Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. The
I petition vu filed wnn ncno.u " ,.,
I lust before noon yesterday and will
.probably receive the attention of the
School Directors at their regular meeting,
to be held next Monday afternoon at 4
o'clock. . ...
Believing it Inadvisable to proceed with
the construction of the proposed High
School building on the block named, which
was recently purohaswl for the purpose by
the Board of Education, prominent resi
dents and property-owners living in that
vicinity immediately voiced their protest
against the action. However, before the
purchase became known there had been
no opportunity to remonstrate, the deal
having been made In executive session.
The purchase was first known when it was
published in The Oregonlan. It was then
too late to make protest against the buy
ing of the ground, and an appeal was di
rected to the members of the board, in
an effort to persuade them to reconsider
the action. The filing of the petition yes
terday morning to the first official action
of those opposed to the purchase.
The petition Is as follows:
Text of Petition.
To th Honorable fchool Board of the
City of Portland: The undersigned, property
holder snd residents In the neighborhood of
Mock No 167. In Couch's Addition, would
respectfully request you to reconsider your
declalon to locate a hiirh school on said
around. We in of the opinion. In the nrt
place that there Is no necessity for the
removal of the HlRh School from Its pres
ent location, and. so far as we are able to
Judge, this is the prevailing public opinion.
The peopla residing In the vicinity around
block 167 are of the opinion that the loca
tion of the High School in said block would
not onlr be exceedingly disagreeable to
them, but prejudicial to their Interests and
would essentially depreciate the value of
their property.
We understand, that the block 1B7 can
b sold for as much or more than the
School Board hss paid, or agreed to pay for
It. We hope that the School Board will
give this matter its careful attention, and
if consistent with Its puhllc duties, allow
the High School to remain in Its present
location.

Why Change Is Opposed.
A large amount of very valuable prop
erty Is represented In the petition, as
shown by the number of lots Included In
the list of signatures, and It is believed
that this showing will make a deep Im
pression upon the members of the Board
of Education. The principal reasons ad
vanced by the petitioners are that there
is no good cause for removing the High
School from Its present location on the
block "bounded by Morrison, Alder, Four
teenth and Lownsdale streets: that the
lot Just purchased is too close to the rapidly-growing
business section of the city
and that the placing of a school building
on the grounB would depreciate the value
of the surrounding property.
"There Is no good reason for moving
the West Side High School from Its pres
ent location to the lot. recently purchased
by the Board of Education." said Cecil
H. Bauer, one of the petitioners. "The
High School has been well-established on
the present location, and I consider that
It is unwise to move It. And again, if
it la wise to move It at all, it is cer
tain that to move it but three or four
blocks Is not good Judgment. The move
would prove very detrimental to property
in the Vicinity. The old site Is good
enough and could be used to good ad
vantage. There is no occasion for a
change."
"The site selected by the members of
the School Board Is not far enough away
from the business section of the city to
prove beneficial as a change in locations.
If a change is at all desirable," said Don
ald McKay, another of the petitioners.
"It Is so near the business district, which
is rapidly growing westward, that It is
certain to be a poor place for a High
School building. It seems to me It would
be better to sell the lot recently bought
by the board, and with the proceeds pur-
chase another piece of ground, probably
a double block, further out. If It is neces-
1 sary to change the location from the
present site."

Truck No. 5, Portland Fire Department,
has been recommended for dismissal

J. Hand, manager of the creamery, had
, been missing cream for some time, and
decided to set a watch. He did so. with
the result that Lindloff was caught as
he was leaving the premises with two
pints of cream. His act was reported to
the captain of the truck company, who
preferred a charge f violation of a rule
of the department forbidding firemen to
venture more than 100 feet from their
station when on duty. In the course of
the investigation the theft was made
known to Chief Campbell, who at once
recommended the dismissal of Lindloff.

PLAN TO ENLARGE
PORTLAND HARBOR
Port Commission Considers
Project to Dredge Great
Basin for Ships.
