t 10 THE MOUSING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22. 1908. SMALLER FARMS NEED OF VALL&Y Railroad Men Indorse Plan to Increase Population in Rural Districts. WORK WITH REALTY BOARD Improvement of Agricultural Condi tions Included In Project Dis cussed at Meeting at Which Big Interests Are Represented. Managers ot the railroads centering In Portland grave their hearty Indorse ment yesterday to a plan to split up the farms of the Willamette Valley into smaller holdings and Improve agricultural conditions generally throughout Western Oregon. Better farming environments. Increased pro ductlvlty and a denser population, it tib said, would follow the , changes outlined. The project was set on foot by the Portland Realty Board and the com mittee having It in charge met at the Commercial Club yesterday, where the railroad men had been asked to con fer with the real estate men. The re sult of the meeting was most favora ble to the success of the plan and the committee will make Its report "within a few days to the Realty Board. There Is little question but the report will be a favorable one and that the move ment will be taken up actively. Whitney L. Boise Presides. Representative railroad men met with the committee yesterday and made brief talks which were all fav orable to the change in agricultural methods In Western Oregon. Whitney L. Boise, who called the meeting on behalf of the Realty Board, presided and Introduced the subject by outlin ing a plan whereby the large farms ' of the Willamette Valley should be divided and more scientific farming methods followed. He pointed out the benefits that would follow such ac tion. Dr. James Withycombe. director of the Oregon Experiment Station, at Corvallis, spoke, saying the plan Is practical and urged those present to undertake the work for he believes it the biggest thing that can be done for the development of the country. He said the proposed change in con ditions would benefit many people, for it would bring about a far denser pop ulation for the country directly tribu tary to Portland. Francis B. Clark, president of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway; It. B. Miller, general freight agent for the Harrlman lines In this territory; G. W. Talbot, general manager for the Oregon Electric Railway; Benage S. Josselyn, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, spoke and favored the project and assured the realty men of the full co-operation of the various railroads they represent. Added Wealth for Producers. C. C. Colt, of the Union Meat Com pany, and George M. Brown, president of the Hazelwood Cream Company, spoke, showing what can be accom plished along the lines suggested in increasing the dairy and livestock products of Western Oregon, resulting in added wealth to the producers. E. L. Thompson of the Realty Board, spoke encouragingly on the subject, and H. A. Wheler, of Chicago, who was a visitor at the club yesterday, was Introduced by Tom Richardson and gave an Interesting discussion of the value of more scientific agricul ture and the benefits of smaller and better cultivated farms. He heartily approved of the plan and said It was the best proposition he had heard since he has been on his present trip west from Chicago. As soon as the committee of the Realty Board makes its report to that organization. It is expected the mem bers will start active work on a prop osition to bring about the changes desired. A campaign along these lines will be launched that promises to be of great benefit to this state. C HANGES IX STREETCAK LIXES Eleventh and Thirteenth Streets Service Will Be Combined. Marked changes will be made in the operation of cars on Eleventh and Thir teenth streets if a proposition now under consideration by the officials of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company is approved by the Council end the pending franchises asked for by the street railway company are granted. It Is planned to extend the Eleventh-street line to Hall and build a track on Hall to Thirteenth and on Thirteenth to Portland Academy, the present terminus of the Thirteenth street line. This will form a loop so that tars from the down-town district will run up Harrison to Eleventh, on Eleventh to Hall and back on Thirteenth to Washing ton and down Washington to Third or Second. By this means, says President Josselyn of the trolley company, the number of cars on the run can be Increased and a better service given. "People of this dis trict have been clamoring for better ser vice for some time," said President Jos selyn. "The present traffic, with cars operated independently on the Eleventh and Thirteenth-street lines, does not Justify the present service but It is thought that by putting the two lines to gether and operating them together the service desired can be given. "While this plan may not be satis factory to everyone living in the district, it seems the best that the company can make out of a bad proposition and will no doubt In the end be appreciated by all." Another plan is up for consideration whereby the streetcar company will aban don the tracks on Fourteenth street, be tween Gllsan and Thurman streets. This district, formerly occupied by residences, has been given up almost wholly to ware houses and very little traffic for a street car line is offered. The North and South Portland cars, which are now operated on Fourteenth street, will be routed on Six teenth street Instead and the Fourteenth street tracks torn up. This will give double the present frequency of cars on Sixteenth as at present between Olisan and Thurman. It is also proposed to give up a short piece of track on Nineteenth street, from Thurman to Sherlock avenue, and all tha track on Sherlock avenue. A new track will then be built on Twenty first street from Thurman to Sherlock avenue. The abandonment of any present tracks cannot be accomplished, however, without reducing the amount of the bonded debt, which Is Impracticable, or by building an equal amount of new track In some other locality to preserve the existing equities. 1 Olympla Beer.

