Street Improvements Pro jects to Be Furthered. As a result of the work of the East 1 6ide Improvement Association, there is a strong probability that a new passen ger depot will soon be built at the northwest corner of East Morrison and East First streets. W. L. Boise, presi dent of the association, reported having waited on General Manager O'Brien, of the Southern Pacific system, yesterday, and was given assurance that the depot would be built. The structure will be 190 feet in length, fronting on East First street, 60 feet wide and one story in height. Its interior arrangement will be convenient and ample for all present needs. The plans were given over to the company now erecting concrete buildings on the Bast Side for estimates and the etructure will probably be of that ma terial. The library committee reported favor able progress in its work and a general campaign will be commenced soon for raising funds. A central office will be established on the East Side and a meet ing of all the committees will be held in a few days to arrange the details for the work of raising C5.000, the sum needed to erect a suitable building. Other Improvement matters were eon sldered, mostly pertaining to street Im provements and other affairs which the association Is advocating. school room increased from 18 last year to 2S this time, with a prospect of several more In a few days. Nine teachers are employed, with Professor J. B. Wllkenson in charge. DEMAND FOR TWO BRIDGES More Pupils In Forest Grove. FOREST GROVE, Or.. Oct. 1. (Spe cial.) The public schools opened yes terday in this city with an enroll ment of 350. en lnorease of nearly 6 over the opening day last year and the largoet enrollment in their his tory. .The attendance in the High- Complaint Made Over Delay In Let ting East Side Contract. Councilman Bennett yesterday ex pressed dissatisfaction with the action of the Executive Board in delaying the con struction of the concrete bridge across Sullivan's Gulch at East Twenty-eighth street. This structure was authorized by the Council six months ago and plans have been prepared by City Engineer Taylor, but so far the Board has not advertised for bids on the construction work. "There was no reason why the Execu tive Board should put the Union-avenue bridge ahead of that at East Twenty eighth street," declared Bennett yester day. "The latter structure Is fully as much needed as the other and even more so since the Grand-avenue bridge was completed. The Council authorized Its construction several months ago and yet the Board has held It up and placed the building of Vhe Union-avenue bridge be fore it. "There is a large district In Irving ton and Holladay Addition that is now practically without Are protection. If the bridge was built at East Twenty-eighth Btreet this section would be within easy reach of the engine house on East Davis street. As it is now It is necessary for this engine company to go down to East Twelfth street to cross the gulch. The East Twelfth Street bridge Is in bad condition. The bridge on East Twenty eighth street is also needed to provide a direct route to the city for a large community."

Goodman's for Diamonds, 211 Morrison. Creditors' Organization Is Making Strenuous Efforts to Avoid Long and Expensive Receivership. Prospects grow brighter daily for the reopening of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, but those who are working hard for reorganization emphasize the state ment that unless all depositors lend a hand a satisfactory dollar-for-dollar set tlement will be Impossible, and a long and tedious receivership will be the best that can be hoped for, and only a part of the claims of depositors will be paid. Yesterday was a good day at the bank and subscriptions to bank stock and telephone bonds poured in all day in a gratifying manner. It was noticed that all depositors who came to the bank yesterday signed up without delay. This Is the spirit that the officers of the De positors' Association, who are putting forth every effort toward the rehabilita tion, like to see. They declare that un less some depositors who are hanging back show the same disposition to help, the plan will fall even yet. They are hopeful, however, that those who are hesitating will advise with banking peo ple in whom they have confidence and will come into the plan at once. ' They say that unless the reorganization is assured by the depositors signing up for the required amount of telephone se curities and bank stock by October 15 the whole plan will be dropped and the receivership will be the only means re maining. That this will prove sorely dis appointing to creditors is conceded. "I would not urge anything upon de positors that I would not do myself," said President J. L. Day, of the Deposi tors' Association, last night. "I would like to have all investigate the telephone companies and their methods of doing business. When the contract for the Ta coma plant was let it was provided that It should not be turned over to the oper ating company until 6000 telephones were In operation. This number provides for the payment of all operating expenses and provides for the sinking fund, the payment of the bonded Indebtedness and interest on the bonds. This makes the telephone company a paying institution from the start. Aside from this, interest on the bonds is guaranteed by the Na tional Securities Company of Los Angeles." A Portland banker offered to bay all the Portland Home Telephone bonds he coftld -get at So yesterday. This is re garded as encouraging, lor the bonds of the Omaha and Puget Sound companies are reported to -be better property than the local concern. The telephone company has agreed to date its certificates of deposit held by the bank a long time ahead, so as to help the bank get on its feet and In addi tion agrees to exchange these certifi cates for telephone bonds at any time should depositors who have taken bonds desire to make the transfer. This is conditional, of course, upon depositors coming to the front in a body and doing their part In accomplishing the reorganization. MANGLED BY EXPLOSION Dr. II. M. Russ, Aged Dentist, May Die From Injuries. Dr. H. M. Russ, a dentist. 71 years of age, met with a serious accident while experimenting with chemicals in his lab oratory at his home on Hibbard street, tn Montavilla, yesterday afternoon, and Is now at the Good Samaritan Hospital, suffering from injuries which may result In his death. Dr. Russ was engaged in heating a retort over a wood stove, when, for some unaccountable reason, the con tents of the vessel exploded. Dr. Russ right arm was shattered by the explo sion and he was rendered unconscious. When taken to the hospital It was found necessary to amputate the arm below the elbow. , The operation was quickly performed and at a late hour the patient was rest ing easily. If he survives the sKock fie may recover, but small hope is enter tained, on account of his advanced age. HOTEL PORTLAND. , Great Attract inn for Palmroom,' Ho tel Portland.

