SALEM, Or., Feb. 16. The house
today passed the Indian war veteran
bill, carrying $50,000; also the Ore
gon Agricultural College bill provid
ing $210,000 for the construction
and equipment of new buildings. A
number of local salary bills were pas

The senate passed a number of'
house bill, Including one by McCue,
of Multnomah, allows county courts
to levy a special tax for advertising
resources and another for an inter
state bridge across the Snake River,
carrying an appropriation of $10,000
conditional upon the Idaho legisla
ture appropriating a like sum. The
senate also passed the house bill pro
viding at least 6 month' terms of
school and $300 for every Bchool dis
trict In the state.

Representative Uses Fist.
OLYMPIA, Wash., ' Feb. 16.
Angry because his bill reducing the
number of working hours for wo
men from 10 to 8 was defeated (4&
to 42) in the house today, Repre
sentative Hanson met Representative
Jackson in the corridor and accused
him point blank of purposely absent
ing himself to avoid voting, tteseni
lug this charge, Jackson rushed at
Hanson, who struck Jackson In the
breast. Friends then separated the
two legislators.
Last night's session of the senate
caucus shows an even split on the
nrooosed local option bill, lhe mil
will pass If incorporated towns are
excluded from the county units, but
the local optlonlsts refuse to accept
such an amendment. It seems now
that the bill will not pass at this ses-
slon. at least.
Coos and Curry Judgeship Hill Goes
Through Senate.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 15. The senate
today passed Senator Chase's bill pro-
vlding for a third circuit Judge In the
Second District, tho new Judge to
serve In Coos and Curry counties.
Notwithstanding the other two
judges, Hamilton and Harris, declar-
ed over their signatures that there Is
no need for additional judgeship, the
senate passed the bill. It is expected
the bill will pass the bouse and be
approved by the governor, and that
Ex-State Senator J. S. Coke will be
appointed to the new Judgeship.
This will leave Judges Hamilton
and Harris to hold court In Douglas,
Lane, Benton and Lincoln counties.

FOR LESS PARKING
- -i
Ordinance to tie Amended for
North Roseburg Walks
DOC ORDINANCE KILLED
House Numbering Measure Sow A Law
Franchise Application In
Hands of Lawyers
True to his warning which he gave
tt the last meeting, two weeks ago,
Councilman Mullen, of North Rose
burg, at the regular meeting of the
city council Monday night, renewed
his fight for the reduction of the pro
posed sidewalk parking from 8 to 4
feet and, as a result, bids fair to
achieve a victory so far as his own
ward Is concerned. Once when Mul
len had given up the fight his col
league. Councilman Cardwell, took
up the issue and finally forced the
opposition to give ground. The next
regular meeting of the council, two
weeks hence, will probably see the
fruition of the efforts towards chang
ing the sidewalk ordinance which the
two North Roseburg councflmen have
put forth for several weeks past.
The sidewalk ordinance, as now Hi
effect, provides that streets 60 feet
between projorty lines In the resi
dence districts shall have only 2S
feet of actual roadway, the remaining
32 feet being taken up with side
walks on either side, with the curbs i
standing 16 feet from the property i
lines. Of this 16 feet In width, it Is j
specified that one-half shall be park
ed. Mullen and Cardwell argued
that 4 feet of parking on either side
was aufllclent and that 28 feet of
roadway was not enough, especially
If there should be a time in the fu
ture when such a street was wanted
for a street car line. Mlcelll objected
sttenuously to a reduction lu the
parking width chiefly for the reason
that many propery owners had al
ready built their sidewalks to con
form to the ordinance. Mullen and
Cardwell answered that such side
walks had not been built In North
Roseburg simply because the prop
erty owners there were not In favor
of 8 feet of parking.
In the midst of the argument,
Councilman Josephson moved to in
struct the city attorney to draft an
amendment to the sidewalk ordtn
amce, specifying that the parking on
60-foot streets In North Roseburg be
reduced from 8 to 4 feet. This mo
tion carried, even Mlcelll voting
"yes," but with the express under
standing that he would resist td the
last any effort to make such a reduc
tion apply to any other residence por
tion of the city. Josephson's motion
also carries a provision affecting
North Jackson street and Commercial
Avenue, In North Roseburg, each of
which Is 100 feet wide. On these
thoroughfares the sidewalk curbing
on either side fs to be 25 feet from
the property line, leaving 50 feet of
clear roadway. That the amendment
to the ordinance will pass when pre
sented seems assured.
Other North Itosctiurg Matters.
Two other North Roseburg mat
ters, both pertaining to atrefeti, came
ud before the council Monday night.
One was a proposition from Al Crea- I
son to trade the city a piece of prop
erty near the apex of the triangular
intersection of North Jackson ana
Winchester streets for a tract of
land ajolning on the north, which
consists of the last block of Second
Avenue South, between the other two
streets mentioned. This terminal of
Second Avenue South is rendered
useless to tho city by reason of a
large aqueduct extending through IU
Mr. Creason's p'an was to substitute
this terminal by a road circling Its
south side and running through the
site of the proposed park. The ad
vantage of this offer to the city was
readily seen by the council, and the
city attorney was Instructed to draft
the necessary ordinance of vacation.
The other North Koseburg mat
ter was a proposition to straighten
the western terminal of Commercial
Avenue, where it leaves the inter
section with West First Street, and
dwindles down Into the size of an
alley before connecting with the link
of street extending from Winchester
street between the properties of .1.
W. Wright and 8. D. Stephens. To
bring about the proposed change the
city Is asked to trade a part of south
side of Commercial Avenue terminal
for the Wilcox property, directly op
posite and which borders on the ob
noxious alley. Such a trade would

