' The O'Leary fireproof and bombproof establishment at 4183-4185 South Hal sted street, built many years ago and remodeled several years ago as a fur ther precaution against police inter ference, never was subjected to a real raid from the police until recently, when Herman Schuettler, .assistant chief of police, was placed In charge of the gambling squadV- The history of the far-famed gam bling house at the entrance of the stockyards shows an endless number of attacks from the police, from fire and from throwers - of bombs in Its years of existence, without the dls- I co-very of a weak point until the recent lychuettler raid. ' Y Tne structure Is built along the lines 01 a areaanaugni. xts wans ox steel have made attacks by fire and dynamite futile, and the interior, a labyrinth of steel, has guarded successfully for years gaming operations of which the world knew but which the law could not touch. Soorns Volloe Protection. "Jim" O'Leary always Insisted that he had nothing but scorn for the pro tection the police oould offer, as his protection lay in his "house of steel." Another boast of the gambling king was that there never .was found other than a "square" game behind "Jim" O'Leary 's steel and police proof walls. The building is one of the most pre tentious in the stockyards district. From the street it appears to be a club. The legal uses of the establish ment are varied. A reading room is one of the features. The structure is of two stories, with a basement, the upper floors being equipped especially ' for the "police proof" gambling. The street entrance leads into a large barroom, from which patrons gain access to the different de partments. Including the gambling rooms, pool and billiard rooms, bowl ing alleys, Turkish and Russian bath rooms, the gymnasium, reading room and barber shop. Partitions Are of Steel. A broad staircase leads from the buffet to the second floor, where are the Impregnable gambling rooms which have made O'Leary famous. Partitions of steel, riveted to the heavy outside steel walls, are decorated to destroy their prison aspect. Ponderous steel doors lend more power to the building of Gibraltar characteristics. An Ingenious arrangement of electric ally operated signals and controls for the many doors leading to the big gambling room Is the crowning fea ture of O'Leary's place. It was a large item in the cost of the establish ment, . which is said to have been thousands of dollars more thtui the 860,000 figure which the retiring gam bler is willing to accept. In such a home O'Leary has for years conducted his extensive gambling oper ations, which have Included, according to his own story, every conceivable game in which man finds pleasure 'n staking his money. O'Leary held the concessions on all the big tracks. He was the master live Rlinutes Sometimes Make A Big Difference Jt You Are Suffering the Tortures of Indigestion and Have to Wait K Until Someone Huns to tho Drug Store for a Box of Tablets.

I think a small family la the best By that I mean i a .family of two or three children. I, don't believe the women of the tenemtl large families. In fact I know they don'.t. They are beginning to that their children are only born to die at once, become hopeless invalids or lead miserable Uvea of toll In factories at an age when they should be playing happily, surrounded by trees and grass, In the health-giving open fresh air.

With the wave of reform syhlch abol ished handbooks on race tracks O'Leary was hard hit Unwilling to play a losing game he fought the reform movement, with the result that he was indicted at different places. Asked yesterday the approximate number of fines he had paid for underlings O'Leary admitted that if he could tell he would be talking in big figures. O'Leary, although indicted, arrested and constantly the target of police at tacks, never was convicted and paid a remarkably slight number of fines on his own 'account.

Arnold Doyle and George Godfrey of Spokane, propose to link the Rogue River valley towns by electrio line con necting Grants Pass with Ashland and intermediate cities. They will apply for a city franchise within a short time. The proposed route from Granjs Pass via Applegate valley to Williams, Ruch, Jacksonville, Medford.

MISS FLEMING SPECIAL EXAMINER IN LAND SUIT It was announced by United States Judge WolVerton yesterday that Miss M. A. Fleming, Judge Wolverton's sten ographer, will be the special examiner for taking testimony in tbe Oregon & California land grant suit B. D. Town send, special assistant' to the attor ney general, announced that .he would ask for subpenas for the government's witnesses at once. It 1b probable he will begin to present the government's testimony about December 15. Judge Wolverton refused to allow the petition of a number of would-be in terveners in the southern Oregon land grant suit this morning. In denying the application for permission to in tervene, he said the . number of such cases In both this and the Oregon & California land grant suit) had become a . public scandal. Those who would appeal from his decision. are allowed to carry their case to the court of ap peals. 'i RESTRICT EMPLOYMENT OF: CHILDREN ON STAGE Children under 16 years of age will not be allowed to-be used on the local theatrical ' stages without consent of the juvenile court department. This was the dictum given all local theatres yesterday by Judge Gatens, head of tbe juvenile court department. " - In order to allow an act now on the program of the Orpheum ' theatre, the management of that " play house called - upon the " judge d asked permission to allow the perform ance of an act in which ' three babies are used. In the act under question, a woman . borrows three children under S years of age. : Considerable' criticism has been directed to tills act from per sons who have seen it, in which it is declared the children should not be made a money making tool; before the public. The judge has Instructed . the probation offioers to investigate all theatres and report any infraction " of this rule. w R SOUTHERN OREGON Dr. Abraham Jacobl, a world famous" practitioner and medical authority, is a firm believer In a small fam ily. Only the rich, according to Dr. Jacobl, should have large fam ilies, for they, only, have the money to rear a large family properly. "Have a large family by all means If you have the money to support a large family properly. Other wise, don't have but one or two chil dren." said the doctor. "I ' wish. Jacobl. "that I oo not advocate small In 1910 Oregon Had 40,000 Miles of Roads; $2,000, 000 Spent on Them. Though pregon has no up-to-date sys tem of road laws, sentiment engendered by a two years' campaign has resulted In doubling and frequently trebling the expenditure by counties, according to letters received by the state board of Immigration from county .'udges. Even in central Oregon, where the roads are longer and the money for their building scarcer than elswhere In the state, both Harney and Crook counties are spend ing three times as much on roads as last year.- The statements of the county judges are supported by figures furnished by T"t 17 11. A a . V. V. 4 t. way department at O. A. C, who was in Portland yesterday. "In 1904 Oregon had 85,000 miles of roads and spent 1800,000 in repair and construction," said Professor Ay res. $3,000,000 Spent In 1910. "In 1910, with 40,000 miles of road, Oregon spent 12,000,000 for repair and construction. "There is a greater and more intelli gent interest In highway building in Oregon now than ever before. Coun ties are buying more up-to-date road machinery. We are yet, of course, far behind the necessities of the state. A sum of $2,000,000 for 40,000 miles means but $50 per mile. Wherever the road is macadamized the expense runs from $3000 to $5000 a mile, and this shows that some of, the roads must still be neglected." Professor Ayres recently returned from a Journey over the route of the Capital Highway between Salem and Portland, which he made with George F. Rodgers, chairman of the Capital High way commission. He estimates. that the cash cost of building the road will be $80,000. CrlUolsm Is Heard. In addition, would be the convicts which Governor West will furnish for construction work, contributed stone and teams for hauling it. "I hear a great deal of criticism of the plan," said Professor Ayres, "The districts off the road say it is not right that money slicu'd be spent on a high way between Portland and the capital, but that it should be spent in the out lying districts. A thing they fail to understand la that ' only the road dis tricts along the route of the Capital Highway have been asked to raise the cash. We should be overjoyed were the complaining districts by special levy to raise money they need for. improvement of. their roads. But as long as the people of the districts -through which the road is to pass are Tilling to tax themselves for its cost, I really do not see where others have any right to com plain."
