News of the arrangement was re reived at the headquarters of the As sociated Charities yesterday, clearing away the difficulty that has been en countered in arranging for places for the two parties which It is desired to send before the end of the present month. J. R Cooper. Jr.. secretary of the In dependence Commercial Club, brought the announcement. C. A. Ecker. editor of the Independence Monitor, and Mrs. J C. Cooper, president of the Civic Improvement Club, already are arrang ing with the committee for places for 50 children. His visit yesterday was to ask that a representative of the Charities be sent to Independence to go over the ground and assist the ommittee in working out the details of preparations for receiving the fresh sir children. Sllverton to Take Party. Mrs. John Wolford. chairman of the Fllverton commlttre. has announced t':at places are being secured there for the second party, which will be sent on August 4. Thus only a place for the party that Is bein- organised for the present week is necessary now. Mrs. K. K. Bondurant and Mrs. Mar garet Thoroman. social service secre tary of the Associated Charities, will Co to Forest Grove today to ascertain If It will be possible to secure places for the children this week on the farms in that vicinity. Forest Grove entertained a large party of fresh air children last season. It Is desired, if possible, to send out about 30 or 40 children this week for vacations in the country. A small party is slresdy prepared atid a place assured with Chester A. Lyons on his farm near Lebanon. Mr. Lyons brought back his first crowd last Saturday and stayed over Sunday to organize another. They were to have left yesterday, but unforeseen delays made it necessary to postpone the departure until today. If a place can be secured the larger party will be sent about Friday or Saturday. Vt car) Motbrrn Invited. Among the Individuals that are be ing sent for vacations in the country Is little "Laura," nine years old. a deli cate child, who will be entertained near Lebanon. Another promise of places for fresh air wards was re ceived from Mrs. Emma Hauser, of Tillamook, who agreed to take care of four mothers and some child who Is delicate and in need of attention and rest in the country. This little party will be sent this week. An effort is to be made to secure a place for a country vacation for an other poor family that was reported yesterday. Tae ' fstlTeT. out of a job. went to Marsh-field and Is stranded there, unable to get work or to come home. The little boy is Just out of the convalescent home, having suffered In a fall from a building, and there are three girls and a baby brother In the family. The mother wept In dis couragement yesterday morning when she visited the office of the Associated Charities and found that no place had been found to which a party can bo sent this week and no individual places were yet open that could be offered her. It Is hoped that soon a place for her and her little ones to enjoy two weeks In the country may be found. Contributions to the fund have passed the $1500 mark, although the campaign is little more than two weeks old. The largest contribution yesterday was the pool of $30 taken up by the employes of Ladd & Tilton Bank. Other banks are circulating lists and It Is expected that they will also soon send in contributions. Walter K. Harris. Walter F. Harris. 43 years old, president and general manager of the Construction Company, died early Sunday morning fol lowing an operation for acute peritonitis. Mr. Harris has been a resi dent of Portland for two years, coming here from New York City. He was born in New York and educated in bridge and civil engineering at Princeton Uni versity. Mr. Harris was engaged In constructing viaducts and bridges for the Columbia River highway at Multnomah Creek and Latour elle Falls when the attack of peritonitis first manifested It self Wednesday and be was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital. Mr. Harris resided at 1170 Ivon street, and is survived by Mrs. J. Wiswell-Harris, the widow. The funeral will be conducted from Finley's chapel today at 1 P. M. Mr. Harris was a member of Ros6vllle Masonic Lodge No. 143, at Newark, N. J. and "The Spoilers" will be the at- I traction offered. An attempt will Be made to make up the present deftctt on the home. WATER PLAN PROPOSED EXTENSION OF LARGE MAIN TO VERNON STANDIMPE FAVORED. No Cut in Rates Contemplated as Re anlt of Reducing Sprlnkllna; Rights to Alternate Days. Extension of a 30-inch water main from a point one mile north of Mount Tabor to tho Vernon standpipe is rec ommended by City Water Engineer Clarke as a solution for the water shortage problem In some of the Penin sula districts. It is estimated the cost of the big main would bo $113,000. At present there are parts of the Peninsula where water pressure is low during sprinkling hours. With the new regulation calling for the use of water by each patron only every other day during the heated part of the Summer, this trouble has been curbed to a considerable extent. It is said, however, that an effort should be made to cure the trouble permanently and that the cure rests with an Increased distribution system. At present the 30-inch trunk main for the district extends only one mile from the reservoirs. It is proposed to extend this to the Vernon standpipe, a distance of two and one-half miles, so that the supply at this point will be more than ample even on the hottest days. There Is some talk also of con struction of a second standpipe for the district thus doubling the supply and reducing chances for a shortage. No cut In the water rates because of the new regulations limiting water users to sprinkling service only every other day Is contemplated. HEAVY TRAVEL EXPECTED 00 to Attend Y. M. C. A. Officers' Conference, Says Mr. Wonacott. Six hundred persons will attend the conference to be held near Pacific Grove. Cat., next Summer by the em ployed officers of the Y. M. C. A.. In the opinion of C. N. Wonacott, assist ant general secretary of the Portland association. Mr. Wonacott returned yesterday from attending this year's conference, which was held at Lake Geneva, Wis., and on his way home stopped at the California state con ference. "It seems as though every T. M. C A. secretary I met expects to come to the Pacific Coast next year and they all want to visit Portland." said Mr. Wonacott. "From my observations I believe that the predictions of im mense travel to the exposition have not been overdrawn." NEW BRIDGE RATE LOOMS Franchise Providing 3 Cents a Car Comes Cp Tomorrow. Having passed all necessary prelim inary steps, the proposed franchise granting the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company the right to oper ate cars over the city's bridges at a rate of 3 cents a car, will be up for final passage by the Commission at its regular meeting tomorrow. The measure, which has been pend ing for nearly a year. Is aimed to cancel the contracts at a fixed annual rate held by the company for the use of the bridges and to make a blanket rate of 3 cents a car on all bridges. This system has been considered ob jectionable as operating difficulties have crept in occasionally and law suits have been necessary to straighten out affairs. The 3-cent rate will increase the city's revenue considerably, it is said. Present rates on various bridges dif fer materially. The company pays a rate of $18,000 a year on tho railroad bridge and only $1200 on the Haw thorne bridge. It is estimated that the railroad bridge cost will not be in creased and that of the Hawthorne greatly increased, as it is used by all interurban as well as many local cars.

