PAUPER COLONY
REACHES
Twice as Many Inmates Quar
tered There as at An,y
Previous Time.
INSTITUTION IS A MODEL
People Quartered There Are Better
Conditioned Than Half the
Dwellers of the Big Cities
of the World.
BY CHAUNCET THOMAS.
Twice a many inmates as ever before
are today at tbe Multnomah County Poor
Farm. Formerly the place contained
about 90 inmates even in Winter, but at
present, though in the easiest period of
the year, over 180 are. enrolled. The cause
of this Is the recent shipping of large
numbers of men into the state by the
railroads for common labor, and a rapid
increase of population. Among the labor
ers brought in by the large corporations,
such as railroads, sawmills and others.
Is bound to be an undue proportion of
men out of work elsewhere, and many
of these are on the verge of their last
'breakdown. They go to pieces here,
and land at the poor farm, usually for
tbe rest of their days. Some have been
there for nearly 25 years, and bid fair
to live on for a decade.
,"What we are going to do when Winter
somes is beyond me," said Superintend
ent D. D. Jackson yesterday. "This is
the time when we usually have the least
here, and today we are full and over
flowing. If cold weather pours 300 or
400 in on us, as it may, something will
have to be done" with . them, but Just
what, with our present accommodations,
no man can easily say. We will, of
course, have food enough and all that,
but as for room, beds, and other things,
'tis hard to say."
Resembles Iowa Farm.
The word "poor farm' connotes visions
of wretchedness, shame, helpless want,
the scrap pile of humanity; but a cold,
keen-eyed inspection of the Multnomah
County Poor Farm Is more like a stroll
through an Iowa farm than an examina
tion of a public institution for the home
less poor. If one takes the Portland
Heights car to the Ford street bridge
and from there follows the Canyon Road
on foot for about two miles, one comes
to a large, prosperous-looking place on
the light of the road that vies in gen
eral appearance with any farm in Ore-go-..
The walk, by the way, along the
Canyon Road on a Sunday afternoon be
tween green trees and by tne cool, clear
stream. Is a pleasure in itself.
Turning into the gate, one of the most
modern and convenient pattern, one
climbs a flight of wooden stairs in perfect
repair and finds a well-cut lawn through
which run cement wains .,ned with
flowers. Everything at ine first glanct
shows perfect order. Before one is a
rwmtjer of frame bulli.nt,j. On either
hand reaches green fields in which cows
and geese are feeding, and stul greener
woods among which here and there gleam
yellow cords of -cut wood. This is the
Poor Farm.
A closer inspection shows in the hos
pital clean, comfortable beds equal to
those in any hospital, and a complete
surgical and medical room, all clean as
soap and water and many arms can make
VIEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN SEARCH
FOR VALUABLES IN CITY'S GARBAGE
ONLY REWARD FOR THIS INDUSTRY IS AN OCCASIONAL
- COIN, BITS OF WIRE AND METAL AND EMPTY BOTTLES
HOPEFUL of finding money or other
valuables scattered among the
garbage at the city's crematory,
men. women and children daily visit
this place and at the risk of health
search through the refuse with the
diligence and persistency of fowls in
a barnyard. Occasionally a small coin
is found, but the reward is not large.
The more industrious gather bits of
wire and metale or empty bottles
which are sold to the junkdealers.
Two years ago when Superintendent
C. L. Daggett took charge of the
crematory more than 20 persons,' in
cluding several children, visited the
place daily and searched among the
garbage piles for articles of vajue.
Superintendent Daggett realized that
it was a hopeless search and de
termined to stop the practice. But he
had a Job on his hands and these tres
passers were not finally ejected from
the grounds and kept off until the as
sistance of the authorities had been
called.
"Seldom Is anything of value found
in the garbage that comes from the
city," said Superintendent Daggett
yesterday, "although I shall always be
lieve that a pocketbook containing
1505 in checks and currency was
burned in the incinerator since I have
been in charge. A resident of Port
land reported the 'disappearance of a
puree containing that amount which
had been placed In a garbage pail as a
place of security. We conducted an
investigation and satisfied ourselves
that this money went up in smoke.
Another resident reported the loss of
a purse with $300. but this was re
covered from a load of the i garbage
after it had reached the crematory. It
was restored to its owner. One of the
men employed at the plant found a
5 piece the other day and quite fre
quently small silver coins are dis
covered. "All articles of value are- selected
from the refuse as it is received. This
is disposed of to the best advantage,
the receipts from this source last
year amounting to 1400, and this,
amount was turned into the city
