,H0W ABOUT MARKET
J3ity Authorities Consider the
Project,
tTO LEASE OLD EXPOSITION SITE
Private "Corporation Submits Plan to
."Council and Board of Public
"Works Opposition From
the Granges.
tr
'
v'
The city authorities are undecided &a
to the market proposition submitted by
a private corporation. The Union Mar
ket Company -wants a 10 scars lease
on the old Mechanics' Fair block, and
agrees to remove the old structure and
erect modern market buildings. The
Granges of Multnomah and Clackamas
County apear to be opposed to the
project In Its present shape.
A joint session of the Board of Public
"Works and Common Council -was held at
3 o'clock yesterday to consider the propo
sition of the Union Market Company to
lease the Market block, between Second
and Third, Clay and Market streets, for
a term of 10 years, to remove the old Ex
position building, and to erect a modern
market on the premises.
Chairman Mills, and Messrs. MacMas
ter, Williams, Maxwell and Breyman, of
the Board of Public Works, and Messrs.
Branch, Bronaugh, GHsan, Masters, Mul
lcey and iJealond, of the Council, were
present. So were Mayor Rowe, City Engi
neer Chase and Auditor Devlin. A delega
tion from Multnomah Pomona Grange,
consisting of J. J. Johnson, A. F. Miller
and C. H. Welch, was present to reore
sent the farmers of Multnomah and Clack
amas Counties, and to urge that the city
take in hand the matter of providing a
market and furnish accommodations for
farmers at reasonable rates, and receive
the "benefits of the Income therefrom.
'Charkb W. Miller, of Miller & Miller, ap
peared as the representative of the Union
Market Company, and read the proposition
which the company bad presented to the
Counctl, as follows:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, the Union Mar
ket Company, incorporated, realizing the ned
and great importance to the City of Portland
of a fienral public market place, and Its mm
Eers being familiar with the public market
systems of many of the large cities In the
Eastern States, and knowing the great benefits
and advantages to be derhed by the citizens
at large bj the establishment and maintenance
of a proper public market place, and realizing
that the time Js opportune -when the City of
Portland should take adanced grounds in this
matter, and knowing that the cltj now owns
and controls a suitable block of ground well
located, and which can readily be adapted to
the purposes of such public market place, re
spectfully petition as follows:
That In consideration the city will rent, let
and Icaee to said company said block 132, be
ing bounded by Second and Third, Clay and
Market streets, for the perio dof 10 years, with
the prl liege to said company to demolish and
remoe therefrom the structures now occupjlng
said block.
The caid company will proceed within SO days
from the date of said lease to improve said
block, and the whole thereof, by the erection
thereon of all such structures as shall be
most necessary and convenient for the use and
accommodation of a public market place. All
such structures erected to be In accordance
with the plans and specifications herewith sub
mitted, and to be approed by the City Engi
neer. It is the purpose of said company, provided
paid lease Is granted, to establish, conduct and
maintain on said grounds for a period of 10
years, without expense to the city, a suitable
public market, and to maintain the same In a
sanitary and orderly condition, open to the pub
lic during tho market hours of all days in the
week; to rent space In the main building for
the use and accommodation of merchants and
others desiring to rent the same; to provide not
Jess than two large rooms, free of rent, for the
women's rests.
The entire block, aside from that to be occu
pied by the main building, is to be co ered with
asphalt pavement, with concrete base. From
the roonthl rent of space within the main
building Is to be proilded a sinking fund with
which to pay the outlay necessary for the con
templated improvements, and it is particularly
requested In this connection that the city au
thorities establish a uniform schedule of rates
to be charged and paid for the team space
outside of the main building, which rate shall
be a reasonable charge for the expense Incurred
In conducting and maintaining the market.
Inasmuch as the sidewalks surrounding said
block are in a very dilapidated condition. It Is
requested that the city authorities rebuild the
same In a proper manner for the accommoda
tion of the company. In case said leasehold
Interest shall be granted.
That at the expiration of 10 years the com
pany, upon request, will surrender to the city
said block, building and Improvements there
on, and the control of said market, without
cost. In consideration of the free use of said
block for said 10 jears. And your petitioners
will everpraj, etc
A Question by the Mayor.
3Iayor Rovxe asked what was meant by
providing a sinking fund to pay the outlay
'for the improvements. He wished to know
If the buildings were to be put up with
other people's money or whether the com
pany -would use Its own money to build
them.
