CLUB TD SWELL THE LIST KAST SIDE rXITES TO KXCOCR AGK REGISTRATION'. Central Organization Adopts Rrw lotions and Also Takes I'p Ques tion of New Madison Bridge. That registration of every voter in Port land is the mot important matter now before the people was the consensus of opinion expressed last night at the meet ing of the United East Side Push Clubs. M. G. Griffin brought tho question up in a vigorous talk, in which he said that not many more than half of the voters had registered. At the rwent election in Scat Hi1, he said. K.tiOO votes were cast, while in Portland only 23.000 oltisens had regis tered up to the present time. He said that no effort should be spared to get the full vote registered. O. H. Hcintl and U. C. Fonea spoke along the same lines, and the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas. It is known that little more titan one-half of the. voters of Portland have registered and there Is little time yet left before, the primaries will be uqd; therefore bo It Resolved. Pv the L'ntted East Side Push Mub. that every tuh club and Improvement association be requested to call special meet ings at once And take up the question of rtKlstratlon. so tlat Portland shall make a proper show-Ins;; that the flve delesates from each affiliated club he made a special com mittee to iee that these meetings are held to the end that evor oter In the several localities is urged to get to the t'ourthouae at once and register, it belns; considered a duty every pood citlien owes not only to himself but to the city and state. W. L. Hoise, chairman of the com mittee on the proposed new Madison street bridge, submitted an opinion from City- Attorney Kavanaugh as to conditions under which this bridge can be erected. The opinion says tnat as the present location will be retained, no new legislation will be required, but that it would be well to submit pluns and specifications to the Secre tary of War and United States Kngl neers for approval before the bridge is built. Concerning construction of the bridge, tho Oity Attornev suggests an amendment to section 118 of the charter, authorizing the construction of this bridge, and following the gen eral plan adopted at the last election, except that the question be submitted by initiative petition and also by reso lution of the Council, to avoid the ef fect of a possible adverse decision, as in the case of McKenna vs. Portland. Mr. Kavanaugh sets forth the rea sons for this view and offers further vucsestlons as to the proper pro cedure. He said that in order to get the matter to a vote at the June elec tion, the petitions would have to be in by April 1. This was considered Impossible and the club concluded that It would be better to wait the decision of the Supreme Court on all the ques tions submitted and then call for a special election on the bridge and other issues at the same time. I E. Rice, of the Waverly-Richmond Club, submitted the following ques tions: Amendments to the city char ter providing for district assessments for improvement of streets; requiring 80 per cent to remonstrate out an im provement: Issuing $3,000,000 for sec ond Bull Run pipe line; placing parked streets In the hands of the Park Board; requiring all pipes and wires to be laid before streets are paved; authorizing rock crushed plant; pro viding for lighting the city municipal plant. All these propositions were placed on the table for future consideration. WOODBURN EXPECTS MANY Railroad Grants Special Rate for Horseshow and Carnival.

DUE TO DESTRUCTION OF FOR ESTS, SAYS J. P. O'BRIEN. Harrlman General Manager Calls Attention to Growing Danger In Oregon Railroading. Constant cutting of timber in the moun 'tainous districts of this state has added new dangers to railroading. J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harri man lines, believes It is largely due to the fact that the forests are being de stroyed that numerous washouts now oo 'cur frequently on the Oregon lines fol lowing a heavy downpour of rain. To this cause he attributes the serious dam age to the main line of the O. R. & N., two weeks ago when the damage to the tracks within IS hours amounted to about $60,000. This does not include the loss of traffic while the line was out of com mission. Mr. O'Brien returned yesterday from a trip over the O. R. & N. main line, where he inspected the damage wrought by the recent storm. Most of the washouts oc curred between Huron and Pendleton. "Most of our trouble In this line, I be lieve, is a result of cutting the timber in the mountains," said Mr. O'Brien. "When there was much heavy Umber in the mountains crossed by the. road we did not have these washouts, except under the most unusual conditions. Rainfall then was absorbed by the forests and held as in a vast sponge, being drained away slowly by the streams. "But now when a heavy snow fall3 and a warm wind follows, the water rushes down the hills in floods so vio lently that nothing can stop it and rail road tracks and everything else in its way are swept before it. As the hills arc denuded of their timber we find ever-Increasing flood damage that promises to grow more serious." TO RENEW RAILROAD WORK Eccles GWes Orders to Sub-Contractors on Snake River Tunnel. BAKER CITY. Or.. March 24. (Spe cial.) That tunneling on the Snake River Railroad Is to be resumed soon is the statement of David Gccles, head of the Utah Construction Company, which is doing the work. This Is one of the best bits of news that has come to the people of this city for several days, and means that several hundred men will be- employed on the work. Mr. Eccles also stated that work all along the line would be started again in a short time and would continue steadily until the road was completed. About 36. miles of grade .had been prepared and the rails laid, for about half of this distance. Some of the sub-contractors have been notified to get their horses in shape for work, as operations will be resumed as soon as weather conditions are settled on the river. GAMBLING CASE IN BAKER CITY Judge Smith Binds Over Saloon Man on $500 Bail. BAKER CITY, Or., March 24. (Spe cial.) Tom Baldwin, proprietor of the Idle Hour saloon, was arrested today on the charge of gambling. He was ar raigned before Judge Smith in the Cir cuit Court, waived preliminary examina tion and was bound over in the sum of J500. It has been common talk on the streets here that gambling was being carried on in defiance of the laws, but this Is the first arrest to be made. Lumber Outlook Bright. ASTORIA.' Or., March 24. Special.) X. Mufley. of Seattle, president of the Old Oregon Lumber Company, which operates a number of mills' on the Coast, including one at Warrenton, -was in As toria last evening and says he is fairly well satisfied with the outlook for the lumber business. He believes that all the labor and financial troubles will be amicably settled, and before the coming Summer is ended the lumber industry will be on a firmer basis than it was a year ago. . Astoria Arranges for Costly Float. ASTORIA. Or.. March 24. (Special.) The promotion committee of the Chamber of Commerce at a special meeting held this afternoon decided to appropriate $600 to cover the cost of constructing an Astoria float for the parade at the Rose Festival to be held in June.

