Councilman Sherrett reported that Mil waukie street Is being graveled by the Street Railway Company. He said the company had agreed to gravel the street and has been given permission to do so by the City Engineer. If It is found, when the work Is finished, that it has not been properly done, It will then be time to pro test. There was considerable d'scusslon of the opening of certain streets towards the south to relieve Milwaukle street It was stated that it would afford relief if Hol gate street were extended west so as to i connect with East Eighth. This would j provide another avenue Into the city from !l the south other than Milwaukle. Both East Ninth and East Eighth are opened to Holgate. but Hc-lgate Is not opened west of Milwaukle.

DEMAND FOR IMPROVEMENT Brooklyn School and Grounds Mnst Be Put In Condition. The Brooklyn Sub-Board of Trade met last night, F. G. White presidipg. The matter of repairs to the Brooklyn school grounds was taken tip on the report of .to. R. Nelson. It was decided to address a communication to the directors, setting forth what is required to beautify and improve the grounds and buildings. The following communication was adopted, and will be presented to the board by Mr. Nelson: The schoolhouse, as It now stands, in tho center of a large, w ell-shaded park of ground?, has the possibility of having. If not the hand somest lawn certainly as handsome a lawn and surroundings as any school edifice In the district; that already patrons of the school have donated rosebushes and choice shrubs which have been placed in tho grounds; that on account of tl.e suspension of the janitor -during the "vacation months the lawn and shrabbery are entirely neglected and dry up for want of care and water; that we are re liably Informed that all school buildings pay for their water by meter rates, so that there would not be an excessive charge for same, that hoso is furnished of necessary length to wash and care for the outbuildings to properly water the lawn, so that all the ad ditional expenses of any amount would be the salary of the janitor, and, in as much as this school building is in the direct route of the Portland City & Oregon Railway, an elec tric line running regular excursion trains i e'ery Sunday and holiday, and Is, therefore, a resort for sightseers and excursionists. It Is doubly necessary to have the grounds pre sent a handsome appearance. The janitor informs our sub-board that he bas been able to reclaim all boards that have been torn off the fence during vacation, and that the same will be replaced, but our sub board would respectfully call the attention of your honorable body to the necessity of a double gate at the front entrance, properly secured -with a lock and post in the center, thus preventing trespass on the grounds as soon as they have been beautified. Our sub-board would also call the atten tion of your honorable body to the condition of the cross-walk on Frederick street. This is the cross-walk used by nearly all the pupils and all "the teachers, and in the Winter time It is entirely submerged to a depth of from four to six inches In liquid mud. "We ven ture to say that our school janitor Is the only one In the district who Is in the strict sense entitled to compensation on the street-cleaning roll of the city, as there was not a school i morning during the rainy .season of last year i that he was not out at 7:45 with rattan broom and hoe. trying to make this crossing pass able. This crossing wa erdered replaced last April, but so far your repair man has not seen lit to take cognizance of your action. 1 bankers and for their convenience, a system of imprinting 2-cent stamps upon checks, etc., was devised by the Treasury Department, which was a great saving of annoyance and trouble to the banks and their customers. Upon the repeal of the stamp tax on checks a question arose as to the redemption of such Imprinted stamps. Bankers asked that after allow ance for the claim of redemption the im printed checks be canceled in such a manner as to render their further use possible, and that the checks be returned to their owners, .so as to effect a saving to the i.wner or bank of the cost of sta tionery and the binding of "the checks and drafts in book form, which amounted" to a considerable per centage of the cost of the stamps. This, it was found, could not be done under existing laws, and the extent to which these imprinted checks are being presented shows that a large pecuniary loss will fall upon banks and owners if the checks and drafts are de stroyed after rebate is made for the stamps thereon. Hence the decision above mentioned. It is understood that "the banks will also petition Congress for re lief and it is probable that speedy action will be taken. Pledges to Date Amount to $3443.09 Need of a Pew Large Subscriptions. J0II5' young people held merry carnival last night on the lawn of Miss Lillian Brown's home, Eleventh and Burnside streets. They sold delicacies for the fund for the benefit of the free swimming bath for -boys and girls, and raised ?25 clear of all expense. It was a pretty picture white-gowned, rosy-cheeked girls, tables groaning under loads of candy, Ice cream, lemonade, cake and cigars. Dozens of Chinese lanterns added life to the scene. The fund from all sources now amounts to $3443 09, made up as follows: Previously reported $3402 09 25 CO 5 OCT 5 00 2 50 2 50 1 00 It struck Bannister on the head, cutting a severe gash and knocking him senseless.