COST WOULD BE MILLIONS
Engineer Lock wood Proposes Cause
way 750 Feet Wide and Two
Miles Long, Providing for Im
mense System of Docks.
J. B. C. Lockwood's plan to build a
causeway from the upper end of Swan
Island to the east bank of the river and
dredge out a basin for the accommoda
tion of ships, was taken up et the meet
ing of the Port of Portland Commission
yesterday. The matter was considered too
extensive for immediate discussion. It
will be taken up at a later meeting.
Engineer Lockwood's plan involves the
expenditure of several million dollars and
the dredging of a basin 760 feet wide and
two miles long. It would result in making
the Portland harbor one of the best in
the entire country. On either side of
the main basin, slips would be built, pro
viding space for an Immense system of
docks and wharves.
Will Eliminate Sharp Turn.
If the project is carried- out, the ship
channel will lie to the west of Swan
Island, doing away with the present sharp
turn in the river channel just below the
island and the width will be Increased
from 1000 feet to 1400 feet. Sufficient
dredging will be done, it is planned, to
make the depth of the channel and basin
30 feet even at tho lowest stage of the
-The scheme includes the dredging out
and deepening of Guilds Lake so that It,
too, could accommodate a large num
ber of seagoing vessels. . A channel Into
that portion of the harbor would be
dredged from the main ship channel near
the head of Swan Island.
It is planned in this way to add ten
miles to tho present waterfront of Port
land's harbor. Two large basins for the
safe anchorage of ships would thus be
provided, besides immense additions made
to the present wharf and dockage facili
ties of this port.
Provide for Port's Future.
It has been realized for some time that
some such step Is even now necessary to
provide for the extension of Portland's
shipping and must be made soon if the
commerce of the port is to increase in
proportion to the possibilities of the city
as a shipping center. The Port of Port
land Commission esked Engineer Lock
wood to look up some method of increas
ing the facilities for shipping at this port
and the huge project Just outlined was
the result of the engineer's Investiga
tion. The recent step of the Commissioners of
the port Jn taking up the pilotage and
towage service to the sea has shown the
disposition to increase the facilities for
shipping here and every advantage la
desired to Increase the city's commerce.
Engineer Lockwood is an enthuslastlo
supporter of his harbor plans as outlined
for converting the lower harbor into a
large and commodious anchorage grounds
for shipping. He said:
"I know of no shipping port which
would have better harbor facilities than
Portland, if my suggestions are carried
out. Everybody knows that additional
space for the mooring of ships and for
the building of docks is needed. To take
care of the ships coming here this year,
Portland shippers will be at a loss to
handle them to the best advantage, due
to the limited dock space and mooring
grounds in the harbor at present."
May Sell 9500,000 Bonds.
The board' was also authorized to sell
bonds to the amount of $500,000 to carry
out any project that is deemed impera
tive. It is supposed that part of this sum
may be used in meeting the first expense
of building a bigger and better harbor out
of the portion of the river , below the
Steel bridge.
Alterations to the dredge Portland, cost
ing $"JO,000 wer authorized. Its capacity
will be increased and new boilers will be
placed in her, plans and specifications will
be prepared immediately and it is ex
pected that the work will be under way
by January.
New rules and regulations for the Gov
ernment of the drydock were adopted.
The rules, were purely for the govern
ment of the dock and do not affect the
rates in any way.
The Commission decided to publish a
pamphlet which will contain a large
amount of reading matter pertaining to
the Port of Portland. Copy for the
pamphlet has been prepared and ac
cepted. Bills were audited and ordered
paid.
FIRE CHIEF TO HAVE AUTO
MACHINE ORDERED BY EXECU
TIVE BOARD COMMITTEE.
Pierce Great Arrow Will Take Camp
bell to Conflagrations and
Inspection Trips.
If you should tee a man In a blue uni
form and brass buttons, seated in an au
tomobile and racing through the city
streets at a gait something like 60 miles
an hour, don't think he's a "scorcher;"
it's merely Chief Campbell, bound for a
big fire, in the 1909 model, six-cylinder
Pierce-Arrow machine, ordered yester
day afternoon by the Are committee of
the Executive Board for the purpose.
