fftKtfscfee he laid before the Council and
jtvc sewo intimation of the scope of the
tcnJ-ot
Wlint the Company Proposes.
Summed up in a few words, the com
jmay proposes to make the first real at
torn ever made on' the Pacific Coast to
utilise " a largo scale the refuse from
the Min'rolik which, on Puget Sound and
la mt other Western lumber centers, is
burned hi huge 4ab pllos, or in refuse
kwrsKTR -ictd near the mills, and in
u4 araNtMl Portland largel.v used for fill
ing ta low ground, or dumped into the
rWwphy. to be carried away by the Sum
mer floods.
In ikii- city, to a greater extent, prob
M. tlmn in other Pacific Coast lumber
centers, mill stab:- are sold for fuel, and
this cradiMill)' Increasing use for the re
lor nuttcrta! has during the past five
your given the looal mills an advantage
wer their competitors elsewhere, but this
h- JrtlH limited and cannot be ex
p"ted to Increase in the same ratio as
the lumbar output. On Paget Sound,
0s Harbor and In California attempts
Wtee neon made to distill the refuse for
the purpose of manufacturing tar, pitch,
urpertn and valuable by-products, but
fo far without pronounced success.
The Banlleld-Veysey Fuel Company's
wheme Is to utilize evers scrap of the
"msde from the mills within a eonslder

states, which are now used for firewood,

of lumber and give the mills in

Plnnt to Burn Kcfusc.
A brtenj rtatud by Mr. Bnnflnld. his
motpany proposes. If Its franchise Is
granted, to erect a large central station
w river-front property which has aireadj
heen purchased, at a cost of J50.WO, and

A Hke system of pipes, conduits, ca-

Ntt hough the Banfleld-Vej'se.v Compans
tmh se ready to announce the cost of
the proposed plant, it Is probable that it
wouht involve an ultimate expenditure of
not ranch less than $600,000: a large frac
kn of ouch a sum. Mr. Banficld stated
y"tcrdas would be expended during the
ratttg Summer in case the franchise is
granted. It being desired to lay as much

river will be served with steam heat from
the plant bofore December 1. in that
event, and extensions made as rapidly
possible jnto districts further removed
fom the business center, where the first
work would naturallj be done..
Sure of Vltitnate Success,.
."There is no doubt as to the ultimate
fiecss or our plans, once we are granted
our franchise,- said Mr. Banfield. "al
ihough we do not expect to make a cent
r profit for at least five sears. The bus
new; must be built up gradually and for
ears to come we shall be working for
he future In the Greater Portland that
is to be The phslcnl obstacles, however,
Wl' easily be overcome.
i have obtained figures proving that

ing successfully .distributed at a distance
i miny oinf-'ooi uiucks i rum xnc central
I plan This indicates that we would be
I able to beat private residences on Port
land Heights in course of time.
lTcatlnf: Problem Big One.
"The beating problem is one the'most
li'Mcult with which the owner of busi
ness prop-rt. the apartment-house
builder and the owners of private resl
nces close in have to contend with.
"onl Is i-carco and high, and the cost of
hauling makes even sla'bwood an cxpen
've fuel. And owing to the absence of
alleys, the handling of fuel of anj "kind
after ita delivers- is attended with con
siderable cost and trouble besides -causing
unsightly litter on the streets and
sidewalks.' ,
'Portland Is .behind the times in this
matter, but there are other and far more
important considerations. The reduction
In insurance rates that would . incvitablj
follow the, installation of s. central heat
ing plant is a matter that the business
community should carefulls consider.
""It starve to reason that if heat could
be furnished from a central station more
cheaply than It could be produced on the
premises, everj down-town business build
ing, hotel and apartment-house would dis
pense with its private heating plant, with
Its attendant danger from fire, and that
the Insurance companies could then be
compollftj to make rate reductions. f
"But even more important are the ad
vantages the installation "of a plant such
as we have under consideration would
give the mlllmer. of Portland. The lum
bermen oi this cits, who have more than
510,000.000 invested, are vitally interested
in ans project which will enable them to
dispose of their refuse at a profit, and
their needs should be considered bs the
cits'. Portland is now the largest lumber
shipping port on the Coast, and in the
mills in and about the city about 300 men
are emploj'ed. In the logging camps an
equal number are at work, besides tug
boat crews and "river men. making prac
tically G000 laborers directh Interested In
the industry.
"The mills pas' In taxes each s'car near
ly J1.20i).O0&, yet. as everj' lumberman
knows, lhe are compelled to furnish
their own fire and police protection, be
sides building and repairing mans" of the
streets .they use. LaM j'ear these mills
cut 55C.627.000 feet of lumber, and the
waste Incident to this enormous produc
tion, if all of it could have been disposed
of for fuel, would have added a profit, of
SO cents on each thousand feet of lumber
cut.
CsIiik JJcfus'e for Fuel.
"For several years our compans has
been buIng much of this refuse and sell
ing it for fuel. Last year we paid Che
mills $123,000 for slabwood. At the present
time we-iirc pas'lng them $12,000 a month'
for the limited amount we can handle,
and have built up a -business of which the
local paj-rolI last S'car reached $120,003.
"It is ms honest belief that the mones
we have paid the mills for slabwood dur
ing the past few s'cars has been a large
factor in enabling them to compote with
the big plants on Puget Sound and under
bid them on numerous large orders, there
by bringing Portland Into the front rank
us a lumber shipper.
Ten Thousand Cords 3Ionthl.v.
"1 have made a careful estimate, and
can state that 10,000 cords of mill wood
arc now used each month In Portland, but
the output of the mills Is Increasing so
rapldlj that the refuse Is constantls" ac
cumulating, and that which cannot be
used for tilling in the ground about the
mills is now Ising below high-water mark,
whoro it will be washed away and lost nt
the next flood.
"Were our proposed plant In operation,
we could bring all this refuse to It in
scows and convert every ounce of It into
heat or power and utilize It as indicated
bs our franchise application. This would
save the cits n large part of the $1500 a
day that is now being paid to the Stand
ard OH Company bs Portland for fuel oil.
"In view of these facts, and the fact
that we hac evers dollar wc possess in
vested here. I maintain that ms' attitude
before the Council was justified, and that.
In justice to the business communltj. we
should be treated with a little more con
sideration than strangers coming in hero
to invest. If we were not alreads heavy
investors we would not object to putting
up ans bond within reason, but as It Is
we think our good faith is sufficient's"
shown. We are not onls willing, but ex
ceedlngls anxious, to commence work on
our ss'tem and rush it to completion at
the earliest possible moment."
"What the Franchise Provides.
The franchise of the BanfloVJ-Veyses"

