Macadam atrecta will t fortunate to recrlva one oiling tor tha aaaon. Thai farts war developed at meeting of tha street-cleaning commu te, of tha KiKutlrt Board yesterday afternoon, when Superintendent I "on aidnon waa outlining Ma plana for tha coming Summer. Itlds wera opened for three power brooma and two Mush log machine,, all for um on bard aurfaca streets. Plds wera received from tha Studebaker Company and F.all aV Co.. both i'ortland concerns. but aa some of the membera of tha committee wara abaent no action waa taken. PatrmroU lu Come f1rt. Aa the season for oiling la approach Ins; rapidly. Samuel ConnelU chairman of tha committee, asked a to tha plana for the Summer. Mr. Imnaldson replied that, as the hard-surfaca area bad been Increased to nearly double tha sua of last Summer, a large por tion of tha year's appropriation would nece.sartly hare to be used in clean ing thee streets. "It wl!l cost us a larva sum to keep tha hard-surface streets In the down town districts clean." said Mr. Ionald son. "and I want to have enoucb power brooma and flushers to clean tha hard-surface pavements la tha sub urbs at least onca every week. Thera are many of them now which have not been flushed or swept since they ware lal-l " Tha department flu'bea and sweeps the down-town pavements every I hours, and will continue to do so. but It Is the outlying; thoroughfares that are likely to be nealected because of the tremendous Increase In the hard-surfai-e area. Not only has the admin istration doubled the pavements In the past 1 months, but a vast amount of work of thl, nature Is outlined for this romlrc Simmer, and contracts aggra vating millions of dollars have already been let. Allowance la Absorbed. The city expended about $32,000 la oiling the macadam streets and roads last Simmer, but the department ap propriation will not be sufficient this season to Justify the expenditure of so larva a sum, because the expense In maintaining; clean pavements will be so great that it will not be available. Tha appropriation for street-cleaning h'.s year Is SZXs.OOO. a very larre sum. but Insufficient to oil ail of the ma cadam streets and roads and properly to sweep and flush all of the bard surface pavements. It waa because of the condition of the general fund and the necessity of prolactins; It that Mayor Simon vetoed the ordinance car rylng ;'.000 for this department. His veto waa sustained by the Council last Wednesday. I'ortland will have a good many more miles of bard-surfaced streets when work now under way Is completed than Seattle has. and It Is because of the rapid Increase in the mileage of these Improvements that the cost of operating; the street-cleaning depart ment baa become so large. the Portland Chamber of Commerce, re. questing; contributions In aid of th Chinese who have been made destitute by famine and the ravages of the bu bonle plague, which are causing th deaths of thousands in Manchuria. The letters are the result of the decision o the Associated Chambers of Commerce at a recent meeting In San Francisco. It waa decided every Chamber of commerce on the Coast affiliated witn the parent organization should send appeals to exporters to contribute. Um cers of the association also communi catad with the managers of the Urea Northern Steamship line and with Cap tain Dollar, of the Hollar steamship In terests. and persuaded these officials to agree to transport kit donations free of cost. Consul-Genera! Moy - Back Hln. of Portland, baa Just received Information that the I'nlted Mates Government transport will sail from Seattle Febru ary IJ. and requests that all societies and agencies working in the cause have their supplies in readiness for the trip. In connection with this movement th Chinese Consul baa been working among his own countrymen and has raised a considerable amount of cash which will be sent to the districts which are suffering distress. It is .said that distress existing In the provinces of Annul and Kangiu are almost beyond description. Contributions are being gathered for shipment to the Chamber of Commerce of Seattle and will be for warded on the transport. Uoda for a later date will be sent to San Francisco, where they will be con vryed by the imllar steamship line. OREGON TO GET PUBLICITY Kilrnslve F-xploitatlon Planned In Spending St, 230,000.

