Hawthorne - AvBirttrE Improvement.
The Barber Asphalt Paving Company has
started on the improvement of Hawthorne
avenue for which It has the contract be
tween. East Third and East Forty-first
streets. Grading- has been commenced on
the south side of the avenue east from
Grand avenue. The Portland Railway,
1,1k lit & Power Company has replaced its
double tracks as far as East Tenth street
and the south side track has been relaid
to East Thirty-fifth. It has a large force
at work completing the north track. The
company has its work far enough ahead
ot the street contract that It will not de
lay the improvement. Property-owners
are wondering what has become of the
movement for a 12-inch water main to
he laid on Hawthorne avenue, between
Fast Twelfth and East Third street, be
fore the hard-surface pavement la put
down. There Is no water main on Haw
thorne avenue exoept small pipes between
these two points and. It Is considered
necessary that the big main be put down
at once and not after the pavement has
been completed. There are also many lots
along Grand avenue to East Forty-flrst
street, the end of the present improve
ment, for which no provisions have been
made for -water and other utilities, and it
Is desired that all these connections
should be made at once before the hard
eurface pavement Is laid. J. 8. Foss, a
property -owner, said yesterday that every
owner on the street whether he has a
house or not should at once see to It
that all these connections are made.

tract for the erection of the three-story

announced that final plans are belnjr pre
pared by D. I. Williams for the three
storj brick business and office building
for A. Prter, to be erected on the north
west corner of East Morrison street and
Grand avenue. Contract for the base
ment will be let this month. At present
the corner Is occupfed by two small

and Is Promised Hearty Sup
port by City Fathers.
Harmony between public officials,
economy in the administration of the
city's affairs and the best governed mu
nicipality on the Pacific Coast was
pledged last night by Mayor Simon and
members of the Council, who were enter
tained at dinner in the Com mAwlal Plus
by George L. Baker, recently 1.i
president of the Council. The Mayor, In
answer to an urgent request by Toast
master Annand, spoke briefly, outlining
mo poncy or tnis regime, as one of pains
taking Care for th wslfura nr 1
who, he declared, are "groaning under
the burdens of taxation and must be re

the members of the Council assured him
ot txill and undivided support.
"I do not mean when I say that this
administration la t loot -.,

all know I did not seek the office," and
then proceeded to state that he be
lieved the one great business of the
Council for the next few months is to
.uCc.,i useiT rrom the criticism
brought upon it because of the ridic
ulous actions it had tolerated during
the past two
that, in his opinion, the Council had
. .oe... iU uia.me ior tne severe cen
sure it had received from press and
public, and While the members of the
Council may sometimes have been un
justly treated and suspected, still the
present Councilmen must conduct
themselves with far better decorum
than in the past, and show the public
that the Council Is not "a Joke."
Councilman Rushlight, who was a
candidate for Mayor In the primaries
and who has been a leader In the mi
nority during the Lane administration,
pledged Mayor Simon his hearty sup
port, as did also Councilman Concan
non, the sole surviving Democrat in the
Council.
Tvlln Talks of Future.
Councilman Devlin, -who as City Au-
tne city many years, de
clared that the city Is entering upon a
new era in its prosperity, and said he
believed Portland will be the first city
on the Coast to have 1,000,000 popula
tion. The City Council, said he, has Its
part to perform in making a city beau
tiful and in giving "the best adminis
tration ever had here," and it was his
wish that each member of the Council
should so conduct himself that no sus
picion shall fall upon the legislative
body during the term of office, and
that the community shall not regard
the Council as "a bunch of grafters."
Other members of the Council spoke
likewise, harmony being the watch
word. Each one present assured Mayor
Simon of hearty support, and he
thanked them, saying his only ambi
tion as head of the city government
is to give the people an efficient and
economical administration.
Mayor Simon and the Councilmen
discussed various civic affairs, and for
one thing decided to attend the A-Y-P
Exposition In a body on Portland day
July 20.
Calvin Hellig was present and when
called upon to speak said that he had
Just completed a canvass of the city
and promised the people one of the best
theaters in the country. Ed Heillg
also connected with the theatrical busi
ness, deoMned to speak at length, but
Jokingly invited the Mayor and others
present to attend the opening per
formance of the new theater "at their
own expense." Calvin Heilig went one
better, extending an invitation at the
expense of the house.
Those present were: Mayor Simon.

