HOTTEST OF YEAR
Thermometer Marks 92 in the
Shade and Nears Record.
ICE CREAM AT A PREMIUM
Portland People Spend Day Dodging
ISlazing Sun Klvcrslde, Pleas
ure Resorts Do a Thriv
ing Business.
People of all classes sought the shady
Bide of the streets yesterday,- and those
remarks concerning the weather that
have done Justice to the occasion ever
since our antediluvian ancestors deve
loped any interest. In the subject, were
worked Into wilted and helpless harmless
ness before night fall.
"Is It warm enough for you?" and "Isn't
this a scorcher?" finally became tabooed
expressions, and in sheer desperation peo
ple congregated as if by common impulse
at those points where cooling beverages
abounded .and wherethere was a chance
of getting a- breath of air that did
not scorch like a furnace blast. For
this reason all- the near-by pleasure
resorts' did a record business, and
the ice cream man became inspired
by such haughty ideas that only fellow
mllllonalres of the boathouse fraternity
were permitted to associate with him.
At 2 o'clock the thermometer marked a
maximum temperature of 92 in the shade,
breaking the record for this year. The
day. opened warm and sultry, too, the
mercuiy registering 70 degrees at 8 o'clock
.in the morning. 83' at noon, and climbing
steadily upward until the middle of the
afternoon, when the maximum was
reached. -Then it gradually began to cool
off. so that by 9 o'clock last night a fall
ing ofT of at least 12 degrees was an
nounced by the Weather Bureau.
For today the prediction of fine and
cooler weather is made by the forecasters,
with northwest winds except near the
coast. This insures no abnormal rise in
the rivers and streams from melting
snows, as It seems to be. well assured
that the extreme heat was of exceedingly
short duration.
Yesterday was the third warm period
experienced this year, the thermometer
registering 90 on April 20, and 89 on May
8. The warmest June days on record were
those of June 17, 1876, and June 29, 1904,
when a maximum of 99 degrees was
reached on both occasions.
In consequence of the extreme heat, all
the boathouses did a rushing business,
and ice cream parlors and stands were
compelled to inaugurate a waiting list
system. The Oaks attracted the bulk of
the crowds, and all day long the car lines
and launches were crowded to their ut
most capacity in accommodating the pub
lic. Every rowboat and launch was chart
ered, and the river was a scene of ani
mation throughout the day.
Immense crowds also visited the war
ships in the harbor, and the Jackues

VISIT BABY MONKEY
Crowds Go to See Latest Addi
tion to City Park Zoo.
SO UGLY HE IS "CUTE"
Other Animals Xeglected by Pleasure-Seekers.
Nurse Their Wrath
In Solitude Mrs. Kate the
Proud Mother.
All but the monkey members of the
animal family at the CityrPark are suf
fering from a bad attack of the "blues"
and yesterday they presented a most woe.
begone appearance to the many hundred
of people who visited the menagerie. In
fact, but very little attention was .paid
to the animals, with the exception of the
monkeys, and this was the reason why all
but the monkeys had grouches tor fair.
A little, ugly baby monkey has caused
all the trouble and caused the other in
mates of the zoo to hang their heads In
shame. The majestic elk no longer stalks
about his domain to exhibit his beautiful
horns. The monster lion, which used to
be such a favorite with Park ' visitors,
now seeks the dark corners of his den
where he sulks all day and some of the
bears are so disgusted with the turn of
events that they were thinking of hiber
nating for the Summer to sleep off their
sorrow. The elk knows it will do no good
to parade about, the lion knows that his
roars cannot atract even passing atten-.
tion and even the children will not look
at the bears when they romp about. So
they sulk.
But with the monkeys conditions are
different and they are enjoying life as
never before. Baby Jocko draws all the
Park visitors as an electric light attracts
moths of a Summer night. The older
monkeys are so proud of the youngster
that they delight and revel in the atten
tion it attracts.
Kate Is a Happy Mother.
: Kate, the big monkey who gave birth to
the boy baby. Is probably the happiest
mother in all Portland. Her cup of joy
Is lopping over full. Mothers take their
babies there to see the latest addition to
the Park Zoo and Mrs. Kate takes great
delight in showing oft her offspring.. When
there is a large crowd about her cage
and such is usually the case she keeps
the pride of her life near the front so
that all who come can get a good look
at him. When Kate looks at the matrons
in the crowd she appears to pity them
and her eyes seem to say, "Don't you
wish you had as pretty a baby as I have."
Jocko is so ugly that he is "cute." He
Is not much larger than a big rat, but a
rat ils really beautiful in contrast. He
has no hair on his face and his four
legs are nearly twice as long as his body.
But despite his ugliness Jocko is the most
popular animal In Portland and is making
new friends each day. He is the only
monkey: ever born at the City Park.
