A pig under the bed in which the mother and two children were asleep with all their clothing on, chickens feathers, melon rinds and dirt several inches thick on the floor of the bed chamber which Is also the living room, and dishes which appeared to have been 'unwashed for several 'months, are some of the dis gusting conditions of the Mark Collins home near Tygh valley as the officers found It early yesterday morning when they visited the place for the purpose of taking the four Collins children In to custody and sending them to the Boys and Girls' Aid society home in Portland. Sheriff Levi Chrlsman and Officer J. G. Kilpack of the Portland institu tion went to the Collins home a few days ago to get the children, due to the conditions of their home life It being urged that they be placed In the school In the Rose City. Mrs. Col lins saw the officers approaching and sent her children to hide in the hills. She then proceeded to brandish a I butcher knife betore me uinu 'uou ' they called on her until she was over powered and the knife taken away. The officials decided to take the woman unawares on their next trip. The five men arrived at the Colllna home about 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Responding to their knocks at the door, Mrs. Collins appeared and was soon "tied up." sne was taaen out on the porch where her arms were placed about a pillar on the porch, one on either side and then her hands were secured with a pair of hand cuffs. In this position she was unable to cause trouble as she did when Sher iff Chrlsman and Officer Kilpack first visited her home, unless she pulled the pillar down. "Picture the most horrible place and fllty conditions you can and mul tiply it by two then you could not really have a good idea of the disgust- ing sight which met our eyes when we went into the Collins home, saia Sheriff Chrlsman today. "We were greeted by a pig which ran out from under the bed. This an imal, from every appearauce, lives In the house all the time. There were chicken feathers strewn all around the living and sleeping room, besides melon rinds and dirt and rubbish of all kinds, the stuff being several Inches thick on the floor. Dishes were on the table and I knew that they had not been washed for six months. There are only two rooms In the house and the family and pig enjoy the same accommodations." Mrs. Collins made a strenuous 'hol ler" when the officers took the child ren, but the men were not affected by her feelings in view of the fact that the home life of the children has been for its object the annexation of the seaports of San Pedro and Wilming ton. According to leading members of the Chamber of Commerce, a tremen dous development In the trade between the United States and China is surely Imminent, and the City of Angels de sires to secure its share of this com merce by acquiring a seaport If the annexation movement car ries, as now seems certain, ten mil lion dollars will be expended In the construction of commercial docks to handle the great commerce that la ex pected soon to pour in from the Em pire of the Dragon.
