155 BIRDSEYE VIEW OF THE LADD FARM, SHOWING ROAD WHICH IT IS PROPOSED TO OPEN THROUGH THE TRACT TO CONNECT EAST GL.ISAN STREET AND VILLA AVENUE .P It-.'0'" n S A L EE 0 J? SQ- " t. rf (I 5CS r r , , , - """" jr JCJ m THE POOR In all probability it will he announced at a special meeting of the Montavilla Board of Trade this evening what kind of a highway will be opened through the T-acld farm, between the Base Line and Sandy roads, to connect East Oilman street and Villa avenue. Secretary William de Veny, of the Board of Trade, said yesterday that Mr. Ladd had agreed to announce today just what he would do about opening this street and how wide the street would be made. It is announced that Mr. Lad d favors a 100-foot street through the farm, and was opposed to any street less than SO feet wide. Frior to his departure for the East Mr. Ladd was not Inclined to favor any street being opened through the farm, hut since his return he has informed several of the people Interested that he favors either an fO-foot or 100-foot street, but is opposed to a 60-foot thoroughfare. He said that he did not want to antagonize the people of Center Addition and Montavilla. nor did he want to be antagonized by them. Plans for platting the farm along artistic lines have been adopted and are being worked out. A surveyor has been at work for several days in the field. For several years the people living east of the Ladd farm have wanted to get a street through it, and the people of Center Addition voted for annexation largely for this purpose and for Bull Hun water. Villa avenue extended to a connection with East Glisan will follow the right of way of the Portland Railway Company. Beyond the Wi berg lane to the city limits there have been some differences as to whether Villa avenue should be 60, 70 or 80 feet wide, but the recent decision of the people between Wlbert lane and West avenue is that they want a 60-foot street. However, if the Ijadd estate will open an SO-foot. or 100-foot, street it may change the situation materially with those who have heretofore opposed a wide street. Secretary do Veny said yesterday that he favored an 80-foot street to the city limits, provided it does not delay the putting down of a water main to Montavilla from the Bull Run system. He says that the outcome depends on wha't answer Mr. Ladd gives the people this evening. He hopes that as a result there will be a fine street, not only to Montavilla, but on to a connection with the Sandy road, or to Fair view. There are 'large and growing settlements east of the Ladd farm at both Center Addition and Montavilla, prob ably 3ino people altogether, who are deeply interested In the proceedings to get a street through the farm that now stands like a Chinese wall between them and the rest of the city. Councilman Kellaher said yesterday that there was no question that these people were entitled to a hearing,, and remarked that he stood ready to assist them in every way possible. ' When informed that the farm was being platted, he remarked that he would oppose any plat that did not have connecting streets. It is said that the plat will be on the "contour-' plan, following the natural inequalities of the surface of the tract. HOSE READY TO OIE Declares He Did His Best to Reform Madge Wilson. LOVED WOMAN HE KILLED Murderer Denies That lie Accepted; Earnings of Her Shame Says' Mistress. Was Vnwilling to Abandon Fast Life. Henry Hose, the convicted murderer of Madge Wilson, his miatress. stated yes terday that he did not eleep any after the verdict of the jury was rendered until 6 o'clock the next morning. He was still sleeping when his attorney called to dis cuss the subject of an appeal, and was not awakened. In the afternoon Hose de clared that he wanted the whole thing ended as soon a possible. "I would .sooner see it go the way it is going." said he, "than to be placed be hind bars for life. The only statement I wish to make is that nobody tried harder than I did to make a decent woman out of Madge. I thought a great deal of her. I had a chance on two different occasions to go to work on a ranch, and tried to get her away from the city, but she was too deeply fascinated by its allurements. I told her more than once that I would give my last drop of blood if I could make her happy and contented. "I am not trying to whitewash myself, or anything like that. When she was not under the Influence of liquor or opium she was a well-behaved woman. "I realize that I did wrong, and feel sorry for it. God knows what I have suf fered and still suffer for what I have done, and I shall gladly suffer any pun ishment the court may give me. I hope I may rest in peace from now on. "There is another request I have to make: Please say that I give my thanks to those people who contributed to a fund to pay the funeral expenses of Madge, and also deny that I was living oft her earnings.. I came here with J:110 that was jaid me after my discharge from the Army, and I can prove that I earned J190 more working for wages here. That makes a total of $r."0. and as 1 only met Madge in Portland last Summer, we could have lived pretty swell with that much money without my depending on her for support." Iliwe stated that he was born November 2S, 1S74, at Hcssen. Germany, and has a father, brothers aiJ sisters still living there. He also has an uncle in Wisconsin. When asked it he intended to notify any of I lit; relatives of his plight, he respond ed: "I may Just before the end." Hose served five years and two months In the regulax Army, and saw service in the Philippines, Hawaii and In different parts of the Cnited States. Company on March 15. 1906.