Mr. Holmes reports that Investigation shows the street is really north of the strip which has been used for a street and is through property now fenced by C. Bergetrom.

The attractive feature of the event from the standpoint of the visiting merchant iB the fact that his fare is refunded In case his aggregate of pur chases amounts to $500. Last year of the buyers who attended 108 bought goods of the value of $500 each. The entertainment given the visitors last year is to be excelled this year If the enthusiasm with which the various committees appointed for this purpose have taken up their work is any criterion. Mr. Chapman was able to announce yesterday the programme for the week more in detail. As it stands now It is as follows: August 10 Reception day and open ing of registration of buyers at the Commercial Club; buffet luncheon from 8 to 10 P. M., Commercial Club.

Hammer Asks $10,090 for Injuries Alleged Received at Plant. Attracted to the premise of the Ore gon Road Oiling Company to look at an automobile offered for sale by an officer of the company, J. G. Hammer alleges in a damago suit filed yesterday that he fell into the elevator well and suffered Injuries that can only be healed by the payment of $10,000 and costs of the suit. The company is made defendant.

Prouty, George Rlddell and Boyd Williams, the advance party of the Mazamas, left last night for Tacoma, from where they will proceed to the north side of Mount Rainier in search of a passable trail up that side of the mountain. Present Indications point to a party of about 100 Mazamas taking the an nual trip to the mountain August 1. The 1913 trip was made to Mount Adams. John Beneflel left a week ago to arrange the packing of the camp baggage over the glacier. This strip of ice is about one mile long and is located on the north side o Rainier. Mr. Prouty, Mr. Riddell and Mr. Wil liams expect to cross the glacier to day, mapping out the trail. BUILDING HEIGHT RAISED City Council to Permit 15-Story Sky scrapers by Code.

The measure will be in the form of an amendment to the city building code. It provides that the present clause limiting structures to 12 stories shall be changed so as to permit structures 200 feet in height and not more than 15 stories.
