Sept. 18. The moat startling discovery was made this morning that last night a gang of desperadoes who are believed to be pals of Thomas, the alleged murderer of Policeman Bchane man, had planned to storm providence hospital where Thomas is being treated But for the watchful care of the slatera on night duty the plans would probably have been carried out. However, an alarm was sent to the police station at o'clock this morning that suspicious men were In the grounds and fear was entertained. A detail of police was dispatched at once, and the attempt frustrated.

In the outside sections of the munlcl pality the old metal plate signs have either been torn down, or the lettering has become Indistinct through the ac tion of the weather, and the stranger must often seek Information from near by residences or corner stores. This Is frequently a source of considerable worry and annoyance. Visitors who are not familiar with the streets are frequently at a loss to know where to go because the name n1ta r ahaent Thr am minv ' places in the suburbs where the de structive small boy baa put the ma jorlty of the signs out of commission, and 'when a. stranger in the city goes through these sections looking for a particular place it is almost like the futile hunt for the proverbial needle. There are few cities in the country, the sum of Portland, that do not have a street aign law and there is consid erable discussion aa to why an ordl - nance has never been passed here. It Is generally conceded It is becoming ab solutely necessary to see that proper signs are in place at the Intersection of every thoroughfare within the city lim its and are kept in place for the benefit of visitors and citlsens who are not familiar with the different streets. - Owing to ths absence of any street ' sign ordinance, except the law govern ing the cement sidewalk district Port- land s suouroan streets are aimosi en tirely without signs designating the ' 'names or t'te tnorougn tares, inn con d it Ion has aroused general complaint - and requeats are being made that the situation be remedied. It is the Inten tion of petitioners to ask the authorities to pass a law making provision for the proper signs naming all the streets In the city outside of the cement district. City Xnglaaea? Zs Powerless. City Engineer Elliott was asked about Viivnlahlnv atffna when thev wjtrt now X mlasing and aald while he realised the ! need of the signs there was no law which provided for such an emergency. - "It haa alwaya been the custom for wooden walk streets. " he explained. ("but It has not been required by ordi nance. The absence of such signs at many points' around the city haa been reported to this office many times, but we have v had no money available for such an expense without special action .from the council, and there has been no ' pressing demand until within the last few weeks." ' , The aetlon referred te by Mr. Elliott . would be an appropriation to cover the 0nae of the aigna and that, it ia thought, will be soon forthcoming as th amount needed la Inconsiderable. ' Tb only ord lnanca existing, relative valley and Gunnison river run parallel to each other, only a few miles apart. the former being a broad fertile valley, but poorly supplied with water, prac tically all settled, and the latter a stream of considerable slse, flowing through a deep and rugged canyon, al most inaccessible to man. This region was first explored py Capt 3. W. Gunnison in 1853. and was opened for settlement in tsei. oince that time a number of efforts have been made to explore the Grand canyon of the Gunnison and to utilize the water of the river, the most notable of the earlier efforts being those made by the engineers of the Denver at Rio Grande railroad, and by some of the residents of the valley. The hvdrographlo branch of the United States geological survey has been studying the different phsses of this project for some years and has made surveys which demonstrate Its feasi bility. Both the canyons and the val ley have been thoroughly explored and mapped, and it is shown that approxi mately 160.000 acres of land can be re claimed. To accomplish this result, a tunnel six miles in length and about 90 miles of canal will have to be con structed, at a , coat approximately of 22,600,000. In the meantime the land owners have organised a water users' angulation for the purpose of co-operating with the government. Stock haa been subscribed to the amount of about 70,000 acres, and the subscriptions .are still coming in. The situation Induces hope that all requirements will soon have been complied with, and that con struction ean be commenced at an early date. Xexioaa Band Did It. The fight for the location of the 1904 meeting was the hottest ever seen In an Irrigation congress. The El Paso brass band, with members In Mexican hats, captured the convention. Out of a total of S63 votes El Paso gained 206, Bqjse 147 find St. Joseph 112. Idaho, seconded by Oregon, made the election of El Paso unanimous. The general sentiment was warmly expressed by the opposition to Bols? that Portland must have the 1906 meeting. The report of committees- on resolu tions will precipitate a hot fight. The greatest contentions of the congress on the committee's report is to be on reso lutions asking the national congress to repeal the desert land, timber and stone acts, and enact a commutation clause on the homestead law. Among the de fenders of this resolution is Senator Gibson of Montana and George H. Max- wen. Some hops is entertained in com promising by the adoption of the reso lution of Sam White to , demand a better administration of these-laws, but not to repeal them.

