Street Railway Company's Amuse ment Resort Said to-Be Losing Proposition Board Meets. Jut after the City Park Bomrd voted recommendation to the Council that 12 acres of ground in City View Park be purchased for a public park, State Fenator Kellaher appeared and urged the Board to recommend also the pur Chase of the Oaks, the big amusement park "owned by the Portland Hallway, Jlg-ht & Power Company. The ug arestlon met with considerable favor by members of the Board, and the matter was taken under advisement. It will tie considered at a later meeting. "Inasmuch as the streetcar company officials are complaining that the Oaks la a losing proposition from an amuse ment standpoint. 1 think Jt would be well for the Park Board to buy the 1 place and have it for the city," said iMr. Kellaher. "I think the property could be bought at a asonable price, and It certainly would prove a great attraction for the public as a park." Ion Lewis, a member of the Park Board, expressed the belief that the proposition Is worthy of full considera tion, and that if the city could buy the property it would afford an excellent place for the public baths next season. The meeting of the Board yesterday morning was notable. In that the first piece of property to be recommended for purchase by the Council out of the first half of the S1.OOO.0OO bond Issue was recommended by the members at this session. It is a tract containing a trifle more than 12 acres, and the price placed upon it by W. H. Morehouse, the owner, is $50,000. This is considered very reasonable, and it is thought there will be no hitch in the proceedings when the matter Is taken up by the Council next week. The Council has power to purchase, an.l the Park Board can only recommend. Councilman Vllls, who lives at Sellwood, was pres ent to urge the Board to recommend the purchase of the property, which ia located above the Oaks, close to the Willamette River bank. The Park Board will hold a special session next Friday at 3:30 o'clock P. M.. at which the purchase of property on Mount Tabor will be discussed. Owners of property in that vicinity will be notified to be present and give their prices on the land they own. It Is the intention of the members of the Board to proceed with the acquisition, of ground for parks, boulevards and play grounds as rapidly as possible.

Six Seats on a Rosetmrg Train Tired Woman Telia Ber Children ' Why They Have to Stand Up and Let Weary Fruit and Books Have Resting- Place. THE scene was the rear end of the smoker on the in-bound Roseburg train Sunday night. Every seat in the car was filled, and men were standing In ' the aisle. . In all the other cars the seats were fllledk and so were the aisles, there being a rush of people back to Oie city after the New Year's holiday. At Clackamas a gray-haired, tired-looking woman got on the train. She was carrying a baby, and four children of assorted ages clung to uer skirts. Seeing no room in the chalrcar, she went for ward to the smoker. The six seats near est the door were unoccupied by passen gers, but the "train-butcher" had them filled high with books, candy, oranges, souvenir agates from Alaska (the "butcher" said they were from Oregon, "picked upon the Columbia River"), cigar boxes, magazines, peanuts and olives. The woman with the tired expression ( and the children stood In the aisle. One of the little tots tried to climb to the arm of a fruit-tilled seat, and the "train- butcher," whowas making up his ac counts, scowled. The tired-appearing woman reached for the child and pulled It to a standing position. "You mustn't crowd those oranges, Harold," she said, sweetly, "they havo been traveling back and forth to Rose burg all Week and they are more tired than you are. And besides, they've paid fare for those seats. So have the pea nuts, that were roasted In Kansas City. And the Joke books are so very weak it would be a pity to disturb them. Come over here and stand with mother and don't disturb that Important man. I think he's the president of the road." But even this didn't move the "train butcher," and the tired woman stood for the 11 miles, holding her baby and bal ancing her swaying children in the aisle. Webfoot Oil Blacking Keeps reet ary.
