JEFFERSONIAN BANQUET
DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE DOL
LAR DINNER.
Chamberlain's Boom for the Vice
Presidential Nomination May
Be "Finally Started Tonight.
Keen interest among Democrats of all
classes throughout the state attaches to
the Jeffersonlan banquet scheduled to take
place tonight at Watson's restaurant. The
affair promises to be well attended by all
the principal warhorses of the party in
Oregon, and. It Is thought, will be made
the occasion for some sensational defini
tions of political policy. It has even been
lilnted that the Chamberlain Vlce-Presl-dentlal
boom will be launched during the
seething period of the gathering, while
the feast of reason and flow of soul is at
ebb tide.
Incidentally. Goveror Chamberlain will
deliver the principal address, although It
is expected that C. E. S. Wood will also
cut quite an important figure in the
speech-making line. Five-minute talks
will likewise be Indulged in by many other
prominent Democrats, including Charles
V. Galloway and James Harvey Graham,
the defeated Congressional candidates:
Supreme Judge Hailey: Robert A. Miller,
candidate for Attorney-General at the last
election: Frederick V. Holman. of Port
land: Senator M. A. Miller, of Linn Coun
ty: Senator Coshow, of Roseburg; Judge
Sam While and Judge Smith, of Baker
City: Senator-elect J. E. Hedges, of Ore
gon City, whose defeat of George C.
Brownell for the State Senate dethroned
the latter as political boss of Clackamas
County; J .O. Booth, of Grant's Pass:
Robert Smith, of Josephine County: John
H. Smith, of Astoria; W. B. Dillard. of
St. Helens, and J. H. Raley, of Pendle
ton. There are no restrictions either as to
number or rank of the invited guests, the
true Jeffersonlan simplicity of habit pre
dominating to a large extent in this re
spect; consequently any person affiliat
ing with the political Ideas of the party
will be received with open arms at to
night's entertainment, providing he is
equipped with the necessary dollar to pay
for his plate.
CAMERON JUDGE ONE YEAR
Daring That Time Fines Amounting
to $20,619 Have Been Collected.
Judge Cameron, Municipal Judge of
Portland, has served on the bench one
year today, and during that time he has
collected enough in fines and forfeitures
to more than pay his and Clerk Hennes
sey's salary, also enough to go far toward
paying the salaries of many of the pa
trolmen of the Police Department.
The total amount of fines, forfeitures
and collections, made by the court for
the fiscal year amount to J20.619.90, the
largest sum being collected in the last
month. J2124.60. The largest amount in
any preceding month was in July, 1906.
when the fines and forfeitures amounted
to $2191.40.
The appropriation fixed by the ways
and means committee of the Council to
run the City Attorney's office and the
Municipal Court was J1S.000, consequently
there is a surplus to the credit of the
city of J2S19. The fines and forfeitures of
the court for July and August, 1906.
more than paid the salaries of Judge
Cameron. J1SO0 and of Clerk Hennessey,
S1200, for the entire year up to July 1,
1906.
Notwithstanding that thousands of dol
lars have been taken In by the court,
the courtroom in which trials are con
ducted Is poorly ventilated and poorly
equipped. A small sum was expended by
the city In fixing up the courtroom, but
still the quarters are not what they
should be in a city the sire of Portland.
Promise has been made that the court
room will be improved.

SHADY PLAGES IN DEMAND
SUMMER HEAT CAUSES GEN
ERAL EXODUS FROM CITY.
As the Mercury Creeps Up Crowds
Leave the Sunny Streets for
Farks and River.
The cool parks and shady places ap
pealed to Portland yesterday. The day
was an Ideal one for Summer, but It was
nevertheless oppressively warm. The
thermometer did not take any exceptional
flight upward, but the air was more sultry
than Is usual in Portland. As usual, the
river drew more than a proportionate
share of pleasure-eeekers. All the
launches and boats were engaged early
in the day and many hied themselves
away to the cool Island spots along the
water.
At The Oaks a large crowd was pres
ent all day. and particularly in the eve
ning. There were many also at the City
Park and not a few took trips into the
country by trolley.
It will be seen by the table below that
the mercury had a steady upward tend
ency from an early hour:
6 A. M.. 63 deg.; 7 A. M., 66; 8 A. M.. 66;
9 A. M-. 69: 10 A. M., 71: 11 A. M.. 76;
noon, 79; 1 P. M.. 84; 2 P. M., 86; 3 P. M.,

