COUNCIL MEETS
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
All members wore present at
the regular meeting of the cit;
council Tuesday evening, vi
Mayor Vincent presiding.
Mrs. Fane made an emphatic
remonstrance against the pro
posed improvement of Richmond
street between Edison street
and the city dock, contending
that the improvement should bo
carried at least as far as Wil
lamette boulevard, that to leave
a block unimproved between
Edison and Willamette boule
vard would jcsult in much water
and debris being carried to the
lower part of the street in rainy
weather. The council decided,
however, that proceedings had
gone too far to make a change,
and in viow of that fact that
tho only feasible thing to do
would be to get out a petition
for the improvement of Rich
mond street between Ed'son and
Jersey street.
A number of property owners
objected to any variation from
the plans and specifications on
tho improvement of Mohawk
street, and it wns decided that
tho contraction must comply
with thn samo boforo acceptance
and payment would be made.
W. H. HnBkins presented a
claim of $7 for removing a boat
houso and other .work that ho
had done. The bill had lingered
on for several months owing to
tho fact that the former street
inspector hud refused to O. K.
it. Tho bill was allowed.
A communication from tho
bondsmen of the Vvcstrumito
Company in tho Jersey street
improvement stated an investi
gation of tho condition of the
stroct would bo, made and tho
"matter of rouiiir attended to.
Owing to a huge cut of over
25 font on the proposed roadway
from Polk street to tho railroad
whore the cooperage company
anticipates building, it was
deemed advisable to change tho
route, entering Willamette boule
vard at Pierco street. Tho new
route is satisfactory to tho
Cooporago company, as was
evidenced by a communication
bearing on tho subject, and will
bo adopted provided tho council,
on a visit to the site, does not find
reason for acting otherwise.
The proposed now route will in
sure about n ten per cent grade
and eliminate objectionable deep
cuts to a great extent.
An accounting firm of Port
land offered to audit the city
books. Alderman Davis re
marked that it cost the city al
most $000 to find a fifteen cent
mistake two or three years
ago, and it was decided that an
accounting by exports was not
necessary at this time.
The new fire truck for the city
had arrived, it was announced,
and would bo ready for business
in a short while.
The following bids were re
ceived on the improvement of
Willamette boulevard between
Burlington and Richmond: Coch-ran-Nutting
Co.. $6,897.62; V.
W. Mason, $6,585.99. Hahn &
Rebman presented two bids.
The first, $6,880.26, provided for
rock furnished by the city quarry,
and the other, $6,571.46. pro
vided for rock furnished by the
Star Sand Co. As the council
had previously passed a resolu
tion providing that rock from
the city quarry should be used
by the city whenever obtainable,
the bid of Mr. Mason was ac
cented, with the provision that
the excess cost of the improve-1
ment, after being checked up by .
the engineer, be found not
too great to justify the work .
proceeding. !
Mrs. Williams asked that an
adjustment be made in regard to
the assessment of her mother's j
property on Burlington street, j
A waiver petition had been sign-i
ed by Mrs. Williams' brother,
Moses Tufts, but Mrs. Williams
stated that he had no authority
to sign the petition, and that he
did not realize it was a waiver
petition when he attached his
name thereto. The matter was
referred to the city attorney for
an opinion, which he will render
at next week's session.
Bills amounting to $825, the
heaviest of which was for elec
tricity, were allowed.
Mayor Vincent, stating that he
was feeling somewhat indispos
ed, President of the Council
Garlick took the chair upon the
mayor's request, and he took

Of Great Importance
On last Wednesday Astoria
witnessed the opening of an era
of improvement and progress
which will far surpass in im
portance all the activities at the
mouth of the Columbia for the
past century. The first unit of
the Tort of Astoria munic nal
dock was commenced, the first
pile was driven in a project to
reclaim the water front of the
city by the construction of a
great concrete sea wall, ground
was broken for the C atson
county section ot the Columbia
highway, and at Flavel, a su
burb of the greater city, work
was started on the construction
of a great system of docks for
the accommodation of tho mag
nificent steamers which the Hill
system is having built for ser
vice between tho mouth of tho
river and California. The
municipal docks, which will be
located at Smith's Point, will
consist of a dock and warehouse
90x1100 feet on tho west side
and a dock 100x600 feet on the
north side of the point, tho de
velopment, when complete, pro
viding 6,000 feet of water front
with piera long enough to nc
comiliodate the largest ships that
can pass through the Panama
Canal.
The improvements at Flavel
will include u system of docks
of sufficient, capacity to accom
modate any vessels which can
enter tho river, and this first
unit of the project will cost
approximately $3,000,000. Tho
contractors arc busily at work
constructing camps for their
workmen, erecting shops and
installing tho powerful machin
ery which will be required in
driving construction at top
speed. It is estimated that the
first dock wifi bo ready for use
within ten" months from tho
driving of the first pile.

