IMPROPER MOTIVES HINTED Small Packers Allege Measure Is In tended to Benefit Beef Trust and ' HealtU Bureau Officials Guard Against Jokers. - The second public hearing oa the proposed new meat ordinance held yes terday at the City Hall by the Council, simmered down to a fuss over the ques tion of stamping of meat with the date of inspection, and the question of whether cold storage meat deteriorates. "With attorneys representing small packers on the one side and officials of the health bureau on the other these questions were argued hotly for close to an hour, the arguments on the two .sides being punctuated by personal! ties and indirect charges of improper motives. Dan J. Malarkey on the one side in sisted that the ordinance was promoted for the primary Interest and benefit of the beef trust. The other aide con tended that certain amendments which Mr. Malarkey interposed bore the ear marks of jokers calculated to make the ordinance ineffective. Ordinance to Be Redrafted. After the discussion the commission referred the ordinance to City Attorney LaRoche for redrafting. It will be dressed up and brought back for a third round at some later date. . At the beginning of the meeting a number of amendments suggested by City -Attorney LaRocha to bolster up the legal side of the measure were read and discussed. N. G. Hedin took ex ception to. the provision for a series of inspection booths and inspection at the butcher shops of farm killed meats. He said there should be several booths established where farmers could take their meat for inspection without being troubled with calling for an inspector upon delivering the meat to a butcher shop. A provision for the exception of meat kept for private use in butcher shops was cut out by Mr. LaRoche because he said this would act as a joker in defeating the aims of the measure. ' Stamping; Date Trs;ed. ' Mr. Malarkey and John F. Logan in sistent that there be included in the ordinance a provision that will require packers to stamp meat with the- date of inspection as well as with the stamp of approval or condemnation after in spection. "I believe," said Mr. Malarkey, "that people are just as anxious to know when a piece of meat was inspected and passed by an inspector as they are to know that it was in good condition when it was passed. In other words why should we not know that meat offered us was inspected in 1905, if that is the case. This amendment is aimed to apprise people of the fact that they are getting cold storage meat. This I believe is as important as any other j part of the inspection." ' . i "The inspection mark on a piece of meat indicates its condition upon in spection," said Meat Inspector Stickney. "cold storage meat is no worse than any other." Deterioration la Denied. "Do you mean to say that meat in cold storage does not deteriorate?" in quired Mr., Logan. "I do," replied Dr. Stickney. "If meat in cold storage in kept at an even tem perature. It will not deteriorate. If the temperature changes the meat will spoil." "This is a proposition being urged in the interest of the Union Meat Com pany," declared Mr. Malarkey. "It Is not," retorted Dr. Stickney. Commissioner Daly declared that he feared the amendment proposed by Mr. Malarkey might be a joker because it might cause the measure to be thrown in conflict with the Federal laws. Mr.' Malarkey and Mr. Logan declared that there was no possibility of this, it being the aim to make known the cold storage meat wherever sold. Mr. Malarkey asked that the Com mission incorporate In the measure pro. vision that the inspectors be placed under Civil Service so as to keep the service out of politics. This question will be considered at the next meeting. Forbes, of Dilley, Or are at the Nor tonia. B. Ferguson is registered at the Washington from Ban t rancisco. Dr. C. A.

DEPOT PLAN INDORSED EAST SIDES BCSISiBSS MEN AGREE TO BACK TEMPORARY STATION. North Bank Will Erect Structure South of Belmont Street as Soon as Permit Is Granted fey City. The Spokane. Portland & Seattle Rail way will erect a temporary freight house on the company's property south of Belmont street, between Third street and Union avenue, as soon as the city grants permission. President Gilmore and Traffic Manager Skinner held a Ionic conference with the H.ast feiae Business Men's Club and representa tives of East Side shippers Thursday night at the rooms of the club, after which" the club decided to recommend to the City Commissioners that a ,re- vokable permit be issued to tne rail road company for the erection of the temporary freight-house, with the con dition that the permanent freight build ing be built within two years. President Gilman said that It would be impossible to erect the permanent freight depot at present on the East Side, as condemnation proceedings for part of the site will not be settled for some time. He said further that the location of the permanent freight house on Union avenue and East Morri son street is not considered the best for the purpose, as it Is detached from the freight yards by Belmont street. and intimated that when built it would probably be built in the freight yards. Erection of the temporary freight depot will permit the handling at once of less than -carload lots. City Commissioner Bigelow, C. U. Carpenter and others were inclined to insist that the railroad company put up its permanent freight-house now, but finally consented to recommend the permit for the temporary building in order that shippers may get the benefit of shipping and receiving less than car load lots on the further consideration that the main building is to be built inside of two years. A number of lead ing shippers attended the conference from tho East Side warehouse district. The temporary freight-house probably will be built on East Third street just south of Belmont, near where the com pany has its freight depot In a boxcar. The club adopted resolutions urging the City Commissioners to vacate East Stark street to facilitate the erection of the East Side public dock, which may be done under the Zelgler amend ment.- COLUMBHV.MEW ORGANIZE Oregon Branch of Alumni Associa tion Is Formed at Meeting.

MILK IMPROVEMENT NOTED Government Inspector Says Portland Supply Is Good. That a great dear of good work has been done by the milk inspection di vision of the city health department in improving milk conditions in Portland is the declaration of Frank H. Both ell, in charge of Western dairy investi gations for the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, who la in the city assisting in the quality campaign, which has been promoted by the milk inspectors and milk chemist. "I have found from investigation," said Mr. Bothell. yesterday, "that milk conditions In Portland are fairly good. It shows that a great deaf of good work has been done. There is still much room for improvement, however. It Is against the Government policy to draw comparisons between conditions in one city and another, and for that reason I cannot say how the milk here compares generally with supplies in other cities. I can say, however, that milk conditions in Portland are good.".