I Mr. Miller said the company would put
a:p the buildings and pay for them, and
recoup itself from the proceeds of rent
lor stalls, etc; and he exhibited drawings
and specifications, and a plat of the floor
plan, for examination. In reply to other
questions, Mr. Miller said that It was the
Intention of the company to remove the
old building entirely, and to grade the
block and pave the ground for 70 feet on
(the north and south sides with asphalt on
'a strong cement foundation. It was
thought that a wooden floor in the central
building would be best. The market will
.comprise af main building, 40x200 feet,
end 20 feet high to Joists, with an addition
!l2V feet wide and 12!4 feet high on each
Bide, making the central structure, Tun
ning through the middle of the block from
6econd to Third street, 65x200 feet. There
"will be a driveway on eaoh side of this
building, 1V& feet wide, and on each side
lof the block a building 50 feet wide and
J200 feet long, in which are to be stalls for
'the sale of farm produce, hay, wood, etc.,
open at the eldes and ends. The proposed
(buildings and the concrete and asphalt
'pavement, would cost about $12,000. He
explained that, owing to the slope of the
I ground, the pavement would have to be
jhlgher on the south side of the block than
'on the north side, and that It was thought
that a wooden floor in the central building,
I which would be occupied by merchants,
I would be more comfortable than asphalt;
but. If the Council desired asphalt there,
Mr. Miller thought this could be arranged.
Mr. Miller was asked if the company
ideeired that the charges for stalls should
'be regulated by the Council. He said
jthe company would regulate the charges
In the central building, which would be
'occupied by merchants; but the city wouia
ircgulate the charges for the outside space,
!tp be occupied by teams. He thought the
Income for the use of the block would be
about $800 to 5900 per year. He predicted
that, before 10 years, the city would have
four markets. If the city did not build
"them, some one else would. This market
would be the entering wedge, "but "for
beaven's sake, do something and let us
have a market," he said.
A general discussion was then, entered
into in regard to the methods of managing
markets in other cities, the charges, costs
of operation, and the income they yielded
to cities which owned and operated them,
and It appeared that members of both the
Board of Public Works and the Common
Council had been looking into these mat
ters quite extensively.
Grange Delegate Opposes.
J. J. Johnson, of the delegation from
Multnomah Pomona Grange, said the
farmers in this section had taken consider
able Interest in this movement for a mar
ket. They were Jn favor of the city own
ing and operating the market and making
reasonable charges, and being benefited by
the profits. He was not prepared to say
Just what kind of a market they wanted,
or what would be best for the city, but he
would oppose the present scheme on busi
ness grounds. He then read extracts from
letters and reports in regard to tho mar
kets of Eastern cities, cost of operation
and profits derived from them. He asked
that action on the matter be postponed.
As they had waited so long for a market,
they might as well wait a little longer and
make further investigations and get things
right in the end. He said the various
Grange had adopted strong resolutions in
favor of the matter being postponed for
another year, and some scheme be evolved
which would be for the benefit of the city
and all concerned.
Mr. Miller said it would be the best thing
for the city to provide a market, and, if
the city went into the market business,
no private persons would attempt to run
opposition. -But It was very desirable that
there be a market, and, if the city was not
prepared to furnish one, it would be best
to let the company do It. This would be
only one market. The city could put in
another and run it, and see how the busi
ness uould go.
It was finally decided that the Board of
Public Works and the Common Council
should separately consider the matter, and
meet at the call of the chairman to agree
upon their decision.

NURSING FOR THE POOR.
Public Mectlnjr to Be Held This
aiornlnpr to Discuss Measures.
This morning at 10:30 oclockthere will
be a public meeting at the chapel of the
Unitarian Chutch, Seventh and Yamhill
streets, whn the work to be undertaken
by the Visiting Nurse Association of Port
land will be outlined. Addresses will be
delivered by Dr. Woods Hutchinson, Rev.
Dr. Edgar P. Hill, Mrs. .Morgan, a trained
nurse, and others. It is desirable that as
large an attendance as possible be secured,
both men and women, to learn for them
selves the urgent need of free nursing
among the poor being started in this city
without delay.
Physicians, district visitors, clergymen
of different denominations, and others
unite in saying that the amount of sick
ness among the worthy poor in this city
is showing a marked Increase, and that
most of the afflicted ones either cannot or
will not go to one of the city hospitals.
In many cases the ailment Is not of such
a serious nature that removal to a hos-t
pltal is advisable, but the Invalid remains
at home and suffers and the chance of
Infection Is Increased, without skilled
nurses ready to administer relief and to
make sick folks well. Assistance is to be
asked from the various churches of the
city, so that gifts of clothing, etc., will
be usk! to relieve sufferers.
