Seymour. 1001 ; East Thirty-ninth street, has sent to the city councUal communication in which he urges that action be taken to change the names of lne east and west streets, from Francis avenue to - Woodstock , avenue, . to num bered avenues. He says : - "Everyone is in favor of chanting the street names to the avenue numbers as they would .read east from Forty-first avenue." ? He says the present streets bearing names other than avenues are really continuations of the avenues, and that much confusion results in calls for "police, firemen and physicians. r .'

RECLAMATION HANGS Ml I ON CONGRESS mm nil CHIEF OF POLICE FKE8EXTS PLANS FOB LARGER FORCE 'Chief of Police Jenkins presented to ' the city council Tuesday afternoon a special report on the proposed increase of police protection for Portland during the winter months. Mayor Baker ap pointed Commissioners Bigelow and Pier - as a special committee to consider this feport. - The recommendation of Jenkins is that 50 more uniformed men be added to the force to serve from October to ' March, and that two special squads be organized and placed under command of Lieuten ant Thatcher, one as an emergency auto and motorcycle squad and the other to , round up the undesirables as they ar rive in Portland. He made no estimate on the cost of the changes he proposed, , but urged that they would be effective t m preventing crime during a period when there is prospect . of rauch unemploy ' mcnt.

SIDEWALK WORK BEGUN A long-desired . public Improvement for the Linnton district was begun Wednes 'day the construction of more than one mile ' of cement sidewalk on St. Helens road, extending ' from the St , Johns ferry landing to existing sidewalks In Linnton. O. Lundstrom is the contractor and the cost will be about $15,000. The walk has been especially desired to safe guard children walking to school, and who have been forced to use the street on which there is heavy automobile traffic An. aftermath of the tragic wrecking of the steamship Alaska appeared at the courthouse today, when Mrs. Ella May Hutchinson made application In the pro- i bate court to be appointed as adminis tratrix of the estate of her daughter Mrs. Pauline Benham Johnson. It is set forth that Mrs. Johnson and her husband, W. I- Johnson, were both drowned August 6, when the Ill-fated steamer went on Blunts Reef, but that He was an invalid and in a weak and emaciated condition and unable to help himself, while she "was strong physi- calley and did actually survive her hus band, and thereafter was drowned. The estate consists of $550 worth of personal property and an unimproved lot in Tillamook county, from which there is no Income. .(OoatiMMd Tram Pf Om) FRV RESCUED AS Fl HHIER SINKS OBJECTS TO COOKING MEALS IN GARAGE; ASKS DITORCE Mrs. .Jane Elizabeth King seeks a di vorce from Milo C King, a Gresham at torney. She filed suit Wednesday. She avers that King has a lucrative law practice, but that she was compelled to live in a two-room wooden structure and cook on a gas plate in the garage,' and that she had received only $8 for her clothes and personal necessities since their marriage In Oregon City Novem ber 6 of last year. Other divorce suits filed include: Hazel Grace McGillis against Bert Alex ander McGillis. annulment, on the ground that he had another wife living in England when he married the plaint iff last August; Gladys Marie Shores against E.

UP TO CONGRESS In the parlor section of the" private car in -which, he arrived this morning he discussed freely the policies of the department as a whole and as it con cerns Oregon, but admitted that little could be done at present. -My policy will be for the develop ment of national playgrounds as rapidly possible on . money congress gives me, said Fall. . "On the same basts I am in favor of pushing reclamation projects, both new and old. as rapidly as can be done. "It strikes me, however, that the cre ation 'of new parks should only be an tunlty. I ; cannot describe the . scenes. becaoae I am not an artist. Since the secretary, who was . former ly a senator from New. Mexico, seemed to be in such a. talkatltve mood a ques tion was Injected about the Mexican situation. He declined graciously to discuss that problem "or any other not bearing on his department work, so the conversation shifted .. to . reclamation work. NO NEW PROJECTS "The Klamath project looks very promising." said Secretary Fall. "The work that has been carried forth on the Klamath Indian agency is particularly interesting to me. "We have no money for new projects and. Inauguration of mors development work on arid lands is entirely up to con gress. No new project will be authorised for Oregon this year. We need some new legislation alonr the line of the Mo- Nary act Any act that wiU be in favor of development of new projects is good. although there ' is a strong . leeung in some sections against further develop ment work, the contention being made that agriculture is already overdeveloped In this country." With these two subjects discussed, the visitor said that he was now most inter ested in taking a trip over the Columbia river highway. Arrangements bad al ready been made, and be, with, the other members of his party, lea for an ail aay tour shortly after arrival.

Since the appointments nave been announced. however, this phase has passed. The lucky ones have . doubtless expressed their deep appreciatioa by telegraph or by letter, or both, and their coming visits will be unstrained and friendly. On the other hand, the unlucky ones. In many cases, are sore, disgruntled and dont give a whoop whether the senators ever get borne or otherwise. They won't wear out much shoe leather In Journeys of welcome and respect. - But the boys who want to be deputies will be on the Job regardless ot the fact that these positions are given directly . by the heads of the various offices. They will want the senators "Just to say a good word" or to "use their Influence with ' their nominees. If the senators have a quiet and a peaceful vacation, they will bave to bike to the mountains, and cover their trail a.

Stroheoker is defendant in a suit for damages for alleged malprac tice filed in the circuit court Wednesr day by Roy Jorg, aged 20,' through his guardian, Alfred Renoud. The charge is made that when Jorg had his foot crushed, February 14, he was treated by the physician as company physician for the Swift Packing plant, in such a man ner that he may be permanently crip pled.

HOOD PARK DISCUSSED Because the Portland community has not been consulted as a whole. Secretary Fall says that he does not hold any definite idea in regard to the dedication of a national park embracing Mount Hood. He said : : i It is my understanding that in the past there has been some objection to a national parlc lor Mount Hood because of the very restricted area and the quan tity of private property which would likely bave to be . taken over at high prices.' During his visit in Southern Oregon he heard many arguments, both pro and con. in regard to the addition of more territory to Crater Lake National park. However he is inclined to favor such an addition from his remarks: "I did not say while I was in South ern Oregon that I would urge the inclu sion of Diamond lake to Crater Lake park." said Secretary FalL "If a satis factory arrangement could be made so Diamond lake could be taken in, I would have no objections. CRATER LAKE PRAISED "The objections I heard were that this district is on the forest reserve and that some of the land was being used for grazing. This grazing land is very small in area, however, and there may be some misunderstanding among stock' men, who believe that there is to be greater area embraced than is advo cated. "During my trip I am making no de cision. , I am simply looking over the territory so I will be prepared when I am compelled to make a decision. "uonaiuons at the park were very good. Hotel accommodations were ex cellent snd the camping places were well kept. ' There are wonderful things ' to see there. I did not want to leave and I recommend that everyone who can go. should take advantage of their oppor- and eggs and potatoes for 20 cents In one of your restaurants. That should be convincing enough to any man that this Is the place to live." . In addition to the official members oi the party, there were Fall's secretary. H. J.
