MANY WILL PICK HOPS 10 AUTOMOBILE j tfv Ala-b . ! 1: : BAKER OUTLINES MEASURE Committee Will Recommend Ten Miles In Business District, Fif teen Miles in Residence Sec tion and Eight on Corners. POINTS OF NEW AITO 1ATT. I Ten miles an hour In congested districts. t Eight miles on hour while turning I corners. 1 Fifteen miles an hour in residence districts. I Never turn to the left. The Portland Automobile Club gave a practical demonstration to the members of the Council yesterday of the running of automobiles. At 2 o'clock eight of the largest and finest machines In the city drew up in front of the city Hall. Each machine left with from one to three Councilmen for a ride about the city. In the leading car, driven by J. B. Yeon, rode Councilmen Baker. Menefee' and an Oregonlan representative. Baker. Mene fee and Wallace compose t.ie committee of three Councilmen recently appointed by Mayor Lane to draw up a compre hensive automobile ordinance. Two hours were spent In various tests for speed on crowded streets, turning corners, passing streetcars and other ma neuvers. At the conclusion Baker, who Is chairman of the automobile committee, said: "It seems clear to us that 15 miles an hour Is a safe speed in the city except In the congested district. Here ten miles an hour is safe and reasonable. Turn ing corners at eight miles an hour Is all right. This matter of speed Is de ceptive. You think you are barely going above a walk, but the register shows ten to 12 miles an hour. Eight miles an hour seems even slower than walking, and you only realize your speed by comparing It with that of a man walking. Must Not Pass Cars. "One practice In this city the commit tee will probably try to stop: the pass ing of streetcars by swinging around them on the lefthand side. The practice Is dangerous tinder all conditions, and totally needless besides. There is no reason why a man or party in an auto mobile should endanger the lives of other people by moving faster than a street car on a crowded street. When behind the car the automobile had better stay right there than attempt to go around to the left. If the automobile is in a hurry there are plenty of side streets to take. "Another thing is that when a car stops to receive or discharge passengers the automobile must not block the street or the course of pedestrians across the street, but must stop behind the car a distance at least equal to me width of the street and the sidewalk. This Laves a way clear for other traffic and In no way affects the . automobile occu pants, as they must stop anyway. "We tried passing stationary streetcars on the left a number of times. Even with the car under expert control and trying an experiment with a sharp look out, we came within an inch of running down a girl who suddenly stepped from In fropt of the streetcar and right Into our path. If our automobile had not stopped within six feet we would have run her down. "ihe machine we were In today, by the way, could stop within six feet when traveling 15 miles an hour and within three feet when running (en miles. But all machines and all drivers are not as good as those we had today. The law must be framed to curb the reckless and Incompetent, and to protect, as far as possible, the most helpless on foot, chil dren ior instance. Consider Ordinance Tuesday. "Another thing our , committee will' probably recommend is that when turn ing from one street of a cross street the automobile be not allowed to shoot across close to tne lefthand corner. It must keep to the right of the street It is on until It comes to the righthand side of the cross street before It turns. In other, words, both in turning corners and pass ing streetcars the automobile must al ways keep to the right. "Of course all this is not official, but It is the expression of the personal opin ions of a majority of the committee based on what we have seen today, f he decid ing meeting will be held by the Council next Tuesday at 2 o'clock, when everyone who desires a hearing on the suoject may have It. It Is our object not to infringe in any way on automoblling, Lut to pass a just law. It is not an easy matter to settle this question of street traffic. WO NEW NAVAL STATION Move Not Contemplated by Govern ment, Says Senator Bourne. A letter was received yesterday morning by the Chamber of Commerce from Senator Bourne, who is at present at Deer Park, Md.. saying that at the request of the Chamber he telegraphed President Roose velt and the Secretary of the Navy calling their attention to the advisability of con sidering Columbia River points as a site for a United States Naval Station. Sen ator Bourne further says that Admiral Brownson telegraphed in reply that the purpose of the visit of Admirals Capps; Cowles and Holllday to the Pacific Coast was merely for the Inspection of the present stations. The Senator concludes by stating: "I Infer that there is no in tention at present of establishing any new naval stations on the Pacific Coast, but have assurances that Columbia River points will be investigated whenever the establishment of Pacific Coast naval sta tions In contemplated." The Portland Chamber of Commerce took the subject up with Senator Bourne on August 1. at that time Informing him that Portland would be pleased to have tiie proposed naval station established on the Columbia River. Fruit Exhibits at Salem. FOREST GROVE. Or.. Aug. 21. (To the Editor.) I should be glad to have attention of Oregon fruitgrowers called to the liberal provision made by the State Board of Agriculture for exhibi tion of our horticultural resources at the forthcoming State Fair at Salem. The Board lias set apart a very desir able portion of the pavilion for fruit exhibits, and has voted a generous al lowance for premiums. Secretary Frank Welch, of Salem, will furnish premium lists to all who - v ...... 