Montavilla, Wants Depot. Montavilla
finds It easier to grant favors than to got
favors In return. Several years ago the
citizens raised 400 and bought a strip of
land 1500 feet long; In North Montavllla
for the O. R. & N. Co.. with the under
standing that gome time In the future a
depot would be established. The com
pany got the deed to the strip and put
In a spur, but there Is yet no depot. Both
the Montavilla Improvement League and
Local Board of Trade are urging the
company that the time has arrived for a
depot, but no definite results have yet
been secured. The league will get up a
petition to the company. The population
of that district is estimated at about
4000 and it is still growing rapidly. It Is
urged that a depot, or station, is wanted
badly in North Montavilla, both for pas
sengers and freight, to accommodate that
growing section.
Brooklyn Engine Company. Council
man Rushlight eays that the new Brook
lyn engine-house will be completed so
that the new fire company can be In
stalled about the first of the year. Good
progress is being made on the building.
The engine for that section has been or
dered, but must be built, which will
take up considerable time. The hose wag
on is being built. There Is a wide dis
trict In this neighborhood that Is with
out fire protection. Only last week a
cottage was burned to the ground be
fore the firemen could arrive. The engine-house
on East Twenty-eighth street
will be the next to be Installed. Grading
for the foundation has been done and
some of the lumber has been delivered.

Evangelical Conference to Establish
Permanent Campground.
There was a good attendance at the
several services yesterday on the Evan
gelical campground at Jenning's Lodge,
on the Oregon City railway. Meetings
were held in the forenoon, afternoon and
evening, under the direction of Rev. Ezra
Maurer and Rev. H. E. Hornschuch, pre
siding elders. Most of the ministers of
the Oregon Conference of the Evangeli
cal Association are present. The confer
ence at its last meeting made attendance
obligatory, unless there should be reason
able excuse.
The Evangelical Association hopes to
make these grounds the religious and
educational center for the state for that
denomination, and the members of the
corporation, which. lias control of the
grounds is slowly shaping affairs In that
direction.
So far no permanent buildings have
been erected on the eight acres, as the
efforts of the association have been di
rected to clearing the grounds of debt
before undertaking Improvements. In
stead of meeting In an auditorium, which
is to be erected on the three acres elop
ing down to the Willamette River, pub
lic services are being held In a large pavil
ion tent, and lotowners and those remain
ing on the grounds are living In tents,
pitched among the trees. All this will
be changed In the course of a few years.
If the plans of the conference are carried
out. An auditorium, built on an amphi
theater plan, will face the Willamette
River, and the avenues with which the
land on the upper level have been inter
sected will be lined with cozy cottages.
In short, the Evangelical Association
plana to make these grounds the confer
ence Chautauqua for Oregon.
STRIKERS ARE STILL OUT
Home Telephone Employes Quit In
Many Coast Cities.
The strike of the Home Telephone Com
pany employes continues. C. A. Elmore,
vice-president of the union, said last
night:
"There has been no change in the situ
ation. Work has been discontinued on all
lines In which the Home Telephone Com
pany Is Interested. The strike Includes
Tacoma, Spokane, Belllngham, Walla
Walla and Albany, as well as this city.
The telephone company has many other
franchises In Oregon and Washington, but
as no attempt has been made to begin
work there it could hardly be said that
the strike affects those places. The walk
out Includes all linemen, cable-splicers
and Installers."
Mr. Sullivan, vice-president of the na
tional union, is now at Tacoma and other
northern points looking after the interests
of the men, but is expected back
here soon. There seems to be a mis
understanding In regard to the line
men's contract with the construction
company. That contract was drawn last
Fall and provides for an eight-hour day
at J3 per day, to be in force for two years.
As soon as the present difficulty Is settled
the men will return to work on that'
schedule, although the new agreement,
known as the Oakland agreement, is for
J3.60 per eight-hour day. The agreement
in question is identical with the agreement
made with the California company of the
same name, which, however, is entirely
separate from the Home Telephone Com
pany here. The linemen will not break
their agreement with the construction
company, and will return to work at the
old wages as soon as the present differ
ences with the operating company are set
tled." .
Tender-Hearted Man
Gets Into Trouble
Fondles Dog and la Bitten by
Mother Cnt That Fears for Safety
of Her Kittens.