of tho committee on tho now
cooperage project, reported that
tho committeo would meet with
tho Port of Portland Commission
at tho court houso in Portland

Lafferty Speaks Right Out
Hon.'A. W. Lafferty gets after
the editor of the Portland News
in an article in Monday's Ore-
gonian. lie nits right out trom
tho shoulder, as tho following
will attest:
Another editorial impugning
my honor, and insulting my
manhood, appeared in tho Port-
nnd News Saturday afternoon.
This time I was referred to as
a Demagogue" and a "Liar."
I had challenged Dana Slccth a
week earner to produce his facts
to show wherein I was unfit, as
ho told the readers of the News
during the campaign and his
only reply is to call me a "Dema
gogue" and a Liar." People
with brains wilt demand more
than that.
I have charged, and hero
charge, that E. C. Scripps, a
multi-millionaire, is the owner of
tho Portland News. Has Slccth
answered that charge? Ho has
not.
I have charged and hero charge
that E. C. Scrinns owns a ma
jority of the stock of the United
Press Association. Has Slccth
answered that charge? He has
not.
I have charged and here charge
thatSleeth is merely the hireling
of E. C. Scripps, and that he does
the dirty work ordered by Mb
multi-millionaire master. Haa
Slccth answered this charge?
Ho has not nnd cannot.
How luiH Scripps made his mil
lions? By starting penny papers
in all tho principal cities of the
United States, by falsely pre
tending to ba the menu of the
poor man, and by collecting mil
lions from the earnings of tho
poor man.
Is the Portland News an in
dependent newspaper It is not.
it is merely ono ot me many
newspapers owned and controll
ed by E. C. Scripps, and its
policies are determined by its
owner, of course.
Has the Portland News ever
Baid one word in favor of-Gov
crnmcnt or municipal ownership
of natural monopolies, to tho
end that the people may havo
the benefits of their country? It
has not.
Has tho Portland News ever
said one word in favor of the
enforcement of the S. P. Land
Grant, to tho end that tho law
shall bo upheld, and thousands
of poor people of Orogon given
homes It has not.
Has tho Portland Nows over
said one word in favor of agricul
tural asset currency, to the end
that the Government and not
the Money Power shall extend
"credit" to tho farmers on first
mortgages, thereby saving to
tho people $500,000,000 in un
earned interest now going an
nually to tho Rothschilds, Mor
gans and Rockefellers? It has
not.
Has tho Portland News over
advocated a single law which, if
passed, would give to tho public
a fairer sharo of the wealth pro
duced? It has not.
Has tho Portland News over
actually opposed the Money
Power in ono single instanco?
It has not. The idea of E. C.
Scripps opposing tho Money
Power is so ridiculous as to bo
laughable.
How does the Portland Nows
fool tho people? By calling
them "Mutts," taking their
money and harping continually
about the recall of Albee and
Tom Word.
When the poor people cry for
bread, what does E. C. Scripps
hand to them? A cold gray
stone. Do you get it?
Yet, your own servant, who
has refused bribes of cash and
bribes of newspaper support to
desert your interests, does not
suit Multi-Millionaire E. C.
Scripps. Scripps asks you to
retire your own public servant,
and turn your fortunes over to
his hireling, Dana Sleeth, and
such officials as Sleeth may se
lect. Should you worry about
what Sleeth or Scripps want? I
should hope not.
Sleeth says the bill I introduc
ed to make the Associated Press
and the United Press common
carriers is a "fool bill." And
he says it would not affect the
United'Press, because it, "alone
of all press associations," now
sells to all comers and on equal
terms. Then, why does he call
it a "fool bill?" He has only
told part of the truth, as you
shall presently see.
When I introduced the bill in
April, 1913, Bond P. Geddis, the
agent for Scripps, in Washing
ton, came to me and said that if
tho bill should pass, making it
possible for any paper to secure
tho Associated Press report, that

that it would hurt the business
of Scripps, and ho promised mo
the support of tho Portland

fused. I introduced tho bill to
break up tho Associated Press
monopoly becauso I believed
then, as I do now. that it will
bo almost impossiblq to over get
laws through Congress for the
benefit of tho public until tho
press of the country is set freo
from the domination of tho news
trust. I placed the interests of
the public above thoso of even

