WEED CUTTING STARTS CITV EMPLOYS 16 LABORERS AND 13 , INSPECTORS FOR CLEAN-UP. Resident Offenders Will Be Haled Into Court and Salty Sentences Are Promised. With 16 laborers and 12 inspectors the city started yesterday to enforce the anti-weed ordinance. The laborers, with scythes, started cutting weeds In the district Just east of Grand avenue, between East Morrison street and Haw thorne avenue, and gradually will work out toward the suburbs. The force will be doubled .within a few days so that the entire city can be covered within a few weeks. The lots being cleared now are those on which "cut-weed" notices were post ed more than five days ago. There are about 650 lots of this kind which will be cleaned by the city as rapidly as the work can be done. The cost of the. work, amounting to about 75 cents or tl a lot and an additional S3 a lot to cover overhead expenses, will be assessed against the property. Co-operation between the engineer ing, the police and the health depart ments has been arranged. This work will be kept up until the last of Sep tember, when it is expected every va cant lot in the city will have been cleaned. Reports giving the names and ad dresses of all persons who have been notified by tho police to cut weeds were submitted yesterday, and, it is said, arrests will be made within a few days in cases where persons have failed or refused to comply with the law. The charge in these cases will be "failing to abate a nuisance," and it is understood Municipal Judge Stev enson has said he would do his part in making examples of persons who appear before him on that charge. While the police and other ornciais are attending to the property owned bv persons residing within the city. arrangements for the cleaning of prop erty of non-residents are being made.

The Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture, the most popular Government document issued at Washington, has made its annual appearance and each Senator and Rep resentative has received nls quota 01 11,000 copies.

ENGLISH GIRL MAKES HIT "Merry Masqueraders" Classed as "Tuneful Absurdity" and Other . Laugh - Provoking Features Found in Abundance. "Extra added attraction" and regu lar prearranged headline on Pantages bill vie nobly for. supremacy In the likings of the audience. Bothwell Browne has sent another of his tune ful absurdities, the "Merry Masquerad ers," for the headline number, and England and vaudeville providence have sent Daisy Harcourt, the "added at traction." Daisy is of the Lloyd Alice and Marie type of entertainers, only that she soft pedals where Marie didn't and isn't as saucy as Alice. She has a distinct style of her own, how ever, dresses with swagger care and lavishness, and has a riot of ballads. One, done up in a fearful and wonder ful gown of purple and red, is a cock ney tirade that scatters blue devils. She "orates" on suffrage and does it convincingly and to the accompaniment of laughter. Hal Dyson plays her piano numbers with excellent effect, and the blyth Daisy pokes merry fun at him and makes capital out of her audience and the orchestra. The Merry Masqueraders have Frank Davis and Nate Cole featured, with Laura Vail and Frankie Russell, two pretty maids, helping them out In the comedy centers. An octet of surpris ingly graceful, slim girls dance into the story and out again whenever oc casion cal's. The big part of the act is the tango specialty. In which the girls, dressed in French. Irish, Holland and Indian costumes, tango, in contest. There's half a dozen songs and plenty of comedy In the story, which, briefly told, concerns the fortunes and mis fortunes attendant upon Davis and Cole, who In the guise of escaping convicts pose as expected guests in a fashion able family. The costuming is partic ularly fresh and smart. A clever idea is incorporated in the sketch presented by May Erwood and her "company." "Company" consists of one member, J. S. Devlin, who as sumes the role of a wise city chap. May, in the part of a simple country lass enters his apartments and right under his eyes ,steals everything in the place, even taking the telephone off the wall. The lines are pert and bright, chuckfull of clean doubleplay, and both characters are excellently sus tained, with humor uppermost. Davis, who is billed with a question mark after his name,' is fished out of the audience when a call for a physi cian comes from the stage. He turns the episode Into a monologue that holds a lot of new and a lot of old matter. Opening the bill is a real wonder act Salt Bush Bill, fat and amazingly alert, cracks whips 60 feet long with a revolver-like sound. He is an Austral ian and a wizard with the whip, cut ting smoking cigarettes in half, split ting envelopes and winding his wife in snake-like coils. She is a great big factor in the success of the act. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. ' DUB TO ARBIVB. Name. From Date ..In port . . June - 21 , ..June 21 .. June 25 rr.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL ASKS COURT . FOR CONTINUANCE.' M an uacturln fr Company, ot Seattle, whose Product Is Attacked. In sists Trial Proceed Today. The" motion of Attorney - General Cradford for a continuance of the suit of the Crescent Manufacturing Com pany, of Seattle, makers of baking powder, against State Dairy and Food Commissioner Mickle. was argued in the United States District Court before Judge Wolverton yesterday. The argu ment will be continued today, the time originally set for the trial. Attorney-General Crawford as attor ney for Commissioner Mickle, yester day asked for a continuance of SO days, because, he said, he had been unable to get the necessary witnesses or their depositions. C. A. Riddle, of Seattle, attorney for tho Crescent Manufacturing Company, protested against the granting of this request, saying that his- client had its witnesses ready, having brought, among others, two expert food chem ists from the East at heavy expense. The suit against Commissioner Mickle is to prevent his Interfering, in his official capacity, with the sale of the baking powder made by the com pany. The product is what ie known as an albuminous baking powder. Such powders are condemned in a circular signed by the Dairy and Food Com missioners of several Western states, among them Commissioner Mickle. at a meeting in Salt Lake City last Win ter. The Crescent Company contends that the egg albumen which its product con tains does not constitute a violation of either the National or the Oregon pure food laws and that Commissioner Mickle has no power' to prevent its shipment or sale. , PILOT DONALDSON GUEST Balloonist Given Loving Cup by His Illinois Society Friends.