1 - - TEARING apply. It would seem highly desirable to make as good a display as possible for the benefit of the large number of Eastern visitors who will undoubtedly attend the State Fair. We should miss no opportunity to impress upon visitors the possibilities of Oregon for fruitgrowing. . H. C. AT WELL President State Horticultural Society. FINE PHOTOS ON VIEW Benjamin A. Gifford's Collection Displayed In Chicago. Today will close a showing of artiBtic photographs of Oregon scenery that have been displayed at the Union League Club, Chicago, since August 8. These photographs represent almost 20 years' work of Benjamin A. Gtfford, of The Dalles. William McMurray, general passenger agent of the Harriman lines, sent these enlarged photographs east to be displayed where they can be seen by many thousands of people. The Union League Club counts among its members a number of business men of the mid-continent metropolis, and no exhibition made In that club has ever created more enthusiasm. The direct re sults have been that a number of Cnl cago business men will make a trip to the Northwest. These photographs are to be sent to morrow to Cincinnati where they will be shown before the National Ad Mens' Association, and- C. N. Black, as a rep resentative of the Portland Ad Mens' Club, will extend an Invitation from the commercial organizations of this city to hold their next annual convention In this city. These photographs have been circulated over the country and are now on ex hibit In the windows of railroad offices throughout the East and at the head quarters of a number of national organ izations where their influence will cer tainly be felt. Mr.' McMurray Is now planning to have a complete showing of Oregon scenery at the National Irrigation Congress which will convene at Sacramento September 2-7. The Board of Governors of the Port land Commercial Club has ordered 25 of the different photographs showing Ore gon scenes to be placed in the new home of the club. TAKES NAME "ST. JOHN" Historical Society Just Organized, Eliminates Old Error. The Saint John Pioneer Association completed its organization yesterday af ternoon hv the a (i on . i in a name con. stltution and bylaws. L. B. Chipman, j president, called the association to order, and Secretary Monahan read the consti tution and bylaws, which were later rec tified. There was extended discussion of the name and the spelling of me word "John." It has come Into general prac tice to spell the name of the town "St. Johns," although nobody seems to know why, as the founder of the town was James John. Secretary Monahan con tended for adopting the name John and quoted an editorial in The Oregonlan to substantiate his position. The constitution sets forth that the ob ject pf the association Is to collect and preserve the history of the place and to ho.u reunions. All who lived In St. Johns before 1889, whether iney are now residents or-jiot, are eligible to member ship. The committee on programme for the first reunion, which will oe held next Wednesday in Cedar Park, reported that George H. Hlmes ar.- J. H. Long, and probably Thomas Strong, would be among the speakers. There will be a short his torical address and half an hour will be devoted to reminiscences. Music will be provided. The exercises will be held at 10 A. M. One hundred badges were or dered for the occasion. A life-sized picture of jame John was brought to the meeting by Secretary Monahan, who reported tnat another copy had been ordered by the St. Johns Council for Its place of meeting. Mayor Couch has been appointed a committee of one to secure the picture and frame. Mesdames Scott, Leonard and Kendle were appointed a reception committee. LANE WILL VETO NEW BILL Council to Act Again on Anti-Trust Legislation. Because of its doubtful legality. Mayor Lane has determined to veto the Belding anti-trust ordinance recently passed by the Council. Upon request of Mr. Beld ing, the Mayor first bcneved that he would sign the measure and allow its defects to be mended by subsequent leg islation of the Council. Upon further con sideration he has decided not to sign an ordinance that is believed to be faulty, and will return It to the Council to be agajn passed In proper form. The action of the Mayor is due to the opinion of the City Attorney that the clause exempting labor unions makes the whole bill defective. Mr. Kavanaugh has so far only made an .oral report on tne ordinance, but will submit his contentions in writing to the Mayor.