treasury. This revenue would be in
creased several times if an ordinance
should be passed requiring that all
dead animals be delivered to the city's
crematory. On an average 60 animals
die Jn thle city each month. Tho city's
plant is equipped for reducing tlfse
carcasses Into a fertilizer and in the
course of a year the receipts from its
sale would amount to between $3000
and $4000 airhually, above the expense
of the labor involved."
The crematory plant is by no means an
attractive place, but the department and
its operation are Interesting. It is closely
associated with me health of the city
and Is of such Importance that the
authorities shoud not long delay provid
ing the enlarged facilities required. The
cost of operating the plant this year will
be about J13.000. This is paid by the
city. But the additional expense of cart
ing the garbage to the crematory,
amounting to probably $30,000 a year. Is
them, and all in almost military order.
Here one finds over 70 patients, the most
of whom will never leave the room alive.
They are the wrecks and flotsam of hu
manity, cast into this haven of final rest
from all the countries and nations of the
world. On the hill, apart from the rest,
is the tuberculosis ward, in which the
penniless victims of the great scourge
receive treatment equal to that which
money can buy in any place in the world.
Here the wasted sick receive hourly, if
needed, fresh, pure milk, raw eggs, fresh
vegetables and chicken, all raised on the
farm. Here are open-air sleeping apart
ments, screened and shaded. And in this
hospital, in the two houses, general and
tuberculosis, are over 90 patients; those
given up by other hospitals and sent here
to die. Still such is the treatment that
sometimes one recovers and goes his
way.
Inmates Appear Contented.
Scattered about the place are men,
most of them old and bent but cheery
and content, working leisurely on the
flower beds, tending the 20 cows, looking
after the horses, chlckeng, ducks, or
geese, or if too feeble o work, sitting In
the sun or shade with pipe and paper
telling stories as old men will. Some
have been here for "over 20 years. It is
noticeable that their faces and manners
are free from that worry which is
stamped on the millions of old poor in
the large cities. And among them are
many "characters."' One of these is old
"Pop" Brown, who has general supervis
ion of the geese herd, a posiuon in which
he takes great pride.
"I want to say," began the old fel
low, "that I have a good home here.
I have tried them all in my time. Tou
see some farms are better than others,
and this is the best I have ever found.
I am going to stay .here. These geese
need me. And then there is Dick.
Who's Dick? He's the finest bantam
game-cock in the world, sir. Can whip
his weight in wildcats. He's a widower
now. Wife died not long ago. Going
to get him another. I'm a Mason, too.
And an Odd Fellow. But that was
long ago. I'm going blind now. But
I have a better home than most men,
far better here in my old age than I
knew most of the time during my
younger days. I have plenty to eat, to
smoke, nothing to do but to tend to
these geese, lots of old friends here
to talk to, and nothing to worry about
for the rest of my days. What more
can an old man ask?"
At the poor farm are to be found
men from all over the world. Those
from other states than Oregon are
supposed to be paid for by the states
from which they came, and those from
other countries are supposed to be sup
ported indirectly by the Federal Gov
ernment. But in such matters exact
lines cannot be drawn in the face of
helpless age, and all are taken in and
treated alike. A slight distinction is
made in food between those who work
and those who do not. The workers
need, and get, more hearty food in the
shape of more fresh meat, but other
wise no difference is made between the
various Inmates.
Absolutely no distinction whatever
is made in regard to religion, race,
color or nationality. All are actually
treated alike without favoritism. A
close talk alone with various mem
bers confirmed this to the satisfaction
of the questioner. The food corre
sponds on the whole to that of any
ordinary $5 a week worklngman'sj
boarding-house, except that it is
cleaner and more wholesome. Being
constantly under medical inspection,
the food in free from all decay and
other miseries that pall even the
hungry throat of the usual cheap
boarding-house lodger. The bill of
fare consists of' beef in various forms
such as steak, boiled, stewed and
roasted, potatoes In all styles, oat
meal, all tho milk wanted, the best of
fresh farm "butter made on the place,
bacon, ham, small fruits, and other
eatables that surpass in variety the
army ration.
Their Lot Is Pleasant.
An hour at the Multnomah County
Poor Farm will convince those in a
position to know that the Inmates live
better than do over half the people in
the great cities of the world. Over 2,
000,000 people in New Tork city alone.

