JOSSELYN RETURNS HOME Portland Railway, Light Fewer Company llrad Announce Bin Plain Work to Begin at Once on Kat Side Sit. Immediate construction of a repair plant and car factory costlns 1400.000 will be started by the Portland Rail way. Light A Power Company on the lS-mcre tract bounded by liolsate. llll waukle and Rhone streets and the Southern Pacific shops on the East Side, announced H. A Josselyn. president of the company, who returned yesterday from a slv weeks' visit In the Fast. Although Mr. Josselyn and the local officials had planned this improvement tor several months It was not officially authorized until the recent directors' metlna- which Mr. Josselyn attended. The ground for this project waa pur chased early In the year and some grading already has been done fer the butidlnKS that are to be constructed before the end of the year. Principal among the buildings will be a general repair and a construction shop. Other structures will Include a foundry, paint shop, a blacksmith shop, a wood working house and a carshrd. With the completion of this modern plant the company will be able to con struct all Its own car and will then concentrate all its present repair plants there. Old Plant to Chance-. The present plants at Twenty-third and Washington streets. Savler street. Kast Tortland and Mtlwaukle will be abandoned. The property at Twenty third and Washington streets will be used for building purposes. The East Portland plant will be used as a freight receiving station and the other two will be converted Into carbarns. Extension of the Casadero Una to connect with the power property re cently purchased from the Southern Pa cific Company la also contemplated by the rompany. but this action has not yet been authorlxed. "We must have better service be tween the end of our present ltne and the new power site. declared Mr. Jos elm. bul whether we will extend our rails or construct a first-class wagon road has not yet been determined." A line to the new power site would be of no material benefit excepting to transport supplies and material. It could be used, however, for taking out some of the timber with which the adjacent hills are covered thickly. The country la not thickly settled. Iioop Action IMcases. Mr. Josselyn found favor with the ac tion of the City Council's street com mittee toward permitting another track on Stark street, which will en able the company to loop some of Its cars over the street Instead of over Washington street, thus relieving the traffic on Washington street. Cnder that arranamnf It will tut n t a a r-v for persons changing cars to walk but block for a transfer. Mr. Josselyn worked on this plan for several months before he left. "I was much pteased to hear of the success of trie Auditorium measure."' he said. 'The Auditorium will be sure to provide a proper mating place for con ventions, and in that Portland will as sume a position to which It Is entitled. "I was Impressed durtnf my trip East with the trip-gat fenders which are to be found In universal use in "hl. aj" and New York. We use them on the Port land Heights cars. I found that the pro jecting fender cannot be used In con gested centers. ff course. I was very much pleased over the decision of the people not to adopt the 'no-seat-no-rlde' ordinance, as this. In Portland, would provoke endless confusion to railroad men and patrons and serve no good purpose to anyone. New Cars Are Coming. "The advance guard of our W new cars ordered some time ago has arrived, anil they should all be here by October. Our K.ttern p-ople were much pleased over tlie. Increased travel during the Rose Carnival, and It surprised many to learn that l.fw. people ere carried In three days over our lines. "There never was a time when there was so much money in the hanks In the East as at present, lionds of good con cerns find rea.1v sale, hut at low rt spires. It seems that the Investors are unallllng to take any chances with their money unle exceptional bargains are offered. "President Tift Is strong throughout the Ka.t and Middle West. On the Iemocratlc side Judson Harmon, of Ohio, appears to be gaining strength. Wood row Wilson Is not mentioned as a Presi dential possibility as often now as M days ago. Oregon Interests Fast. "Eastern people are very much Inter ested In Portland and Oregon. Portland stands well with tie man in the Middle West and In the East. This Is largely due to the Commercial Club. Its cam paign Is bearing good fruit. Mr. Josselyn visited Denver. Kansas City. St. Louis. Chicago. New York. Philadelphia. Baltimore. Toronto. Win nipeg and Vancouver. Ills trip East was largely for a rest. He was accompanied by his daughters. Misses Iorothy and Mildred, and met Ms son. R 9. Josselyn. Jr.. at school. They returned with hlrn. aetrompanled bv Miss Elaine Carroll, of Baltimore, who will remain as a guest of the family for the Summer. VAGRANT LAUNCH IS FOUND Craft Contain Overcoat and Hat and Accident Is Feared. Boatmen picked up drifting launch at o'clock yesterday morning between the cruiser Hoatott and the Kast Side, and It was placed In the hands of the harbor patrol. The craft Is about 1 feet long and the hull la painted white, tie inside being green. a.b overcoat and bat were found on the stern seat, while a folded tent and camp stool lead the officers to believe that the owner was probably returnlns; from an outing and might have fallen Into the stream.

