Is lost because tt has been sold to the East Side Sawmill Company. He said yesterday that the land could be had by starting condemna tion proceedings at once. The tract is the only available piece on the river at fiellwood. Councilman Wills said that no time should now be lost in obtaining- a number of small tracts for parks before the available pieces are sold for residence or business purposes end the cost becomes very hlsh. He said that he was opposed to the purchase of large tracts anywhere In th city, either on the Buat Side or "West Side, but favors a number of smaller parks close to the people. "The trouble with some of the members of the Park Commission." declared Mr. Wills, "is that they are not practical. We want a sys tem that will accommodate the people. If Mr. Lang had about $10,0)0,000 he would be a good man to turn loose in Portland, but we have not that much money and must cut our cloth accordingly. Let us have a number of small parks, breathing epots here and there, and not great tracts anywhere." OOMPLETINO COUNTT EXHIBIT. A. F. Miller, of Sellwood. who is preparing the etnte fair exhibit for Multnomah County, says that the display of grasses and grains, which is now practically finished, is better than in former years, but In fruits and vegetables, owing- to the back wardness of the season, t has been diffi cult to collect a creditable display. In small fruits, including cherries, straw berries, blackberries and peaches, Mr. Miller has got together a very fine dis play In cherries Multnomah County will take high rank. Mr. Miller last week secured some splendid peaches from a farm on Columbia Slough, which he con fifkra the best he has seen. In potatoes, apples and vegetables the collection is incomplete, but as there is nearly a month yet before the state fair opens Mr. Mil ler expects to bring these up in time. The exhibit in whole or in part will prob Mv be broticht back and placed on ex hibition at the county fair at Gresham, which opens October 6. Counterfeiter's New Ipea. Charles Allen, a new arrival from Seattle, faces a long term in the penitentiary because of having tried a new idea in the science of making bogus money. Allen was ar rested by the local police at the Instance of Washington authorities, tt appears he had been making bogus gold pieces with tho American to stamp on one side and the stamp of an Argentine Republic coin on the other. The fellow seemed to think that was not an infraction of the law, at least that the United. States counter feiting law could not reach him. But it seems that there is an obscure clause in the law relating to just such an offense and fixing five years imprisonment as the penalty. At present Allen is held under a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses, but the Government charge will be substituted. Early Mornino Hold-Up. E. G. Speck, a bartender, was held up at East Sev enth and Bumside streets at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning, while on his way to work. Two men did the Job. one com manding his position with artillery, while the other conducted a foraging expedi tion through his raiment. The price of a quart of wine was taken from his vest pocket, together with a cheap watch. In looking for the hold-up men the police took Edward Jackson, a railroad man. In on suspicion. Jackson had a revolver In his pocket, but managed to prove that he was not in the hold-up business. He was taken Into the Municipal Court end fined J10 for carrying a gun. Wm, Take Care or the Water. "Water from Hawthorne Springs will be taken care of at East Ninth and Salmon streets, where there is already a fill. The spillway under the fill will be closed up. which will raise the water high enough to conduct the overflow into the Surnyside sewer by a large terra cotta pipe. This method will cause a consid erable lake south of East Salmon street, but it is the only feasible way to pro vide an outlet from the slough. Charter Commission Tovtoht. The charter commission will hold its second session at the City Hall tonight, when reports will be made by three commit tees, one on rules of order and proced ure.' one on the Des Moines plan of city srovernment and one on the present sys tem. It is thought probable that, because of the brief time which the committees have had to work in. they will not be ready to report at much length, and that they will ask further time. Visitor From Schenectadt. A, D. Og den. president of the Chamber of Com merce of Schenectady, N. Y.. was a visi tor to the Portland Chamber of Com merce yesterday and showed considerable Interest in this section of the country.

Mr Cook was telephoned for and came to the scene In his own automobile. No one, was sure that It was his wagon which had run over the Injured man, but Mr. Cook generously lifted Carter into his auto with the assistance of one of the bystanders, and conveyed him to 3t.
