Chief of Police Clark ordered the removal of that officer from Linnton territory to a city beat. Two patrolmen have been asisned by Police Sergeant Jenkins to Linnton. Detective Sergeant Baty, who has a fractured shoulder blade, left the Good Samaritan Hospital yesterday for his home. Three Austrians have been bound over by Municipal Judge Stevenson to the jrrand jury on the charge of inciting to riot, with bail fixed at $1000 each. They are Mike Bik, Joe Fuzek and Carl fihermoro, charged with being the lead ers of the rioters. They are connected with the German-American Bakery at 77b Williams avenue Owing tq the psychological effect of a uniform shown by the attack made on the plainclothes men by the rioters and the little resistance made to the bluecoats Chief Clark has issued orders that all patrolmen shall appear in uni form at all times while on duty, unless assigned to plainclothes work. Bitterness Shown Americans. Statements of Linnton residents to Pergean t Jenkins substantiated the statements of officers who said that bit terness toward Americans was shown by the rioters. The situation was entirely in hand yesterday and no further troJble is ex pected. The American who first called Patrol man Long to where the Austrians were making a demonstration before some women, and who was beaten senselss by the men at the beginning of the riot, wasV Edward "White, a skilled mill worker of Lents. He is married and lives near the scene of the riot. He was able to be about yesterday but showed the effects of a beating. His most serious injury was on the bead from a blow from a rock, but his en tire body was bruised. He is an ath lete and made a good fight before he was downed by .superior numbers. Coroner Dammasch announced that the inquest would be held tonight over the dead Austrian. Death was from a shot wound in the abdomen, and occurred at 9:15 yesterday morning. The body was Immediately moved to the morgue from the Good Samaritan Hospital. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, the 13 Austrians held in the City Jail on a charge of inciting to riot will appear before Municipal Judge Stevenson. Linnton Indignant at Rioters. Tolice Sergeant Jenkins yesterday carried on a personal investigation in Linnton. He said he found affairs to have been as represented by the offi cers Involved in the, affair. Resident Americans offered to testify at the inquest, and their names were taken by the officers. These and many others were Indignant at the outrage of the evening before and declared that the officers had, if anything, been too lenient with the trouble makers. "Kill the Americans! To h with Americans!'' were the shouts of rioters in the thick of the fight, according to Detective Tom Hammer sly, who was badly beaten about the head and re ceived a broken thumb in the melee. This assertion was corroborated by Sergeant Jenkins, who said that .miliar shouts were reported to' him by witnesses-of the fight. That vengeance against Patrolman Long had been sworn by Austrians be cause he caused the death of one of their number, was the statement of many Linnton residents. Captain Circle, who went with Fer's to the relief of the beleaguers! pquad of plainclothes men .Sunday night, learned of the murder threats when he found si Austrians in pairs along t he road where Patrolman Long had left Jils motorcycle, waiting for the appearance of the officer.

GIRLS ON LONG HIKE Two From Chicago Reach Portland En Route to Fair. CUPID"GETS ONE VICTIM 25-CENT LEVY QUESTIONED Larrahee-Street Iroperty Owner Why Cljy Did It. School Teacher and Restaurateur Walking for AVager Proposals of Marriage Among Many Amus ing Incidents of Trip. Miss Maud Bridson, a school-teacher of Chicago .and Miss Ruth Harsley, owner and operator of the Klaxton cafeteria, also of the "Windy City, and. Oh yes! " 'Ittle Snookey Ookums," a terrier, comprise a "hiking" party" that arrived at the Portland, Hotel last night. They have walked the 3000-odd miles from Chicago and have been on the way since March IS. "You must not foreet to mention 'Snookey Ook ums, sighed Miss Harsley, as he has caused us all the trouble that his name would indicate. He is worse than - the newlyweds' baby in the amount of trouble that he has raised." Miss Harsley maue a $o00 wacer with the Hiking Ciub of her home city that she would complete the journey from Chicago to San Francisco en tirely on foot and Miss Bridson is also under contract to do the same, but her wager is a private one and the ' name is studiously withheld. . As soon as the hikers arrived at the Portland last night "Snookey Ookums" proceeded to live up to his reputation. While the two young women were dining the dog was left in the room and his howling was so strnruious that the hotl marfagement insisted rtiat he spend the rest of the night in the bag gage room. "There were three of us when we left Chicago," said Miss Harsley, who was the spokesman, being the older, "Miss Laura Rockwell was the third member of the party, cut when we got to Ogden she left us." When pressed for the reason of Miss Rock well's determination to go no further. Miss Harsley replied: "Well we spent three weeks in Salt Lake and Miss Rockwell yielded to one of the most urgent of the proposals of marriage that were showered on all three of