CLASH OVER MORRISON STREET
Council Directed Rail-way Company
to Slalce Repairs, and Somebody
Ckansed the Orders All
Smoothed Over.
A meeting: of the Board oC Public
"Works -was held yesterday. Mr. Mac
master, In the absence from the city of
Chairman Mills, presided, and Messrs.
Maxwell, "Williams and City Engineer
Chase were present. Mayor Rowe was
also there. The ..principal matter which
came betore the board was an apparent
clash of .authority between the board and
the Common Council, which in the end
was smoothed over by Mr, Chase assum
ing for himself and Chairman Mills a
large share of the responsibility for the
-cause of the trouble and throwing the re
mainder on the officials of the City &
Suburban Railway Company. Then peace
brooded like a dove over the meeting.
The following communication from the
Common Council explains the situation:
Portland, Nov. 12, 1901. To the Honorable
Board of Public "Works of the City of Portland,
Or., Gentlemen: At a regular meeting of the
Common Council, held on the 23d day of Octo
ber. 180L the Auditor was Instructed to inquire
from the City & Suburban Hallway Company
when the repair of Morrison street, as begun
under the provisions of ordinance No. 12,138,
would be completed. In pursuance of such in
structions, a letter was addressed by the Aud
itor to the said company, containing, among
other things the following query:
"Mr. H. C Campbell, Manager of the City
& Suburban Railway Company The Common
Council also desires Information as to the time
when the repair of Morrison street, begun by
your company, will be completed.
THOMAS C. DEVLIN, Auditor."
In reply a letter was received and presented
to the Common Council at its regular session
of November 6, whica contained the following
answer to the query:
"Portland. Oct. SO, 1001. In regard to repairs
on Morrison street, we wish to state that this
matter was talked over with the City Engineer
and the Board of Public Works and a thor
ough understanding was arrived at and agreed
upon between ourselves and this honorable
body. H. C. CAMPBELL
"General Manager City & Suburban Railway
Company."
Said letter was then placed on file, and the
Auditor instructed to communicate with the
Board of Public "Works as to the authority by
whloh. the board could authorize a change in
the character of the repairs to be made on said
street, and for what reason ordinance No. 12,
1SS (a copy of which is Included herewith and
made a part of this communication), can be
set aside and disregarded. The Common Coun
cil, in requesting this Information fpom the
Board of Public "Works, begs leave to submit
that upon request of the said Board of Public
"Works the provisions of the franchise under
whloh the City & Suburban Railway Company
operates its cars on Morrison street were modi
fied and a temporary improvement permitted
to be put in on said street, greatly to the ad
vantage of the City & Suburban Railway Com
pany. THOMAS C. DEVLIN, Auditor.
Ordinance 12,138, mentioned In Auditor
Devlin's communication, provides that,
upon the City & Suburban Railway Com
pany agreeing to lay and have completed
by July 3, 1904, a modern rail the entire
length of Morrison street, and to pave
the street between the tracks and for a
foot outside the tracks, with stone blocks
upon a concrete foundation, or any other
Improvement of a like kind as may be
approved by the Board of Public Works,
the company Is released from maintain
ing the present asphalt pavement on Its
right of way on Morrison street, and Is
authorized to repair and maintain Morri
son street from Front to Chapman, by re
moving the asphalt from between the
tracks and .for a foot outside the tracks
and putting down a plank roadway, in
accordance with specifications of the En
gineer. The City & Suburban Railway Company
proceeded to repair Morrison street, in ac
cordance with this agreement, and had
completed the repairs from Chapman
street down to Park street, when the work
was stopped, as Is alleged in H. C. Camp
bell's reply to the query of the Council.
"on account of the matter having been
talked over with the City Engineer and
the Board of Public "Works and a thorough
understanding having been arrived at and
agreed upon between ourselves and this
honorable body."
With the presentation of the Council's
communication asking by what outhorlty
the Board of Public Works could author
ize a change In the character of the 're
pairs, and for what reason ordinance
12,138 was set aside, the matter was fairly
up to the board.
