BUILD ON EAST SIDE Prominent Taxpayers Talk on High School Location, BOND ISSUE IS ALSO FAVORED Substantial Building )s Desired, but Objection Is Raised to Defray ing the Cost by a Special Levy. Public opinion, following closely upon the report for the fiscal year of the Board of School Directors, seems to be rapidly crystalizlngr in favor of the erection of a . new high school -brick building- on the East Side, the cost of which, it is argued, should spread oyer a number of years, the money to be raised by the issuing of bonds. These interviews were secured yesterday: William M. Ladd I believe that the taxpay ers should meet pquarely and generously the demands occasioned by the increase of our school population. In my opinion, the time has come for a high school on the Bast Bide of the river. It should be built of brick, and carefully planned. In the light of the best experience of Eastern cities. Inasmuch as there are many room3 to be built thla year to meet the increased numbers in the grammar .grades, the expense of -which will probably be met, as usual, by taxation. I think it would be wise to provide the funds for the new high school by the issuance of bonds. The amend ment of our present school law, the cost of the building, the length of time of the bond, and the redemption of same can readily be left to the good Judgment of the directors 0f our echool district. J. N. Teal I have given as careful a etudy to the necessity for the building of a high school on the East Side oe I could since the matter was first taken up, ; and have come to the conclusion that a high school on tho East Bide of the river Is a necessity. The present High School has a registered attendance of 1005, and arrangements are now being made to take care of the overflow in other build ings. With the Increased school population on the Other side of the river, it la but Just that they should be properly accommodated near their homes. Second. I believe the building should be of brick, and so much completed this year as will be necessary to take care of the attendance, and that the building should in Itself be of euch a character and style as to be educational to. its tondencles. Third, I believe bonds should be Issued by ihe district to pay for this character of. a building. I do not think It right to Impose -upon the taxpayers of the present all of the burden of providing buildings to educate the children for the next half-century. I believe year by year the taxpayers should bear their ebare of the burdens of the maintenance of government, but cannot see the Justice and wisdom of a course that would impose the building of permanent structures upon the taxpayers of today. In other words, I believe that all expenses of conducting the schools cf maintenance, of additions to bulldinge, or buildings not of a permanent character, should be paid for by a direct tax. But I believe bonds should be Issued -for permanent build ings and structures of a like character, pay ing off a fixed percentage each year, so as to distribute the burden equitably over a series of years, tp the end that all those who receive ' the benefits should bear their due proportion of the burden. Rufus Mallory 1 do not believe in. "high schools, so, consequently, iio not wish to see a new high school building erected on thi East Side. Why? Because I object to sad dle taxpayers with the expense of providing children of a echool age with higher educa tion, when students by their own efforts can get this higher education. Therefore. I do rot think a high school is a public advantage. If the money were asked for school of lower grades, then, I should not hesitate. I believe in schools up to, but not including high echools. A. L. MIIJs Educate children so that we can have educated men arid women. Better have education in early life than call in the Sheriff or policemen afterwani. I think we should have a new high school! building on the East Side, to be built of brick, and of a kind that will last quite a number of years, the cost to be about 5100.000 or $100,000. It is too much to ask the present taxpayers to pay for this building. The cost ought to be met by the issuing of bonds to be spread over a num ber of years, -so that our posterity being ben eficiaries with ourselves should bear a pro portion, of the expense. Louis J. Goldsmith We ought to have a new blgh school building erected somewhere in this city, but I cannot favor the East Side or West Side, .until it is established beyond all question "the locality from which the over flow of high school pupils comes. If they belong to the East Side, have the new high school building, of brick, built there, by all means. The cost should be met by the Issu ance of bonds. W. D. Fenton I think that the new high school building should be built on the Eat Side, and that it should be substantially built, of brick. The location? A suitable location would be the vacant block bounded by East Alder, Twelfth, Stark and Thirteenth streets, next to the present Central School. 