I-ar.. delegations from South Portland and the South East Side are expected to srtend the first regular meeting of the ( tvlc Council tonight at the Commercial CI Mb building to urge the building of a hrlf'ire orrnil th H t ! -v I I T V. subject .ha been agttated the pant two ' years and recently has taken definite form. There is some difference of opinion over the location of the brldre, some con tending for Division street and others for Ellsworth street. The Civic Council recently submitted several questions to the Water Board to 'certain the general condition of the water piant. how soon the second Bull Run water main might he completed and what plans have been adopted for future Clstrlbutlon in the South Kast Side. Aftr telling of the contract let to Robert Waketleld Co. for the two Mount Tabor reservoirs to hold 50..0f") and 7S.000.rtO rations respectively, the reply says that reservoir No. S Is approaching completion, the concrete work being about naif done, and that It may be ready for the storage of mater about November 1. Reservoir No. Is near I nil completion, but will not he finished before next year. There Is yet no concrete lining-. the Clark County Harvest Show, which opens Thursday and closes Saturday, an immense tent has been pitched In the city park. In a grove of huge fir trees. In this tent will be the exhibits, which must be protected from the ralb. such as fancy work, needlework, baking, rakes, pies, all kinds of handiwork, curios and exhibits of a historical na ture. In cold storage are tons and tons of fruit, vegetables, nuts and all products grown In Clark County, including grain, grasses, pumpkins, squashes, muskmellor.s and watermellons. One squash weighs 74 pounds. During the entire three days there will be a regular programme, many men of prominence in the state and several from Portland being scheduled for addresses. Saturday is Portland day, when a championship niotorboat race will he held in the afternoon between the Wolff II and the combined Pacer II and the Seattle spirit. A purse of J100 will he awarded the winner. It Is expected that several thousand people from Portland will attend on Saturday. Many Port land wholesale houses have engaged space for booths at the show. A carnival amusement company will furnish diversion for the young and old and keep things moving in a happy vein.

The general plan for developing the dis tribution system includes the laying of feet of submerged sirel pipe across the Willamette River at Kast Clay street, connecting the present K-lnch conduit on Kast Third and Stephens streets. The ''nine Company has a contract for fur nishing this main and Robert Wakefield for furnishing the ball and socket Joints and laying the SO-lnch steel pipe, fur nished by the city. The Crane Company's contract Is for !". and Mr. Wakeileld's amounts to .'A7! About half the pipe for the second Bull Run pipeline has been manuf.icturod and shipped and the en tire amount will be shipped this year. SMx and one-half miles of pipe has been distributed along the line and two miles Is laid In the trench. Work of laying the pipe across the river has been started. the trench having been excavated so that It will he a feet below low water mark. A 3o-!nch main Is to be laid from reser voir No. ( to a connection with the SO- lnch low-service main now supplying t-unnyside and other districts toward the south. Proceedings for laying water mains In the South Bast Side have been delayed several months, owing to the difficulty of f.xlnr upon the limits of an assessment district satisfactory to all parties. A more difficult and expensive problem was encountered in furnishing Bull Run water to the newly-annexed territory in the South Kast j5lde. Including portions of W oodstock. The Water Board laid a 13 Inch main from reservoir No. 2 at Mount Tabor to a connection with the Wooiimere pipeline. This will cost a large sum. It being estimated that It will take approxi mately Vi miles of new pipe to cover the tllstrict and supply Bull Run water. Present pipelines in the district are too small and larger mains must soon be laid. It Is estimated that It will cost ISOO-OfiO to cover this district adequately alth water mains of sufficient size. " Revenue Is Explained. In answer to the question as to revenue for commercial purposes the report says that the charge Is the same for domestic purposes and the total amount received from this source for the year was S9.0!5, and It Is estimated that the receipts for 1S10 will be 675.0rt. Since January 31. 1!! 21.13 miles of mains hare been laid by assessments at a cost of CIS-JST. About J4 per cent of all places supplied with water have meters, and It Is estimated that It would cost !. to supply meters for the remainder, the maintenance of which would be lv) annually. Cost of maintaining the plant fur one year from head works to the city, including all re pairs. Is estimated at J 125.'"). The details furnished the Civic Coun cil cover a wide range, and Include a summary of expenditures from the time of the establishment of the city water works. The Civic Council wanted this Information so it would have a basis for future measures affecting the water plant. As these details bear directly on the new water amendment the Civic Council may decide to have the report printed In full for distribution to the push clubs for the Information of the members. Secretary Walker, of the Civic Council. Is of opin ion that the information furnished fhould go In full to the voters. BODY IS FOUND BY BOYS SflCIDE rxniCATED BY riSTOli LYING XKARHY. Skull Separated From Trunk and Mbs Protrude Possibility of Murder Considered. The dismembered and decomposed body of a man. whose death is believed to have been self-inflicted, was found in an ob scure pntch of brush, near the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks near Fulton yes terday afternoon. The discovery was made by Lawrence Pitts, of K3t First street, and Leo Yezerskl, of ZS Curry street, boys who were on their way into the woods to set a trap. The youths led Patrolman Maloney to the place. In a deep recess of the woods' Malonev discovered the body of a man. the lower part apparently intact, but the upper fiart badly decomposed so that the ribs showed through. The skull had be come disjointed and had rolled some dis tance from the body. About two feet away lay a cheap nlckle-plated revolver, with one chamber discharged. The body was lying face downward, the toes dug deeply into the ground. Cheap working clothes, including a pair of blue overalls, a pair of new, coarse shoes' and a black hat, covered the body. Maloney stayed only long enough to ob serve these things and then reported at headqutirters. The Coroner will take charge of the body? The place where the discovery was1 made Is a mile south of Hamilton avenue and not far from the railroad track. It appears from the surrounding circum stances that the man went with delib eratlon.to the spot to take his life. There is a possibility, however, that a mur der was committed and the weapon left by the body to cause deception. Maloney believes that no Identification papers will be found, as the clothing Qf the upper part of the body Is rott On account of the lntenrs of the hour at which the oase was reported and the difficulty to he encountered in reaching the pot, the Coroner will not send for the body until this1 morning. If no iden tification can be hud from articles on the person, an effort will be made to trace the man through reports of per sons who disappeared about the time when the death is supposed to have occurred.

