Oregon's greatest individual industrial
plant is to be the extensive packing
house establishment to be erected by
Swift & Company on the Peninsula, at
the confluence of the Willamette- and
Columbia rivers. The removal of all ob
stacles which have lip to the present
time interfered with the Inauguration of
constructive work, particularly in the
matter of railroad connections, means
that hundreds of men will be given em
ployment on the big- tract now owned
by the Chicago beef barons within th
next 50 days.
I'nless there is some hitch, the two
rival transportation companies will put
panes of men to work pushing their ex
tensions out toward the Packingtown site
within the next 30 days. Within two or
three weeks from that time, or by the
middle of April or the lirst of May. there
w 11 be unparalleled activity on the Penin
sula. Open Up 'Labor Market.
It is officially announced by Swift rep
resentatives that the aggregate payroll,
covering the building of the great cen
tral packing establishment of the North-J
west, during the i- montns tnat will be,
required to complete it, will be in excess
of $1,000,000 and will more likely reach
Jl.L'50.000. By the same authority It is es
timated that the amount of money ex
. pended by the two railroad systems in
tapping the Packingtown district with ex
tensions and sidetracks will not run be
low an additional RSO.000, so that there is
bound to be a wonderful "opening up"
in the labcV market within the next few
months in this Held alone.
Swift & Company -will, as soon a the
plant is completed, give employment to
about 1000 men and women In all de
partments of their establishment. When
the plant is In full operation the num
ber of people will aggregate not less
t!:an 1500. To take care of this vast
army of toilers, the Swift people plan
a complete- townslte and residence dis
trict for their employes, with all mod
ern improvements and Institutions com
mon to communities of that size. It be
ing estimated that this one plant will
he tly eventual support of a popula
tion of at least 5000 people. .
Plans for Townsile.
Tiie townslte as now being planned
contemplates wide streets and avenues,
paved, stdewalked. well lighted, sew
ered, and provided with all city im
provements, company stores, hotels and
restaurants. In addition to the private
cafe, which will be a part of the plant
Itself, and will occupy the entire
noor or me oince Dullding of the plant.
Portland's packingtown will have its
.own Postofflce, Its own shops of every
character, its own schools, churches,
and will probably have its own muni
cipal corporation, a sufficient subdivi
sion of the Swift tract having been al
ready set aside for this distinct pur
pose. '
President Swift expressed himself last
night as being thoroughly satisfied with
the negotiations which have so far been
made with the railroads, and indicated
that there was no reason why actual
work on the local plant should not be
begun within he next. 60 days. He re
fused to go into details as to the plans
of his company, but admitted In a gen
eral way that the public had already had
a good idea of what his company pro
posed to do from the various reports pub
lished in the local press.
'There isn't very much for me to add,"
he said last night, "for you people seem
to have a pretty fair Idea, of the magni
tude of our plans. There has been no
premeditated Intention on our part to be
mysterious about our designs, save thtu 1
wo imvB uesireu io nasten our ptans as
rapidly as we could, and, it being a, pri
vate institution, we did not pee that it
was expedient that any unnecessary hub
liclty should be given to our visit here
at this-tlnre. You newspaper men have
gone so exhaustively irjto the subject that
it seems to me, if you will pardon the
statement, it is only a question of
whether we shall carry out your 'plans'
or ours.
Portland Slruteg-lc Point.
"We have looked over the Northwest
ern situation rather carefully, have had
it in mind for some time, and it appeared
to us that Portland was the strategic
point for the development of the pack
ing Industry' in this region. Admirable
transportation facilities will be provided,
not only for the handling of livestock,
but for tho marketing of our products.
At the same time, we are close enough
to practically inexhaustible stockraising
territory and have easy access to rapidly
growing markets to make the location
here almost ideal. Further than this I
don't believe there is anything that I can
6ay that will throw additional light on
the matter."
Definite progress was made yesterday
In advancing prospective plans for the
building arrangement and construction,
through repeated conference with local
Swift representatives and company en
gineers, but Just what these rlans are is
kept a profound secret.
The Swift officials, through the wide
publicity that has already been given
their movements, have been seriously
hampered by the Importunities of real
estate dealers who are interested in
tracts, big and little, on the peninsula.
Since Saturday, when the first mention
was made of the authenticated opera
tions of the packing-house people, the
whole territory in the Peninsula district
has been In a veritable ferment of ex
citement. Options which havd been held by spec
ulators and promoters havo been guard
ed with utmost Jealousy. Individual r-cal
estate men and realty syndicates have
stood like sentinels on watch, and values
in that whole region are extremely fever
ish. Property has been held at high val
ues for' many months, out of pure ex
pectancy that the Swift people would
soon resume activity. Now that defi
nite and official announcement has been
made, the chance that was awaited has
come, and not only will there be sharp
advances In prices, but It is expected
that there will be. unprecedented brisk
ness in the movement of real estate in
that part of town.
Will Fix Denver Rates.
The matter of special rates to members
or the Democratic National Committee
from Denver to Pacific Coast points at
the close of tho convention in July is to
bo discureed by the Trans-Continental
Passenger Association and committees
representing other passenger traffic as
sociations, at a meeting to be heid in
Chicago in the near future. Immediately
following this meeting complete details of
the Summer tourist farce will be printed
and issued from the office of James
Charlton, chairman of the Trans-Continental
Passenger Association. This in
formation is contained in a letter from
Mr. Charlton received yesterday by Presi
dent llodson of the Commercial Club in
reply to Mr. Hodson's recent request that
special rates be granted delegates to the
Penver convention, to enable them to
visit Portland and other Pacific North
west points. - -

