Three Masked Men Successful in
.'Third Sullivan's Gulch Rob
bery Police Soon On
Scene No Clues
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 19. (Spe
cial) Xhree masked men held up the
Soo-SpoUane limited on the O.-W. R. &
N. shortly after nine this evening and
secured .S5 in cash and ?50o worth of
jewelry before they were frightened
off. Within ten minutes later the
scene of the robbery, which was in
Sullivan's gulch, near the East 12tb
street bridge, was infested with an
army of police and deputy sheriffs,
but up to midnight no trace of the
robbers had been discovered.
The three hold-up men rode out of
Portland on the roof of the train,
which is a Canadian Pacific special
running out of the Oregon metropolis.
Just before reaching the Twelfth
street bridge one of them clamored
down over the tender and into the
cab, and commanded the engineer to
stop the limited. The engineer did,
and the other two men then dropped
to the ground climbed in over the ob
servation platform on the rear car,
and ordered the passengers to hold
up their hands, enforcing the com
mand by firing a shot through the
partition into the smoking room.
The passengers offered no resist
ance, and the "picking" was easy for
the robbers until a shot at the head
end of the train told them something
had gone wrong with their plans. It
developed later that the fireman on
the engine, noting that he was uncov
ered by the bandit's gun, had leaped
from the cab and started up the side
of the gulch in search of the police.
The bandit on the engine fired at him,
and then started back for the observa
tion car to warn his pals. The two
men who - had been securing booty;
promtly dropped off the car and fol
lowed him down te track.
About this time Joe Barros, a Mexi
can hobo who was also riding on top

a-good time to get out of sight and
dropped down from the roof of one of
the s'eepers and started "sloping'
and fired at him, the bullet entering
his adomen. Barros crawled to the
observation platform, and there threw
the passengers into a panic, until cool
er heads discovered that, he was prob-
aDiv iarai v wminnp.n ann mane mm as

CITY AND STATE HEALTH FORCES
WARN WELL OWNERS TO
TAKE NO CHANCES
ARE HUNTING DISEASE SOURCE
Believe Epidemic Can be Checked if
People Follow Out Orders of
The Authorities Are
New Cases
"Boil every drop of your well wa
ter" is the warning that has been
sent out by the health authorities of
the city and state pending the results
of their investigations into the cause
of the typhoid fever epidemic that has
claimed such a large number of cases
in the city.
Some of the officers believe that a
large percentage of the cases that
have been attracting attention the last
few weeks have corns directly from
the disease-breeding germs in the
wells in and around the city. Though
they also have other ideas that ac
count for part of the cases, they can
not find any other reason that would
explain some of the cases that have
been called to their attention.
At any rate, they do not believe in
taking any chances. They have is
sued a warning to all well owners
that the water should be boiled, at
least until the "bug hunters" have lo
cated the dangerous baccilli that have
caused the disease and have carried
out the campaign of extermination.
The city and state boards plan to
make the campaign this time a thor
ough one and to take every step that
will throw any light whatever on the
disease in the city. Until they have
definitely discovered the reason, they
warn the families whose water sup
ply is a well, to boil every drop that
they use for domestic purposes and to
take no chances whatever with . the
merciless germs that lie hovering in
the sparkling water seemingly purer
than the best that could be had in
Bull Run or elsewhere.
It will probably take the state offi
cers some t.imie to investigate each
and every case that has been reported
in the city and to determine whether
there is a. common source for the dis
ease. In the meantime, the officer;
believe that it will materially cut
down the chances for the further
spread of the germ if the well water is
thoroughly killed by boiling before a
drop of the water is used for domestic
purposes. Several new cases of ty
phoid have been reportsd.
T GET PAPERS
After September 29, the government
officials will contest every application
for final papers that does not date
since 1906, C. T. Taylor, one of the
naturalization officers, was in the city
Tuesday and notified the county clerk
that all of the first papers that bear
dates prior to 1906 will be contested
unless the applicants take out their
final papers before September 29,
The reason for this action on the
part of the government is that a large
number of the persons in the county
and state who are foreigners have
taken out but their first papers and
have never gone before the court to
complete the process of naturalization.
As the law enables .them to enjoy all
of the rights of citizenship anywav.
they have never found that it is neces
sary to finish the process and have
let the time between their first appli
cation and their last run for years.
The federal records show that some of
the first papers were taken out as
long as 20 years ago and that nothing
has since been done to complete the
naturalization.
After September 29, the government
proposes to contest every application
for the final certificate of citizenship
ana to make the procuring of that pa
per as difficult as possible unless the
would-be citizen can show some rea
son for his delay in asking for the
nnai papers.
in ij.acKmas county there are a
large number of persons who believe
that they have been naturalized when
they have but taken the first steps to
ward that end. As they can enjoy al
most as many rights as the native cit
izens of the state, they are not able
to see the necessity for any further
evidence of their intention to become
citizens. The government wants to
clear up all of these old records and
has started a campaign that will
bring into the office of the county
clerk many of the residents of the
county who have lived here for a long
period of years.
OF COAST ARE SEEN
Mrs. M. J. Vonderahe, her daughter
Louise, and two sons, Karl and Frank,
have returned from a delightful trip
through all of the principal cities of
California.
On their way, they visited many
points of interest in the state, saw the
sites of the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion at San Francisco and the Panama
California Exposition at San Diego,
travelled through the great parks of
the state, and took in all of the sights
that are usually afforded to travellers
during the summer season.
Among the -most interesting things
that the7 saw on' their visit were the
Catalia Islands over which . they
travelled in a glass bottom boat and
watched the highly colored fauna of
the deep waters of the ocean as they
glided along above them.

