The sum of $400 -was appro priated to send City Attorney Long1 to "Washington! to endeavor to secure a de cision of the United States Supreme Court Jn regard to the legality of the city's method of making assessments for street improvements. The Portland Traction Company asked for franchises for lines on Burnside and Thirteenth streets. Jeff "W. Hayes applied for a 20 years' franchise for messenger call system. Mulkeys or dinance requiring sidewalks east of Sev enth street to be permanently improved by 1904 was passed. Liquor license for restaurant-keepers and others who do not sell by the drink was reduced to $50 a quarter, llayor Howe presided, and all the members were present. -An ordinance regulating street signs and granting an exclusive privilege in the mat ter of erecting such signs and using them for advertising purposes was read twice in ,a. perfunctory manner, and referred to the street committee. An ordinance to provide for the main tenance of receptacles for waste paper and other rubbish on the streets, and to give Albert H. Wise and his assigns the exclusive privilege of erecting and main taining such boxes for 10 years was read twice and referred to the street commit tee. It provides that the boxes shall be of metal, not more than 54 Inches high, nor more than 4& feet square, that all signs placed on them shall be of metal and that sot less than 50 of said boxes shall be erected within six months. An ordinance granting the Portland Traction Company a franchise to build and operate street railways on Burnside street, from First to Thirteenth, and on Thirteenth, from Washington to Burn side, with the privilege of connecting said lines with other railways extending upon First, Fifth and Thirteenth streets, was read twice and referred to the street committee- An ordinance to amend the pound ordi nance, and providing that no animal shall be staked out in any street of the city or m such a manner that it can get on the sidewalk, was read twice and referred to the health and police committee.

An ordinance authorizing the Board of Public Works to dispose of surplus equip ment of the Street-Cleaning and Sprink ling Department, was passed. An ordinance was Introduced authorizing the City & Suburban Railway Company to make certain repairs to Morrison street and Williams avenue, from Stanton street northward. It allows the company to repair Morrison street from Front to Chapman by removing the asphalt be tween the tracks, and for one foot on each s.ide thereof, and putting down a plank roadway in accordance with the specifica tions of the City Engineer. On motion of Mulkey, the ordinance was amended so as to provide that in return for the privilege of being allowed to lay a plank roadway in place of asphalt, the company shall, before July 1, 1904, lay a wide rail on this portion of Morrison street and pave between the tracks and for a foot-on each side with stone blocks on a concrete foundation, in the same manner as has been done at the Intersec tion of Third and Morrison streets. The ordinance as amended passed. The improvement on Williams avenue is to consist in cutting a strip out of the planking on the street, to allow of the laying of a double-track railway. Ordinances declaring the probable cost of certain streets and making appropria tion for the cost thereof as follows were passed: Weldler street, from Williams avenue to East First, $10S4 45.

A list of the streets was printed at the time the ordinance was Introduced. An ordinance declaring the laundry on block 167 a nuisance came up for final passage. The health and police commit tee, on examination, reported that the charge was sustained, and the laundry was a nuisance, but recommended that the ordinance be laid over in order to give the laundry people time to make the alter ations and Improvements suggested by the committee, which was done. An ordinance Introduced some time ago by Mulkey to amend the liquor license ordinance, and providing that restaurant keepers, grocers and druggists, not having bars, and selling liquors in original pack ages, shall hereafter pay a tax of $50 per quarter in addition to an occupation tax, instead of paying a license of $100 per quarter as heretofore, -was put on its final passage and passed. A petition asking for the construction of a sewr in East Washington street was granted, and the City Engineer directed to prepare the necessary plans and specifi cations. Similar action was tafien in regard to a sewer In East Ash street, and on motion of Bronaugh . a petition for a sewer in Hamilton avenue, from Illinois to Front street, south ou Front to Seymour ave- nue, and east on this avenue to the Wil lamette River, was granted," and the City Engineer directed to prepare the necessary plans and specifications. This sewer, from the county road to the river runs through the property of L. Zimmerman, who has agreed to donate the right of way if the sewer is built at once.

