WILL ASK MAYOR TO
PROVIDE
Municipal Judge Hogue and Deputy
City Attorney Fitzgerald will call on
Mayor Williams tomorrow snd ask him
to re-establish the city's rock pile.
As published recently In The Jour

want the rock pile established In order
that the large number of vagrants who
find their way In court and are found
guilty may be punished sufficiently to
make them dread the city.
"We must have the rock pile," says
Mr. Fitigerald. "It Is absolutely nec

jail sentences, and when it was In
operation we had far less of that class

That John R. Foster is competent to
look after his own affairs is the de
cision reached by County. Judge Web
ster after considering the petition filed
for the' vacation of the order appointing
B. O. Whltahouae his guardian. Mr.
Printer was a member of the old" nrm of
Foster & Robinson, and Is one of the
best known pioneers in the city. The
opinion .of the court la important, as it
governs the disposition of property val
ued at 140,000.
Elisabeth Foster died in December,
1(02. leaving property valued at 115,000.
It was left to her husband. John R. Fos
ter, at his death to be- received by her
niece. Mrs. Dora Savage, and Mrs. Sav
age's daughter Elisabeth. With the
property he already owned, Mr. Foster's
estate was worth about $126,000.
Shortly afterward Homer Sanborn pe
titioned the court for the appointment
of a guardian, declaring that Mr. Foster
was old and feeble and Incompetent to
manage his affairs. B. O. Whltehouse
was appointed guardian by Judge Web
ster, and J. W. Cook, who had the legal
status of "next friend" to Mr. Foster,
began suit for the nullification of a deVd
to property valued at 40.000. executed
by Mr. Foster in favor of Mrs. Savage.
A petition was then filed for the vaca

that had I understood the facts thor
oughly, one never would have been ap
pointed. I wish it understood that the
guardian is not discharged, as that
would convey the idea that one should
have been appointed and that Mr. Foster
has alnce that time regained his mental
faculties sufficiently enough to man
age his own affairs, which Is not the
idea at all.
"A great deal of testimony haa been
taken, both expert and otherwise, in
this case. It is largely conflicting. It
Is a very difficult thing to determine

With this decision goes the under

ON LOCAL OPTION
The executive committee of the Ore
gon State Prohibition alliance has is
sued an address to that portion of the
public which has sympathised with the
alliance, urging that they call for a
county vote in every county in Oregon
under the local option law, with the
purpose of bringing out the strength of
the movement. They do not favor rais
ing the prohibition Issue by precincts,
but only on county tickets. They say:
"To line up every voter in the state
on a yes or no vote will enable us to
swing at least 20 counties for prohibi
tion, and will be productive of more
thought and discussion on the question
than would hundreds of speeches. Acting
on this line, Multnomah county has al
ready filed her petition for a county vote.
We may not carry the county, but the
agitation will be great. Every voter
will be brought face to face with the
question, and every precinct that carries
for prohibition will have prohibition.
In this fight, which shall be to a finish,
we shall have no harsh nor unkind words
for the liquor dealer. The battle Is not
with him. It Is with the license pol
icy now through the ballot -enthroned
in government."
The prohibition movement in Oregon
thus far has been carried on by the
party through an organisation which
they call "the state alliance," the policy
of which differs from that of the regu
lar party, for the reason that the pro
hibitionists have been willing to com-
1 promise in this way with the modera
tion element, xney now propose to car
ry on a vigorous campaign for the na
tional prohibition ticket, and to do this
they must call for a vote by counties oil
the direct issue of prohibition or
license. The officers of the alliance
are: President. J. P. Newell. Port
land; first vice-president, E. R. Bradley.
Hood River; second vice-president, S. U.
Downs, Portland! third vice-president,
F. B- Rutherford. McMlnnvllle; secre
tary. W. W. Morse. Portland; treaaurer,
K. McKercher. Portland. '
Lee Paget, a; local leader, said today:'
It Is not our gturpose this year to
organise any local or county fights
specifically for attaining immediate
prohibition. We are .doing the present
work to roll up the largest possible vote
for the national ticket of the prohibi
tion party this fall. After that we will
go to work to secure local prohibition
wherever possible. We will file peti
tions for Multnomah county today, and
the alliance will see to It that similar
petitions are filed In every county In
the state where there Is an alliance or
ganisation."
I. H. Amos said: "We have not yet
organisations in every county, and we
prefer to put In our efforts at this time
in counties, where there is a prohibi
tion organisation. So far we are ad
vised there will be no petitions filed In
Clatsop, Lake, Klamath, Harney, Cur
ry, Malheur or Grant counties this
year."
NAY BUILD SECOND
IRRIGATION DITCH
(Special Bl 'patch to The Journal.)
Hood River. Or.. Aug. 1. A move
ment Is on foot for the construction of
a second large Irrigation system for
Hood River valley. Those farmers
whose lands cannot be reached by the
farmers' Irrigation canal have started a
movement for the formation of a bond
ing district for the purpose of raising
funds for building a ditch that will
bring out water sufficient to Irrigate
14.000 acres not now reached by water.
At a meeting of the farmers of the
upper west side last night a petition
was framed for presentation to the
county court asking for the creation of
a bonding' district, ss prescribed by the
Oregon irrigation law. Fifty signatures
were secured ror tne petition. An er
fort will be made to vote oh the propo
sition this fall.
The proposed ditch is estimated to
cost $100,000. This Is about 110 for
each acre of land to be benefited by the
ditch. Taking 20 years for payment. It
Is estimated that the cost for water
will be II an inch during that time,
with free water at the end of !0 years.
The farmers Interested In the project
are determined to have the water, and
after a thorough Investigation of the
matter believe the bonding proposition
the most feasible. The ditch bought
up by the farmers of the lower valley
last winter is giving entire satisfaction.
It Is supplying water to about 150 pa
trons. ZA GRANDE BELT BAXXWAY.