' "What . Mast Company Do f
"Does the ordinance make it mandatory
on the railway company to put down a.
wood Improvement?" asked Engineer
Rowe explained that the coropany
iad Tcmonstrated against repaving the
street with asphalt, and by request of the
Board of Public Works the Council had
passed ordinance No. 12.1SS. allowing tne
oompany to make a plank repair. The
Board of Public Works had allowed them
to stop putting down plank and to go on
filling up the holes with broken stone.
Mr. Macmaster said the arrangement
for putting broken stone along the tracks
applied only to Third street, so Chairman
Mills had told him. Mr. Chase eald Mr.
Campbell was mistaken In the statement
he had made, and he absolved the Board
of Public Works from any fault in the
matter. He wont on to say that the plank
ing was not very satisfactory and there
had been some complaint about it. The
planking had been completed down to
Park street when Mr. Corbett insisted
that a grooved rail be laid on Morrison
street.
To Lay a Grooved Rail.
Mayor Rowe said the company had
agreed to put a grooved rail on the street,
In order to obtain permission to make a
plank Improvement instead of an asphalt
one.
Mr. Chase continued: "The company or
dered the rails and was anxious to put
them down at once, if they could get them.
and desired to be allowed to quit the
plank repair pending the arrival of the
rails. The matter never came before the
boaTd and the board never authorized the
Improvement to be stopped. Mr. Swigert,
oi tne city & su Durban, met me In Mr.
Mills' omce, and it was concluded that it
"would be better to wait a while and have
the grooved rails put down than to com
plete the planking. We gave a tacit
consent. When the company found that
they could not get the grooved rails this
season, they proceeded to fill up the holef
along the track with crushed stone, as a
temporary repair, till the rails should ar
rive. The board never voted on the mat
ter," continued Mr. Chase; "Mr. Mills and
I are the only guilty parties."
Mr. Chase was asked when the com
pany expect to receive the rails and sala
net till Spring. He said it seemed unrea
sonable to compel the company to lay
down planks when the new rails might be
put down In a little while.
The Board Not Pledged.
Mr. Williams said it seemed plain that
the Engineer and Mr. Mills never under
took to pledge the board. Mr. Campbell
had not been candid in his statement. He
should have stated what the agreement
arrived at -was. Evidently the Engineer
and .Mr. Mills only deserved to save tbo
railway company the expense of putting
down planks Vvhen they were expecting
4o get the .new rails In a lew weeks; but
Vhen they found they could not get the
rails they should have gone on with the
planking.
A general discussion of the matter fol
' jfaanr -ki- -'Je i....r .1. 4.. ,.
lowed. Mr. Chase was of opinion that
the plank improvement was an undesira
ble one,. and that there was good sense
in not proceeding with It
Mr. Williams thought the asphalt pave
ment ought to have been repaired and that
It was a mistake to have allowed plank
to be put down at all.
Mayor Rowe said the street was in bud
condition and should have been put in
order. He could see no propriety in the
company being allowed to quit the. plank
repair. In order to save them a little
money, arter they had been allowed to
substitute plank for asphalt, to save
them expense. The Council had started
in last Spring to get the street put In
order and It had not been done yet. II
the company intended to Jill the holes
along the tracks with broken stone, they
should not be allowed to do it.
It was suggested that tne Engineer be in
structed to have the railway company
proceed with the improvement- of the
street at once, but this was decided not
to be .necessary, as they had never been
authorized to stop the improvement.
The Trouble All Settled.
-Finally, to settle the status of the board
in the matter, the following resolution of
fered by Williams, was adopted:
Resolved. That the Clerk be instructed to In
form the Common Council that no arrangement
whatever was ever entered into concerning
the repair of Morrison street between this

THE RESIDENCE IX WHICH AMOS X. KING LIVED SIXCE 1850.
The funeral of the late pioneer, Amos N. King, will be held from the family residence, near the corner of Twentieth and
Washington streets, at 1:30 this afternoon. Rev. Dr. E. P. Hill will conduct the services. The Interment, which will be pri
vate, will be at Rlvervlew cemetery. Following Is the list of pall-bearere, all of whom have been life-long friends of the de
ceased: Judge M. C. George, Tyler Woodward, D. W. Wakefield, A. B. Stuart, F. Opltz and George L. Story.
The news of Mr. King's death came as a shock to his many friends among Portland's business men and pioneer residents.