The committee .on streets recommended. that the City Engineer be directed to pre pare and submit an estimate of the amount of work and material necessary, and the cost thereof, to place First street, from Madison to Clay. In proper condition; adopted. AWAIT SURVEYOR'S REPORT Commissioners 'Will Tlieix Decide on. Widenns White House Road. The question of widening the Riverside drive, otherwise known as the Macadam road, will be decided by the County Com missioners, after they receive the report of County Surveyor John A Hurlburt re garding the work necessary to be per formed in making the Improvement and the estimated cost. W. B. Steele, who has just assumed the duties of Road master, will also Investigate the matter and make a report. Under the new law, a contract could be let for the Improve ment, or a day's work job made of it. Charles H. Carey, representing the Port land Driving Association, presented the case at the meeting of the County Court yesterday morning. Mr. Carey explained that the plan was to make the general width of the road SO feet, where it Is now 60 feet. In some places It would be neces sary to widen the road 20 feet, and In others not over 10 feet. In instances where the property Is too valuable, it could not be changed at all. For Instance, at Weber Bros.' tannery, the road Is only 30 feet wide; the cemetery bluff Is close up to the road on one side and dwelling houses belonging to the tannery. on the other, neither of which could be moved without considerable cost. Owners along other portions of the road had expressed a willingness to donate the land necessary to make the change. The Surveyor will make a map giving an outline of the road and showing where It can be widened to the best advantage. His survey will contain the contour and elevations. A list of the property-owners along the road, and their position regard ing the project, will be submitted. The feasibility of the whole thing will depend on the Surveyor's report. The idea Is to have greater uniformity of grade for long stretches, a gradual rise or fall, or a level. Now every 50 feet or so there is a little hill, then a drop down into a hollow and up again. As originally laid out, It was a toll road, owned by the Macadam Road Company. which naturally did not do. any more grading that It had to. The road reaches an Important farming section, including Tualatin Valley and Oswego. A large amount of country travel reaches Port land over this route. The manner of improvement suggested Is to lay the center with macadam in a substantial manner for the use of heavy teams, and each side with the natural earth for a driveway for pleasure rigs. A DAY ON THI COLUMBIA RIVER. A visit to Portland Is Incomplete with out devoting at least one day to the Co lumbia River and its magnificent scenery. You can leave Portland at9A.il, any day on the O. R. & N. Co.'s palatial Portland-Chicago special train, lunch at The Dalles or in the dining-car, be back at 4:30 P. M., and have seen the most attractive portion of the Columbia. In making the trip by rail you obtain a near view of the many beautiful cascades, the train coming to a standstill for a few moments at Multnomah Falls, and as the track skirts the south bank of the river the stream and its north chore are constantly In sight. Should you desire a ride on, a river steamer, take the O. R. & N. Co.'s train at 9 A M. any day except Sunday, for Cascade iocks, spena a snort time there, and then board the steamer as she passes through the locks en route to Portland. A more extensive river excursion can be had by leaving Ash-street dock, Port land (dally except Sunday), at 8 P. M. for Astoria, on the O. R. & N. Co.'s fest. electric-lighted steamer "Hassalo," arriv ing at Astoria, 100 miles distant, about daylight; returning, leave Astoria at 7 A M. (except Sunday), arriving at Port land about 5 P.M. All meals can be had on the steamer, and altogether the trip is most delightful, restful and comfort able. Particulars of Willamette River trip can also be had upon application at the O. R. & N.

