NO PUGE IN THE CITY UM TS Civic Improvement Leiifruo 'Will Seek to Reform Present Offensive Methods Council AskcC to Act. Tho Clvlo Improvement Association trill attempt to put a etop to the bill board nuisance. Acting: on the sugges tlon of Councilman H. R. Albee, It is cow hoped that by a new ordinance tho unsightly boards may be either re stricted to a limited district or -wholly done away with. The Council's object In tho Investigation Is elmply to obtain a more equitable revenue, but those who have Buffered without redress are putting forth every effort now to end the wholo matter forever. All the billboards In Portland are under the control of one firm, the J. T. Will lams Posting" Company. They are every where to be seen. Guests In the Portland Hotel may feast eyes satiated with the glories and beauties of 10 states upon tho relaxing charms of a new breakfast food or feel at homo again under the benefi cent picture of a domestic cigar. The out-of-town visitor to the Multnomah Club can lower his gaze Irom the shim mering heights of Hood or of Helens and start his bated breath with a realistic portrayal of the next circus. Along the breezy slopes of Twenty-third street a continuous panorama of cigars, cigarettes and chowlng gum ontrances the tourist and makes him sensible that even In the untamed wilderness of Oregon the solaces of civilization aro ready to his hand. Yet there are those who prefer unfet tered views and disdain to spend all their leisure time In conning the blatant vir tues of somebody's whisky. So Mr. Al bee's meditative suggestion has stirred tho reformers into a hopeful activity. License Per Saonrc Foot. Thomas McCusker, president of the Chic Improvement Association, said when asked his plans: "I am in favor of a license per square foot of surface I believe the license should be so heavy as to do away with billboards within tho city limits. I question whether those who use tnem profit very much. As to restric tions, if it was Impossible to prohibit, I would not permit them to be over four feet high. I would forbid entlroly looso boards that fall down In the first heavy wind. As to tho bill distributers, I think very strongly of asking all householders in Portland who do not want their yard littered with patont medicine advertise ments to send In their names. That would give the Council a fair Idea of the senti ment in the city. It Is certainly a nui sance at present to have the Council license a man or firm to do what we are trying to undo. I am convinced that M per cent of tho citizens would be In favor of a clean city streets unllttered by trash, and not fenced In by billboards that make every avenue in the city look like a beer garden." Boards Blsfigrure City. G. M. Hyland, a prlmo mover in tho chic impromevent movement, has defi nite plans. He said: "If we must have the billboards, they should be licensed by the square yard of surface, as in London, and at a rate of not less than $1 a yard per year. Thus increased spaco would mean increased revenue to the city. There are miles of billboards out on Union ave nue, where it not only shuts out a most beautiful view from tourists but is ob jectionable for more reasons than one. For example, the nature of the matter to some is very distasteful; there should be a censorship on matter. Then they should be regulated as to height. In Los Angeles they prohibited them entirely. The ordinance was pronounced unconsti tutional. Then tho Council exercised its prerogative and passed an ordinance that they should bo B0 feet above the ground. That ended It. In my opinion there is nothing attractive about billboards any way you fix them. In Berlin they have the nearest approach to good taste in this matter. The city has erected four sided pillars which aro neatly designed and usually have some ornamental em blem on top. In these pillars are framed carefully censored advertisements, which pay a fixed revenue to the city. And out side of these no public notices or adver tisements can be posted. Councilman Albee said ho had nothing to say further than that Inquiries had been sent to other cities. "The Council's aim," he added, is to be fair, not exor bitant. As to the unslghtllness, I really have nothing definite to say. I have, however, consulted with an attorney, and think it possible to reach that." Blames It on His Competitors. J. T. Williams, the billposter, sought a comfortable draught and beamed warmly on the reporter. "I see two former employes of mine are trying to get a classification made of blllpostlng as distinct from billtacklng and distrib uting, he said. "All right. But I am responsible for good work, am undor bonds and consequently have to charge more than they. Why should they also seek to raiso my license? I belong to an association which Includes nearly every town and city of size. By its laws I cannot distribute obscene literature nor objectionable matter of any sort. I employ from 12 to 15 men and boys reg ularly, and all my money is invested right here in Portland. "No, I don't object to a higner license. I would say that $200 was a just sum, and it would prevent 'pirates' who pay no taxes whatever. I consider $300 protty high. They quote Seattle. Seattle is a boom city and it is not legitimate bus! ness. "A nulsanee7 I tun verv emit! mm nhout hurting other people's feelings. I refused' to put a billboard on that property at Twelfth and Taylor, where the wood yard used to be, just on principle, for I wasn't going to put a billboard up right in front of two churches. I'm a Unitar ian and would hate to see any unsightly object by my church. I have often pulled down billboards when a proper remon stranco is made, and I always shall. We pay high ground rents, from $15 to $50, and it helps out property-owners. "I do think cardtacklng should, be prohibited. Those banners on tho Ben nett building? No, they pay no license. Yes, I am In favor of prohibiting both cardtacklng and distributing." Mr. Flora had nothing to say about any license but his own. That is too high, I wouldn't object to $12 a quarter. I use no paste; simply tack and distribute. I am very careful in both cases not to litter up the street. The Williams con ccrn Is a monopoly, and tries to run us out." Steam Shovel In. Operation. The new steam shovel of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, re cently received, has been put into oper ation in the -bank south of Mllwnuktc, on Mllwaukle Heights. " Dirt Is needed to fill and level up tho new railroad Just completed on the west side of MIlwauKie. The steam shovel is in the cut recently made In the -bank to avoid a wide curve In tho old line. It has been operated enough to show that it will do its work effectively. It docs not differ from the steam shovels used in the construction of railways. It has much work ahead of It for the next year, as it Is expected that construction of tho new trolley lino eastward will soon commence. OIL TANKS MUST GO. City Council Will Today Take Up Ordinance. At the regular meeting of tho Common Council Oils afternoon the matter of mov ing the tanks of tho Standard Oil Com pany to a place less dangerous to the surrounding community will be taken "up. Many prominent persons aro m favor of forcing the company to secure a location farther from the business center of tho Bast Side, so that In case of another fire there will bo no chance of a destructive explosion. The beginning of the action dates back to the time of the first ilro In the East Water and Hawthorne avenue district. UNSIGHTLY BILLBOARD OPPOSITE THE At that time it was seen that if the flames ever reached the tanks they would burst, and the burning oil would flood J tho whole place witn a seeming oam oi fire. After the conflagration, the Council passed an ordinance compelling the oil people to build a stone wall around their works to stop any oil that might escape at such a time. This wall is high enough to act only as a retainer, and not a pro tector of the oil. What should have been reqlred was a wall higher than the tanks to stop the flro from ever getting to them. At the second Are about a. year ago there was a similar danger from the tanks, but nothing was done about tho matter, the whole place being left as it was. After the third fire In this district it was seen to be high time something wai done for the protection of the neighbor hood. The old Council was on the point of retiring, and could do nothing, but Councilman-elect Sharkey, of the Ninth Ward, took up the work, and drafted an ordinance compelling owners of combusti bles to take their wares without the city limits. This ordinance, If passed, will have a direct bearing on the case In hand, for It stipulates that not more than 1000 gallons pf combustible oil, crude or re fined, can be stored Inside the city lim its. It was Introduced In the second meet ing of the new Council, on July 1C. but was held till the third meeting (today) for consideration. In the meantime the owners of property in the burnt-out locality sent in a pe tition to the Council, stating that the tanks arc a menace to all who live, or have business interests. In the Immediate vicinity. Just what will be done In the Council Is not yet known, but It is gen erally thought that the tanks will have to be moved, for the stand taken against them Is firm, and the persons who are backing up the ordinance will brook no opposition. J. D. Clark Released From Custody. J. D. Clark, who was arrested on a charge of having altered a homestead ap plication, made by William B. Evans, with Intent to defraud, had an examination be fore United States Commissioner Sladen yesterday, and was discharged from cus tody. Clark testified that he had selected some land for the complaining witness, Evans, but learned that It had already been taken up, and so changed tho ap plication. He held the document for fur ther information, and, he said, made no attempt to file It. As he had committed no crime there was no objection to the dismissal of the case.