1 under stand, however, that eome people desire that the lot I have mentioned should be used as a playground. The cost of the building, should be provided for by the Issuance of bonds, so that the payments could be spread oyer a rumber of years. , ' 2IDS FOR GOVERNMENT COAL Engineering Department Has Pro posals From Local and Other Firms. Six proposals were received by the I nlted States engineering department for the furnishing and delivering of coal for use in connection with the works of river and harbor Improvement and defenses at the mouth of the Columbia Klver during the year 1905. The advertisement for bids provfded for deliveries approximately as follows: Eight thousand tons on board United States craft at Astoria, Or. Five hundred tons bn board United States craft at Kalama, Wash. Fifteen hundreds tons on board cars at Fort Stevens, Or., the coal to be deliv ered as required during the year. Those tendering bids were George W. Sanborn, Astoria, two; the Pacific Coast Company. Seattle; W. A. Storey, Port land; Holmes Coal & Ice Company, Port land, and Samuel Elmore & Company, Astoria. The prices ranged from $5.05 to $7.o0. each bidder offering the product of a different mine. In determining the award, the quality of the coal, as proved by tests, will be taken Into consideration along with the price. Regarding Bad Banks. PORTLAND, Dec. 22. (To the Editor.) The article on savings-bank legislation in your paper on Saturday, by R. Koerner, of Oregon City, is well worth the attention and consid eration of our coming Legislature. This Is one or the many proposed laws that should net be overlooked. Serious attention chnnM be given to the same. This city and state had Its share of distress caused by savings oanK raiiures in 1602, which, in all probability could have been avoided, or, at least,' mlti rated had there hwn rlli-fvt itnta Biiruuinn Newcomers to our state are increasing dally jn numbers, and In connection with the Lewis and Clark Exposition, speculators, investors ana visitors will come In great numbers, and, not knowing which is a reliable institution, will most likely tin order to secure irhnt mti tfcry have), deposit their hard-earned, savings In any institution that has the appearance of a bank. Thereby may they place their little fortunes In Jeopardy. We find, during last year, that quite a few so-called private banks and savings banks have failed In Oregon and Washington alone, and bow many -widows .and orphans have lost all they bad, and probably have been driven to desperation by such con ditions of things, are only possible while there are nolaws, either National or Kate, to pro tect depositors and prevent some smooth schem ers, without any visible means, passing as pro moters and ensnaring some one. With a few hundred dollars, sufficient to pay one month's rent, buy a few fixtures and a brass sign, they are ready to do business; to receive the peo ple's money, with which to speculate. I know of one so-called bank whose rules provide that no mailer what happens with the business, the expenses and salaries of the officials are o be paid first out of the bank's funds. You will find the expenses and salaried exceed the cash on hand. Tours truly, PHILIP STEIN. KEEP THE ALIENS TOGETHER. Objection Made to .Practice of Selling Theater Tickets Promiscuously. PORTLAND. Dec. 22. (To the EditorJ-Can the general theater-going public induce the managers of the playhouses to set apart a cer tain section of the balcony for colored people and objectionable Japs and Chinese? While I do not wish to argue about the "equality of the races," it does not seem in order to allow the best seats In the theater to be sold to offensive people, who thus infringe upon the rights and privileges of those who, perchance, must sit next to or near them. (My enjoyment of one of the excellent plays given last week by Florence Roberto was spoiled by the close proximity of two untidy looking colored men, whose offensive odor, combined with a "whisky breath," rendered the situation almost unendurable. I was not the only member of the audience who was un comfortable; but what right had we to com plain, when these men had paid for their seats and were thus granted the right of occupancy? The fault was, not theirs, but that of the ticket-seller, who had readily sold them the seats, without regard to the sentiment and comfort of those who were so unfortunate as to buy seats near them. We see it In all our playhouses uncouth, evil-smelling "darkies," Japs and .Chinese, sitting shoulder to shoulder with white citi zens, who, as more desirable patrons of the theater, should be given the preference over such objectionable inferiors. We Northerners are too generous with the "aliens," who do not always appreciate the hospitality and equal privileges shown them. We do not need to bar them entirely from places of amusement, but to refuse to allow them to occupy seats on the lower Bonr of ihe house. Surely, the managers should adopt this plan, if only in Justice to a few of their more sensitive ' pa trons, though I feel that my statements will be Indorsed by the majority. Hoping that the publication of this protest will bring about good results in the near future, I remain, most