Iron "Works Bnsy on IrOKETlng; Cnra for Pnjjet Sound Conntry. At the Columbia Iron Works, on East Water street, six logging cars are under construction for Armstrong & Co. The cars are short four-wheel trucks, and provided with gearing for handling big logs In the timber. More work of this kind is being done In Portland Iron plants than ever before. Most all of It comes from logging camps In Washington, where up to a short time ago Seattle shops en joyed a monopoly. John Wood, of the Columbia plant, says that Portland shops are cutting Into this class of work and taking much of It from Seattle, and more can be secured by rustling. East Thirty-third Street. East Thirty-third street, Sunnyslde, is being graded between East Salmon and East Morrison streets, the contract being divided between O. D. Wolfe and Bind & Manning. The low ground between East Taylor and East Yamhill Is being" filled up with dirt from the higher portions of the street 'Between East- Yamhill and Belmont the big stumps are being broken up with charges of powder, heavy enough to do the work and not cause damage to thesurrounding buildings. The street will be -covered with upland" gravel, taken from the North Mount Tabor pit, East Side Rotes. A meeting of Mount Tabor Ladles' Meth odist Foreign Missionary Society was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. E. S. 'Brubaker, West avenue. One of the Interesting features of the gathering was the address 'of Mrs. Earl Cranston, wife of Bishop Cranston, on Japan. The Sellwood Sub-Board of Trade will meet this week on Friday night, instead of Thursday night, at Campbell's Hall. Some Interesting reports will be made. This organization now has nearly 60 names of prominent residents on its roll and the list is growing. Several of the large plate windows of the fine large dwelling, built by the Port land Trust Company, pn Belmont and East Twenty-third streets, have been broken by boys. The building Is vacant. There ls-.a large gang of boys who range through Central East Portland and east ward to the city limits who disfigure and damage every house that happens to be vacant even for a short time. Yesterday afternoon Bay Farier, Harry and Joseph Sequin, employed by' the Oar Factory Company at East Clay and East Water streets, were thrown into the Wil lamette River while loading logs on the truck to be hauled into the factory. A log had been put on the truck and was belngjpuuea up when the car upset. The log struck a float on which the men were standing, throwing them into the water. They were assisted ashore by some menu bers of the Portland Yacht Club. Pleasant Home News. Improvements are under way all through the Pleasant Home district, and carpenters have more work than they can do. Vina 'Stephens is having a cottage built on a lot recently purchased of J. S. Chase. E. M. Carpenter also is putting up a new dwelling. Other houses are being figured on. There never has b'een a time in 10 years when there was so -much work going on in this district as at present. M. A. Ross Post, and Woman's Relief Corps, G. A. R., of Pleasant Home, are preparing to observe Memorial. day May 30, with appropriate exercises. In the forenoon the- graves of the comrades In the cemetery in the rear of the church will be decorated by members of the post and corps Jointly. Then there will be a dinner In the G. A. R. hall. At 1 o'clock the memorial address will be delivered. Dr. Wise has remove to rooms 2U. 212 and 213, The Falling; cor. 3d and Wash. VIEWED DRYDOCK SITES. Chamber of Commerce Committee Takes Trip on Water Front. General Charles F. Beebe, George Tay lor, Jr., and T. W. B. London, of the Chamber of Commerce committee appoint ed to co-ioperate with the Port of Port land Commission for a drydock, made a trip along the river front on the Govern ment launch Dolly yesterday afternoon. Captain Langfltt, United States' Engi neers; President Hughes, of the Port of Portland Commission, and George F. Grant, of San Francisco, accompanied the party. The trip was Informal, and was madefor the purpose of giving the Cham ber of Commerce committee, an opportu nity to look at the river. Both shores as far as the Portland Flouring Mill were examined. Shipping and exporting interests are not falling over each other In an effort to give the Port of Portland Commission the advice- it has asked on location and style of drydock. The commission expected a flood of letters in answer to its adver tisement published in The Oregonian, but only a few have been received. This Is the first time since the commission was created, 10 years ago, that there has been a dearth of people who thought they knew more about running the port than the commission did. The latest letters follow: Wolff & Zwlcker Iron Works, by F. Wolff, President The principal feature of a location should be the depth of water and protection from strong currents and drift. The frequently mentioned Stephens' Slough would be an Ideal place, especially for the Wolff & Zwlcker Iron Works: but, taking a broader view of It, the enormous cost of preparing a basin and abut ments large and deep enough to accommodate a floating dock may be prohibitive. Such a basin must .be 40 feet deep, 200x500 feet at the bottom, with sloping banks. Mr. Swigert, of the Port of Portland Commission, can en lighten you on the cost of the "same. Rail way facilities are not very Important, as the quantities of, material are not very large when a vessel Is repaired In a drydock. At