WHEN A MAN is fond of cats and
dogs It is rather a difficult prop
osition for all three to get along well
together. This has been proven more
times than one could imagine. Jim
Owens, of the Columbia dock, who, by
the way, is a heavyweight, and not be
ing an exception to the rule, is good
natured, is fond of pets, particularly
cats. Around his office on the dock
an old mother cat, the property of
Owens, makes its home. A few weeks
ago there was an addition to the dock
cat family.
The other day a dog showed up
around the place, and as the animal
was somewhat of a good-looker, he was
the admiration of all. Among others
who petted him was Mr. Owens, the
congenial. He fondled the dog, but un
fortunately forgot to wash his hands.
Then he thought of his cat and kittens.
When he went among them and gath
ered the mother cat up in his hands
she smelted a rat, or rather a dog, and
fearing that harm was coming to her
offspring, attacked her master. Con
sequently, Mr. Owens' hand Is now in
a bandage, the result of a cat-bite. But
even yet Mr. Owens has not made up
his mind to drown the tribe, mother
and all. He is too tender-hearted.
AT THE THEATERS
What the Fres Agents Say
Grand Show Transferred to Star.
Instead of playing at the Grand this week,
which la closed for renovation, the vaule
ville show of Sullivan A Considlne will be
presented at the Star Theater, across the
street from the Grand. Laura Howe and
her Dresden dolls will be featured. This Is
an odd act which has pleased elsewhere
and will find favor In the eyes of Port land
ers. Arthur Klgby, the popular black-face
monologulst. Is on the bill and he has a
great reputation as a fuwnaker. Another
extra good comedian is Dick Lynch, the
entertainer. Ada Jewell, an operatic singer
of rare ability, la listed, and a team of Rus
sian acrobats will have a place on the pro
gramma. The illustrated sons' and moving
pictures will close the show. The new bill
begins this afternoon at the Star.
Pantages New Bill.
The vaudeville sensation of the season will
be at Pantages Theater this week In "Sapho,"
the comical enigma. This Is one of the best
amusement features ever put on by a local
vaudeville house. Professor Henri Rocket" or d,
of Franc, is imported with thla- feature.
The central figure Is a sort of mechanical
doll or Is it a human being? That's for you
to find out. Anyway, this object turns out
to be a humorist of no small ability. The
act Is one laugh from beginning to end, and
it will keep you guessing to boot. Other dis
tinct features are: Trixeda and Robeson,
lightning change artists; the Musical Spraguel
loa, premier musicians; Beverley and Danvers,
sketch artists; La Toska, celebrated com la
juggler; Jean Wilson, illustrated song; the
biograph. latest moving pictures.
NEW JERSEY MAN'S CRIME
Nicholas Berti Shoots and Kills Al
exander Cordelia.
VINE1UAND, N. J., Aug. E. Nicholas
Berti. aged SO years, was shot and killed
today by Alexander Cordelia, a farmer
living near Vineland. The shooting fol
lowed a quarrel. Cordelia, when arrested
pleaded, "Give me a knife or a revolver
and they can bury me at the same time
they do Berti."
Bertl's friends tried to take the pris
oner from the officers and there was a
free fight In which several men were
hurt. The officers finally succeeded In
getting their prisoner in jail.

The Beat Diarrhoea Bemedy.
"I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Chol

it the best remedy of the kind on the mar
ket," says W. F. Mayes, a prominent mer

INSTALLS SMELTER
AT
Dr. Day Perfects Apparatus
for Experiments With
Black Sand.,
TO BE READY THIS WEEK
Electric Furnace Will Determine
Whether or Not Ore in Beache9
Will Be Smelted and Re
fined in Portland.
Klectric smelters being Installed by
Dr. David T. Day at the Geological
Survey experiment station at the Fair
grounds will probably be In readiness
for operation by the latter part of this
week. Then It will take but a few days
to determine whether the smelting and
refining of the Iron ore extracted from
the black sands can be successfully
done.
Upon this. Dr. Day says, depends
whether or not Oregon is to. become
great as a steel-producing center. lie,
however, is confident and satisfied that
everything will come out just as
planned. He believes that with electric
ity, iron ore such as found in the
black sands can be smelted and refined
at a cost of from 115 to $18 a ton. This
is cheaper than it can be done in the
East. Inexhaustible quantities of black
sands rich with iron ore can be found
along the Columbia River as shown by
Dr. Day's reports and much interest
is being taken In the outcome of his
present experiments.