Jocko first saw the light of day about
five weeks ago. The news spread rapidly
and hundreds of visitors called at the
Park especially to catch a glimpse of
Jocko. He is growing very rapidly and
now can cover ground almost as rapidly
as his mother. A monkey takes to climb
ing as a duck does to water, so Jocko
has. no difflcutly In performing the gym
nastic stunts common to his elders.
Yesterday several hundred people at a
time gathered about the home of Mrs.
Kate to see the baby. At times the crowd
was so large that It was-impossible to
obtain a view of the Inmates of the cage
without standing in line. The other ani
mals at the Park were ignored.
Jocko has cut his teeth and yesterday
he ate so , many peanuts that he could
hardly move. The other Inmates of the
monkey cages also obtained all they could
possibly eat. Jocko played all day and
but once in the afternoon did he lie down
to rest. Then his mother aroused him
and made him play some more so that
the crowds could see what a handsome
son she had.
Last week Kate devoted her spare time
in teaching Jocko bow to act in the pres
ence of company. She taught him self
reliance and where once he was afraid to
move without his mother, now he ds not
afraid to climb clear to the top of the
cage by himself. Kate would run away
from him and Jocko would scream, with
terror, but he soon learned that there
was no reason to be afraid. All of the
monkeys In the cage are fond of Jocko
and play with him by the hour.
But Jocko was not the only thing that
made the City Park popular yesterday.
The hot weather made the tall, shady
trees, grassy lawns and the cool and re
freshing glens the more attractive and all
day the resort was thronged with visit
ors. Many families remained in the Park
the entire day, taking their luncheons
along in baskets.

BUS! WEEK AHEAD
Grand Jury Will Investigate
Street-Car Accidents.
ELECTION FRAUDS ALSO
Twenty-two Indictments AV11I Be
Returned Today and Defend
ants Arrested Session
May End Thursday.
. Today marks the opening of what prom
ises to be a most strenuous week for the
Multnomah County Grand Jury, which
will reconvene at 10:30 o'clock this morn
ing. The first work taken up will be the
approval of the indictments which have
been - voted and drafted by the Dis
trict Attorney and which today are
to bo turned in to the Circuit Court.
Then the Jury will begin an inves
tigation of alleged violation of the
state and city ordinances by the local
street railway company. Its officers or
employes, in the matter of operating cars
above the legal speed limit and failing to
provide cars adequate fenders, as provid
ed by the law enacted by the Legislative
of 1903.
Latest advices concerning -what has
been already accomplished by the Jury,
are to the effect that no less than 22
Indictments ha,ve been voted and that 18
freeholders and electors, officials of the
O. W P. & Ry. Company and citizens,
who participated In the alleged election
frauds at Bellwood are lnvoled. Some of
the principals in the election frauds, it is
stated,, have been Indicted on more than
one count. These are probably the cases
of freeholders who signed the affidavits of
Illegal voters indiscriminately. ,
Illegal Voters Are Located.
It is also understood that 18 out of the
26 employes of The Oaks who, it Is al
leged, registered at the Sellwood hotel
on the night previous to the election at
the expense of J. W. Reed, the O. W. P.
Co.'s superintedent of construction at
The Oaks, and swore In their votes, have
been located and identified and that all
of these, with the exception of the two
principal witnesses before the grand Jury,
will find themselves in the toils of the
law before the close of the present week.
On concluding the investigation of the
street railway company the grand Jury
will resume the election fraud Inquiry.
So far as is known at present these are
the only Important matters to come be
fore the Jury. After making the custom
ary inspection of the different depart
ments of the county government. Includ
ing the Jail and poor farm, and passing
upon a halt dozen minor criminal cases,
the jury will adjourn. It is thought that
the jury will have concluded its work
by Thursday of this week.
District Attorney Manning will go to
Seattle tomorrow to appear as a wit
ness in the case of George Mitchell,
charged with killing Edmund Creflleld, the
notorious Holy Roller leader. The work
of the grand jury will toe in charge of
Deputy District Attorney Haney during
his absence.
Probe Street-Car Accidents.
Just where the investigation of recent
street car accidents -will begin District
Attorney Manning has not yet decided, but
it Is thought that the case of little Con
sance Eaton will be the first to be taken
up. This will be followed by an investi
gation of an accident which occurred on
the East Side, June 6, when Ernest J.
Luzon lost Ms life by the overturning of
a car at a sharp curve on Corbett street.
There Is a suit pending for $5000 damages,
against the company. In this latter case.
It Is the belief of District Attorney
Manning that if there are now no suffi
cient laws governing and restricting
street railway companies such should be
provided and this may be suggested by
the grand Jury in Its final report.
Several arrests are expected today when
the indictments are returned and war
rants Issued.
