tially Explained.

movements of a dozen men who put in
an appearance here several days ago
was partially explained today. Equip
ped with a month's supply of food,
packs and snowshoes, they left for the
heavy forest area southeast of Ashland.

fray between the Weyerhaeuser and
Hopkins timber interests in that par
ticular territory. The men admitted
that the flying column was to execute
a rush order.
Hotel people, livery stable keepers
and teamsters were pledged to secrecy,
while newspaper reporters were re
pulsed with scant courtesy.
Couriers returned to Ashland todav
for repairs and additional supplies.
Developments indicate that the party
is engaged in cruising the Hopkins
timber tract, also establishing camps
for crews, which, in the Spring, will
take up the work of fighting forest
insect pests, with headquarters in the
vicinity of Parkers Station, about 25
miles from this city.

Mayor Urges Early Action on
Place of Detention.
OFFERS OF SITES MADE
With Fund of $15,000 Now Avail
able, Mr. Albee Would Obtain 2 0
to SO Acres Near City und
Build First on Small Scale.
It is probable Mayor Albee will take
definite action this week looking
toward the establishment of a perma
nent dentention home, to be operated
under the auspices of the city and to
be situated within 20 miles of Portland,
preferably in Multnomah County.
Municipal Judge Stevenson and Mrs.
Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent of the
women's division of the police bureau,
have laid the facts before the Mayor,
in an effort to obtain relief. The num
ber of young: girls who have to be com
mitted to some home is increasing so
rapidly that they say it is imperative
to have in the near future some per
manent place for them.
Mayor Urgrra Early Action..
Different plans have been suggested,
but as yet none has been adopted. For
a time it was thought the Municipal
Judge might designate such places a
the Home of the Good Shepherd, the
Crittenton Home and various others,
as detention bureau, but it Is now de
clared that this would be unsatisfac
tory, as it is believed necessary that
THE SONGS OF LONG AGO?
Will Find Them ALL in the Song Book of
Portland Oregonian
The
A.
The modern airs are cheerful, melodious and sweet;
We hear them sung and whistled all day upon the
street.
Some lilting rag-time ditty that's rollicking and gay
Will gain the public favor and hold it for a day.
But when the day is ended, and we are tired and worn,
And more than half persuaded that man was made
to mourn,
How soothing then the music our fathers used to
know!
The songs of sense and feeling, the songs of long ago!
The "Jungle Joe" effusions and kindred roundelays
Will do to hum or whistle throughout our busy days;
And in the garish limelight the yodelers may yell,
And Injun songs may flourish and all is passing
well;
But when to light the heavens the shining stars return,
And in the cottage windows the lights begin to burn,
When parents and their children are seated by the fire,
Remote from worldly clamor and all the world's
desire,
When eyes are soft and shining, and hearts with love
aglow,
How pleasant is the singing of songs of long ago!
, Walt Mason.
vi
the youne women shall be under one
general supervision and that the city
should provide for it by purchase of
ground and buildings or of the ground
and construction of a building.
Mayor Albee says that it will be bet
ter to purchase the property soon, with
some kind ef a building on it. If pos
sible; it not, that suitable ones be con
structed thereon. This, he points out,
would make a , start on a permanent
home, which could be added to from
time to time, as occasion requires.
Fund of S15.00O Available.
A fund of $15,000 is available for
this purpose and the Mayor announces
that he has some good offers of prop
erty east of Portland, in Multnomah
County, which be is considering now.
One man has submitted a piece in a
fine location and has cut the price
$1500 to help the cause. Te obtain the
best possible property for the purpose,
however, the Mayor says he will wait
for other offers and several men and
women are seeking sites for recom
mendation. "My idea of the best method of pro
cedure." said the Mayor, "is to obtain
from 20 to 30 acres about 15 miles
east of Portland, in a convenient place,
for not to exceed $10,000. That would
leave a balance of $5000 with which we
could build some suitable houses and
we would then be ready for opera
tions, at least on a small scale. I have
some good offers of property, but I
want to make certain I can do no
better before I make a recommenda
tion for the purchase."
The purpose is to maintain voca
tional graining for the women who are
sent there. The establishment would
be in part, at least, self-supporting.