He had been In vigorous health up to within a few days of his death, and the news of his Illness had not been spread
widely abroad. Many messages of sympathy 'were received by his family yesterday, coming from men and women who knew
and appreciated the -worth of the deceased pioneer, and who feel his loss as deeply as they would that of a near relative.
Nearly all the members of his family are now In the city. ,

board and the City & Suburban Railway Com
pany, and that this board has not at any time
attempted to set aside or disregard the pro
visions of ordinance No. 12.138, or any other
ordinance made by that honorable body, and
further that this board has at alL times and
will continue to its utmost to transact its
business, so far as it properly may. In accord
with tho expressed wish of the Common Coun
cil, and in conformity with the ordinances duly
passed thereby.
Engineer Chase said that he would it
once Instruct the City & Suburban Rail
way Company to proceed to complete the
plank improvement on the right of way
on Morrison street, and all was serene.
Side-walks' Mont Be Built.
On motion, the City Engineer was au
thorized to proceed to make a number of
sidewalk repairs, and have the expense
made a Hen on the property, the owncrq
having failed and neglected to comply
with notice served on them.
The ordinance granting the City &. Su
burban Railway Company a franchise
to construct and operate a street railway
on East Twenty-eighth street was ap
proved. The Council was authorized to advertise
for bids for the construction of sewer.s
In East Ankeny, East Eighteenth, Kear
ney, Commercial and Sixteenth streets.
Bids for the construction of a sewer in
Hamilton avenue were opened. J. W.
Sweeney bid ?3910 30 and J. B. Slemmons
$3782 ao. Bids submitted a short time ago
were rejected as too high. Mr. Slemmons
bid being the lowest and $273 lees than
any former bid, the contract was awarded
to him. City Engineer Chase's estimate
of the cost was about $3100, and he said
if It were the Summer season, he should
object to the contract being awarded; but
the property-owners were anxious to have
the work done and had requested that the
contract be awarded at once.
FOR LOVERS OF FINE ART.
Beautiful Collection of Miniatures
and Bronzes Is Here.
The Portland Art Association and the
Portland Art Class take great pleasure
in announcing to all art lovers in Port
land a loan collection of miniatures and
bronzes. Since the revival of miniature
painting scarcely more than 10 years ago,
the names of a dozen painters of this
charming "art In little" have come into
prominence, and taken their places In the
foremost ranks of artists. Chief among
these are the Americans, led by Miss
Laura C. Hills, of Boston; Mr. J. Baer.
Miss Humphreys, Mrs. Lucia Fairchild
Fuller, Mr. William Whlttemore and
others, scarcely less well-known.
Examples of the work of these men and
women are now to be seen In Portland
for the tirst time, many of them having
been exhibited In Paris and at the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo, where
their beauty and artistic value have re
ceived bigh praise from critics competent
of passing judgment. Through the 'cour
tesy of their owners, In Portland, some
beautiful miniatures have been lent, and
of especial Interest are two portrait heads,
the work of Helen Savier DuMond, and
one example of seventeenth and one of
eighteenth century work. There will also
be exhibited some fine specimens of Jap
anese and Chinese bronzes a small but
choice collection of French medals and
bas-reliefs and other Interesting examples
of the medallist's art. Of chief Interest,
however, will be the bas-relief by Olin
S. Warner, the greatest American sculp
tor, among these the famous medallions
of the Indian chiefs and several portrait
heads.

A PLAN OF ACTION
Programme for Lewis and
Clark Preliminaries.
TO BE SEVENTEEN COMMITTEES
Unmistakable Sentiment Against
Using: Subscribed Funds for Buy
ing: Real Estate for the Cele
bration To Same Solicitors.
A plan of action was adopted last night
for the guidance of the preliminary execu
tive committee for the Lewis and Clark
celebration. This plan Includes getting
Ists of property-owners who pay taxes
on valuations of 51000 or more
-
O '
in two classes, those above $10,
000 and those between J1000 and
$10,000; a list of all otliers financially able
to support the cclebratlbn; and the sec
tioning of the city, not geographically,
but by professions, businesses or trades,
for soliciting subscriptions to the stock
of the corporation to have charge of the
celebration of 1903, a canvassing commit
tee to have charge of'each of the 17, sec
tions. The executive committee went on
record very positively against the use or
any part of the capital of this corporation
for the purchase of real estate for any
part of the celebration.