State Food and Dairy Commissioner Bailey Gives Interesting Statis tics In His Annual Report for Last Year. Oregon's dairies and creameries sent out in 1005 products valued at approxi mately $25,000,000. State Dairy and Food Commissioner Bailey has just completed his report for that year which he will submit to the Legislature when It meets in January. Commissioner Bailey esti mates that the output for 1906 will ex ceed that of last year by fully 40 per cent. In compiling his figur3s he received reports from creameries, ' dairies and cheese factories throughout the state and his figures are as accurate as it is possible to' obtain. The milk, condensed milk, cheese and butter produced in Beaver state for the year 1905 were valued at. $27,925,000. Milk alone represented $24,750,000 and the other products $.1,175,000. It is believed that $25,000,000 Is a conservative estimate of the dairy and creamery products made from the milk. If the milk produced by the Oregon cows were placed in one tank the 82,500,- 000 gallons would fill a reservoir 740 feet square and 30 feet deep and b(g enough to float several ships. Estimating that there are 500,000 people in Oregon there were 165 gallons for each person. But millions of gallons of milk leave Oregon annually, principally in the form of con densed milk, cheese and butter. The creameries made 7.000.000 pounds of butter and there was about 3,000,000 poumls of dairy butter produced. All the butter was valued at $2,500,000. If this butter were made into a solid cube it would be 50 feet high and 59 feet square. Butter is usually retailed In two pound bricks. If the bricks made from this butter were placed end to end they would reach 471 miles. About 300,000 cases of condensed milk were made, nearly all of which was shipped out of the state, a great deal of It going to Alaska. The output of condensed milk was valued at $195,000. About 4.000,000 pounds of cheese was manufactured, estimated to be worth $48,000. Commissioner Bailey has been at work compiling his report since the first of the year. Notices were sent to the various creameries and factories requesting that reports be made in accordance with the requirements of the pure food law. The proprietors have been dilatory in making out the reports, as the law sets no specific time for their being submitted. Commissioner Bailey this week, received the last of the reports from the large concerns. He was assisted In his work by P. Mcintosh who has been acting as dairy inspector. At the next Legislature Commissioner Bailey will probably re quest that an amendment to the pure food law be made, requiring the reports be submitted to him within a given time. 1 ' - BUSINESS ITEMS.

