Favor Purchasing Water Plaint.
TYhlle the Montavilla Improvement
League passed resolutions opposing the
purchase of the Mount Tabor water
plant, the Montavilla Board of Trade has
taken the opposite view of the question,
and favors the purchase of the plant
at a "reasonable rate." A petition has
been circulated and signed by about ISO
property owners, asking that tho Water
Committee purchase the plant if an
agreement can be reached as to price.
It is the Judgment of sonio of the mem
bers of the Montavilla Board of Trade
that unless the city secures this plant
before Summer and connects with at
least an S-inch main the distribution
tystem there will involve a great short
age and much hardship. "If we wait
till the city lays a big main," said Dr.,
Deveny, "and then puts in a distribution
system we will not get any more water
for three years than we now, have.
Eighteen thousand dollars has been ap
propriated to lay a main to Montavilla
but that is all. If the city will connect
with an 8-inch main to the present dis
tribution system then we will have water
for domestic purposes, but not for fire
purposes. That will come later."
Reception fob Tacomans. Washington
business men enroute to California on an
excursion conducted under the auspices
of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce
and the Board of Trade, will be enter

Portland dredge, which is undergoing re
pairs and being changed to an oil burner,
will complete the tills between Kast
Washington and East Morrison and be
tween Kast Morrison and Belmont
streets. The dredge was pulled off this
work last Summer to do channel work
and has not yet been able to return to
this work. Of course at present with the
high water, the dredge cannot be operated
at all. There Is some talk of organizing
the property owners north of Kast Wash
ington street and getting that district
filled up to the street, the same as will
be done south of Belmont street. The
property owners In that territory can
get the same terms as were secured
south of Belmont street.

iNo coal available in town at any

No prospoct of obtaining any for
weeks to come.
Fir wood $7 a cord, delivery prom
ised ten days after order ta placed.
Slabwood, seasoned, but water
soaked, $3 a load, delivered some
time.
It is a difficult matter to burn wet
wood in a furnace Intended for coal,
but as no more coal is to be had in
Portland, householders who did not
lay in a supply of the black combus
tible early In the season will be com
pelled to burn wood or go cold. Asked
when coal could be expected, a repre
sentative of the Independent Coal &
Ice Company said:
"We may have coal In the city with
in two weeks, but it is not a certainty,
as- the railroads will promise us
nothing in the way of shipments.
When it does come it will probably be
only a few cars from Carbonado. We
sold the last lot for 110.50 a ton. I Jo
not know that this lot will be sold any
higher.
"We expect a cargo of coal from
Japan about February 15, but cannot
depend upon it," said a representative
of the Pacific Coast Company yester
day. "We are not accepting any
orders at all for coal at our up-town
office. The very small amount of coal
we are getting is gong out as fast as
it is coming in."
Slabwood Is selling for $3 a load, the
companies having upwards of 1)0
orders ahead. There are some parts of
the city to which the dealers will not
agree to haul, as the roads are in such
bad condition that the teams have dif
ficulty getting through. It is not un
common on East Ankeny street, where
the roads are comparatively good, for a
loaded wood wagon to be helped up the
small hill by the streetcars. In South
Portland, west of Kelly street, the resi
dents find it almost impossible to get
the dealers to make deliveries.

Contractors Youngerdorf & Son, accord

force of men and are pushing work on
the St. Johns City Hall. The indications
now are that they will complete their
contract on the building and leave it in
readiness for the inside finishing, which
will be done under separate contract.
There Is much feeling among the citizens
of St. Johns over the delay in finishing
the building. They are inclined to allow
the contractors to go ahead, but will
tolerate no more delays.
