THE MORXCfG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY," SEPTEMBER 24, 1913. 10 ;REED COLLEGE Oil r FIRST DAY THRIVES Enthusiastic Students Pour Into New Institution and ' ' Begin in Earnest. BONHOMIE IN FOREGROUND : Dormitory Rooms Rapidly Fill Up and Campus Bonfire Is Held. Many Collegians Start to Work Way Through Year. Enthusiasm and activity marked the opening: of Heed College yesterday 'morning; when the doors of the mag- nlflcent new buildings were thrown ODen for registration to the students who fathered for the first time to choose their studies. President Foster and the faculty were early arrivals at the college buildings and soon after the stream of students began to come. Many or tnem were there at 8 o'clock and from then on the campus was a busy scene. Many of the students are freshmen and these desiring advice as to the best courses to take and seeking other in formation kept those in tharge of ar rangements active all day. Dormitory Rooms Engaged. ' Nearly all the rooms In the dormitory have been engaged and the Btuaenis ""'having their effects placed created state of near confusion. Keys had to :be sought and places assigned in the buildings and the large mass 01 lur- niture. crates, boxes of books and other personal belongings had to De ar The kitchen was opened and utilised for the first time and the students tooK their first meal In the dining-room at 1 o'clock. The room was twice filled hv hiinzrv students at the luncheon hour and they talked and laughed with the bonhomie of long acquaintance. There was an atmosphere of gaiety and enthusiasm about the campus, which counterbalanced the quiet . gravity characteristic of their purpose there. Some of the students intend to work their way through college and these, as soon as they had placed their names on the register, applied themselves to the tasks found which are to pay their board and tuition. Some of the fel lows were to be found in the kitchen washing dishes and assisting in the preparations for the evening meal and a few who have been working all Sum mer on the construction work about the buildings were to be seen with shovel or hammer working with a zest. ome of the girls also are helping pay their way through by waiting on the college tables. I , Campus Bonfire Enjoyed. I Between 2 and 4 P. M. the registra tion office was nominally closed, and the men students shed their coats and constructed a huge pile of debris from the scaffolding and other waste ma terial and at 8 o'clock last night a match was applied and a rousing time was had by the students. Owing to the delayed receipt of ma terial, some of the interior work of the buildings is still incomplete, but this will be finished in a short time. The workmen on the exterior are grad ing the campus and this also will be completed soon. The tennis court floors were finished last night. Frank Clark Scott, a 1911 student oi Custer.

BARR MURDER BAFFLES Detectives Encounter Obstacles Learning Man's Past. in i Confident that time and labor will unravel the mystery surrounding the murder of Harry G. Barr on me unn ton road. Just a week ago, detectives assigned to the case see no immediate prospect of bringing aooul a soiuiion but are doggedly working out a mass of apparently irrelevant information, in order that they may feel the assur ance that nothing has been overiooKea. In addition to Captain Baty, who is giving nearly all his time to the case. Detectives Maloney. Swennes, Vaughn and Litherland are now assigned to the investigation. Not till the private history of Barr is laid open to them do the officers hope for substantial progress. They are convinced that therein lies the so lution, but at every step they are balked by an obvious attempt to throw a veil over the facts and to sat up mis leading theories that will lead elsewhere. Yet from the nature of the crime and the almost certain motives which were behind it. the officers argue that it cannot remain a secret, and they ex press confidence that sooner or later the real story will become known. Not the, slightest advance was made yesterday, nor is any looked for in the near future. The officers now on the case, however, will continue with It indefinitely. PERSONALMENTION. F. V.