Dr. Day has been absent from Port
land the last week and as a result the
installation of the electric smelters was
delayed. He has been over in Idaho In
the vicinity of Boise City, where he
examined several black sand deposits.
Expects to Find Diamonds.
Lately Dr. Day has done consider
able experimenting with a quantity of
tailings from the Oroville mining dis
trict in California- Diamonds, some as
much as a carat in weight have been
found in that district and Dr. Day ex
pects to find some of the valuable
stones in the black sands from there
with which he is experimenting.
Upon the concentrating table at the
station has been placed a small con
trivance which he says will never fail
to catch the precious Btones, provided
there aro any. It Is used quite exten
sively in South Africa.
It consists of a small tin upon which
is lathered common axle grease. The
sands slip over the tin but it is said
that diamonds would become lodged
should they come In contact with the
grease.
Dr. Day will save all the accumlat
tlons. Even the minutest stones will be
saved. They will all be sent to New
York to be examined by diamond ex
perts. Wyoming Orea Are Rich.
Dr. Day recently received a sample
of ore taken from the placer mines In
the Douglas Creek district in Wyom
ing. He found that the gold ran on an
average of $783 to the ton and that it
was 30 per cent magnetic iron. Reports
from that district are to the effect that
as a result of the analysis of Dr. Day,
experts are estimating the placer de
posits of that district to be worth,
from $15,00D,000 to $20,000,000. Dr. Day
stated that he did not know anything
regarding the placer mines of Douglas
Creek except that the samples sent to
him are very rich.
HI LISTENS TD BAND
GOOD PROGRAMME HEARD BY
GREAT THRONGS OF PEOPLE.
Large Attendance at All Concerts
Encouraging to Promoters ot
Open-Air Entertainment.
The crowd which gathered In the City
Park yesterday afternoon, a full half-hour
before" the open-air concert by the Mu
nicipal Band began, at 2:30, was an elo
quent expression of the public's apprecia
tion of this popular form of entertain
ment. Conductor Charles I. Brown's pro
gramme selections are decidedly popular
with the masses, and he never falls to
draw a splendid attendance.
The programme was, as usual, composed
of strictly high-class compositions, se
lected with a view of pleasing all tastes.
The opening number was the march from
"Tannhauser," and the enthusiastic ap
plause which It provoked signified many
lovers of Wagner among the audience. A
Strauss waltz, "Artist Life," seemed es
pecially fitting to the occasion, and the
delightful, dreamy weather of yesterday,
and many of the young people had diffi
culty in keeping their feet quiet during
its rhythmio strains. A Schumann num
ber was particularly pleasing to the mu
sicians, but the most popular heavy num
ber on the programme were the "Caval
lerla Rusticana" selections. Mascagni
himself would have been pleased with the
way Portland's crack band rendered the
Intermezzo. Sousa's rollicking two-step,
"Hail to the Spirit of Liberty," closed
one of the finest programmes ot the Sum
mer season. ,
The continued fine attendance at these
concerts is most encouraging to the pro
moters of the band. That such entertain
ment Is appreciated is more than evi
denced by the fine class of people who
attend, and the great numbers that cover
the grassy slopes commanding a view of
the grandstand. Many go to ether por
tions of the park and sit on the com
fortable benches, thus having a view of
the city and hearing the musio as well at
a distance.
The animals continue popular, especially
with the children. Enough peanuts are
fed the bears and monkeys each Sunday
to keep several poor families a week.
The lion was not nearly so popular as
usual, the children seeming to fear that
his cage was not safe and that he would
at any minute devour them. He is prom
ised a fine new home in the near future.
UP TO ST. JOHNS COUNCIL
Question of Telephone Franchise to
Be Settled Tomorrow Night,
At the meeting of the St. Johns Coun
cil tomorrow evening, the Councllmen
will be face to face with a very difficult
problem. The telephone franchise ordi
nance, which has Men pending for sev
eral months before that body, will again
come up, and this time the proposition of
the Pacific States Telephone Company
will have the backing of most of the
business men of St. Johns. From the
jtlma. the company, made application foi e. i
GROUNDS
franchise the Council has steadily re
fused to consider an ordinance that did
not require .some direct compensation,
while the company has persisted in re
fusing to accept a franchise with Buch a
requirement, except what Is contained
in its own ordinance submitted two weeks
ago. The -company submitted an ordi
nance for a franchise for 21 years, the
first ten years to be entirely free from
all direct charges, but from that time to
the end of the 21 years the company
agrees to make payments to the amount
of $1700. This the Council rejected. The
Council has been holding out for 2',4
cents per telephone per month during the
life of the franchise. The company, in
addition to the $1700, offers to give the
city officials free telephones and maintain
a telephone exchange in St. Johns. But
its main contention is that It is giving
the people of St. Johns much more than
the 24 cents per telephone by providing
for free switches between St. Johns and
Portland, while it makes charges between
Portland and Oregon City and Vancouver
and other outside corporations. It fur
ther sets forth that it has never made
money in St. Johns, and will have to ex
pend at once $U,O00 or $20,000 under its
proposed franchise.
