Oreoox Pears in Omaha. Charles W.

leaving for Puget Sound yesterday. Mr.

a vacation, which embraced the lnter
mountain country and the Coast. Speak
ing of Omaha as a market for Oregon
products. Mr. . Shrader says the Oregon
Bartlett pear, side by side with the Cali
foria pear, sells at the ratio of eight to
one right along, the former being solid
all through, while the other has a mushy
Interior, which people have not been slow
to learn. Oregon prunes are In demand

fruit that is the glory of the Beaver state.

Wants Mock's Farm a Park. At the
meeting of the University Park Board of
Trade Monday night, held In the office
of S. G. Sibray & Co., the park question
was discussed. T.. A. Ketchum called at
tention to the Mock farm, which Is Just
south of Columbia Park and contains
about SO fine acres. He said that the city
ought to own this farm and add it to the
30 acres now comprising Columbia rarii
making- one park of over 100 acres. Mr,
Ketchum spoke with emphasis on .the
park question, declaring that within ten
years there wil! be over 100.000 people on
the Peninsula alone. He pointed out that
the establishment of the Swift plant will
bring thousands, and that many kindred
Industries will contribute their part. Oth
ers spoke favoring making an effort to
have the city secure the MOCK tract, ino
matter was referred to the park commit
tee. The need of fire protection also was
considered. It was declared that there
was absolutely no protection at Univer
sity Park and Portsmouth. The secretary
was Instructed to address a communica
tion to the chief of the flre, department
and Mayor Lane calling attention to the
defenseless condition of all property and
asking for protection of some sort. W.
C. Peddicord presided.

SAYS SALES ARE REGULAR
AVEIiLS-FARGO DEXIES CHARGE
OF PAGE & SON.
Express Company Declares It Dis
poses of Perishable Goods Only
When Forced to Do So.
Charged with Irregularities In dis
posing of shipments of perishabl
goods when refused by consignees, th
Wells-Fargo Express Company will be
put on the grill by the Oregon Railroad
Commission. At least, one local com
mission firm, that of Page & Son. hopes
that the express company will be given
a spanking.
It Is contended by the express com
pany that commission merchants of the
city who use the express company to a
large extent In sending perishable
goods to customers out of the city, are
satisfied with the treatment accorded
them, and that it is only an isolated
firm that has any complaint to maice.
It is said that the complaint filed
with the Commission was the result of
the wish of a single produce firm to
dictate to the express company what
sort of a receipt the company should
issue when accepting perishable ship
ments, something which the express of
ficials say is absolutely impossible.
"Our Instructions to agents leave no
ground for dispute," declared H. Beck
wlth. superintendent of the local
Wells-Fargo office. "We give explicit
directions for the protection of ship
pers, and agents are directed, in cases
of refused perishable shipments, where
the value amounts to $10, to notify the
shipper bywire, at the latter's expense,
of course, if the condition of the goods
makes such action advisable. When
perishable goods are about to spoil on
our hands, we sell them to the best ad
vantage, but in no case to the con
signee who refused to accept delivery,
at any less than the invoice price.
"We have been carryingv out thtB
general policy for years, and have had
no trouble in satisfying the Front
street firms, with perhaps one excep
tion. We dispose of perishable goods
only to prevent a direct loss to the
shipper, and then to the best possible
advantage."
OREGON TEACHER CALLED

chair of History and Political Science In
Paciflo University for many years, has
accepted a similar position in Berea

a large student body and has had a rapid
growth. The Institution is not only of
great promise, but It holds a peculiarly
Important place in the development of the

Professor Robertson was a candidate
for other positions, but responds to a
very strong call for a man of experience,
to aid In the development of the collegi
ate department of this Institution. Pro
fessor Robertson was deeply Interested In
the Oregon Historical Society, of which
he was an active member, and will find In

