In making the roadways through the Heights section he provides for a right of way of liO feet ao as to protect the view on the boulevard. The boule vard are along horlxontal lines, much th same as the treatment of the level ground. Thl Mr. Bennett ex plained Is to avoid winding up each small Ml) or rise. He preferred to make the roadway clear around the larger hill, thus gaining ascent slowly. I am firmly convinced, he said yesterday, "that the destiny of the cly I such that It will pass over Into the Tualatin alley for residential purposes. The view is too beautiful not to be taken advantage of. There Is also a boulevard system crossing the rltrr In South Portland and running well out to the border of the city, where It connects with the various parka on that side ot tha river. Th roadways of the various Heights are all connected with this system ef park boulevards and also with the esplanade between Park and West Park streets.

The plans for the creation of a new dock system, so aa to handle the traf fic which the city will gain aa.lt grows toward Its 2.000,000 mark, will be fully explained In the meeting to be held before the Public Dock Com mission.

We are pleased and delighted," said Dr. Wetherbee. "with the plans. They re wonderful. They will make Port land the greatest city In the world. Of course It may not be In our lives that we will wltnrss the complete fruition of Mr. Bennett's scheme, but msny of the suggestions will be followed In the Immediate future. He has maSo a very earnest study." The Civic Improvement League raised $10,000 In 110 for the plans which would mak the city of Port land one harmonious whole.

Construction of the North Coast line from Spokane to Seattle and from Spo kane to Lewiston In accordance with the plans outlined by the directors of the Union Paclflo In New York when they authorized many Improvements la the Northwest, will not be taken up ac tively until the Oregon-Washington Kail road A Navigation Company Is rendy to finance the project. In th's Important work Robert E. Stra- horn, vice-president and general man aser of the' third district of the new company, who left Portland yesterday after spending two days here. Is in the same position as are the Portland of ficlala with reference to the better ments contemplated for Southern Ore ton. While the directors In New York have authorized the work. It remains for the local company to secure the money. For this purpose a bond Issue, sufficiently large to cover some of the more Im portant Items contemplated for Oregon, as well as for the North Coast ex ten slons, probably will be authorized. SpoL&ne Cut-Off Important. None of the double-tracking that la to be undertaken by the Hurrlman sys tem between Omaha and Portland Is In Mr. Strahnrn's district. He wlil con cern himself in tha Immediate future only with the new line between Spo kane and the Snake Klver, which will require a year and a half to complete. A part of thl road eventually will be come a part of the main line between Spokane and the Sound. In building to the Sound-, the Fpo-kane-Snake Klver line will be used to Cash Creek, from which point connec tion will b made with the Yakima di vision now nearlng completion. The Yakima line will be followed to Its terminus, requiring new tracks from North Yakima to Tacoma and Seattle. Thl route already has been surveyed nd partial estimate of the cost have been made. It Is not likely, however. that construction work will be started for two or three years, although Mr. Strahorn bnpea to have the work un dertaken within the six-year period designated by Judge Robert 8. Lovett, president of the I'nlon Pacific, as the time In which the proposed Improve ments shall be carried into execution. Pending the sule of the bonds of the O.-W. 1C & N. Company, no definite ar rangements for building thl new line will be made. Kven should bonds be old at once it I not likely that this work will be taken up until after the Spokane-Snake River projoct Is fin ished. Mortgage to Be Made. Finances for the three districts of the new company will be adjusted at the same time, according: to plans of local officials. The size of the mort gage has not been determined, but It I likely that It will be between $50. 000.000 and $100,000,000. The old mort gage of t:3.S80.0UO of the O. It. & X. Company will be assumed by the new company as a first mortgage against the property formerly held by the O. K. tb S. Company, but the new loan will be made with all of the property In oiudod In the merger as security. Although the attitude of the public toward the railroads has not been fav orable for the past few years, Harrl mnn officials here and In the East are confident that the money market has not been sufficiently Influenced In the wrong direction to discourage the sale of the new bonds. All of the work outlined for the next two years. It is announced, will be completed, including the double-tracking, the Spokane improvements and the Natron-Klnmath cutoff, which latter project, however, will be financed by the Southern Pacific and not by the new corporation.

