GIRL WIFE I!) BAD PLOT
DROPS TOM EXHAUSTION" IN"
SEAltClI FOR "WORK.
Mrs. Idenln White, Deserted by Her
Husband, AVander9 Through
Streets Until Nearly Icad.
Hear)', hniyjry and heart-broken after
a vain search for work to relieve the
destitution occasioned by the desertion of
her husband. Mrs. Idenla White. 17-year-old
bride of six weeks, wandered into a
squalid hallway In Front street yester
day afternoon, and fell unconscious to the
floor.
ilrs. White was found there an hour
later by Patrolman. Llllis. who ordered
an ambulance and caused her removal to
St. Vincent's Hospital, where she is said
to be In a precarious condition. Since
Monday mornins she had gone from
house to house through the streets of
Portland in a vain and forlorn hope of
securing employment.
As soon as she was discovered by the
officer In the hallway at 1111 Front
street, a physician was summoned and
she was resuscitated. Brokenly between
sobs and with an apparent desire to
shield her husband, she told a pitiful
story to the officer who has succeeded
In corroborating it In many details.
Prosecutions will likely follow.
The girl came to Portland from a little
town up the river last April. She se
cured employment, but in a few weeks
was compelled to leave the place and
remain In the hospital for a month or
more. In that way she became known
at St. Vincent's, and It was only through
officials at the hospital that Patrolman
Llllis learned the girl's name, for she
persistently refused to divulge It.
After her recovery. -Mrs. White secured
other employment and worked steadily
until six weeks ago, when she was in
duced to marry the man who Is now ac
cused of deserting her. She had saved
a small sum when she married him. But
that was soon dissipated. They lived at
Second and Clay streets.
Last week the husband announced his
determination to go to San Francisco.
He told his child wife to go to the home
of his relatives In East Portland and re
main until his return. She went, accord
ing to her story, and waa driven away.
They had no place for her, they said, and
refused to tolerate her presence.
Monday morning she started out in
search of work. She continued the
search all day and far Into the night.
"Afraid of arrest If seen upon the streets
lata at night, she. says, she wandered
about the residence districts where she
knew there would be less likelihood of
meeting a policeman.
She resumed the search yesterday
morning and grew weak and faint. But
Bhe continued the search until noon yes
terday, when she drew herself into the
Front-street hallway, where she col
lapsed. ,

PARK NEAR STEEL BRIDGE
MONTGOMERY ESTATE CONSID
ERED IDEAL SITE.
Menefce Will Introduce Ordinance
- Authorizing Condemnation
Proceedings.
Councilman Menefee will Introduce
an ordinance before the City Council,
at Its special session this morning, au
thorizing City Attorney Kavanaugh to
sign condemnation proceedings to se
cure the 23-acre tract of land known
as the Montgomery estate Just north
of the Steel Bridge, said to be valued
at tioo.000. Mr. Menefee believes
It would make one of the prettiest
parks In Portland, and will therefore
strive to have It taken over for that
purpose.
The tract Is bounded on the south
by Goldsmith street; on the north by
Page street; on the east by Ganten
beln avenue and on the west by Ross
street. Portions of It are located with
in one block of the Willamette River,
and are most picturesque. If acquired
for a park, it would serve one of the
largest districts In the city. It Is ex
plained, and it is said that Mr. Menefee
will have great support from, the peo
ple all over the. section Interested in
his effort to have It taken over.
The primary object of the special
session of the Council this morning
Is to authorize City Attorney Kava
naugh to begin condemnation proceed
ings in the matter of the site recom
mended by the Park Board for a park
to Sellwood. City Engineer Taylor has
completed the lines for the description,
of the property, and it is thought the
Council will Instruct Mr. Kavanaugh
to proceed In the courts to condemn
the property. It was originally or
dered purchased by an ordinance, but
Mayor Lane became suspicious of the
price to be paid and vetoed the meas
ure, so that It is now up for condemnation.
the tract down to the Willamette River,
where there would be room for dockage
and a bathhouse. Objection to this park
site Is on the ground that It is not in
cluded in the Olmsted plan, is off the
boulevard that has been marked out, and
outside the county and the city, while the
Morehouse tract is part of the Olmsted
plan, and is on the proposed boulevard.
However, the proposal to buy the golf
links tract has been set before the Mayor
and Park Board, and there is a possi
bility that It may be considered.
Would Buy Golf Links.
L. J. Hicks and other residents of
Sellwood are urging the purchase of
a park in the Go.f Links tract,
in preference to the Morehouse tract.
They announce that 25 acres of the
golf links, between the Oregon City
electric railway and the county road and
south of Sellwood. could be had for J2000
an acre. In addition to this they an
nounce that a strip of land 200 feet wide
can be secured along the north side of
Insists on Small Parks.
Councilman A. N. Wills declares
that what the city and particularly
the East Side, wants Is not large
but small park tracts, scattered where
they may be easily reached by the
people. He said yesterday that this plan
has met with the approval of the people
In all portions of the city. He said that
they are opposed to the purchase of large
tracts, whereby the $1,000,000 appropriated
for parks will be spent in a few places.
Councilman Wills said further: "A few
places would receive the benefit of this
park money, if we spend It all on a few
big tracts. That would be all wrong.
Tracts of 10 and 25 acres would afford
the best park facilities for the city and
would be fair to all sections. I shall vote
against the purchase of large tracts and
shall Insist that we provide small parks
for the people."

McAllister Reviews Fish Situation
and Reports on Recent Confer
ence on legislation at Seattle.
Master Fish Warden McAllister in
his report to the Board of Fish Com
missioners asks, for an appropriation
of J20.000 for the maintenance and op
eration of the Coast stream fisheries,
and another for $15,000 to build and
equip a central hatchery station on the
Columbia River.
Mr. McAllister reportes that citizens
of the state leave It to him to look
after their interests in the matter of
the fish industry and that without
these appropriations the hatcheries
must be closed. He said that if the
work done so far is discontinued, the
whole business built up In the indus
try will be lost. He advocates the es
tablishment of a general hatchery be
low all irrigating ditches and power
wheels on the Columbia.
In reference to the conference of
Washington and Oregon legislative
committees, which he attended, he
jrlves a detailed account of the find
ings of the conference, already print
ed In The Oregonian.
Mr. McAllister says In his report:
The closed season dates adopted do not
conform with my recommendations, inas
much as the Fall close was left as for
merly, which I nrmly believe is a mis
take However, the Sunday close of 4
hours will offset this to a certain extent,

getting a greater amount of spawn at our
hatcheries.
In regard to the appropriations
asked. Mr. McAllister says:
I respectfully call your attention to two
bills I have had Introduced in the Senate.
In one I am asking Xor an appropriation
of $20,000 for the operation and mainte
nance of coast stream hatcheries; the other
for $15,000 to build and equip a central
hatchery station on the Columbia River.
Both of these bills should pass, and I trust
you. as the Board of Klsh commissioners,
will use your Influence to that end.
The citizens of this state who live on
our coast streams, from the California line
to the mouth of the Columbia River, are
asking nothing of the state, excepting the
above mentioned appropriation for salmon
hatcheries, and are depending- on me. in a
measure, to look after their interests. They
realize that without the appropriation the
hatcheries must of necessity be closed, as
the revenue derived from the Issuance of
licenses on these streams Is not sufficient
thom. As wu are wen awar.
the results of our hatchery work on these
streams are just bearing fruit, and if dis
continued at this time would all be lost
and hundreds of our best citizens be de
prived of a livelihood.