INDIGNANT HOLD MEETING Lincoln High School Is Scene of Assembly, "Which Is Fiery About Board's Hard and Long Test. Robinson I Silent. Prospective teacher for Multnomah County to the number of 151 are In censed against ths State Examination Board, who are characterised as "ter rible" by the fair applicants and some thing worse by those of the sterner sex. The cause of It all is the set of examination papers sent out by the board for the examination which was In progress since Wednesday at the Lincoln High School, and which dosed Saturday. According to the applicants for a teacher's. certificate, the questions are Impractical. visionary. Incorrectly worded and full of mistakes, and de mand altogether too much explanation and paper. County Superintendent Robinson, who Is In charge of the ex amination, has nothing to say about the subject. it , Ani a sohnrdlnate. said Pro fessor Robinson, "and It's not for me to say anything, but there certainly was an Indignation meeting In the halls Saturday morning." Dissatisfaction Is GencraL Tha Indignation of the would-be teachers prevails throughout the state, according to reports received at tha high school. The County Superintend ent at Oregon City telephoned to Port land that the teachers were rolled In Ms district over the questions. . and that they were especially- incensed over the allotting of Saturday morning to the reading examination when there waa plenty of time for it on one of the preceding days, thus holding them over a day needlessly and causing them ex tra expense. At the high school yesterday Itiorn . . i ii. i ih.t half simmered lug, Ql"a linii.il"ii -"r . all the week broke forth, and trie main hall took on the appearance pi a monlal meeting for the expression of l . thAnrht a lion t the ex amination. As the men were outnum bered, the general sentiment was best expressed by a meek-looking young woman, who said the examination was "awful" and the board ternoie. ...... . . -. nuestlons. ny, J uav I a... - said a strong-voiced ' young woman.

"Another says a farmer bought an acre of land, using one-third for fruit trees.

Of course, it doesnt make any difference In the result about the berry bushes Just so they are planted anywhere from 20 to J6 Inches apart-", "The examination is simply impos sible." said another. "The algebra ex amination took every one in our class at least three hours, and many a great deal longer. In the grammer quls. sen tences were given us to correct that were already correct, while the geo graphy examination was altogether too long and at times Indefinite." "Oh. It was altogether awful." said still another. "Whoever wrote that ex amination had never taken one, I'm sure, or If he did It was many, many years ago. The questions are out of touch, with school conditions, and re quire a book to answer. But what can we do? I gueaa It's our penalty for being schoolteachers. GRAND THEATER. REBAPTIZED. NOW KNOWN AS EMPRESS, NEW SAME ADOPTED GENERALLY BY SULLIVAN & CONSIDLNE. 2222: r V-:- A- 3 V , I v . . ,.' ..4 Vw 3 From today on the Grand Theater will no longer be known by that name. It haa been christened Empress. Every theater in the chain of Sul llvsn Oonsidlne will be called the Empress by July 1. John W. Consldlne has Issued a general order that this new name be adopted where It has not slready been used. There are about So houses owned by Sullivan at Consldlne which will have to be rechrls fned under this order. - For the past year, whenever the firm built a new theater It was called the Kmprees or Majestic, but Mr. Consldlne decided that to avoid confusion and to stomp the Identity of the firm more deeply on the publlr mind, only one nsme should be used for the Sullivan A Consldlne bouses. He selected the Kmpresa. Every other name that waa used by a Sullivan A Consldlne house waa used by some other manager, but the Lm prees had not been copied. Mr Contdlne hesitated for months before Issuing his order, as many theaters, such as the Grand In Portland, were firmly established and known by their old nam. It will require a ptibllrlty campaign to advise the thea tergoers of the West and South of the change and make them familiar with the new name. As soon si possible C. N. Ilyan. manager of the Empress In Portland, will have the new name painted Jin. IL wJLnduws i Uie acjr lec- uic aiixct zlsa. auL. la .place. Tine Wise Buyer Buys good goods when they are priced low.

Tne .eiier wm rmci i the police captains, with Instructions to see that Its recommendations be car ried out. Members of the club say that the un necessary noise emitted by unmuffled machines, beyond being a nerve-racking disturbance. Is a frequent source of accident, as the loud noise tends to confuse pedestrians and distract their attention from real dangers. It is pointed out that it Is unnecessary to cut out the muffler In making the speeds allowed by law on ordinary city grades. Motorcycles are the worst of fenders, as those machines habitually run unmuffled and give out loud re ports. The club officials request that tbe offenders be first reported to the club. and then. If the offense is repeated. b arrested and fined. President Taft hs a "twin" In ConnT-sa He Is George R. Malby, representing th Twenty-sixth New Tnrk district. Both well born September !., 1S57.
