trict Attorney Cameron's office was
present In court when Presiding Judge
Cleland took office at yesterday
morning, the setting of nearly all the
criminal cases which are to be tried
this Fall was deferred until next Mon
day. The civil suits had the preference

the District Attorney's office, in sprte
of the fact that some of the defendants
nust spend the time between now and
the dates of their trials in the County
Jail at the county's expense.
With the docket congested with civil
suits. It is probable that some of tlv
aocused persons will be compelled to
wait until November or perhaps De
cember before' their cases can be heard;
for only the first two weeks of each
terra will bo devoted to Jury trials.
Page Arrives Late in Session.
Deputy District Attorney Page put
In an appearance during tbs forenoon
session yesterday, and after the most
of the 60 attorneys present had left,
asked Judge Morrow to set a long list
of criminal cases.
The judge refused.
lie did set three cases, however, one
being that of J. C. Reed, the real estate
man accused of obtaining money unffer
false pretenses. He will be tried Oc
tober 6.
Porter Loo mis, alleged to have con
tributed to the delinquency of a minor,
will be tried September 14.
Attorney John Manning, representing
Cora Irish, charged with an illegal
offense, asked for an Indefinite contin
uance of this case. His client is in
Walla Walla, and married, and does not
want to return. Mr. Page - insistofl,
however, that the case be set. and
Judge Cleland placed It on the docket
for October 3.
The demurrer to the indictment
against Carrie Kersh and J. P. Webb,
who are acoused of the mnrder of Wil
liam Johnson, was submitted to the
court by Seneoa Fouts, their attorney,
without argument. The two alleged
murderers will enter their pleas before
Judge Cleland at 10 A M- Thursday.
Johnson is the man whose bleeding
body was found in a trunk at the Union
Depot.
Aviation Company Files Answer.
The demurrer of the Pacific Aviation
Company to the answer of the Wells
Fargo Express Company, In the suit
brought by the aeroplane firm to re
rover a piece of aeroplane apparatus,
was argued and submitted. The Pa
cific Aviation Company, It . appears
from the answer of the express com
pany, left the piece of apparatus wlfh
Bert C. Scott, of the Hall-Scott Motor
Car Company, of Oakland, for repairs.
The repairs cost $443.70. The pleae
was shipped to Portland C O. D., and
when it arrived the aviation firm of
fered to pay the express charges, but
refused to pay the charge Imposed by
Scott. The question was raised on de
murrer whether a California lien for
the repair of property can be enforced
in Oregon. The attorney for the ex
press company made the point that the
lien was impressed on the property
while it was still in California, and
that it came into Oregon bearing this
lien.
The suit of the Inman-Poulsen Lum
ber Company against the city, to en
join the municipality from vacating

PICTURE ADVERTISES CITY
Chamber of Commerce to Distribute
Wall Decoration Design.
Much desirable advertising is to be
given Portland through the distribu
tion of the attractive panel picture en
titled "The Heart of Greater Portland,"
recently designed by A. Holloway
and intended for display as a wall
decoration.
A copy was exhibited at the Cham
ber of Commerce a few days ago and
received the commendation of those
who saw it. In the center Is a picture
of Portland taken from a point east of
the river, while Just above it is a re
production of an old photograph taken
from the same spot 0 years ago.
Around the border appear a number of
smaller illustrations, among these be
ing the Board of Trade, 1'eon. Wells
Fargo, Corbett, Y. M. C. A. Commercial
Club. Spalding and Lewis buildings,
a residence section on Willamette
Heights, a scene in City Park, a view
on Washington street, an every-day
harbor scene, the Union Station, a view
of Morrison street and a Rose Festival
scene.
Some statistical information illus
trating the growth and present pros
perity of the city is also given. Jt is
likely that the Chamber of Commerce
will mall a number of the pictures to
associate commercial organizations in
various parts of the country.
EASTERNERS AFTER JOBS
Chamber of Commerce Overwhelmed
With Letters Asking Work.