sincerely yours, F. R. WILSON. LOST MONEY AND DIAMONDS. Woman Makes Costly Visit to Pat terson's Saloon. Mrs. Marie Palm was robbed of 560 In gold coin and diamonds and jewelry val ued at ISOO. while asleep In the "Favor ite" dive, Wednesday night. She awoke at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and dis covered her loss, and immediately re ported the theft to Chief of Police Hunt, relating all the circumstances, and as a result of his orders one "Babe" Mansfield and Lucy LaFaivre were arrested. "Bob" Patterson and J. B. Moore are the proprietors of the dive, and each has been In continual trouble in Portland for the past two years. Mrs. Palm charted to Chief,1 Hunt that Patterson was at the bottom 6f the robbery, but neither he nor Moore were arrested. Mrs. Palm reached Portland Wednesday morning, from Spokane. 'She had her Jewelry in a safety deposit vault in the Chamber of Commerce, she states, and got It out late that night preparatory to returning to Spokane. She owed J. B. Moore a bill of ?20. which she went to the dive to pay. Patterson, she says, invited her to remain there over night, and she slept with the La Falvre woman. She was to get up early and take the morn ing train for Spokand. but did not awaken until 10 o'clock, and discovered the loss of all of her jewelry, consisting o'f dia mond rings. Sergeant Slover was assigned to brine- in the women from the dive. Moore grew enraged and vowed he would get a shot gun and kill any policeman who attempt ed to take a woman from his place, but changed his mind when the officer ap- STATEMENTS CORRECTED. PORTLAND. Dee. tTr. vah-i read wlth-great interest your editorial In The ouoiwy uregonian. entitled. "Of Names In Oregon." I desire tO Call Vnllr nttnntlnn to one error. Captain Gray discovered the t-uiuuioia .uivex Slay 12, 1792. May 7, 1792, after having 'met Vanemi-ir ! r.iicj ,1. discover the Columbia River. Captain Gray t-rva wnai IB now knpwn as Gray's Har bor, and with becoming modesty called it Bulflnch's Harbor. Bulflnch nm .v.. owners of the Columbia. Captain Grays ves. May ii, me log of the Columbia says: "The entrance of Bulflnch's Harbor bpre north distance four miles." May 2L this log speaks of the position of the Columbia, from which "the entrance of Bulflnch's HaVbor bore south east by east, half east distant five leagues." Vancouver sailed from Nootka Sound with his three vessels on the lSthj of October, and on the 18th he was opposite Bulflnch's Har bor, to examine which he detached Lieutenant "Whldbey (the "e" is in the name), in the Daedalus, while Vancouver proceeded with the other two vessels to the -mouth of the Columbia River. In the original edition of "Vancouver's Voy. aRes." he speaks of this harbor as "Gray's Harbour." Vancouver did not name it. 'but he recognized It as Gray's Harbor. In the folio volume of maps and plates of this original edi tion this harbor la placed and is named "Gray'8 Harbour." Whldbey made art examination and survey of this harbor, the consequence of which ap pears on some of the old English and even on American maps as "Whldbey's Harbor." The name of Grays Harbor comes apparent ly from no particular naming, but by universal consensus of opinion from the fact that Cap tain Gray discovered It. This account of these matters I have taken from Grcenhow's "His tory of Oregon and California," and from "Vancouver's Voyages." I desire also to call your attention to a statement in The Sunday Orogonlan of the 18th that the gener&l circular concerning the Oregon Territory by Hall J. Kelley. published In 1831. if. not the "first publication which calls attention to Oregoit Torrltory as a desir able country," In 1S30, Hall J. Kelley pub lished a pamphlet or book called a "Geograph leal Sketch of That Part of North America Called Oregon." In the preface of this latter publication, Kelley says: "This sketch has been prepared, for the benefit-of the friends to Ihe Oregon .Colonization Society, as well as of those of mankind In general." He further says: "And having experienced, during many years of anxiety and labour upon the Oregon colonization subject, much contumely from the ignorant, and from the sordid misanthrope; and suffered loss of a lortune fully adequate for the comfortable support of his family, a loss consequent of a devotedness, ardently In tense; be is excited to greater diligence, and to a zeal In some measure proportionate to the magnitude of the project." In this pamphlet, or book, several pages are devoted to seven different reasohs as to the "advantages of set tling the Oregon Country." X have original -editions of said circular pub lished in The Orrgonlan, and of the geograph ical sketch by Kelley. I have called attention to these matters mere ly because at this time great Interest Is being taken In the early history of Oregon and Wash lngton, and it is desirable that the information on this subject be as accurate and complete tus possible. The map which accompanies the circular Is a map printed from the same plate from which the maps In the geographical sketch were printed. FREDERICK V. HOLM AX. Rod and Gun Club to Meet.
