MUSIC PARTICULARLY GOOD Dance and Concert Appeal to 3Iany bat Athletic Events Please Young and Onlookers Have Plen ty of Enjoyment. Everybody loves a fireman for the nonchalant manner In which he follows a dangerous calling, and everybody loves a band. Therefore a fireman band, especially when It Is a good one like the Portland Fireman's band, of fers a strong appeal to the fancies of the populace. Little wonder, there fore, that on a fine day like yesterday, no less than 2009 people, at a conserva tlve estimate. Journeyed out to Esta cada for the firemen's picnic Cars started for Estacada soon after 8 A. M running; not In the usual cou pies, but in strings of eight. 10 and 12, each packed with a merry crowd, every member bent on enjoyment of a day in the country. And such a day for It Not a cloud in the sky, not too hot, and a gentle breese simmering through the trees. Scrambling down even before th cars had stopped, young and old made a dash for the woods, which seemed to swallow up the enormous crowd like some gigantic monster, ever eager for more. They came in their hundreds, they rushed right away into the shade of the trees, and yet apart from the Immediate neighborhood of the band stand and the dance hall, it seemed as though they had melted away from rlew. After luncheon had been prepared a the foot of some tree or in the shade of some bench, a rush was made for the springs at the foot of the lake. Pinned to a tree close by was the In vitation to "have a drink on us. and help us make a Cascade County at the aext election. Lnncheoa Enjored la Opes. After the Inspection of the springs was over the picturesque lake attract ed attention. All day boats and launches skimmed across Its surface, bearing merry throngs. By the time one had left the water side It was a case of "eats. No sooner had the cloth been cleared, metaphorically speaking, than two stampedes took place, one to the dance hall, where Le Vanway's Band diffused music until a late hour in the evening the other to the scene of the sports. close by the grandstand, where the Firemen's Band of over 2a pieces played selections grave and gay, dreamy waltz, a snappy march or a tingling two-step. As was only fitting, youngsters had pride of place on the sports pro gramme. The boys led off wltn a po tato and. spoon race. Each had to gather up the usual eight potatoes, one at a time, with a spoon, and convey them to one pile. In a close finish young Clyde Grose Just got the better of Paul Green. Vmt Woman ! Hard Luck. Little girls armed with that mighty ored to force an unwilling peanut over 10 yards of mountainous country. For the shoe race, all low shoes barred, a move was made to surrounmngs more congenial for the stockinged feet of frh- nnmnAtltAM OnA Tn ATI WfiB ATI MHV second, and wondered why everybody roared wltn laugnter wnen ne oemanu td a prize.

Somebody imagined that the whole of the fire department of the city had come out and was wondering what would happen if a fire should break out in Portland. All told.

Issued Saturday, for the arrest of Charles E. Pottage, a contracting foreman, who Friday night is alleged to have chewed off part of the ear of Thomas Conroy, business agent for the Hodcarriers' I'nlon. Conroy swore to the warrant Saturday. He said that the altercation rrew out of a dispute in a card game. The ball in his case was flxed at 500 wh. or J1000 bond. Although a policeman visited the residence of Pottage several times since ;he issuance of the warrant he has not found him at home, and a general order has been Issued to the police to pick Pottage up. should he be found. Pot tage has been frequently In the hands of the police, but has always escaped the charges against him. A year ago be escaped conviction on a charge of killing Frank Porter, a steam engineer who was working under him. FIRE SCAREJS EXPLAINED Discharge of Small Shot Is Only Seed of Scotch Broom Jumping. "There's a brushwood fire somewhere close!" The members of the party which hadjii distributed themselves comfortably in the shade In the City Park above the reservoir sat up attentively and lis tened. "Where?" "Can't you hear it crackling?" asked the first speaker. From- the direction of the big hedge of Scotch broom, along the driveway near the reservoir, came a continued snapping and crackling that seemed to verify his inference. "I don't see any smoke; that's rather strange." One of the men arose and walked In the direction from which the sounds came. "What the dickens!" he ejaculated, ducking suddenly as a shower of some thing like small shot pattered against his face. Then the mystery of the "brushwood fire" explained Itself. The whole hedge was full of ripened seed pods of the Scotch broom, and under the influence of the sunshine these were bursting open and "corkscrewing up" with sub dued popplngs and scattering little showers of ripe seeds in every direc tion. Throughout the entire length of the hedge the pods were flying open, and the combined sound of their bursting made a noise suspiciously similar to BRUIN ENJOYS RIDE Skating Bear at Oaks Takes Whirl on Blue Streak.

