In spite of the apparent decrease In the possibility of war with Mexico, recruits tor the proposed Gantenbeln volunteer regiment are reported to he Klgninsr P in considerable number. Reports made yesterday by tthoee . In charge of recruiting- were that a total of 910 men had been actually enrolled In the different companies which are being organized in various sections of the state. The reports made yesterday by com panies are as follows: Captain Roy W. Kesl's company, com posed of members of the Fire Bureau, 114 men. Captain A. W. Orton's' company, 92 men. Captain Richard Deich's company, composed largely of officers of the Police Bureau, 77 men. Multnomah Club company. Captain Paul Hathaway, 70 men. Roseburg company. Captain Haynes, 43 men.

Captain Jay H. Upton, 69 men.' Klamath Falls, and Lake view com pany, 53 men. Others Are Unaasiirned. The remainder of the 910 men, who have thus far"sfgned up, include those who are as yet unassigned to any spe cif ic organization except what is known as the headquarters organization. This Includes the headquarters company in eluding the band, the sanirary com pany, the machine gun company and the supply company, all of which will be organized In Portland. No report was available, yesterday from the Ashland and Medf ord com pany, to be Jieaded by Captain Thorn ton. - The machine gun company, composed of four officers and 53 enlisted men, will be partially recruited from the employes of the Portalnd Railway Light & Power Company and parti cularly from men who are employed in the machine shops or as motormen and who are experienced in the handling of machinery. The captain of this company has not yet been selected. Other officers, how ever, will be: First Lieutenant A. A. Alleni who served In the British artil lery in the Boer War; Senior Second Lieutenant R. C Bishop, who served as First Lieutenant of the Texas Light Artillery, and who has-been several years in Mexico, and Junior Second Lieutenant A. W. Worthen, who has a six years' , creditable National Guard rerord In this state. This organization is being perfected with the approval of F. S. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway, Light i Power Company. Salem pastor Chaplain. After considering about 15 applica tions for the position of chaplain of the. regiment, Rjf. James Elvin. of Haleni. was selected for the post. He is now serving his second year as pastor of, the Congregational jhurch at Salem and is in charge of the relief work for Company M, Third Infantry, now at the front. Requisitions for arms, uniforms and equipment now are being prepared for a lull regimental organization and will be completed by the middle of the week. The organization will be merely tentative. It has been suggested by some of the company commanders that they im mediately proceed with drilling, but this has been discouraged because of the difficulty of enforcing attendance ' and maintaining disclipine. Married men are being discouraged from volunteering as enlisted men, as tholr , pay would not be sufficient to support their families and there seem to be enough single men to recruit up the regiment. CROP DELAYS RESERVOIR D,000,0OO-GAl,LOX PROJECT HAS TO WAIT FOR HARVEST. Oregon City Water Department Now la on Caab Basis, Having Hida Profit on Bond Deal. ORKGON CITY. Or.. July S. (Spe cial.)

The water board bought four acres of ground in the Mountain Vfew district for a reservoir site.

