BAKER CUTS OFF POSTERS
THEATER MANAGER ABOLISHES
BILLBOARD ADVERTISING.
Will Depend on Newspapers and
Periodical of His Own for Pub
licity Big Monthly Saving.
Manager George L. Baker, of the
Baker Theater, will Introduce a decid
ed innovation in local theatrical circles
when his popular Third-street play
house opens September 1, for neither
its opening nor the plays that will
appear from week to weekvWlll be her
alded by the usual flaring poster ad
vertisements. The billboards are to
be used no longer to entice patrons at
the Baker Theater. Even window;
cards, portraying scenes from forth
coming plays, will be eliminated also.
The newspapers and Baker's Players,
a theatrical publication just brought
, out By Manager Baker, will be used
to spread information about the Baker
' shows.
By cutting out billboard advertising,
the Baker management will not only
be doing the Portland public a favor
by removing rods upon rods of un
sightly and highly-colored posters
from the billboards and walls about'
town, but Manager Baker will be do
- ing himself a good turn as well, for he
will save from 1700 to $800 each month
by the new arrangement. While the
Tnange is a decidedly novel one in the
atrical circles, for the billboard is al
most as old as the theaters themselves.
and the move Is somewhat in the na
ture of an experiment on Manager
Bakery part. It is believed that It will
be one that will be approved by the
public. t
"I figure that theatergoers are an
intelligent class of people who read
the newspapers," said Manager Baker
last night, "and can tell the cierits of
what we have to offer them through
those mediums better than by reading
the billboards. We can better afford to
put out money Into plays and players
at the Baker Theater and the heavy
expense for pictorial printing that we
were formerly put to will be used to
maintain . the 'standard of Baker
plays."
CLOSE BLACKSMITH SHOPS
District Attorney Manning Acts to
, Stop Sunday Desecration.
District Attorney Manning again gave
further evidence of his determination to
compel obser-ance of the Sunday-closing
laws of the state when he Issued the
following order, closing the blacksmith
shops throughout Multnomah County:
To the Blacksmiths and Horseshoers
of the City of Portland: You, and each
of you. are hereby notified that on and
after Sunday, August 25, 1907, you will
be obliged, under section 1968 of the
statutes of Oregon, to keep your black
smith shops closed on each and every
Sunday thereafter.
I have received a petition from the
Master Horseshoers' Protective Asso
ciation, signed by a number of black
smiths and horseshoers of this city, re
questing me to assist them in keeping
the blacksmith shops closed on Sunday,
Therefore, any man conducting a black
smith shop who is found working in
said shop or keeping the same open on
Sunday will be arrested and prosecut
ed. By order of
JOHN MANNING,
District Attorney for the Fourth Judi
cial District of the State of Oregon.

Makes Hop-picking a
Pleasure for Girls
Y. AV. C. A. to Provide Kutrrlnin
ment and Safety for Women
Worker In the Fields. "
BY LILIAN TIJfGLB.
DURING the coming hop-picking
season the Oregon State Board of
the Young Women's Christian Associa
tion will make an entirely new depart
ure in Association work.
It is felt that the association has a
function wherever women are gathered
in any. kind of artificial relations. The
work in universities and colleges is
based upon this idea, and It. certainly
applies with equal force to the gather
ing of thousands in the hop fields.
In the old days, wnen yards were
not so extensive and when as a rule
whole families went together to the
picking, there were no such special
conditions , to be met. Now, however,
when the hopgrowers rely more on
miscellaneous transient service, and
hundreds of young women go without
escort or family protection, it seems
that this association, which has for its
purpose "the development of the best
possible physical, mental and social
conditions for young womanhood,"
should feel responsibilities and find
opportunities for helpfulness. It is
fitting also that the greatest hopgrow
lng state in the Union should be the
first in which this new line of social
service is attempted.
In its general features the work will
resemble that undertaken In the' En
glish hopyards. where the association
has been active for some . years.
