Boys' Clothing Shop, Third Floor What Wonderful Savings Are Here and What Genuine Surprises We've Prepared in Unadvertised Bargains to Make Up 100 N s ewl 3S2d. Friday Sunrpri Columbia Beach takes its place on ' the amusement and recreation map of Portland tomorrow. This new bathing resort, with a fine Thite sandy beach nearly a mile in length on the Oregon shore of the Columbia River, directly opposite Van couver, virtually brings the seashore right up to Portland's front door and arrangements are being made to han dle enormous crowds on opening day, Saturday and on Sunday. Practically unknown to the pleasure seeking public a year ago, Columbia Beach came into instant popularity as a bathing place late in the 1915 sea son, in spite of the fact that, at that time, it was not provided with a sin gle one of the comforts and conve niences essential to a successful rec reation park. In preparation for the 1916 season the entire tract known as Sand Island, on which Columbia Beach is located, was leased by the Columbia Beach Amusement Company, W. G. Tucker, president, and the management has ex pended thousands of dollars in various kinds of improvements, buildings, con veniences, concessions, athletic fields. - camping reservation or "tent city," in order to meet the demands for such a resort. Good Approach Provided. One of the chief Improvements to be Installed is the causeway connecting the long trestle carrying the Vancou ver carline directly with the beach grounds. This commodious approach consists of a wide board walk for pedestrians and a spacious driveway for all kinds of vehicular traffic. Walks, trails and driveways wind in and around through the wooded sec tions of the island and lead to the bathing beach, the "promenade," the amusement "zone," the dancing pavil ion, the athletic field and the camping grounds, which embrace nearly 200 acres. The bathing beach,' wTiich is declared by experts to be one of the finest of its kind on the Pacific Coast, is more than one-third of a mile long and its par ticular advantage lies in the fact that it slopes so gently into the water that even the youngest children may wade out 100 feet or more without the slight est danger of going beyond their depth. The river bottom is of fine, firm sand and there are no treacherous holes,-eddies or currents. It was this condition that made it instantly popular with the public last season. Bathing? Accommodation Offered. Ample accommodations for hundreds of bathers have been provided in the way of bathhouses and dressing-rooms. Just west of the bathhouses is the large dancing pavilion, with a floor 80 by 130 feet, and in both directions along the "promenade" are located the usual amusement devices, such as a Ferris wheel, motordrome and other con trivances. The camping grounds, located on the eastern portion of the island, are al ready well populated. A fully equipped grocery store and delicatessen Ihop has been established. -One of the big drawing cards is the athletic field, which occupies a broad tract on the higher portion of the island and about 200 yards back from the bathing beach. This reservation has been equipped for baseball, golf, tennis and various other popular forms of outdoor games and sports. ' The beach affords a fine oppor tunity for real "sun baths" and a section of the beach will be reserved for the use of sun bathers who prefer this form of diversion to that of a plunge in the water. Columbia Beach will be provided with accommodations for entertaining evening parties, a complete electric lighting system now being installed. The first evening party scheduled is for next Thursday night, when the lo cal entertainment committee will en tertain the delegates to "Buyers' week" and their families with a combination dance and swim, with a special pro gramme of stunts. Several clubs and societies have re served dates for picnics and outings during the coming month. Probably the biggest one of these will be the three day celebration on Saturday. Sunday and Monday. September 2. 3 and 4, when the Central Labor Council will take possession of Columbia Beach and hold an elaborate celebration of Labor day. "We have had a great many things to contend with, in getting ready for the opening of Columbia Beach." said . 1. U ucKer, president of the amuse ment company, yesterday, "the exces sive high water holding us back month. We had planned to open on J Uly t I 4." FRANCHISE JN JEOPARDY City Council May Revoke License of Fire Patrol Company.

AVanU Hawthorne Route. - The TTnion Motor Bus Company, rep resented by Arthur I. Moulton, is the first company to apply for a Jitney franchise in Portland. This company, which is said to be made up of mem bers of the Jitney Drivers' Union, has asked for a franchise to operate Jitneys on the Hawthorne avenue line. Terms of tl.e proposed .franchise will be dis cussed by members of the company and Commissioner Daly this afternoon. Commissioner Daly plans to etablish a set form of franchises, which will be granted to all companies seeking fran chises over given jitney routes. The terms of this are indefinite as yet. When the first form is worked out he plans to have applicants for franchises on other routes apply on the same basis. . It was the original intention to have one company obtain a general fran che covering the entire city. As yet no company has applied for such a franchise and Mr. Daly proposes to grant the franchises by routes. It is probable the Jitney Drivers' Union will organize a series of companies with much the same membership to obtain the franchises on the various principal jitney routes. The ordinance discontinuing the present system of jitneys operating under license from the city will take effect November 15. At that time the franchises to be granted will take effect.

The County Commissioners will call for bids next week. BIG CONCERN ASSIGNS': NORTH PACIFC LIMBER COMPANY OWKS TS3.000. Henry P. DhKob Aauned Reeelver by Jadre Gnntenbeirf S.
