Will. Hold Robe Bakqcet. At the last
meeting of the Montavllla Board of Trade
It was decided to hold a banquet In the
early part of January to promote, the
cultivation of roses all through that
suburb and In some new suburbs recently
platted. A communication was received
from the owners of the Ieabo Addition
outlining what they desire to do in the
beautifying of that tract. Streets are to
be parked and Improved and thousands
of roses are to be set out. and they de
sire the co-operation of the Montavllla
Board of Trade in inaugurating a gen
eral movement to grow roses. The pro
position at onoe received the hearty in
dorsement of the Board. A committee
was appointed with Secretary William
KeVeny as chairman to proceed with
the arrangements. The committee has ar
ranged to hold the banquet In the ilonta
villa Hotel on Hlbbard street. Rose cul
ture will be the principal topic and a
rose club will there be formed, and some
other matters will be considered. It has
not yet been settled when the banquet
will be held, but the time will be fixed in
a few days.
Warehouse Deals. C K- Henry A
Son yesterday sold for Dr. Andrew C.
Smith the quarter block on the southeast
corner of Thirteenth and Oilcan streets,
to John Klernan, who will at once pro
ceed to erect a brick building thereon
for tenants. It was sold for 130.000. C.
K. Henry A Son and D. S. Stearns sold
to a California investor for Richard
Koehler the half block on Thirteenth and
Pettygrove. This will probably be Im
proved In the early Spring. This property
was sold for (40,000. The same Arm has
for sale a quarter block on Fourteenth
and Olisan streets for JG0.000. a quarter
block on Eleventh and Everett streets
at $35,000, and a good quarter block on
Seventeenth and Irving streets at 118.000.
They also have a number of other good
properties for sale at right prices. It
Is amusing, however, to see the attitude
of some of those owning vacant quarters
In the so-called warehouse district, some
being holes In the ground without streets
about them, asking more for a quarter
block than half blocks are being sold
for. A number of those who will not im
prove their property nor let others do
so, but who hold out for big prices, state
that It does not cost them very much to
carry same. The Assessor will be pro
vided with a list of those, and the prices
they want to be paid, as well as what
positive cash offers have been made for
them, that they may pay their share
of the taxes. If you want to buy or sell
your property and your prices are In
accord with going prices, call upon C
K. Henry A Son.

pile. However, before the sentence was
executed the Judge considerd a plea from

One Charter Member Lett. Orient
Lodge, No. 17, I. O. O. F., held its last
meeting last night in the old hall, on
Grand avenue and East Pine street, prior
to moving into the new building on East
Sixth street. There was a large attend
ance and a social time was had. Only
one charter member, J. Jeroleman, wag
present, all the others having died or
moved away since the date of the first
meeting. Orient Lodge was started May
IS. 1S67, over 41 years ago, and the hail
was built on East Oak and Bast Eleventh
streets in 1870. afterwards being moved
to Grand avenue. While there was a
feeling of elation that the handsome new
temple on East Sixth street Is finished
there was also some touch of sadness In
the farewell to the old building, in which
the lodge members had been gathering
for so many years and where so many
happy times had been spent. A chair was
ordered by Mr. Jeroleman to be placed
in the new hall, he being the sole
survivor of the charter roll. Next Wed
nesday night a class of 20 or more will
be initiated at the first meeting in the
new hall, which will bring the total mem
bership up to nearly 350.

License Granted Mazjlrocfskt. -The
City Council yesterday afternoon granted
to S. Maxaroufsky a license to carry on
a general auction store on Burnside
street, despite the fact that Mayor Lane
has repeatedly protested against such
action, openly declaring Maxaroufsky to
be a bunco man, and one who, when In
business, sends a continual string of
victims to police headquarters to seek
redress for wrongs perpetrated upon
them. Councilman Belding and Menefee
argued against the license being granted,
but Councilman Kellaher, chairman of
the license committee, urged that It be
passed, as did also Councilman Driscoll.
The latter said. "If a man permits him
self to be buncoed, he ought to be
buncoed."

Council Upholds Mayor's Vetoes.
The City Council yesterday morning sus
tained the vetoes by Mayor Lane on or
dinances with which he found fault. The
ordinance appropriating $400 for payment
to the O. R. A N. Company .for the privi
lege of extending the Marquam gulch
sewer across the property of that com
pany was one of the measures. The
Mayor said the privilege should be given
the city by the company gratis. The
matter was referred to the sewer com
mittee. The ordinance authorizing the
Executive Board to detail firemen to
theaters was also vetoed and the veto
sustained.
Gets Bjoht-ot-Wat Free. The mem
bers of the committee on sewers, of the
City Council, perpetrated what they con
sider an excellent Joke on Mayor Lane
yesterday afternoon, by securing from
tho O. R. A N. Company, a right-of-way
across the corporation's property In South
Portland for an out-let to the Marquam
gulch sewer, without cost to the city.
Mayor Lane had endeavored to do the
same thing, but failed, and therefore
vetoed the ordinance making an appro
priation of H00 to ray for the right-of-way.
The Council sustained the veto
during the 'morning session.
Must String Wires Rioht. At the
morning session of the City Council yes
terday. Councilman Kellaher called the
attention of Mayor Lane to the fact, aa
reported by City Electrician Bavarian,
that none of the public service corpora-.
Hons operating In Portland have com
plied with the provisions of the ordinance
regulating the stringing of wires, the
..njtH een-nrma and other matters per
taining to their business. The ordinance
was passed one year ago, ana oecame
effective but recently. Mayor Lane will
see that its provisions are complied with.
Mator Before Grand Jurt. Mayor
Lane appeared before the grand Jury
Tuesday afternoon and furnished that
hviv with information tending he be
lieved to show that Hydrant Inspector

Jury proposes to take In the matter.

