12 THE MOKSD'li OKEliOAlAS. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1907. 31 PLANT HOSES IN THE PARK BLOCKS City Board Probably Will Fol low Suggestion Made by The Oregonian. DONATIONS TO BE ASKED Newspaper Will Give 500 Shrubs and Conduct Campaign to Se cure More Plan to Aid the Rose Festival.' A long step toward the general improve ment of Portland- parks will be taken this Fall if1 the Park Board adopts a plan now under consideration, to plant hundreds of rose bushes In the park blocks this Fall. At its meeting: yesterday this scheme to beautify the city was sug gested to the Board and was favorably received. Definite action will be taken at a special meeting to be held within a few days, when a representative of Olmstead Bros., the Boston landscape gardeners, is expected, to be present. The suggestion that the park blocks be adorned with hundreds of rose bushes, all of the Caroline Testout variety, was made to the Board in a letter addressed to Mayor Lane by the managing editor of The Oregonian. The Oregonian itself of fered to donate 500 of the Caroline Testout plants, and also to undertake to secure other contributions. As a result, it is expected that the park blocks, which at present receive little attention, will be made most attractive. The suggestion to plant roses in the park blocks originated with B. W. Rowe. ex-presirient of the Rose Festival Associ ation. The fine display of roses, he believes,- would be an attractive feature of the festival next June. The Caroline Tes tout has been adopted as the official rose of Portland, and has the great advantage of being a hardy variety. "If the Park Board approves of this plan. The Oregonian will contribute 500 plants and will endeavor to secure contri- buttons of as many more as may be necessary," said K. B. Piper, managing editor of The Oregonian, in his letter. "It will be necessary to decide soon or the plan will have to be abandoned for this year." Mnyor Approves Plan. Mayor Lane expressed his approval of the suggestion, as did the other members of the Board. I. Lang believed that It might be better to have" more than one variety of soses. but the general opinion was that there should be no intermingling of varieties. Dr. Wilson suggested that one variety might be planted In each blocK. The letter addressed to Mayor Lane by The Oregonian, suggesting the plan, is as follows: It ha been suggested to The Oregonian hy K. W. Rowe. of the RoBe Festival As sociation, that it would be highly appro priate In view of the approaching Rose Feotlval. In June. lfos. to have the city de vote the park blocks, in part at least, to the cultivation of roses. To that end. Mr. Rowe has solicited the co-operation of The Oregonian. and has suggested that we ask ' the Park Board and yourself as Mayor, to sanction some such plan as the following: The Oregonian will endeavor to procure donations of a large number of rose bushes, sll of the Caroline Testout variety. The Caroline Testout, as you know, Is the official Portland rose. These bushes should be planted for early cultivation in the park blocks so that they may be In full bloom by next June. It seems to me that they should be located, if practicable, as nearly as pos sible along the outer boundaries of the blocks. They would not Interfere then with the children's playgrounds. Newspapr r Will Assist. The Orea-onlan will undertake, as I have aid, to secure donations of these bushes nd will itself contribute, say. about BOO. The Park Board could then plant them, or t least they should be planted under the direction of the board. The scheme, of course, is not yet fully matured and what I have written here is only a suggestion for the consideration of yourself and the Park Board. If the board will at an early time discuss the matter with Mr. Rowe and myself, we should be glad to appear before them. It is my desire that you call the attention of the Park Board to this matter and request its early consideration. If It is to be done at all. there must be no delay.