I stood by my bill. If the people
stand by me it will be a law in

at tho cast of his countenance,
and then come and seo me at

W. C. T. U. essays by tho gram
mar grades of Multnomah county.
A young lady grammar student
from Sellwood school of Port
land shares the honor of first
prize, nnd the money was divided
between them-'$5 each. Read
ing of the prize essays occurred
Tuesday evening in the auditor
ium of Portland Central Library.
Essays wero read by two pupils
from intermediate grades from
Richmond and Davis schools,
respectively. They shared the
first prize for the Hygiene con
test, each receiving $2.50 in

Besides these and the two
grammar grade essays, each
High School was represented by
a prize essay, including a younj;
lady from St. Johns. The presi
dent of the St. Johns Grade
Teachers' Association, Miss Maud

It might be well to state that
Portland schools have been on
gaged in these contests for a few
years, whilo this is the first year
St. Johns has ever been invited
to participate'. Also Portland
schools havo been working on
these very essays ever since
February, but our schools were
tint invited until some time in
April. Yet St. Johns captured
two prizes-grammar and high
school.
Dr. Coffey, an eminent physi
cian of Portland, commented up
on the essays at length, and
made the statement that he
would suggest to the Prohibition
politicians that they secure all
of these prizo essays and use
them for thcir'dry" campaigns.

Corona Club Events
The Corona club executed the
previously announced plans of
planting a friondshin tree. A
stately littlo fir was solocted and
the parking on E, Polk street
in front of the manager's home
was chosen as the home of the
Corona tree.
Tho "Llvo Wires" of tho club
made all necessary arrange

during tho "Honor Timo" on
Friday. June 5th. tho club met
at tho cozy little home of tho
manager, M. 1 Burghdufl, and
there seated around a choorful
fire in the big firophicc they
sang songs and onjoyed refresh
ments. .
A formal program was then
carried out, consisting of speech
es and songs appropriate to the
occasion, The members circled
around the excavation in the
parking as the tree was lowered
and a song, befitting the event,
was sung as each member
solemnly placed a shovel of
earth gently over tho tree roots,
When tho final touches wore
given a rousing "mill! Juih!
Kuh! rosounded for the tree
and then came the old familiar
class yell.
Song followed song and when
tho meeting adjourned, deep
down in the heart of every
"Corona-ite" was a "cozy little
corner" for tho Corona tree.
In aftiT years when fate shull
scattor and fortuno return tho
members of the club, there will

and see the friendship tree and
live over again these happy days.

Common Sense Needed
A fight has been started by
tho Central Labor Council of
Portland to revoke by initiative
measure the charters of the Port
land Gas and Coko Company.
In tho opinion of the heads of
the Labor Federation the fran
chises "are of doubtful validity"
having been granted by the
legislatures of 1859 and 1874.
These franchises have been at
tacked in the legislature at two
sessions, but no one was able to
show that any part of tho fran
chise hud ever been violated,
and therefore could not bo re
pealed. The issue is squarely up to tho
people of Oregon whether any
franchise which has been secur
ed in the past, under which mil
ions of money have been invest
ed in property, can be attacked
by the voters. In the case of
the company $3,500,000 have
been Bjvont in tho last few years
constructing probably the finest
gas plant in the United States,
extending mains to reach every
district of a largo city in ad
vance of demand lor gas, and in
advance of street paving.
Much of this property is not
paying returns on the invest
ment, the rates are reasonable,
and are subject at all times to
the regulation. of the State Pub
lic Utilities Commission. Not
another corporation of this
character stands as well with
the people, as there aro ab
solutely no complaints of a ser
ious character, and there have
never been any complaints from
labor unions about unfair treat
ment of employes.
The Central Labor Council of
Portland claims to have 10,000
afilliated members, and as many
more voters in Portland "who
generally follow the lead of the
council." They initiate this
bill to repeal acts of the legisla
ture under which large sums of
money brought from other states
have been expended in Orogon
upon a useful and necoseary pub
lic service corporation that is
giving satisfaction.
In a similar fight made to
repeal tho franchise of the O.
W. R. and N. Co. over Portland
city streets, the initiative bills
were defeated. Common sense
would dictate that the only way
to repeal the gas franchises is
by the same legislative body that
granted them, and that there
must be u showing of violation
of the terms of the contract.
This is clearly another abuse of
the initiative that will end in
abolishing the whole system of
direct legislation. It is a case
whoro labor leaders injure the
cause of labor and imperil the
development of the whole state
by making investments insecure.
