14 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1908. BHRS1YC0TT 01 OREGON 0 California Beermaker , Says Weapon Will Be Used Against Prohibition. BARLEY ALSO- ON LIST Visitor Says Movement to Retaliate on Foes of Liquor Interests, Start ed in the South, May Be come Xutionul. Retaliatory measures, Including the boycott of Oregon-produced hops and bailey, are threatened the producers of this state by the brewers, accord In;; to a prominent California brewer who is in Portland. This course is the policy of the brewers towards all pro hibition districts, explained the Call fornlan, in retaliation for action that is considered inimical to the manufac ture of beer. Conferences have already been held by the brewers and other liquor manufacturers in California and definite action towards withdrawing their purchases of both hops and bar ley from this state is to be taken dur ing the Summer. Affiliated with the brewers in their proposed boycott are the allied trades unions that will be affected directly or indirectly by the further , inroads of the temperance forces. The California interests have already established communication with the brewers of the middle West and in the Kastern states with a view to extending the boycott throughout the United States and possibly to Eng land. "Retaliation is the only effective weapon which we have to wage our fight," said the visiting brewer yesterday. "We have concluded that the best way to convince prohibition communities of the folly of hasty and unwise legislation is to withdraw our patronage from those communities. We are satisfied that few of the voters of the State of Oregon realized what the sale of their products for the manufac ture of beer yields to their state when they voted to put the greater part of the state under prohibition. The brewers feel that they are justified in withdrawing their patronage from all pueh unfriendly localities and demon strate in a practical way what the in dustry means to the producer in the way of creating and maintaining a remunerative market for certain products. For Instance, in Oregon the entire hop crop and fully 60 per cent of the barley that is produced are now consumed in the manufacture of beer. The hop crop averages a revenue to your state of to, 003,000 annually. Not having statistics as to the production of barley, I am unable to estimate the income to the producers from that crop. "We have a local option law in Cai ifornia, but it is not being worked overtime in the interest of state pro hibition. The town of Sclma recently was voted dry and the incident has resulted in action by the leading com mercial organizations of the state, which have advised that further legis lation in that direction be taken only after mature deliberation of the-consequences. The result at Selma moved the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, admit tedly one of the leading commercial or ganizations of the country, to adopt the following resolutions last Tuesday, June 9: Whefras, The Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, at request, has gathered In formation on the wine, barley and ho In dustries of the state and finds the facts to be as follows: Barley: 1907 crop year, ac cording to the ITnlted States Government figures Acres, 1.040.0(H); yield, 15.O28.000 centals; value. M7.282- probable value or land employed, about $.10,000,000. Hops: 1007 crop year; acreB. in. 000; yield, 05,000 bales, or 10,000.000 pounds; value crop for 1907. S3.no0.0o0; invested in the Industry, about S8,500,OiK. Grapes: Total acreafre. 2r0.000; value of vineyards, wineries, drying houses and other establishments connected with the grape-growing, over $100,000,000. With the acreage lately planted and shortly coming Into bearing, the yield of grapes will approx imate 1.000,000 tons per annum, which, when manufactured Into wine, raisins or shipped as green grares. have a value .to the state exceeding $25,000,000 per annum; and. Resolutions of Business Men. Whereas. Many members of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco largely con cerned in the production of and manufac ture from grapes, barley and hops have requested the trustees to take appropriate Rt'tiPTi looking toward the preservation of these Industries, therefore, be It Resolved. That the trustees, recognizing the magnitude of the Interests involved, do recommend: First That the trade and commercial organizations in the state use their efforts to prevent the sacrifice of these products and the destruction of industries connected therewith, and take means to prevent hasty and unwise legislation by the people or authorities representing them; It being the opinion of the trustees that the best inter ests of the body politic vill be subserved by an effective' control of the liquor traffic under a system of adequate licensing and by the enforcement of all laws and regu lations adopted to that end, aid not by an adoption and attempted enforcement of pro hibitory laws. Second That a copy of this resolution be sent to the members of the Chambers of Commerce and to the respective commer cial bodies throughout the state.