CLUTK, CAUGHT BY OREGONIAN PHOTOGRAPHER JUST AS THEY WERE LEAVING CITY JAIL FOR COUNTY JAIL. FAIR SUSPECT IS HRY ALLEGED DIAMOND THIEF RE SENTS jail Lira. Pretty Mrs. Arthur Clute Greall Perturbed Over Indignities Upon Herself and Her Infant Child. Protesting , that she had never before ridden in a patrol and begging to be re moved in a carriage. Mrs. Arthur H. Clute, accused of the theft of $2000 worth of jewels, was yesterday transferred from police headquarters to the County Jail. Her husband, also in custody, and 9-months-old baby, accompanied her. For 24 hours she was a prisoner in the women's ward of the City Jail, under the care of Matron Simmons. It is the first time, according to Mrs. Simmons, that a woman has been Imprisoned In the City Jail with a child so young. Oblivious to her surroundings, the child laughed and played and entertained other prisoners in the women's ward. Mrs. Clute is Indignant as a result of her arrest. So also is her husband. It is purely a "frame-up," she declares, and somebody Is sure to suffer for the indig nities heaped upon her. They were arrested yesterday afternoon in their flat, at 3 47 Eleventh street, where they have lived for two months. They are accused of having stolen from Jacob Fleischman. a jeweler of Cran- brook. B. C, diamonds and other gems of the value of $2000. The arrests were caused at the instigation of the Canadian police. A Canadian officer is here to es cort them back to the north in case ex tradition papers are secured. Mrs. Clute denies positively that she is guilty of the theft or of any other crime. She knows the jeweler well, she says, but is unable to explain his motives in making such accusations. He Is a traveling salesman, she declares, and she has purchased many jewels from him. She has always paid him and owes him nothing at the present time. T don't owe him a dollar, she said in the City Jail yesterday. 'Nor were my husband or myself trying to escape or hide from any ye. We have lived here SPIRITUALIST ROW IS CASE OF BUTTON, WHO HAS THE BUTTON? State and National Organizations Are Waging Legal Warfare as to Respect ive Standing of Their Orders in the Local Courts. "B UTTON, button, who's got the button." That was the game that was played in Judge Bronaugh's court with a few slight variations, yesterday morning. The books and records' of the State Spir itualist Society were substituted for the "button," and Green C. Love was "It." But as he didn't call the spirits to his aid In finding the records, he was still If when Court adjourned at noon, the Judge deciding that whoever had the books might keep them until Love suc ceeds In locating them. Love Is suing Mrs. Sophia B. Seip. Vir ginia Howe. Mrs. Lou Ellen Cornell, Mrs. Fannie Branch, Mrs. Belle M. Haviland, Miss Jennie Werner and Edwin King, to oust them as directors of the state asso ciation, and to recover $2090 damages from each of them on the charge that they have been holding office Illegally. " Yes terday's seance in court was -the result of an order issued by Judge O'Day against Mrs. Seip and Mrs. Cornell, di recting them to come into court and show cause why they should not turn over the books of the association to Love, who is a member of the First Spiritual Society, and is known as a "missionary." Had Xo Right Here. Attorney Ralph Dunlway appeared for Mrs. Seip. while Mrs. Cornell was hot represented in court although present her self. Mr. Duniway contended that the president of the National Spiritualists' As sociation has no right to come to Oregon and oust the officers of a body Incorpor ated in this state. "It is a very small matter, anyway. Your Honor," said Mr. Duniway. "New officers are to be elected in September. The plaintiff wants this court to put this corporation in the hands of Yanckwlch. as attorney in fact, and give the plaintiff J2000 damages from each of the defendants because they are not the particular brand of spiritualists he thinks they should be. Attorney Yanckwlch told the courc that Lou Ellen Cornell, secretary of the state association, had filed an answer in court to Love's quo war ranto complaint, in which he admits all his allegations, and that she is no looser a member of the board of CHARGED WITH STEALING RARE for two months and have never been in trouble before. "Mr. Fleischman must certainly explain these accusations, for he has no evi dence of our having committed a crime. It is a shame to bring us here and to keep my baby here." Attorney John F. Logan has been re tained by the prisoners and he predicts that the Canadian jeweler will have con siderable difficulty in proving the charges that have been made. Mrs. Clute is a daughter by his tlrst wife, of Newton Whitestone, a wealthy sheepman of Morrow County. CLUB TO BANQUET BRUSH Dinner in Honor of Xew Comman der at Vancouver Members of the Arlington Club will give a complimentary dinner to Brigadier General Daniel F. Brush tonight in the banquet room of the club, to which his staff has been Invited, and about 50 mem bers of the club will attend. The affair promises to be a brilliant otic General Brush has lately come to take command of the Department of the Co lumbia, U. S. A., with headquarters at Vancouver Barracks. The dinner tonight will be in the nature :of a welcome to his new post of duty. About IB members of his. staff will probably attend. Ex-Senator Gearln, president of the Ar lington Club, will act as toastmaster and a few prominent members of the club will be called upon to speak, and General Brush will probably make a short reply to the good . wishes expressed by his hosts. Relations of the club organiza tion "and the officers at the Vancouver garrison, have always been of the most pleasant character and it is the desire of the club membership to make the new commander feel that he has the best wishes of Portland people at his new post of duty.

