The appearance of the Plan blocks
thess days, remind one of the campus
of a well regulated coeducational Insti
tution, where the sexes are barred from
association together on the ' college
grounds. In the south block -doiens of
women and children recreate undisturbed
for all men art barred from entering
this section of the park, by warning
notice to keep out. which have been
posted by ordar of the city park board.
Frequently a man wanders over the
line Into forbidden territory but an
alert nollcemun Invariably reminds him
that he Is a trespasser and leads the
wanderer back Into the prescribed lim
its. It Is amusing to observe, that the
larger number of men, especially young
fellows, congregate In the territory ad
joining the south block where they may
be as near as possible to the forbidden
territory.
, The plan of the park board is a much
greater success than anticipated. At
their last meeting the passed the reso,
, lutleui dividing the Plaxa blocks between
tween the men and women. Previous to
this time rnany complaints came to them
that women and children were very fre
quently disturbed by the men who oon
gregated In the park and because of
- which but few women ventured Into the
Plasa blocks. Notices were posted
wnrning men to keep out of the south
block and thje plan has met with such
..success that the rule will. In all prob
ability, became permanent.

well whitewashed In order to clear up
the alleged blackmail connected with the

of well-known detectives to explaining
why they attempted to bleed the robbed
merchant for rewards for the return of

BUILDING DAM Of
IMMENSE STRENGTH

or Bun-Dura o
On the Co woman river, 18 miles from
where It empties into the Columbia, the
greatest logging dan In the world Is
under construction. A man. said to be
the oldest logger in the Pacific north
west, H. Alger, of Portland." is the man
ager In charge of h work, being him
self interested, with Frederick Weyer
bauser and the eastern Western Lum
bar company, in the enterprise.
Mr. Alger was In the city yesterday.
and departed today for the scene of the
work. He savs it has rained hard tnree
or four daya over .ike country back of
Stella and as far north as Rainier and St.
Helens, and that the rain began the work
of putting the fires out in the timber
across the Columbia, about the middle
of last week. He expects that the rails
of the last two days will completely ex
tinguish all ' timber fires In southern
Washington.
The -Coweman loa-srlna dam la the re
sult of some years of experiment and
study. The first 'dam built there was
washed out. And other dams farmer up
the river have required rau.cn repairing
to keep them in Service. " The present
dam was begun in spite of the fate of
its predecessor, and its constructor has
fashioned It upon so gigantic a plan,
that the corporations interested now be
lieve It will be permanent. It Is (09 feet
In length and 12 feet thick at the top.
The bottom Is 110 feet thick. The
height above the river, at Its middle. Is
to feet. The "massive structure is built
of enormous logs and whole trees.
There are two giant yellow firs In It
that are 210 feet long. It Is designed to
store water for flooding logs to tide
water. It has seven gates, two of them
12 feet wide and five of them 10 feet
wide, that can be opened automatically
and loose a flood that will carry on its
crest, millions of feet of logs, to the
mills and rafting plants, on the lower
Columbia.
The width of the dam on top provides
a sufficient site for a saw mill that Is
now in operation there, sawing flume
lumber and other supplies for the build
ers. In ordinary seasons the Coweman
river does not run enough water for suc
cessful logging, but with this dam, an
Immense reservoir will be created, by
which a steady water supply will enable
the owners of the timber to transport
their logs at a great saving of labor and
money. The sum of 120,000 has thus far
been expended " In construction of the
dam. and 1t Is far from completed.

during the night, telephone robbers ex
hibited their nerve by picking up a
piece of steel that was lying on the
floor and using It to pry off the side of
the little steel box, took nickels to the
amount of perhaps IS.
Carefully selecting the flve-oent
pieces, the robbers pocketed the coins,
laid aside the worthless slugs and made
their exit without leaving any clue for
the police. The case was reported to
headquarters this morning, as- spon as
the proprietors of the shop arrived and
made the discovery. "
The police have been annoyed for
months by telephone box robbers, who
have piled their calling unceasingly.
By a mere stroke of good fortune, a sa