Hard Work by Department to -Present Its Spread Damage-1 Nominal Fire broke out last evening in tho old ice-works building pn Railroad and Knight streets, in Lower Alblna. It was completely destroyed, and several other buildings in the neighborhood caught fire, but were saved through tho prompt action of the Fire Department. The alarm was struck from box 312, and the companies responded quickly. Dis trict Engineer Holden being In" charge. The icehouse was a frame structure 50x73 feet, and being of extremely dry material made a very hot firer Tho THAT GREETS THE EYE OF PORTLAND HOTEL GUESTS HOTEL OX SEVENTH STREET, NEAR entire structure was soon ablaze from end to end, and the firemen devoted their efforts to saving the endangered cottages on tho East Side. Sparks were carried southward many blocks. The saloon building of John Everson, on Lorlng street and Alblna avenue, caught 'from a llvie cinder. The fire caught well down toward the ground on the side and ran up the building. Chem ical No. 3 was summoned to the saloon and extinguished the fire before it had spread. Further south cinders were car ried to the Victoria dock, but as close watch was kept no damage was done In that quarter. A fire started at the dock, but It was discovered In time by the watchmen. Damage to Everson's saloon was slight. . Two cottages east of tho burning build ing, 4G4, occupied, by Van Waterhouse, and 4G6, occupied by Mrs. W. M. Mal lett, both owned by Mrs. P.