There will be a petition, greatly en
larged as to signatures, before the Coun
cil tomorrow evening from business men
who say that they now have no tele
phone service and cannot transact busi
ness over the wires at present. They de
mand the Council to pass the company's
franchise, so they can get an improved
service. It is an Interesting question as
to what the Council will do in the face of
this strong petition from the business men
of St. Johns.
Y GULCHES FILLED
CENTRAL EAST SIDE WILL SOON
HAVE EXCELLENT STREETS.
Bridges Are Tabooed and Many Im
provements Now In Progress Will
Make Roadways Modern.
Central East Portland will have excel-;
lent streets when improvements now un
der way and projected have been com
pleted. Fills are the . rule, and no more
temporary elevated roadways are to be
built. The street-Improvement area ex
tends well back from the river. A fill Is
being made on East Ash street, where
the wrecked bridge between East Twenty
third and East Twenty-fourth streets is
being replaced with solid earth, about
23,000 cubic yards being required.
East Ash street is being Improved to
East Thirty-first. East Ankeny Is being
improved from East Twenty-third to East
Twenty-eighth, and here also a consid
erable fill has been made to take the,
place of the old elevated roadway. East
Couch street Is being improved between
East Twenty-fourth and East Twenty
eighth, a big fill being made at one point,
the earth coming from the cuts made on
the street.
It is now proposed to extend East
Twenty-eighth street across Sullivan's
Gulch by means of an elevated roadway
over the lumber-yards of Doernbecher
Furniture . Factory. A resolution has
been passed by the Council authorizing
the City Engineer to prepare plans and
estimates of cost. It will take a long)
roadway to span the gulch, over 00 feet.
On the north side of the gulch, East
Twenty-eighth street has been graded
down to the edge, preparatory for the
roadway There is a growing settlement
north of Sullivan's Gulch, and many pre
tentious dwellings have been erected and
others are going up. A very wide dis
trict is Interested in the erection of this
roadway, to bring that section north of
the gulch under the protection of the
proposed engine, which is to be located
on East Davis and Twenty-eighth streets.
Several miles of hard pavements, the
first to be put down in East Portland,
are -under way. Good progress Is being
made on the hard pavement on Union
avenue. Bltullthlc material Is being laid
between East Burnside and Oak streets,
and this same class of Improvement will
be continued south to Belmont, when the
fill under way at East Stark street is
completed. On East Burnside street the
preliminary work for hard pavement is
under way. It . will be laid out to East
Eighth street at present. There Is delay
on the Grand-avenue improvement, and
it now appears that the Union-avenue im
provement will first be completed, which
will certainly give it a start ever Grand
avenue. A petition for hard pavement
wll soon be circulated between East
Burnside street and the Sullivan's Gulch
bridge. Work is going forward on Holla
day avenue between Larrabee and East
Twelfth streets. From Union avenue to
Holladay Park the street will be parked.
The curbs are being pushed out into the
street, so that the roadway will be nar
rowed, leaving room outside the side
walk for lawns and flower gardens. In
North Albina several streets extending
north from EJUingsworth avenue are
being parked. In Albina, Russell street
is to be Improved with hard pavement
between Williams and Union avenues.
Good progress is being made on the
preliminaries for the hard pavement on
Hawthorne avenue from East Third to
East Fortieth street. As two-thirds of
the property-owners interested signed for
the improvement it Is expected that it
will go through. There is some delay
with the fill on Hawthorne avenue be
tween East First and East Third, but
the preliminaries are going forward again.
The preliminaries for the improvement of
East Stark are under way again, and will
probably go through this time, which will
make it a good street from East Water
to East Twentieth street

FIRE ON BULL RUN
Fierce Flame Put Out After, a
Hard Fight.
