City's Plan to Remove All Animals
to Rose City Speedway Starts
Spirited "Discussion" at Park.
Pandemonium reigned among the ani
mals of the city coo In Washington park
when they found that orders were being
(contemplated that would mean their
eviction and movtng.to a new home In
the Ros City speedway.
It all started-down In the corner where
the China pheasant and native grouse
gather for an afternoon of gossip. The
magpie lingering near by heard it and
soori the news was scattered around.
reaching the press agents in the monkey
house.
Such a thing being too good for them
to pass unnoticed cave rise to wild
squalling and shrieks until all the ani
mals had their curiosity aroused as to
what tt was all about and the demand
for details was. Incessant Down the
line of cages the dope went, passed from
one to another by the gossipy occupants.
even down to the bear pit.

dcui uae iimius 01 nis cage, ounic une
Of the denizens of the boo, seeing his
plight, told him all about the moving
day due to arrive during the winter
and then old Arcturus was agitated.
Frantically tearing about, he cogitated
on the ways of man and the peculiarities
evinced, wh,en brain throbs reach them.
Here he was used to the shady trees
round . about and getting so he could
tolerate the curious people as they
gathered outside his cage. Now someone
had to go and change it alL He must
be put out In a strange place and have
the task of getting acquainted to dq all'
over again.
In the pit Inhabited by the brown and
black bears a council of war was called.
The question as to whether peanuts
grew out In the speedway and also
whether there would be anyone to throw
. them Into the pit was thoroughly dis
cuKsed. Seated in a deliberative circle.
the question was mulled over and over
again. The chief of the council would
rlne from his haunches and give sign
of the extreme Importance and weight
of the matter by stalking about the pit.
Ignoring all spectators as they tried to
entice him to do ilcks for a peanut or
two. What were peanuts whew- such
. tnomentous questions had to be decided?
CAUSE OP IT ALL
Ths cause of the upheaval In the Calm
' life of r.he animals was the decision of
8. C. rier, commissioner of parks, to
move the soo from Washington park to
the Rose City speedway during the wtn
, ter and have the new zoo all ready for
j the kiddles next spring. It was an idea
that caused the beasts to wonder Just
I how much their own affairs would be
t disturbed by the new order of things.
S Of course, new houses will be built.
except where the ones now in use can
be safely moved to the new site ; but
that only complicates matters, for not
only will the Inhabitants of the soo have
to acclimate themselves to new sur
roundings but to new places and corners
to make beds In. There Is ho place like
a home that has been a home for many
years. Change Is always viewed with
alarm.
, What will be the surroundings at the
new home? Will there be shade treeM
!to ward off the rays of the sun, of will
It beat mercilessly Into the already un-
j comfortable cages? Will the kiddies
I come out and bring the ubusI delectable
J offering! for a trick?
KIDDIES TO BE THERE
s According to the plans of Commls
I f loner Pier the kiddies will be there for
I the paddock of the raee track will be
I converted Into a playground and
I equipped with the latest apparatus,
i Furthermore, access to the park will be
easily attained, for the Rose City park
I streetcars now run within a few blocks
oi me site ana u is oeuevea tne traction
company can be prevailed upon to
operate the spur line that runs to the
very entrance.
- The buffalo and elk vlll be pastured
In corrals that will be built In the two
inorth corners of the tract, while the
oiner animals wilt oe nousea in cages
en the sbuth side of the park, beginning
at the southeast corner.
ELK ARE S1LE JTT
The two herds, the elk end buffalo,
would not say a thing in regard to the
proposed change, though they were
chewing their cud a wee bit harder, as
though ruminating on the question. Not
so Trim the monkeys. They frankly dis
cussed and euseed the ways and meth
ods of the younger generations on this
earth, and the . decision was that they
were a bunch of upstarts to disturb the
peaceful homes of their ancestors. Gy
rating all over the cage,' they filled the
monkey house with bitter things about
the genus homo sapiens In general The
younger .monkeys, 'were keen ' for ' the
move, but the old timers failed to show
any enthusiasm over the deal.