CmM03S FOR IDLE MEN
Council May Appropriate $10,000
for Street Work.
At a meeting of the ways and means
committee of the Council, late yester
day afternoon, Councilmen Rushlight
and Kellaher, the former chairman, ad
vocated an appropriation of $10,000. to be
used for the temporary employment of
men now out of work. City Attorney
Kavanaugh was Instructed to investigate,
to ascertain whether It Is possible for the
Council to take such action without vio
lating the civil service provision of the
charter. Mr. Kavanaugh said that there
could be no other legal objection to the
proposed ordinance. He asked further
time in which to investigate the problem
Involved in the civil service provision.
I would favor an appropriation of
about
$10,000," said Mr. Rushlight, "and
the appointment of a special commission,
composed of members of the Council and
Executive Board, to superintend the ex
penditure of, it. I would be favorable to
employing as many men as we could to
clean up the streets and put them In
better condition than they have been for
years. 'The Rose Festival is approaching
and this work ought to-be done.
"I think the men of families should Jbe
first taken care of and then single men
could be employed. I would not favor
very high wages, but It would be well if
the city could care for some of its de
serving citizens during the temporary de
pression." JEWISH WEDDING STOPPED

The event had been the leading topic

the crowd was so great that the syna

and T. C. Devlin Selected.
The doors of the Oregon Trust & Sav

SHOWING LOCATION OF THE SWIFT
Bank, tomorrow morning unless the care
fully laid plans of the reorganizers of the
defunct Institution go awry. Everything
is arranged for this happy outcome of the
embarrassment of the Oregon Trust, which
failed last August, and it is believed that
nothing will arise to change the plans.
So fully has everything necessary been
arranged that S. G. Reed, who will be
elected president of the new German-1
American Bank today, made the an
nouncement of the date of reopening the
closei bank last night.
A strong, substantial directorate has
been selected by Receiver Devlin and S. G.
Reed and the list of nine prominent busi
ness men of the city was submitted to
Judge. Gantenbein yesterday for his ap
proval. The court expressed his satisfac
tion with the selection of men to manage
the affairs of the reorganized bank. This
was the last step needed to permit the re
op'oning of the closed institution.
Court Approves Directorate.
Directors chosen and approved by the
court are: S. G. Reed, secretary of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany; Thomas C. Devlin, ex-City Auditor;
J. V. Burke, banker, formerly connected
with the Bank of California at Portland;
Sigmund Sichel, president of the -wholesale
tobacco firm of Sigmund Sichel &
Co.; Charles H. Carey, attorney, with of
fices in the Chamber of Commerce build
ing; Parish L. Willis, attorney and capi
talist, with offices in the Commercial
building; Henry W. Fries, vice-president
and treasurer of the firm of Wakefield,
Fries & Co.; A. G. Long, dealer in fire
apparatus and waterworks supplies, and
Grant Phegley, manager of the Columbia
Woolen Mills Company.
According to the arrangement already
made, Samuel G. Reed will be president
of the reorganized institution, and Thom
as C. Devlin, receiver, will be cashier.
According to the court order approving
the merger of the two banks, Mr. Devlin
will remain in his official capacity as
guardian of the bank's assets, until
liquidation is completed, the court having
allowed two years for the -piyment of all
claims against the Institution.
The necessary meetings of stockholders
to elect the above directors will be held
today at the present German-American
Bank, -at Sixth and Alder streets. Then
the directors will meet and elect the offi
cers of the bank. Other than president
and cashier, the officials have not yet
been decided upon but they will be chosen
from the list of directors.
Experts to Be Withdrawn.
Everything is in shape at the present
German-American Bank for the transfer
to the Sixth and Washington streets loca
tion of the new institution Immediately,
and the doors of the bank will be opened
tomorrow morning for business. District
Attorney Manning will remove the ex
perts he has had .at work on the books of
the closed bank today, leaving the bank's
records undisturbed for tne new manage
ment to take hold.
Later there will be additional directors
added to the list as now announced. A
number of substantial business men of
the city will undoubtedly enter the direc
torate during the next few days. It was
thought best, however, to proceed with
the names already secured, which are am
ple for resuming the business of the
closed bank.
The present German-American Bank,
which will be merged into the new insti
tution, has the following officers: Presi
dent, Louis J. Wilde; vice-president,
James O'Brien; cashier, S. A. Reed. None
of these men -will appear In the manage
ment of the new Institution, It being Mr.
Wilde's intention to go out of the banking
business. Cashier Reed will take charge
of work for the independent telephone
companies here and the banking building
will, probably be secured by the telephone
people.
Under the terms of the merger agree
ment, the new bank will meet all claims
against the closed institution and will use
the assets of the Oregon Trust exclusively
to meet the demands of depositors. Those
depositors in the closed bank who have
signed for telephone bonds in lieu of a

