Park Board.
On thl pare Is reproduced a blrdseye
view of the 124 acre of land in Mount
Tabor which the park committee of the
Mount Tabor Improvement Association
recommended for purchase by the city, to
be devoted to a park.
This area embraces a number of scenic
attractions and Is well adapted for the
desired purposes. After a careful can
vass among; the owners of the various
tracts of land, the conclusion was reached
by the Mount Tabor Park Committee that
the properties can be had at an acreage
cost of not to exceed J11O0 an acre. It Is
believed at the present time that tnis
can be done at no greater expense to the
city, providing condemnation proceedings
are Instituted.
The proposed area has a frontage on
West avenue of 621 feet, as well as an
opening from the corner of Eask Yamhill
and East Sixtieth streets, connecting with
the winding road back of the Portland
Sanitarium. An opening from the end
of the Mount Tabor carline on Tabor
Heights, and another on the County road
east of Mount Tabor, now known as East
8event-first strt t. will ma the property
accessible from the south. By a circular
driveway connecting with the Water Com
pany's right of way from the Section Line
road, the proposed park can be entered
from all four sides. This tract Includes
the 168 acres recommended by Olmsted
Bros.
A meeting Is to be held In the near fu
ture to discuss the question of a park,
and a definite conclusion will be reached
at that time as to what will be recom
mended to the Park Board.
Frank J. Perkins Is secretary of the
Mount Tabor Park Committee.

Fight Against liow Schedule.
Members of the Barbers' Union are
sanguine of victory In tile vigorous war

shops which formerly held union cards.
The union Is directing Its. fight against

directed a strong fight against them.
Pickets have been posted and men, carry
ing placards announcing the shop to be
unfair, have been patrolling the street
In front of each establishment. Not less

GOOD YEAR FOR PICKERS

Conrad Krebs Says Those Working
In Yards Will Make More
Than Ever Before.
Hopplckers in Oregon will make
more money this year than ever before,
according to Conrad Krebs, the owner
of two big yards at Independence and
Brooks. . -
"I believe that the individual earn
ings of the hopplckers will this season
average the largest sum in the history
of the industry In Oregon," said Mr.
Krebs yesterday. "I base my predic
tion on the fact that, there are hardly
any leaves on the vines this year In
fact, they have not been so leafless in
years. This will make the picking
easy.
"We have decided to pay Jl a hun

reduced their picking price to 80 cents
a hundred, but we feel the pickers are
entitled to receive good wages for
their work."
The Krebs yards will require 1000
pickers this season, and most of them
will be secured in Portland. Mr. Krebs
opened an office in the Worcester
building yesterday and has already en
gaged a considerable number.