Add rnrRn vcm COWTEMPT. During the
prosecution of the case yesterday against
E. Richards, charged with selling wild
ducks illegally. Deputy Game Warden H.
N. Shears, referred, in the hearing of
Tu.tio of the Peace Olsen. to the court
as a "kangaroo court" and wished the
case taken before "a more competent
court." Justice Olson Immediately ordered
Shears under arrest for contempt and
he was taken Into custody by Constable

Later he was released on bail.

Disclose Which Faction Will
Rale in Organization of Lower
Hobw McArthor Lead.
Friends of the three leading rival can
didates for the Speakership McArthur,
Campbell and Bean promise some Inter
esting developments not later than the
close of the week. It is even Intimated
that the promised announcements will
come very near settling the contest. John
C MoCue, of Clatsop County, tentative
candidate for Speaker, will be in Port
land today or tomorrow, when something
may take place. The McArthur forces
have been seeking to bring a, bout McCue's
retirement in the interest of McArthur's
candidacy. Should McCue formally with
draw, McArthur's friends are counting on
the votes of McCue and his colleague,
Lemenweber, In the Speakership fight.
Senator Bowerman will reach Portland
today and will spend at least a part of
the holidays in the Interest of his can
didacy for President of the Senate.
Statement Men Lack Leader.
One thing Is very apparent. Lack of
leadership among the Statement or antl
MoArthur forces end their failure to se
lect a candidate for Speaker that can
command the solid support of those who
would defeat the Multnomah County man
are the very contingencies of which Mc
Arthur Is making the most. It is known
that the ' opposition to iMcArthur is di
vided between Campbell and Bean and
efforts to Induce either to yield to the
other have failed hopelessly. Both de
clare they are in the field to stay.
In the meantime. It Is reported that
certain of the Statement men, tiring of
what amounts to a deadlock in making a
choice of Speaker, nave begun to look
around for some candidate strong enough
to amalgamate the Bean and Campbell
following Into a united opposition to Mc
Arthur. That Is tho goal of the standpat
Statement members the defeat of Mc
Arthur, It matters not who the candidate
must be.- They are determined to retire
the Multnomah County man from the
field.
' McArthur, however. Is making the most
of the more or less chaotic condition that
exists in the ranks of the enemy. It Is
contended by the friends of McArthur
that the longer the Statement forces re
main divided among themselves the better
McArthur's chances are for winning out.
He is said to be making inroads into the
ranks of the opposition in his efforts to
secure signatures to a call for a caucus
of 31 members of the House. At the same
time the signers of such a document so
far aa secured are loyal supporters of
McArthur. who feels confident that he
will be able prior to the meeting of the
Legislature to insure not only a caucus
but his nomination at the hands of a
majority of the members, of the House.
McArttror Has Advantage
It la further alleged by McArthur's
friends that toe situation is such that he
will profit by the retirement either of
Campbell or Bean, for the reason, they
ay. that It will be Impossible for either
to deliver to the other his full strength In
case some agreement is reached by which
one of them lies down. Several of the
Statement men are pledged first to Bean
or Campbell, and should both be dropped
and the Statement men decide on an
other candidate. It Is represented by the
McArthur force that his chances would
be Improved two-fold. In that he would
gain support from the support both of
these rival candidates have signed up.
The Statement men are equally con
fident of the result. They cannot figure
how it will be possible for them to fail
to organise the House with a Speaker of
their own choosing. To begin with they
claim a standpat strength of 18 members,
not including McDonald, who has re
pudiated his pledge but who. say the
antl-iMoArthur people, will be forced back
into line. This would make a total of 14,
as follows: .-ouch. Orton. Bryant, Alt
man, Jaeger, Mahone, Davis and McDon
ald, of Multnomah; Patton, LIbby and
Hatteberg. of. Marlon: Barret, of Uma
tilla: Jones, of Lmcoln and Polk: and
Jones, of Douglas. It Is further repre
sented toy the Statement people that when
the time comes they will 'be supported In
their efforts to elect a Speaker in op
position to McArthur by the following
six members who formally have not en
tered into any such agreement by a writ
ten pledge: Campbell, candidate for
Speaker, and his two colleagues, Jones
and Dimlck, of Clackamas: Rusk, of
Union and Wallowa; Richardson, of
Union, and Mariner, of Gilliam, Sherman
and Wheeler.
Prefer McArthur to Campbell.
That the Statement men can count on
the siiDoort of a majority of the six
members last named is denied positively
by the McAtthvr people, who declare that
Rusk and Richardson will have nothmg
to do with anv programme with which
Campbell, candidate for Speaker, Is af
filiated and that before they will vote
for Campbell they will be found support
ing McArthur. The Statement men, how
ever, are depending unhesitatingly on the
sTinnort of Mariner on the euengtn or
the fact that Mariner was opposed by
Bowerman In the election. It is claimed
hr the Statement forces that because of
that opposition. Bowerman bem linked
with iMcArthur In the fight for organizing
the Legislature, Mariner will never stand
for McArthur or any other rnena oi
Bowerman.