The Are Is sup posed to have been' caused by sparks from a passing locomotive. There was no Insurance. The two Johnson cot tages and Everson's saloon are insured. EAST OAIC STREET IMPROVEMENT. Roadways on It Are Dangerous Street Has Long Been Closed. Residents along East Oak street are very anxious for tho Improvement of East Oak street between East Third and East Twelfth streets. A largely signed petition has gone to the City Council and tho general wish is that the matter should be pushed with energy. Owing to the dangerous condi tion of the elevated roadway between Union avenue and East Sixth streets. Oak street has been partly closed -up for the past Ave years, and great inconven ience has been suffered by the public.

Connty Auditor Brandes la Deter mined to Get Money in State Cases. County Auditor Brandes la determined that tho moneys received from Ane3 and forfeited bails In the Municipal Court in state cases shall be paid Into the county treasury. He states that the county pays the expense of the prosecution of these cases, and 13 entitled to the revenuo de rived. With reference to the subject, Mr. Brandes yesterday said: "I went to see the clerk of the Munici pal Court about his report as to fines and forfeitures In state cases. He sends In his list of witnesses for the county to pay, but does not send In any moneys received from fines and forfeitures of ball. The statute provides In this regard: " Tho Judge of the Municipal Court of the City of Portland, In Multnomah Coun ty, and each Justice of the Peaco of said county, at the closo of business of each month, shall make a certlAed report to the County Auditor of all Anes and for feited balls in state cases collected by him, and all commitments to the county jail during the month, showing the names of persons committed and the date and term of sentence.' "I called on the District Attorney about the matter, and he gave me an off-hand opinion that the county Is entitled to the money, but said he would look the matter up. I spoke to Judge Hogue, and he stat ed that he could not sec his way clear to turn the money oyer, as, according to the city charter, he is required to pay all money over to the City Treasurer. I claim that In state cases ho Is not acting as a Municipal Judge, but as ex-offlcio Justice of the Peace, and we are entitled to the money. They make U3 pay the posts. The Munlcioal Judge has never i mnrio n rwvnrt hpr In state cases, but I i will have a report here tomorrow, and can tell from it what the county 13 entitled to receive." SAYS HUSBAND WAS CRUEL. W.

Committee Is Abont to Bes;In Active Canvass. Tho committed of the Chamber of Com merce which has In charge the matter of securing a flreboat for thl3 city will canvass the business houses tho last of this week to see who will sign the sub scription list and make the plan a possi bility. The committee estimates that about JG0.C0O Is needed to build and equip a first-class boat, that will be effective. and of some use in a time of fire. Tt has been decided by the commltteo nrmnfnted to collect the necessary data concerning the flreboat, its construction and cost, that If possible a boat made in thU i?ltv from material furnished by the ?tate would be more desirable than a boat made In some other locality. Tho reason for this action Is easily seen. It is better that the money used in Its construction be spent in the city and state, so that those who will subscribe win be out put ting that much money Into general circu lation. This committee consists of Messrs. rnmnhell. Bentlev and SunDle. and they will mako a formal decision this evening at Chief Campoeus omce, at ino nre headquarters. In the meantime Messrs.

Mr. Flanders, together with Messrs. Bran- nick and Ransom, will call on tho railroad companies, to see what they will sub scribe. Aa they are the principal ones intrMted In the matter of a flreboat- they will be asked to head the list. Nothing will be done, however, until president Mohler. of tho O. R. & N.
