PLANS ARE READY Capacity of Terminal Yards . to Be Doubled. WAITING ON KRUTTSCHNITT Orders to Go Ahead Will Be Given as Soon as Harrlman, Director of Maintenance, Gives Ills Assent. The extension of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company's , yards to avoid the congestion of traffic that now obtains awaits the coming of Julius Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance and operation of the Harrlman system. Mr. Kruttschnitt Is now on his way to Portland from San Francisco, and will probably arrive here this week. He will look over the plans and his approval will hasten the scheme Df extension. In a general way, the plans already pre. pared for the enlargement of the terminal yards Include the doubling of the present trackage and the building of additional Creight-iiouaea (a cax tot tb lacrased. traffic handled In the yards. It was ex pected to have these Improvements com. pleted this season, but delays were ex perienced In putting the plans Into effect. There. has been an Improvement In the dispatch given cars in the terminal yards, as a system of switching has been ar ranged that does away with so much shunting of cars to and fro. Northern Pacific freight trains are using the tracks near Llnnton for making up short trains of freight cars having a common siding, and the group of cars la then pulled to the yards and shunted on a switch. Formerly the cars were sorted out In the terminal yards. The same system Is being followed by the O. R. & N. and Southern Paciflc. the .switching by these roads being done for the most part In East Portland and Alblna. Work on the new Hill terminals in North Portland, lying west of the termi nal yards, will be commenced In earnest in the Spring. The filling of the low grounds In the tract is now in progress and will be continued throughout the Win ter. What use the Guild Lake tracts recently acquired by the O. R & N. Co. will be put to is not yet given out, but It is sup posed they will be turned over to the Northern Paclflo Terminal Company, in which the Harrlman interests own the controlling interest.

Blalock Plans Great Gath ering to Shoot All the Jack rabbits or Drive Them Into the Colombia River. WANTED THREE HUNDRED MEN TO take part In a rabbit drive; meals will be - furnished by the management. Apply to Dr. M. Q. Blalock, Walla Walla, Wash. Portland people are to be treated to a genuine Australian rabbit hunt some time during the month of October. The scene of the sport is to be Blalock Island In the Columbia River, near Coy ote, on the O. R. & N. Dr. N. O. Blalock, president of the Fruitgrowers' Association of Washington, and owner of Blalock Island, formerly known as Long Island, was in Portland yesterday for the purpose of interesting jjartsmea bexo Ja Lb a big bunt, Aa ex- fort will te made to secure reduced rates on the railroad for the occasion, and If Is probable that a large number of en thusiastic., huntsmen will go from this city to take part. Mr. Blalock promises, to meet those who go from -Portland at Coyote Station, transfer them to the island and furnish the meals for the small army of rabbit hunters. A number of Tacoma and Walla Walla people will, also take part In the drive, as well as a number of Indians who reside in that vicinity. On the morning of the great drive the men will be organized army style and a captain and lieutenants selected. Then the crowd will be taken to one end of the island, formed in line and march toward the enemy. But the enemy in this case will make no resistance. The rabbit's only protection is in flight- Each "soldier" will be armed with a gun, a double-barrel shotgun or a re peater preferred. The drive will be six miles in length, the distance from one end of the island to the other. As the march proceeds, the line extending from one side of the island to the other, the game, or rather pests, will be slaugh tered. The little animals that are wise and continue ahead of the shooters will be cornered at the end. They will have to choose between drowning and being riddled with fine shot. . It Is expected that now and then dur ing the chase a coyote or fox will be encountered. ThiB will relieve the monot ony of Just shooting rabbits, and help to make the day a great one in every par ticular. A number have already inter ested themselves in Dr. Blalock's rabbit drive, and are looking forward to the big hunt. Last spring a drive was held on the island and 1600 rabbits met their death as a result. The little animals bftvtt multiplied, to socb aa extent tb&t there are thousands on the island and more than ever before. . Blalock Island is devoted to farming, and is six miles long and from a mile to two miles in width. It contains 4000 acres of land owned by the Blalock Com pany, of which Dr. Blalock is the presi dent. Altogether, the company has 17,000 acres . under cultivation in that vi cinity. Dr. Blalock owned the island years ago, but during the panic in 1893 was compelled to give up the land. Recently he again secured- posses sion of the tract, and is now carrying out his one Idea in life to have a model farm in every particular. This' year 12.000 apricot and plum trees were planted. Nearly 100 people are employed by the Blalock Company. About 60 of these live on the Island, where modern and com fortable houses have been erected for their benefit. Each laborer who has & family la provided with a home free. Dr. Blalock's residence is also on the island. Nine immense buildings for the stor age of hay are being erected. There will be sheds for the different kinds of ma chines, stables for the horses, buildings for the protection of stock, and every thing oonstructed to make the place per fect in every detail. Roads will be laid out about the differ ent sections, the irrigation ditches con structed as the doctor thinks they should be, and everything done to make the im mense farm a model one in every way. In addition to the cultivation of fruit and hay, the company will also pay par ticular attention to the raising of stock. Dr. Blalock left last evening for Seat tle on business connected with the model farm. While in Portland he was a guest at the Perkins Hotel. thought he saw an opportunity to do business in St. Johns, and went there last week to establish a newsstand. He set up a big shelf and stand on Philadel phia street, taking up two and one-half feet of the sidewalk. There is an ordi nance against obstructing the sidewalk, ana Chief of Police Bredson took him before Recorder Thorndyke, who imposed a fine of to. He allowed the stand to remain until yesterday, when he under took to remove it, but waa stopped by the Chief of Police. Handley had agreed to move the obstruction by last Monday, but failed to do so. For a second of fense the fine is 50. Newsstand Man Has Trouble. J6 W, HancEey a Portland cigar, jnan. Picnic at Hawthorne Park. Hawthorne Park was filled with boys and girls all day long yesterday. This time it was the annual festival of the young people of St. Paul's German Lu theran Church, East Twelfth and Clinton streets. Rev. August Krause, the pas tor, was in charge, and he was assisted by members of the church. In the fore noon a brief programme of music and recitations was rendered on the platform under the direction of Rev. Krause. This was followed by a picnic luncheon under the shade of the trees and along the clear lake formed by the flow from Haw thorne Springs. In the afternoon games were played and songs sung. Shoes and stockings were discarded and a frolic was had wading In the shallow waters of the lake, or playing in the springs. The chil dren voted that the city of Portland should buy the park. Almost every day some East Side organization spends the day in Hawthorne Park. Tacoma Objects to Rates. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 8.