Inquiries from persons with limited
means desiring positions In Portland pour
Into the office of the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce in such numbers
that the question of starting an employ
ment bureau in connection with the other
work of that office is receiving considera
tion. As the chamber has a fixed rule of an
swering all Inquiries, of whatever na
ture, this requires considerable time.
Judging from the nature of some of The
letters, many persons in the East havs
aaJtaeAfcat Jpbe.areojjtoaUfuIou.t here.
that they can almost establish their own
scale of wages.
A girl at Lamar. Colo., wrote a few
days ago asking for a position as stenog
rapher and requested that she be given
Information concerning the firm that was
to employ her. the nature of the work
that she was expected to do, the length
of time per day she was to work and
other details' that conveyed the Impres
sion that she had already taken it for
granted that she was to reeeire employ
ment for the mere asking.
"A competent and experienced shipping
clerk who has worked for the tame
firm for more than L& years and who
wants to come to Portland because he
can get high"" wages." offers himself,
and Is evidently satisfied that there will
be a clamor for his services. He lives
at Clalrton, Pa.
At South Bend. Ind., a "high grade
office man" is willing to give up bis pres
ent employment for the future advance
ment of Portland. Other letters or simi
lar tone come in every day's mail. Some
times as many as SO are received in a
single day.
While the Chamber of Commerce cannot
devote its time to securing employment
for all these willing workers, theofneers
endeavor to send such Information's will
be helpful to the applicants in their ef
forts through other sources. Many are
referred to reliable private employment
agencies, the Y. M. C. A. or the munici
pal free employment bureau.
NEW NAME IS DESIRED
BIG BROTHERS OBJECT TO "RE.
FORM SCHOOL."
'State Training School for Boys"
Favored by Branch of Y. M. C. A
Salem Institution Visited.
Oregon's institution for boys at Salem
will be known as the Reform School only
a few months longer, if the plans of the
Bl Brothers' Movement are carried out.
This society, which is fostered by the
Portland Young Men s Christian Associa
tion, thinks that the present, name is
objectionable. It will ask the next Legis
lature to change it to State Training
School for Boys.
The Big Brothers organized to lend a
helping hand to unfortunate boys and to
boys whose surroundings are not condu
cive to character-building. Among other
things they are taking an Interest In
Juvenile Court and other reform work
Bach member makes It his business to
act as a "big brother" toward some de
linquent boy or one who it is feared will
become delinquent. The work of the
society Is broad, however, for It is inter
ested In all kinds of Juvenile reform.
A committee representing the Big
Brothers went to Salem Sunday and spent
the entire day Inspecting the Reform
School- The committee consisted of P. H.
Wyman. head of the boys' school of the
Y. M. C. A.. James W. Mills and Dr.
Alfred Thompson. They took up the
different features of the school with N. H.
Looney, the superintendent, who ex
pressed a desire to co-operate in any
beneficial changes.
"We found conditions good. In the
main." said Mr. Wyman yesterday after
noon after the committee had reported
at a meeting of the Big Brothers at the
Y. M. C. A. "We made one or two sug
gestions and found Mr. Looney very
obliging and interested in our work
"Probably the chief suggestion we wish
to make is that the Institution be known
as ths State Training School for Boys,
Mr. Loonev approves of this change and
will co-operate with us in requesting the
Legislature to adopt the new name, a
bill for that purpose is soon to be drawn
up.
"We found out that the boys feel that
a degree of odium attaches to the name.
Reform School. Some or tnem torn us
that they had no desire to leave the in
stitution because their friends outside
would look upon them as having been
disgraced by being sent to the Reform
School. If the other name were adopted,
we believe that this sentiment would dis
appear. "Mr. Looney told us that the work of
the school was handicapped by a lack of
adequate equipment. It is probable that
the Legislature will be asked to provide
several things that are especially needed."
POSH CLUBS TO UNITE
'BOOST" TO BE MADE SLOGAN
AT BIG MEETIXG.
All Improvement Organisations in
City Urged to Join in Great
Forward Movement.