HOP GROWERS TAKE STEPS TO
PREVENT IMPORTATION
OF I. W. W. CROWD
PICKERS MUST BE MARRIED MEN
Big
Producers Believe that Men With
Families Are Less ' Apt
Create Trouble Than
Others
to
I. W. W's. are not wanted in the
hop yards of Oregon. Several of the
biggest hop growers of this section of
the state have especially instructed
their representatives to pick only men
whom they personally know and who
are free from the propaganda of the
anarchistic order.
In order to be sure that none of the
f3S to law and order are imported to
tne nop yaras, the representatives
have been instructed to get married
men with their families wherever it
is possible to do so and to take on
only those single men who are well
known in the community and whose
tendencies do not align them with tho
I. W. W. crowd.
Hop-pickers are going into the yards
by the hundreds and everywhere the
I. W. W .element has been barred by
the most stringent tests. The repre
sentatives of the largr growers are
now careful in their selection of the
men who are to be sent into the yards
and their reputations in the commun
ity in which they live is closely in
vestigated before the men are given
the jobs. This is particularly true
where the men are not married. Many
of the pickers are taking their fam
Hies with- them and the growers re
port that they are having no trouble
to get all of the men that they will
need. ' .
"One representative, for instance,
was instructed to get 15o men for a .
yard and has more than 250 on the
list all eager for the jobs. As the
-season opens next month, the growers
are employing their men now in order
to be sure to have them when the
time comes, but there is now no in
dication that there will be any short
age of labor.
Through all of the work of select
ing the men for the places, the repre
sentatives take particular pains to
keep out the anarchistic element and
to prevent any recurrence of the Cal
ifornia trouble. The experiencs in
Portland, California and other points
has placed the growers on their guard
and they declare that they will take
every measure to prevent one of the
element from getting into the yards.
GOVERNMENT COMES
TO AID OF FARMERS
OREGON AGRICULTURAL, COL-
"LEGE, CORVALLIS, Ore., Aug. 18
The United States Department of Ag
riculture, through the division of
farm management will co-operate with
th,9 Oregon Agricultural College as
soon as the federal government is able
to make the necessary adjustments.
This important step was definitely de
cided upon at recent conference held
at the Oregon Agricultural College be
tween President W. J. Kerr and R. D.
Hetzel, director of extension, repre
senting the college, and C .B. Smith
and Byron Huntr, acting for the fed
eral government.
The new arrangement calls for co
operative overhead supervision of
field and farm demonstration work by
the federal and Btate departments.
When put into operation the plan will
have the advantage not only of furnish
ing financial aid from the federal gov
ernment, but of bringing the help of
the great federal organizations and
the information in its possession di
rectly to the farmers of Oregon. Mr.
H. T. French, will have immediate
supervision of this department of the
extension work.
O
