BENEFIT FOR LITTLE ONES
Council Denies Request for
Streetcar Franchise, but
Offers Albina Avenue.
PROPERTY OWNERS DIVIDED
Wage Hot Fight Over Route That
Tracks Shall Follow to Reach
Swift Plant on Lower
Peninsula.
Thr will be no streetcar tracks on
Patton avenue, as the City Council at its
adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon.
refused a grant on that thoroughfare,
and Instead offered the Portland Railway,
Usrht & Power Company a franchise on
Albina avenue, to reach the Swift pack
inte plant on the lower Peninsula. Spirited
dissension by property owners m-as waged
for more than an hour before the Council
cast the deciding ballot. Rlr petitions,
both for and opposed to. the laying of
lines on Patton avenue were on tile, ine
vote was 9 to 4.
Councilman Vaughn. In whose ward
the proponed extension is to be made, led
the fight for a franchise on Aimna ave
nue, instead of on Patton avenue. He
gave as his reason that a line on Albina
avenue will b of Tar greater service to
the people in that section of the city than
if built on Patton. He declared that mere
was no opposition by any of the people
on Albina avenue to the tracKs. but there
was much objection by " a large number
on Patton avenue.
Annand Heads One Faction.
The Patton avenue project was favored
by Councilman Annand. upon whose motion-
the vote was taken. He urged that
the property owners wished the line built
on Pat ion avenue, and thought that, be
ing a 100-foot thoroughfare, it would best
accommodate the tracks. Francis I. Mc
Kenna. R. M. Wilbur and others spoke
1n favor of Patton avenue. The vote was
a follows; Yeas Annand, Rushlight,
Wallace. Wills: nays Raker, Relding,
Concinnon. Cot tel. Drlscol', Dunning,
KMIahor. Men? fee. Vaughn.
Mr. Baker called attention to the great
Importance attaching to the many pro
posed abandonment of various lines of
track throughout the city, contained in
the blanket franchise under considera
tion, and said that the matter should
receive the most careful attention. He
said the Council should not permit the
company to abandon any t racks where
tiie people have lwen accustomed to the
service and which would result in an In
Jury to them or their property if the
service was withdrawn. Mr. Kellaher
and others spoke likewise, and Mr. An
nand moved to. strike out of the -franchise
the section In which the numerous
abandonment of tracks was included.
Th motion prevailed. It is thought
likely that the company will apply to
the Council from tim to time for Indi
vidual permits to abandon tracks in
stead of seeking a p-rmit on the whole
bale plan.
Council Will Meet Tuesday.
The Council continued in session con
sidering the features of the franchise
until 6: P. M.. when adjournment was
taken until 9:X) o'clock next Tuesday
morning.
Councilman Kellaher voted "no" on
every motion in connection with grant
ing the franchise, and during the ses
sion made the following statement, ex
plaining his position:
"I believe that the Portland Railway.
TJght Power Ownpany should be given
no more grants until it Is forced to live
up to the franchLes It has. It does not
obey the provisions of ftp; grants. There
are several bridges and streets on which
H refuses to do its part and there are
other things that might be named w'.ilch
show the company. to he hostile. I will
not vote for any more franchises under
these conditions."

ROSE EYTINGE TESTIMONIAL AT
HEILIG AN IMMENSE SUCCESS
Friends Remember Famous Actress in Substantial Way on Occasion of Her
Seventieth Birthday Performance Good, Theater Crowded.
KUVJWHUGH TO ACT
BY ARTHl R A. fiRKKXE.
DI'RINlS several years' observation I
have never seen anything quite so
heartily spontaneous a the testimo
nial entertainment given yesterday In
lienor of Rose EytlnRe on the occasion of
her 70th birthday. The appreciative peo
ple of the town turned out to fill the
HeilUt Theater to its utmost capacity. It
was an exceptionally (rood vaudeville
shnw contributed by all the theaters In
town and by numerous amateurs. The
programme was one of unusual Interest,
combining the best efTorts of the local
theatrical profession and thoie who were
wllin to proffer their mite to the occa
sion which marked the 7'Uh birthday of
the woman who is property rated as the
foremost actress of the American stae.