Mother Hasn't Spoke
to Father Since"
Mr. Brown's Faculty for Evsstoa
Gets Him Into Trouble With Wife
and Woman Acquaintance.
MR. BROWN has a heap of troubles.
His name is not really Brown, but
that Is near enough to answer.
The trouble with Mr. Brown is that
neither his wife nor a lady friend. Miss
A., will believe him, and thereby hangs
a story.
Mr. Brown has a room at a leading
Portland club. On a recent evening, wish
ing not to be disturbed, he left word-with
the telephone boy that if a lady called
she was to be told he was out. The lady
called up later. A new boy answered the
phone. "What is Brown's room number?"
he asked. Another boy answered: "Brown
said if a lady called, say he is out." The
boy obligingly told the lady, but unfortu
nately he had left the listening key open
on the telephone, and the lady heard.
The next day the lady called Brown to
account- "Oh, you are really making a
mistake," said the ready perjurer. "As a
matter of fact I was out, and the boy
must have confused me with some one
elee."
Miss A. accepted the apology. Brown
went home and told his wife of the in
cident. She laughed over it, and when a
lady friend visited her next day, she
thought the story too good to keep. She
Miss A, as it happened, was the vis
itor. "Why, it was I who called him up."
said the lady. "Impossible," said Mrs.
Brown. "Mr. Brown told me it was a
man."
Now Mrs. Brown and Miss A. don't
speak when they pass by; Brown stays
more and more at his room at the club,
and a little bird says that some one may

BULLETIN No. 17
(Adasreel Vrorm an Arrlcfle lr lradertclt W. Obtrara la Pablle Servtee.")
Out of each nickel -which, the Portland Railway Company collected In
108. searlr 1 qvnta "srent tor labor; more than .14 of a cent was required
for power, A of a oont took care of repairs and renewals, rolling- stock
and other equlpmaats interest on bonds took up 1.16 cents: rentals and
purchase of real estate, etc. .15 of a cent; damages and legal expenses
.16 of a cen taxes to otty and state .1 of a centj .66 of a cent remained
for erxtraortUnarr- ranewals. depreciation and dividends. Flva years affo
thera remained 1.23 oenta for this purpose, and it looks as If it Is quite
tlma for the stockholder to bestir Mmolf to se at least whether any
thing is necessary to protect his Interest.
AMds from the re am la r charges agatnst each nlohel mentioned abova.
there was expended in 10B $90,500 for street improvements, as an
indirect tax upon the earaica, from wbtoo, no additional revenue was
derived.
The average fare per paasenger has dropped from 8.RI cents tn io.
to 8.TT cents in 1906. due to the increased nse of the transfer prrvltesre.
The upshot of any serious discussion of the crisis in street railway
operation would be likely to be to the ef f eot that it devolves very larwely
upon the pnbllo, including, of course, the large olass of stockholders, to
determine what they wish to have happen. Present tendencies are
clearly beyond engineering and financing skill to alter, without the
co-operation of the consumer. Transportation is a commodity which
has beoome one of the neoeasttles of life in urban communities. The
everyday man who uses the oars Is more vitally affeoted than anybody
else In the satisfactory settlement of street railway problems. The
capitalist who has his money invested In urban transportation properties
is not obliged to keep his money there. There are numerous other op
portunities for Investment. The operating officials have less to lose,
since the competent expert is always reasonably certain of a Job either
in the same business or in some allied business. The people who suffer
most severely from interruption or impairment of the streetcar service
are those who have no financial Interest in the securities of the oom
pany, but who are vitally concerned in getting to and from their work
expeditiously, comfortably and inexpensively.
The futility of imposing anything that approaches inordinate taxa
tion upon the street railway company should be imparted to the public.
In the interest of preserving a proper type of relationship between the
community and the public service corporation. It is remarkable how
few citizens of average intelligence and ability appreciate that in levy
ing taxes upon a transportation company they are simply appelating the
corporation to serve as tax collector; the money thus collected oomes
from the publio and returns to the public treasury.
The same loose thinking which makes many people conceive of the
state as an entity separate from the individuals composing it, leads
them to think of the corporation as a creature perhaps as an octopus
which can in some way be injured or punished by being compelled to
pay fines and special taxes; but in all such oases the traveling publio
indirectly pays the bill.
Borne Portlanders may tell you that our street railway service might.
In their opinion, be improved in certain particulars. A majority who
have visited other cities will tell you that on the whqle Portland has
the best streetcar service of any city of like sise in the United States,
and the efforts of the management to Improve still further the service
should not be handicapped by useless, pernicious and often vindictive
legislation. All fair-minded or thinking people who give the matter
consideration, will not lend their efforts to make the work of the com
pany more trying than the ordinary run of business requires; but will
Join bands with them m co-operative effort, not only for the welfare
of the corporation, but for the best interests of their rapldjy-growlng
city.
