BUILD CITY JAIL
ON MARKET BLOCK
Council May Take Steps to
Forfeit Franchise Held by
Market Concern.
COMPANY WILL FIGHT MOVE
Terms or Franchise Violated, Coun
cilmen Say, and They Regard the
Site an Ideal One for the New
Municipal Building.
In all probability the proposed new cen
trnl police station and municipal court
will be built on the block bounded by
Second and Third and Clay and Mar
ket streets. This block is owned by the
city, but is now occupied by the People's
Market AFsoclatlnn as a public market.
Councilman Beldlng started an agtta
tlon at the meeting of the City Council
yesterday afternoon to select the market
block as the location for the new mu
nicipal building, and the plan found much
favor. Several other Councllmen agreed
with him and promised their assistance
to his plan.
Although the People's Market Associa
tion has a 25-year franchise for usf of
t lie property, it is said that the terms of
the franchise, which provide that the
block shall be used for no other purpose
than for a public market, have been vio
lated, for which the franchise may be
forfeited, city Attorney McNary is of
tills opinion and a report from the Ju
diciary committee of the Council was
mnde to this effect yesterday afternoon.
it has been the general belief that this
property could be used for no other pur
pose than a public market, but it Is said
that an investigation has been made
which has revealed the fact that the par
ties who originally donated the property
to the city for market purposes only
later made out a quit-claim deed, which
imvo the city the authority to utilize the
lilock for any purpose it saw fit.
Councilman Beldlng proposed to the
Council that the franchise of the People's
Market Association be revoked and the
block utilized as a site for the central
police station and municipal court build
ing. He thought it an Ideal location for
such a building, as it was quite central
ly situated and within a short time would
be surrounded with hard surface pave
ments. Nearness to the City Hall was
ancther argument he made in favor of
the site.
In order that there may be no doubt
as to the city's right to utilize this prop
erf as a site for the proposed municipal
building, City Attorney McNary was in
structed o make acareful lnvesttgaton
into the records and report to the Coun
cil at the next meeting, when definite
action may be taken.
Attorney Frank Motter and George W.
"Waterbury, representing the People's
Market Association, were present at the
Council meeting to offer objections against
any action being taken to rescind their
franchise, but were given no opportunity
to speak.
Mr. Motter said he would fight any at
tempt to revoke the franchise, as he
thought the city had no right to do so.
He acknowledged that the company had
been violating the terms of its franchise,
but declared the city had not kept its
word with the company.
"The company which now holds this
franchise is not the company which se
cured it." said he. "I understand that
tiie Council promised to enact certain
ordinances which would compel all ped
dlers and gardeners to patronize this as
sociation, but it failed to do so. The city
has been collecting rent on this ground
from us, knowing we were not living up
to the terms of our franchise, and 1 am
of the opinion that this franchise cannot
be revoked. We are willing to make
other arrangements with the Council and
will give them an opportunity of erecting
a building to be used as a site for a
police station and municipal courtroom
on ground which is unoccupied."
Proposals for all other property as sites
for the proposed municipal building were

WAS CLACKAMAS PIONEER
Funeral of Tobias Grider Deardorff,
Who Crossed Plains In 1850.
The funeral of Tobias Grider Dear
dorff, pioneer, who died last Monday,
was held yesterday morning from his
late home at Lents on the Mount Scott
Railway, and the interment was In
Multnomah Cemetery. Rev. E. M. Pat
terson, of Portland, conducted the ser
vlcea. There was a large attendance
both at the house and in the cem
etery, and many beautiful floral trib
utes were brought.
Mr. Deardorff was a well-known
pioneer of 1850 and an Indian War
veteran. He belonged to a distin
guished family after whom the Dear
dorff Valley, In Clackamas County,
near Mount Scott, was named. Tobias
Deardorff was born in Putnam County,
Indiana, September 10, 1829, his father
Christian Deardorff, being a pioneer
of Indiana. With his father, and his
brothers John M., David and James,
Tobias came to Oregon in 1860 and
settled In the Deardorff Valley, then a
wilderness, and here the father and
sons developed productive farms.
David Deardorff was a Methodist
minister and teacher. The others re
mained on the farm. The family be
came a force and factor in the devel
opment of the country. When the In
dian wars In Oregon broke out the
Deardorff brothers enlisted and bore a
creditable and honorable part in de
fense of the settlers against savages
in remote districts. Christian Dear
dorff, the father, died December 14,
1884, and all the brothers of the once
well-known family have now passed
away.
WILL HOLD INQUEST TODAY
Coroner Finley to Investigate the
Death of Hamilton Knott.
At 10:30 o'clock this morning. Coroner
Flnjey wilt hold an inquest over the body
of Hamilton Knott, whose death occurred
yesterday morning at bis home, 314 East
Seventh street, from a fracture of the
skull. Joseph McVittle is under arrest,
charged with manslaughter, as It is the
theory of the police that he inflicted the
wounds that caused the aged victim to
die.
Both men were employed by the Olson
Transfer Company, and the morning of
May 23, are said to have engaged in a
light, during which Knott was knocked
down by McVlttie. The latter declares,
however, that he did not inflict the
wounds that caused death, and bis story
Is borne out by William Givens, employed
In the same barn, who states that Knott
started the trouble and continued it until
McVittle slapped him. Givens declares
that Knott got up and went to work,
and that he was apparently all right, but
later developed alarming Bymptons.
Deputy District Attorney Haney filed a
manslaughter charge against McVlttie In
the Municipal Court yesterday morning.

