CIXnT, LITTLE RArN, 18 TO
DAY'S FORECAST."
Threatening weather, cloudy but
without much rain, la the official
prediction Issued by District Fore
caster Beals for today. The chances
that rain will dampen the celebra
tion outlined In honor of President
Taft are slight. The special fore
cast for today as Issued by Mr. Beals,
follows:
"Portland is near the northern
boundary of a rainy area which Is
central over Northern California and
drifting very slowly eastward. In
the last 14 hours moderately heavy
rains fell in the Sacramento Valley
and In. Southern Oregon but none of
consequenoe feU in tha Willamette
Valley.
"The proximity of this rain area,
however, causes cloudy weather in
this vicinity and the Indications are
that it will last another day and
that Saturday, while cloudy and
threatening a good part of the time
will be a day without much rain."
Elaborate plans have been made by
Chief of Police Cox that every member
of the Police Department may lend every
effort toward the safety of President
Taft's party in the two days' of its visit
to Portland. All the men on the force
will be required to do extra duty, and,
aside from the details made to police the
streets at every public appearanoe, tha
department, us a whole, has been in
structed to keep a sharp lookout for un
desirables who are euro to be among the
throngs.
Drees coats and white gloves with
either military or turndown collars and
black ties have been ordered for the
department. Acting upon the suggestion
of John W. Wilkle, Chief of the Secret
Service the local police have been in
structed on all occasions to face the
crowds instead of the President. As the
President well understands the necessity
of this arrangement no discourtesy will
be felt by him.
The Municipal Court will be held at 8:30
o'clock this morning, instead of the usual
hour, and, that policemen who have made
arrests which would require their pres
ence in court may be excused, they have
been instructed to write out full reports
of each case and leave them with their
captain at the time of the arrest.
Instructions have been issued to keep
the streets entirely clear along the lines
of march for the President's parades, and
vehicles and streetcars will not be al
lowed on the streets where the Executive
party passes. In connection with the pa
rades. Captain Moore will have charge of
a company of 26 men to head the line of
march. Captain Bailey will . superintend
policing of the streets. Captain Slover will
remain in charge of police headquarters,
and Captain Baty will direct the move
ments of the detective staff, whose duty
it will be to safeguard the public, prin
cipally from pickpockets.
For the entry of President Taft Into
the city, seemingly no precaution has

SPOKANE! Wash., Oct. 1. (Special.)
"Within three weeks petitions will be
started calling for a local option election
for the unincorporated portion of Spokane.
County and before Christmas this county
will have gone dry 2 to 1." says District
Superintendent Lewis R. Horton, of the
Anti-Saloon League. "In order to secure
an election we must have petitions signed
by at least 30 per cent of the qualified
voters. The election will be held before
Christmas.
"Between now and Christmas S4 towns
in the State of Washington will vote on
the local option issue, according to
present figures, and it will swell to 50
towns in the near future. About half of
this number are on the east side. Stevens
County will undoubtedly go dry on No

size of the majority.
"There will be a big fight on in Daven
port December 21. There Is a political
hotbed there, with the politicians inclined
to the dry side. The tendency of the
campaign in this county is along busi
ness lines."
RIVALS BLOW QPEN SAFE
Water Users' Association Records
Are Taken by Force.
PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 1. (Special.)
The fight in the Umatilla Water Users'
Association was brought to a climax last
evening, according to reports received
from Hermiston today. The trouble has
been between the so-called "old" and
"new" boards, and while F. A. Yatee,
secretary of the old board, was in Pen
dleton, in answer to a summons requir
ing him to appear and show why he was
not in contempt of court for failing to
turn over the records and "peal of the apso-
clation to George Upthegrove, the new
secretary, members of the new board
broke Into Yates' office, dynamited the
safe and took the records and seal.
That this will lead to further suits and
more litigation Is inevitable, though no
legal steps have been taken as yet. The
controversy between the rival boards of
managers dates from the annual meeting
last January, which broke up In a quar
rel and resulted in the selection of two
boards. So far the "new" board hae been
successful in the courts, though the "old"
board has appealed from every decision
and is still fighting.