Reay, Preparations for the explosion of the mines which will pulverize 27,000 yards of rock Just south of the village of Monroe, in Benton County, at a single shot are being made b? Chief Engineer Guppy, of the Portland, Eugene & East ern electric railway. From the fact that the shot to be fired Is one of the largest ever put off In the Northwest, the event is attracting unusual atten tion In Corvallis, Albany and Eugene. The exact date has not been set. Five thousand pounds of powder will be used in blowing the rock out of the way of the electric railroad which is to connect Corvallis and Eugene as a part of the main line system through the valley, but it is believed that the gigan tic explosion will be handled without damage to the little village, which is located only a few rods away. Ropes and fences will be utilized to keep the crowds outside the danger sone, but afford them a perfect view of the hun dreds of tons of earth and rock as it is thrown into the air. The big explosion is designed to open the way for the new electric railroad, and will leave a trail in different spots along the 2000 feet of mined ground from 15 to 35 feet in depth. With well drills five Inches in diameter the engi neers have drilled 120 holes. Down through the center runs a row of small holes which will be shot first in order to loosen up enough ground to give the powder room to expand when the big shots are exploded almost immedi- tely afterward. It has not been de cided whether fuse will be used in firing the shots or whether they will be dls charged by electricity. In order to accommodate the students at the Agricultural College, the citizens of Corvallis and Albany who have ex pressed a desire to witness the big ex plosion. President Robert E. Strahorn has ordered the first excursion train to be run under the banner of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern. It will leave Albany the morning the event is to take place, and will be In charge of F. T. Shelton, traveling freight and pas senger agent. . The Portland, Eugene & Eastern ex pects to begin running steam trains be tween Corvallis and Eugene by January 1, and to put on the electric cars as fast as the wires can be carried south ward. The electrification crews are now working between Portland and McMinnville, and will go on south over the old West Side steam lines of the Southern Pacific all of which will shortly come under control of the Port land, Eugene & Eastern system. INVENTIONS ARE MAGICAL Chapter on Patent Office in Haskin's Book Stranger Than Fiction. When you buy your next basket of grapes stop and reflect that the Amerl can inventor has made it possible for one girl to make 4000 of these baskets in a single day. He has made It pos sible for her to make 12,000 berry bas kets a day. He has devised a huge hydraulic forge capable of exerting a pressure of 28,000,000 pounds. He has made a machine which will weave wire netting heavy enough to serve as the front of a tiger's cage, and another which will weave netting so fine that there are 40,000 meshes to the square inch. He can transform iron ore into hairsprings worth 13 times their weight in gold, or into steel which you may buy for a few cents a pound. In all the world there is not a more fascinating story than the account, of American invention. Here, indeed, is truth stranger than fiction, and fact more fascinating tnan lancy. Ana never has this story been told so ac curately and impressively as in the chapter on the Patent Office, in "The American Government," the new book by Frederic J. Haskin.

Williams was arrested In California and brought back. About the same time Cassell discov ered that the deed given him by Wll Hams was worthless. The grand Jury heard the evidence about both transac tions but indicted Williams .only once, for transferring to Cassell property to which he had no title. There was also a charge against Williams that he had secured $350 as a loan from a Port land bank by depositing a note for $1700, the alleged maker of which could not be found at the address given by Williams. Before coming to Portland Williams was in the real estate business In Spo kane. His attorney yesterday told Judge Morrow that. In consideration of the payment of $250. Williams had been written by a Spokane man, who after wards turned out to be a defaulter and is now under Indictment, that- a deed had been made out in his favor and forwarded to Washington County, which the property was located. In Continuing his thorough tour of Eastern Oregon, where he Is dally meeting hundreds of voters personally. Ben Selling. Progressive ReDubllcan nominee for United States Senator, in the last few days visited Wallowa and Baker counties. Yesterday he entered Malheur County after having passed a few days in Grant County. In each of the counties visited, Mr. Selling re ports a most encouraging outlook so zar as his candidacy is concerned. on this trip Mr. Selling is adding to his general knowledge of conditions m eastern Oregon, particularly its needs as to National legislation. In doing so he has come face to face with, and has been deeply Impressed Dy tne rank injustice done that sec tlon of the state through the diversion of Oregon's share of the reclamation fund to other states. He gives the people of that section his promise mat, lr elected, ne win lose no time in seeing -that Oregon receives Its proper portion of the Reclamation fund. Development Is Retarded. Eastern Oregon Is an empire In Itself and the possibilities of Its de velopment are almost unbounded," said Mr. Selling at Vale, yesterday. "In order fully to appreciate the Immensity oi me area, ot tnat section or the state it Is essential for one to obtain first hand information of the country. Although the people of Eastern Oregon have made remarkable strides in the development of that section in recent years, both the settlement and development work have been seriously retarded through the loss to the state of its Just share of the Reclamation Service fund. The disbursement of this fund has not been made In accord ance with the plan contemplated at the time It was established. Moneys received from the sales of public lands in Oregon have been diverted to other states, thereby depriving this state of funds badly needed and to which the state was entitled for irrigation pro jects. The result has been that several projects have not been completed. For the same reason, urgent appeals by Oregon citizens for the initiation ot other projects have been turned down. Grain Crops Bounteous. Aside from the injustice resulting to the state from the misappropriation of these funds, the loss to the state and the serious handicap imposed against its development are only em- pnasizea alter visiting tnat portion or the state East of the mountains and observing what has been accomplished with the limited number of projects m operation, with the money received from the reclamation fund, arid land that produced only sage brush, has been converted into productive fields and orchards. The worth of irrigation has been demonstrated and the people of Oregon are Justified in demanding that the handicap under which they are laboring be removed and the state given its proper share of this fund, which was established by the govern ment primarily to aid in the settlement of arid lands. 'Blessed with bounteous crops of all .kinds and a remunerative market for their products, the people of East ern Oregon are a prosperous and con tented lot. The grain crop in virtually every section has been a bumper one, the yield exceeding the record-making crop of 1907. The farmer, merchant and laborer are uniformly optimistic. They have every reason to be. COTJXTY OOXVEXTIOX SATURDAY Bull Moose to Pick Candidates for 'Minor -Offices at That Time. The announcement was made at Roosevelt headquarters yesterday that the Bull Moose county convention for the purpose of nominating a complete county ticket in Multnomah County would be held next Sautrday at the East Side Library. To what extent the proposed ticket will be made up of aspirants of unquestioned Bull Moose quality depends upon the replies received by the "smoke- em-out com mittee from Republican and Demo cratic nominees who have been asked to advise the Bull Moose organization, through this special committee, wheth er they indorse the principles enun ciated by the Progressive party. Sanfield MacDonald, a member or the committee catechizing the nom inees of the two old parties, said yes terday that the' committee had heard from only one candidate, a Democrat for a minor office, who had admitted e was not altogether displeased wltn the Bull Moose platform. Mr. Mac Donald also, announced that the re plies of the candidates would not be made public In this way, the commit tee expects to be fairly successful in obtaining responses to us letters oi inquiry.

