"Wintbb Trip to Mount Hood. After
spending two nights and a day at Cloud
Cap Inn, J. Wesley Ladd and party of
friends returned to Portland yesterday
morning. The party -which made the trip
from Hood River to Cloud Cap Ir.n, on
Mount Hood, Included "Walter Honeyraan,
B. C Ball. John K. Kollock, Dr. Herbert
S. Nichols, Harry I Corbett and Rodney
Jj. Glisan. The journey was made with
out mishap. Twenty miles of the trip
was made by -stage and sleighs, but the
last ten miles was made on snowshocs.
They report that considerable snow had
fallen, but on account of the warm
weather most of it had melted. In spite
of this, however, there was plenty of the
"beautiful," and the Journey, while hard,
was thoroughly enjoyed. Once at the inn.
a big fire was made and a splendid meal
was served. A part of the return trip
was made on skis.
Building Two Sawmills. Robert
Johnsrud and J. H. "Wewer are putting
up two sawmills within about a mile of
Sandy. Machinery for these mills has
arrived, and both will soon be ready to
commence sawing out lumber. Several
other sawmills, which have been turning
out railway ties, have closed down. The
mills of Donahue & Co. and Proctor &
Beers are still cutting ties In the vicinity
of Sandy and sending them to Troutdale.
Beside lowering the price per tie from
30 to 25 cents, the railway company in
creased the size of the ties one inch,
which makes a marked difference be
tween the former price and size. Mill
owners say they cannot cut ties and
make a profit under these terms.
Rumors of Mount Hood Road. The
town of Sandy is now and then encour
aged with rumors of a railway to Mount
Hood through that place, and just now
Is again stirred by a report that the line
Is to be built. A. Melnig, of Sandy, said
yesterday that the people in that section
bplleve the report. "There was a line
surveyed through Sandy several years
ago," said Mr. Melnig, "and a good grade
was obtained. I am sure that It would
pay well. There is a very rich country,
full of resources and timber, that would
support such a line, besides it would pass
through a most beautiful section. All the
tourists who come to Portland would
want to take In the trip by electric rail
way to Mount Hood."
To Ed rA n lis ii Farmers' Telephone
Line. A farmers telephone line is to be
established out of Sandy In a short time.
A. Melnig. of that place, was In yesterday
finding out about telephones and material.
He says that about 15 farmers had signi
fied their Intentions of joining in. A joint
stock company will be organized at once,
and the wire strung as soon as possible.
It will connect with a central office at
Sandy, where there is a wire to Portland.
This will place the farmers In touch with
the outside world. It is expected that
similar lines will also be built out of
Sandy, thus connecting all the surround
ing country.
Bad Pl,ioht of Old Man. J. C. Baker,
an old man, who was picked up several
days ago by Mounted Patrolman Crox

him unconscious. He sent him to the sta
tion, where he was kept until yesterday

STILL CROSS ON BTJKNSIDE.
Heavy Teaming Has Not Yet Gone
Back to Morrison-Street Bridge.
The general traffic on Burnside-street
bridge. Including teams, since the open
ing of the new Morrison-street bridge, has
been reduced very little. Nearly all the
larger vehicles still 'cross on Burnside In
preference to Morrison. Some of the driv
ers say that they prefer" Burnside to Mor.
rlson. as the street-car tracks on the lat
ter are fenced off and leave narrow spaces
on the sides for the teams. However, It
will take more than a few days for travel
to adjust Itself to where it was before the
new Morrison-street bridge was built.
In the matter of street-car traffic a rec
ord for one hour was kept yesterday with
the following result: On the Burnside
street bridge a count of $0 cars was made
In one hour, making an average of 10SO in
18 hours, which at three cents a car would
amount to 5972 a month. On the Morrison-
street bridge 40 cars per hour wero count
ed? which, at three cents a car would net
5540 a month.

