A N. main line between East Thirtieth atreet and th city llmlta la a proolem a movement baa been started to extend a number of streets ovsr th railroad. As first grad crossings wore projected on East Fifty-second. East Fifty-third. Kst Fifty-fourth and aUat Fifty-fifth streets, and a little grading was don oa East Fifty-second, which was atoppsd by court procsedlngs at re quest of th railroad company. Th street had been graded on both sides, th contractor going to conalderabl expense before work waa stopped. Real dent think that ther abould b grad crosslnga, bat this opinion la not unani mous. Many say viaducts should be built. Th Center Addition Club will Insist on grad crossings. Th streets mentioned ar only a few f th many streets that Intersect th railway track, and th result of th controversy will aHect a large district. At th Intersection of Sandy boule vard and th railroad a aaf crossing la wanted before th Improvement la made. Th railroad company brtnga Ita tralna to a stop when approaching this crossing. Ths Rm City Park Improvement La:u hss hsd this croaalng under consideration for th paat year, and has been Inelatlng on a viaduct to carry the atreetcara and traffic over the main line, but that plan Is opposed as ar th proposed vladucta In Center Addi tion. The railroad rani for about two miles Inside the city, and at present only grade crossings ar used. Th district along ths railroad Is tilling rapidly and th danger la conatantly on th In iresse.

The report shows that up to noon yes terday th plant burned 175 tons of garbage at an average of cents a ton or at a total coat of tlllz.il. Th coat a ton was sis cents for fuel. 40 cents for labor and two cents for tools and repairs. Th coat of burning garbage In th old plant was between 7S and St cents a ton. The total coat for th month under the old ay-stem would have been atx-ut i::sa. The plant demonstrated THcember II that It baa a greater capacity than de manded by th specifications furnished the contractors. Owing to Sunday and Christmas dsy coming together a vast amount of garbage was piled December It. A total of 1T tona was burned. The capacity of the plant Is believed to be It tons a day.

West Adams-Btreet Methodist Episco pal Church at Los Angeles. He built the Methodist church at Eugene, Or, from a membership of 00 to 1200 In four years. At centenary in icna man 15 months the membersnip nas own Increased 450. Scarcely , a Sunday has passed sine. he became pastor that several new members have not come Into the euuivu. . - j at th. morning service and five at th. evening service. But Dr. Trimble is not satisfied. He believes that Centenary church is des inu h.Mmii the most nowsrful and Influential Methodist church on th. East Side In Portland. Costing 180,000, the church is one of the finest houses of. worship In the city. Located In a scattering residence district at the time of its erection, the growth of the city is fast making It a downtown church, surrounded, not by Individual residences, but by apartment-houses. ''Ten years from now," said th. pas tor, "there will be ten times as dense a population around Centenary as now. It will be a congested district and closs to tha poorer residence portion of the city. That means that a duty -will davolv. upon it. as a downtown church, thatmust be met by building up now a strong organization In num bers, in wealth and last, bat most Im portant, In spiritual fervor and xeal." With all the "features" that are In cluded In the 8unday evening services, the pastor does not forget the real purpose preaching the gospel. While his sermons or talks last but 30 minutes, they are bright and snappy. Tonight he will talk about "Living With Yourself." His thought will be: What kind of a fellow are you living with? How do you like his company? How do you think yon can Improve tha fellow you are living with? This Is one of a series of 8unday evening talks under the genera, title of "Life Lifts." Wood Planer Exhibited. Edward Rawson, of St. Johns, Or., has p.rfected a wood-planer with a chain-driven feed mechanism, which he believes will revolutionize this appli ance, as this feature is asknowledged to b. an Improvement over th. present machine. Mr. Rawson asserts that his Invention does away with all gears, thus eliminating the troublesome and expensive drive feeds. Each chain op erates Independently of the others. Is noiseless and easy running, yet power ful. It Is also asserted that the new type can be built much cheaper than the old system of gears and expansion gears. In addition to the chain-driven mechanism the planer is equipped with a variable, reversible frlctlonal gear, very powerful In ita operation. The entire machine has been thoroughly tested and Is now on exhibition at the Rawson shop In St. Johns. IRVINGTON CLUB TO ELECT' Annual Meeting- of Portland Organ ization to Be Held January t.