WATER SUPPLY IN DANGER
Campers Supposed to Have Ignited
Foresta Which Safeguard Stream
and Cause Even Flow to
Portland's Fountain,
Portland's permanent source of water
supply came near being seriously af
fected Saturday and yesterday by a
forest fire which destroyed about five
acres of timber land in the Bull Run
reserve. After a hard battle lasting
from Saturday night until yesterday
afternoon, a large force of men sub
dued the flames. Had the fire assumed
great proportions it would have been
utterly impossible to have controlled
it and Portland would have suffered
a severe loss, as had the timber been
burned off. but little water could have
been obtained from the Bull Run River
during the dry season.
Saturday afternoon one of the rang
ers discovered a fire near the South
Fork of the Bull Run River about
three miles from the east works. All of
the rangers were summoned at once
and other men Joined in the light
against the flames. For a time the fire
looked serious and Superintendent
Dodge, of the water department, was
notified. Preparations were made to
assemble a large force of men to fight
the fire, but he received a telephone
message yesterday afternoon that the
fire had been stamped out.
Every possible precaution is taken
to prevent a forest fire in the Bull Run
reservation. No one is allowed within
certain limits and the reserve is pa
trolled by seven men, four of whom
are paid by the City of Portland. In
the Summer the underbrush is as sus
ceptible to fire as a tlnderbox. It is be
lieved that some trout fishermen
strayed into the reservation and were
oareless with their campfires.
"Bull Run water would soon be a
thing of the past if a forest fire should
sweep the reservation," said Superin
tendent Dodge yesterday afternoon
Just after he had received the welcome
news that there was no more danger.
"If the timber should be destroyed
there would be nothing left to con
serve the water supply and while there
would be plenty during the rainy sea
sons. In the Summer there would be
practically none. Portland would have
to go elsewhere for water.
"There Is a heavy snowfall during
the Winter upon the reservation and
because of the thick timber this melts
very slowly so that all Summer long
we have water. But if the timber
should be burned off the snow would
all melt in the Spring and there would
be none to keep up the Bull Run River.
Realizing how Important It is to pre
serve this timber, we are doing every
thing within our power to prevent se
rious fires."
Runs Away While Wife Is
Taking & Bath
Youthful Albert Rahlcnbrck Takes
Family Belonglnjra and Retreats
but Chanters Ilia Mind and Re
turns Home.
WHILE his wife waa taking a bath,
Albert Rahlenbeck,. the 21-year-old
husband of bis 30-year-old better half, sud
denly decamped fronV the Rahlenbeck
domicile last night, taking with him 60
hard-accumulated dollars, a boiled shirt,
two pair of socks and the marriage cer
tificate. The cause of the young man's
sudden flight cannot be accounted for by
the police. Answering a hurried telephone
call. Detective Smith went to the Rahlen
beck home at 0S3V4 Hood street with all
speed. He learned a few particulars of
the retreat of Rahlenbeck and headed for
the depot to cut off his escape. Whether
Rahlenbeck'a better nature prevailed or
whether he learned that he could not
escape, he changed his mind about leav
ing Portland with the Rahlenbeck valu
ables and returned to his wife. Smith
watched departing trains in vain until he
was notified that the fugitive had re
turned to his home.
As far as can be learned, the bath in
which Mrs. Rahlenbeck was Indulging
seems to be the cause of Rahlenbeck'a
sudden if not protracted flight. Going to
the bathroom door after Mrs. Rahlenbeck
had been sporting around 4n the tub for
fully half an hour, Rahlenbeck Is reported
by Smith to have asked: "Are you hav
ing a good time, dear?"
Mrs. Rahlenbeck is reported to have
said that she was having the time of
her life. Taking advantage of his wife's
lengthy Immersion, the youthful lord
of the household made hurried prepara
tions to leave. Taking the $60 from the
cache, rolling up the socks and the boiled
shirt In a small bundle and snatching up
the marriage certificate, Rahlenbeck left
the house. How long Mrs. Rahlenbeck
remained in the water after the departure
of her spouse is not known, but when she
did come forth she discovered what had
happened and reported the affair to Cap
tain Slover. Slover Immediately threw the
police bloodhounds on the scent, and by
their efforts or Rahlenbeck'a remorse a
home was prevented from being broken
up.