Various Charitable Institutions Draw Heavily Upon Organization for Articles of Clothing Dona- -nations Are Requested. The distributing bureau of the Portland Branch, Needlework Guild of America, presented" a busy appearance yesterday, when a host of earnest workers tolled from early morning until dark filling the requisitions of the various charitable in stitutions of the city for clothing and household supplies. Mrs. S. J. Reed, president of the Portland Guild, was in disposed and could not be present all of the day, but Mrs. W. H. Brewster, Mrs. Alexander Bernstein, Mrs. E. S. Hamil ton. Mrs. William Jones, Miss Kate Gile, Miss Anna Cremen, Miss Kate Cronin, Miss De Fries and others gave their services and distributed about 1500 arti cles among the many institutions of this city. It was found that there is need for fully that many thousand garments and the Guild regrets that it has not been able to., supply this heavy demand made upon it. The organizations supplied by the Guild tins year were the Magdalene Home, People's Institute, St. Agnes' Baby Home, Visiting Nurses' Association, St. Mary's Orphanage. Salvation Army Res cue Home, Baby Home, Children's Home, Crittenden Home, Day Nursery (Flower Mission), Home for the Aged, St. Vin cent's Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, Patton Home, Boys and Girls' Aid So ciety, Juvenile Court Detention Home, Volunteers of America. Home for Work ing Girls, Open Air Sanitarium, and ten private families. No reserve stock was held this year, but funds will be kept on hand to sup ply calls upon the Guild for clothing. There was a distressing lack of outside garments for both men and women, boys and girls, and donations of trousers, coats, shoes, cloaks and dresses will fill an urgent demand. Shdes of all sizes are also needed, and articles for men in hos pitals will also . be welcome to the dis tributors. The Needlework Guild has come to be recognized as 'one of the most practical of all agencies for distributing clothing for the poor. It does away with constant and individual solicitation and begging from merchants and families, and the management is most anxious for the merchants of Portland to form a chapter and make their donations to charitable institutions through this medium. Mrs. Reed, the president, states that mer chants would find it much less trouble to give what they feel disposed to donate to charity a'U at one time and thus be relieved of the embarrassments of a year round canvass. The Guild receives ready-made gar ments and household supplies and dis tributes them evenly and without favorit ism, so that they find their way to the needy and deserving poor of the city. This not only makes it easier for tha contributors, but simplifies the matter of the clothing supply for the many Insti tutions which have come to depend upon the Guild. While the annual distribution was made yesterday, donations will be received by Mrs. Reed and all section presidents at any time, as there Is a constant demand for supplies. Membership In this organi zation Involves only the donation of two or more madeup garments each year. As many more can be sent in as the member can give, but only two are required. Mrs. James S. Reed, the president, telephone Main 5701, Will give all information required. DECLARE F0RA CARLINE Union-Avenue- Property-Owners Will Make Formal Demand. Union-avenue property-owners met last evening and decided to advocate and work for an electric railway n Union avenue, between East Burnplde street and Haw thorne avenue, to be a part of an "all East Side" car line. Dr. C. II. Raffety was elected chairman. There was a thor ough discussion of the subject. W. H. Markell, W. L. Boise, C. E. Fields and others of the property-owners had al ready talked with Manager Fuller, of the street railway company, and the latter said his attention had been called to the matter only through the newspapers, hence he had not yet given it much con sideration. ( He expressed a willingness to take up the matter., It was decided last evening to lay the matter before the Portland Railway Company with a view to secur ing a franchise for the company on Union avenue between East Burnside street and Hawthorne avenue, and the routing of some of the cars now using the Sfeel bridge by way of Union avenue and the Morrison bridge. W. L. Boise pointed out that the impor tant thing to be obtained was a car line on the East Side that would do away with the Innumerable transfers and provide street-car facilities fnr the pupils who at tended the East Side High School. He also maintained that If such a line were established It would do much to build up business on the East Side C. E. Fields. W. I Boise, E. J Daly W. H. Markell and W. H.

WOULD NOT BE SEPARATED Vagrant Ordered Out of Town and Fal to Jail Without Success. The law tried to separate two fast friends yesterday forenoon and failed. The result is that the two friends occupy adjoining cells in the city jail and the city has them to support during the next live days. The two men are recent arrivals from Tacoma and' are distinguished by a strong aversion to any kind of work. They were arrested for wandering about the streets late at night and when arraigned before Judge Cameron yester day forenoon on a 'vagrancy charge pleaded not guilty. It was proved, how ever, that they have done not a stroke of work since reaching Portland three weeks ago. Nor have they ever been seen apart, being inseparable as the Siamese twins. It developed that the larger, Mike Course, secured a few hundred dollars by light work in Tacoma and that he has been supporting the friend, Jerry Fair, buying meals, lodgings and liquor. The brace has been out of funds for three days, although Course said Yip was ex pecting a remittance from his home in Michigan. Judge Cameron thought the two should be separated before the money arrived. He accordingly ordered Fair but of the city and sentenced Course to Ave days that he might have a place to remain untll his money arrived. Fair was given to securing a franchise to operate cars on Union avenue between East Burnside street and Hawthorne avenue. There was formerly a street-car fran chise on Union avenue, but It was aban doned when the street-car company se cured a blanket franchise in 1903. and hence a new one will have tr be obtained.
