WILL TRAVEL III
LUXURIOUS STYLE
Splendid Train to Carry the In
land Empire Excursion
ists to California.
EVERY COMFORT PROVIDED
Tarty Numbers COO and Portland
Will Be First City Along Route
to Offer Entertainment-r-Ar-rlve
Hero Saturday.
The last word In luxury, with modern
conveniences and comforts that no other
special train ever run over the Shasta
Rout", from Portland to Los Angeles,
ever had, the Inland , Empire Special will
attract a great deal of Interest on Its
way South through Portland, not only
because of the commercial interest In
! the journey, but from railroad men as
' well. Under the personal direction of
William . McMurray, general passenger
apent for the Harriman lines in this ter
ritory, not a detail has been overlooked
; to make every arrangement complete
for the pleasure of the Southern Pacific's
Buests. ,
Many things that the passenger would
never think of have been provided by
the company. Outside of the entertain
ment to be offered the excursionists at
every point on their long journey, the
appointments of tho train are such that
royalty itself could not excel it In
luxury.
The value of the palatial Pullman cars
that will carry the excursion is very
large. They are of the most modern and
comfortable pattern. The money value
represented by the train of 12 cars is
over S)0,W0. Fare for the trip will cost
the travelers $20,000, but it is estimated
they will spend outside of this figure on
the average $150 each while away, mak
ing $30,000 additional. The special tele
phone system installed in the' train for
the convenience of passengers represents
;a value of $.m There will be a $1000
nutomatic piano on board. These figures'
do not Include the wages of the 42 people
on board the train, whose only duty will
be to look after the comfort of the
gnests of the Southern Pacific, nor the
englpe crews that will haul the train on
its way south. Fuel for the locomotives
and cost of operation are not included in
the above figures, so that the amount or
money represented in this excursion frorfl
Spokane to Los Angeles will total an
enormous sum.
There will bo 200 excursionists, and
from the flrstcity they reach on their
way until they arrive at the most south
erly point on the trip, they will be of
feror hospitality by the people. Portland
proposes to be the first to extend a wel
come and send the Spokane people on
their way with good wishes. An elab
orate entertainment is being planned for
them while in the city. Flowers will be
sent up the line to ine special train, and
while here they will be shown about the
cily and entertained at the Portland
Hotel and the Commercial Club.
Ashland people send word they will
shower the visitors with flowers and give
them cider to' drink. MCdford wants the
party to leave the train at that point
and take an automobile ride about the
nearby country, rejoining the special
train at Ashland.
The special train will reach Portland
on the morning of February 8, and after
romaJning here all day will leave the
snme night on its way south.
The visitors will be furnished Wjith
packages of postal cards, stamped and
rcudy for mailing, each having colored
views of the city and harbor. Cards are
to be distributed to merchants and others
for display in show windows bearing
words of welcome to the visitors.

Radical Changes in Detective
Staff Made. "
RUMORS OF DISHONESTY
Xo Official Investigation-of Keports
Will Be Made, It Is Said,
Owing to Their Hazy
. Nature.
Although no public announcement of the
fact has been made at- .police head
quarters, a "shake-up" In" the detective
department that has set the tongues of
the gossips to ' wagging busily has been
made since . the first of the month. A
complete rearrangement of .the detective
staff has been ordered and details dis
tributed to throwr certain specific duties
into the hands of the several men on the
staff, who will be held responsible for
their respective departments of crime.
Failures of . certain detectives to . con
scientiously carry . out .work assigned
them Is said to be responsible for the
shake-up, and while no official investiga
tion 'is under way. It is hinted that it is
only because the evidence against them is
not tangible".
The shake-up came in the form of an
order Issued by Captain Patrick Bruin,
the head of the detective staff and in
spector of police, which outlines for the
future the special duties of each member
of the staff. Under this order the de
tective force is 80 divided that one-half
of its membes are aval able for night
work, which change fills a long felt want
in the department. .
One of the principal changes in the
duties of individual detectives is that of
Kay and Keinlen, formerly known as
the "moral squad." These men have been
relieved of this class of work and In their
place Detective Hawley and Acting De
tective Inskeep have been detailed. Kay
and: Keinlen have been assigned to the
enforcement of the liquor traffic laws
and the regulation of the various forms
of gambling. Detectives Price and Cole
man, - who have heretofore devoted a
greater portion of their time to criminal
investigation, have been detailed to serve
all warrants turned over to the depart
ment. Detectives Hcllyer, Maloney,
Jones, Tichenor, Howell, the new ap
pointee, and Acting Detective Smith are
assigned exclusively to criminal Investi
gations. Hawley and Inskeep will have the
supervision of places of disorderly char
acter and these two men, together with
Kay and Kienlen, who will have the
supervision of gambling, will be held to
strict account for the doings of . the
resorts which furnish the department
with its. greatest source of trouble.
. The night force will consist of De
tectives Hawley. Kay, Kienlen, Price,
Coleman, and Acting 'Detective Inskeep,
who will be under the charge of De
tective Sergeant Baty in the absence of
Captain Bruin. Captain Bruin, who is
unable fo be present at the police station
at all hours of the day and night, has
arranged for his assistant. Acting De
tective Alden. to be in charge of the de
tective office .during his absence. While
seven men are specially detailed for nipht
work, they will be expected to do day
duty as well in cases of emergency.

One thousand too many black and blue suits on hand the

the entire lot at once and all must be sacrificed regardless of

Handel's "Messiah," Max Bruch's "Fair
Ellen," and Cowen's "Skylark." Much
enthusiasm is being shown by the

Mr. Boyer wishes that additional so

would Join the chorus, church choir
singers preferred, and those who can
easily read music. At present applicants