Mrs. Branch and Mrs. Condon are no longer members of the state body. This order was Issued last Saturday. Says She Belongs. Mr. Duniway replied to Yanckwich by holding out an affidavit, signed by Mrs. Cornell, In which she claims to be still a' member of the association. The Court asked Yanckwich If he had al leged in his petition for the order, directing Mrs. Seip and Mrs. Cornell to deliver up the books, that they ever had the books, and was informed by the attorney that there was no peti tion. "Then where are your allega tions on which I am to make an order?" asked the Court. "Oh, we will make the allegations afterward, answered Yanckwich. . Yanckwich insisted that the- books should be turned over, and the Court said that if Mrs. Cornell was out of office the board of trustees was en titled to them. "But there is no board of directors," said Yanckwich. "And Love is not entitled to them," re plied the Court. "Mrs. Seip has them and she has no right to them," replied Yanckwlch. "What difference does it make who haa them," interposed At torney Duniway. "Well, it makes a whole lot of dif ference to us. Somebody might come in here and make a gift of $10,000 to the state association, and we want the books in the proper hands." After arguing with the Court, and informing him in a guarded way that his decision was all wrong. Yanckwich said that if he had to make allega tions, he would make them at once, "before you leave the bench your honor." "But Mrs. Cornell must be served with the papers," said the Court. "She has already been served," replied Yanckwich. "Well, you file your allegations with the clerk," answered the Court. Yanckwlch is endeavoring to put the case through court . with the least possible expense, even seeking last week to have the filing fee remitted, GEMS DEBTS ARE WIPED OUT OREGON TRUST OBLIGATIONS CUT 65 PER CENT. Receiver Has Realized Promptly on Assets of Defunct Institution Now in Merger. That 65 per cent of t.ie liabilities of the defunct Oregon Trust & Savings Bank has been liquidated since the as sets and bad debts' of the failed insti tution have been taken over by the German-American Bank, is the most Interesting feature of the report of Receiver Devlin filed with the court yesterday. Although Receiver Devlin has two years In which to wind up the affairs of the defunct bank and meet the claims against It, he has made this splendid showing in four months and a half. Prom the liabilities listed January 15 at $2,208,455.15. the indebtedness has been reduced to $628,985.06. As sets were listed In January at $2,135, 694.88 and they are now $719,051.24. The report is dated at the close of business June 30. Prom the progress made so far, it appears that much less than the two years granted by the courts will be needed to wind up the affairs of the closed institution. However, the best of the assets have been realized upon, as the most available to close the ac counts so far satisfied and the remain ing debts to be paid oft will not be handled- so readily. But the success of the new management of the affairs of the old bank will be eminently sat isfactory to all depositors and others interested in the settlement of the bank's accounts. In brief, the report just given by Receiver Devlin shows that of out standing loans and discounts amount ing to "$323,874.86 last January, $298, 520.14 has been Collected. This Item was not considered a strong asset when the bank closed its doors but the success of the receiver in collect ing so much of the outstanding loans in so short a time shows good per sistent work. Telephone bonds, which were cred ited with having swamped the bank, a little over a year ago because of the apparently childlike faith of the bank's managers in the security until they bought a total of $1,106,600, have happily been reduced to about $324,000. HOT WAVE IS PASSING Mercury Reaches 87, but Promised Storm Does Not Come. Three degrees cooler than Monday was the record for yesterday.

