aide bridge 10 or 15 minutes later and
told the Monto woman that Day was too
drunk to be trusted with .the machine.

went merrily on. That was the last seen
of them.
Speeding over the long bridge across
the Columbia and Oregon slousrhs In
dense oarkness, the automobile struck
the oblique railing where the roadway

DANGER LURKS IN WATER
VISITORS TO NEWPORT AND NYE
CREEK ARE WARNED. .
Products of Springs. Declared Pol
luted and Only That In
Pipe Line Is Safe.
There Is grave danger that travelers
visiting Newport and Nye Creek and
residents of those places will contract
typhoid fever if they are not careful to
drink only the water being piped In
from the mountains, according to Dr.
Calvin 3. White.
He visited Newport a few days ago,
and brought back to Portland with him
samples of the water from tha springs
above the towns. . These were submit
ted to the State Board of Health for
microscopical examination and chemical
analysis. Dr. White says they showed
large quantities of colon baccilll.
The only aafety to the traveling
public lies In drinking the ctty water.
said Dr. White last night.- This water
Is being piped In five miles over the
mountains from Big Creek, the City of
Newport going to an expense of 130.000
to put it In. Several of the principal
hotels of the place are still using the
spring water, as there haa not yet been
sufficient time to Install the new sys
tem In all parts of the town. Some of
the private residences also have tha
spring water.
"The presence of colon baccilll does
not Indicate that there are typhoid
germs In the water, but It does Indicate
that it is being polluted by human
excrement, and there ia grave danger of
contracting typhoid fever by drink
ing it."

ROOSEVELT PAYS
VISIT TO MINERS
Ex-President Climbs to Break
ers and Gathers Grime .
as Boys Talk.
SEES GIRLS IN SILK MILLS
Identity Is Hidden Long as Possible,
as He Learns of Life In Anthra
cite Coal Region Crowds
Form When Recognized.
SCRANTON. Pa.. Aug. . Theodore
Roosevelt spent the day In Dickson
County among the workers In the heart
of the Pennsylvania anthracite region.
While the real object of his trip is not
known. It is said he Intends to write
a story descriptive of the fields.
He met and talked with the men who
dig coal, as they came from the mines,
black with grime. He talked with them
about their homes, their children and
their manner of living and learned from
their own Hps how they look at life.
He climbed to the top of a coal breaker
and spent half an hour there In the
atlfllng coal dust so that he might see
what the boys who work there have
to do.
Black With Grime, but Smiling.
He spent another half hour In a silk
mill, talking with the girl workers. He
plodded two miles through the dust, up
hills and In all manner of places, and
ho returned to Scranton as evening was
drawing near, black with grime, but
smiling with delight at his experiences.
Many of the tollers had no idea of the
ex-President's Identity, which he took
cars to conceal when possible, until
after he had finished his talk.
Meeting Jake Kavanaugh, a miner,
walking down the street. Colonel
Roosevelt stopped him, saying:
"I want to go home and talk with
you," and Kavanaugh agreed.
They walked up a aide street to a
small frame house with most of the
paint worn off. Kavanaugh led the
Colonel In and sat him down on the
porch. Then he went Inside and brought
out Mrs. Kavanaugh and the two little
Kavanaughs. -
Good Housekeeper Praised.
It was at the noon hour, so that
Kavanaugh had time to talk with the
ex-President, who spent half an hour
there. He went inside the house, looked
at the small, neat rooms and complimented-
Mrs. Kavanaugh on her profi
ciency as a housekeeper. Then all
hands went back to the porch, where
the talk concerned mine life in general.
Everybody soon became aware of Mr.
Roosevelt's presence and the whole
population rushed out to see him. Mr.
Roosevelt tore himself away from the
crowd at last and, turning from the
main street, walked up the hill. At the
top of the hill Is clustered a group of
ugly black buildings at the mouth of a
mine. As he walked up, Isaiah Jenkins
pattered down, barefoot. In the dust.
Jenkins is a miner. He had no coat,
no hat, no shoes. He had just come
from the mine and was black with dust.
Colonel Rooscevelt stopped him and
the men shook hands. Jenkins offered
to show him the breakers and the
Colonel accepted..
Breaker-Boys : Tell Story.
They climbed three flights of stairs
to a dixxy height and reached the top
of the chute. Colonel Roosevelt found
three breaker boys, who kept on sort
ing the slate from the coal as they
talked to him. The dust was stifling
and the heat was Intense, but the
Colonel stayed there a quarter of an
hour. When he came down he was as
black as a miner.
Jenkins took the Colonel home, and
they found Mrs. Jenkins on her knees,
scrubbing the kitchen floor. The Colonel
went over to the sink and washed off
some of the dirt before he would shake
hands with hex.
The party then left the village and
motored to Peekville, a hamlet four
miles further north. There Is a silk
mill In Peekville, and Colonel Roosevelt
went through It, talking with young
girls who spend their days winding
silk thread on spools.
After he had removed the dust at
his hotel he met John Mitchell, ex
president of the United Mine Workers
of America. He talked over labor con
ditions with Mr. Mitchell for some time
and then went in his- automobile to
Wllkesbarre, 18 miles away.
Karlv in the morning he will start
with Mr. Mitchell for an all-day tour
of small towns around Wllkesbarre.
NO SEAT, NO FARE AGITATED
Initiative Petition Circulated Un
constitutional, Says Jossclyn.
An Initiative petition is In circulation
for an ordinance to be placed upon the
ballot next June compelling the Port
land Railway, Light and Power Com
pany to give every passenger a seat on
ts cars on the "no seat, no fare" basis.
The attention of President Josselyn was
drawn to this last night.
"Such an ordinance would be roost
unconstitutional." he said. we ob
tained our franchise to transport people
and not to give them seats. While we
wish to give everyone a seat, it plainly
la Impossible.
"I do not think people will be attracted
by petitions of this nature, which are
clearly designed to fill up the ballot."
The petitions were given birth by tha
action of the Central Labor Council, a
week ago. Indorsing the action of the
Building Trades Council, which In
dorsed the "no seat, no fare" ordinance,
and putting up the money to have the
measure placed on the ballot.

