NEW ROAD IS DONE
Streetcars Begin to Run on
Line to Kenton.
STOCKYARDS OPEN NOW
First Consignment of Cattle Is Vn
loaded at Srw Swift Plant, bnt
Formal Ceremonies Will Come
t Completion of Abattoir.
Yesterday the Kenton Traction Com
pany' line was formally opened and
Portland persons can now reach the stock
yards and the Bvrift packing plant by
streetcar.
' The new line, which is about two miles
long;, connects with the Mlasisstppl-ave-nue
line at the city limits at Killings
worth avenue. An additional 6-cent fare
is charged on the new road, making- the
cost of transportation 10 cents to Ken
ton and the industrial plants there.
A li-mlnute service- was operated yes
terday on the new road but the schedule'
will be reduced probably to ten mlnutea
and perhaps to the same schedule that
is now operated on the city line, or a
car every seven and one-half minutes.
The management of the new line states
that the Kenton road will be extended
soon to the Monarch mill, thus serving
practically all the new industries on the
Peninsula.
It is believed the new road will spring
rapidly Into favor on account of the
opening of the stockyards and the forth
coming operation of the . big packing
plant, and the other Industrie that are
under construction in that vicinity.
Today will mark the formal opening of
the new stockyards. This Institution is
a pablic one. In - fact an open market.
There stockmen may meet and purchase,
sell or trade stock. The institution, while
not the largest, is said to be the most
rompleta In the country. Every modern
' improvement devlsod for stockyards has
bean incorporated In the plan of the new
yards.
Yesterday the first stock, consisting of
ai-raral carloads, was unloaded in the
yard bnt the actual opening for general
business will not take place until
o'clock this morning.
The opening will r.ot be the occasion
of a celebration but it Is likely many per
sons interested in stock will visit the
yards today. When the new packing
plant is opened, which will be In about
two months, it Is planned to appropriate
ly celebrate the occasion. There will be
a sort of brass band observance of the
occasion at that time.
LATERALS WILL BE LAID
Brooklyn District Soon to Be Vslng
New Sewer.
Announcement of the acceptance of the
Brooklyn sewer waa received with satis
faction by that district, and a movement
to lay laterals has been started. In the
Waverly-Richmond territory, between Di
vision and Ellsworth streets, the plan Is
to pu down the laterals as & whole. L.
EL Rice, chairman of the committee in
that section, some time a?o tiled the
necessary petitions for laterals on all
streets, and the laterals will probably
be laid there before others in the sewer
district. For Kenilworth a reinforcing
sewer must be laid from the main con
duit on, East Sixteenth and HoLsrate
streets. It will be laid on Holgate street
to Kenilworth, when the laterals will be
attached to the reinforcing conduit. Pe
titions have been circulated on the streets
east of Milwaukie to Twenty-first, where
sewerage ie specially needed. West of
Milwaukie streets to the Willamette River
no petitions have yet been circulated.
Councilman Rushlight, of the 6eventh
Ward, will have the resolutions passed
by the Council when the petitions have
been submitted. The blank petitions may
be had from the City Auditor. There
was apprehension that there would be
an increase in the cost of terra cotta pipe
in this district, but this has been denied
by the manufacturers.
STEAMER HASSAL0 FROM

HAY POOL IS FEARED
Dealers Thought to Combine
to Hold, Back Crop.
LEADING BUYERS DENY
If Agreement Has Been Reached,
Work Has Been Done Quietly.
About 60 Per Cent of Oregon
Crop Has Left Farmers.
An Impression prevails among haygrow
ers In some parts of the valley that a
pool or combine has been formed among
the dealers of this city to secure control
of a large part of the crop and hold It
from the market for an advance in prices
later. Taking this view of the case, these
farmers are disposed likewise to hold
back their product until later in the sea
son. If any pool has been formed by dealers,
the matter has been kept very quiet. The
leading hay buyers of this city deny
positively that any such combine has
been organised or attempted, and declare
the report to be absurd. They say It
would be no more possible to work a
successful pool in hay than in wheat or
1n any other product that is grown by
every farmer.
It Is said by well-posted hay traders
that fully 60 per cent of the Oregon crop
has already passed out cf first hands,
but they assert this is the usual propor
tion of sales and contracts at this time
of year. The leading handlers of hay,
both wholesalers and retailers, make it a
practice to contract early in the season
a sufficient quantity to cover their year's
requirements, and that is what they have
done this year. The only difference is
that some began contracting earlier this
seafon than usual.
Hay dealers as a rule are not much
given to expressing opinions of the fu
ture of the market and what their pres
ent views are. on this subject cannot be
learned, but outsiders who keep a close
watch on the market believe the outlook
is for higher prices.
A good part of the Willamette Valley
crop was damaged by rains at harvest
time. The crop east of the mountains
is said to be a large one, but whether
it is large enough to-have any effect on
the deficiency in the valley remains to
be seen. Most of tlie valley hay crop is
used on the farms where grown or mar
keted in valley towns and but little of
It reaches Portland. The dealers pro
fess to believe that supplies on the other
side of the Cascades are ample for all
needs there and in this city, yet they
acknowledge that consumption is in
creasing, and there is little doubt that
much more hay will be used In Oregon
this year than last.
Eastern Oregon timothy hay is quoted
now m the Portland wholesale market
around $18 a ton. A year ago today the
quotation was $16.60 a ton, but toward
the closo of last season, the market ad
vanced to $23 a ton and over.
LAND FRAUD IS ALLEGED
F. A. Krlbs and Two Others Are Ac
cused of Conspiracy.
Frederick A. Krlbs, Elbert K. Brown,
alias Alexander R- Brown, and Mrs.
Emma L. Watson are cited as defend
ants in a case in which the Govern
ment is plaintiff, begun before Judge
Bean In the Federal Court yesterday
morning.
In the complaint the Government avers
that the defendants conspired to de
fraud the Government of public lands.
The complaint further alleges that
fraudulent affidavits of proof of home
stead entry and subsequent settlement
were made by fictitious parties.
Through Attorneys Tanner and Gearin,
counsel for the defendants, an effort
will be made to prove that no conspir
acy was participated in by them, but
on the contrary that the lands secured
were regularly and legally filed upon by
Brown and. upon receipt of patent, re
verted to the possession of the other
named defendants.
CHILD EATS LYE AND DIES
Little One Lingers Nearly Tear W ith
Poison Eating Through Vitals.
Chester '.' Manuel Hallock, an infant,
aged 2 years and 4 months, died at 748
Thurman street yesterday as a result of
eating a part of the contents of a can
of lye a year ago. The child, who was
then a creeping infant. Just past his first
birthday, managed to- obtain possession
of a can of lye and ate some of it. A
physician was called, but the slow poison
had already started its work, and little
by little the child became weaker. A
few weeks ago it become almost impos
sible to cause the digestive organs to
work, owing to the fact that the cor-
Tosive had eaten slowly through the
lining of the stomach, with the result
that the child died yesterday as a re
sult of lack of nutrition with corrosive
poisoning as a contributory cause.
The infant is a son of Manuel Hallock,
a carpenter residing at 748 Thurman
street, who works at J67 Jefferson street.
Dr. Walter V. Spencer has been attend
ing the infant for the last few months.