BL0CH WINS PRIZE ICast Side Woman's Slogan Adopted by Boosting Club. Mrs. D. Bloch, who lives at 19:4 Grand avenue, wins the $50 prize offered by the East Side Business Men's Club for the design and slogan submitted by her in the contest that has been conducted by tha club for the past two months. Her design and slogan was adopted last night. In all 250 answers were received, and the total number of slogans was nearly 1000, many of the envelopes con taining in some instances as high as 20 sligans. Mrs. Bloch's slogan la a com bination. As finally accepted by the committee it reads. "Thrive, Trade, Try the East Side; 'Rah for the East Side." The design Is a circle embracing three "'T'a" drawn In heavy lines, underneath which are the words "The East Side." Under the circle Is the slogan. "'Rah for the East Side." Mrs. Bloch had her de sign drawn out on a card, and it struck the fancy of the committee at once as a unique piece! of work and that It would lend Itself to an effective advertisement either in the newspapers or on cards. Borne slight modifications were made in the original wording, but the idea of Mrs. Bloch was accepted as a whole and she will be paid the $50 prise. It was & difficult Job to make a selec tion out of the mass of offers submitted. H. A. Calef. A. H. Wlllets. D. Kellaher, George Dilworth, D. H. Strowbrldge, B. A. Bellamy. T. L. Adams. O. a Fulton and C. A. Biglow were the special com mittee from the club to make the selec tion. The club got its money's worth out of the scheme, as answers were re ceived from all over the Northwest. Some of the slogans were excellent, but not adapted for the purpose of the club Some were amusing. Following are a few: "Hello, dollar! where are you go ing? To the East Side to double up!" "The East Sldo pluck is the rich man's luck"; "Watch the East Side Spread"; "East Side No knockers, all workers": "Plant a dollar and you gather hundreds P. D. Q"; "East Side homes, health, business, wealth; that's all"; "Light dawns on the East Bide"; "The East Side tells its own story"; "Open your eyes on the East Side"; "East Side, the side; hear us crow"; "East Side best side"; "East Side best side; satisfied"; "East Side best side; fall back West 8ide"; "East Side best side; ain't it"; "An East Sider had a dollar, and he blowed it good and plenty, and when that dollar busted it busted Into twenty. That's the East Side lyck"; "Another had a dollar in vested 1 on a time, and when he sought his money, it had dwindled to a dime. He did not invest it on the East Side." Some of the slogans were in rhyme. T BLAMES PARENTS JUDGE FRAZER THREATENS A GANG OP rOCXO HOODLUMS. Will Send Bad Boys to the Reform School Unless They Desist From Keeping Up Nightly Pranks. "The neighborhood gangs of boys. big and little, that congregate about the street corners at night are one of the nuisances of the city. Worse than this, they are schools of crime. Nearly all the criminals sentenced by our courts have come from such hood lum gangs. The parents who allow the boys to be out In one of these gangs at night are not proper par ents, and ought not to have any boys. "About a year ago a cbuple of boy burglars were before the Juvenile Court and received sentence. They were making stealing a regular busi ness, having broken into four stores and a blacksmith shop. They had committed more crimes than many of the men sentenced to the peniten tiary. The mothers told the Juvenile Court their boys were good except that they went to the theaters once or twice a week. Those thieves started Just by running with a gang, like that which has been hanging out at Fourth and Montgomery streets. "Boys have no business on the street after it begins to get dusk. They don't do much but tell vile stories and curse and swear, and to get into mischief. It is too dark to play good games. Unless the parents take this matter into their own hands the Ju venile Court will have to send the leaders of nocturnal gangs to tho Re form School. The fathers and mothers are to blame for the actions of their children. Most boys who get out from under parental control do ' so at the age of three or four years." In these words . Judge Frazer yes terday told the parents of 12 boys who had been brought Into the Juvenile Court after being arrested ly Officer Murphy, their duties. Some of the boys are members of a gans which has been holding nightly larks In front of the grocery store at Fourth and Montgomery streets and In the neighborhood. The disturbances Anally grew to such an extent that the neighbors complained about the boys, and the officers made an endeavor to locate the gang, but according to the story of the boys and of their parents did not succeed in getting the right boys except in three or four Instances. A number of the boys brought in yes terday belong to the gang which holds out at Eleventh and Montgomery streets, and some of them belong to no gang at all. It seems that Officer Murphy stood on the street corner the night after the complaint, and took the name of every boy who passed that way, taking the entire lot into court, ' The charges against the boys were that they had broken the glass in St. Mary's Academy windows, that they broke the glass in St. Mary's Church last Sunday, that they delighted in ly ing on the grass near the academy and watching the girls at night, and that they made themselves a general nuisance. "DR. DOOLEY'S" DEMISE "The King Is Dead, Long Live the King," With Gentry Bros.' Shows. When the Associated Press dis patches recently carried the sad news that "Dr. Dooley" was no more, few of the' laity had full appreciation of the tragedy involved in "Dr. Dooley's" demise, for "D"r. Dooley" was one of the most famous simian comedians the public, has ever known. And simian comedians are born, not made. For nearly 10 years "Dr. Dooley," whose name in private life was Wal ter, In honor of his namesake, Walter Gentry, of the Gentry Brothers' Fa mous Shows, United, which are to ex hibit here October 9, 10 and 11, made thousands laugh who had never laughed before, and he has undoubtedly gone to his great reward with a rec ord of giving enjoyment to more of the younger generation of his Darwinian descendants than any- other baboon who ever lived. And now comes "Gen. Lawton," the "Dr. Dooley II." a smaller baboon than his predecessor In the role, but. In the opinion of animal men. mjich the clev erer. And it is on record in the animal tent with the Gentry Shows that when "Dr. Dooley" "left the show" he ex tended the right hand of fellowship to his professional colleague and. so far as mere humans can determine, said In simian language: "Good luck, old man. Take it up where I leave off." New Portland-Pendleton Train. The new local train service of the O. R & X. between Portland and Pendleton goes Into effecttomorrow, Sunday, Octo ber 6.