PRAISES WHITE PICKERS CONRAD KREBS, HOP MAGNATE, PLEASED WITH WORK. Fall styles Hanan Shoes at Rosenthal's, .Seventh and Washington. Five Hundred Men, Women and Children Return to City From His Independence Yards. Krebs' crew or hoppickers returned home at 8 o'clock last night. A crowd of them, men, women and children, all white, numbering over 500 persons, were brought down from Independence on a special train. There were 800 or more in the party that went to the hopyard on the morning of August 31, but 300 of them did not stay to see the completion of the work, and have been straggling back to Portland through out the harvest season. The pickers that returned last night were a happy crowd, and made their presence known as the train slowly came down the Fourth-street grade. Conrad Krebs came to the city with his late pickers. He was warm in his praise of the work the white help did, declaring that no crop wae ever picked cleaner in the history of the hop In dustry in Oregon. The harvest was brought to an end in the big Independ ence yard Monday night. The pickers worked 30 days, many of them being in the field from 6 A. M. to 6:30 P. M. The crop, according to Mr. Krebs, turned out to be much larger than he expected. Many portions of the yard produced over a' ton of dry hops to the acre. More white pickers than usual were employed in the Oregon yards this year. Formerly many Indians were used, and usually Japanese and Chinese do much of the work. STEPHEN P. LEE DEAD Old-Time Resident Vf Portland Passes Away. Stephen P. Lee. watchman at the County Courthouse, died yesterday morning at Good Samaritan Hospital.

He had been a resident of Portland for 30 years. WANT THIRD HIGH SCHOOL Improvement Association Will Agi tate North Albina's Needs. ; At a meeting of the Nolta Improvement Association, on Killingsworth avenue, Monday night, H. G. Parsons presiding, it was decided to begin an' agitation for the erection of a $200,000 High School building for that part of the city. It was announced at .the meeting that both the West and East Side High School build ings are nearly filled, and that a third one will be needed next year. George C. Carl, Henry Rubel and J. Milles were ap pointed a special committee to start the agitation. The district purchased three acres for the site of a High School in North Alblna several months ago. This building, when erected, will - take schol ars from the Thompson, Highland, Ver non, Woodlawn, North Albina, Peninsu lar. University Park, and possibly the Williams Avenue, Holladay and Irving ton schoolhouses. The club also voted for the establish ment of a voting precinct near the car barn, as at present voters in that neigh borhood must go more than a mile to vote. J. H. Nolta, Henry Rubel and William Fragmlre were appointed a special com mittee to make arrangements for the erection of a hose house. The promise has been made that 1000 feet of hose and a hose reel will be supplied. The club will meet next Monday night. J. H. Nolta, Dr. L. M. Davis and A. W. Moore, the committee on a olty rock crusher, met yesterday afternoon and de cided on a plan of action. They will in vestigate the county plant and learn the cost of crushing a cubic yard of rock. When enough data have been secured, the matter will be laid before the City Council. McMinnville Enrollment, 484. M MINNVILLE, Or., Oct. 1. (Special.)
