Of the 40,000 hopplckera required to

Willamette Valley, where picking- will

About 200iof these pickers left the
city yesterday by train and boat. The
Oregon Electric took out large crowds
during the day and will leave them at
various points on the line between this
city and Salem. Several hundred also
went out on an additional section to
the Southern Pacific's morning train on
the West Side. Many, of these were
bound for the large ' yards in Polk
County. The steamers Pomona and
Oregona carried 400 pickers headed for
yards along the river.
The coming week will see the heav
iest movement. Several special trains
are scheduled to leave by the Oregon
Electric and Southern Pacific each day
during the early part of the week. Ac
commodatlons up to 1000 passengers
have been provided for on some of
these trains. Booking agencies in this
city have had no difficulty In securing
all the pickers they needed. Some of
the offices closed their books nearly a
week ago, but applicants were numer
ous up to a late hour yesterday. A
few of the growers. In view of the
aboundance of labor offered, posted
notices that only families would be
accepted. - Experience has shown them
that better results are obtained from
families than from unmarried pickers.
Others took this step in order to close
their v&rda tn nnssibla ncrltatnrn
The hop crop this year will 11 larger
than for several years past, and if the
weather continues favorable picking
will be extended to a later date.
PICKERS ARRIVE OS SPECIALS
Independence Crowded With Hop-
pickers Read; for Work.
INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Aug. " SO.
, Special.) Today was by far the larg
est day in the number of arrivals of
hop pickers, a 13-car special train pre
ceding the regular, which carried four
or five extra coaches. Tbe streets are
crowded with wagons from daylight to
dark, which are conveying them to the
fields. More yards arePstarting to work
every day, but It will be the middle of
the week before they are all In opera
tion. The prominent hop growers and the
officials of the city are sending out
word to all parts of the Northwest,
that no one who has not signed up or
has not engaged a place to work
should not come expecting to get
work, as every yard Is full handed.
Among the men .who have already
come into the city it is said there are
a number of crooks and gamblers, but
they are being watched closely, and
the first time that they try to operate
will be promptly taken in.
There have been a few reports of
petty thefts of small baggage and bun
dles, but nothing of great value has
been taken. The weather has cleared
up and it was cloudless today. This
is the Ideal picking weather and
weather which will not hurt the hops.
There has been an attempt to start
trouble among the workers, the worst
of which was a letter in the Portland
News Friday night, which was pur
ported to be from some one In this
city, and which contained misrepresen
tations. The police and Sheriff's office
are prepared to meet any trouble that
might arise and will arrest any one
who attempts to start trouble among
the pickers.
DE K0VEN GETS RUSSELL
Former Master of Kearney Military
Academy Goes to Taooma.
1L N. Russell, for many years head
master of Kearney Military Academy
at Kearney, Neb., has been appointed to
fill the same position at DeKoven Hall,
the well-known training school for
boys at South Tacoma.
Mr. Russell's long experience and
ability have greatly strengthened the
teaching force of DeKoven Hall. He
will enter upon his new duties with
the opening of the fall term, Septem
ber 18.
Since Its establishment 21 years ago,
DeKoven Hall has acquired an envia
ble reputation as an educational Insti
tution preparing boys either for active
business life or for higher education.
The school is located on the shores ot
Lake Steilacoom. From the grounds
an excellent view of the Olympio and
Cascade ranges is obtainable.
IeKoven Hall is nine miles from Ta
coma and a mile and a half from Lake
View on the Northern Pacific Railway.
OLD INDICTMENTS DUG UP
!w of Ancient Findings Expecaed to
Resnlt In Prosecution.
All indictments returned prior to
1912. which have not been disposed of
by the courts, were gathered up by one
of County Clerk Coffey's deputies yes
terday and turned over to Chief Deputy
District Attorney Magulre. Mr. Coffey
says he found between 400 and S00 in
dictments which had not been finally
disposed of. and in many cases the de
fendants had not been arrested. Some
of these dated back to 1903.
Mr. Maguire will examine the mass of
true bills and determine which should
be dismissed and on which ones there
remain chances to prosecute. It is
probable that nearly all of the Indict
ments will be dismissed. Mr. Coffey
dug them up as part of an effort to
bring the records of his office up to
date.
Captive Elk May Be Freed.
Although the City Commissioners and
Park Superintendent Mische are averse
to selling Nero, the Washington Park
lion, there is a good chance that
Roosevelt, the big elk confined at the
park, may fare better. The officials
are considering setting htm at liberty
In the forests, because of illness which.
It Is alleged, is due to his long confine
ment. A veterinarian examined -him
yesterday and recommended that he be
freed. Roosevelt has been a park cap
tive 15 years. Every Fall he refuses
to eat for days at a time.

