of taking long walks, but this was the
first time he had been troubled with
lame or blistered feet.
Policeman Patrick Quirk was at
tracted to the youngster as he limped
along the street. The boy gave his
name and said he wished to have his
grandmother, Mrs. Shrady, notified.
The officer took young Gould to the

the story of his adventures. He said
he had been at the Pomfret school for
three months and had become home

up and see him a week ago yesterday,
but when they did not come he con

He went to a 15-cent lodging house.
Young Gould said:

Harvey Mears, a recent arrival from
Shelton, Nob., staggered into police head
quarters at 1 o'clock this morning with
blood flowing profusely from a knife

Sheppard ran 660 yards in 1:211-5 and
700 yards in 1:24 2-6. He ran only one
race 700 yards, but was timed at two
points.
Sheppard's new figure for the 660-yard
run surpassed Lon Myers' record made in
1S82, by three-flfths of a second, while
his time for the 700 yards was a similar
margin faster than the mark made by
Etnil Lunghi last year. Sheppard de

"Tex" Kamsdell, the new intercollegiate
100-yard champion, equalled the record
for the 135-yard dash by covering the
distance in :12 3-5. breaking the tap! two
feet in front of Bob Cloughan.

Be In Interest of Science and
Commerce.
VANCOUVER, B. C, May 3L (Spe
cial.) Some noteworthy details of his
expedition next year to the Hudson's
Bay and Mackenzie River country were
the features of an interview with Sir
Ernest Shackleton, the distinguished
explorer, here today.
bhackleton stated that he would be
gone on this expedition eight months,
his objects being scientific and com
mercial, especially with a view to find
ing new mineral wealth in far Northern
Canada, which has never been trav
ersed by white men.
Several members of his former South
Pole party may accompany Shackle
ton, notably Dr. Douglas Mawson, of
Australia, the expert geologist and
mineralogist, whom the explorer is par
ticularly anxious to Becure.
Shackleton, who Is returning here to
night from his former expedition, will
leave tomorrow for Montreal, whence
he sails June 10 for England, where he