SPOKANE ORDINANCE
WILL RUIN SCALPERS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
Spokane. Wash.. Aug. If. The city
council has Anally passed the antl-scalp-lng
ordinance, which prohibits brokers
from dealing in non-transferable rail
road tickets. They must also pay a
yearly license of (150.
The ordinance is planned to ruin the
scalpers' business here, and was passed
at the Instigation of the railways, tbs
chamber of commerce and the interstate
fair leaders. The attorney for the Ot
tlnger ticket office threatens to bring
suit to enjoin the chief of police and
the mayor from enforcing the ordinance.
Railroads say that If ticket scalping
la permitted, Spokane cannot be given
homeseekers' rates, nor stopover privi
leges, nor one-fare rates to the fairs, be
cause It Interferes so seriously with
railroad business. The chamber of com
merce thinks the passage of this bill
will be worth thousands of dollars 'every
year.
PREACHER PRAISES '
CHURCH LOYALTY
Rev. J. J. Straub of this city created
something of a sensation In an address
before the Congregational association at
San Francisco by declaring that San
Francisco and Oakland were afflicted
with a disease thai might be termed
"the central." This, he explained, was a
sort of popular mania for attending
only the services of the biggest an
most attractive church in town.
The people of Portland, he said, had
not become victims of the one big cen
tral church Idea. They are loyal to
their own pastors, he said, and felt a
personal obligation In maintaining their
respective churches.
'The Congregational church Is strong
In the north." he said, "and It Is ad
vancing on aggressive lines. The Con
gregational college has set the standard
of studies for the' Oregon State univer
sity." At the association the Rev. Dr. Want
ner of Salem also spoke of the growth
and scope of Congregational work in
Oregon.

THE STATE FAIR
(Special Dta patch to Ths Journal )
Salem. Or.. Aug. If. The various days
at the state fair are to be aa follows:
Monday Is opening day; Tuesday Is
Woodmen's dsy; Wednesday la to be
Salem day; Thursday is Portland day;
Friday Is Children's day and Saturday is
closing day.
Especially interesting will do doubt be
Portland day, when the metropolis will
send thousands of visitors to the fair. It
is said that this will be done by the peo
ple of Portland because they are In ex
pectation of a great attendance from Sa
lem and the valley towns at the Lewis
and Clark fair next year and the people
of Portland believe In reciprocity. Wed
nesday is to be Salem day and the mayor
of the city will be asked to, issue a proc
lamation to the business men and every
body else requesting them that on that
day they all lay aside their business and
other cares and all attend the fair.
On "Suesday the Woodmen of the
World will have an exhibition drill In
the Interests of their order, and on Fri
day, which is children's day. the little
tots will be allowed the run of the
grounds free, but it is quietly whis
pered that their papas and mamas
are expected to turn out In sufficient
numbers on that day to make up for the
largeness of heart of the management
shown to the children. The boys from
the reform school and the young people
from the Indian school and the bands
from those Institutions will also be
present on that auspicious occasion.

successful fair In every way.

Yesterday SB cents was practically
paid for 10,000 pounds of hops of the
new crop. There seems to be reason to
believe the crop will not exceed 85,000
bales in Oregon.
HOP GROWERS NOT
ANXIOUS TO SELL
(Special Dispatch to The Journal 1
nervals, Or.. Aug. If. Offers of $100
per acre for the growing hop crop are
plentiful, and only In a few Instances are
they being accepted. Estimating such
yards at 1.000 pounds and picking and
curing at 6 cents a pound brings the to
tal cost of a pound of hops to If cents
or less, and growers who have yards to
sell prefer to hold and thus make the
profit themselves.
It is thought that the ruling price of
hops will be 26 cents and- upward a
pound. Growers sre, ss a rule, full
handed so far as money Is concerned.
When dealers cannot contract, and
make 1100 offers sn acre, it is a pretty
good sign that the price of hops will
be high and the total yield large. Lice
have not yet put in an appearance.

even now, snd portend on excellent qual

Pendleton, Aug. It. The results of
Portland's moral house cleaning are be
ing felt in Pendleton, where gamblers,

Gambling- Is running wide open. There
are three large establishments conducted
In the rear of Main street saloons, and
at least a doxen smaller places. Not
since the days when Mayor T. O. Halley
forced the women of the tenderloin to
remain within doors has the town been
so "wide open." Day and night the
click and whirr of the roulette and the
wheel of fortune can be heard even to
the street.
It has been less than three months
since Pendleton was considered closed.
On the first of last July, when T. Ck