With the completion of the organiza
tion of the Afiiliated Clubs of Portland
next Tuesday evening, the word "boost"
will be made the watchword, and if the
plans of the promoters are carried out,
Portland Is to make greater progress
than any city on ths Pacific Coast within
the next few years.
All the civic improvement clubs, push
clubs, public progress clubs and the
live wires " will be represented at mis
meeting, which is to be held at J. H.
Haak s office in the Lumoermens Duiia
lne. Each organization has been asked
to send three delegates, and If any club
falls to send a committee of boosters,
the matter will be brought to the atten
tion of the "live wires" with Instruc
tions to punish the derelicts without
mercy.
One of the chief purposes of the federa
tion Is to create an agency of harmony
throughout the city and suburbs in pro
moting measures and enterprises created
for the general welfare and growth ot
Portland.
At the meeting Thursday night, it is
expected that the project for a $500,000
auditorium will be given a push for
ward. Another question that Is to be
discussed is the agitation of fireproof
school buildings.
We will have several Important mat
ters to consider at the meeting," said
President T. T. Geer, yesterday. "We
expect to effect our permanent organi
zation and get down to business at once.
I feel positive that the matter of an
auditorium will receive the unanimous
sanction and support of the federation.
Issues that affect the health and general
welfare of the people at large will be
among the matters that will receive our
combined support.
While we Intend to Join forces for
the general good of the city, the associa
tion will be practically Independent and
separate from any other organization.
The clubs of each district, of course.
have matters of local interest to look
after and their work will go ahead as
in ths past In this way, the purposes of
the various clubs will not contlict but.
Instead, greater work will be accom
plished for each district as well as lor
the entire city."

MAZAMAS END OUTING
PORTLAND MEMBERS OF PARTY
ARE DUE WEDNESDAY.
Many Interesting, Exciting and Dan
gerous Trips Are Made by Moun
tain Climbers During Stay.
EUGENE. Or., Aug. 22. (Special.)
The Mazamas broke camp yesterday
morning and pome members of the party
may reach Eugene today, but the main
party will arrive In Portland on Wed
nesday, August 24.
On August 1. H. H. Prouty and Tom
D. Eliot returned after an expedition of
several days, during which they made the
ascent of Broken Top and the Bachelor.
Their return completed the work making
the ascents of the peaks to the south and
east of the Three Sisters.
Profeepor Ira Williams and H. H. Rld-
dell made the ascent of the Belknap
Crater on August 17. This peak is the
vent of an extinct volcano and from it
came the vast lava flows that cover so
much of the country between the divide
of the range and the McKensie River.
Surrounding the Crater for several miles
in every direction, is a sea of lava, abso
lutely bare of vegetation, rough and
tumbled aa the ocean waves, rising tier
upon tier to the vent of the Crater above.
A careful examination of these lava flows
was made by Professor Williams, whose
examination of the geology of the region
has been thorough.
During the last days of the outing, u.
L. Winter, Mlssea Maude Holliday,
Martha Gold'app and Sadie Settlemier
made a trio completely circling the
Middle Sister. Mr. Winter of the Riser
Photo Company secured some splendid
negatives in that region as well as In
some of the adjacent oountry and along
the McKenzie River.
Miss Jane Stearns, ths botanist Of ths
party, before breaking can.p, so far re
covered from the injury of her knee as
to be able to resume work on the collec
tion of plants of this region.
One of the peculiar features of ths
region is the large deposit of obsidian
or volcanic glass. It covers many acres
and glistens in the sunlight Ilka blaek
glass. It was doubtless a source of
material from which the prehistoric sav
ages manufactured spear . points and
arrow heads, no other deposit of ths
like character being known In ths Oregon
mountains.
The plan of the Mazamas was to havs a
party ascend the North Sister on August
19, to place the (Mazama record box on the
topmost pinnacle. The point was scaled
by H. H. Prouty and Is believed to have
been the first ascent made of that difficult
summit. This will complete the work
of the Mazama outing for the year 1910.