us You know Utah seems to have a repu tation for the intensity displayed by the men regarding getting married," celmly observed Miss Harsley, "I don't know why we were given such a fusillade of marriage proposals, she continued, "unless we looked so healthy." Miss Harsley and Miss Bridson have made a collection of police badges, one from each of th 3 towns they have vis ited.' "When sern at the Portland hvst rht Miss Hartley was proudly wear ing a Portland badge. "The police headquarters are the first places that we seek when we get into town," was Miss Harsley's comment. She was also wearing a bronze medal with word "marksmanship" stamped on it. "Where did you win that?" was the question. I had to work .awfully hard eo win that," wai the reply. "I had to plead for fully' 15 minutes before I got it,1 she added. The girls are both United States Marshals and Miss Harsley said that they were getting a great deal of fun out of protecting the public. So far they have made no arrests, but the re vol vers they wear and the multitudi nous police tars that they carry indi cate that Jfhey have authority enough to do so should the necessity arise. Miss Harsley said "that they had slept it almost every sort of edifice that was capable, of housing anyone during their trip. "We even slept police station over night in a town in Illinois," she remarked. The news paper in trfe town dared us to do it and we took the dare." Besides the desire to win the bets that they have placed as an assurance that they will finish the walk that is new nearly completed, the "hikers" are gaining information that they intend putting into a book of travels. Because of the indisposition or nssj Bridson, wty had. according to ,Miss Harsley succumbed to her fondness for cucumbers to such an extent that she was confined to her room, they were unable - to go "out for a time" last night. They will be in Portland for a number of days, then will complete their 4000-mile journey to San Fran cisco. ''." Miss Harsley gave her age as 23 years and said Miss Bridson was 19. Excess .Reported Throughout Season Except Where Mains Are' Under sized, and This Has Been Remedied in Some Places. Although an attempt was made re cently to show that Portland faced a water shortage during1, the Summer, of ficial figures show that during the Summer, under unusually dry condi tions, there was no time when the water supply was not far in excess of the need. At no time was it possible for the city to use all the water in Bull Run River, there being an overflow of millions of gallons daily at the head works and at the reservoirs, even when the river was at its lowest. The river, because of recent rains, has risen now until the supply 13 more than, double the needs. The Council was taken to the head- works In August, when the stream was at its lowest. The trip was made one Monday. The day before the supply of water for the city had been drained largely from the Mount Tabor reser voirs, so on that Monday these were or at least the principal one. No. 6, was about five feet lower than usual And the greater part of Bull Run River was going into the pipelines. Erroneous Idea Given. When the Council visited the head works it was "reported that 66,000,000 gallons of water was being taken into the pipelines. The city, according to v ater Engineer Clarke, was using be tween 35,000,000 and 41,000.000 gallons The difference between the amount be ing used and the amount going into the pipelines was going to nil up the res ervolrs, but the' appeetrance was that nearly all of the stream was going to make up the day's use for the city. The abundance of water available for the city was proved conclusively dur ing the Summer because of the condi tions. Reports show that there was by far less snow in the juii nun re serve and consequently the stream was lower than in several years. In spite of the low water there was far tnore Ma.ter than the city- could use. Even when the reservoirs were being filled while the Council was at the head- works there was an overflow at the headworks spillway. "When the amoun of water the city used was beinj taken through the pipelines withou any extra amount to fill reservoirs, the overflow over the spillways was large There was a good-sized stream below the headworks after tne city's supply had been taken out. . This Season Thousht Hard Tent. If Portland was In danger of wate shortage the shortage would have been felt this Summer, because the Bull Run River and Bull Run Lake were the lowest in years. ,. . y . The city passed through -the Summer with out little complaint of low press ure. There was a little trouble in some of the outlying districts because of small mains .and excessive number of users. There "were but few com plaints even on-this score, which was entirely due to undersized mains and net to any shortage of water. . There was no complaint 1 of low presssure in the outer Peninsula dis tricts this year, because of the comple tion of the new 30-inch supply main connecting with the Vernon standpipe. This doubled the siipply to- a vas dis trict and solved the problem of low pressures. - - Furniture (&UCgdl Double Trading Stamps AgikHBSi in All Departments Except Groceries Today will be DOUBLE-STAMP DAY in all departments of the store, Groceries alone excepted.