"TFTT DOWN BUILDINGS ON SITK OF NEW BOISE 10 BE Oil MAIN LINE 1 MAYOR HAIXES' TALKS OF ITS RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT. .Not Only O. R. & X., but Chicago & Northwestern and Electric Systems Are in Prospect. Within a year Boise. Idaho, will be on the main line of the O. R. & N.." said J. M. Haines, Mayor of Boise, in the Port land Hotel last night. "At present Boise is on a spur running from the main line at Nampa. About SO miles east of Nain pa, near Orchard. -a cut-off is being run straight for Boise. Work was reported to have begun a week ago with a large force of men and plenty of material on the ground. It will be finished this year, and Boise expects to have through over land trains as a Christmas present. The main line will run west from Orchard to Boise, then down over the present spur to Nampa and on west to Portland. "Nor Is this the only new line we ex pect. The people in Boise believe that the Harriman interests have gone to work so rapidly because another road Is headed for Boise as fast as it can come the Chicago and Northwestern. Today the end of the line is near the western border of Wyoming, pointed straight for Boise and on to the Pacific. This will give Boise two main overland lines with in the coming year if all goes welL "But the long delay In giving this sec tion steam transportation has resulted In the completion of the finest electric line in the west from Boise to Caldwell. Next year it Is to go on just where to I am not now at liberty to say. . But 1 will say this, that this electric system is only a link In a coming chain of electric lines connecting all the cities, mining camps and farming sections of that part of the West. The result will be a net work of wires and rails just as is the case in the Middle West or in New Eng land. So the steam roads, seeing with us a rival growing up that they have every cause to fear, have suddenly awakened to the situation and gone to work to give us transportation facilities such as we should have had some time ago. "Give Idaho railroads and irrigation ditches and she can support several mil lion people. Portland is as much con cerned in all this as Is Boise In the long run, for all our trade with the western world must come right down the Co lumbia water-haul Into Portland. Port land Is the harbor of Idaho. The Gov ernment Is spending millions up there right now reclaiming the desert lands by means of storage reservoirs and irriga tion canals. Every shovelful of dirt thrown out of an Idaho Irrigation ditch or onto an Idaho railroad grade adds a cent to the ultimate value of every lot in Portland. "One million has been spent this year in and from Boise on electric lines alone. Another million will be spent next year, and possibly even more the year follow ing. Eight miles of electric lines were added this year to the street railway sys tem of Boise at a cost of $30,000 per mile, or a total of over $250,000. I am in a posi tion, to know that these figures are cor LOADED .Sk-i-l; : . ' - i:WZl I ..." 'feL. ' i r APRICOT TREES IX TOWN OF Bt'RXS. The above cut was made from a photograph of apricot trees in the garden of Mrs. W. E. Trlech. In Burns. Harney County.

"Idaho never had a better nor as large a crop in all lines as will be harvested this year. What we need up there more than anything else is labor. Men are scarce, and wages high. We are making an empire with our mines and farms. Today Idaho wants one million men. And in time they will be there, they and their families, for Idaho has the water, the soli, and the ore. The Columbia River Is our way to the sea and Portland Is our harbor. "Portland must wake up to the fact that this is so, and act toward all the Columbia valley as New York City does to the country behind, "it. No city can live unto itself alone. In the resources of Idaho. Portland has an empire to draw upon and trade with forever If she will only take advantage of her op portunity."

