ROCK TO PAVE
East
Side Property-Owners
Angry at Council.
MILES OF PAVING DELAYED
Multnomah Addition, Sell wood, Kcn
llworth and Other Suburbs Can
Get No Crushed Hock Street
Improvement Done.
The crushed-rock question will not sleep.
Miles of streets on the East Side are wait
ing for paving material, which cannot
now be had. In Multnomah Addition
alone eight miles of paved streets are
wanted, but are held up for want of pav
ing material. More tiian a year ago it
waa decided to cover all unimproved
streets In this addition with crushed rock,
but not a foot has yet been paved under
that movement. The property-owners
were ready to spend more than $100,(XK)
for improved streets but cannot go
ahead because contractors say they can
not get crushed rock, and the properly
owners do not want ordinary gravel.
In Sellwood the property-owners are
agitating for the paving of all streets
either with crushed rock or gravel. In
Kenllworth a movement has been started
to Improve and pave all the streets, but
the property-owners are hesitating about
taking action owing to the, experience of
other localities In their effort to get pav
ing material.
These conditions were set forth by Dr.
I,. M. Davis recently at the meet
ing of the United East Side Push Clubs,
when he pointed out that nearly all street
work is held up on the East Side for
want of crushed rock. Ho strongly cen
sured the Mty Council for not taking ef
fective measures to provide paving ma
terial and to rgqiilre thel'lty Engineer to
expedite plans and estimates for street
work. Dr. Davis pointed out that be
tween eight and ten miles of streets In
Multnomah Addition are held up. Some
of these streets have been graded out
but there is no crushed rock with which
to pave them.
J. H. Nolta. of Piedmont, who has been
speaking for municipal ownership of rock
crushers enough to supply material for
more than 18 months, says he has nearly
lost heart In the agitation because of the
little encouragement received from the
Council. He doubts whether relief can he
expected-from the Council, although he
wants the question of municipal owner
ship of rock crushers put up squarely be
fore that body. Mr. Nolta has been in
consultation with Mayor Lane on this
question, and also with the County Court
In regard to getting crushed rock from
the Kelly Butta Quarry by rail. The
Mayor told Mr. Nolta that he favored the
city's owning several portable crushers.
Mr. Nolta especially favors taking rock
from the bottom of the Willamette River
and crushing it. This proposition is con
sidered a good one If the rock can be ob
tained in sufficient quantities at reas
sonable expense.
The proposition to get in crushed rock
from Kelly Butte by rail is being dis
cussed. This would necessitate laying a
mile and a quarter of track to connect
with the Mount Scott branch of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Company,
the spur either to be built by the railway
company or by the city and county
jointly. However, Mayor Lane is not In
favor of the material obtained from Kelly
Butte, which he thinks not hard enough,
although the Government test of the ma
terial gives It a high grade for road
building. The general committee from
the civil clubs on the East Side bas been
given instructions to press the import
ance of the situation on the Council with
a view to getting some definite action.
Americanize Philippine Church.
MANILA, Dec 17. The first Provincial
Council of the Catholic Church in the
history of the Philippines is now in ses
sion in this city. The bishops and clergy
are considering matters important to the
church of which the most Important event
in the placing of the church upon
American basis throughout.
The Spanish and other- clergy conform,
it Is understood, with this action, which
la the result of direct instructions given
by Pope Plus X to his delegate here.
A magnificent torchlight procession of
35.000 men. women and children took place
in honor of the event, which is considered
a complete victory for the American
bishops, who control church. affairs here.
The opposition to the measure has come
principally from foreign priests in outly
ing districts.

Swans Swoop Down on
Japanese Farmer
Strange Fight Between Oriental and
Flocks of Big Birds That Are Finally
Put to Flight.
TV JAPANESE farmer, one of the many
r who have leased much land around
Russellville, on the Base Line road, .had a
most thrilling adventure with a flock or
white swans last week. He was out
plowing In his field, so E. N. Emery says,
when suddenly several hundred swans
made their appearance. At first he paid
no attention, but they soon began circling
close down on him. Then they made a
sudden sweep and nearly knocked him
down.
The swans renewed their attack on the
Japanese with more vigor than ever. They
dashed at him and struck him in passing
from all- directions. He sought to drive
them off by swingink his hat, but this
bad no effect. He theh ran to the nearest
fence, followed by part of the flock, and,
seizing a rail, defended himself, but still

ALBANY, Or.. Dec. 16. (Special.) The debating team which will represent the Albany High School In the coming
series of debates for the high school championship of the state Is composed entirely of girls. It is understood to be
the only team in the league which does not have at least one boy member.
This forms a singular coincidence in the fact that the team of the Salem High School against which It is pitted la
the preliminary debate. Is composed entirely of boys. This preliminary debate will be held In this city next Friday even
ing. Salem taking the afTIrmatlva of the question, "Resolved, That the Appropriation, of the Last Legislature for the Uni
versity of Oregon should become a law."
The three girls were chosen on the Albany team In a try-out In which four girls and four boys participated. Miss
Lucille Hart is leader and Misses Melissa Martin and Ina Dow assistants. All three of the debaters are members of the
senior class of the High School and are prominent, popular students. All have 4een leaders In the literary work of the
school and Miss row and Miss Martin were members of last year's debating team. Mies Martin Is also a leading player on
the girl's basketball team of the High School.
the swans attacked -him until he had
knocked down several.
The horse, which the Japanese had left
hitched to the plow, was also attacked
by more than a score of the angry birds.
The animal did the best he could to de
fend himself with his heels and teeth,
while his owner was wielding his rail at
his assailants. Suddenly the whole flock
by an Impulse took flight, leaving the
Japanese master of the battlefield.
"It was the most remarkable and com
ical fight I ever witnessed." remarked
Mr. Emery. "The Japanese certainly had
his hands full. Part of the time he waa
half covered by the swans. He fought
with the same determination that his
comrades fought the Russians. The
ground around where the fight took place
was strewn with feathers.