After considering bids for many weeks
and readvertislng once, Mayor Lane and
the members of the committee decided
that It would be well to award the con
tract and end the agony first as last, and
so at the meeting yesterday afternoon
they recommended the purchase of the
Pierce-Arrow machine, the price quoted
being $3500 and the automobile to be de
livered in tip-top shape, fully equipped.
There is to be a stipulation in the con
tract between H. M. Covey, Portland
agent for the Pierce-Arrow automobiles,
and the City of Portland, that the city
need not accept the machine if any de
fects whatever or any unsatisfactory fea
tures are discovered when it arrives.
The machine being a 1903 model, will not
be delivered for 60 days, or perhaps a
little more than that, but when It gets
here Chief Campbell will be delighted,
for it has been the great desire of his
heart for months to have an automobile
In which to run to and from fires and in'
making trips of inspection throughout the
city. His duties make it necessary for
him to travel about a great deal, in order
to be fully informed on the growth of
the city in all directions, and to keep in
touch with the various districts.
Purchasing . an automobile is a very
difficult matter, according to Mayor Lane,
and the members of the fire committee.
upon whom devolved the duty of making
a selectiop. There are so many features
to an automobile and so many pieces of
machinery of an amazing kind, that the
members of the committee were some
what bewildered, but they expressed the
belief after the contract was let that
they got a good machine fer the money,
and they fully expect that It will be a
source of much pride to the whole city
when It is put in operation. Chief Camp
bell expressed himself as pleased with
the selection.
NO WILD WEST PARADE
Buffalo Bill Will Not Give Street Pa
geant When He Visits This City.
For many reasons the management
of Buffalo Bill's Wild West has decided
to abandon the street parade which has
in years past been the usual thing with
traveling organizations of this size
and character. It is set forth that in
ELECTED CAPTAIN OF COMPAJTT

MaaCtirwiiiin
L. E. Crouch.
L. E. Crouch, who was elected
captain of Company F. O. N. G., at
a meeting- In the Armory Wednesday
night, was born In Steckbrldse, Wis.,
and came to Oreson in 1902. Later
he entered the law school of the
University of Oregon, graduating- In
1002. He has since been a practicing-
attorney in this city.
Captain Crouch's connection with
the National Guard began in April,
1902. as a private in Company F.
Six months later he was appointed
a corporal and after a similar period
was appointed first sergeant of Com
pany F, which position he held until
the expiration of his enlistment. A
short time afterward he. re-enllsted
in the Guard and was chosen battal
ion adjutant, with rank of first lieu
tenant, under Colonel Gantenbeln.
Upon the death of Captain Gould of
Company F, Captain Crouch was
chosen first lieutenant, which rank
he held until his promotion to the
captaincy. Captain Crouch is a
prominent member of Ivanhoe
Lodge, No. 1, Knights of Pythias.
many instances the late arrival of the
rains bearing the paraphernalia makes
t Impossible to give a parade and start
he afternoon performance on time.
Through these delays the public is com
pelled to experience a tedious wait,
while the work of preparing for the
performance goes on. Again it is
considered an unnecessary hardship to
compel men and horses to parade for
two hours before beginning the after
noon exhibition, especially when it is
considered that two shows every day
are the rule with Buffalo Bill's exhi
bition. By doing away with the street
pageant men and horses are fresh for
their performance and it would seem
that the public Is entitled to a perfect
performance, which it pays for, rather
than to a free street parade which
gives, at best, but a poor idea of the
magnitude of the Wild West exhibition.
Finds 47 Varieties of
Poisons
Food Commissioner J. W. Bailey
Examines Samples, of Fruit Pre
served for Exhibition Purposes.
