Richmond. engineer for the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, assured the property owners that the management of the street railway svstom wo.tld co-operate with them in accom plishing the proposed Improvement and would do everything In Its power to exne dite the project. Others to approve the driveway in short addrcsVes were M. O. rianncm. John P. Carroll. I. T.ang. E. U i nomp.ion and George C. Flanders. It was decided to retain the services of L. A. McNary. ex-City Attorney, as leaal counsel, and at today's adjourned meet ing or the City Council Mr. M -Nary will present ,the first resolution Inc'dent to proceeding legally with the dosited im provement. During the evening the Portland Heights Improvement Association was reorganized with the following officers: Prcsidfnr, I. l-ang; vice-president. J. C Ainswor'tii; e,-rctary-treasurcr. fl U Thompson.

Thompson and J. F. Hart. Plan for Boulevard. The plans under consideration were pre pared by Olmsted Brothers, landscape artists of Brookllne. Mass.. and call for a boulevard not less than fio feet In width. The Improvement will necessitate tl,e relaying of the streetcar tracks for the entire course of the driveway, which will be bounded by reinforced concrete walls, one to retain the embankment and the other to support the roadway as con structed. Adjoining the Inside wall jt Is proposed to have a six-foot walk for per sons afoot. The next 24 feet will be de voted to a double streetcar track vhi--h will be separated from the 2t!-foot drive way proper by a curb, reserving the :wo spaces Independent of each other for the purposes for which they are Intci.ded. tm the outer side of the driveway win be another curb and a promenade walk about nine feet In width, overlooking the ity. An effort will also be made to have the roadbed of the street railway system turfed and kept green all the year. The advocates of the boulevard system will also recommend the purchase of a considerable area of lund on the ncr;b si-le of Vista avenue, between the end of the Ford Street bridfe and Terrace liie. "therwise known as Montgomery Drive. The idea of acqulrlim tills land is to de vote It to park purposes and preserve its scenic beauty.

Thtnfts pollticallr are reversed xomewhat there now. I stilt count myself, with Mr. Tweedale. a Republican, and am not worrying over the new method of nominating- candidate, nor about Statement No. 1. or anr other one. Poawlbty f have not a yet been able to realize (he (rravity of the situation equal to nme of my party friends. Rut I desire to be consistent and wish our party to be ;o. too. l.onp aro we went on record In a demand thar United State Senators should be elect ed by the popular vote, and thus take out of our State Ieptlslture a demoralizing In fluence and waste of valuable time. Now. for all prartfral puroaea It l all riaht to have asplranta for the Senate go before the people and have the whole voters in the severnl political parties say whom amona the number they prefer to vote for, as the one the Trie:ture should confirm nnder the constitution as our United States Senator All that Is ne-ded now ts aPmple honesty and loyalty. Let each and every candidate who goes before the primaries under the 1 resent law. and falls In securing a nomina tion, aerept gracefully the people" choire and loyally stay with the party through which he sough t to get an office. He fusing to aecept the nominee by all In the rar-e 1 nothing new In politics. But, for a defeated aspirant at the primary election, when all have a chance to vote, to attempt to defeat the one whom the people preferred to hftn la an fnult to his party and he should be disbarred from get ting on a tltcket again. If so-calld party managers will not stay by the one whom the people cloose lo he voted for at the final election and tre RepuhMcans of Oregon. In the fare of an apparent reglm ration of aheit three to one over all other parties, sy en election day they did not mean tt. then let them be turned ont to eat arass with the Democratic donkey until t-he dews of heaven pnns over them seven times, like Nebuchadnezzar of old, and until they gt purified or rather puraed. W have two honorable men of our parly now to ro before the primary asking- the people at larfre to select the onn they prefer to have the l,cielature elect to the United States Senate for the enwiiriff six years. T'le writer has had personal assurance that Mr. Cake will cheerfully support Mr. Fulton should the latter be the choice. I presume Mr. Fulton and his friends will say the aame for Mr. 'ake. "Oh, but just look at the past." you will say, "The same thin will be done again. Tia airainat human nature to expect such p-ood will and harmony." Well, possibly, hut conceding rM. will that help matters n y r i prefer to look for the richt thine t" be done.

Tired of living- snd disappointed because she was not permitted to keep an ensrage- ment with some young people. Bossie Pnlmor. a fi-year-old charge of the Boys and Otrls' Aid Society, who had been placed in the home of a well-to-do fam ily in Irvtngton. attempted suicide by taking carbolic acid Monday nlpht while in a hysterical fit. The girl, who was given into the care of this family about six months aso. was regarded as having obtained an exceptionally good home, but this is now forfeited, as the head- of the family refuses to receive her in the house again. rhe bottle containing the poison that the girl attempted to swallow, was found by her in a closet. She had asked per mission to go out after supper to join some companions and soon after it had been denied, the people in the house were aroused by a commotion in this closet where they found the girl with her lips burned by the eid. The family tele phoned to W. T. Gardner, superintendent of the society, who took the girl to the hospital. She is now very penitent and for some time to come will be confined to tha home of the society. Miss ralmer was committed to the home by the Juvenile Court one year ago. Her father and mother live In Union County, and were adjudged unfit persons to be entrusted with her care. Since taken away from her mother she is said to have been most unhappy, and during the past year in the society home has been treated twice by a physician for hysteria. Once when out with other gfrls of the society for an outing in the City Park, she fell down and refused to move. She had to be carried back to the home. The at tempt on her life is regarded at the so ciety as a "fake." The officials there seem to be of the'opinion that' it was an effort of the girl to enlist the sympathy of the family and through this means gain her own way.