VARIOUS TYPES DISCUSSED Experience AVith Those in Vse In Portland Likely to Be Considered in Making Selection for Bridge Over Columbia. Experience will different types of draws in Portland bridges may havs a bearing on the kind to be selected for the Columbia River bridge to con nect Vancouver and the Oregon shore, as some rivermen are decidedly opposed to the adoption of the lift draw, such as on the O.-W. R. &. N.. and Haw- 1 avAn,,A h.iric-e here also to the Broadway bridge draw when hand ling loftv shlos. Captain Joseth Allvn. of the Colum bia River Pilots' Association, said yes terday that in his opinion the swing draw, such as on the Burnslde street and Morrison street bridges, represent the most nractical and satisfactory of any in place. St. Johns Bridge Clearance- Enonga. "The St. Johns bridge has a clear ance on each side of the dra wrest of ast feet and that is sufficient for navl tion here." said Caotain Allyn. "Of course, the clearance is less on the Morrison street and Burnslde street bridges, but even with that. I prefer to take a lares vmsel through them than to go under nv of the others. "There Is abundant clearance botwsen the draw piers of the Broadway bridge, but often tho operators do not raise both leaves of th draw s high as they 'Jhould go, therefore it Is neces sary -or a man navisat'.ng a lofty ves sel to head her through the center, so the additional clsm.rnr is of no help and prevents another deep-water ves sel passing in the opposite direction. a. mU t Vi a rnnni to sienals at the O.-W. R, & N. bridge Is much too slow and at times It is slow at ths Hawthorne avenue briuge. Incident Is Cited. "A few days ago I was coming up the harbor with the steamer Solano. The steamer No Wonder, with lografts, was aBtern of us when I signalled for the O.-W. R. & N. bridge. Another steamer, towing boomstlcks, was on the upstream side of the draw, so when It opened only one vessel could pass through at a time. With a swing draw vessels may pass through both sides without delay." Regarding the draw of the Inter state bridge, the War Department has informed Waddell & Harrington, the constructing engineers, and also the Portland offices of the Corps of Engi neers, United States Army, that plans for a swing draw, lift draw or bascule draw will be approved on the ''"n of a definite application. Plans of all have been submitted to Washington. If a lift draw Is adopted the Depart ment holds that the clearance must bs 150 feet above a 25-foot stage of water, or in other words, it would be 176 feet at sero. At North Portland harbor, which will be crossed by the approach from the Oregon side, a draw must bs provided within six months after or . . . .w. fi.,.nmMt stnsrineers and aerea oy mo ' , , . . with a horizontal clearance of 100 feet.