Probably the dellciously cool weather experienced last night for the middle of August could not have been equaled anywhere outside of West ern Oregon. "Think of the poor people sweltering In Eastern cities tonight, while we are thinking ice cream is rather too cool at this present moment," remarked a pretty girl, with dark, luxuriant hair. "Yes, indeed; but people never tire of Ice cream in any sort of weather," rejoined her fair companion, who had a fur cape over her shoulders. In spite of the weather, ice cream had plenty of customers. Patrons came out early, and about 8 o'clock all the tables were crowded with patrons. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Holman and a party of friends were an interested group, discuss ing cooling liquids and cake and the hard work necessary to collect enough money to start the bath-house. Family parties were seen at different tables, residents of houses in the neighborhood, and they laughingly said they had just paid a neighborly call. "I surrender myself Into the hands of the young women who sell the Ice cream, and I'm going to spend all the money I have with me," said a jolly man of pa triarchal aspect. "Come along, ''girls. Who wants some ice cream with me?" he continued. He found plenty of friends willing to obllse. Lots of fun was provoked by the as sertion that the lawn party was to be under the direction of seven "little" girls. The girls said they were big girls, and at the High School. The big girls who are entitled to credit for the success of the party are: Miss Lillian Brown, Miss Lillian L. Stone, Miss Maude H. Stead man, Miss Madge L. Cramer, Miss Caro line M. Hester, Miss Margaret Protzman and Miss Kate Protzman. Miss Mallis worked industriously hanging the Chinese lanterns, and Mrs. Samuel Simon made the delicious Roman punch and helped at the various tables. On the whole, there Was SO much Innocent fun and general good social time that It Is certain other porch or lawn parties for the benefit of the bath fund will follow In different parts of the city In the next week or two. One of the guests at last night's lawn party said she had not laughed so heartily for months, and that she would probably have a lawn party for the fund at her own house before long. Those who have charge of collecting subscriptions "for the fund express the regret they feel at the slow progress made in raising the money. Very few women have subscribed, and no response has been received from citizens who usually subscribe liberally to works of a philan thropic nature. There should be more ?100 subscriptions. Recently at St. Paul, Minn., the citizens started a fund for a free swimming bath, and three subscrip tions of $1000 each were received, and many others of $100, $75 and $50 flowed in. California Capitalists Operating the Rogrue River "Valley. Rogue River Valley will soon have sev eral Irrigation systems, according to J. L. Howard, a civil engineer of Medford. who is in Portland. He has recently been making estimates for the" Fish Lake ditch, eight miles of which has been dug this year. This ditch draws its, water from Little Butte Creek, and Its sur veyed line Is 42 miles long, from the head gates to a point opposite Medford. which town will probably be supplied with water by the company. "The people Interested in the ditch," Mr. Howard said yesterday, "are San Francisco capitalists, who own irrigating canals in Central and Southern California, and therefore know what they are about. They have obtained title to 1000 acres of level land under this ditch, and beside3 cultivating thi9. they will be able to sell water to farmers, fruitgrowers and plac. er-mlners along the route. At the sixteenth-mile stake the company has a 100 foot fall, which can be utilized for man ufacturing purposes and for forcing the water to an elevation at Medford should that town decide to deal with us." Mr. Howard thinks the graders will reach the sixteenth-mile stake this Fall. "The ditch is 10 feet wide at bottom," he said, "15 feet on top. It will car ry four and a half feet depth of water, or about 6000 miners' Inches. New-style grading machines and modern scrapers are being used. The ditch will cost $4000 per mile."