PORTLAND'S GARBAGE! CREMATORY, WHICH CITY OFFICIALS"
paid by the business men and property
owners to the 71 licensed scavengers who
do the work.
"Portland's facilities for burning this
refuse are entirely inadequate." said
Superintendent Daggett. "While I am
only an employ of the city, it is my opin
ion that the city should have two 50-ton
crematories. One of these might be lo
cated at the site of the present plant
where it would be convenient to the West
Side; the other I would place on the
East Side in the Interest of encouraging
better sanitary conditions in that sec
tion of the city. Last year 8000 tons of
garbage were handled at te crematory
and of that not more than 10 per cent
came from the East Side. The refuse
being delivered this year comes -J about
out of a population of 4,000,030, are
estimated by the best authorities never
to have enough to eat. Over half of
this half, 1,000,000, sleep in rooms in
which sunlight has not shown for 30
years, and which have practically no
ventilation. Here on the poor farm
are large, clean, quiet, airy wards, in
which stand white beds, with thick
soft mattresses and pillows, white
sheets and coverlets. By day the poor,
even the working poor of the great
congested centers, are closed in be
tween brick walls and herded on hot
or frozen stone pavements.
At the Multnomah poor farm are
flower beds, open fields, and swaying
trees through which blows the clean,
fresh wind. On the hill-side, belong
ing to the farm, are 1000 cords of
wood to burn in the big ward stoves In
Winter. One leaves the place wondering
why it is not crowded by thousands
instead of less than 200. But it is the
"poor farm;" and the pride of the
white race to die with its face to the
fight keeps untold thousands in the
harness till they drop rather than sur
render "and go to the poor farm."
The horror of the place is all in the
name but that is enough.
Americans have starved, and will
starve, by the millions rather than ac
knowledge themselves conquered by
the world. They die fighting. And
pleasant as the poor farm is, it con
tains less than 203. An American
coming away from the pleasant place
feels a strange, peculiar pride in his
race because so few are there, while
millions struggle desperately and die
with fists clenched to the last.
TEN SHOTS BUT NO ONE HIT
SHOOTING AFFRAY OVER WOM
AN' IN LITTLE FALLS, WASH.
Tony Gelnln Finds Enemy With His
Wife and Opens Fire Both
Flee From Each Other. N
LITTLE FALLS, Wash., Aug. 11. (Spe
cial.) A shooting affray took place in the
Little Falls Hotel yesterday morning
between Tony Gelnin and Andy Jeffries,
ten shots being exchanged with no effect.
Gelnin, with his wife and little girl,
came here from Oregon City about two
months ago, the man finding work in
the Cutter factory. Jeffries also came
from Oregon City, arriving only a few
days ago. There has been bad feeling
between the men for some time, Gelnin
claiming that Jeffries had once held him
up in Independence, Or., at the point of
a gun. He says that he removed his fam
ily from Independence on account of Jef
fries, and had been warned by his
mother-in-law that all was not right be
tween Jeffries and his wife.
The morning of the shooting Geinin had
forgotten to mall a letter on his way to
work, and coming back after it, went up
the back stairs to his room, and found
Jeffries in the bedroom with his wife.
Jeffries at once opened fire, just miss
ing Geinin. The latter procured a re
volver from under the pillow and com
menced shooting. Five shots were ex
changed in the bedroom, when Geinin
Jumped ' through the back whidow and
Jeffries retreated through the door.
Geinin then put up his -at for a target,
and Jeffries shot it full of holes, two of
the bullets narrowly missing a girl at
work in an outer kitchen.
When his revolver was empty, Jeffries
fled, and Is now In i idlng in the woods
between here and Winlock. posse
is chasing him.
H. II. Belt to Fill Vacancy.
M'MINNVILLE. Or., Aug. 11. (Spe
cial.) The County Court has appointed
Harry H. Belt to the office of County
School Superintendent of this county, to
fill the remainder of the term made va
cant by the recent death of Professor
Linden. Mr. Belt has been principal of
the North Yamhill schools for a number
of years.

