by the City Engineer. If It is found, when
the work Is finished, that it has not been

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.

white-gowned, rosy-cheeked girls, tables
groaning under loads of candy, Ice cream,

The cool weather was against large re
ceipts at Miss Brown's party, so far as
the sale of Roman punch and ice cream
was concerned. 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."

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-'

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

to jump before the trains met and got
off safely. The trainmen on the other
engines had to jump while going at full

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