IKE i SELECTION Council Committee Is at Sea Over Crematory Site. . STILL FAVOR EAST SIDE .Members ot Body Doubt That Suit able Location Can Be Found West of River AH Have Some Drawbacks. That the controversy over the loca tion of the proposed garbage crema tory is about as far from settlement as it was six- months ago was shown yesterday, when the first meeting was held by the special Council committee, composed of Rushlight, Cottel and Wallace. Although the committee has suggested several possible sites it has found nothing that It is ready to rec ommend, and considerable time may pass before a choice Is made. The committee is agreed that the site should be central and the selec tion Is limited by tlie Instruction from the Council that the incinerator must be built somewhere on the West Side. A trip of inspection will be made some day next week by the committee, in company with Superintendent Dag gett, and it Is possible that a recom mendation will follow this investiga tion. -The block between Taylor, Salmon and Front streets and the river Is the only one that has yet been offered to the committee. The owners ask $200, 000 for this property, and as the com mittee considers this price excessive, the site has been eliminated from con sideration. Marquam Gulch, in South Portland, was another location sug gested yesterday, but this was like wise abandoned, as it would necessi tate a long up-hill haul of garbage. "I am certain the Council did wrong when it refused to accept the Health Board's recommendation of the Sulli van's Gulch site on the East Side," said Wallace, who has taken an active part in the crematory discussion ever since it first came up. "I doubt if any feasible West Side location can be found that will be central. Sullivan's Gulch is perfectly adapted to the re quirements of a crematory, and the protests of East Side residents were against their own interests and the interests of the city at large." The method of collecting garbage is another knotty problem that the com mittee faces. There is a general sen timent .in favor of the city buying teams and wagons and superintending the service. It is recognized that this would ultimately effect a saving and the only objection is the heavy Imme diate expense. The money would hava to be appropriated out of the general fund, as the Council has no authority to levy a special tax for this purpose. This would be a considerable drain on the general fund next year, and would necessitate curtailing expenses in other lines at a time when the de mand for appropriations on every hand is increasing. It was suggested by Wallace yester day that the city be districted and the collection privileges sold to the high est bidders. The charges for collection would be fixed by the city, but he be lieved that they might be made lower than at present, and that even then they would return a good profit to the scavengers. Everyone would be com pelled by ordinance to have garbage collected. "At present, there Is absolutely no system in the collection of garbage," said Wallace. "People hire scaven gers when they can get them, but InUc.J?f, th0 garbage is not collected. addition to this, under the present methods, a number of scavengers go over the same streets." OPEX STREETS OX HILLSIDE Owners of Property Ask for Per- mission to Replat. Plans for the utilization of the steep slopes of Portland Heights for residence purposes -were outlined before the street committee of the Council yesterday, when ,'. a Kea6e5r applied for the vacation of all tha streets in an area of about 12 blocks. As the property is practically useless in its present condition, the Coun cil will probably allow the petition and give opportunity for the improvement of the land In explaining his project Mr. Keasey as serted that he was not asking for the va cation of any property for whlcn He would not return full value to the city. The district will be laid out with new thor oughfares conforming to the requirements of the locality, and these will be dedi cated to the public. In this way a large residence district will be thrown open and sightly drives provided along the hillside. The district to be improved lies south west of Portland Academy. Streets con forming to the plat of that part of the city were dedicated many years ago, but because of their inaccessibility not a foot of them has ever been Improved, and out side of the city map there is nothing to show that the streets are there. At pres ent there Is only one dwelling In the en tire tract. Mr. Keasey explained that he had em ployed engineers to make a complete sur vey, and rllsplayed blue prints giving the outline OS his