The Plan of Action.
The full report of the subcommittee on
plan of action was the ilrst thing that
came up -for consideration, and it was as
follows:
Portland, Or., Nov. 11, 1901. To the execu
tive committee appointed to act with H. W.
Corbett, J. M. Long and Samuel Connell, for
the purpose of organizing the corporation to
be known as the Lewis and Clark Centennial,
American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair:
We, your committee appointed to repor.t a
plan for canvasslnir the City of Portland, to
place the capital stock of raid foregoing cor
poration, beg leave to report as follows:
Pursuant to the call of our chairman, we
met in the parlors of the First National Bank
at 4 P. M.. this date, H. W. Corbett presiding
and all members being present. The subject
referred to us was thoroughly considered, and
it is our opinion that the stock Issue of said
coriwratlon should be pledged as early as prac
ticable. The canvass of the city should bo
carefully planned, and, once begun. It should
be conducted systematically and expeditiously.
To that end, we recommend the following
course of procedure:
First There shall be prepared at once a list
of all persons, firms and corporations In Mult
nomah County that pay taxes on an assessed
valuation of $10,000 and over.
Second At a later date there shall be pre
pared a list of all taxpayers who pay taxes
upon an assessed valuation of over $1000, but
under $10,000.
Third There shall be prepared a Hat of all
persons known to be financially able to assist
this enterprise.
That the varied commercial, financial. Indus
trial and professional Interests of Portland
may be reached In the canvass, we recom
mend that committees be organized as follows:
First A committee on bankers', brokers, safe
deposits and security companies.
Second A committee on corporations, other
than railroads and banks.
Third A committee on transportation com
panies. .
Fourth A committee on hotels and restaur
ants. Fifth A committee on breweries and whole
sale and retail liquor dealers.
Sixth A committee on wholesale houses.
Seventh A committee on manufacturers ex
clusively. Eighth A committee on retail dealers In dry
goods, clothing, boots and shoes and furnishing
goods.
Ninth A committee on retail grocers.
Tenth A committee on dealers In furniture,
hardware and drugs.
Eleventh A committee on life, fire and acci
dent Insurance agents and real estate agents.
Twelfth A committee on physicians and
dentists.
Thirteenth A. committee on lawyers.
Fourteenth A committee on mines and
miners. '
Fifteenth A committee on grain exporters
and commission merchants.
Sixteenth A committee" on capitalists and
real estate owners.
Seventeenth A committee on organized labor.
If, after the foregoing committees have can
vassed the Interests entrusted to them, and
have resorted the result of their work, there
shall be required another committee, we rec
ommend that three persons be named in each
of the 54 election precincts of the City of
Portland, In all 102 persons, who shall be
known as the reserve committee, whose duty It
shall be tc make a further canvass of the elec
tion precincts.
We recommond that a committee of 15 be
appointed by this executive committee for the
purpose of selecting the committees to make
the canvass for subscriptions; and that said
canvassing committees shall be composed of
the members of the executive committee of 35
and of the persons whose names will be pre
aanted at this meeting. In accordance with the
motion of General Summers, adopted at the
- i nL2 .-J&LKLZA4tAi&l-,hi'!:2i.ifr.
meeting of the executive committee on No
vember 0.
We recommend that John P. Cordray be
elected a member of the executive committee.
In the place of XV. H. Hurlburt. who will be
absent from Portland while the canvass is ln
progress.
We recommend that Ben Selling be elected a
member of the executive committee. In place
of Ed Ehrman, who will be absent from Port
land while the canvass Is In progress.
We recommend that notice be given In the
newspapers of the time when the various com
mittees will start upon their tours through the
city to obtain subscriptions, that our citizens
may be ready to respond promptly when the
committees coll upon them.
It is the sense of this committee that labor
and kindred organizations shall take such ac
tion as In their Judgment will further this Im
portant enterprise; and that school teachers
will encourage their pupils to take an Interest
In the great expedition of Lewis and Clark, thf
centennial anniversary of which Portland is
preparing to celebrate.