For tho purpose of meeting Eastern visitors to California and encouraging them to return home by way of Port land and other Oregon points, C. W. Stinger, city ticket agent for the Harri man roads in Portland, left last night for Los Angeles and San Diego, where he will remain until the end of the month. Mr. Stinger believes that many East ern people can be Induced to stop in Portland If the advantages of sucn routing areproperly presented to them. Reports from Southern California are to the effect that the number of tour ists there this Winter Is greater than ever before. Many of these already have expressed their desire to visit Portland. Southern Pacific officials in California, assisted by Mr. Stinger, will endeavor to Increase the volume of this class of business. Mr. Stinger is accompanied by his family. During his absence the local ticket office will be In charge of E L Tabke, chief clerk. , ' SALOON ROBBER CONVICTED Worker of World Fully Identified as Highwayman. Joe Phillips, a member of the Indus trial Workers of the World, was found guilty by a Jury In Judge Kavanaugh's department of the Circuit Court yester day morning of having aided in hold ing up the Commerce saloon, on Stark street, between Second and Third, on October 10. 1910.

The City Council then passed an ordinance requiring all school buildings to be strictly fire proof, and many changes were neces sary to have the plans already approved conform to the new ordinance. As a result of the ordinance the Board has called for $150,000 more. Unless the bonds are voted, the Board announces, the building will be only partially con structed and will accommodate about two-thirds the number of students now attending the Lincoln High School. Board Defines Position. The Board yesterday authorized the following statement: "To the taxpayers of School District No. 1, Multnomah County: The Board of School Directors desire to call to the attention of the taxpayers of this school district the circumstances re garding the proposed bond issue of 1150.000, to be voted upon at the school Clerk's office, Tilford building.

The report of the Directors was approved by the tax payers and thereafter an election was held and the itisue of bonds to the amount of $350,000 was duly authorized. These bonds have now been sold. Plans for the proposed building were prepared and the Board was ready to ask for bids on the building in September. 1810. Before bids could be advertised for, however, the City Council passed an ordinance requiring the building to be strictly fire-proof, and this ordinance Is now In force. Bond Issue Needed. "The School Board thereupon con sulted with its architects and ascer tained from them that the Increased cost of this building, owing to the re quirement that It be strictly fire-proof, would be approximately $150,000. In the annual report of the Directors for 1910, the whole matter was explained and It was submitted to the taxpayers whether they would prefer to raise this money by taxation or by a bond Issue.

Frieda Yorke informed Patrolman Cameron that a party of men had come to her place on Davis street, forced their way in at the door and demanded a drink. She refused to serve them. whereupon, she said, one of them took a loaded revolver from the bureau drawer and another seized her when she attempted to telephone to the po lice. She also missed $50, she said. The men then fled to their auto and disappeared. Wanless and Rupert obtained the number of the car and overtook It on the East Side, when they found West alone in It. He said that he and four others left his father's Baloon in the taxlcab after closing hours, but he could not remember much of what happened after that. He assured the police officers yesterday that he would recover the revolver, which had been taken by one of his companions, but denied all knowledge of the money. that the opposition of the Brazee street people may be understood.

It was argued that the industry is on the decline owing to the- agitaLion for purer milk and the numerous charges which have been made as to sanitary conditions. Tom Richardson declared that the In dustry was being ruined by the popu lar clamor for pure milk, the agitation being utilized for certain men to gl.n the Industry a black eye. The com mittee decided that a big dinner should be given, so as to allow all a chance to be heard and explain their views.

Why Residents Thero Oppose Mount Hood Railway. -PORTLAND. Feb. 11. (To the Edi tor.) The Oregonlan Saturday con tains an editorial under the title "Mount Hood Franchise," which we think does not correctly reflect the purpose and spirit of the Brazee treet residents in their opposition to the Mount Hood road coming down said street. At a largely attended meeting of said residents held Friday evening It de veloped that all wero heartily in favor of a franchise being granted to the Mount Hood Railway & Power Com pany under proper restrictions, but were opposed to the railway being con structed . on Brazee street. The main objection was that the Irvington Club Park, which Is a playground for. the children of Irvington, abuts upon said street, and the Irvington ward school Is located upon said street. The Bra-zee-street people therefore feel that they have more reason for objecting to the railway being constructed thereon than have the people as to other streets. So far as the opposition of the Brazee-street people Is concerned, we are confident that it is whollv spon taneous and In no sense inspired. There ax no other Interests so far as .we motion committee of the Commercial Club, that he could not come. He ex plained he is interested in the United State senate amendment to the post- office appropriation bill, and for that reason he took the return train from Spokane so that he- could make tne proper presentation of his side of the question of magazine publication. His telegram gave something of an inkling of how he felt on the subject, for he stated: "It raises such momentous problem concerning the liberty of the press and rates as to require my re turn to the East tonight." Plans had been arranged for Mr. Myrick's enter tainment during his stay on the Coast, and his return causes disappointment among the officials of the Commercial Club. Bibles Shown at Library.