OREGON CITY, Or.. Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) The unexpected return of Mr. and Mrs. Thacker to their home on Molalla avenue and Roosevelt street last night after an absence of nearly a year, was the cause of a burglar alarm being turned in by t'helr neighbors and made Officer E. L. Shaw take a long walk up the hill and dow-n again. The Thackers had lost the key to their home and effected an entrance by break ing a window. The noise of falling glass was heard by a Mr. Henderson, who lives in the house adjoining, and as he knew the house was unoccupied he suspected burglars and aroused C. A. Frost, a neighbor, who turned in an alarm. The two men watched until the arrival of Of ficer Shaw, who entered to investigate, and found Mr. and Mrs. Thacker in their own house. Apologies and explanations were In order and the officer Is receiving considerable Joshing from his friends. Suburb Proud o! Free Reading Room. Montnvilla Branch Library the Re Knit of Work by Mother and Trnehr and a Credit to Com munity. BT T..IL.I AN TINGLE. N EXAMPLK of what a few enter prising mothers and teachers may gain for a community is to be seen by anyone who walks a few paces to the right after arriving at the Montavllla carline terminus. A modest sign says "Public Library Station." If you are wise you will step mt of the sun-glare Into the cool quiet room, where the light Is softened by crisp muslin curtains and green window plants, and where the long magazine-strewn table and the shelves full of attractive books offer you rest and entertainment. There are flowers along the tops of the bookshelves, and Interesting pictures displayed against an artistic burlap back ground. You are free to select the books you want; and Mcs. T. E. Mitchell, the custodian, stands ready 10 make sugges tions or to receive your request for any special books to be sent from the Port land Public Library. A few readers are exploring the shelves, and some young folks are sitting absorbea in tne Illus trated magazines. At the back of the main room is a smaller one. deserted In this fine weather, where the boys get together on Winter evenings and where little social gatherings have sometimes been held. You consider Montavllla fortunate in having such a COUNTY cozy place for young and old. This Is how It came about. A little more than a year ago the Mothers' Circle of Montavllla became In terested in the idea of a public reading room and deposit station in connection with the county department cf the Port land library. The teachers helped enthu siastically In the work, funds were col lected for furnishing, and an oli store building was rented. Then the women scrubbed and cleaned and painted and swept and garnished. The rather un sightly shelves not in use were hidden by natural-color burlap" with a flowered border lan adr.irable instance of the ar tistic use of inexpensive material). Cur tains were made, flowers donated, pic tures hung, books arranged, and the place transformed . beyond -cognition was opened last February with a social gathering and address from Judge Fraser and Miss Isom. There was an atten dance of 9W In the first month, rising to 1000 later; though naturally during the Summer months the numbers are not so great. The Public Library srpplies the books and the custodian; the rent and otner ex penses have to be met by voluntary con tributions. About 200 volumes, including dictionaries and works of reference, are kept on hand, and a weeKly messenger brings a supply of new books and those specially asked for. There are five other reading-rooms and 20 deposit stations now in the county. The value to -any community of such a means of forming and nourishing the reading and reference habit among young people can easily be seen b anyone. It is. however, best appreciated by teachers. who have had to struggle in a bookless district without the material to lend In terest and breadth to their pupils' studies, and by thoughtful mothers who are seeking for means of keeping their boys and girls "off the street." ' It says something for the practical good sense of Montavllla that during the past Spring there has been a great demand for books on gardening and housekeep ing and for such books as "The Self- Supporting Home," "Ten Acres Enough," "Three Acres and Liberty," and "The Practical Poultry-Keeper." It is gener ally noticed that books on farming are always more read In the suburban dls tricts rather than In thoroughly rural localities: but nobody knows whether the reason is to be found in the farmer's feeling that "all there Is to know, he knows it," or In his desire for a change of topic after a day's work among the real things. Nature books have also been popular. "Latest" novels are always in demand, regardless of the fact that older ones are usuallv better worth reading, it is in teresting. however, to note in this con nection that Jane Austin s "Pride and Prejudice" holds its own Lravely against newcomers, being taken out usually three times as often as some of "the best se..ers." "John Halifax" is another old time favorite and Custer's "Boots and Saddles" has been much read. I picked up that excellent and interest lng handbook entitled "Clean Milk." hop ing to find it well used, so that I might pay Montavllla a compliment,, but, alas! Perhaps It Is the title that Is rather for bidding, for surely it .3 a book of Interest to every housekeeper. Would you know the most popular magazines? For children, St. Nicholas; for men, The Scientific American and Harpers, and for women, The Ladies Home Journal. BRING CONVENTION HERE Portland Ad Club Arter'1908 Gath ering of National Body. If the Portland Ad Club docs not succeed In landing the 1908 Summer convention of the Associated Advertis ing Clubs of America for Portland, It will be no fault of the members of that organization. At the regular meeting of the club last night a letter was read from C. N. Black, the local delegate, 1n which h6 outlined Ills plan of campaign at Cin cinnati next week. It was voted to ask all the commercial bodies of the city to wire the convention asking for the next convention. President Hall, of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's Association, reported that the officers of the association would send wires asking that Portland be given the next convention. The O. R. & N at considerable expense, sent to Cincin nati a splendid collection of Oregon views and had printed a folder of greeting from the Portland Ad Club, telling why the next convention should be held here. During the meeting last night James J. Brudy, the popular and genial ad vance man for Ringllng Brothers' cir cus, entertained the advertising men with accounts of some of his experi ences since being in the show business and paid a high tribute to Portland and Its wonderful progress. As a compli ment to his long service In the adver tising profession he was elected a life member of the Portland Ad Club, and. In response to the action, he declared that Portland would always be men tioned In his Interviews in going over the United States. The members of the club contemplate putting on a minstrel show In October under the direction of A. Lincoln Hart and President Custer appointed R. M. Hall, B. I. Dasent and Tom Richardson as a committee to confer with Mr. Hart and report at the next meeting.