From a social standpoint the afair
could not have been a arrester success.
And the handsome sum netted Is thj very
best evidence a to Its financial profit.
The individual turns whih attracted
the widest attention were the new Will
M. t'ressy sketch. "Mrs. ttoddard of
"VpslUnii. as acted by Lucile Webster
and Wiliam I, and James treason; the
planoloffue of Miss Augusta tJlose, the
Siiucinn of t'harle Couture, who pos
sesses a brilliant voice, and fairly carried
the audience off its feet, and the de
lightful reading of little Miss Marguerite
Krbert. These turns in particular made
a stroll appeal to the patrons. There
was also considerable local interest in
the "Swastika Sue' number. This new
Indian long Is the work of Genevieve
Thompson and Inland Smith, ambitious
ymin Portlanders. Maribel Seymour and
ber support sang the son splendidly and
ircelved the heartiest applause.
Ms Ixetta Jewel, leading, woman of
Lhe Baker Company, assisted by her sis
ter. Rave an interesting rcadin.fr. while
Miss Mabel Selover delighted her au
ditors with her soprano solo. The four
musical McLarens from the Grand and
Charley Brown and Amy Mortimer of the
"little Johnny Jones" company grave
two capital numbers. Elsie Garrett san
In fine voice and Anne Ditchburn accom
panied a number of the soloists beauti
fully. One of the most interesting features of
the affair was the receipt by Mrs. Gleason
of a check for $25 from Rose Stahl. the
comedienne. This amount was In lieu
of an order for seats and bought a con
siderable section of the house, which had
previously been sold, however.
All things considered, It was probably
the most successful testimonial in the
history of Portland and will net Rose
Kytinge a sum sufficient to amount to a
handsome birthday. The distinguished
actress occupied a box and was the re
cipient of much attention.
The direction of the stage was in
charge of William Dills and William
Gleason. The chaperones were Mrs.
Fred IX Chamberlain. Mrs. George L. Ba
ker and Mrs. William T. Tangle, and
the programmes and candy boxes were
sold by Misses Dorothy Morrton. Gene
vieve Thompson. I-Jsa Wood. Barbara
Crocker. Milla Wessinger. Ethel Cham
berlain. I-ee Todd Bingham and F canoes
Wilson. Miss Bingham, who Is an artist
of exceptional ability, drew some very
striking posters used In advertising the
affair.
Mrs. Mina Crolius Gleason is largely
to be accredited with the success of the
entertainment, as It was due to her
untiring efforts and managerial ability
that the affair went off so smoothly.
It will stand for a. long time as the
finest testimonial performance la th-a his
tory of the city.
Inman-Poulsen Officers .Will
Be Placed Under Arrest.
MAKE FIGHT FOR STREETS
City Attorney Says That He Will In
stitute Proceedings to Reclaim
Streets Which Have Been. Il
legally Held for Years.
City Attorney Kavanauirh is about to
take action to reclaim the street occu
pied for years by the Inman-Poulsen
Lumber Company. It is said the first
move will be tlte arrest of Messrs. In
man and Poulsen. the chief officers of
the concern, although Mr. Kav.maugh
declined to admit that this was his plan
when asked about it yesterday. Yet he
did not deny it. and from reliable sources
It Is learned that this is the course out
lined by him.
It la argued that the- arrest of the
chief officers of the company would
bring the matter directly into court,
probably on an injunction proceeding,
and it would be possible to thrash it out
quickly. This Is the policy followed by
Mr. kavanaugh in the case of the city
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company in the Fourth street matter.
That he will adopt the same course with
regard to the attempt to oust the big
mill company from the city's streela on
the East Side Is believed by those who
have been following the case.
"I have been working on the matter
ever since Mayor La.ne instructed me to
begin proceedings to get back the streets
on which the mill plant is located," said
Mr. Kavanaugh yesterday, when asked
what action he will take. "I am about
ready to act. but cannot state just what
I will do. It may be that I will make
some arrests; It seems at this time quite
Itkelv that I will do so, as that seems to
be the best means of bringing the case
into court and getting action on it."