scheme. Instead of being laid out In straight lines, they are made to conform to the contour of tha hill sides. This will give attractive thorough fares with easy gradients. D. E. Keasey & Co. own practically all of the land, which will be sold as residence lots. City Engineer Taylor Inspected the dis trict yesterday and recommended that the vacation be allowed on condition that a good approach be left o Pennoyer Park. This Mr. Keasey agreed to do. saying he would conform to any plan for a street to the park which Mr. Taylor might desig nate. The matter will be ttrken up at the Council meeting next Wednesday and the vacations will probably be allowed. - Many property-owners along East Ninth street appeared before the committee to protest against the quality of the gravel Improvement recently completed there by Giebisch & Joplin. They said that the quality of rock Is not good, and that the street has from two to three Inches of mud on it In rainy weather. The matter was referred to Mr. Taylor, who said that the city had already accepted the street and he was satisfied that the contractors had complied with the specifications, "The trouble Is that property-owners expect to pay for a gravel improvetrirnt and get a hard-surface pavement," de clared Mr. Taylor. "The first year a gravel street Is never first-class. If a hard street is wanted the only way to get it is to lay a regular pavement." SUBMITS XEW FRAXCHISE United Railways Company Offers a Revised Application for Grant. In accordance with an understanding reached with the Council several weeks ago when Its franchise was recommended for repeal, the United Railways Company submitted a revised franchise ordinance to the street committee yesterday after noon. In order to give the company time to study the terms of the grant, no action was taken yesterday and the measure was laid over to a special meeting to be held next Tuesday morning at 10 j o clock. The new franchise is a 25-year grant differing little from the present franchise of that company. Under tue grant the company agrees to construct seven miles of Its line outside the city by July 1. 1608. and to complete its road as far as Hillsboro within three years. The cost of the portion of the system to be con structed within the city Is estimated at M25.000. The amount to be paid the city in con sideration of the grant is left blank. This will be determined by the Executive Board and the payments will be Increased each five years according to the form of the ordinance submitted. The amount of the bond to be given by tha company is also to be determined later. Herman Wittenberg, a director of the company, was present and asked that the ordinance be either passed on immediate ly or that consideration of it be postponed for several weeks. 'Mr. Wittenberg will leave for New York next Wednesday, to be away about 20 days. If an agreement is not reached by the committee next Tuesday, the ordinace will probably go over until Mr. Wittenberg returns. To Take Up Market Block Franchise Discussion of the proposed substitute franchise for the People's Market Asso ciation will be taken up by the special committee of the Council at a meeting one week from next Monday. A recommend ation to revoke the present franchise was made some time ago and an applica tion for a new grant has been made un der which the Association agrees to pay $200 a month Instead of $100 as at present. There is also a resolution from Vaughn, embodying a plan to erect an assembly hall on the market block. All of these questions will be considered by the com mittee. ' New Roof for Building. The Park Board yesterday decided to ask the Council for an appropriation of $3,000 to shingle the Forestry building. It was first thought that shakes could be used on the roof, but Commissioner Lewis reported that he had not been able to secure an estimate on the cost with tnis material. The building is covered with shakes at present. Crossing Gates for East Eleventh. An ordinance providing for gates at the Southern Pacific crossings of Grand ave nue and East Eleventh street was rec ommended for passage by the Council street committee yesterday. The gates will be similar to those now in use at the East Morrison-street crossing, and will be operated between the hours of 5 A. M. and 1 A. M. Drlscoll was the only one opposing the measure.

The vessel was detained to await developments of the man's case, and private advices from shipping- brokers to members of the fraternity in this city say without doubt the man is af fected with the terrible Oriental dis ease, which United States health au thorities have certified now exists in San Francisco. Dr. J. H.