Men Declare That Western Union I Losing $1,000,000 Daily, and That Their Cause Will Erentually Win. Striking telegraph operators in Port land are scattering In many different di rections and are taking up other llnees of work. The majority of those who went on strike have either left the city or have secured positions away from a tele graph key. Many will go to the hop fields, while others are away on vaca tions. The men' expect the strike to continue for some time, but they express confi dence in the outcome and are standing firm. The watchword is "stick." at union headquarters. The strikers say the Western Union Is out $1,000,000 a day in excess of Its usual expenses while the strike lasts, and the men believe they will win, no matter how long the tele graph companies resist the demands for the concessions sought. That the strike will last for some time is shown by the fact that union opera tors are being taxed a day's pay for the strike fund. Those in Portland who have the amount on hand and are not In financial straits themselves are con tributing cheerfully. The failure of thei Oregon Trust & Savings Bank was felt by the operators, many of whom had their money In that institution. Messenger boys on strike against the Western Union held a mooting yesterday and some broached the matter of going back to work. This was firmly opposed and upon a vote being taken, the poll showed 15 to S In favor of staying out. Brokers' offices In the city remain closed, and this is taken by the strikers as an Indication of victory for the opera tors. They say It shows how demoralized the telegraph companies are throughout the country. During the first few days of the strike the brokers' business went on as usual, but now It is impossible to get the quotations through. Manager Dumars of the Western Union continues sanguine and says business is being carried on as usual without serious delays. He still .predicts that the strike) will" be broken within a short time. The same foroe of strike-breakers at the Western Union office Is at work. There were no desertions from the ranks of the union yesterday so. far as known, nor ad ditions to the forces of the companies. Letters received at strike headquarters from the other cities of the country yes terday were optimistic Strikers in each city are Issuing letters in duplicate which they send to all other cities, telling of conditions. Advices from Chicago were encouraging to the operators, and all points reporting showed confidence in the outcome. So far as could be learned from- these reports, the men are standing firm all along the line. Jf Posters were issued ?Cterday r-y h operators calling attentio'ta to the tele graphers' ball at Murlark tiall, August 29. Tickets have been placed oir .sale at Schiller's cigar stores and at union bead' quarters in the Esmond Hotel. HEAVY FROST IN PALOUSE Damage Done to Gardens Unusual Weather for August. PALOUSE. Wash., Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) The Palouse country has been visited for the past two nights with frost, something most unusual at this time of the year, and damage has been done to the potatoes and garden truck. From the neighborhood eight miles east of this city, in Idaho, farmers bring word that the potato tops were thickly fronted in many places. The weather at the present time la more like September than the middle of August. While it is warm in thrt middle of the day it gets unsually cold in tho evening and night. The cool weather is ideal for harvesting and rapid headway is being made in sav ing tho crop. It is estimated that the harvest will have been done by Sep tember 10 if the weather remains favorable.

FOOD FACTS Grape-Nuts FOOD A Body Balance. People hesitate at the statement that the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds of meat might contain more nourishment than one pound of Grape Nuts, but not in shape that the system will absorb as large a proportion of, as the body can take up from one pound of Grape-Nuts. This food contains the selected parts of wheat and barley which are prepared and by natural means predlgested, trans formed Into a form of sugar, ready for Immediate assimilation. People' in all parts of the world testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. A Mo. man says: "I have gained ten pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I cart truly recommend it to thin people." He had been eating meat, bread, etc., right along, but there was no ten pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts food was used. One curious feature regarding true health food Is that Its use will reduce the weight of a corpulent person with un healthy flesh, and will add to the weight of a thin person not properly nourished. There Is abundance of evidence to prove this. Grape-Nuts balances the body In a con dition of true health. Scientific selection of food elements makes Grape-Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious flavor and powerful nourishing properties have made friends that in turn have made Grape Nuts famous. "Trere's a Reason." Read, "The Road to W'ellville," in pkgs.
