EAST SIXTH FILL
PROPOSED ' TO SVBSTITtJTE
GRAND AVENUE AVORK.
ills Heady ' to Compromise With
Inman-Poulseu Company, Which
Has Been; Fighting Assessment.
A. N. 'Wills, president of the Council,
yesterday announced his intention to pro
pose action to rescind the East Sixth
Mreet till across the gulch between Eaat
Sheridan and Division streets, and in Its
stoad. he said, tlio lnman-Poulsen Lum
ber Company will put in a fill on Grand
avenue at the corporation's expense.
Jjiwyer George S. Shepherd, for the
mill tlrm. said that he is willing to agree
to this compromise. On this line the
Viattle will be fought out in the Council,
perhaps at the meeting to bo held tomor
row afternoon, but more probably it will
be taken up at the session two weeks
hence.
A tiill was in progress across the gulch
cm East Sixth street, and many people
had gone to considerable. expense to
have cement sidewalk and other im
proements made, in front of their prop
erty, when the lnman-Poulsen Company
served notice that it would not pay its
share of the assessment, which amount
ed to S5.0O0; that it would first suffer the
confiscation of the property, the property
not being worth the sum required, ac
cording to the declarations of the firm's
officials.
A storm of protest was the result of
the announcement of the mill company's
"tticlals. and Councllmen Rushlight and
Kellaher took up a fight for" the resi
dents of the district, to force the com
pany to pay its share of the cost for
the improvement. Mr. Shepherd, how
ever, maintained that the property would
be confiscated should the Council force
the completion of the fill. This led the
officials of the contracting firm, the Pa
cific Bridge & Building Company, to an
nounce at a recent meeting that they
would not complete the work under the
conditions, as they could not afford to
take chances on collecting from the mill
firm.
"1 feel that there is no use to try to
make the mill company pay that assess
ment," said Mr. Wills yesterday after
noon, "and it is absolute confiscation of
the property. We are therefore certain
to have a lawsuit on our hands if we
persist, and, inasmuch as the firm is
willing to fill Grand. avenue at its own
expense, if we rescind the East Sixth
street contract, I am going ' to propose
that we do this."
It Is expected there will be a big fight
over the matter when it comes before
the Council.

"These trusts and monopolies, like the car of juggernaut, crush
every obstacle that stands in their way. They endeavor not al
ways, it is alleged, without success to corrupt our National and
State legislatures and municipal councils. They are so intolerant
of honest rivalry as to use unlawful "means in driving from the
market all competing industries. The supreme law of the land
should be vindicated and enforced and ample protection should be
afforded to legitimate competing corporations as well as to the la
boring classes against unscrupulous monopolies."

the biggest trust in the world the Beef Trust; but because. he is doing it
the people of Portland are eating the cheapest meat and the best meat of
any city in the United States. Look upon it as a public duty to patron
ize Smith and pass up the Beef Trust markets that are thrown out like
traps to catch you. In every 'other city the cheapest cut of meat is 10c
per pound. Smith sells his cheapest cuts from 3c to 5c. -In other cities
tancy cuts run up as high as 40c per pound. Smith sells his best meats
from 10c to 12 c. See that you come to the right entrance, 22 Alder
