URATED Fifty police officers soon will be detailed by Mayor Baker to arrest what the mayor classes aa "vicious" traffic offenders. Automobiles of various makes and types, including broken-down "flivvers" and high priced speedsters, will earry the men about the city on this detail, Decision to make a concentrated Arive to eliminate dangerous viola tions of traffic regulations was reached yesterday. Mayor Baker said that the increase In the us of automobiles, and the apparent in crease in such violations as cutting corners, driving without lights, heavy trucks- dashing into buoy thoroughfares at high speed, and elmllar offenses, is endangering the lives of drivers of automobiles who are attempting to. comply with the regulations. Traffic Code Is Important. "The traffic code is hot a law," aid the mayor. "It ia regulation designed, to eafeguard the lives of both motorists and pedestrians. Of late there has been a growing dls respect for these regulations on the part of a few motorists and it Is time for the city to demonstrate that these regulations must be ob served. "I do not want to Inaugurate any radical plan -without first warning the public. If, after a warning, vio lations continue, there Is nothing to do but arrest the violators and jyrosecute them vigorously.

Mayor Baker did not state just when the new plan would be in augurated, but intimated that some time this week the men would be put on the new detail. At "J-jCjrT VISITORS on the Columbia river highway In the past years have looked longingly up Oneonta gorge and have gingerly picked tlfcir way up until they came to some precarious planks placed over the pools in the stream bed and have reluctantly turned back. For the past two years visitors have been surprised and pleased to find that they could walk dry-footed and safely over a trail that led them to the head of the gorge and to the beautiful unnamed falls that closes the end. It is true that the trail consists' of nothing but boulders picked from the bed of the creek and filled in with smaller rock, with log revet ments at' the points where the stream directs its full force against it, but visitors are appreciative of the amount of labor involved in its construction and maintenance. Wing dams of rock further divert the stream, and steps have been cut and trails incised in the basalt rock points that were baffling places in former years. This workwas done by the mem bers of the Trails club and they have devoted themselves to its maintenance as part of their annual programme. George L. Bickel, presi dent of the club, who was the father of the idea, led the strong-arm squad of men and women of the club to the gorge recently and put it in shape for the season. Last year the members cnt all the logs and drift in the gorge and the floods carried them out. Last winter's heavy snow, which blocked the gorge and tunneled the stream, took out the bridge over the big pool, shearing off three ! ' . b 1 i JL-J -fee &T-ri2iS. bolts set In the rock. The removal of the logs, however, removed the pools, as these were excavated by the water falling over them and this year no bridges are necessary. The trail will be open all summer quarter - Inch and until the fall high water. SlU -PICNIC FRIDAY AL KADER WILL BE HOST AT ANNUAL OUTING.

"The Oregonian and Hotel Port land are the only familiar build ings," said Mr. Underwood, yester day. "The Oregonian building does not look a day older than It did 28 years ago.

The first day I was here I tried to find the bank where I used to do business, but its doors long have been closed and new buildings stand on. its old location." RECOVERYSUIT .