Kd ltor,) About one year ago. someone (or -parties interested) persuaded our Commissioners to put through Benton street to the Steel bridge. Now a big" majority of the property owners couldn't see where this project would benefit them, fo i hey turned it down cold. How ungrateful of those people to turn any scheme of our city gov ernment down. They ousrht to be irladlo pay assessments for such an efficient Council, no matter whether they are benefited or not. '! But risht here is where the bril liancy of our Commissioners comes in. and shows their genius for financ ing and overcoming obstacles. . Thurs day we unfortunate property owners on Larrabee street received an offi cial notit'e of an assessment of 25 cents per lot for widening1 Benton si reet. Last year it was to extend the street, but .now I suppose it has sot so congested with traffic it - re quires w id en in g. Of course, we peo ple on Larrabce st reel will cheerfully. pay cents per lot to widen Benton. ZWark jfcm, there is where the genius of our Commissioners comes in. They size up their people, they can read character, they know we dwellers on Larrabte street wouldn't be so rude as to turn down such a brilliant scheme. fc?o they reason quite properly, with Larrabee street btfeking- them up. they need not fear for the success of such an important undertaking, and moreover S cents per lot is such fine financing, it is on a par with their past, which has filled the city's treas ury to overflowing. If I were a financier I would lik- to figure out how much would be left of the 5 cents for the Benton-street project after our brilliant Commission ers are through with it. To begin with, postal cards and stamps, 5 cents; advertising. I suppose w-iil be about 15 cents; 5 per cer.t for engineering, 1 4 rents; inspection, clerk hire and over head expense, say 7 cents: bonding. I couldn't say what that would be. but we have a magnificent total of 28 S cents. Now. Mr. Kditor, what is this? It isn't high finance. Oh, no! It's brilliant finance. Yet I fail to see where Benton street comes in. But to tne people are awfullv dense anyway." FORMING OF GARFIELD COUNTRY CLUB REVIEWED Inability to Care For Visitors Leads to Organization, With Most of Labor , Donated and Social Order Established.

He said he was employed by an elec tricai firm, and as an employe had deal ings with the Navy Department. O ft EGO N AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Or;, Sept, 13. (Special.) The Garfield Country Club, of Clackamas County, is a pio neer ef the movement to organize the rural life of Oreson for the utilization1 and improvement of its latent forces. Its history begins with the comple tion cf the electric railway line from Portland to Kstacada, its postoffice and trading center. The club was organized and -incorporated under "the laws of Oregon for social purposes. Each member becomes a shareholder in the club property, and his equity is -considerably more than the cost of his membership. This sat isfactory condition was brought about by careful investment in real estate and other club property and by improv ing the grounds and erecting buildings largely by donated material and labor. The following brief account of the organization was given .by Guy T. Hunt, the real leader of the move ment and the club president: Soon after the completion of the electric line to Estacada the citizens of the Estacada district undertook t receive and entertain a delegation of Portland business men. Thu deiegytion proved to be lwrger than had been provided for and iva made up of both men and women, who were aeeking to bring the advantages of the district before the public. The reception plane called for a tour into th country and a picnic lunch a few miles out of town. The- transportation facilities proved inade auate and a considerable portion of the vis itora had to walk cmt to the luncheon grounds over an extremely hot and dusty road that leaned st a sharp angle against i he surround ir.c h it if. To make the matter worse, there was but little to cat when they reached the luncheon grounds, and as this was oniy about ha!f way to the objective of the tour, an Ores Asrh-ulturat Colpe demonstration orchard. most of the peaestnans turned back with out having- had so much as a glimpse of the orchard. All this was painful to the good people -of the district but it' served, to emphasize the need of rural - organization for a satisfactory mooilization Of commu nity effort.. The remedy sua-grested by Mr. Hunt, and-acted upon by the Garfield people, was the- orcanizatidn of a country club, This organization would not oniy form a nucleus for a big community effort, but would at the same time provide social enjoyment. At Mr. Hunt's sursestion a commit tee of a half dozen interested men met on the srrounds now held as club prop erty and laid the foundations of the present organization. A meeting: was called, an organization effected and of ficers and board of directors elected. Five acres of land were bought in a shady dell off the Clackamas River and the work of clearing a building site of trees and thickets was begun This was a heavy task, but was en tered upon by a number of Garfield residents, men and boys contributing labor and material and women and girls providing basket lunches. A small building was first erected; then more 'grounds cleared and a large hall built. A large shed for stabling the horses was next put up and then dressing-room, dining-room and kitchen were added to the assembly hall. Stoves, dining tables and chairs were obtained by purchase or gift. and benches and- tables were built by members. Moich of the material for the buildings and equipment was con tributed by lumbermen and others who heard of the work under way and wished to help it along. One of the unique features of the equipment is hinged wall-phel f which can be let down and used as needed as a cot for small children. This is also significant of the pur pose of the club - to provide rest and recreation for all classes of citizens, not neglecting tired mothers.
