An effort is being made to secure- the west 100x200 feet of the block on which the Sunnyside Bchoolhou.se stands, but the effort Is at tended with some obstacles. The Sunny side Push Club has the matter In hand and has been working on It for some time. On the half block desired for school pur poses Is a livery stable, which stands on the Inside lot and a long building and hall xt and on the corner of East Yamhill and Kast Thirty-fourth streets. Value of the land with the Improvements was Esti mated by outside parties as high as $25,000. In order to get possession of the ground the district must purchase the buildings for which it -has no use whatever and which probably could not be disposed of for a fraction of their value. But the district needs the ground In order to have the school block cleared of buildings for a playground and to prevent future com plications sure to arise if retained by private parties. Growth that has come to Sunnyside was not anticipated when only part of a block was secured for tho school house. Contractor Starts Work. The con tracting lirm for the paving of Haw thorne avenue, between East Third and Kast Forty-first street, has started work on that strjet eastward from Grand ave nue. On this part the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has relaid Its tracks with heavy steel rails so that the Improvement can go forward. Halls have been distributed for the remainder of the street. The street railway company will keep ahead of the paving company far enough not to Interfere with the pro gress of the work of paving the street. It now appears that .Hawthorne avenue will be paved without further delays. It will cost the property-owners $170,000 and the street raJlway company about $130,000. It Is considered probable that the avenue will be paved on out to Mount Tabor later on, as there is a big settlement beyond East Forty-first street. Wirino Bio Church. Wiring the big stone edifice of the Southern Methodist Church, on Union avenue and Multnomah street, is being completed. For the audi torium alone several miles of wires are required for lights. When the wiring is completed metal latlis will be placed in the auditorium, and the work of finishing the church will be well advanced. For the heating alone the. cost is $3000. It is hoped to have the edifice dedicated this Summer during the Exposition at Seattle when several of the leading ministers and bishops of the Southern Methodists will be here to assist. Work on this church here when the building is ready. The audTtorium Is one of the largest In the city, and will seat 2000 people. Rev. E. H. Mowre Is the pastor. KtiROPEAN Trip in California.

They found on their travels a well-known Portlander sojourning In the lower portion of the state, who announced when he left Port land that he and his family would make a tr!p to Europe and spend several months. His route in the old country was announced In the papers, but he quietly slipped out for Calirornia where he is making his European tour very quietly and very cheaply. Mr. Dunning covered over 1500 miles and yet his expense for repairs for his automobile was only 35 cents. ' Has LiAundryman Arrested.

The secretary notified M. G. Munly, president of the United Kast Side Push Clubs, of the action taken. Tho Seventh Ward League also favored the change of names. It is desired to get the matter before tho present City Coun cial some time during the present month. Improving Broadway Street. Broad way Is being improved between Vancouver and Union avenues. Between Union and ltodney avenues a considerable nil Is being completed.

When a city fireman Is Injured while engaged In the gentle art of wrestling, is he entitled to pay from the relief fund for time off duty? This is the question which confronted the lire committee of the city Executive Board, which met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Mayor Lane and Messrs. Isaac Swett and John Montag said "no." but P. E. Sul livan, the other member, said "yes." The matter will be decided finally today when the Executive Board meets. "Why do you think that the city should pay a man for Injuries sustained while wrestling?" asked Mayor Lane of Mr. Sul livan. "What do you expect the firemen to do?" asked Mr. Sullivan In response. "Do you want them to sit down and hold their fingers?" "I don't care whether they play with their fingers or hold their legs," replied the Mayor. "The question Is. shall we pay a fireman for time lost because of such an injury as In this case?" A. M. Kreps, attached at the time to engine No. 13, is the man making the application for the pay, but he has ten dered his resignation, which will be ac cepted today. It is doubtful if he re ceives the $25 asked for. Mr. Sullivan argued that the relief fund, which is created by deduction of 60 cents a month from policemen and firemen, is for the purpose of paying such employes when they are disabled. "If you pay a fireman who is Injured by wrestling, what will you do with the poor devil who is put out of business by stomach trouble, or the fellow who is poisoned by eating ice cream?" asked the Mayor. "Well. I guess I would pay him. If he lost time from his post of duty," replied Mr. Sullivan. "I think that's what the relief fund Is for." "Well. I go on record against paying such accounts." said John Montag. "Me, too," said Isaac Swett. "I can't see why we should pay such claims." Road Must Build Depot. ' SALEM. Or.,- May 18. (Special.)