HOPE LIES 111 WEST Star of Suffrage Looms Be yond Rockies, Says Worker. HAZARDOUS TRAIL TAKEN Xew York Women Scorn Presence of Man on Auto Trip" Across Conti nent In Campaign to Help Ex tend Ballot to Their Sisters. "The fate of National suffrage rests with the women of the West," says Mrs. Alice Snitger Burke, of N ew York. That Is one reason why she and her co worker. Miss Nell Richardson, also of New, York.. came dashing Into Portland early yesterday morning in a saucy little chrome yellow motorcar, bedecked with the "keys" of the various cities they have visited and "Votes for Wom en" banners. Mrs. Burke and Miss Richardson, have made a hazardous auto triD from New York City through the South and Cali fornia to Portland to spread, the doc trine of suffrage They are heart and soul In the work and- have had a risky nut eventful trip, in which they have traveled through every border state in America. They will return bv auto and will cover 57 states before the trip is ended. Sooth Not Lost to C'uh, "The idea that the South is bitter against suffrage Is all wrong," said Mrs. Burke. "The Southern men will give their women th ballot any time they want It." , In the East," salJ Mrs. Burke, "it's harder. We have labor conditions. politics and corruption to contend with. res, the Eastern women, must look to the West. There rests the hope of Na tional suffrag." Although Miss Richardson is also a suffrage- speaker, she confines her opinions to the platform and bubbles about the trip. She laughs over the times that they have lain -under the car on the hot desert sands of Texas and New Mexico and adjusted bolts and screws. No, indeed; she didn't see any need of a man along to spoil the trip. J o took ac me gay little car that has made the -trip, no one would suppose there was much in it besides the two suffrage workers. But the truth is that when they began their trip they stacked in everything they might need. A tiny sewing machine, a typewriter. electric iron, kodak, evening gowns, ten shirtwaists, four dinner and after noon dresses, lingerie, stockings, sweaters, blankets and, lots of other things are carried. To the four winds goes the super- stition that "a black cat Is a hoodoo.1 Their's isn't. For a jet-black cat. Saxon, their mascot, has ridden from New York to Portland on top of the seat. Sometimes when their car had sunk to hubs in the sand In the deserts they walked to nearby town for assist ance, but they have put on tires and fixed their car over and over again. "Once in New Mexico," said Miss Richardson, "wo were stuck Just couldn't move. It was 8 o'clock and night was falling. We took the re volver, our water bag and the cat and waiKea five miles to town. That was only one of their experi ences, but they are happy over them. They will remain in Portland until Tuesday morning and then go to Se attle and Bast by way of Montana. A rather extensive campaign of South Dakota will be made; then they will go Last to New York again. The suffrage work is quite new to Miss Richardson, but Mrs. Burke has been at it for the past six years. For 165 consecutive days she spoke every night in New York City from 8 until 12, later touring the state.- Both Miss Richardson and Mrs. Burke say that the doctrine of votes for women is winning favor everywhere. "Both. men and women Tiave ceased to regard Jt as 'new-fangled.' and most of them regard it as necessary, says Mrs. Burke. "If only some of you Western, women would go back and speak and show some of the Kastern men that suffragettes are not mon strosities, the cause would progress faster. RIVER DOWN TO 23 FEET Cascade Locks AV111 Be Operated Tomorrow. Gradually the Wilamette River is ex periencing the influence of less head water in the Columbia and is falling, the decline for 24 hours at 6 o'clock last night being three-tenths of a foot. The Cascade Locks will be reopened tomorrow for - the passage of steam era, according to a message from there yesterday, and the steamer Bailey Gat- sert will be started from Portland in the morning on her first through- trip for more than 10 days. - By the end of the week the entire fleet may re sume. Elks' Club Awning Burns. An awning fire at S8 and. 90 Broad way. "the Elks' Clu building, sum moned the fire department at 4 o'clock yesterday af tecnoon. Owing to the fact that much confetti, debris of the Rose Festival, had lodged in the folds the awning,, the fire smouldered for some' minutes before It was extln guis-hed. Both awnings were partially burned ana ruined. A GROUP OF OREGON FOLK WHO REPRESENT FOUR GENERATIONS. Ousting Order Is Stayed. An order staying the writ of restitu tion given C B.

Hard upon the "Age of Steel," comes this new Epoch - in World ' History. As the Forest3 went down before the Woodman's Axe, Steel rose up to take the place of Wood, with a huge additional field of its own. As the Ranch, and open Cattle Ranges, yield to the Farm, bo the Source of Supply for Leather recedes, while the population, which must wear Shoes, increases. Here steps in RUBBER, with a fast growing production, on Plantations, ready to replace Leather, in the near future, at a lower cost, for better service, plus a thou sand uses of its own. When Raw Rubber reaches that level of Cost which the huge expansion of Rubber Plantations predicates, a myriad uses will be added to those inr which the present relatively limited supply is now consumed. Because, Rubber is such an adaptable -material that it is capable of not only substi tuting the most important of Failing Mater ials, which (like' Leather) are disastrously lessening in production but, it already enters into scores of forms that touch the life of every person today. , . v H ERE anrl Rubber Supply. i3 a Barometer, of present prospective, expansion in .

That -is what lifts the Rubber Industry out of the hard-bound limitations of the Leather-working Industry, and other In dustries dependent upon a receding supply of Raw Material for an increasing Population. The World should be vastly interested in' a Sound, Dependable, and Scientific expansion of the RUBBER Industry. . . " - . IT is the wide comprehension of Rubber FUTURES which makes the B. F. Goodrich Co. so CAREFUL that the Symbol of the House, (that Goodrich Trade-Mark " which i3 pictured at top of this column) shall never be placed on an unworthy Rubber-product. It 13 that Trade-Mark (of the House of Goodrich), which protects the Purchaser of Rubber-Goods, when he looks for it on any Rubber-Article, and recognizes it as the SIG NATURE and BOND of the 47 -year -old Concern which here writes itself down as keenly alive to the importance.of TOMORROW, in the Rubber field. It is the clear Vision of that great 'Tomor row" which prompts the B. F. Goodrich Co. to (for instance) price its TIRES so far BELOW figures which the QUALITY of these Tires could command when their PERFORM ANCE is compared with that of otiier Tires listed at 15yfc to 50yt higher prices. WILL you, from this "Spoti light " on Goodrich Aims and Ideals, understand that Good rich Tires are PURPOSELY made the BEST Fabric Tires that the largest Rubber Factory in the World can produce at ANY price ? i Will you realize, from it, that when you pay more than the Goodrich Fair-List prices here quoted, for ANY Fabric Tire, you are NOT getting "BETTER" Tires? Will you assist in making that great "To morrow" of the "Rubber Age" MORE helpful to all Humanity, by encouraging NOW the fair and MODERATE prices for Tires, and Rubber Goods, that Goodrich "sets the pace' on today?