OF 2, OUTLINED IN PUN Widening of Burnside Street Is "Backbone" of Civic Archi tect's Idea. FUTURE IS KEPT IN MIND East Side, Says E. II. Dennett. Will Become Part of Main Business , Cenlcr, Without Affecting West Side Values. Portland planned for a population of 1.000.000. with skyline boulesards, a civic center, a modern parka-ay through the business center by use of the park blocks, and depot grounds for trans portation liens are among some of the prepared plans brought to this city from Chicago by E. If. Bennett, archi tect and builder of cities and member of the firm of Burnham & Bennett, who arrived in Portland last night. Mr. Bennett is employed by the Clvlo Improvement League, which has for its purpose the adoption of a comprehen sive plan for the development of tha city aa a whole, including auch practi cal features In its arrangement as will ttrart the attention of the world and add to the convenience of the people. Mr. Bennett said last n'ght that he did not wish to make public all the plans which he had matured, for he felt It to be his duty to permit the members of the league to examine them first and deride what should be given out for publication. lie waa willing to say that the "backbone" of his plan was the widening- of Burns'de street. Artery Is Essential. Every city must have an artery. It is as necessary as the main arteries to the body for the proper circulation of the blood or a trunk to the tree so that the branches may get their sap. "My plan for the City of Portland is comprehensive and provides all that is necessary for a city of 2.000.000. I have found In my examination of cities hat a business center always grows In slse according to the population. Thla appears to be quite axiomatic, but there are. many things to be considered. The business center of Portland Is bound to grow with years, and on the West Side fled that there is not enough ground for a ritr of a large slse. It simnlv tist widen out. and there being no 1 other place to go it will of necessity go to the East Side. There will be no depreciation of values, in my opinion, providing the city has perfect freedom f egress and ingress from and to each Ide. For this reason I have arranged for the widening of Burnside street and Hawthorne avenue. This is the basic principle froiA which I work. "The Hawthorne bridge furnishes an ther opportunity for a civic center. which will run to the foothills. Upon these blocks will be the publlo build ings. When we reach Park street I propose to utilize the blocks used for park purposes, condemning those occu pied by business blocks and running clear to the depot or freight grounds. Here I find a grand opportunity for the WHAT I WENT THROUGH Before taking Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Xatick, Mass. "I cannot express what I want thmntrh durinir the chan-re or Hie Deiore x irieu Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. I was in such a nervous condition I could not keep still. My limbs were cold, I had creeov sensations. and I could not sleep nights. I was finally told by two phy! icians that I als had a tumor. I read one day of the wonderful cures made by Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetablo Compound and decided to try it, and it has made me a well woman. My neiehbors and friends declare it had worked a miracle for me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth its weicrht in p-old for women during this period of life. If it will help others you may publish my letter. "-r-Mrs. Nathan B. Ureatox, 61 N. Mam Street, .N a tick, Mass. The Change of Life is the most critl ral period of a woman's existence. Women everywhere should remember that there is no other remeay Known to medicine that will so successfully carry women throtnrh this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound. If you would like special advice) about your case write a connden- tial letter to Mrs. Pinkhani. at Lmn, Mass. lier advice la free. and always iieipiui. construction of a vast terminal depot grounds. From Burnside I propose to run a radial street, to connect with the Cor nell road. It Is 'my opinion that Mor rlson street should cot be opened, for in the exposition grounds I find a splendid opportunity to place your ath letic field and auditorium building. I suggest that the little diamond-shape tract near the grounds be taken over by the city and the extension of Mor rison street be provided by widening Washington street sufficiently to make curve for Morrison. Here would be a beautiful opportunity to improve the street and the appearance of the city by having a sort of breathing place. A great deal depends upon the wid ening of Burnside street. It will not. n my opinion. Injure the values of Wnshington street. In fact it will ben efit them. Washington street is rap. idly becoming so congested that busi ness Is transacted with a great deal of difficulty now and it Is only in being able to take care of the trade that the security of the merchant exists today. With Burnside widened, it is my opln- I ion that much of the traffic will be re lieved, and a proper distribution of the masses will take place. With this wide street It will be easier to distribute the crowds in their distribution. I have provided something of treatment of the entrance of the Kroadway bridge In gcml tn sa TfrTWrl mm i 3 K,.VK Lii-V m if IMfr a r-vxx fijp?,iii i ! iiiiiiiiiiiii'!"1.' i iiii-'-- . rauw MIIIIMF Indianapolis, Ind., pop. 224,326; Jersey City, imMMm! p2 request, of. ra $185.95 PER FRONT FOOT Average Price tn 3 Cta tpCSEag -Of lots, comparing in character and location, with beautiful LAURELHURST in the following- respective cities: Dayton, O., pop. 116,577; Denver, Colo., pop. 213,381; Kansas City.

I have examined some of the prin cipal cities of the country with a view of comparison as to what the future will mean for Portland, and in e.very case I found that the population and the business center Increase, with a corresponding ratio. With this fact in mind it is necessary for big arteries to take care of the situation. "I sm anxious to have these plans in such shape that when they are pre sented to the public they will be appre ciated. I have brought with me out lines of the improvement as a whole, with some sketches which are in color work. These plans are still to ' be worked out, and I do not think that they will be ready for the newspapers until some time in July." Mr. Bennett will remain in the city a week. He has been at work upon plans for Minneapolis, which provided for several .large arteries and which were adopted by the city. Mr. Bennett will nppear before the Public Dock Commission in the course of his stay la Portland. Disappearance Reported to Police-. Disappearance of Henry Connolly, 3i9 East Third street North last night, was reported to the police by Mrs. Connolly. She says her ljusband left the house about 8 o'clock to go after some medi cine for himself, saying that he would return in a short time. His failure to do so leads Mrs. Connolly to believe ha has met with some accident.