We recommend that the various stores that
use the columns of The Oregonlan and other
newspapers for display advertising donate their
space, on a date to be designated by the ex
ecutive committee, for the purpose of adver
tising the fact that all plans have been com
pleted for placing the stock Issue of the 1003
Fair, and that committees are about to take
the field to canvass for subscriptions. We
recommend that Adolphe Wolfe, H. C. Wort
man and Julius L. Meier be appointed a com-
- ---e--e-
mlttee to carry this recommendation Into ef
fect. Respectfully submitted,
H. W. CORBETT,
H. W. SCOTT,
H. C. CAMPBELL,
ADOLPHE WOLFE,
I. N. FLEISCHNER.
H. W. Scott explained that the reference
to use of advertising space of patrons
of The Oregonlan was embodied in the
report at the suggestion of Mr. Wolfe.
He had proposed that feature, and it had
been accepted by Mr. Scott, as a means
of awakening Interest Just at the time
when the canvass for subscriptions should
bo. about to begin.
The report was unanimously adopted.
Secretary H. E. Reed reported that John
F. Cordray, when notified of his appoint
ment on the executive committee, had re
plied that he would be glad to serve, but
that Ben Selling had asked a day In
which to consider the matter before ac
cepting or declining the appointment.
Many Names Suggested.
In response to the request made at a
previous meeting for members of the ex
ecutive committee to present names ot
men who would make suitable canvassers,
158 names were suggested. Then it was
moved that the committee of 15 named in
the report be selected by the subcommit
tee of five that had made the report, and
before the motion was adopted the sub
committee of five was made a part of the
committee of 15, leaving It merely the
duty of selecting 10 others to act with it
in naming the canvassers. This was car
ried, together with a provision giving tne
committee of 15 power to add other can
vassing committees than those mentioned
in the report, if it'should sec fit to do so.
Adolphe Wolfe atked what provision
had been made for ascertaining whether
the men whose names had been suggested
for canvassers would serve or not. Ho
had not much faith In letters or tele
phone notifications. He had personally in
terviewed the men he suggested, and in
each case found it necessary to spend
some time In presenting the matter prop,
erly before them not merely urging them
to serve, but in getting, them actively
interested In the project. When the sub
ject should be properly presented, he be
lieved citizens generally would do their
duty.
"It Is so easy for business men to de
cline such service on one pretext or an
othcr or on no pretext at all," said Mr.
BAD DREAMS.
Caused by Coffee.
"I have been a coffee drinker, more or
less, ever since I can remember, until a
few onths ago I became more and more
nervous and irritable, and finally I cpuld
not sleep at night for I was horribly dis
turbed by dreams of all sorts and a spec
ies of distressing nightmare.
"Finally, after hearing the experience
of numbers of friends who had quit coffee
and gone to drinking Postum Food Cof
fee, and learning of the great benefits
they had derived, I concluded coffee must
be the cause of my trouble, so I got some
Postum Food Coffee and had It made
strictly according to directions.
"I was astonished at the flavor and taste.
It entirely took the place of coffee, and
to my great satisfaction, I began to
sleep peacefully and sweetly. My nerves
improved, and I wish I could warn every
man, woman and child from the unwhole
some drug, ordinary coffee.
"People really do not appreciate or
realize what a powerful drug it Is and
what terrible effect It has on the human
system. If they did. hardly a pound of
it would be sold. I would never think
of going back to coffee again. I would
almost as soon think of putting my hand
In a fire after I had once been burnt.
"A young lady friend of ours had
stomach trouble for a long time, and
could not get well as long as she used
coffee. She finally quit coffee and began
the use of Postum Food Coffee and Is
now perfectly well. Yours for health.
Don't publish my name." Herlng-

Wolfe. "We require just such material
as has been presented here tonight for
the work to be done. We should take the
proper means for getting all these men
interested."
Mr. Stelnbach wished to make it the
duty of the committee of fifteen to see
personally all the men whom it should
appoint on the soliciting committees, and
if any should decline, to fill the vacancies.
