STATION FOR EAST SIDE
Modern Central Quarters and Jail
Recommended Annual Report
of Chief to Mayor and
Connctl Completed.
Chief of Police Gritzmacher will rec
ommend to the Mayor and City Council
m appropriation of $280,000. the em
ployment of 50 more patrolmen, and the
construction of a modern station-house
and Jail to cost $25,000, on the lot
owned bjr the city at Union avenue and
Hancock street, on the East Side. In
his annual estimate. Just finished, the
Chief makes these Items the principal
ones.
In an interview yesterday. Chief
Grltrmacher said that. If the Council
and Executive Board will accept his
recommendation and put up a good
atatlon-house on the lot at Union ave
nue and Hancock street. It will solve
the problem. of a new City Jail and
headquarters building on the West
Side. He said the department can
operate nicely In the present building
for a few years, should the East Side
station be allowed.
As to the extra number of patrol
men he will ask for. Chief Gritzmacher
declared that, while It may look to bo
a large number, yet with these added
to the department the total number
of officers will be only 190. fewer than
any city of Portland's population.
Solve Xew Station. Problem.
"I will recommend that the Council
appropriate $260,000 for the operating
expenses of the department for 1909,"
said Chief Gritzmacher. "For 1908 wa
had $190,000. Out of the amount to be
asked. It Is my purpose to recommend
the construction of a modern station
house and Jail on the lot at Union ave
nue and Hancock street, now owned by
the city. A good, adequate station, to
accommodate all of the officers doing
duty on the East Side, and a Jail to
house a good number of prisoners, can
be built at a cost not to exceed $25,000.
If the Council sees fit to grant this, it
will relieve them of the problem of a
new headquarters building and City
Jail, so long unsolved, as we can get
along all right with the present struc
ture for a few years more.
"It Is Important, too. that there shall
be a police station on the East Side, as
the territory is so large and the need
so great that It Is very expensive to
operate as now. All officers doing duty
across the river have to travel to and
from their work dally, entailing a woe
ful loss of time, which the city pays
for. With the rapid growth of the
Peninsula and other portions of the
East Side, the need for a station-house
becomes greater every day, and in a
short time It will be Imperative; we
must have one there.
City lias Too Few Policemen.
"I will ask for 50 additional patrol
men, and the request Is moderate, ail
things considered. That will give us
but 190 men. whereas in Seattle, for ex
ample, they have 250. No city of im
portance employs so few policemen as
Portland. Les attention has been
given this department since Its organ
ization years ago than any other de
partment In the city, although the
work has piled up tremendously. I now
feel that It is time that the force Is
materially enlarged, and If we get the
0 extra men. and the East Side sta
tion, the department will be able to
give the city flrst-claas service."
The Police Department now con
sists of the Chief, three patrol captains,
three sergeants, one of whom Is in
command of the detective staff; 110
patrolmen, three drivers, three Jailers,
eight detectives and one matron. In
the near future six more sergeants are
to be appointed by the Executive Board.
There are 12 vacancies on the patrol
list at present.

HORSES PLAY FOOTBALL
One of Features With Buffalo Bill s
Wild West Show.
. When Buffalo Bill's "Wild West"
comes to town there will be displayed
as one of the many features with that
superior organization a game of football
on horseback, something entirely new In
the line of equestrian sports. The dem
onstration of this new game has been one
of the most popular features of the exhi
bition wherever it has been seen, and aa
it has the added virtue of novelty. It la
sure to be Interesting to all beholders. It
Is played with a large ball half as big
as the ordinary horse, upon the regulation
gridiron, with goals at both ends of the
Wild West's vast arena.
The horses are padded at the knees
and grotesquely caparisoned with all the
pads and masks of the regulation foot
ball player. The riders direct their ponies
against the ball, and by bumping it with
their knees, shoving and kicking It, attain

Western scenes which are distributed

In all these scenes Colonel William F.

life upon the plains. All the realism and

SEPTEMBER TERM TO OPEN
Circuit Court to Hold Sitting en
Banc Today.
Judges Gantenbeln, Cleland, Bronaugh
and Morrow will sit en banc at 9:30 this
morning at the first session of the Sep
tember term of the State Circuit Court.
The first business on hand will be the
drawing of the grand Jury, which ' will
investigate the 200-odd cases now await
ing it.
Although the trial calendar is now filled
for September and October, with some
cases In November and December, it Is
probable that more cases will be set to
day, as a large number are waiting.
These will be further increased as the
grand jury hands down its findings.
As It will necessitate the presence of
the presiding Judge With the grandi Jury,
to pass upon technical points of law,
the duties of the other three Judges will
be inoreased. There are cases awaiting
trial which have been filed a year. The
congested condition of the docket, and
the few Judges who must cope with the
work, render it impossible to reach them
sooner.
One of the important cases which will
be tried during the September term of
court to that of Jackson C. Reld, the 11-year-old
slayer of George F. DeMars.