Jfew Structure Which Will $5000 Will Be Completed About October 15. Cost Residents of Rose City Park and others Interested In the movement for community social centers, assembled yesterday afternoon at East Fifty-seventh Street and Sandy Road when the corner-stone of the new Rose City Park Club House was laid. The site com- Drlses a triangular piece of ground, comprising six lots, bounded by the Alameda. Sandy Road ana .East firry seventh Street It Is one of the most attractive properties in that section commanding an unobstructeo view oi Mount Hood. The exercises were under the direc tion of Charles B. Merrick, who re viewed the circumstances leading up to the formation of the stock company financing the undertaking. W. F. Woodward was Introduced as the first speaker. He congratulated the rest dents or Rose tjity farit on tneir pro gressive 'spirit in inaugurating such a club house. Re said it was tne ex pression of a very profound movement in present day social life; one that has been gathering force In the last gen eratlon. He expressed the belief that such an institution would fulfill a need which churches and fraternal organ lsatlons cannot supply. The speaker also reviewed the history of the Irving ton Club, of which he is a member, from its small beginning. I cannot believe that your new club will ever be turned over to the city or will ever apply to the city for help, but will always remain In the hands of the residents of this section. A club house such as this under the super vision of wise parents will furnish all the diversion necessary ana young peo pie will not seek the crowded streets. Tou must give tnem tnese opportun ities or you will be committing a grave crime. This institution should not be left to a committee alone; every resi dent In the district should have a part in It" The next speaker was A. H. Metcalf, oresldent of the Rose City Park Club, one of the first residents of the dis trict who told of conditions there years ago. Frank Schlegel complimented the residents of the district lor tneir enter Drise in founding the club and pointed out the necessity ior sucn an institu tion. Others who spoke were: F. W. Whitfield, B. T. Peabody, T. T. Geer, H. J. Blaesing. The corner-stone was put Into posi tion by O. Q. Hughson. The metal box Disced In It contained copies or yester day's papers, together with a list of the city and state orriciais ana a copy of the city charter; a list of the names of officers and members of the club, with a brief review of Its history, and photographs. The new club house win be completed about October 15, at a cost of 15000. It will be of frame construction, with lounging rooms, reception rooms for men and women, retiring rooms and screened porches on the first floor, and a ball room, kitchen, and balconies on the second floor. The officers of the club are: presi dent A. H. Metcalf; secretary O. O. Hugbson; treasurer, C. B. Merrick. The directors are: F. H. Whitfield, H. J. Blaesing, Frank Schlegel and F. H. Hilton.

