the city faced with a serious
'ployment question during the
two or three months, Municipal
e Rossman announced yesterday
re would endeavor to establish an
unofficial free employment bureau in
ccnection with his court as a means
of assisting worthy men and women
wiip an in want and who are sincere
In their efforts to find employment.
As the first step in this movement
to bring about a. betterment of con
ditions for habitues of the north end
rooming houses and employment of
fices. Judge Rossman said he would
issue a public appeal to all large em
ployers to notify him if they could
give employment, either temporary
or permanent, to men or women who
are rounded up by the police in the
vagrancy drives now in progress.
, In police court yesterday were more
IJian a dozen men up on vagrancy
charges and in many instances the
testimony developed that the men
had a few dollars, but were unable to
find employment. One young fellow
told the court he had made the rounds
of scores of stores and hotels in an
effort to find work, but was unable t.o
set a Job.
Promise of Jobs 'Wanted.
"If I am able to get the promise
for Jobs for some of these fellows it
will aid wonderfully in solving the
present vagrancy situation," Judge
Rossman said yesterday in comment
ing upon his proposed plan of action.
"In some instances I have been un
able to determine definitely whether
or not these men really want work,
but if I am able to send them direct
from the courtroom to a Job I will be
better able to dispose of the many
cases iomlng before me.
"Th5 man who really wants to
rly but who is unable for some
on or otner to nna employment.
deserving of assistance, but the
professional 'moocher' who comes into
court with a ready excuse upon his
lips and a convincing? air makes it
hard at times to distinguish between
the good and the bad."
Situation Declared Serious,
That the approaching winter has
brougrht with it a serious unemploy
ment problem is the concensus of
opinion of police officials who have
investigated conditions generally in
tire, north end. Hundreds of men can
be seen from morning until night
standing in front of the employment
ofl'ices. ready to grasp Jobs the minute
they are chalked up on the sidewalk
olackboard3.
Since Saturday night the police
ave arrested more than 100 men on
aerancy charges and in a majority
of instances these fiHlows have plead
ed that they are unable to find em
ployment.
In police court yesterday time af
ter time a defendant would testify
that he came to Portland a month or
two months ago with from J100 to
$200 in his possession, but that it had
all gone for room and board while he
was making an effort to find employ
ment.
Just as soon as local employers no
tify Judge Rossman that they will
have Jobs ready for worthy men out
of funds and in need of work, he will
put his experimental police court em
ployment bureau into operation. He
admitted yesterday, it might not prove
to be a sure method of solving the
present unemployment problem, but
Me is confident that it will at least
eVe temporary aid to many men who
aiV actually in want and who are
lulnestly in search of employment.

Lieutenant Ervin of Police Bureau
Says Every Automobile Driver
Should Watch, for Trouble.
Need for closer observance of traffic
maxims on the part of automobile and
motorcycle- drivers, was urged Mon
day by Lieutenant Frank Ervin of
the traffic squad of the police bureau,
in an illustrated lecture delivered at
the Central library under the auspices
of the national safety council. A
large audience listened to Lieutenant
Ervin's lecture and one delivered on
steering mechanisms by E. J. Blazer
of the Factory Motor Car company.
Utmost care should be exercised by
the motorist in driving near schools
and children's playgrounds, said Lieu
tenant Ervin, and this caution, com
bined with the new educational pro
gramme adopted for school children,
will reduce accidents probably BO
per cent. According to the speaker,
children of certain ages do not realize
the danger of playing in the street,
running across an intersection care
lessly and "stealing" rides, and there
fore the duty of ever guarding against
accident devolves upon the automobile
driver.
"There Is one eafe rule and one
only as far as I know, which does
most to prevent accidents," said Lieu
tenant Ervin. "One must always
imagine that behind every blind cor
ner there is a speding automobile
that from every point some child will
dash across the road."
Mr. Blazer, speaking of steering
mechanisms, explained the various
systems in use on standard cars and
pointed out .their strength and de
fects.
The lectures were the third series
of a course of 12 of a similar char
acter to be given at the library under
the direction of the national safety
council. It was announced by H. H.
Hurdman of the council, who acted
as chairman, that the next 'two lec
tures to be given next Monday even
ing at the library will be one on
the subject of "Power Plants," by
G. E. Spencer of the Oregon Institute
of Technology, and "Automobiles and
Pedestrians" by Judge Rossman of
the municipal court.
PENDLETON PLANS S
GRAIX AXD HAY TO BE EXHIB
ITED AT ROUXD-TJP.
Umatilla County Backs Movement
to Add Educational Feature to
Wild West Programme.
