Administration Leaders Determine to
Force Progress on Various
Plans Long in Hands
of Committees
There is a regular meeting of the
city council scheduled for this even
ing, and there promises to be a some
what lively session, if plans formulat
ed by a majority of the leaders of the
administration are carried out. The
chief aim of the leaders is to have this
particular sesion marked as one at
which things will be accomplished,
and a long list of matters that have
been hanging fire for one reason or
another will be called up and an ef
fort made to get action upon them.
Particular effort will be made to
reach a final decision in the matter of
the Seventh street improvement. This
work has been outlined half a dozen
times, but the "go-ahead signal"- for
it has not been given, owing to delays
of one nature or another that have
come up from time to time. Part of
the delay was caused by a disagree-
YOUNGSTERS FROM HARMONY
SHOWN AS "EVIDENCE"
AT HEARING
OPPONENTS SCENT REALTY PLOT
f
County District Board Has All-Day
Session Two New Divisions
Boundary Lines Are
Changed
The old Roman fable of "Cornelia's
jewels" was brought up-to-date Tues
day at a meeting of the county board
of school district boundaries when
patrons of Harmony school district
argued the pros and cons of dividing
the district and creating a new one.
Those in favor of having a new dis
trict created marshalled together
somewhat over a score of children I
from the- section that desires to be
come a district all by itself and troop
ed them befora the three members of
the county court and County School
Superintendent T. J. Gary, who com-
nose the membership of the board.
The board was invited to look the
youngsters over, and then to refuse to
create a special school district forf-
them if it could find the heart. The
youngsters seemed to enjoy being on
display, and looked their prettiest and
that they might have won the day if
the opposition to district division had
not presented some arguments of a
far less innocent nature. At it was
the board took the matter under ad
visement. Those opposed, to the division of
the district say that the only reason
people at the northern end of the dis
trict want to 'be placed in a division
by themselves is so that they can
build a fine schoolhouse, and then
use the schoolhouse as an incentive to
city folk to come out and buy acre
tracts. In discussing the petition one
of those opposed to it said that a
fine looking schoolhouse .was a great
incentive to the city man who had the
"back-to-the-farm" idea in his head;
but denied that it would be advisable
for the county board to grant the. pe
tition so that the people in half of the
district could sail out to city people.
Those favoring the division, 'and
who exhibited the children as one of
their arguments, denied vehemently
that they had any idea of selling out,
and said that they only wanted their
own schoolhouse and their own dis
trict so that thsy cou'd give their chil
dren the best educat'onal advantages
possible. Whether or not they built a
large schoolhouse, they added, was
nobody's business ' but their own, as
they would hava to pay for it anyway.
This matter came up last on a long
list, and occupied the attention of the
board throughout the afternoon. In
the morning session of the hearing
the board disallowed the petition for
the creation of a new school district
out of part of district 106 at Oswago,
but did decide to change the boundar
ies somewhat. It was also d'Harmined
to change r.he boundaries of district
77, near Damascus, to include a por
tion of district 26.
The board created two new school
districts, one by combining parts of
Firwoou and Cherryvale districts; and
the othar by including in a new divi
sion parts of Sandy, Pirwood and Cher
ryville districts. No numbers have
been selected as yet for the new dis
tricts thus created.

son or paving vo De mm, ana aner
this matter was settled, details of the
sewer work had to be adjusted. There
will be an effort made tonight to wind
up all questions in connection with
this improvement, and to get work
started.
There has, during the past week,
sprung up another matter, however,
which may delay the Seventh street
improvement again, and that is the
proposal to leave a "jog" in the west
ern end of the street when it is cut
through to the upper landing of the
public elecator. The purpose of this
tain private property, but it appears
that a majority of the property owners
on the thoroughfare do not want it
disfigured by having a lawn jut out
into its lines, and there is already a
petition in circulation to have the
street carried straight through. If the
council orders this, there is apt to
be a lone and SDirited fieht before the
jutting property can be condemned.
Next to the matter of the Seventh
street improvement, there are two
matters that have long been in the
hands of committees that are said to
be quite apt to come out of committee
hands this evening if the majority
leaders have their way. One of these
is -the passage of the -ordinance pro
viding for the purchase of the Jones
rock-crusher, and the other in some
ac'ion in regard to the watar supply
question. The rock-crusher ordinance
has been scheduled to come up at the
last f'ree meetings of the council, but
has been passed at two of the meet
ings because Councilman Tooze, the
chairman of the special committee
now handling he matter, was absent.

Too many 'ragen Ci ' boys under
the age of 18 have th3 cigarette habii
to suit Chief of Police E.1 Shaw, and
he has issused orders to members of
the force to confiscate "tha makin's"
whenever they aro found hereafter,
and to make arrests when the first
confiscation does not serve to bring
about a reform on the part of the
youngsters. There is a state law that
provides that no desjar shall sell cig
arettes to boys under 18, and the chief
has warned local dealers that infrac
tions of this law in the future will be
prosecuted.
The law also providas that any boy
caught smolzing or having cigarettes I
in his posassion may be fined from
one jto ten dollars, and the chief will
ask that in cases of arrest this fine
be imposed. Many of the younger
boys, upon attaining the dignit of long
trousers ,feel that it is necessary for
them to wander about with a cigar
,ette drooping from their lips, and as
many parents have complained to the
chief that their sons were procuring
cirgarettes, the officers have been or
dered to attempt to stop tha habit.

Impression Gains Ground That Hill

Stephen Carver, who is appearing
as the backer and . booster of the
"Portland & Oregon City railway,"
which has asked franchises in Port
land and Milwaukie, and which is de
clared to be a new interurban line be
tween the metropolis and Oregon City,
is busy acquiring right-of-way for the
proposed line between Milwaukie and
Gladstone. Farmers and land owners
have been approached, and a number
of them have been signed up, and it
is said that the new road is not per
mitting the grass to grow under the
feet of its agents..
The line, judging from the activities
of right-of-way men, will follow what
is known as the Kellogg Creek route
to the north of the Clackamas river,
skirting through the eastern edge of
Gladstone, and parallelling the South
ern Pacific from Oregon City to Mil
waukie, but taking a somewhat short
ara line. Purchases of land for right-of-way
purposes already made show
that the line intends to bridge the
Clackamas river batween the present
Southern Pacific span and the county
road, and that to the east of Gladstone
it will run along the hollow that lies
just to the west and north of the
Clackamas turnpike. The new line
will pass to the west of the town of
Clackamas, and will then hit almost
due north to Milwaukie.
The line from Gladstone to Oregon
CUy, right-of:way men say, will be
built on a fill over the marshas, keep
ing between the Southern Pacific and
O. W. P. lines, and entering the city
over private property. Where the lo
cal terminals will be has not been
hinted.
Those who are watching . the pro
gress of the new line say that they
believe it is being projected in the In
terests of the Hill system, and that it
will be extended south and. east of
Oregon City. It is general' y felt that
