Joseph Supple, who owns a shipyard on East Water street between East Morrison and East Yamhill, wants East Water made SO feet wide between East Morrison street and Hawthorne avenue. It 19 not a new project, but so far has not succeeded. The street is $0 feet wide, and some per manent buildings have already been built on the east side of the street. It would be necessary to take 30 feet from the property on the west side next to the river. Mr. Supple says that as the river blocks are long blocks and extend soma distance out Into the river, this strip can be taken from that side of the street very easily, and the property on the east aide could be assessed the value of 10 .feet of the property taken, which he considers would be fair. Mr. Supple has been a persistent advocate of a wide avenue for East Water for a number of years, and the proceedings were carried forward nearly to a successful end on his initia tive, but failed because of the opposition of one or two property owners. He calls attention to the present heavy traffic along East Water street, -which will be Increased as the warehouse district fills up. "We shall have a narrow alley," he said, "to transact the business of this whole district. There is a car track on the street now, and it has some side spurs, which take up most of the street. There will be manufacturing concerns and wholesale houses erected along this street, and it will become more crowded every year. We can take 30 feet off the west side of the street and it will not hurt anybody. It will give a wide street to do business on. and add to the value of the property on botji sides. In Seattle they cut down brick buildings to make wide streets. We shall have SOO.OlO people in a few years. Central East Portland along the "river will fill up. and if we don't make East Water an SO-foot street now we will have cause to "regret It In the future, when It wijl be hard to widen It." PINCHOTSENDSREGRETS CHIEF FORKSTEU - VXABLE TO ATTEND SESSION" HERE. Society for the Promotion of Agri cultural Science Opens 30th Annual Convention. Aside from the disappointment occa sioned by the failure of Gifford Plnchot. Chief Forester of the United States, to he present, the opening session of the. Society for the Promotion of Agricultural Science held In the parlors of the Port land Hotel yesterday was altogether a success. Mr. Plnchot. chief opponent of Richard A. Ballinger. known for the occasion on the official programmes as Doctor Pln chot. telegraphed his regrets at the last moment and went to Denver to attend a session of the Trans-Misslsslppt Congress convening in that city. A paper covering "The Relation of the United States t Forestry." the subject assigned him, was read by Professor Knapp. District Forecaster, of Portland. At the evening session, presided over by Dr. T. F. Hunt, of the State College of Pennsylvania, the annual election of officers was held, which resulted in the choice of Professor a M. Tracy, of Bo lixi, Mlfs., as president, and the re-election of Professor F. W. Rane, State For ester of Massachusetts, as secretary treasurer. The new directors chosen were: W. H. Jordan, of the New York State Experimental Station: Eugene Davenport, of the Illinois Experimental Statlon, and Dr. H. P. Armsby. The annual address was delivered by President Hunt, his subject being "Co ordination in the Promotion of Agricul ture." and Prof. W. P. Headden, of the Colorado Experimental Station, also read an Interesting paper on "The Excessive Fixation of Nitrogen." Today a confer ence of professors and other officials of Western agricultural colleges will be held. This is the 13th annual gathering of the organization. It Is purely a scientific gathering, and the papers read are not of especial interest to the general public for the reason that they treat of purely tech nical subjects. About 30 members of the association and quite a number of others interested in the work were present. The morning and afternoon sessions were devoted to the following pro gramme: "Limitations In Field Experiments," Cerealist M. A. Carleton.

The contract will be awarded In St. Paul next Fri day for the construction of the Brew-ster-Orovllle branch of the Great Northern Railway in Okanogan County, Wash. The branch will be 70 miles ions; and will cost $2,000,000 or more to build. The new line will open one of the richest undeveloped sections of Eastern Washington. It will tap the semi-arid district which the Government is re claiming in the Pogue Flat country, in Okanogan County, and will also fur nish transportation for the fruit growers on about 10,000 acres of land which has been Irrigated by private corporations. Eventually the Orovllle-Brewster line will become a part of the Hill system, known In British Columbia as the Vic toria, Vancouver A Eastern, and will furnish an outlet for such traffic as Sir. Hill will, in the years to come, send to Vancouver, where he is con structing deep sea and railway terminals- to cost more than $2,000,000. To the southward the Orovllle-Brewster branch will ultimately be con nected with the main line of the Great Northern at Wenatchee.