Cheered by the prospects of new
grounds, the coyotes en masse favored
Uie jian and were all for It- Rushing
around, they would stop long enough at
the entrance of their cage to shew their
fangs in gleeful demonstration of their
approval.
BADGER BUDGELESS
The badger refused to be budged from
his complacent attitude toward life in
general and by his pompous waddling
about gave the idea that anything would
be philosophically accepted.
In the meantime the officials at the
park bureau were considering ways and
means of transporting the animals to
their new homes at tbe least possible
expense to the city.. 'That new cages
would have to be .built for some of tht
animals was admitted, but. the consensu
of opinion was that most of them could
be moved as they were with the occu
pants still In them.
It Is planned 4o have the new site all
ready for the visitors early next spring;

FIRST SERVICE IX 1877
Sandy, Sept. 17. According to Paul
Dunn of Sandy the first Catholic serv
ice held here was in' 1877, by Rev. Father
Verhaag, In the log school-house on the
Revenue place. From that time services
were held ' in private families until 22
years ago, when a Catholic church was
built in the town of Sandy.
Many reports that thievery has been
Increasing rapidly In Portland high
schools during the last year have led
to. an investigation. Students complain
that they cannot leave books or other
articles in desks without danger of loss.
Some have declared that when they
place articles in their private lockers
hey cannot be sure of having them
when they look for them next.
"I do not believe that thievery is in
creasing In the high schools," said
CJharles A. Rice, assistant superintendent
of schools. There have been some
complaints, however, ' especially from
schools where the students have to
leave their wraps in the general cloak
room. : Of coarse there are a certain
number of thefts even where the
students have lockers."
Benson, Franklin, Lincoln, Jefferson
and James-John high schools have
lockers, according to Rice. He stated
that there are plenty of lockers and that
Lthere should be no necessity for
students doobliflB up,, with the added
risk of misplaced ke$-V . , "' :
Commerce, Washington and the Girls
Polytechnic, on the other - hand, have
no lockers. In these schools there is
a cloak room , opening off each regis
tration room. Usually . the cloak rooms
Have no outside entrance, so 'that any
one entering them must do so through
the registration rooms.
Rice stated that the truant officers.
besides watching for children who "play
hookey, are continually on the lookout
for pilferers
"No added precautions have been
taken this year," he stated. "In most
cases where students complain .of thefts
they have simply mislaid their property."
In the schools where lockers are pro
vided the students are prohibited from
leaving books in the desks, showing
that the principals are aware that
there are always a few who cannot
resist stealing or are so poor they take
the only means they have of providing
themselves with new school books-
Railway Men Voting
In Favor of a Strike
Spokane, Wash.. Sept 17,. Rather than
accept a eduction of 12 Vi per cent in
wages, Spokane railway men are willing
to join in a national strike of the rail
way department of the American Fed
eration ot Labor and the '"Big Five
brotherhoods of employes in the trans
portation department, according to re
turns from the "strike ballots," just
taken. The. estimates made by railway
men on the vote ranged from 2 to 1 to
as high as 6 to 1 on the vote taken here.
$69,200 Damage Is
Result of Flood in
Portland in Spring
V Damage in Portland amounting to
.69,200 was done by the nigh water of
last spring, according to a survey made
by O. Laurgaard, city engineer. The
damage was caused, he said, by flooding
of basements wnere stock was stored,
stoppage of sanitary drainage and the
spoiling of goods. ;
More than ZOO firms in the business
district of the west 1 side were involved
in the damage, the highest being borne
by the Northwestern Electric company.
Damage amounting to $20,000 was done
to the conduits ot this company through
which steam is furnished to down town
buildings. The average loss as revealed
by the survey was 00.
As a means of preventing a repeti
tion of such damage A. I Bar bur, com
missioner Tf public works, advocates the
building, of a reinforced concrete seawall
along the waterfront from Madison to
Glisan streets. This wall, be pointed out,
would prevent back water from, entering
the basements and. saturating the. ground
west of the harbor fine, as was done in
the last high water.