PEXDLETOSr, Or., Dec. 14. (Spe
cial.) Plans are now well under way
for Cctablishiniz- a northwest grain
and hay show here as an annual
event, opening next September 12-24,
inclusive, as an added feature - for
Pendleton's annual round-up. The
show, according to Fred Bennion
county agriculture agent, will be
planned so as to be the largest ei-
I hibition of its kind west of Chicago
The enlarged show will be the out
growth of a local hay and grain ex
hibit which was held in Pendleton
last" fall, and which was considered a
huge success. At present a commit
tee of four local men are laying the
foundation for the northwest show,
which has been indorsed by the local
Rotary club and commercial associa
tion, the Umatilla farm bureau, as
well as the commercial clubs of prac
tically every town in Umatilla county.
It is planned to have the final man
aging power of the venture vested
in an executive committee composed
of Pendleton men, a board of directors
made up of representatives from
each grain-growing county in the
state, and three directors from the
states of Washington and Idaho. The
Idaho directors will be appointed at
the Idaho state seed show, which
will be held at Nampa in the near
future.
A vacant city lot on Main street
near to the local railroad station, and
owned by the Pendleton commercial
association, probably will be the site
for the show. A huge tent probably
will form the roofing. Here grain
and hay exhibits from the entire
northwest will be shown and during
the first three days of the week edu
cational lectures and demonstrations
will be on the programme. (

WASHINGTON, Dec 14. Develop
ment of Alaska on a "big business
scale is urged by Secretary Alexander,
of the department of commerce, in his
annual report made public today.
"For 63 years," says the secretary,
we have gone along giving this, vast
andrich empire a dab of paint' here
and there, but no definite policy has
ever ieen suggested that has been
fully and comprehensively carried
out. The result has been much com
plication and continued neglect."
Declaring that the coast and
geodetic survey is a very vital agency
in the development of Alaska, Secre
tary Alexander calls attention to what
he describes as the imperative need
for complete surveys in Alaska.
'In order to appreciate the imme
diate need for this work," says the
secretary, "it must do clearly under
stood that Alaska's only connection
with the rest of the world is by water
routes.
Vessels Must Reach Ports.
"The millions of dollars that are
being expended to build the government-owned
railroads to the interior
of Alaska; the large amount of pri
vate capital that has been and will
be spent to develop her mines, to
build up her fishing industries: the
certain early opening of the vast coal
fields; the utilizing of the great tim
ber resources; all this would be
wasted and her vast resources would
be worthless if vessels could not reach
and enter her ports or visit the rail
road terminals, canneries and nearest
ports as outlets to the many mines.
With the great demand for paper
and substitutes, for wooden boxes
the country is looking; to Alaska for
the supply of raw materials. Never
in the history of Alaska has there
been such a Centering of interest on
these important products that have
been s6 scarce and in such demand
in the past two or three years. One
of the first conditions looked for bv
those who are interested in building
paper mills or factories are good har-
Dors and cheap power. Alaska
abounds in both. Hundreds of har
bors adequate for the carrying of
large vessels and conducting manu
facturing plants are in southern
Alaska, and in close proximity to
many of them is ,wonderful water
power that is only waiting to be put
10 proper use.
The anticipated development alone
these lines is about to be realized.
but the principal forerunner for en
couraging this development is to safe
guard the waterways by completed
surveys. In very few instances is this
done.
Water Surrey Important, t
"So important is the matter of
survey of the waters of Alaska that it
is deemed a wise business move to
establish at Ketchikan, the entering
port of Alaska, as soon as funds are
avanaDie, a permanent station su
pervised . by a commissioned officer
of the coast survey where the launches
of the survey can be stored in the
winter, a vessel kept In commission.
and where supplies including coal and
ruei can be obtained.
"In 1914, 1915. 1916 and 1917 the
department strongly recommended the
desirability of the purchase of Dutch
Harbor, Aleutian islands, Alaska, as
a federal government base. Up to the
present time, while the wisdom of
securing this property has been clear.
ly snown, nothing definite has been
done. Dutch Harbor, where now the
government wireless station is located.
is practically aoandoned. The harbor
is excellent and far better and safer
for large vessels desiring to dock
there than at Unalaska. There was
never a greater need than at this time
for a government base In western
Alaska, where coal, fuel and other
supplies can be obtained at any time
of the year, which under existing con
ditions is imporsiDle. The idea of
making Dutch harbor an ideal gov
ernment supply station is one that
should be encouraged and the op
portunity now presents itself," and if
rurther postponed the opportunity
for carrying out" this wise business
venture may be lost."