part of their deposits will receive their
bonds within the next few weeks with in
terest dating from January 15.

Omaha Automatic Telephone Com
pany Ready to Begin Operation.
OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. 10. (Special.) F.
II. Stow, general -manager of the Inde
pendent Telephone Company, which had
J325.00O tied up with the Oregon Savings
& Trust Bank, of Portland. Or., when it
closed its doors, has just been notified
that the greater part of that sum will be
available for completing the immense
system which It has about completed in
Omaha. He considers both the trust
eompany and the telephone are guided
by a "lucky star."
The Independent Company 'has already
spent about J400.0W) in construction, but
it will have no income until after March
1. The company has laid an extensive
system of high-class conduits and run the
cables through them and now has about
liOoO telephones working. By March 1 the
company expects to have 4000 telephones
into its exchange, which will start it off
with m income of about $XK) a month.
An extra largo force has been, pat to
work putting in the new instruments,
contracts for which have already been
made with about 6000 subscribers.
The Bell Telephone Company has mo

since the telephone came into existence

tempt to secure the installation of a
competitive plant. Secretary Guild, of
the Omaha Commercial Club, declares
that Omaha is ready to float a bond is
sue of $250,000 to assist the new company,
if necessary, but officials of the Inde
pendent say that with the merger of the
Oregon Trust Company and the German
American Bank, of Portland, this will
not be necessary, as the company now
will have plenty of funds to rush to com
pletion the nlant. Mr. Stow declares that
the high value of the new plant and the
fact that within three months it will be
on a paying basis, and thus self-sustaining,
had much to do with the reopening
of the bank which held the bonds. Much
of the stock in the new company is
owned in Omaha by men who are pre
pared to Increase largely, their holdings
in the event of the company requiring
additional funds at any time.
Under the charter issued to the Inde

LAW TO GOVERN WEIGHTS
COMMITTEE APPROVES HOX-EST-MEASCRE
ORDINANCE.
City May Have Inspector and As
sistant to Protect Public From
Unscrupulous Dealers.
Councilman Kellaher's proposed ordi
nance regulating weights and measures
and providing for the appointment of an
Inspector and an assistant was favorably
recommended to the Council for passage
by the ways and means committee yes
terday afternoon. It will be up" for ac-
tion.at the regular Council-meeting to
morrow afternoon. If it passes, the Civil
Service Commission will be asked to fur
nish the eligibles for the two new offices.
"This ordinance will benefit every
householder in Portland," declared Coun
cilman Kellaher. "It will put an end to
abuses that have existed and that still
exist. It will regulate the length of cord
wood and will specify what shall consti
tute a ton of coal; it provides for the In
spection of scales everywhere, and gives
the inspector power to enforce the regu
lations it contains. If the ordinance is
strictly enforced In an impartial man
ner, purchasers will know that they are
getting full weight or measure."
"To my certain knowledge." continued
Mr. Kellaher, "wood has been delivered
in this city from outside points from
two to six inches short. While it stacks
tip well and appears to be a fffil cord,
actual measurement proves that it Is not
so. This ordinance will put a stop to this
form of cheating. Coal has also been
sold at short weight, and in all lines of
business it is known that short weights
and measures are constantly given. I
believe that If the Council passes this
law these abuses will be abated."