An effort will be made to get as many
members to Join the association as possi
ble, so that the dues and contributions
which will be received can be used prompt.
ly to secure.one or more nurses. The dues
are only $3 per year, and those who care
to do so can give larger sums to help
the general work of the association. Many
members of similar societies In New York
City, Boston and other places give $10
per year, and sometimes more than that,
for their memberships.
Mrs. S. S. Wise is president and Miss
G. Wasserman, of the Hobart-Curtis, Is
secretary, and the board of directors Is a
representative one. The meeting this
morning appeals particularly to women,
for It affects the home and family. A large
membership Is desired at once, so that
work can start immediately.
LEATHERMEN ON A STRIKE
All fint Tito Houses Grant
Demands.
Tbelr
As a result of a strike ordered by the
Lieatherworks Union, the factories of the
Breyman Leather Company andLawrence
& Son have- been shut down since Sat
urday night, and between 50 and CO men
have been thrown out of employment.
The demands of the union are two-fold.
One Is made by the saddle-makers and
one by the harness-makers. The harness
makers demand an advance of 50 cents
per day to head cutters and head machine
operators, and an advance on piece work
amounting to about 7 per cent. The saddle
makers demand only the advance on piece
work.
The John Clark Saddlery Company, the
John P. Sharkey Company, and P. J.
Cronln & Co. have granted their demands
in full, and signed an agreement to that
effect. The Breyman Leather Company
and Lawrence & Son have granted the
saddle-makers their demand, but refuse
to grant the harness-makers theirs in full.
A strike was therefore ordered in these
two houses. Nothing has been done since
Saturday night.
The employers are all acting independ
ently, and each professes- to have no
knowledge of what the others are doing
in the matter; while the union men are
making a combined effort to enforce their
demands. About a year ago the leather
workers ordered a strike, and the em
ployers combined against them, and the
factories were shut down for a period of
nearly two months. In the present situa
tion, however, no such trouble is antici
pated. Mr. Breyman refused to be interviewed
about the matter at all, but Mr. Lawrence
said that no extended trouble was
expected. He says that "his firm is will
ing to make concessions to the union, but
believes it Is asking too much. No ill
feeling exists in the matter, and we ex
pect a speedy adjustment."
TO MAKE BRIDGE REPAIRS
County Commissioners Will Spend
v $5000 on Approaches.
It has been decided by the Board or
County Commissioners that It Is necessary
to make extensive repairs to the east ap
proaches of the Madison and Morrison
street bridges. The estimates of the for
mer are that it will require 300,000 feet of
lumber for both approaches. Commis
sioner Mack favored letting a contract,
and Commissioner Showers expressed an
opinion that a contract Is impracticable,
as it would be difficult to prepare specifica
tions explaining Just what has to be done,
as this can only be fully ascertained after
the work has been begun, and the timbers
have been reached and thoroughly over
hauled. The timbers have been in use for
14 years, and many of them are consid
erably decayed. In view of the large
amount of car and team traffic over these
two bridges, it is deemed best to be alto
gether on the safe side. Bids for the lum
ber will be advertised for, and the repairs
will be done by day's work under the su
pervision of the foreman and the Com
missioners. The cost will be over $5000.
Sensational Developments Promised.
DENVER, April 22. The body of Albert
Gabry, member of the Colorado Legisla
ture, whose death in January last was

will hold an Inquest tomorrow. Chief of
Police Armstrong said today that he has
evidence upon which arrests will be made
as soon as the Coroner's report Is made.
Sensational developments are expected
within tho next day or two.

SPLINTER'S FATAL WOUND
Jamei Udey May Die From Blood
, Poisoning: ns Result.
James Udey will probably die from blood
poisoning, which has set In from the lodg
ing of a splinter in his thumb.' He is ly
ing very low at the Good Samaritan Hos
pital. Mr. Udey lives on a farm, near
Hurlburt, Or. He is 42 years old, and the
father of a large family.
About a week ago he ran a splinter in
his thumb, but gave the matter little at
tention, as he expected the sore to heal up
In a ihort time. His hand continued to
get worse, however, and soon the swell
ing extended Into his arm, which is now
frightfully swollen and discolored. Finally
he became alarmed about his condition,
and was brought at once to the hospital,
an ambulance being sent as far as Gresh
am to meet him.
Upon examination it was found that an
alarming case of blood poisoning had set
in. He was too weak for amputating his
arm to be considered, and all that could
be done was to lance and drain the wound
and apply anUsepUc treatment. Last
night his pulse was so weak as to be
scarcely perceptible, and little or no hope
of his recovery is entertained.
Telegrams have been sent to his family
at home, and his son, who lives at Bridal
Veil, and they will arrive on this morn

Is at the hospital now, doing all