Mr. Kavanaugh expressed the belief
that the suit will result in the city secur
ing to Itself many of the streets that
have been used for years by the mill
corporation.
The officials of the mill company con
tend that the streets occupied by the
plant were never dedicated, and that the
citv has no right or title to them. They
further contend that if the streets had
been formally dedicated that the fact
that the city has 'permitted the company
to occupv them so many years would
practically estop the municipal officials
from ousting the company.
The matter has occupied public atten
tion for a long time. ,It has been the
occasion for many heated debates In
the City Council's sessions for a long
time, particularly because of the fact
that the mill company protested most
vigorous' against the large contract for
the East Sixth street fill let by the Ex
ecutive Board. This brought the case
Into great prominence. Mayor Lane
finally ordered City Attorney Kavanaugh
to begin proceedings to reclaim the
streets.
0. fi. O. WHS PROTEST
GREAT CIT IS MADE IX THIS
YEAR'S ASSESSMENT.
Board of Equalization Completes Its
Work hy Culling Road's Fig
ures to $2,812,700.
The County Board of Equalization has
completed Its work. Among its last du
ties was the fixing of the O. R. & N. as
sessment, on which considerable figuring
was necessary. Through the protest of
the corporation, the county has lost the
tax on $11.. 187.300. this being the reduc
tion made by the board from the original
assessment.
It appeared from the' testimony of rail
road officials that the O. R. & X. stock
is owned by the Union Pacific Company.
As fast as the profits of the O. R. & N".
came in they were forwarded to the
Vnlon Pacific office In the Katst. But
they were still carried on the O. R. & N.
books at Portland to its credit. All that
was necessary to avoid the assessment
of this large amount of money, received
by the railroad company from its West
ern patrons, was for the company to call
a meeting of its directors, and declare an
80 per cent dividend. The dividend can
celed the loan.
The original assessment this year was
J14.i0.000. This was reduced to J2.33O.O0O,
and a WM.700 merchandise assessment
added. The railroad company is still pro
testing against the payment of last year's
taxes, amounting to about $230,000. A suit
over the legality of the assessment is
pending in the Circuit Court, and Sheriff
Stevens is under an order from the court
restraining him from making collection.
What the entire assesment roll will be
this year is not yet known, as Assessor
Sipler's deputies have not yet completed
their recapitulation, but it Is thought the
total will be about $236,000,000.

DIRECTIONS TO IX A RHEUMATISM RECIPE
Oregonian Readers Who Suffer Will
Find Prompt Relief With
This Mixture.
Recent hospital reports Bhow that
the dread di-sease. rheumatism, is
steadily Increasing throughout the
country. All known means of relief
are bein suggested to save the great
amount of suffering this Winter, espe
cially among those who are not in a
posltlvn to pack up and visited the
noted health resorts to be treated. Re
cent tests prove rheumatism not exact
ly a disease in itself, but a severe
symptom of kidney trouble, a condition
caused by clogged up pores of the
ellminative tissues In the kidneys which
fall to filter the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid from the blood, per
mitting thte substances to remain In
the veins und decompose, usually set
tling about the joints and muscles,
causing the intense pain, swelling and
stiffness of rheumatism.
The following simple home treatment
will cure Rheumatism and is harmless
and Inexpensive, and so simple that
anybody can mix it at home.
The Ingredients are: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce: Compound
Kargbn, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Go to any
good prescription pharmacy and get
these three harmless Ingredients and
mix them by shaking in a bottle, tak
ing as a dose a teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
There is nothing better in the world
for backache, kidney and bladder trou
ble, too. Such symptoms as frequent
and painful urination, soreness, weak
ness, general and nervous debility are
caused by certain acids and poisonous
waste matter, decayed tissue, etc, in
the blood, which the kidneys will clear
and purify after a few doses of this
prescription.