DOCKS TO BE FIREPROO PORTLAND HARBOR DIVIDED IXTO ZOXES IX ORDIXAXCE. Slow Burning Material May Be Used South of Market and Xorth of Seventeenth Streets. In passing a building ordinance yes terday the Commission of Public Docks divided the harbor district into zones, prescribing that all new docks erected between the foot of Market street and the foot of Seventeenth street be fire proof, while those south of Market and north of Seventeenth street may be of burning material. There were minor changes in the measure as compared with its construction when submitted. In connection with the passage of the ordinance the Commission rejected the application of George W. Bates fo permission to repair a dock on the West Side, between Ankeny and Burn side streets, as it is a wooden struc ture, also the application of Balfour, Guthrie & Co. for the construe. tion of additional wheat bins at the Crown Flour Mill, because It was In tended to use wood. The proposed improvement of the public slip at the foot of Stark street. where -a motorboat landing and rec reation pier will be built, was laid on the table until the next session. Chief Engineer Hegardt submitted an important summary of a decrease in insurance rates that would follow the building of docks under the provisions of the building ordinance. At present Insurance rates ranged from $1.60 on each $100 for a year to $4, the. latter being at the foot of Salmon street, where the risk is deemed greater. He said that on the proposed new docks it would amount to 30 cents a'-year on each $100 and 50 cents on contents, while on the concrete warehouses the Commission will erect in the rear of the docks the rate will be 15 cents and on the contents from 80 to 50 cents. SPEEDER'S EXCUSE IS GOOD Fear of Attempted Hold-Up Made M. H. Hauser Open Throttle Wide. Fear of an attempted hold-up, of fered by M. H. Hauser, a large wheat exporter, in extenuation of an admitted violation of the speed regulations, was effective in Justice Olson's court yes terday, when the defendant was grant ed an indefinite continuance of the case. His account of the affair was corroborated by the arresting officer, Mr. Hauser. with a friend, had heen out for a ride and was nearing the city when he saw a knot of men at the side of the road and the flash of an electric pocket light Hold-ups! he said, ana tnrew nis throttle wide open, passing the sup Dosed miscreants like a flash. A little farther on County Officer Truesdell overtook the automobile and placed the driver under arrest- When the defendant made this plea in court. Truesdell supplied the ex planation. He had been secreted by the side of the road, watching for speeders, when Deputy Sheriff Bulger happened along and tne two sioppea for a chat. The conversation turned on Docket lights and one was displayed. It was then that Hauser dashed past and Truesdell took up the chase. "I plead guilty," said Mr. Hauser, but I don't think I ought to be fined." "I fully agree with you," said the court. LOST ARTICLES RECOVERED Thefts Are Traceable by Police Data Is Forthcoming. if A. F. WALTON IS PAROLED Convicted on Own Attorney's Ad mission, Man 19 Shown Leniency. On th statement of the defendant's attorneys that, although the act com plained of had been committea, mere had been no criminal intent. Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday afternoon sen tenced A. F. Williams, also known as F. Walton, to two years In the peni tentiary and then paroled him. Wil liams was under Indictment for the oassinar of a worthless deed to real estate on Jacob Cassell In exchange for Cassell's restaurant. He had previous ly pleaded not guilty but yesterday withdrew his plea ana cnangea it to guilty. Williams came to Portland last March and under the name of Walton entered Into a deal with S. E. Hallal to open a restaurant known as the Overland, on Sixth street, between Washington ana Stark, each, according to a complaint signed by Hallal, to furnish $2000. The place started business in charge of Wil liams,' but after a few weeks he disap peared and went to California.