Spe. cll- To hold part of the ciUblts of J Proposed legislation to prevent sal mon fishing In the Rogue River has aroused much opposition among the resi dents of Coos Bay. according to Captain T. J. MacGenn. of the steamer Break water, who arrived on that vessel yes terday from Coos Bay. Captain Mac Genn declared yesterday that the meas ure was the result of a controversy be tween politicians. . There Is no more reason why salmon fishing should be prohibited, even for a ltmltea time. In Rogue River than In Yanuinn. Coqullle or even the Columbia." said Captain MacGenn. "The proposed measure, it is under stood, will be championed by the people of Medford. and it Is certain thnt it will be opposed by residents near the mouth of the river. Such a measure would do more toward injuring the prosperity of that district than any law I can con template." Captain MacGenn brought his vessel to Portland on the regular schedule time yesterday, though other vesse.ls were forced to lay outside the bar at the mouth of the Columbia River yesterday morning for hours, owing to the dense fog. On the Breakwater were about 100 passengers. ISO tons of coal and 150 tons of general cargo.

Business Said to Be Crime Against Society. A Plea for the Portland Saloon" was the title piven by Dr. W. B. Hinson to his sermon at the White Temple last night. It mlirht well have been called "A Plea for the Portland Saloonkeeper." for Dr. Hinson pleaded with the male members of his congregation to put the saloon out of business at the coming; election. He said the chiof authorities In religion. both Roman Catholic and Protestant, were unanimous In declaring; the saloon the church's worst enemy, and asked what right members of his congregation had to vote for the continuance of the worst enemy of the church. I noticed one paper saying that we had better vote as we pray." he continued. "But th sneer was very untimely, and very stupid, for as a matter of fact, if you do vote as you pray you will not vote for the saloon. Christ sent his fol lowers Into the world to spread his Gos pel, btit 1 don't care what anybody- says. he never sent them into the world to per petuate the existence of the saloon. "One man. who was discussing this question said the saloonkeepers are his best friends. I am a friend of every saloonkeeper in the city of Portland, and in my restricted sphere am trying to take him out of a business which Is not worthy of a man. I am trying to protect him from the sneers of the people, who will vote for a cont'nuation of the crime which he calls his business. If you call him a disgraced man because he keeps a saloon you are yourself a disgraced man If you authorize him to keep it. "Some time ago an auto went over the Vancouver trestle into the river. At the time it was said those two people were under the Influence of liquor. I heard a man say the saloonkeeper who sold them the liquor should be put in the penitentiary. He would never have been a saloonkeeper if society had not licensed him to be one. "If this election goes the way the mothers pray, it will go dry, and it is not wise to sneer at mothers' prayers. Would you run a saloon?" OFFICER HURT IN FIGHT FALL WHEAT TO BE TRIED Upper Klamath Farmers Dissatis fied With Spring-Sown Grain. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.) That the farmers of the Upper Klamath country have come to the conclusion that they must resort to some other method to make a success of wheat raising, other than sowing In the Spring, is shown by the fact that a doxen of the largest farmers are banding together and sending away for Fall seed wheat with which to make a test the coming season. They intend to sow several acres of Fall wheat and give it a thorough test. That the farmers cannot successfully grow Spring-sown grain in the Upper Klamath country one year after an other has been demonstrated. With an unusually wet season Spring grain will make good yields, but with a dry sea son it is Invariably short and the yield is hardly worth harvesting. SALOOXMAV ANGERED BY PIOXAGE IS ARRESTED. ES Sergeant Declares Police Are Con' tlnually Subjected to Abuse and Will Prosecute. Resenting surveillance to ' which his saloon at Grand avenue and East Morri son street had been subjected during the election hours, F. M. Kelley emerged from the place at midnight Saturday and is aliepred to have assailed Police Ser geant Keller and Patrolman Miller with abusive language. "There's Keller," said Kelley, "He'll tell you how to get into Pomeroy's gambling game. ' Sergeant Keller explains that Kelley has had some trouble with a man named Pomeroy, who, Kelley alleges, is running a gambling game near the saloon, under police pro tection. Keller says that there are no tables In P.omery's place and that he has never seen any evidence of gamb lng being conducted there. , The officers seized Kelley, who fought back. Miller was badly hurt. Kelley was struck several times before he was sub dued. He was charged with being drunk and disorderly. During the .hours when the saloon was required to be closed. Patrolman Lither land, in plain clothes, watched Kelley's saloon. He saw the proprietor come out. carrying a paper. He met an acquaint ance and the paper passed between them. Litherland suspected that the paper in closed a bottle of whisky and continued his watch. In half an hour he saw Kelley come out again, with a bottle of whiskey in his pocket, but Kelley ap parently recognized the officer, as he re turned to the saloon without disposing of the bottle. Sergeant Keller says that the policemen on duty around the place have been sub- , Jected to continual abuse from Kelley for a long time. He will demand that Kelley be prosecuted vigorously. VARSITY STUDENTS SICK Washington Football Coach and Others Eat Poisoned Food. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Seattle, Wash., Sept. 25. (Special.)