to eliminate sharp jog. o
Mr. Corkelrean. Al. Creason and ' The largest orchard In the world
Councllmen Mull and Cardw-ll are at Werdr-r, m ar Dei lin. They fx
Jolned In pointing out the benefits of tend without a bnak to about 13.
surh a change, which they said was 000 acres. They yield bout 48,000.-
favored by the entire community in
thit kyslltr. The fact, howevp-, that
the proposition was presented by a
councilman not representing the
North Rosebnnr ward aroused Mayor
Hoover's suspicion ss to the unaniin-
Ity of sentiment over the matter, and
ho remarked that "North Koseburg
people have shown In the past that
they are very uncertatu; that they
could never agree on what they
wanted."- Cardwell admitted that in
, the paet North Rose-burg residents
had been divided on some things that
had been before the council, but ex
plained that on the proposition to
widen the western terminal of Com
mercial Avonuo they were a strong
unit. Mayor iloovor then insisted
that the North RoBeburg people file
a petition, and Cardwell promised to
Bee that this was done.
Iurtly8 Application Referred to Ce
sium' and Rice.
Milton W. Purdy's application for
a srrofit railway franchise came he-
fore the council Monday night for a
iuiiu nine inn tiiMriiutiLiuii n ua ic
vised to suit the views and demands
of the council, but it was not grant
ed. Upon motion of Josephson, 11
was referred to the law firm of Co
show and Rice for inspection and ad
vice as to its legality.
Ordinances.
Upon motion of Mlcelll, the pro
posed dog ordinance, published in
full In The Review of February 2.
was indefinitely postponed, or, In
other words, killed. Mlcelll explain
ed that the ordinance had aroused
adverse comment all over town and
that If passed and attempts were
made to enforce It there would be nil
kinds of trouble. This leaves In force
the old dog ordinance, which pro
vides for the payment of a license or
$2.50 on both males amd females.
Such license is now due, and the city
marshal will give formal notice to
that effect.
The house numbering ordinance,
also published In full in The Review
concurrently with the dog ordinance,
passed the council without a dissent
ing vote. Mayor Hoover afllxed his
signature without delay, thus putting
the measure Into immediate effect. J
An advertisement Inserted in today's
, issue of The Review by City Recorder
Orcutt tells the property owners and
tenants of tho city how to get their i
numbers. !
An ordinance covering the revised
assessment for the Fullerton Avenue
sewer was given first and second
readings. It will pass at the next
meeting of tho council, two weeks
hence.
Objections Ilntaeri to Proposed Low
ering of Arc Mulil.
The report of the light committee,
recommending that the light com
pany be granted permission to sus
pend arc lights from projecting arms
and only 30 feet from the street In
stead of 50 feet or more, as at the
present time, was taken from the
table, where H was laid two weeks
ago, (lending information from En
gineer F. C. Kelsey as to whether he
had furnished the present location of
the light company's poles, which
will be directly In the gutters when
the street pavement Is laid. If the
recommendation of the light commit
tee had been adopted It would have
legalized the present location of the
poles in that the installation of arc
light arms would have necessitated at
a street Intersection only ono pole. In
stead of two, as at present, nnd such
poles are the ones which the light
company has emblaced directly In the
gutter of the proposed pavement
The light company declared that the
present locations of the poles had
been given by Mr. Kelsey, himself,
but Mr. Kelsey, In his reply to the
council's Inquiry does not admit this
and recommends that If the poles are
not moved out from the gutter they
should bo placed Inside the curb
lines.
Mayor Hoover and Councilman Ml
colli opposed the committee's recom
mendation to allow the light com
pany to lower the arc lights to with
In 30 feet of the ground. They point
ed out that the arc lights from their
present altitude shed their rays over
one-story buildings onto streets oth
er than In which they are suspended,
and if they are lowered to 30 feet
this benefit would be removed. They
also called attention to the fact that
tho 30-foot scheme was tried several
years ago and proved unsatisfactory.
Mleelll said the proposal to renew
this test was arointing widespread
complaint and he r..vd If this com
plaint was Ignored tho initiative
would bo Invoked. The argument
that other cities use the arms was
answered with the statement that
sunn cities have ample funds to sup
ply lights for all streets, whereas
Roseburg has not and must therefore
make such llgh's as she haa go as far
as they will. The matter was ulti
mately referred back to the light
committee, which will submit a new
report at the next regular meeting.