POLICE MAKE TWO ARRESTS COLLISION ON UNION PACIFIC Tto Locomotives Collided With West-Bound Passenger Train. To be a passenger in-a train Into which two engines crashed while running at the rate of 50 miles an hour, was the ex perience of R. R. Reid. Jr., who was In the Green River wreck on the Union Pacific. He said last evening In regard to the wreck: "It occurred 68 miles east of Green River, in Wyoming, about 5:30 Saturday morning, when all the passen gers were sleeping soundly. Two engines, through a misunderstanding of orders, left a station and went In an easterly di rection a few minutes before No. 1, the west-bound train I was on, w,as sup-' posed to get there. The engineer on our train saw the other engines coming In time to apply the emergency brakes, and to check the progress of the train. The other engineer did not see us coming, and the two engines crashed into us at the rate of 50 miles an hour, smashing things considerably and shaking up the passengers on our train in a violent fash ion. The engines were badly shattered. The baggage car was telescoped and much of the baggage was damaged. The en gineer and fireman of our train were able to jump before the trains met and got off safely. The trainmen on the other engines had to jump while going at full speed, and were more seriously injured, though there were no fatalities. We were delayed seven hours."

The letter to Commissioner Hermann, of the General Land Ofilce, signed by 11 members of the Multnomah delegation in the Legislature last Winter, and urg ing the addition of a lot of new town ships to the Cascade forest reserve, which letter appeared In The Oregonian yes terday morning in a story from Washing ton, was subjected to considerable discus sion yesterday. Those who took the trouble to trace out the boundaries of the new territory found that it Included all that had been otherwise recommended for Inclusion In the reserve, and much that had also been recommended for re jection by Superintendent Ormsby on the ground that so much of the land had been taken that It would be Inadvisable to create so much base for lieu selections. On Its face the letter would appear to be In the Interest of someone who desired to promote lieu land transactions. It recommended adding something more than 050,000 acres to the reserve. Of that area 142,000 acres were actually added recently. and. still more recently It developed that all the school land within the added area had fallen into the hands of two men prior to the time it was taken into the reserve. Of the 11 members of the Legislature whose names are on the letter to Com missioner Hermann,' five are out of the city Alexander Sweek. R. D. Inman, Dr. A. C. Smith, D. M. Watson and G. M. Orton. None of the others had any dis tinct recollection of having signed such a letter, but most of them had an Indis tinct remembrance of having dealt with something of the kind. Representative H. A. Smith, who Is himself a dealer In tim ber and timber land, expressed the be lief that the document quoted was a for gery, at least, he said, he would not be lieve he had signed It unless he could be convinced by an examination of the signature on the original instrument, j Representative Frank A. Heltkemper also j Intimated that the signatures might have . been forged, though he remembers that I there, was talk of such a letter at the I Legislature last Winter. He admits that If somebody In whom he had confidence had presented the letter to him and asked for his signature, he might have signed it without looking closely Into the matter. The others admit the same possibility. Representatives' Otto Schu mann. M. E. Thompson and C. W. Not- h tlngham have a hazy idea that this let ter, or something like It, was circulated for signatures at the Legislature, but they do not remember to have signed It. Representative John Drlscoll has no recollection at all of the matter. None of the men seen was able to shed the least light on the origin or the letter. Where it came from was a mys tery, so far as they were concerned. One thing that did not escape notice was the fact that all the names attached to the Instrument were of men elected on the Citizens ticket, a ticket that was chosen Detectives Plclc Up a Jallbrealccr and a Lighf-Fingeretl Porter. The detectives picked up two men last evening, Peter Adams, who broke jail from Salem, and A. D. Blllips, a negro porter, arrested on ai charge of stealing a gold watch. Detectives Snow and Ker rigan made the first arrest. Adams was arrested April 27 with Fred Williams and Axel Peterson for burglary In a store at Woodburn. They were caught in Port land by Snow and Kerrigan and were lat er sent to Salem to await trial. Before they were arraigned they sawed their way out of the Salem Jail. Since that time Adams has covered several thousana miles, working his way East as far aa North Dakota. He returned to Portlar I a week or so ago. and last evening hi J the misfortune to be recognized at Front and Gllsan by the detectives, who promrt ly arrested him. He will be returned to Salem today by Sheriff Durbln. Billips was arrested by Detectives Diy and Weiner for the theft of a gold watch, from Pullman Car Conductor William J. Bradley, who reported on August 8 tho loss of a gold watch whll8 en route to Portland either lost or stolen. The watch was recovered by the- detactivas la a second-hand store, and a description of th3 man selling- It obtained. Blllips was fol lowed up and arrested.