i..e same proportion but there is no need
Tor urging larger contributions of gar
bage since the city cannot dispose of the
40 tons a day now being received.
' ne plant now in use is not properly
constructed and for that reason is very
expensive to operate, the fuel alone cost
ing nearly $250 a month. The furnaces
are so arranged that much of the refuse
that is received, such as boxes and paper,
cannot be used for fuel. Before the
wooden boxes could be fed Into the ,ur
nace they would have to be broken up,
and this we found, by experimenting,
would cost more than to purchase saw
dust, which we are using."
Superintendent aggett firmly believes
that the city should have entire charge of
collecting and destroying all garbage. He

The foregoing wireless message was re
ceived by District Forecaster Beals yes
terday via the North Head wireless sta
tion. In all probability the message was
relayed from the steamship President,
which sailed Saturday morning from San
Francisco for Seattle. The transport
Thomas is outward bound from San Fran
cisco for Manila, and the distance off at
the time of sending the message and the
manner in which it was received serves
the purpose of verifying the utility of
the wireless stations on the coast and on
all vessels at saa.
On the Pacific Coast the only vessel
which has been equipped with a wireless
station, is the President, of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's fleet. The
Governor, now en route, from New Tork,
will also be equipped. The advantages
derived from the equipment of merchant
vessels are manifold, and it is the hope
of the Weather Bureau officials that all
seagoing vessels will be so equipped in
the near future.
The San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company will shortly put on the
steamers Lawton and the Kansas City be
tween the California metropolis and this
city, and an effort is being made to have
them equipped with wireless.

SOME people think that a carpet is mere
ly a floor-covering. They think that
any carpet that pleases their fancy will
do. They do not realize that the finest room
can be utterly marred by an inharmonious
carpet.
If you are really particular about the
beauty and correctness of your rooms it will
pay you to see our new carpets. They have
been most carefully selected, and will meet
practically every decorative need. We shall
be glad to show them, and to help you select
the one that will best bring out, and add to
the beauty of your home.

Portland. The Lytle Road, due to he completed one year hence, will

is now being built at Bayocean Park. If there has been any doubt
as to where the people will go then, this information dispels further
doubt. And Bay City is the only city on Tillamook Bay where a city
can be built. Already a thriving town, it is destined to be one of the
greatest Summer resort cities in the United States. Lots can now be
had there for from $50 to $450. Installment terms if you wish.

At this price you can

lots left that can be had
at this figure, either. To
secure one, you pay $45

Thirty payments and you
will receive a warranty
deed and an abstract of
title free. Long before
the last payment is made
your lot will undoubtedly
be actually worth $550 to
$600; perhaps a great deal
more. We wouldn't be a
bit surprised to see that
very lot worth a thousand
dollars by the time the last
payment is due. Talk
about big returns on an