RENTS CITY STREET
Joseph Supple's Use of Thor
oughfare Amuses Mayor.
SPECIAL PERMIT ILLEGAL
Officials Discuss Improvement of
Park System and Order . Set
of pfans Report on
Expenditures.
. Joseph Supple and- the Independent Coal
& Ice Company are occupying the city's
property at the foot of East Yamhill
street. It development yesterday afternoon
at the meeting of the City Park Board
and Mr. S,upple is receiving $75 a month
from the firm named as rent. He is
operating under one of the celebrated
"special permits." granted by the City
Council. Mayor Lane will proceed to oust
the company Immediately, as that loca
tion Is desired by the municipality for
the public baths.
Mayor Lane laughed long and loud
when it became known that Joseph Supple
is receiving $75 a month from the Inde
pendent Coal & Ice Company for the use
of a city street. It appealed to him as an
excellent Joke. However, that the Joke is
aoout to become more or less serious, is
evidenced by the fact that the Mayor
Instructed ParkKeeper Mlsche to make a
report In writing on the subject. It was
Mr. Mlsche who reported the case, and
from the records of the Council pro
ceedings, during 1905, it is shown that the
Council granted Mr. Supple a special per
mit to occupy the city street.
Special Permit Illegal.
Parkkeeper Mlsche asked the Mayor
and members of the Park Board their
opinion whether Mr. Supple could secure
an injunction against the city if the pub
lie baths were moved up to the foot of
East Yamhill street, and suggested that
an opinion be had from City Attorney
Kavanaugh. Mayor Lane replied that an
opinion from Mr. Kavanaugh on that
point is not required: that the special
permit is Illegal, which has already been
ruled by Mr. Kavanaugh, and he gave
orders to proceed with the placing of the
baths there, so far as that point is con
cerned. 'He also called for a written re
port from Mr. Mlsche. saying he would
take up the matter at once.
The Park Board members discussed
plans for the improvement of the general
park system in Portland, and ordered sets
of detail plans to be secured from Olm
sted Bros., landscape experts, so that the
Board may have data in full upon which
to work.
Report on Expenditures.
Isadora Lang,' a member of the Board,
moved that the City Auditor be Instructed
to furnish the Board with a complete re
port of the expenditures each month. This
was to have been done by the Parkkeeper,
but repeated appeals to the City Council
for an assistant to Mr. Mlsche met with
refusal, and this is believed to be a move
on the part of the Park Board to release
Mr, Mlsche from this duty.
The Sellwood Board of Trade recom
mended to the Board the purchase of a
tract of land lying Just south of the Sell
wood ferry landing on the East Side. It
is an eight-acre parcel worth $40,000. The
members of the Board will inspect the
ground Saturday
The Board members dlscusseed the pro
posed plans of Parkkeeper Mische for the
mprovement of Columbia Park, but took
no action. They will visit the park and
go over the plans In detail with him later.

WATER PROJECT FEARED
Friends of Settlement Annexation
Signing Petitions.
The annexation petitions in Precincts
95. 96 and 97. which Include Woodstock
and the settlements on the Mount Scott
Railway between Creston and Gray's
Crossing, have been generally signed. One)
petition contains the signatures of more
than 200 voters, which is more than the
15 per cent needed to get another vote on
the question. However, the circulation
of the petitions will be continued for some
time to come in order to get as many sig
natures as possible, as it ts thought this
will give the request for a vote more
weight with the City Council.
Friends of annexation consider the new
water company project a movement to
defeat annexation, as the qiie'stlen turns
on the water supply. The people of that
district would gladly ravor any move
ment that promises to supply them with
a reasonable amount of water. There Is
scarcely a section of the Mount Scott dis
trict, outside of those which have their
own supply, but has been suffering and ts
now suffering for water a considerable
part of the time. With the extraordinary
growth of the Mount Scott district It is
felt that unless there is relief next year
conditions will surely be worse than now.
There will be more people, but no more

LEAGUE TO HELP SEATTLE
METHODIST YOCXG PEOPLE
ARE AFTER COXVEXTIOX.
Portland Will Aid in Effort to At
tract Epworthlans pf World to
Pacific Northwest.
The cabinet of Portland District Ep
worth League has indorsed the move
ment by Seattle Methodists to secure
the International Epworth League con
vention for Seattle next July. At a
meeting held in the office of the Pa
cific Christian Advocate last night, the
officers of the Portland district unani
mously voted to lend all possible aid
to the Seattle people in this matter.
F. J. Mulheron, corresponding sec
retary of Portland District Epworth
League, was instructed to send the fol
lowing letter to J. W. Efaw, In charge
of the work at Seattle:
Learning of the erforts Seattle Metho
dism Is putting forth to secure the lnter
nstlonal Epworth League convention for
1909. the officers of Portland District Ep
worth League wish to express their hearty
approval.
We feel that an international convention
In the Northwest would prove of great ben
efit and would be the raeens of stimulating
a greater working interest in the Epworth
League throughout this section, and we
hereby tender you our cordial support In
the effort to securo the honor sought by
Seattle Methodists.
Portlnd district wishes you tuccess In
this effort, and it is the ea.-nest .wish of
the members of Its cabinet that Seattle
be named as the seat of the International
convention of 1909.
The international convention, which
is to be held in July of next year,
will be a notable gathering. It is a
world-wide affair, and attracts young
people and their friends from all over
the globe. At Denver, where the last
convention met, fully 18,000 were in at
tendance. The rapid growth of the
Epworth Leaerue is said to warrant the
belief that the next convention will
have an attendance of not less than
20,000.
J. W. Efaw. who has charge of- the
work of -securing the convention for
Seattle, is committeeman from the
newly-created Fifteenth General Con
ference district on the board of con
trol of the League, and he will atr
tend the meeting of the general com
mittee In Chicago next month. . Dr.
Edwin M. Randall, general secretary
of the Epworth League, is a former
Seattle man, he having been pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church there some years ago.
The cabinet of Portland District
League also selected Taylor-street
Methodist Episcopal Church as the
place for the next quarterly rally of
the Epworthlans. Tne aate was left
to the Judgment of a Joint committee
from the district cabinet and the local
Epworth League chapter.