Mr. Devers favored the plan of having
each member present interview the men
whose names he had presented and get
their acceptances. The chair pointed out
that? Tnore names had been presented than
there would be room for on the commit
tees, and that it would be awkward to
get acceptances ot men and then not be
able to use them. After considerable dis
cussion it was finally agreed that the
names suggested should be a reserve list
so far as they exceed the number neces
ary to form the canvassing committees;
that the committee of fifteen get the con
sent of as many as possible, and that a
meeting of all the canvassers be called,
at which their sentiments regarding the
canvass and their service might be ex
pressed; that each canvassing committee
of three should be authorized to call to its
assistance such others as it might deem
needful.
Mr. Wolfe submitted a list of all the
property-owners In Multnomah County
who paid taxes on valuations of $10,000
or more last year, saying that Assessor
McDoncll had supplied the list readily on
an informal request and without compen
sation. The list for this year is not yet
available. "It was not urged that the tax
list should be taken as a basis for levy
ing contributions, but merely as a general
guide to canvassers in giving Information
as to the proper sum for each to sub
scribe, It being taken for granted that
every man would be eager to do his duty.
Mr. Wittenberg again brought up the
question of making the shares of stock
smaller than 510. Mr. Willis believed
that this would not be necessary; that
the whole $300,000 would be subscribed
without taking sums less than $100 each.
The matter was left open.
Xo Real Estate Purcnase.
Mr. Cruthers said he had heard the
fear expressed that part of the money
raised for the Lewis and Clark celebra
tion would be used for buying real estate,
and asked that some assurance be given
the timid that no such use of the money
would be made. Chairman Corbett said
the' question had not before come up,
and he had not supposed that it would,
but he personally was opposed to buying
land for the fair, and the rest of the com
mittee was of the same opinion, so far
as ho knew. He said there were plenty
of people willing to donate the use of
the land necessary. Mr. Scott said the
Idea of purchasing land for that purpose
from the $300,000 capital of this corpora
tlon was not to be thought of at all. If
the city should choose to buy land for a
park, so that it might aid this celebra
tion, that might be done, for the city
Is a permanent organization, but none
of this fund or any other that may be sub
scribed should go for the purchase of
real estate. Such was on motion declared
to be the sense of the committee, It hav
ing no power to put the matter stronger.
Chairman Corbett called a meeting of
the subcommittee of five to select the
committee of fifteen for naming the can
vassing committees at the First National
Bank for 11 o'clock this morning, and the
executive committee adjourned subject to
call of the chair.
SCHOTT'S FAREWELL RECITAL
A Brilllnnt Audience Greeted Him
Last Xixrht at Parsons Hall.
Anton Schott's sojourn of three years
in Portland has been a potent Influence
in the musical development of the com
munity; It was but natural therefore that
his friends should give him hearty greet
ing last night at the farewell recital given
on. the eve of his departure for New York.
There he Is to enter the great maelstrom
again, and do the part his own career has
so admirably fitted him for that of pre
paring singers for grand opera. Before
Anton Schott's coming there was little
Interest here in Wagner. But the genial
German giant, with the big voice and a
dramatic delivery that has never been
equaled In Portland, soon converted many
music-iovers into ardent Wagner-worshipers.
The privilege of enjoying a singer
who for a quarter of a century had all
Europe at his feet was appreciated.
The German Heder received new life
through the dramatic Intensity and vivid,
life-stirring power of h7s interpretation.
His superb rendering of Schumann's "Die
Grenadiere" which could hardly fall to
Are the coldest audience in Christendom
has already become a part of our local
history. Of course, this was on the pro
gramme last night, and, of course, it
brought the same outburst of spontaneous
and Irrepressible enthusiasm with which it
has always been greeted.
The first part of last night's programme
was popular In character, embracing se
lections from Meyerbeer and others, while
the latter half was devoted exclusively
to Wagner. Hcrr Schott was In excellent
voice, and gave a number of solos, the
"Evening Star," from "Tannhauser," be
ing rendered with particularly beautiful
effect. He was assisted by nearly 20 of
his pupils, MI&s Schuccklng, Mr. Vannoa
and Miss Reba Hobson taking a more
prominent part than the others, who con
fined themselves to concerted work.
The large and cultured audience which
completely filled Parsons Hall 'was a
worthy demonstration of tne esteem in
which Anton Schott is held by Portland
music-lovers, and of the good wishes that
follow him across the continent to his new
home.
