COUNCIL MEETS Matters of Importance Receive Attention All-members were present at the regular meeting of the city council Tuesday evening, with Mayor Vincent presiding. A petition for nn nrc light at the corner of Hudson nnd Burr streets was referred to the water and light committee. Hahn & Rebman, contractors on aoutn Willamette boulevard, asked for an extension of thirty days' time on the improvement of sumo, claiming the delay was occasioned by dry weather and heavy fill. As the contractors had been admonished to proceed with more speed on the im provement previously by the council, no action was taken. Petitions for fire hydrants at Boveral points in North St. Johns were read. Alderman Graden advocated placing hy drains at the corners of Chapel and St. Johns avenue and Bristol and Smith avenue. The matter was ;flnally held over for an other's week's consideration. Bills totalling S518.94 wcro al lowed, the principal item being lor nn intersection at liurlington and Tittsburg street on Wil lamctto boulevard. The attorney for M. G. Urban, who appealed from the viewers report on the condemnation of his land oh St. Johns avenue, offered to settlo the case out of court fpr $300. It was decided, upon motion of Alderman Gar lick to make a counter oiler of How Has It Improved $200. J. T. of $34 troyed Hayes presented a claim lor bees and honey des by a weed lire near his residence: claiming that the city was responsible for the damago aono. w. w. winuio. wno nau charge of tho weed cutting bri- gado in that neighborhood, stnt cd that ho did not bcliovo tho flro was caused by the weed burning dono by his crew, as duo care had been ekercised. Tho matter was referred to tho finance, committee for more com plete investigation. ' An ordinanco assessing the cost of sidewalk on tho east sido of North Kellogg street be tween St. Joints and Bruce nve nues. was passed. An ordinance creating a board of censorship was read twice and then held over for another week for final passage. It pro vides a censorship commission consisting of tho mnyor, chief of police, city recorder, city at Since before the first rays of light, the heralds of the dawn of civilization were seen in the east, tribes and nations have settled their differences by war. The stories of those wars were first preserved in tradition and legends, later by written ac counts, and the traditions, leg ends and written accounts make up today the bulk of human his tory. Iho appeals at first were to idols of wood and of stone. then to tho oracles and gods which men had invented: then to the living God and later still to Him who camo preaching peace and good will to man. The first wars were for plun der and power, and men fought with clubs and . stones. Now the weapons arc magazine and rapid fire guns with great guns carrying denth for miles, with serried ranks of scientifically trained men, armed by the latest devices for killing: with nr mored shins nnd torpedoes, with bomb and lire carrying aero planes, with all the sinister in ventions of men, nnd tho nefar ious means which the genius of man has called into action to carry murder in their advance and to leave week and death and broken hearts in their rent. This makes up the substance of the world's history. Is there any pleasure in contemplating it Has it really settled- any thing save that here nnd there tho dark pago is lightened by tho story of some nation's struggle mcnt from unbearable As said above wero incited by lust power.

Alderman Munson called at tention to somo telephone wires on smith Willamette bou evard that wero hanging too low, and the matter was referred to the city engineer. Upon Mr. Minson's sugges tton, the city recoruer was directed to communicate with the Railroad Commission with a view of forcing the 0. W. R. & N. Co. to construct sidetracks to tho city dock. For a Detention Home Tho Portland Council has au thonzea Mayor Aibee to pur chase tor iftfouu a 62 acre tract near Troutdale from H. C. Camp bell as a site for the proposed detention home for women, The Council on the first of the year .appropriated $15,000 for this institution and after the pur chase of the land has been made there will be $7000 available for buildings and improvement of grounds. It is the plan of the Mayor to make the institution a sort of industrial home for wo men and girls brought before the Municipal Court on various charges, -instead of sentencing them to jail. They will be taught useful occupations such tho degradation of a majority or his people, for a moment was i m toucneu, nnu possiuiy, lor a moment, there came to him a vision of what would be could tho revenues of his realm be do voted to educating his people, teaching them tho loveliness of tho first pages of tho book of knowledge; teaching them how to profitably work, supplying them with homes and the means to earn a generous living. It must have been so, for he issued an invitation to the world's other powers to come together. and togother formulate a code of laws through which to decide their differences peaceably and do away with war and its brutalities. The nations joyous ly assented: they sent their representatives to a concrress: the code was framed and all sub scribed to it.and one enthusiastic lover of peace bui t a great and splendid palace ot peace in which tno perpetual congress was to be held. But alas! All the great pow era beyond the sea. -one after another, broke their plighted faith and at the sound of the first note of the old cry for loot and power, picked up again their weapons and began to cut their neighbors' thrpats.