Street-Cars Ran in Forest Grove.
FOREST GROVE. Or., July 1. (Spe
cial.) The long-expected new street-car
service in Forest Grove, between the de
pot and the center of the city, began here
today. The cars were recelvd from Port
land yesterday, and were brought up to
the bams today, and are being put in con
dition to start regular service tomorrow
If possible.
The track has been ready several weeks,
but the cars were delayed because some
of the electrical machinery was destroyed
in the San Francisco disaster and had
to be replaced from the East.
CHANGE OF SENTIMENT NOW
Voters Favor Establishment of a
High School at Gresham.
At Gresham two years ago A. F. Hersh
ner, who was then principal, was turned
down because he advocated and helped
establish a high school adjunct, and Pro
fessor Daring was elected principal In
his place. Mr. Daring continued in the
same line and maintained the high school
department, and he was elected and the
high school department was indorsed at
the recent meeting of the taxpayers.
The vote to maintain the high school
classes was unanimous. A. F. Hershner,
who has been elected principal of the
Lents school, was then vindicated The
Gresham board of directors was instructed
to take whatever action might be neces
sary to maintain the higher classes, and
if necessary hire outside rooms for the
purpose.
J. H. Ackerman, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, who wrote the law
providing for establishing county high
schools, under which several have been
established, now favors a law that will
allow several districts to group together
and organize a high school at a central
point. He says that Gresham Is an ex
ample where such law would work well.
Here is a center where a high school
could be formed, he says, to which pupils
could be sent from Troutdale, Fairview,
Rockwood, Powell Valley and the sur
rounding districts. Mr. Ackerman said
that he should work to secure passage of
a law that would permit of the forming
of such centers.

With Joyous Jag They Were on the

ly by the west-bound North Coast Lim

FATHER FLINN IN NEW ROLE
Aged Freacher Participates in Salva
tion Army Meeting.
Rev. "Father" John Fllnn, the well
known Oregon pioneer Methodist minis
ter, now living at Vancouver, appeared
on Burnside street Saturday evening in
an entirely new role, that of Salvationist.
The Salvation Army band had gathered
on Burnside street, near Third, and sev
eral of the women had made appeals for
cash to support the cause. Song after
Bong and appeal after appeal to the hard
hearted crowd were all in vain when a
gray-haired man, well dressed and wear
ing a Jaunty Panama hat on the back
of his head, made his way through the
crowd, and, stepping on the improvised
platform, began talking.
The crowd was quickly interested in
the burning words of the aged man, and
listened respectfully. There were no
more coarse Jokes, no more Jeering at
the Salvationists. Presently he made
an appeal for financial assistance for the
work of the Salvation Army. "He then
stepped to the bass drum, where he
dropped a dollar on the head. Immediate
ly there followed a rain of dimes and
quarters from the crowd until a large
contribution was raised.
After the contribution had been made
"Father" Fllnn again talked to the
coarse and hardened men who gathered
about, and his words were listened to
with respect. The venerable preacher
came to Oregon in 1850. and has preached
In every hamlet of the state. In cabins
and in groves, but this was perhaps the
first time he had spoken under the ban
ner of the Salvation Army.
MUCH SLAB WOOD BURNS
Blaze in Portland Lumber Com
pany's Yards Lasts Five Hours.
Fire yesterday afternoon destroyed a
great quantity of slab wood at the Port
land Lumber Company's yards at the
foot of Lincoln street, and but for the
wind blowing in an opposite direction,
would have threatened the lumber mills
with destruction. The flreboat. somewhat
crippled but still able to run, was sent
to the blaze and prevented it spreading
to the mills. The fire burned from 5:30
yesterday afternoon until 10 o'clock last
night.