CHILD DIES FROM PILLS Swallows Medicine Supposedly Harmless Goes Into Spasms. A box of lapactlc pills, the kind which are accepted as a harmless household remedy, which was carelessly thrown by a mother on her bed containing her only child yesterday morning caused the child's death. The child was Ruth De Grandpre, the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. DeGrandpre, w lib reside at S60 East Tenth street North. Mr. De Grandpre, who is 'a harnessmaker. em ployed by P. J. Cronln & Company, had left the house for his work. Mrs. De Grandpre, feeling slightly Indisposed, took one of the pills from the box, swal lowed It, and dropped the box at the foot of the bed. When she same back the baby, which ehe had left covered up at the head of the bed. had crawlecs to the foot and had the empty pill box In its hand. "Mamma," she said, "I've eaten them all." In a few minutes the child showed signs of being sick. Mrs. DeGrandpre called in Dr. J. G. Abele, of Sll Union avenue North. When the doc tor arrived the baby was seized with spasms. He treated her constantly until 2:30 o'clock and at that hour she died from exhaustion. She had swallowed from 12 to 15 of the pills which, examina tion showed, to each contain one-sixtieth of a grain of strychnine. Deputy Coroner A. L.

ASKS REVISION OF CHARTER EAST SIDE CLVB WANTS COM MISSION NAMED. Resolution Passed Requesting That Work Bo Begun and Report Made by October 15. The North East Side Improvement As sociation adopted a resolution at its meeting last night In Woodmen Hall, on Russell street, favoring a complete re vision of the present charter and asking the City Council to pass an ordinance ap pointing a commission to undertake the revision. This commission is to report. If appointed, not later than October 15, so its work may be submitted to a vote of the people for approval. -W. T. Jacob sen. H. A. Heppner. E. A. McGrath and M. G. Munly were appointed a committee to bring the need of a revision to the attention of the Council. This matter came up through the re marks of President Munly in his report on affairs since last meeting. He said the banquet by the United East Side Push Clubs and the lecture of R. H. Thomson were events of significance, and that now steps should be taken to put into effectthe suggestions that were made. He declared that the present charter was a piece of patchwork. Its provisions both uncertain and confusing, and it required a court opinion to decide the real meaning of any portion. It was doubtful, he said, whether a bridge across the Willamette River could be built un der the present charter. He urged a sweeping revision that would incorporate the provisions urged by R. H. Thomson for the paving and improving of streets. D. L. Povey spoke on the same sub ject, also commending the movement for revision of the charter so it would be more in keeping with the progress of the city. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Mr. Povey brought up the question of expediting the decision of the Supreme Court on the bond issues voted laist year by asking that the case be advanced on the calendar. The City Attorney will be asked to take some steps to petition the Supreme Court to advance the case. Mr. Munly was Instructed to join with Mr. Kavanaugh in this petition. Complaints having been made over the condition of streetcar service on Union avenue, that matter was referred to the streetcar committee. This committee also will look into the new streets . on which the streetcar company Is asking franchises. The meeting adjourned till next Friday night, at which time all committees are urged to report, so all business may be cleared up before the association adjourns for the. Summer months. TWO VENIRES USED UP Attorneys Encounter Difficulty In Securing Jury to Try McCasslin. HEPPNER, Or., June 12. (Special.) Two days are gone and yet no jury has been secured for the hearing of the Mc Casslin murder trial. The attorneys have used up two venires and only eight men have been secured. Some of the Jurors qualified for the defense, but when it came to the prosecution they had scru ples against capital punishment or had read the reports published last Fall of the affair and had formed an opinion that could not be changed. Here The Oregonian figured extensive ly, and there were very few of the farmers, for they are all farmers, who do not take the big Portland daily, and had gathered an idea from the news and facts relative to the case published in this paper. Sheriff Shutt arid deputies are working hard to secure another venire to report In the morning at nine o'clock. Young Woman Tries Suicide. A young married woman about 24 years of age and of comely appearance who gave the ficticious name of Mrs. Lizzie Johnson was found yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock in a room in the lodging-house, 331 First street, just after she had taken poison in an attempt to commit suicides She swallowed about a dozen antiseptic tablets and was Just re moving the bottle from her Hps when Patrolman Graves, who had been called to the scene, burst into the room. She was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital, where at a late hour last night she was said to be in a very precarious condition. Little is known about the woman by the police save that she is a young married woman who has gone the downward path and who has so far succeeded in keeping her identity from the police. She has been arrested three times within the past few weeks. Two weeks ago she was found unconscious on Washington street about 11 o'clock at night after having made, it is supposed, an at tempt on her life. A like Incident hap pened two weeks before that.