Shields was walking along leis urely; having about 280 In his possession. Wednesday feeing pay day, when he was accosted by a burly-looking Individual who stood In the popular pitchers' path, in an effort to stop him. At the same time a signal was "given by the footpad, calling for a pal who was a block dis tant. This sort of business did not look good to Charlie, so he started on a dead sprint up Vaughn street to Twenty fourth, over Twenty-fourth to Thurman street, where he rushed breathless Into the corner saloon, told of his experience. and incidentally deposited his cash until th following day. Shields was slightly worked up over th experience, and stated that he would have welcomed a "go" with -one of the would-be robbers, but he failed to appreciate the sensation of tackling two or three. Where the Intended hold-up took place Is an excellent spot for highwaymen to ply' their nightly worn, and more than one pedeatrlan has fallen Into the clutches of the prowlers. The police cannot do effective work In that lo cality on account of the ifculiar condi tions of the country, they being unfor tunately conductive to the workings of the highwaymen. Shields would have been an easy mark for the Satellites yes terday, had he gone Into the box, as he was extremely nervous. Yesterday Charlie purchased a lantern and some thing else, and unlike Diogenes of his tory, will go around nights looking for dishonest men. - ' ' v: I I I II ' 1 ' : : . . ..v CXAJtyES SB2XLDS. rortiand pitcher who waa held ap I Wednesday night and stole a base oal th footpad and slid horn.

He goes in time to settle himself and family in their winter quarters be fore the special session of congress, which begins on November 9. Senator Fulton will live at the Cochran or the Shoreman, probably at the latter. Speaking of the Lewis and Clark fair bill which the Oregon delegation will be expected to offer for enactment into law, Senator Fulton expressed the de termination to work for the measure with what vigor and Influence h has, but doubted that they could secure the 82.000,000 for which the bill asks. How ever, when the delegation of senators and representatives get into conference with th members of the committees that will go from the two Lewis and Clark fair bodies and ways and means are devised for the furtherance of the bill, the desired amount may be secured. OAKLAND DENTIST IS ROAMING THE HILLS Joseph Slmmlok Qoe Violently Zasan Wall Oat Camping and Drive Fellow Campers to Cover. (Journal Special Service.) Martines, Cal.. Sept. 18. Dentist Jo seph Dimmlck, prominent in Oakland, Is roaming the Contra Costa hills rav ing mad. He was camping with his wife and a party of friends when he suddenly grew violent and attacked the rest of the party with an ax driving them away and then made a rush at hta wife who narrowly escaped being badly wounded. After obtaining assistance, from the party she returned, but no trace of the Insane man could be found. Mra. A. H. Breyman. member of the state commission of the Florence Crit- tenton Refuse Home, has called a Joint meeting 0 the comminsioners and the board of managers for next Monday afternoon. The conference will be held at Mrs. Breyman's residence, 866 Has- salo street. Members of - both boards were notified yesterday afternoon by telephone of the coming meeting. One of the matters to be discussed. It Is said. Is the contention of certain members of the two boards that Mra. Anna R. Rlggs, superintendent,' give up her downtown office and remain at the Home. The commissioners have ob jected to paying the aalary of 260 a month to Mrs. Rlggs as superintendent, but a member of the board of manag ers aald that if Mrs. Rlggs were to take up her residence- at the noma this ob jection would be withdrawn. The reason assigned for the down town- office is that Mrs. Rlggs' duties are not the caring for the inmates of the home, but the looking after outside matters, such as finding places for the girls after they leave the shelter and keeping In touch with them. I do not know Just what the man agers Intend doing, said Mrs. Rlggs today, "and have not been informed as to the exact nature of the coming conference."

NEW GAMBLERS BARRED BY CITY AUTHORITIES The policy of the present regime is to permit houses of chance to operate upon the payment of a certain sum Into the city treasury per month. But it Is evi dent that the authorities believe that Portland haa her share of roulette games, faro banks and other games of chance for four men who tried to open up the Cactua, on Sixth street, were given a quiet tip not to begin business. Driven from Washington by the vigor ous anti-gambling law now in force in that state, Twalte and Parker, gamblers of Spokane, came to Portland and agreed to purchase the Cactus from Tom Wil llama and Martin Reddy. The price was to be 812,000 and the first installment of 21,000 had already been paid. The bal ance was due September 21. Their plans were to conduct a pool robm on the ground floor and on the upper floor a gambling house. Williams & Reddy asked for partnership and were ad mitted. But the city administration had not been reckoned with. The ministers and good citlsens were criticising the may or's poiwy regarding the gambling ques tion and the sporting men were told that their house would not be opened. No amount of argument or influence could change the decision and as a result the sporting men are out about 81,000. Chief of Police Hunt expressed grave surprise this morning when he was asked regarding the matter. He said that he had never heard of It.

It is composed df three divisions comprising California, Oregon and Washington. We expected to have a fight on our hands and or ganised rather hastily, but the sched uled strike did not come off. The dlvls Ions have drifted apart somewhat, main taining no central board the present, as we did on the start Our local organization is still in force, however, and we Intend to keep it in tact. In the event of a strike we in tend to be prepared to meet It. But I anticipate no immediate trouble of any Kind. "The only effect that a strike among the machlnista In the East would nave upon us would probably be to fill up the country with mechanics, and it ia possible that we would get them to work for us at a cheaper scale than now paid.