The City Council session, scheduled
for tomorrow morning, will be a busy
one. as a large amount of business and,
soma Important matters will be taken
up for action. The volume of street
work to be considered Is unusually
large, and It is certain that the entire
day will be consumea oeiore me tum

Whether the Council shall send one
or two delegates to the annual con
vention of the League of American
Municipalities, Is a question that prom
Inoa an animated debate. This will
come up on majority and minority
reports, the majority of the members
of the committee on ways and means at
the last meeting favoring favorable
action, and the minority being opposed.
Councilman Vaughn's motion to send
nne delegate carried, and with that re
port there Is a recommendation that
the Council appropriate $300 to defray
the expense. Councilman Rushlight,
chairman of the committee ana presi
dent of the Council, Is opposed to send
ing any delegate, but be says that if
the Council send any, it should send
two. He believes that both the Des
Moines plan and the Portland system
of government as represented by the
charter commission should be given fair
play, and fnat one member of the com
mission favoring the Des Moines plan
and one favoring the Portland system
should go, if any be sent.
It is also expected that Councilman
Kellaher will attempt to amend the
resolution introduced by him two
weeks ago directing the. Portland Rail
way. Light & Power Company to put
all of its wires under ground on Haw
thorne avenue. In advance of the hard
surface pavement ordered for that
thoroughfare. This will create a lively
debate, for certain members of the
Council aro opposed to this move, and
are prepared to fight the amendment.
The resolution was laid on the table
at tho last session, after a heated dis
cussion, but Mr. Kellaher promised to
renew his efforts to secure its adop
tion. There was a small attendance
at the time, but tomorrow it is ex
pected all of the members will be pres
ent. If they are. It may be that the
resolution will receive favorable action,
because of the disorganization that
prevails among the former majority
faction known as the "solid ten."
Councilman Wills' proposed ordi
nance, describing the interior of a
saloon as four walls, with but one en
trance and no curtains, alcoves,
lounges, chairs or painted windows,
will probably be up for action, and if
It Is, It Is bound to create a big fight.
It is too radical to suit the liquor in
terests, and it is known they are
strongly opposed to Its passage.
The report of the committee on ways
and means, recommending an appro
priation of $900 for tne employment
of two Inspectors and nurse, to, be on
duty In thi public schools, will be the
cause of some discussion. While it was
the unanimous opinion of the members
present at the committee meeting that
this sum should be granted to City
Health Officer Pohl to he used as stat
ed, there are those in the Council who
are opposed to the plan, and they are
expected to make a big fight to defeat
the approprjation ordinance.
Another interesting event scheduled
for this session Is . the apology which
Councilman Cottel has announced he
will make. He called Councilman
Belding a liar at the last session, and
later gave out a statement saying that
he will offer an apology to the Coun
cil, but not to Mr. Belding. The Inci
dent occurred during a discussion of
the Schwarzschlld & Sulzberger Com
pany, a packing concern in South Port
land, which Councilman Kellaher and
Cottel wish closed because, as they
state, It is in the city limits. Council
man Belding charged both his col
leagues with ulterior motives.

WHY is the earth like a cat's tall?
Because its fur to the end. This
good old medical almanac Joke was made
by someone who never saw Ginger Met
schan, or, at least, had seen him in the
last few months.
Some time ago a fiend In human form
fastened a rubber band on the tall of
the Imperial Hotel cat, a fine big yellow
specimen of the feline family, given his
name by reason of his color. Ginger has
been for years the pet, or at least ac
quaintance of guests of the hotel. After
the rubber band had remained on his
tail for several days it was noticed that
the old cat kept much out of sight and
appeared to be in great distress. Finally
he became so evidently sick that a vet
erinarian was asked to examine into his
condition, when the discovery was made
that the rubber band had worked so
deeply into the poor feline's tail that it
was ready about to drop off. In order
to save Ginger s life it was advised that
the tall be amputated. This was done.
and for weeks afteV Ginger had recovered
everything save the most of his tail he
seemed to be lost in regretful retrospec
tion. The little stump left of his ertwhile

ger, nevertheless. Is a philosopher. Grad
ually he came to entertain the belief that
an abbreviated tail has advantages over a
lone one. Where formerly he made a
quick dash to clear a closing door. In
fear of having his tail caught, he now
proceeds more deliberately. He no longer
is bothered, upon lying down, to dispose
carefully of his tall so It shall not be
trodden on while he sleeps.
It took some time for the cat to re
alize fully, however, that the tall was
mtBslng. He experiences, at times, sen
sations located in the missing part of
his tall, and a look of bewilderment
comes Into his eyes after investigation,
only to find a bit of a slump where he
felt sure the old tall still was attached.

g (g g CURES
tS). 2e MALARIA
Malaria is due to impurities in the blood which destroy the rich,
healthful qualities of the circulation, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid.
The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and is
unable to resist the countless disorders that assail it, and the general system
suffers in consequence. The appetite fails, digestion i3 weakened, chills
and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses energy and ambition.
Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and' ulcers follow when the
blood becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic
and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for
this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers and at the same time
an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation,
and removes every trace of imparity or poison, and gives to the blood the
health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per
manently because it removes from the blood the germs and poisons which
produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every
part of the system. Book with information about Malaria and any medical
advice furnished free to all who write.