THE PENINSULA.
barber, into trouble at an earljf hour
yesterday morning, but later caused
him to be fined $10 on arraignment In
the Municipal Court. Besides declaring
several clearly defined grievances
against the authorities, Kessler says
he was robbed of a valuable pocket
knife while In the police station.
At his trial - before Judge Cameron
yesterday forenoon it was made cloar
that Kessler was a victim of base in
gratitude and that it was only his ar
dent desire to uphold the law that
caused him to break the ordinance
against discharging firearms insMe the
city limits.
Kessler was arrested for doing what
he had been requested to do by Pa
trolman Bewley, of the second night
relief. Futhermore it was Bewley who
arrested him after the barber had ren
dered valuable aid in holding two
troublesome prisoners, a man and a
woman.
. Bewley had arrested E. L. Palmer
and a woman for fighting in the hotel,
at 62 North Second street, at 2:30
A. M. The two had been drinking and
refused to go peaceably. The police
man was in a quandary until Kessler
emerged from his. ropm nearby to see
what was the cause of the disturbance.
Bewley at once pressed him into serv
ice,' telling him to keep the prisoners
in the room until assistance could ar
rive. -
"I told him I had a revolver In my
room and he said he would hold the door
while I went and got it," Kessler testi
fleld. "The policeman did hold the door,
and when I came back with my re
volver he left me at the door to see
that none escaped."
While' Bewley was out telephoning
for the patrol wagon the prisoners
tried to break out the door btft were
held in check by Kessler's gun. Palmer
then started climbing out a second
story window, the woman after him.
At this Kessler ran into the room,
forced tho woman back and grabbed
at Palmer only in time to get a hand
ful of tho fugitive's hair as the fellow
dropped out the window and fell to
the ground 25 feet below. Palmer
broke his leg In the jump, but got up
and attempted to limp off. Kessler
called on' him to halt and, when he did
not do so, fired a shot in the air to
frighten the escaping man.
It was for this that Kessler was
arrested. When Bewley got back the
room was filled with revolver smoke.
Without regard to the service Kessler
had done him the policeman arrested
his volunteer assistant. . Kessler was
taken to the police station along with
the others and compelled to wait In
jail until the hour for court.
Inasmuch as Bewley pressed the
charge and the violation of. law was
plain, even if technical, Judge Cam
eron said he would be compelled to
find Kessler guilty and fine him $10.
An effort is being made to have the
fine remitted. Even Bewley's fellow
officers sapr he should not have -arrested
the man who was trying to help
him.
After paying his fine and being re
leased from custody, Kessler found he
had a. fresh grievance against the po
lice 'department. He says that when
he was searched before being locked
up a fine knife which he prizes highly
was taken in charge. When his ef
fects were returned to him the knife
was gone, he says. Kessler spent the
balance of the day about the station
trying to find the knife, but It was not
to be had.
Further than that, his arrest along
with Palmer and th drunken woman
caused his name to become linked with
theirs and it was spread about' that
he was arrested for making a jealous
play against Palmer. As a matter of
fact, so- Chief Grltzmacher learned yes
terday, Kessler did not so much as
know the woman and was an innocent
victim of circumstances throughout the
affair.

Construction worlf may be started on
the Portland end of the Oregon &
Washington Railroad, the Union Pacific
extension to Puget Sound, within a few
days, as the result of the visit of Louis
Swift and other officials of the packing
firm of Swift & Company to Portland
at this time. After . conference with
Mr. Swift, General Manager O'Brien, of
the Harriman lines in tills territory,
yeterday made recommendations to
Chicago officials of the Harriman inter
ests that the Oregon & Washington
construction be delayed no longer, but
proceed at once. It is likely that the
work on the south side of the Columbia
River will be started within a short
time.
Maps of the peninsula and the packing-house
district were looked over
yesterday by the Swift officials and
Mr. O'Brien at the latter's office in the
Wells-Fargo building. The Swift offi
cials expressed satisfaction at the plans
outlined by Mr. O'Brien for serving the
Swift packing plants, when completed.
The Swift people Indicate that work
will proceed as rapidly as operations
can be carried on, and that they desire
the spurs built to the packing-house
completed as soon as possible.
One piece of joint railroad building
by the Hill and Harriman interests will
be the track from the main lines of the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle and the
Oregon & Washington Into the packing
house district. This spur will be used
by both railroads. It will leave the
Oregon &. Washington Railroad some
distance east of Maegly Crossing and
run up the river In an easterly direction
into the packing-house tract: As the
Oregon & Washington will join the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle aX the
south approach of the Columbia River
bridge, which -will . be used by both
roads, this spur will be common proper
ty for the use of the two lines.
Yesterday afternoon the Swift party
was the guest of President Josselyn, of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company. President Josselyn accom
panied the visitors to Oregon City in a
private car, where they were, shown
through the paper mills and the electric
power plant. Upon the return to Port
land, the car was- run over the Mount.

the rapid growth of that district. Mr.
Swift and his associates were much im

the dense population that has settled in
the suburbs to the southeast of the city
during the past few years.
The Swift officials have also conferred

years aft.-rward, and perhaps not until
middle age then there can no longer
be any question that these forms of
Eczema are curable.
