H. WITTENBERG'S CHALLENGE.
H. "Wittenberg has Issued a challenge
to "Whitney L. Bolee and Thomas His
lop to call a taxpayers' meetlne o
Eaat Sloe cltliens to determine whether
or not they are fetHed with the t.lto
lor the East Sid Hlph School. He
declares that the vote would be four
to one acalnst the Bite. Mr. "Witten
berg eays that any reliable pliyelclan
will say It Is not . conducive, to Rood
health, public morals and public safety
to placo 2000 children in ao small an
area as is contained In the proposed
elte.
PORTLAND. July 10. (To the Edi
tor.) Will you permit mc, through
the columns of your paper, to correct
a Btatement that seems to have gone
out In reference to the location of the
High School on the Ea-jt Side. State
ments have apeared in the 'different
newspapers of our city in large head
lines that "Wittenberg has been de
feated in his attempt to change the
location of the East Side High School,
tc"
I desire to state that "Wittenberg
has not been defeated," but that the
children, the parents, and the tax
payers of the City of 'Portland arc I'so
ones who have been defeated; and it is
a great misfortune that such is the
case.
I do not believe that the taxpayers.
fathers and mothers of this citv real
ire what a serious mistake will 1
made if the High School is located
alongside of the grammar school on the
East Side. They will not, m my opin
Jen, realize it until it is too late to
make the change. When the building
?as been completed and the little nar
row 60-foot street between the two
places will be the only air pacc In
which children will be permitted to
spend their recesses or time before
school, they will reallss what a small
space of ground has been left for
their comfort. In my opinion, the rea
son that young men, or boys, become
dissatisfied with their school days is
because they have not got some of
the conveniences and games of amuse
ment and athletics that are found in
many of our private schools. The old
saying Is that "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy." This applies
to boys and girls in their school work
as well as in any other vocation.
If the people of Portland will buy a
block of land on which to place the
High School and a block of land to be
used as a campus for games and sport
lng grounds for the children they will
be doing more in the way of improving
the condition of the young men and
women of this city than they can in any
other way. And as before stated, when
too late they will find it out. In the
interest of health and the welfare of
the children, I ask that these two
schools be not put together. I ask that
the taxpayers and parents study quick
ly the situation; for, remember, that
you are placing over $100,000, and pos
sibly $150,030, in. a location that is not
fit for the purpose, and once placed
there it will be there for generations
to come, and will stand as a monument
of mistaken judgment to those who
permitted it to go there.
Why should a few individuals on
the East Side be able to control the
location of this building? The Haw
thorne estate, of which Whitnej L.
Boise Is agent, seems to have the pull
if you please, to control the location of
this building. Another party, Thomas
Hislop, if you please, :s another party
to this blunder that is being perpe
trated on the citizens of Portland.
What interest have they in the loca
tlon? None whatever, except to sell
and possibly. In their opinion, to en
hance a few town lots which they pos
sess. Should that be taken as a means?
of making this location? I say, by all
means no. Whitney Boise's children
will never, in my opinion, attend the
schools in this city; at least, he has
none attending our schools at this
time. I hereby challenge Messrs,
Boise and Hislop to call a taxpayers'
meeting of the East Side and find out
whether they are in favor of the lo
cation or not. I am positive that the
vote against them will be four to one.
A few misguided mossbacKs may
bide with them. I ask that the people
of Portland 'ask any reliable physician
of this city if it is conducive to good
health, public morals, and public safe
ty to place 2000 children in a small
area as is now being figured upon in
the location of this building? You
will find that 99 out of every 100 phy
siclans will tell you that it is not the
proper thing to do. Possibly Dr. Jo
sephl will be of the same opinion as
Mr. Boise, but even he, I believe, is in
favor of more air space and more play
grounds. They tell you that there I
a 60-foot street. This wo will concede.
between the two buildings, but on th
other side there is only a 30-foot space,
I believe, lying along the entire front.
Is it not possible in the Interest of
the good people of this city, in the in
terest of the children of the future,
who must accept the conditions and
attend these schools, that we should
enter Into a careful study of this sub
ject before It Is too late? It is not
personal matter with me. I am not
looking for Wittenberg's interest or
his glory. I am endeavoring with all
my Ptrenjrth and knowledge to pro
tect in every possible way the interests
of the children of this city.
Mrs. L. W. Sltton. chairman of the
board, favors a different location, and
she will tell you so. L N. Fleishner, the
newly-elected School Director, will tell
you that a mistake is being made: that
the school ought not to go there, but he
came out In a card Just previous to his
election and made a statement that "he
was in favor of the building going where
the taxpayers wanted It and he does not
see his way clear to vote different to
what he -stated in that card." Mr. Beach
will tell you that "it is not the proper
place for that school but he believes that
the taxpayers want it there as expressed
in their recent meeting and he hates, to
cause any rumpus." As to Mr. Williams
-views. I have not heard him make
pamnL. execs t that "he school dls
trlct owns the block and he believes it
should be utilized for that purpose."