Coasst and Rocky Mountain country. The committee also most heartily In dorsed the work for and by women In connection with farmers' institutes. The auditing committee reported the figures of the treasurer correct and found on hand a balance of $745.37. TV.. nnmmitiAA on the rjresident's ad dress particularly commended that por tion in which he empnasizea me nnj.i . . . F h.rlnc the farmers' institute a distinct educational agency insofar as it applies to the Older ana weaitnier ngu cultural states, but believed in the newer and less densely populated states the work can best be done under the direc tion of the various state agricultural col leges. Following a paper by G. A. Putnam, of Toronto. Canada, on the practicability and advisability of holding separate In stitutes for women and of organizing women's clubs, there was considerable animated discussion concerning the place and value of women In institutes and in agricultural work. Woman Holds Key. Said Lewis A. Merrill, of Salt Lake Citv: "The women hold the key to the situation. It remains for us who are in 'tereeted in this movement for farmers' organizations to use every means within our grasp to make the women of the country realize the beauties, the joy, the freedom from restraint and the all-sided development possible. This understand ing is more possible when the farmers and the men and women meet jointly In the institutes. The woman Is the power behind the throne on the farm. "The work of the rural clubs Is con cerned more with eradicating the point of view of many women that housework Is a thing to be gotten rid of as quickly as- possible than with any other phase of the subject." Mies Jennie Burell, of Ann Arbor, Mich., said that the institute sessions In Michigan have done marvelous work for the home. It was the opinion of D. W. Working, of Morgantown. W. Va., that the average woman is a little bit hard to deal with when it comes to telling her how to do her housework. K. L. Butterfleld in his paper on "Co Operation With Other Educational Agencies," discussed the matters of co operation with extension schemes and "agricultural colleges, the final place of the Farmers' Institute and the institute system, and the responsibility for dif ferent kinds of work. He also said, "The agricultural college Is primarily an educa tional Institution, and It therefore be comes the function of the college to teach farmers as well as to teach stu dents who come to college. "The highest form jai co-operation be tween the different Institutions interested In institute work will be the development of the educational work chiefly by the colleges and the public service and police work by the state departments of agri culture." Movable Schools Discussed. D. W. Working. In discussing the move able school question, said the motive of the movable school is not to get student3 for the college but to reach those who cannot or will not attend the short courses at the college. Tho present system of issuing agricul tural bulletins from the colleges of the United States Department of Agriculture was given a rap when C. H. Tuck, of Ithaca, N. Y.. made the statement that nearly one-half of the bulletins distrib uted are wasted. Professor Tuck said: "We have closed and even prejudiced the rnlnd of many of our farmers by send ing to them such a vast amount of agri cultural information on all subjects, re gardless of their particular interests. "Nearly one-half the bulletins distrib uted by the colleges are directly wasted. They find their places in the waste paper basket with a readiness that would do credit to a commercial mail order busi ness." Dr. James Wlthycombe, of the Oregon State Agricultural College, in Sn address drew attention to. the co-operative field of usefulness of demonstration trains. He said in part: "This Is an age of specialization. Not only are individual farmers becoming specialists, but farming communities are rapidly being characterized for special production. Agriculture being a strictly progressive vocation, is constantly con fronted with new problems. It matters not how well farmers may be succeeding, there are always questions upon which Information Is greatly desired. To meet occasionally and discuss these various problems is good, but opportunity for practical demonstration is better. Thus if it be at all feasible to maintain co-operative demonstration work along the dominant lines of production in the vari ous sections, it would be of inestimable value. This work could be conducted at accessible points in the different locali ties and form the base for practical agri cultural demonstration. The fact that farmers can without much effort see the things in which they are greatly interest ed will have a far greater significance than they could simply hear without see ing them, as is the case In the ordinary lecture." A pleasing event of the afternoon ses sion was a musical selection rendered by a glee club representing the Worcester, Mass., Board of Trade. ANOTHER CONVENTION TODAY Agricultural College and Experi ment Station Men to Meet. The 23d annual convention of the Asso ciation of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations will convene to day at 10 o'clock and will continue through tomorrow and Friday.

Kerr, of the Oregon Agricultural College, will preside in his place. In place of the presidents annual ad dress, which is scheduled for tonight, there' will be an address by Dean L. H. Bailv, of Cornell University, on the sub ject. "The Better Preparation of Men; for College and Station Work." Dr. David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University, will come from Seattle this afternoon and is expected to be present during the remain ing sessions of the convention. Some of the Important issues which will come up are the matter of develop ment of agricultural education in second ary schools and the question of the con serration of natural resources.

NO REDUCTION IN BAIL In Spite of Arguments of Lawyers, Younjr Broker Tells Court Noth ing of "Men Higher Vp," as Anticipated. NEW YORK. Aug. 17. Donald L. Persch. the young note broker, indicted for grand larceny for selling mining stock belonging to F. Augustus Heinze, went back to the Tombs today, accused by District Attorney Jerome of being the manipulator of a "simple vulgar steal." Although urged to reveal the "man higher up" and the intricate ramifications In high finance which Persch has sug gested from time to time, he failed ut terly to say anything to convince Mr. Jerome that there was any conspiracy. Persch was charged with the larceny of JUiO.OOO worth of stock, which he is alleged to have procured from the Wind sor Trust Company, where it' was placed In good faith iy A. M. Joyce, acting for Mr. Heinze, as collateral for a $50,000 loan. The young man't attorney insisted that Perch had been victimized by wiser and bigger men, but his client refused to make any statement which would bear this out. The court refused to reduce bail from $50,000 and the prisoner entered no plea, the case going over to Monday. Mr. Jerome told the court that from what he had ascertained the Windsor Trust Company was in no way responsi ble. The release of the securities to Persch. he said, was due enteirely to tho act of an employe. WORCESTER PARTY OFF BOARD ' OF TRADE EXCURSION DISBANDS AFTER VISIT.

The .Worcester Glee Club, represented by R5 of the guests, sang; several selec tions throughout the day. Everv member of the party was loud in praise of the West and the beauty of Portland. James tL Powers, representative- of the Worcester Evening Gazette, said: "ISvery one of our party is astonished with the West. We never had any con ception of the vastness of this rugged and charming country. Portland is un doubtedly the most beautiful city we have had occasion to visit.