MARINES GREATLY NEEDED
Treachery, Rumor Has It, Caused
Loss of Blueflelds Bluffs.
BL.TJEFIEJLDS, Nic, May 81. General
Lama, commander of the Madriz forces.
again attacked General Estrada's posi
tion yesterday. About 3 o'clock in the
morning he began an assault on Estra
da's left flank with 500 men, but after
hard fighting, in which many were killed
and wounded, the Madriz troops were
forced to retire. Estrada's losses were
light.
About the same time an assault began
on the extreme south flank, but this, too.
failed, with heavy losses to Lara's men.
Estrada succeeded in capturing a large
number of prisoners, who report that
General Lara is convinced it wiil be im
possible to take the entrenchments of
the provisionals.
The port of Blueflelds has been offi
cially claimed by the provisional govern
ment from the bluff to a point three miles
up the Escondldo River and the Custom
House has been officially removed to
the city of Blueflelds. The representa
tives of Madriz, however, who now hold
the bluff, claim the right to stop all ves
sels proceeding in and out of the har
bor to collect duties.
This has complicated the situation and
it is understood a ruling of the American
State Department as to whom duties
shall be paid is awaited.
The Madriz steamer Venus has not
been permitted to bombard the trenches
back of Blueflelds. This would have
necessitated firing over the city. The
United States gunboat Paducah prepared
for action, but the necessity for this did
not rise.
A force of United States marines,
which is greatly needed, is expected to
arrive here soon.
Rumors state the bluffs were lost to
Estrada through treachery and the tak
ing of this strong position by the Madriz
forces has materially lessened Estrada's
chances of success.
TAFT MUST MAKE HIS CHOICE
Conflict at ' Blueflelds Will Compel
Recognition of One Faction.
WASHINGTON. May 31. While the
State Department maintains a com
plete silence on developments around
Blueflelds. it is acknowledged in dip
lomatlc circles that the removing of
the custom-house from Blueflelds bluff
and the announcement of the Madriz
garrison there that the government will
continue to demand payment of duties
has placed this Government in au em
barrassing position.
on trie nrst occasion in which an
American vessel is held up for double
duties the question will be put squarely
up to the Department which of the
combatants is the responsible govern
ment of Nicaragua and entitled to col
lect Import duties. So far, the United
States has avoided recognition of either
side.
THOUSANDS FLOCK
TO OAKS OPENING
Amusement Park Is Scene of
Gay Revelry on First Day
of Season.
MANAGEMENT IS PLEASED
MAD DOG ATTACKS PEOPLE
J cl it ho Eolk Wrought Up by Epi'
demlc Started by Coyotes.
L.EWISTON. Idaho. May 31. A special
from Grangeville tonight says a dog be
longing to M. ri. Morris, of that place,
was stricken with rabies today and, af
ter driving people into their houses, was
killed by Rev. Mr. Hitchcock. The dog
was of the Scotch terrier breed and is
supposed to have been bitten by the hy
drophobic coyotes that invaded the city
yesterday.
The communiity is thrown into greater'
alarm by the illness of Dora. Hamilton,
a 3-year-old girl bitten by a dog at Cot
ton Wood about ten days ago, and after
reaching GrangeviUe was seized with
convulsions and shows every outward
symptom of rabies.
As a result of the situation the Council
of GrangeviUe tonight isssued an order
that all dogs are to be kept tied or muz
zled and officers have been instructed to
kill all dogs found at large unmuzzlea.
It is known the coyotes are afflicted
through the farming section of Central
Idaho, and the people are greatly
alarmed.
Dancing Pavilion, "Shoot the
Chutes," Trained Fleas, "Joy
Wheel" and Other Attractions
Find Favor With Throng.
The Oaks. Portland's adult playground.
the name that conjures up to the aver
age memory scenes of frenzied foolish
ness and frolic, was formally opened yes
terday for the season of 1910. Accord
ing to' the management, and there is no
other authority on the matter, no less
than 28,000 persons helped to make the
first day of the season the biggest suc
cess of the park's existence.
From early in the afternoon until late
at night the place swarmed with people.
Tralnload after trainload of five and six
big open cars each, literally jammed with
people of both sexes and of all ages, of
every grade and condition of life, swung
at a good clip down the roadbed along
the river to where the white, clustered
lights were glowing. Indeed, a stranger
would have thought the Oaks one point
in the intinerary of the Decoration day
programme.
Park In New Dress.
Upon arriving at the deservedly famous
amusement resort, visitors found the
same landmarks of old, in new dress.
There were a fed additions during the
year, but they are not conspicuous, -save
that everyone is impressed with the idea
that the park is better than ever before.
Maybe the Immense crowd is responsible
for this opinion. Then again it may have
resulted from the length of the period
between the closing and the opening
something new in a way. But all the
same such was the impression.
The multitude of electric lights, clus
tered here and there in uniform arrange
ments, seemed to glow with an added
glare; the white buildings appeared
freshly painted and uniform in profile;
the grass was greener and more plentiful;
the shrubbery and flowers were more in
frequent appearance and so on.
Unlike Coney Island and the Oaks of
the older days, the barkers for the var
ious attractions, extolled the merits of
their shows with marked reserve. There
was little of offensive ranting and the
use of slang was conspicuous, as a rule,
by its absence. All of the attractions are
of the wholesome, fun-inspiring kind, be
ing entirely free of vulgarity and even
the near-risque.
Dance Is Popular.
By far the most popular of all the at
tractions last night was the Cedars danc
ing pavilion, the management of which
announces In boxcar letters on the out
side that all objectionable persons will be
ejected,
Down the amusement boulevard, how
ever, was another attraction, simply
labelled with a sign, "Under the Shadow
of the Cross." The patrons were few
and though a man stood in front of the
little cubby-hole and pleaded for patron
age, only a very, few responded. The at
traction is a truly remarkable mechanical
arrangement, termed a phenomenon by
the lecturer inside. It is a painting of
the Messiah by an obscure artist, who
died in a rude garret in a lonely su
burb of the City of Paris, so the story
runs. It was discovered some years later
and in the semi-darkness of the garret
appeared to be a wonderful painting of
Christ bearing the cross. Once in the
light, however, and the cross disappeared.
Now when the light is turned low the
cross is plainly seen with the figure in
silhouette.
At the dancing pavilion scores were
turned away. Inside the devotees of
Terpsichore made merry as the figures
to the strains of the ."Merry Widow"
waltz were .executed.
By far, however, the greater number
seemed to take delight in the -promenade
or sitting on the numerous seats
arranged around the boulevard and
through the park, watching the others
swarm by. Others sat in the seats
arranged in amphitheater fashion
around the bandstand, where Ruzzi's
band dispensed music of the kind the
people love to hear when they are out
to be amused. The applause given the
band after each rendition, in itself em
phasized the success of the new musi
cal organization. Signor Palacios, the
director, made a splendid showing,
without sawing the air with his hands
in a conspicuously vicious manner.
The big new auditorium, which prob
ably will be the finest in Portland when
completed, is now well under course of
construction. The metal lathing for
the plaster is up and the plastering has
commenced. It is an imposing struc
ture, as such buildings go, and will
have a capacity for seating any aud
ience that might be expected to attend
a performance given in it.
A new and novel feature of the Oaks
this year is an automobile, way inside
the grounds and a new garage, where
cars may be stored and looked after
by attendants. A. newly constructed
boardwalk and roadway extends entire
ly around the grounds. Three bear
cubs, a cage of monkeys and an aviary
are among the free new attractions.
Bath-House Not Open.
The bath-house wilt not be opened
until June 8. Neither will be the bar
and grill room. In this latter con
nection it has been thought best to
maintain the bar only as a kind of re
freshment stand, the service tables be
ing entirely in the open.
Among the new and partially inter
esting attractions is that of Professor
Wilhelm Frackes. It. consists of 300
fleas trained to do various stunts, and
ia called the flea circus. All the old
attractions are on hand by a large ma
jority. Including the shoot -the-chutes,
the "Jolly wheel," the merry-go-round,
the figure eight, moving picture the
aters and many others.
"We are mighty well pleased with
the opening," said Manager John F.
Cordray. "The people seemed pleased,
and that makes us feel good. I believe
this will be by far the greatest year
in the history of the Oaks. We have
tried to keep track of the crowds and
are convinced that no less than 28,000
people were here throughout the after
noon and evening.
"I was well pleased, too. with the
class of our patrons. The crowds were
orderly and not one case of hoodlum
ism was reported."
CARUSO AND CANDIDATE
Impossible Aspirant Is "Let Down
Easy" by Great Tenor.
New York Evening Sun.
vvnen Caruso, was ending his recent
American tour, a little Chicago girl was
taken to him by her mother for advice.
"Ah, again somebody come to sing for
Caruso; show her in," the tenor said. The
young girl entered, followed by her moth
er. ioth visitors were "hopelessly com