Youngsters Interfere With . Block System on Mount Scott Line. Other Juvenile Court Affairs. Oliver Cummings was sentenced by Judge Gantenbein In the Juvenile Court yesterday afternoon to the Reform School, but the sentence was suspended. He is one of the youngsters who have been interfering with the block system of the Mount Scott division of the Port land Railway Company. Young Cum mings came Into court yesterday after noon with his mother and told the Court how he aimed a rock at the crossarm of a trolley pole, the stone slipping from his grasp and striking the glass of the signal light. The light is located at Stew arts Station. Rome Sarchct was to have appeared on a similar charge, but was not able to do so on account of sickness. He will be brought before the Court next Tuesday, when it is probable that the same dispo sition will be made of his case. The lights were broken about two weeks ago. The most serious charge against the boys, however, is that of turning the lights the wrong color by means of a long pole. Deputy Sheriff l.illis said yester day that several other arrests of offend ing youngsters will probably be made within a few days. Judge Gantenbein stated yesterday that any, other young sters found to be wilfully breaking the lights would be summarily sent to the Reform School. Five little boys were brought into court for swimming in Guild's Lake without bathing suits. Two of them said they wore tights, and upon looking up the law it was found that the requirement is that boys under 1:! years shall wear bathing suits reaching from the waist to the knees, and those over 1:! years full suits, from the necks to the knees. A young baseball fan. brought in for resisting Officer P. J. Merrick when the latter refused to lot him lie outside the fence of the Vaughn-street grounds and watch the game through a knot-hole, said the officer threw a sawhorse" at him. The officer charged that the boy tried to Jerk his star off. Judge Gantenbein dis missed the charge. DEAD OF THE NORTHWEST J. Q. Barnes, Prominent Merchant of the Capital City. SALEM, Or., June 12.

Write Us About Rose City Park This Very Day- Property Values Increasing 25 Per Cent Per Year It ever there was a city with a destiny, that city is Portland, Ore Bon. Every man and woman that has visited this city, leaves it Im pressed with the mighty possibili ties that confront it. Its destiny, briefly stated,- is supremacy In com merce, leadership In finance and the metropolis of the Pacific Coast. It is In just such a city that the great est fortunes are always made. Real Kstatc Is the basis of these gjreat fortunes. In Portland, this very tlay, there are Innumerable oppor tunities for the laying- of the foun dation of a fortune or the increasing- of one already made. Portland 'challensjcs the world in the num ber of Its building permits, the In crease In clearances, In the blk of its wheat and lumber shipments. In the permanency of its banks and the integrity of its commercial in stitutions. Fail to invest In Port land real estate and you fail to grasp the most promising oppor tunity of your natural life. NO MATTER. SEND FOR OUR HANDSOMELY ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET, CONTAINING PICTURES OF ROSE CITY PARK HOMES YOU WE WILL SEND YOU A STREET MAP . OF PORTLAND FREE UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR REQUEST Real estate In a large city ad vances most rnpidly where It Is In greatest demand. A city that is in creasing at the rate of 20 per cent annually In population, spreading every year, hungers for space for homes. The demand for homesltes Is greater In Portland than that for any other class of property. The West Side of Portland Is about crowded enough, and the East Side, where now reside 60 per cent of the city's population, has unlimited area over which to spread. In all this area there Is nothing more at tractive than Rose City Park, the premier home place of the American continent. Its elevation is very high, overlooking the entire city and the Willamette River, yet reached by streetcar with almost no perceptible climb. It Is rolling, yet without steep hills; It is covered with a growth of celebrated Oregon fir trees, giving delightful shade In the day time and cooling the breezes of early evening. ROSE CITY PARK IS A SAFE INVESTMENT Rose City Park Is a place for homes. Business is restricted, ex cept In places especially reserved for that purpose. It lies on a di agonal road, leading from the heart of the business district, straight as an arrow, bisecting Rose City Park, from corner to corner. Along the magnificent highway, the pioneer road of the county, a carline has been built, providing service every 10 and 15 minutes, making the run in. 25 minutes. Although but a year old, over half of Rose City Park has been sold to those who are planning to build. Nearly 25 homes have al ready been built and are now oc cupied. A delightful community has been established, an improve ment league organized and through that organization a Sunday school has been secured, a public school which is under the Jurisdiction, of the city School Board, and every convenience that la enjoyed in the older residence sections of the city are to be found right here. Rose City Park has building re strictions; no home can be built to cost less than $1500. As a rule, those that have been built are-considerably more expensive than that. The famous Bull Run water is piped in front of every lot. Every street is graded and cement sidewalks will gridiron the entire 1100 acres. Telephones are in and electric lights connected. One can readily understand that a community such as this, .with all these improvements and as popu lar as this, cannot be other than a splendid investment.