Though necessarily less permanent in
character, it is something like the "Mill
Village work" of the South. The ex
periment will be first tried In the Krebs
hopyards, in Polk County. The own
ers of these yards draw most of their'
pickers from Portland and welcome the
extra comforts and safeguards which
the presence of association headquar
ters will give.
Miss M. J. Myers, of Forest Grove,
will be manager and general chaperone.
Mrs. W. J. Honeyman, president of the
State Board of the Association, Miss
Frances C. Gage, state secretary, and
Miss Maud Ewing Ross, assistant state
secretary, will also be present. Mrs.
F. Swanton will have charge of the
entertainment programmes and Miss
Beula Caldwell will be responsible for
themuslc. Camping place, amusement
hall, cooking outfit and many other
things have been generously' provided
by : Mr. Krebs. I
The association will have charge of a
restaurant where comfortable meals can
be obtained. There will be two or more
dormitory tents for girls who are alone,
and a large rest-tent, with couches, and
provision for anyone suddenly taken ill.
A Jlbrary-corner, with magazines and
books from the Library Commission at
Salem, and convenient desks and writing
materials will probably be much appre
ciated, 1
In the evenings there will be "good
times" of various kinds. Ellers Piano
House is kindly supplying not only a
piano, but an electric piano player, too.
The Columbia Phonograph Company have
lent a phonograph with records to suit
tastes both grave and gay. Mr. Hester
will be down there at least once with bis
stereopticon views, and moving pictures
are spoken of. There will be a regular
entertainment once a week in the amuse
ment hall. Religious services will be held
every Sunday, with good music from the
double quartet, to -be organized by Miss
Ross.
Girls will find that the friendliness of
the association is not confined to the
are seeking for work later, or who are
needing any sort of help or kindness,
will find It at the Portland headquarters.
If this first season's undertaking is as
successful as it promises to be, extensive
developments may be looked for, both
here and elsewhere next year.
GIVE BANKERS FAIR CHANCE
Depositor Would "Not Hamper Them
With Threats of Prosecution.
PORTLAND,' Aug. 24. (To the Edi
tor.) I am one of the. heavier deposi
tors of the Oregon Trust & Savings
Bank, and I believe I represent the at
titude of a large number of the deposi
tors. I wish to say to the officers of
the bank and to the whole number of
depositors that I believe In a square
deal, and to this end there should be
given to President Moore and the di
rectors of the bank a fair chance to
make good on the promise to pay dol
lar for dollar to the unfortunate de
positors. I do not believe the bank's
affairs could be In better hands than
they are in now. I say, let Mr. Moore
have a chance to put his own private
resources into the settlement, If that
proves necessary.
It is not giving the men a square
deal to hamper them by threats of
criminal prosecution or forced involun
tary bankruptcy, before they have had
a chance to make good. If after 60
days, as promised, there is no divi
dend declared and a still further dis
position to make promises, then let
further action be taken.
As for myself, I am willing to take
President Moore at his word and give
him my whole confidence, and let him
have a fair chance to make good.
All I want ,1s my money, whloh I
trusted to his- care. This is all any of
us want. Let'us put aside all threats
of -criminal prosecution or any other
action that would hinder or worry the
officers of the bank till they prove
themselYes unworthy of further con
fidence. Nothing coutd be fairer than
the proposition to pay dollar for dol
lar, and If Mr. Moore Is a real man
he will do it. B. H. JONES.
Bank Clearings Show Gain.
Bank-clearings for the week ended
yesterday show a gain of almost 12,
0O0.000 over figures for the correspond
ing week of last year. The elearlngs
for the week Just ended are $6,150.
855.64, while last year shows a total
for the corresponding week of $4,841,
111.66. Considering the fact that the
feature of the week in financial clr
cles was a bank failure, these figures
do not show any signs of uneasiness
In the money market. That the
calamity to the depositors of the Ore
gon Trust & Savings Bank was con
fined almost wholly to them and did
not affect other business interests of
the city, is the general opinion of all
In financial circles.
