BEACH GETS FINE HOTEL ON GEARHART PARK IS LO CATED GREAT HOSTELRY. Formal Opening Held With Invited Friends of Management as Guests. Picturesque Is Location. GEARHART. Or., June 19. (Special.) "Hotel Gearhart by the Sea" was in formally opened Saturday, a few friends of the management being invited to participate in the initiatory event that places a real, first-class Pacific Coast resort before the country. Gearhart Park Is a spot nature seems to have selected to display her handi work in shaping a beautiful landscape behind a broad sweep of the ocean, which man now proposes t. convert to his use and enjoyment. Although dis covered and appropriated many years ago. It lay as a sequestered heritage until a group of men recently viewed it and concluded that the public should Bhare the treasure. A syndicate, headed by O. W. Taylor, president of the Ruth Trust Company, was formed and the 700 acres of natural park were taken over last March. The first need was a large hotel with equipment .and service to meet the sharp competition along the coast. What might have been the dream of an architect is now a subst. ntial struct ure, separated from the Eurf by a ter raced lawn. Broad verandas almost surround the building, which contains 100 rooms, all steam-heated and lighted by e'ectriclty. Salt water and, fresh water baths are provided for the hotel, and a large plunge, 30 by 75 feet, will be filled with heated salt water and ready for the first swim July 1. The porch dining-room, with a ceating ca pacity of 250, more nearly resembles a conservatory, from which passing ships and the broad beach may be seen. Having In mind the pleasure of eat ing, as well as seeing the syndicate purchased an adjacent farm, and a se lect herd of Jersey cows which will supply the patrons with cream and but ter. The hotel also has Its own poul try yards and garden, ar.d Bernard" Sar gousee, for 18 years chef at the Arling ton Club. : as full charge or the eat ables. The hotel Is under the direct management of L. E. Martinez, who was formerly steward at the Commer cial Club. As if nature had intended to leave out nothing. a broad, fresh-water stream, between even banks fringed with swaying grass, slowly makes its way to the ocean through the middle of the tract. Between the river and railroad tracks are 200 acres of virgin forest, ferns and twining vines. The syndicate has reserved this for a park and will preserve all its .natural beau ties, cutting only where It Is neces sary to make room for paths and rus tic benches. Those who perfer more seclusion than the hotel affords are permitted to share the unappropriated part of the beach, and more than a score of freshly-painted cottages already sur mount the sand dunes or are half hidden among the trees. The- Hill Interests, which have been active in building up Oregon, and par ticularly H. M. Adams, whose hobby is Oregon beaches, were largely In strumental In bringing Gearhart, as well as other seaside resorts, to the front. To further help matters spe cial rates have been made from all parts of Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho till October 1. MRS. PITTMAN LOCATED FORMER PORTLAND -' WOMAN, DESERTED, IN SACRAMENTO.

RUSSIA HAS REFORM BILL Duma' Takes Steps to Better Condi- tfons of Labor'. 6T. PETERSBURG, June IS. (Special.) That Russia is making some progress, after all, Is evident from the fact that attention is being paid to the hours of labor in shops, restaurants and public In stitutions. The Duma has . under consid eration a. government bill, which does not1 realize an eight-hour day, but is a big step forward for Russia, where condi tions have been quite abominable to Western minds.

McCray "Served Right" for Knowing - Portland Shriners. Given Two Hours of Icebox Weather at Temple. Does it pay to be a married man? If so, why should a man, newly wed, be ar rested, handcuffed, lassoed and dragged away from his bride of a few days the moment he sets, foot In strange territory? . Ask Elmer E. McCray. If there be any one li Portland better qualified to ask and answer, ' mayhap the above ques tions, Mr. McCray would like to meet him face to face. Confronted by the business end of a big revolver as he stepped from the Port land Hotel 'bus Saturday night. Mr. Mc Cray, millionaire factory owner from Kendalville, Ind., and reecnt acquisition to the ranks of the benedicts, had , his blissful honeymoon cut short for a few hours. "Hold up your hands you're under ar rest," was the stern greeting Mr. McCray received from Special Deputy Sheriff W. W. Metzger last night as he left the big hostelrly 'bus. "Freezing refrigerators, what for!" shouted McCray. Further expostulations were cut off, however, for William H. Galvani deftly hurled a' lasso around the neck of 'the novitiate and drew It to such tightness that any attempt at conversation or par ley on the part of McCray would have been foolish, to say the least. Ten sturdy henchmen of Potentate Gal- vanl assisted In the work of dragging the victim from the Portland Hotel to the Masonic Temple, while the terrified bride was taken care of by Mr. and Mrs. Rob inson at the hotel. At the Masonic Temple two solid hours were expended by the motley rabble there congregated In initiating Mc Cray into the 33d degree of exemplified bridegrooms, or "It Serves You Right for Becoming a Bridegroom In June." When the lnitlatjon was concluded, Mc Cray only had breath left to murmur feebly two words. "I ll buy." And this Is how It all came about. Elmer McCray is a wealthy man, and at his home In Kendallvllle, he has a large refrigerator company. He became acquainted with a number of the Port land Shriners when they attended the convention held in tho East a short time ago. and, when he found that he must order 2.000,000 feet of Oregon spruce for his factories, he decided that he would combine business 'with pleasure and take a trip Into the West. To hark back a little, however, it must be told that Mr. McCray was married on June lvof this year, and according to local Masons the timber story is Just a bluff. As a matter of fact. It Is said. Mr. McCray made the trip as a honey moon junket, and nothing more. Mr. and Mrs. McCray arrived in -Portland last night on the 8:30 o'clock train. The rest of the story has been told. Mr. McCray now claims full membership in the exemplified Order of June Bene dicts, and he Is very," very certain that he earned, it, too. As an aftermath. It may be said that Potentate Galvanl and several others called up the Portland Hotel and apolo gized to Mrs. McCray for the absence of her husband, explaining that it was very necessary.