Sixth Annual Jaunt of Hunt
Club Ends at Gearhart.
BIT OF TRAIL DANGEROUS
Muddy Roads and One Bncklng
Horse Fall to Quench Enthusiasm
of Women In Party of 14 All .
Declare Journey Success.
With Just enough rain to give them
one uncomfortable day's ride and a
mountain trail Just dangerous enough
n spots to furnish thrills and Winter
gossip material, the sixth annual Jaunt
of 14 members of the Hunt Club, which
enfied at Gearhart a little more than
week ago, was one grand success.
The 14 riders and the dog left Portland
Saturday morning and tbe first leg of
the Journey was Forest Grove. Sun
day the riders experienced a touch o'
weather, for it rained all day.
It -takes more than rain or muddy
roads to discourage a member of the
Hunt Club. Not one of the riders com
plained of the weather, or of the fa
tigue. Sunday night the riders stopped
at a ranch. Wet and weary they were
after making a Jaunt of 30 miles, but
the farmer's wife made the men and
women folks of the party comfortable
for the night and the farmer cared for
the horses. From this ranch they rode
to Tillamook making another 30-mlle
ride. At this point a rest of one day
was taken.
Ud to this time the only thrilling
incident of the trip happened In Port
land on the morning of the start, when
one of the horses ridden by a woman
bucked a little. The horse bucked on
a lawn and stopped and the rider was
able to dismount without -accident.
From Tillamook the riders shipped by
boat to Bay Ocean, where the ride was
resumed, and the next stop was at Ne
halem. Up to this -time the trail had
been fine, but from Nehalem to Gear
hart was the worst part ot tbe trail.
Part of the road passes over marshy
bottom. On this road a .horse ridden

AUDITORIUM PLAN OFFERED
Prnnoaed BnlldlnsT Would HoUSC
Historical Society, Art Mnsenm.
For the use of the Greater East Side
CJub, L. M. Lepper is having some ten
tative plans of a combination audi
torium drawn, which will include an
auditorium on the first floor, the quar
ters for the Oregon Historical Society
and the Art Museum above the audi
torium." The structure, or auditorium
part, covers a apace 204x280 feet, leav
ing 180 feet for lawn, a full two-blocka
being occupied. To the top of the
flagataff the height will be 244 feet.
Above the auditorium the part for the
Oregon Historical Society will occupy
a space 114x60 feet, and then above
this is another story. building
proper will be seven stories high, and
the cost Is estimated at S4S0.O00. So
far only an outline of the combination
building has been prepared. The audi
torium will be large enough to seat a
total of 13.000. and there will be sev
eral smaller halls in. the combination
structure. A local architect will work
out the details when blue prints will
be made for exhibition among the
clubs. Mr. Lepper plans to show that
all three, the auditorium, the Oregon
Historical Society, and the Museum of
Art can all be combined in one build
ing covering two blocks at little more
expense than a single structure with
only an auditorium. He then will sub
mit the tentative plans as shown by
the blue prints to the club and civic
organisations, and urge their support
of the acheme.
BRANCH STATIONS IS PLAN
Police Department Proposes to Rent
Two East Side Buildings.
' The clamor made by police chiefs
In Portland for the last decade for
jranch police stations is to be heeded
at last and this week the City Com
mission will take up the matter in
earnest.
With the reduction in city salaries
now being made it is believed branch
stations can be maintained without
straining the municipal finances too
much.
The plan la to have a captain or
aerreant In charge at each station
and to have the city districted so that
every patrolman on the beat must re
port to hla respective station. Con
stant telephone communication from
the branches to the main office will
keep Chief Clark in touch with the
entire city.
It Is not the Intention to construct
buildings at present or to have either
of the two proposed branches used as
lockups, but to rent two buildings and
have the men arrested in the branch
districts first taken to the branch and
then to headquarters, in tbe auto
patrol.
At a conference tnis weeic Detween
the City Commissioners, Chief Clark.
Captains Baty, Kliey ana mover ana
the other police officials, detailed plans
will be worked out.
BAKERIES TO BE SCANNED
City Health Office to Watch for Un
clean Conditions.
Following- Inspection by deputies un
der City Health Officer Marcellua. ra
aulting in the discovery ot Insanitary
bakeries and restaurants, the health
office will keep a close watch hereafter
for unclean conditions. The deputies
found one bakery on the East Side
where the flour was kept uncovered In
the stable and where rye bread was
being sold so full of worms that the
deputlea reported that no fisherman In
that vicinity ever need dig worms, but
could buy a 6-cent loaf of tbe bread.
Dr. Marcellus' office force is work
ing on the card Index syatem, by which
every bakery and restaurant In the
city will be tabulated and frequent re
ports on lta condition made.