One Anarchist's Name on Registration Books Jomlah L. Drinker First to Admit Allesrlanee to "Reds" In Going on Record at Clerk's Office. Kew York. William K. Vanderbllt. Jr.. on Monday pleaded not auilty to speeding his automobile and was held in $100 ball. . JOSIAH L DRINKER registered at the County Clerk's ' office yesterday as an Anarchist. This ih the first in stance of the kind on record. He filled out the registration card himself and swore that the statements he had made were true. It is probable that his name will be taken from the books. Drinker says he was born in Michigan. Drinker is a collector and resides at 827 Williams avenue, in precinct 82. He is 41 years old and has -been in Oregon two years. When he registered for the city election last April he refused to state his party affiliations. When he approached Deputy County Clerk MuessdorfTer yesterday with his registration card, classing him as an Anarchist, Drinker said: "That's about what I am. I guess I'll have to hold a convention of my own, for I can't vote at the primaries, but I can vote at the June election all right." Total - registrations will go over the 24.000 mark today, as they stood at about 23.900 last night. During the day about 400 voters registered, this being a slight falling off from the aay -previous. Among the voters who have registered is Captain N. B. Ingalls, formerly su perintendent of the Marquam building. He made the statement to one of the deputy clerks that this year would be the first time he had voted in 30 years. All naturalized American citizens wish ing to register must take with them their naturalization papers. The deputy clerks are compelled to send many away because they fail to bring their papers. Less than two weeks remain in which voters may register. County Clerk Fields sent out 356 no tices of appointment to new judges and clerks yesterday. These will take the places of .those who have failed to ac cept the appointments made by the County Court. DIVIDED SENTIMENT SHOWN South Portland Residents Discuss Proposed Packing Plant. South Portland residents met last night at Obrist Hall, 1105 First street, and discussed the proposed establishment by Schwarzschild & Sulzberger of a pack ing plant in that locality. Both sides of the question were presented, but no defi nite action taken. Dr. W. I. Cottell, Councilman from that district, presented his views ort the measure now before the Council and said he desired to get the opinion of property-owners on the subject. He said the franchise as recommended by the committee on health and police would let down the bars to the establishment of slaughtering-houses within the city limits .and that while the S. & S. peo ple said they would erect a modern plant involving the expenditure of $1,500,000. they appeared to be unwilling to sign a bond covering their proposal. Dr. Cottell intimated that the refusal of the packers to sign such an agree ment convinced him that the real inten tion might be to re-establish the Zim merman plant, or at least give Mr. Zim merman an opportunity to dispose.. of his property. He was informed, he said. that Mr. Zimmerman had made a trip East to arrange with the S. & S. peo ple to enter into an arrangement with him whereby there was to be a division of the profits of the proposed plant, Mr. Zimmerman to receive 75 per cent and the S. & S. firm to receive 25 per cent. Ho spoke of South Portland as an ideal residence district and said its improve- , ment and its best interests were the in ducements that caused him to become a member of the Council. Other speakers were .A. R. Stringer. W. S. Maher. C. E. Obrist, J. Marguiis, James P. Moffett. J. Kirklcy, A. T. Smith, E. A. Sessions and T. H. McKay. The following resolution was voted on and failed of passage on a tie vote: "Resolved. That Dr. Cottell, Council man of the Fifth ward, be requested to work for the establishment of the S. & S. packing plant under proper restric tions of the Council. Government Inspection."