CITY TO VACATE STREETS
Council Committee Will Act on O. R.
& N. Co.'s Petition.
Action is to be taken tomorrow morning
by the City Council on the proposed
street vacations on behalf of ths O. R.
& N. Company in exchange with the city
for Broadway bridge concessions.
Mayor Simon said yesterday that every
thing is In readiness for the legislative
body to act. He favors the passage of
ordinances, which will vacate portions of
13 streets.
According to the Mayor, the exchange
is a beneficial ons for the city, and it Is
believed that the Council will pass the
necessary ordinances. He will sign them
if all that is Included now is carried. He
says the city is well protected.
It is the Intention of the O. R. & N.
Company to extend its terminal yards
over these streets and also to build a
freighthouse for ths benefit of the East
Side. Wholesalers in the district havs
petitioned the Council to grant the vaca
tions so that facilities may be furnished
by the railroad company for handling
freight without having to haul it across
the river to place It on the cars, as Is
now the case.
Negotiation for the vacation of ths
streets has been in progress for months.
Mayor Simon and a special committee of
the Council having conducted the busi
ness on behalf of the city. Councilman
Wallace and Uenefea axe favorable to
the vacations, but It is anticipated that
Councilman Rushlight, the other member
of ths committee, will oppose the grant
ing of the proposed rights.
SPIKES DAMAGE TIRES
AutoniobilisU' Complaints Result in
Repairs on Bridge. .
Frequent complaint has been made
to the County-Court of late about the
wretched condition of the planking be
tween the streetcar tracks on the Morrison-street
bridge. Automobile driv
ers "to the number of 10 or 12 have com
plained that while driving across the
bridge their tires have struck large
projecting spikes, which ruin ths tires.
Mrs. Walter Burrell was ths last to
make, complaint. She said two 50
tires were ripped open by the nails.
When the complaints were first made
the County Court gave orders to the
bridgetenders to see that the spikes
were driven down.. This, It seems, was
done, but they soon worked loose again,
so that further complaints came in.
The brldgetender has now been ordered
to draw the loose spikes, and to drive
new ones in their places, so that no fur
ther trouble is expected.

Wailaoe Carlson, of 843 Tillamook
street, was caught speeding his auto
mobile by the same officer twice Jn
ons afternoon. Patrolman Sims, of the
motorcycle squad, encountered Carlson

I
Wouldn't You
Buy a
"Grand" Piano
If You Could Get It
for Half Price?
irN ? Qfj? tiZkm
Ur4- NC-S3si. -Nil ' IT
Nearly forty "Grand" Pianos that have been used only
a few times in concerts and recitals during the last con
cert season have been placed on sale at Eilers. Most of
them have been reduced to about half price.
Every one of these instruments Is Just as good as new,
barring here and there a few mars, which are hardly
noticeable. Our object is to close them out Immediately,
so that we can install a new equipment for the coming
season, which is almost here.
Also are included several fine Baby and Parlor Grands,
taken in exchange from private homes to whom we have
sold larger Orands, or Autopianos, or Welte Mignons.
For such ridiculously small prices as $325, $425, $475,
$535, $535 and $575, you can buy such celebrated Orands
as Chiokering, Sohmer, Weber, Hazelton, Steinway,
Knabe, Steck, Kranlch & Bach, Decker and numerous
others In this sale.
No more than you would have to pay for an upright
Piano. Just think that over!
Baby, Parlor and even Concert-sise Grand Pianos are
to be found in this sale enabling schools and muslo
teachers, as well as private parties, to share in the re
markable advantages here offered.
Portland music lovers have never before had the
privilege of purchasing such fine Instruments for so little'
nor has there ever been so extensive a line to select from.
If you WANT one, don't delay a day, for the very in
strument you may prefer may be sold, never to be dupli
cated again at these reduced prices. If you are not pre-
Fiared to pay all cash, don't let that deter you from secur
ng one of these beautiful Instruments. We will allow
you from two to three years to complete payments if desired.