nickels and alugs from the saloon tele

'The prodigal extravagance and vol
uptuous revelries of the oriental court,
shown with historic accuraoy In festal
galtles and dancing dlvertlsements."
"Can you beat thatT" murmured a vet
eran as he delved further Into his pro
grant to learn the names of the perform
ers who were at that minute filling
thousands of spectators with delight.
Rlngllng Bros.' world's greatest shows
were on. Twice was their acreage of
canvas taxed to Its capacity, yesterday,
and twice the people of Portland and vi
cinity went away throwing bouqueta of
praise at the marvelous exhibition.
Portland has never witnessed a circus
representing more than half the money
that the famous brothers have Invested
In this one. It Is so prodigious, glitter
ing, magnificent, that the most calloused
old-timer applauds throughout the de
velopment of the wondroua panorama of
amusement.
The show opens with the Tine spec
tacle "Jerusalem and the Crusades," en
acted In pantomime and not unlike a
Pain exhibition, at Manhattan Beach.
The advance upon the city and the revels
of the conquerers, are faithfully
depicted, not less than 400 people taking
part. The crowning feature of the pan
tomime la a ballet by 76 women. The
precision with which they move In cer
tain figures, Is a genuine marvel.
The opening event out of the way, the
clrous moves on about as others do,
only on a larger scale. There are three
rings and two stages In the tent, and
there Is always something doing. The
four Ed reds, bareback riders, accomplish
some" wonderful feats, their moat dif
ficult being what looks to be the most
simple-leaping onto a horse's back while
the animal Is galloping In. the opposite
direction. The acrobatic work of the
OUnserettts, seven In number, was the
finest ever seen here. The equestrian
act of the Bedlnls was much admired and
the Savoys won hearty plaudits In their
turn, entitled "The Lady and the
Tramp." The novel dancing of the
Collnl-Calrrona was another feature that
drew the eyes of the crowd to the central
stage.
But the Rlngllngs' great sensation this
year Is "Craao," the bicyclist, "leaping
the gap." He rides down a long Incline
at an angle of about 45 degrees, curved
upward at the bottom, and at tremen
dous speed his wheel files through 63
feet of space and lands upon the con
tinuation of the Incline, about as you
see It on the bill boards. It la an act
second only to 'looping the loop."
As an animal show, Rlngllngs' circus
Is still a wonder. A herd of 26 ele
phants perform all kinds of "stunts,"
one of them even standing on Its head,
while the seals juggle a brass ball about
two Inches In diameter on their ugly
nojuts, paaslng the article from one to
andther. Horses, always a strong fea
ture of the Rlngllng show, are this year
numberless. Of especial note among
them are the Shetland pontes.
The menagerie Is larger than before
and of surpassing merit. The giraffes,
now so scarce In captivity, attracted a
great deal of attention, as did a baby
camel, born while the show was In Bos
ton and showing bumps of knowledge
already.
The circus Is being presented before
another great crowd this afternoon.

AND GO ON TOUR
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Ohlandt, whose
secret wedding here yesterday was the
culmination of a romance begun In San
Francisco, left last evening for Seattle,
and may visit Alaska before their return
to the Bay City. After the ceremony
the, happy couple telegraphed Mr. Ohl
andt. Sr., at San Francisco, of their mar
riage, and Intimated that they were
ready to be forgiven. No reply was re
ceived before their departure.
Mr. Ohlandt and his wife, formerly
Miss Goodwin, were apparently not wor
ried over the thought that an Irate fath
er might cut the groom off without a
cent, and started on their wedding tour
with high hopes and words of praise for
tholr Portland friends who aided them
in uniting their fortunes.
The fsther of the groom Is Nicholas
Ohlandt. president of the National Ice
company at San Francisco, and Is one
of the leading German business men of
that city, reputed to-be wealthy. He Is
credited with having threatened to cut
his son off without a cent should he
marry Miss Goodwin. The couple are
touring ths northwest now, and mean
while papa Is digesting their request for
forgiveness at his leisure.

Favorable temperatures prevailed dur
lng the week, which was dry up to the
evening of the 27th, when cloudiness in
creased and showers and thunder storms
occurred nearly everywhere in the north
ern portion of the state. The rains were
rather light In the valleys, but rainy
good amounts fell In the foothills and
mountains. These rains cleared the at
mosphere of smoke and were beneficial
to late crops, but more rain Is needed for
potatoes, gardens and pasturage.
The fall wheat crop has been cut.
threshed and a large part of it hauled
to the warehouses. It turned out very
satisfactorily In nearly all parte of the
state. Spring wheat .cutting Is well
along, and In the Willamette valley It
la practically completed, and mostly all
threshed. Spring wheat and oats are
yielding batter than expected earlier in
the season, but both crops are below the
average in quantity, though above the
average In quality. Corn Is doing re
markably well, and that planted early la
now being harvested. Hops are matur
ing rather slowly, snd picking will not
become general until next week. The
crop promises to be lighter than last
yT, but with favorable weather from
now on tne quality win oe aDove tne
average. Pasturage Is very short, and
except in ttdeland sections dairy herds
have to be fed about as much as In mid
winter In order to keep up the flow of
milk.
Apples and peaches are ripe and plen
tiful In the market. French prunes will
yield a full crop, but the Italians are the
lightest In years.