I am strongly In favor of locating this
school on Twelfth and Davis streets, on
the Buckroan tract and secure for it
plenty of air space for all time to come
and where it will be an ornament to the
city and more useful to the children of
the district for generations to come.
Another point that Mr. Beech makes is
that "we have not the money to buy the
roporty; that if we had the money he
would be willing to do it."
Now. fellow-citizens, let us see how
much money it will take? Supposing that
wo had to spend $25,000 for the two
blocks of land, how much of a tax would
that mean on $125,000,000 worth of prop
erty? One-fifth of 1 mill, or 20 cents to
anybody paying taxes on $1000. Are there
any fathers or mothers in the City of
Portland who would not be willing to pay
0 cents on $1000 to insure to their chil
dren and the- children of the future a
proper place for a schoolhouse, insuring
them health, comfort, strength and in
telligence, making all of them better men
and women?
Is it possible that my plea for the chil
dren of this city will not be heard? Is It
possible that a Httlo personal prejudice.
little. If you please of ponurlousnoss.
and error In judgment shall be the rea
son of making this great mistake in the
school annals of this community? This
Is the last opportunity that I have, or
shall make in this matter? I feel that I
have done everything that Is possible to
prevent this blunder being made. I feel
that the responsibility of this mistake
must be placed where it belongs upon
my colleagues of the board, upon the
paronts and taxpayers of Portland who
should be interested In preventing this
mistake from being made. And If this
statement of facts shall prove of suffi
cient interest to the taxpayers of Port
land, especially of the East Side, to war
rant them In calling a meeting of the
citizens to discuss the matter (as should
be done), I assure you that I will be more
than ropaid for every effort that I have
made in endeavoring to prevent the mis
placing of the High School of the East
Side.
Where are the people who some time
ago were maKing a crusaae apunsi
having schools in this city without play
grounds? Where are the people who
were fighting for the sanitary conditions
for the children in our schoolhouses?
Why is It that they hang back when here
we are brought face to face with a propo
sition that is more serious than anything
that they have brought to the public
notice in any report they have made?
Where are the people who represent our
nubile parks, asking for more air space
and more room for our people, and now
permit this outrage to bo perpetrated
upon the City of Portland? Won't they
please come to the front and help me
to fight this all-important matter to
a common-sense issue? Not a newspaper
in this city has shown sufficient interest
In the matter to present it to the public.
except one who has beon willing to throw
cold water on every effort that has been
made by the writer in bettering the con
dition of the school children of this city.
Therefore, permit me to say that it is not
Wittenberg that Is being defeated, out
the parents, the taxpayers, nnu more
than all ahe school children of the present
and future of the City of Portland.

Jones Wants to Come to Court.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. July 10. Spe
cial.) Pitcher Oscar Jones is tired of
working for a tall-end organization, and
he has asked Ned Hanlon to dispose of
him to the Los Angeles Club. Jim Mor-
ley received a wire from Hanlon stating
that he could buy Jones for a certain
figure, and it Is very likely that he would
have been called, but for the addition of
"Wright and Tozer. .
Morley has six pitchers now, and if ho
bought Jones he would have seven. Brook
lyn is a weak club, and yet he has won
over half of his games. Jones made his
reputation pitching for Los Angeles.
BURNS GOES TO 3IEET KELLY
"Will Have His Second Battle in Los
Angeles This Time.
Tommy Burns, the local boxer, left last
night for Los Angeles, where he goes to
meet Hugo Kelly, July 25. Burns has
been doing his preliminary training in
the city, and when he boarded the train
last night he said that he felt In condi
tion to enter the ring right then. He will
fight Kelly 20 rounds, and as soon as the
mill is over he will return to Portland,
Test up a few days and then start train
ing for his battle with Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, which takes place at Tacoma
In August.
This will make tho second time that
Burns and Kelly have exchanged wallops,
They fought a ten-round draw at Detroit
recently, and according to the press ac
counts of the battle Burns would have
won, had he not entered the ring in
greatly weakened condition. Burns went
into training for the fight here, and had
reached the point where he was ready
to take the train, when he was notified
that the fight was off. When the tele
gram came he let up in his work, and
several days after ho had let up he re
ceived a message to como on at once. He
reached Detroit only a few days before
the fight, and 'was forced to reduce almost
ten pounds before he could make weight.
One poached egg and some beef tea was
all that he ate for two days, but in spite
of this, he came near putting Kelly out.
This time when ho meets Kelly he will
be In the pink of condition. It is to get
used to the California climate that he is
going to the scene of the battle so early.