PEKIN GETS SURPRISE
PRIXCE TSAI TAO, EMPEROR'S
TTNCIE, SUDDENLY RETURNS. '
Tour Causes Criticism of Dynasty,
but More Royal Chinamen Are
Going to Travel Abroad.
PEKIX, Aug. . Pekin was sur
prised this morning by the arrival, un
heralded, of Prince Tsal Tao, uncle of
the young Emperor, whose long and
recent extensive tour through the
United States and Europe caused con
siderable criticism of the dynasty.
Prince Tsal Tao wished to extend his
stay' In Europe, but was ordered to
return to Pekln, the measure being
evidently Intended to prevent any anti
dynastlc Incidents against which the
government has of late taken unusual
precaution.
In spite, however, of the criticisms
of the extravagant peregrinations.
Prince Tsal Hsun, a brother of the
Regent, and several less exalted mem
bers of the Imperial family, will sail
for the United States. Aug. 24, nomin
ally to study naval methods In Amer
ica, although any increase In the Chi
nese fleet la not expected for many
years.
Sixty students, who are being edu
cated at the expense of the Indemnity
fund, also will sail for the United
States this month, as well as delegates
to the Prison Reform Congress and
the conference of army surgeons.
BUILDING IS DESTROYED
Three Fires in Night Keep Depart
ment Busy.
Fire last night destroyed an un
occupied frame house near the brick
yards on Slavin road. South Portland.
By the time an alarm reached head
quarters the building had burned to
the ground. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
Three bales of hay caught firs In
a barn In the rear ot Bruebaker A
Normanden's grocery store at Sixtieth
and east Stark streets, and caused a
run for the department at 9 o'clock last
night. The damage to the building
was slight.
Crossed electric wires started a
blaze on a telephone pole at East
Eighth and Ankeny atreets. The de
partment extinguished the fire.
OLD .PREACHERS' ' HAVEN
One Clergyman Wants Job as Watch
man or Timekeeper.
Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
That clergyman who is advertising
in New York' for a position as watch
man or timekeeper shows his prac
tical common sense. There are not
enough pulpits to go around, and so
Instead of waiting indefinitely for a
"call" and then running the chance of
being located somewhere in the back
woods on a starvation salary, he has
decided to hunt a Job. He proves his
pluck, but his plight provides a sharp
commentary on the kind of provision a
great denomination makes for its
faithful workers. This minister has
served 30 years as a missionary In
foreign lands. Two years ago he
came to the United States from South
America, hoping to do "wonderful
things In this wonderful country. But
I found that missionaries are not
sought here and that the churches are
over-supplied with pastors. I have
three children and a wife to care for
and I must do something."
It would seem that after a man had
given 30 years of his life to the service
of his church lri distant lands It might
not now be necessary ror mm to ad
vertise for work; that- if a pension
could not be provided, some place of
minor responsibility might be found
for him In the denominational offices
where his long experience would count
for as much as the superior energy
of a younger man. But there can be
no doubt that he will do better pecun
iarily by taking a Job as watchman
than by continuing in his profession.
The average watchman gets higher
wages than the average 'clergyman,
and if he proves faithful he is likely
to be better taken care of by his em
ployer. One cannot soon forget the
statement made by a speaker of au
thority' at a recent religious confer
ence: "An old horse receives better
treatment when his working days are
over than the old minister." Old
clergymen, sober, loyal and brave,
should make ideal watchmen. Per
haps more of them will take the hint
from their Mew York brother and seek
a profession where their services will
receive some practical recognition. ,

KILL BIG BEACH DEAL
SYNDICATE DEFEATED IN EF
FORT TO CORRAL G-ARIBALDI.
Owaers of Tillamook Beach Instrument
al la Frustrating; Attempt to
- Take Laad From Market.
s
It has Just come to light that a
gigantic attempt to corral the entire
nine miles of Garibaldi Beach under
one ownership was made a short time
ago. Several well-known Portland cap
italists were behind the deal and their
purpose, it is understood, was to buy
this delightful piece of beach property,
withdraw it from the market for sev
eral years and. when the demand for it
became so great as Summer-resort-property
that they could secure almost
any price for it that they asked, sell it
out at several hundred times the pur
chase price. Had it: not been for the
owners of Tillamook Beach and several
others- this deal would have gone
through.
"This would have .been- one of the
greatest transactions in coast property
ever known on the Pacific Coast,"
said one of those interested in the deal
yesterday. "Our only obstacle . was
found in the fact that the Tillamook
Beach people were wise to the plan,
and it was frustrated. Tillamook
Beach, however, will soon become the
leading Summer resort of the Oregon
coast, because of its utter absence of
wind and severe weather. Its location
is Ideal, being In a cove protected from
violent storms." C. E. Fields & Com
pany, agents for Tillamook Beach, in
the Board of Trade building, have lit
erature about this property, which will
be mailed- to any one upon rcuueaL.