the foot of East Oak street the river is deep and out of the way of shipping, both river and ocean, and accessible to any Arm and locally situ ated for all concerned. Apparently, the ad joining' property Is not much used, conse quently not much revenue from it, and may possibly be secured for a reasonable sum. The drydock can be protected from drift by piles. Balfour, Guthrie & Co., grain exporters, by T. W.' B." London While we are very pleased' to see that steps are being taken to provide this highly desirable adjunct to our shipping facilities, and would do all in our power to assist the enterprise, we hesitate to express opinions on such important matters as loca tion, style of dock, etc.. as -eve consider the questions presuppose an intimate knowledge of the nature of the ground, depth of water and action of the currents not possessed by us, and, generally speaking, call for the highest grades of technical skill. We would, however, merely suggest that the off-shore type of dock, constructed of wood, seems to merit your care ful consideration. CAR LINE TO MOUNT HOOD. Steepest Heights Could Be Scaled ly Compressed Air Power, CORNELIUS, Or., April 30 One of the uses to which the water power at Oregon City could be put would be the operation of cars to Mount Hood. A party of which I was a member, last Summer, made the ascent of that moun tain, and was greatly impressed with the feasibility of the scheme, and with its financial possibilities. Such lines are be ing successfully operated In different places, though on a amaller scale. We do not need to go farther than to Portland .Heights or Seattle & Renton Railway to see this exemplified, on tne latter, wnicn Is a motor line, the supplementary power needed to take the cars up a long grade Is supplied by an underground tram and toggle arrangement, with a cable. Tlie objects of a motor line, say, from Oregon City to the top of Mount Hood, would be, first, to furnish transportation for dairy, wood and farm products in Clackamas County. Second, to accommo date passengers and excursionists. Third, to transport ice to the cities of the Val ley. From the experience of companies who have succesfully operated motor lines In hilly or mountainous districts, we know that it Is necessary, In order to carry the cars up a heavy grade, to supplement the electrical power by some buoyant force, equal, at least, to the weight of the cars ascending. This Is done sometimes by balanclng descending cars by cables run by steam or water power, or by pneu matic engines. Since the recent develop ments of the latter as a motive power, I believe that It could be most successfully applied to a line as herein described. Where the main bulk and weight of trans portation would be coming down grade, this weight could be made to compress the air In stationary reservoirs, at the same time easing the loaded cars down the grade like an air-brake, by means of a cable. This compressed energy, the power reversed, would cause the same cable to bring the empty cars and all necessary traffic up the grades again, with no additional power than the uni form electrical volume which would car. ry cars on level grades. This can be operated by applying and combining the principles demonstrated to be practical in the laws of pneumatics already discovered and appliances now in use. The Inclines where this supplementary power would be needed could be arranged by competent engineers Into series for the convenience of reservoirs and cables, leav ing miles between where no supplement ary -power or cables would be needed. KITCHEN EXPENSES. Reduced by Ready-Cooked Grape Nuts. "Modern food save? gas bills (cooking), labor and doctor's bills, and the food I refer to is Grape-Nuts," says a Chicago woman. "We have used Grape-Nuts over ayear. I weighed, when I began using it, about 100 pounds, but have gained 22 pounds since. I have recovered entirely from dys pepsia since using this delicious food. My' huslsand and children enjoy Grapc iiuts as, much a3 I do, and they have all been decidedly benefited by its use. "My baby is very much healthier than my other two children were at his age. I attribute the difference to the use I have made' of Grape-Nuts Food. "Of course, it Is a great advantage to have a food that Is already cooked and sure to be in good condition. This is not always true of many cereals." Mrs. Geo. S. Foster, 1025 "Wabansla avenue, Chicago, 111. DALLAS OPTICAL PARLORS 218-19 FAILING BUILDING Corner Third and Washington Streets.

EUGENE "W. MOON. Protecting: Street Signs. PORTLAND, May 1. (To the Editor.) In view of the proposition to give the city new street signs, It may not be out of place to ask whether there Is at present any provision for the protection of street signs new or old? It seems such a waste of money to put up such signs and permit boys to batter them Into Illegibil ity, as -Is constantly being done with the signs now in use. If there is an existing ordinance providing a - penalty for this offense, why is it not, in at least a few instances, enforced? I have recently, wit nessed the destruction of the street signs at the Intersection of East Eighth and Schuyler streets, and can give the names of at least two of the boys who did the stone-throwing. If nothing can be done to put a stop to this very prevalent prac tice among boys, I, as a taxpayer, would suggest the advisability of either doing without street signs, or of having them "loadeu" in some way for the hoodlums.
