new ovidence was discovered. The stories told wore tho same as printed in Tiux Bes Sun- y morning. To some police officers Price admitted that he had been at tho Tate residence in tho evening and drank beor, but deniod the crime. Again the prisonor would deny that he had been to the houso at ail +Unless a confession can be wrung from the supposed murdorer it will bo hard to obtain absolute proof- of his guilt, though circum- stantial eyldonce may convict him. When the body was first discovered 1t was claimed that the prints of fingoer nails were still discornable in the warm flosh of the neck. A look at Price’s hands shows that he nas no finger nails to_speak of, they having been worn down to the quick by handling brick. Coroner Harrigan will probably hotd an inquest on the body this afternoon. The doctor stated that he would probably delay the inquest until aftor the proliminary hoar- ing of the prisoner, in order to learn just what evidence thero is against Price. Forninst the Bones. There is a queer old fishorman down on the Jersoy coast who has followed his calling for forty vs, and yot ho de- clares that although he has in a sense subsisted upon the finny tribe he has never in all his lifo tasted of a bit of fish. He has always had an unconquerable aversion to this article of diet, and his common bill of fare has been unique and simplo. As he humorously puts it: *I kin live on rum an’ pork. There hain’t no bones in them.” g SUCNI Duration of Animal Lire.