Thinks Various Bond Issues
Voted Monday Are Illegal.
NO NOTICE OF ELECTION
Will Ask City Attorney for Opinion
on Subject All Measures Rati
fied by People Affected by
the Auditor's Omission..
That th $5,000,000 bond charter amend
ments, adopted by the electors of Port
land last Monday, are void, or that if
valid, the doubt will impair their celling'
price to such an extent as to cause the
city heavy loss, is the opinion of Mayor
Lane. He announced yesterday that he
would ask the decision qt City Attorney
McXary as to whether the measures have
become laws. Mayor Lane believes that
the Council will have to call a special
election for a second adoption of the
amendments, if the city Is to sell the
$3,000,000 bonds for a new water pipe to
Bull Run; $1,000,000 for parks and boule
vards; $450,000 for a new bridge at Madi
son street; $500,000 for public docks, and
$275,000 for fireboat and fire mains. Mr.
McXary already has said that in his
opinion the bonds would hold valid,
though the doubt would probably dimin
ish their selling price.
The flaw comes from neglect of the City
Auditor to give ten days notice by publi
cation of the Monday election. It is
the general opinion that the election of
city officers will hold valid, even if the
amendments should not. The six other
charter amendments and the three ordi
nances, which were adopted by the
voters, are in the same category as the
bond amendments. The six provide for
improvement of streets by districts; raise
the remonstrance for defeating street im
provements to four-fifths of the property
owners; regulate sale of property for de
linquent assessments ; create office of
Sergeant of Police; authorize the Council
to create a free employment bureau and
annexation of new territory to the city.
The three ordinances grant a gas fran
chise to the Economy Gas Company:
raise the retail-liquor license to $800. and
limit the number of saloons and provide
license fees for wholesale liquor dealers,
grocers and druggists.
The law requires Auditor Devlin, In
the presence of Mayor Lane, to canvass
the vote on the amendments and the
ordinances, within five days after the
election. The law says further:
Tho Mayor shall, within 30 days from the
time of such election, proclaim the adoption
of each measure or amendment, which shall
have received the affirmative majority of
the total number of votes cast thereon, and

After the proclamation by the Mayor
it will be incumbent upon the Executive
Board and the Water Board to proceed

Many Persons Regain Health and
Happiness Through the Treat
ment of Fer-Don's Med
ical Experts.
CAME FROM MISSOURI
And Finds Belief From Deafness
Through the Use of Fer
Don's Preparations.
A LIBERAL OFFER.
The first evenings of Fer-Don's stay
in East Portland, at Williams avenue
and Kuott street, proved conclusively
that he will entertain even larger au
diences than when oh Washington
street. More than 3000 people greeted
him both Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and found pleasure and rec
reation in the very excellent band con
certs, and were made to marvel by tha
unique demonstrations by which the
great Fer-Don proves the value of hia
remedies. Nothing like it has ever
before been seen In Portland, and the
deaf, the lame and the paralytic come
for miles to test for themselves the
power of this man's peculiar prepara
tions. And they come not in vain, for
the remedies which Fer-Don Js Intro
ducing, while he does not claim them
to be cure-alls, certainly do the work
for which they were intended. They
make the deaf to hear, the lame to
walk, and the sick well.
Frank Hay, who lives at Carthage,
Missouri, who Is visiting in the city,
has been restored his hearing by the
Fer-Don remedies. Deaf for 15 years
he now can hear the ticking of a
watch or a whisper.
S. B. Reddlck. 340 Knott street, deaf
for 20 years, after one application of
Fer-Don's remedy, was made to hear
a whisper.
The wonderful power of the Magic
Relief was shown in the case of F. M.
Austin, 6S1 Rodney avenue, who has for
months suffered from rheumatism in
the right arm, and lately has not been
able to use his right hand on account
of this affliction. The preparation was
applied to tile arm and hand, and al
most Instantly the pain departed and
Mr. Austin was able to use the hand '
with ease.
Without doubt the noblest work that
man can do Is to bring happiness into
the hearts of others. This is the kind
of work the great Fer-Don is seeking
to do in Portland and hlB success is
beyond question. Many persons who
nad long ago lost the hope of ever
again regaining health have been cured
of diseases pronounced by others in
curable, when treated by the scientific
methods of the Fer-Don medical ex
perts; Fer-Don nas made an extremely lib
eral offer to the people in regard to
these special treatments. He has in
structed bis physicians to make a
charge only sufficient to cover the
cost of medicines to make a complete
cure. This offer is already being taken
advantage of by many sufferers who
are being treated for cancers, tumors,
rheumatism and all chronic diseases.
As no special time has been set for the
termination of this offer whereby the
sick can be cured for the price of the
medicine Rlone, it would seem good
policy for all needing treatment to call
at the offices at 3524 Washington
street as soon as possible.