LEAGUE IS SCORED
South Portland Taxpayers Dis
cuss Bridge Leyy.
BELIEVE CITY -SHOULD PAY
Taxpayer' League Gets Reproof for
Stand Against House Bill 130,
Providing General City Tu
Levy for Marquam Bridges,
A mass meeting was held last ntebt in
Terwilliger's Hall. First and Sheridan,
under the auspices of the South Portland
bridge committee. The object of the
meeting was to protest against assessing
South Portland property-owners for the
construction of the Marquam Gulch
nndges. Judge John F. Caples filled the
chair.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
which stated that the Marquam Gulch
bridges were unusual improvements, and
of such a nature that special benefits
would not accrue to any particular per
son or section of the city: that to provido
tneee improvements tne city had assessed
a certain J5ectloncontalnlng 7500 lota at
517 a lot, when as. a matter of fact some
of the lots were not worth more than 530:
that, aside from being an Impracticable
method of equalizing public utility, the as
sessment district Is limited to a small
portion of the city in which the taxpay
ers havo already been assessed 530,000 for
fills and an equal amount for street Im
provements within the past year, exclu
sive of the annual 4-mlll tax. Concluding,
tne resolutions are as follows:
Resolution Is Passed.
Be It resolved. That , the citizens residing
within the proposed xessment district of South
Portland en masse assembled, do hereby earn
estlr and conscientiously nppoie tad denounce
said special district assessment as inaugurated
by the City of Portland, under Its charter:
that said proposed district assessment la un
just. Inequitable and perfidious In the extreme.
and against the spirit and principle of muni
cipal government. Its -enforcement will be vir
tually a confiscation of one-third of the real
property belonging- to the laboring class with
in the proposed assessment district. Be It
further
Resolved. That tre unanimously- favor the
passage of House Bill JCo. 130, Introduced by
Representative Colwell. and now before the
Oregon lieglslature. &sd we ardently appeal to
the Multnomah delegation, urging their support
In our behalf.
Sarcasm for Taxpayers' League.
Judge Caples made a stirring ad
dress and frequently referred to the
Taxpayers League with admirable
sarcasm.
"Who is this Taxpayers' League?"
said Judge Caples. "A self-constituted
body, gentlemen, elected by themselves
because no one else elected them. And
gentlemen, there is something modest
about this Taxpayers League. Pos
sibly you have not noticed It.
"When the city proposes these un
usual improvements the Taxpayers'
League says: 'Let the people of South
Portland be assessed for them.' 'And
here is where the modesty comes in.
When they desire something costing
not 5130,000, but 5370,300, not bridges
to facilitate traffic, not a public com"
modlty, but something to omamnt
their section of the city, they say; "Let
the city float a bond issue. I tell you
gentlemen, wo must contrive to go be
fore the Legislature with something
that wil equalize the arguments,
against us."
"Mr. FHedner Is here, gentlemen."
said Thomas Guincan. "and we would
like to hear from him."
William FHedner took the floor and
spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen. I feel as you do that the
tax Is high and unjust and I have
spoken before the Executive Board, of
which body I have the honor to be a
member of what I believe to be the
most Just and most feasible plan to
regulate these assessments. Suppose
now that -we draw- an Imaginary line
at Washington street or at Morrison
street, and as the City of Portland la
cut in two by the Willamette River,
that imaginary line would divide the
city Into four equal parts. I say when
these unusual Improvements are made
let each section pay its own assess
ments. That would be -a Just plan and
the assessment per lot would not be
very much,
"A sort of general tax?" questioned
Mr. Guinean.
"Yes, that Is -what It Is, a general
tax."
The meeting adjourned at 9 o'clock.
CANADIANS TO TTRT.P OREGON

ize Live Society In Portland.
Ninety-four people signed the roll as
charter members of the Canadian Society
of Portland, formed last night In the
small hall at the Young Men's Christian

that an overflow meeting could have been
held with profit. The committee on or
ganization would have secured a larger
hall had the advance reports as to at
tendance so warranted. John A. Martin,
of 215 North Twenty-fourth street, was
appointed temporary chairman, and Mac
donald Potts, temporary secretary. Dis
cussion too,k place as to whether the new
society be organized on a permanent basis,
or only continue during the existence of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, but this
was left an open question. The general
opinion seemed' to favor permanent or
ganization, and it was suggested that
Canadian day at the Exposition be Do
minion day. July 1.
This committee was appointed to report
on constitution and by-laws, and to sug
gest those who should be the officers of
the society, consisting of a president, vice
president, second vice-president, secretary
and treasurer: John T. Wilson. William
Foley, Miller Murdoch. W. R. Mackenzie.

A cry against the partitions on the

the central portion for the exclusive
use of street-cars is what hascauseJ
the unfavorable comment.
When the bridge was first opened

sented resolutions condemning the par'
titions, saying they are "a menace to
the public" for. In case of fire tnere
would be delay in transferring the en
gines from one side of the river to the
itikr: that, since the city spent $400.-
000 on the bridge, "not for the street

the partititns should not remain. The
resolution is as follows:
That It Is the sense ef this meeting of prop
erty-owners that the authorities should at once
remove all obstructions placed In the center of
this costly structure and that the entire bridge
be thrown open to the use of the general pub
lic, and that the street-cars be given no more