of this notorious "gang," so far as
making the arrests and haling thcvof
fendcrs before the court is concerned,
and Judge Cameron and Deputy Cits
Attorney Fltzgqrald backed up Mur
phs's actions Jn the hearing of the
cases and. imposing the penalties.
Lower Albina residents have for
years been terrorized by this "gang"
of youthful hoodlums, whoso depreda

for pcdcstralns to make the leasr pro

within .himself to break up the
"sewer gang-." He tried to reason with
the members of the organization, warning-
them that he would invoke the law
If they persisted In their outrages. His
counsel seemed of no avail, and out

brought about the downfall of the

Yesterday morning 13 members of the

pleaded guilts to charges of disorderly
conduct, others to assault and battery,
while stlfl others denied their guilt.
Young Wo, a Chinese laundrs'man, was
one 6f the "gang's'" victims. He was
pelted with snowballs, hard as stones, as
ho went to a bakery for bread, and. upon
his return was knocked down and bru

Russell street, was another man singled
out. He resisted the efforts of members
of the hoodlum band to put snow down
his neck and he was promptly felled to
the ground and beaten by some of the

Just been released from the insane asylum

that he did not strike any of the assail

NOW TALK OF ANNEXATION
MOXTAVILTjA. AND MOUNT TA
BOR WILIi ACT.
Petition to Be Sent to Portland City
Council to Submit Propo
sition to Vote.
A combination has been entered into at
Mount Tabor andi Montavilla by which a
.concerted movement has been started for
annexation to Portland, and a petition
has already been circulated in the joint
territory to bring about annexation under
sections 14 and 15 of the Portland charter.
These sections provide that wjjen a pe
tition containing the names of IS per cent
of the qunlltled voters qf the territors
to be annexed is submitted the Council
mas bs a two-thirds vote pass a resolu
tion providing for the submission of the
question to the voters in the territors and
the cits. Therefore, if the Council acts
favorabls on this petlton the question of
annexation will come before the voters In
June, of both Portland and the territors
to be taken In.
The territors Includes that portion of
school district No. 5 which was left out
at the last election and all of Montavilla.
school district. With what was annexed
at the last election the new territors, it
taken in, would add between SOOO and 10.0CO
to Portland's population.
This combination does not mean that
those who have been working for the In
corporation of Montavilla wIH abandon
their efforts, but thes will simply suspend
operations until the question of . annexa
tion is settled one was or the other. If
the Council will give the people a chance
to vote on annexation at the June elec
tion the would-be incorporators will cease
their work for Incorporation and Join the
annexation movement, and all will pull
together to carry the question at the June
election. If the Council refuses to pro
vide a vote, or if annexation falls at the
polls, then all In Montavilla will work
for incorporation. This programme was
indorsed at the last meeting of the Mon
tavilla Jmprovement league.
Many have favored Incorporation be
cause they had no hopes of annexation to
Portland. Charles HHe. B. J. Evans and
others have the annexation project in
hand. The people of Montavilla are willing-
to do most ans'thlng that bring Bull
