P vVV EAST SIXTH FILL PROPOSED ' TO SVBSTITtJTE GRAND AVENUE AVORK. ills Heady ' to Compromise With Inman-Poulseu Company, Which Has Been; Fighting Assessment. A. N. 'Wills, president of the Council, yesterday announced his intention to pro pose action to rescind the East Sixth Mreet till across the gulch between Eaat Sheridan and Division streets, and in Its stoad. he said, tlio lnman-Poulsen Lum ber Company will put in a fill on Grand avenue at the corporation's expense. Jjiwyer George S. Shepherd, for the mill tlrm. said that he is willing to agree to this compromise. On this line the Viattle will be fought out in the Council, perhaps at the meeting to bo held tomor row afternoon, but more probably it will be taken up at the session two weeks hence. A tiill was in progress across the gulch cm East Sixth street, and many people had gone to considerable. expense to have cement sidewalk and other im proements made, in front of their prop erty, when the lnman-Poulsen Company served notice that it would not pay its share of the assessment, which amount ed to S5.0O0; that it would first suffer the confiscation of the property, the property not being worth the sum required, ac cording to the declarations of the firm's officials. A storm of protest was the result of the announcement of the mill company's "tticlals. and Councllmen Rushlight and Kellaher took up a fight for" the resi dents of the district, to force the com pany to pay its share of the cost for the improvement. Mr. Shepherd, how ever, maintained that the property would be confiscated should the Council force the completion of the fill. This led the officials of the contracting firm, the Pa cific Bridge & Building Company, to an nounce at a recent meeting that they would not complete the work under the conditions, as they could not afford to take chances on collecting from the mill firm. "1 feel that there is no use to try to make the mill company pay that assess ment," said Mr. Wills yesterday after noon, "and it is absolute confiscation of the property. We are therefore certain to have a lawsuit on our hands if we persist, and, inasmuch as the firm is willing to fill Grand. avenue at its own expense, if we rescind the East Sixth street contract, I am going ' to propose that we do this." It Is expected there will be a big fight over the matter when it comes before the Council. SPOKANE CLAIMS 107,640 Directory Census Gives Eastern Washington City These Figures.

A cable special to AND THIS FROM THE PEN OP CARDINAL GIBBONS: "These trusts and monopolies, like the car of juggernaut, crush every obstacle that stands in their way. They endeavor not al ways, it is alleged, without success to corrupt our National and State legislatures and municipal councils. They are so intolerant of honest rivalry as to use unlawful "means in driving from the market all competing industries. The supreme law of the land should be vindicated and enforced and ample protection should be afforded to legitimate competing corporations as well as to the la boring classes against unscrupulous monopolies." ' ' It is no easy matter for one man to stand up and fight single-handed the biggest trust in the world the Beef Trust; but because. he is doing it the people of Portland are eating the cheapest meat and the best meat of any city in the United States. Look upon it as a public duty to patron ize Smith and pass up the Beef Trust markets that are thrown out like traps to catch you. In every 'other city the cheapest cut of meat is 10c per pound. Smith sells his cheapest cuts from 3c to 5c. -In other cities tancy cuts run up as high as 40c per pound. Smith sells his best meats from 10c to 12 c.