with the stamp of what is absurdly called
"the lower middle classes."
The girl's father had a friend who was
a friend of Caruso. "She sang and, hav
ing finished, she stood up, flushed and
panting. The great Caruso hung his head,
He had caught a glimpse of eyes with ap
pealing hopefulness, and he dared not
speak the truth." The silence began to
De palntul.
"Yes. you sing sweetly, you have
voice, he said gently, at last. "But of
voices like yours there are many. Time
may change it. But it is not necessarv
that you sing such songs, nor do you go
to Paris" yet this year. Stay here and
practice much on the piano. -Sing often
the exercises. Sing, 'Ah, Ah, Ah!" It is
so that Caruso began, you need not be
ashamed. But your mother spend not
much money yet. Sing "Ah.' for two
years, and then, perhaps, I come again,
or some other who will tell you if it is
Dest you go away to study."
After the door had closed upon the vis
itors, Caruso, shrugging his shoulders.
turned and said: "Tomorrow I must
write her mother truth! It is not good
that she throw away money. Ah la la!
but life is sad."

Tilled Worn-out
Dishes
Dishes and pots and pans get tired and worn out when they
get dirty, greasy and sticky. They need a thorough cleansing to
put new life into them. Soap will not cleanse them below the
surface, and besides leaves them with a "soapy" smell that is
anything but appetizing. ,
Gold Dust is the real doctor for tired dishes. Gold Dust
makes dish-water that digs gets under the surface and searches
out every hidden particle of dirt and germ that ordinary dish-water
overlooks. Gold Dust not only cleanses it sterilizes.
Besides, Gold Dust will cut your dish-washing time right in
two, and give you that much more leisure.

Do not use Soap, Naphtha, Borax, Soda, Ammonia or
Kerosene with Cold Dust. Cold Dust has all desirable
cleansing qualities in a perfectly harmless and lasting
form. The Cold Dust Twins need no outside help.

POWDER
Has been set by the jury of awards at the World's Fair
1909 when CRESCENT BAKING POWDER received
the HIGHEST AWARD
Because this decision was made only after thorough tests
and experiments had been made over all other Baking
Powders.
What does this mean to the housewife?
It means that she is no longer deceived by the claims
of the Cream of Tartar Baking Powder Trust who
charge 40 and 50 cents for an inferior product.
Yes and it means inifnitely more. For by using the
modern "CRESCENT" (E-Phosnhate) Powder,
which sells for 25 cents per pound, the result is more and better work, saving
on eggs and a reduction in the cost of living.