SOMEBODY has been having fun with
the State Food Commissioner. Not
many days ago, J. W. Bailey, the
man who makes the acid tests to find
out how many different kinds of poison
there are in the various food products
sold to an unsuspecting public, received
samples of fruit preserved by an upstate
cannery. The person submitting the speci
mens wanted to know it they were free
from deleterious substances.
Mr. Bailey put the samples through his
laboratory and found about 67 varieties
of poisons. He started proceedings that
would have resulted in the prosecution of
the canners if they had not been stopped.
It was found by Mr. Bailey that the fruit
had been put up for exhibition purposes
and was never Intended to be placed on
the market for public consumption.

"There's a Reason"
SMALL FARMS PB
Director of Agricultural Col
lege Addresses Grange.
OPENING FOR FORTUNE
Tillers of the Soil In Oregon Kapldly
Coming; Into Their Own
Through Judicious Hand
ling of Crops.
Dr. James Wlthycombe, director of
the State Agricultural College, was the
principal speaker at the Russellville
Grange Institute yesterday, his tppic
being "The Value of Small Farms." He
said, in part:
The farmers of Oregon are certainly
coming Into their own. This has been
largely brought about through organisation,
the Grange being the most potent factor.
Not only has the Grangs been greatly help
ful In the social uplift of the farmer and
his family, but it has also proved to be of
great educations! value for the more -economical
production of farm commodities
and for their distribution.
Farming at the present time is entirely
different from what characterised the farm
ing of our forefathers. Brawn Is no longer
at a premium on the farm. It is skill In
the art and science of the farm that wins
Instead of hard labor. Of course, the farm
will always demand labor from the farmer,
but it Is the labor from the skilled hand
directed by the trained mind that will best
succeed.
Agriculture First Asset.
Our state is wonderfully blessed with nat
ural resources, but the greatest of all is
agriculture. It is the farms that will build
our cities, and the greatest need Is more
farms and more good farmers. The large
farm does not contribute the maximum pro
duction. It Is the small farms, intelli
gently cultivated from which maximum
crops will be produced. This, to my mind,
Is the greatest economic problem confront
ing our state at this time.
Many schemes have been promulgated for
the subdivision of our large farms, and
many are too radical. Those who have
honestly obtained large holdings are by
the rights of equity entitled to retain them.
Discriminating taxation against the large
holder Is vicious In principle and should
not be recognized. The reform must be
largely brought about through 'mutual good
will and co-operation. When a large pro
portion of our farmers fully realize the
potentiality of our soli and learn the pos
sibility of production from a few acres
well tilled, ' land values will rise to such
an extent that the owners of large, poorly
tilled farms cannot afford to hold them and
meet their legitimate assessments for local
and state purposes. This condition will
solve the problem of subdivision of our
farms.
Chance for Small Farmer.
Conditions are ideal for the small farmer
over a large area of our state. In this
particular section you are exceptionally for
tunate in having fertile soil at the very
gateway of the best market on the Coast.
However, distance will not count for so
much in the future. The trolley line is
constantly bringing distant farms into
closer competition with your own farms.
The race for success will rest In the skill
for production. F'ducation of the right
class is going to count on the farm In the
future to a degree that it has never
reached heretofore.
In conclusion permit me to congratulate
you upon the excellent progress you are
making In this community. Tour well
tllled farms and nicely-kept homes reflect
good citizenship and a high standard of
civilization.
Facts About Pioneers.
George H. Himes, secretary of the
Oregon Historical Society, made a short
address upon historical subjects, large
ly pertaining to pioneers from other
states who have become prominent in
Oregon. He gave definitions and mean
ings of many Indian words, which have
become names of Northwestern towns,
mountains and rivers, and recounted
many instances of pioneer deeds of en
durance and heroism in building up this
section of the country.
The programme, given by local talent
was excellent, and the meals furnished
by the ladies of Russellville Grange
were thoroughly enjoyed.
Today's programme includes an ad
dress by Austin T. Buxton, master of
the Oregon State Grange; J. J. John
son, state lecturer, and J. N. Ferrin,
president of Pacific University at For