VALLEY WHEAT CROP GOOD Heavy Yield of Fall Grain About Harrisburg. HARRIS BURG, Or., July a. (Special.) The farmers of this section are prepar ing for the approaching harvest. Wagons, headerbeds, and everything appertaining to the harvest outfit is being fitted for use. In the meantime many self-bmding harvesters have gone to the fields today. The report is that a better yield from the Fall- own grain will be realized than during the last ten years. On account of the late hot, dry weather fears are ex pressed in regard to Spring-sown grain that it will not mature in good form. However, in years past, when dry sea sons occurred, this same complaint has been heard, but in every instance the grain has come to the warehouses sounder and heavier than in years when there was greater precipitation.

'5 VETOES MAY NOW STAND Driscoll's Vote Will Allow the Council Minority to Block Measures of Majority. LIVELY SESSION EXPECTED Ordinances Proposing Erection of New City Jail and Exclusion of Women From Saloons Will Come Up Today. Today- session of . the City Council bids faiito be worth attending:. Aside from a number of Important measures that are coming up for action, it will be notable as the first meeting of that body In which M. J. Drlscoll. Councll-man-at-Large, will appear as a mem ber of the minority faction. It will be interesting. alo, to note what effect his desertion from the ranks of the so-called "solid ten" will have upon legislation. He is but on of 15 mem bers, but much depends upon his action Just at this time. Desperate efforts are being made, .both by majority and minority leaders, to "land" Mr. Drlscoll, and It remains to be seen whether ho will vote with the minority hence forth, or will wreak vengeance for a time only by so doing, and then return to the opposing faction. Mr. Drlscoll is about as angry as it is possible for a city legislator to be and contain himself, because he believes that he has been used as a sort of a mat by his associates of the "solid ten," and he has publicly declared that he will not longer act with the ma jority. The greatest fight he ever -led was in attempting to keep alive a license for the Pullman cafe, an Alder street resort, and when he was in the thickest of the battle, he says his col leagues deserted him and 1st him go down to defeat. Drlscoll Ready to Fight. "They refused to help me when I needed their help, although I had acted with them for months and had sup ported them whenever they asked me to," says Mr. Drlscoll of his colleagues. "When I wanted them to stand by me, they turned me down hard. Now, you want to try afld hold your breath until I support them again. I'll fight them right down the line, and show them what a real independent man can do in this Council." Mr. Driscoll's attitude means more than the' mere shifting from the major ity to the minority faction. By voting with the five minority members, he makes It absolutely impossible for the majority faction henceforth to pass any measure over the veto of Mayor Lane, as It takes a two-thirds majority to do eo, and the desertion of Mr. Drlscoll leaves the majority lacking one vote. This will really leave the majority powerless to accomplish anything of importance in case of a veto. That Mr. Drlscoll is a hard fighter Is acknowledged, and that there will be animated times at future sessions, unless he is won back to the majority, is predicted. He has already laid plans to retaliate on Councilman Wills, whom he considers as having been the prime mover in the recent defeat by the ma jority faction. Says Wills Has an Object. Mr. Wills has introduced an ordi nance authorizing the Executive Board to sell the City Jail site and to use the money for the purchase of other prop- Councilman Drlscoll, Who De clares He W'llr Oppose Major ity Faction. erty and the erection of a new build ing. Mr. Drlscoll has announced that Mr. Wills Is doing this to sell to the city a piece of property at Ninth and Davis streets, in which he owns an in terest. This matter comes up for ac tion today, and a clash is expected. Mr. Wills is also known as a deter mined fighter. One interesting feature of the case relates to the proposed ordinance which was drawn to keep women from sa loons. Mr. Drlscoll Is the author of this measure, and Mr. Wills Is on rec ord as strongly favoring its passage. Now. however, Mr. Wills has come out with a substitute, the main feature of which is to put in an ordinance defin ing a saloon. It is known there is con siderable opposition to the Drlscoll or dinance, and It Is now said that the majority members will sidetrack the Driscoll ordinance again and have it sent to a committee for further con sideration. It would probably go to the committee on health and police, of which Mr. Wills is a member, and there such alterations, amendments and changes could be made as might be de sired. Mr. Driscoll's change of attitude. Is the most radical occurring in the Coun cil since the last city election. The division of the Council now is as fol lows: Majority faction Annand, Ba ker. Belding. Bennett. Cellars, Dunning, Menefee, Wallace and Wills. Minority faction Cottel, Concannon, Drlscoll, Kellaher, Rushlight and Vaughn. Cashier Foils Bank Robbers. ADA. O., July 21.

For the first time in many years, grass hoppers are creating havoc In the alfalfa fields and gardens In the vicinity of Pilot Rock. In some Instances, the hoppers have seriously damaged the second and third cuttings of alfalfa along the Birch Creek Valley, while gardens have suf fered still more seriously, only on a much smaller scale.