The plans were drawn by Will- & Raamuasenr sand saw Lady Livingstone, the skat ing bear, ride arovnd the Blue Streak, the fast new ride it the park. As an Indication that the speed mania Is not confined to the human biped, the black quadruped Insisted on being taken around the giddy circuit time and time again. A wager was responsible for bruin's Joy ride. Manager Cordray, of the Oaks, has been declaring that the yarns Dr. D. B. Boyd, the animal trainer, has been telling about his var ious animals in the circus are closely akin to those of the nature-fakir. Boyd Knew Ills Pet. Boyd's latest assertion was that the bear would be delighted to ride In the Blue Streak cars. Cordray ridiculed the story. "Bet you $10 you'll have a dickens of a time to get the animal off, when once she gets on," declared Boyd. "It's sheer bosh, but I'll take you," promptly replied the park magnate. Cordray, Boyd and the bear, the lat ter skating, proceeded to the ride. The bear took the front seat alone and Cordray and Boyd sat In the rear seat In 57 seconds the trio made the half- mile dash and during the whole dls tance the bear literally screamed with apparent delight if the sound a black bear makes can ber distinguished be tween a roar and a scream.. In place of being frightened Lady de manded more and yet more, showing a veritable Oliver Twist appetite. Mr. Cordray paid. CIrens Drew Big Crowd. The big Boyd Sc. Ogle One-Ring circus undoubtedly made a tremendous hit and crowds were unable to get near enough to see the acts at either performance. There are seven acts, mostly of an animal nature, and two performances will be given daily this week. To the delight of the crowds, King Pharaoh made his reappearance. King is the horse with the spotty coat and the high-school education. He and the Oaks Park Band will also be on the programme every afternoon and eve ning this week. Swimming was a very popular pas time at the park during the day. Good Things in Market THB "small fruits," though by no M, means out of the running, yet seem to have yielded place to the large fruits this week, watermelons, cante loupes and pineapples being partic ularly prominent with peaches, plums and pears in Increasing supply. Watermelons cost lhi to 2 cents pound probably as low as they will go, so now is the time to eat all you can, and as you can't can the rest you may as well make sweet pickles of It Canteloupes are to be had at 5 to 15 cents and pineapples at 10 to 15 cents each. The latter seem par ticularly good this week. Now Is the time for peach-plums, if you intend to put up any. They are to be had at 15 to 30 cents a basket Prunes, yellow plums and apricots sell at 20 to 35 cents a basket Peaches. pears and apples all cost 15 to 25 cents, and ripe figs 20 to 30 cents a dozen. May Duke cherries are in, and are good for preserving. They cost about io cents a pound, as do Black Repub licans. Red Oregon cherries cost 15, and BIngs 15 to 20 cents a pound. A few black currants are to be seen this week, but the gooseberries seem to be over. Red currants, red and black raspberries, and blackberries. both wild and tame, are available at iy to 10 cents a box. Grapes are be ginning to come in, and cost 15 to 25 cents a pound. Huckleberries are to be had, and, if you hunt diligently, you may possibly discover a few be lated strawberries. The first of the tiny pickling cu cumbers have made their appearance. Ordinary cucumbers are getting plen tiful, and sell at 2 to 10 cents each, according to size and quality. There is very nice looking egg plant to be had; and the green corn looks attractive, though a friend from the East Insists that it Is not possible to get really good corn here. An Oregonlan friend, on the other hand, assures me that Oregon grown corn Is better than any other, anywhere, so there you are. The only thing to do is to buy it and try it Tomatoes are getting cheaper; new green peppers are coming in, and oel ery Is not so hard to find as it was. Beans are perhaps the "best buy" Just now, at 6 cents a pound. Peas and asparagus are scarce, but obtainable. Summer squash, of several kinds. Is becoming plentiful. The round squash, stuffed with shrimp and tomato dress - ng, makes a good "meat substitute for a simple luncheon or supper. New potatoes are now to be ' had at 85 cents to $1 a sack. New in the fish appearances In the field. Reports, aris ing a few days ago, to the effect that the officials in the baseball game be tween the Ad men and the Press club men had been "flxed" so that the latter might win, are strenuously denied by President Vincent of the Press club, on the very simple grounds that the of ficials have not yet been chosen, and, moreover, that "the Press club men think they can clean the Ad men any how." Several special features of entertain ment at the picnic grounds are being kept secret to be sprung as surprises on the day of the excursion.

Charge Purchases Made Today, Tomorrow and Wednesday Wilt Be Entered on Your August Account Payable September First SPREAD OF RABIES FEARED Authorities Would Have Owners Muzzle Dogs and Cats. At a special meeting of the City Council, called for 10 o'clock this morn ing. Dr. Calvin S. White, State Health Officer; Dr. C. H. Wheeler, City Health Officer, and Frank E. Watkins, of the Portland Kennel Club and member of the Council, will appear to urge that an ordinance be passed requiring ail owners to muzzle their dogs and cats for 90 days. The prevalence of rabies among cats and dogs has led the city and state health authorities to ask that some steps be taken by the city to prevent the spread of the disease and danger to persons. In the past 30 days ten dogs and two cats have died of rabies. A bulletin Just issued by the United States Marine Hospital Service, shows that at present the Pacific Northwest and California have by far the largest number of cases of the disease In the United States.

(Special.) A convict who is undergoing a long sen tence In the prison of Lenzbourg, Can ton of Argovle, became tired or lire recently and decided to hasten death by a curious method. He swallowed every piece of metal, glass, etc.. he could find In the courtyard when the warders were not watching him. This continued for weeks, and the convict seemed to thrive, but the other day he was found writhing In agony, and the doctor, to save the man's life, per formed an operation In haste. From the convict s stomach were ex tracted 147 nails of various sizes, 69 screws, 24 pieces of glass, nine bits of lead, is crass neaas oi nans, inree col lar buttons and the broken blades oi a knife and a chisel.
