CHILDREN GET LAND Playground Set Aside at Sixth and Lincoln. TRACT TO BE IMPROVED Kcport Is Made tOjWater Board That Pipe Across WiHamette, Which, Broke L.ast Winter Has Been Repaired. Upon recommendation of Mayor Simon, the Water Board, yesterday afternoon, set aside the ground owned by It on Lin coln, between Sixth and Seventh streets, as a playground for children. It will be beautified, the Park Board having- de cided upon this course If the land could be had for the purpose. The Mayor wa highly In favor of this action and theme'm bers of the Board were, entirely willing that this use should be made of It. The Board ordered, the City Auditor to advertise for bids for furnishing pipe and other material, to be supplied by the city. In the new reservoirs. This will cost approximately WO.cmo. When the question of the new service pipe that Is to connect with the Wood mere Water Company's plant and to fur nish a supply of Bull Run water therefor was under discussion. It developed that George W. Brown, president of the pri vate corporation, had submitted an agreement, drawn by himself or his agents, one feature of which was that the company would be permitted to change the rates in that district after 12 months. Mayor Simon called attention to this, saying that it should be fully Investigated. He said that one reason why the city took control of the situa tion there was to give the people better service at reduced rates. The matter was referred to J. C. Alnsworth, W. B. Mukay and Superintendent Dodge for a report. Superintendent Dodge read a report from Chief Engineer Clarke announcing that the broken pipe that formerly car ried a supply across the Willamette River to the West Side reservoirs Is at last repaired and will soon be ready for use. The cement work will be allowed to set, after which It Is said the tube will be as good as ever. It burst last Winter, and because of the error of employes of the Board, who thought both pipes had broken, river water was turned into the mains on the West Side. It was acci dentally discovered later than one pipe was Intact. Engineer Clarke submitted a Question .to the Board, asking as to how he should make up recommendations for districts. He wants to know whether ha shall make recommendations only for present-day needs, or for many years to come. The query was referred to Alnsworth and Mackay. Commissioners FAVOR SPECIAL ELECTION South Mount Scott District Anxious for All Improvements Possible. I. E. Rice addressed the Mount Scott Push Club Monday night at the meet ing held In the hall at Laurelood on the special election proposed to vote on method of laying' water mains, with the result that the club passed resolu tions favor-ing such an election and also favoring consolidation of the of fices of City Engineer and Water En gineer and placing all responsibility on one officer. A committee was appoint ed to present the resolutions to the Mayor. Mr. Rice explained the way to secure electric lights, fire hydrants and other Improvements. . The meeting condemned the publica tion In a Portland paper that the people were opposed to the present arrange ments to get 'Bull Run water. It was the unanimous sentiment of the meet ing that the present arrangement be tween the city and the Woodmere Water Company Is satisfactory for the reason it will bring Bull Run water to the people within a 'few days. Mr. Rice explained that it was a temporary arrangement, which would be super seded in due course by a complete sys tem of pipe lines running through the South Mount Scott district. A representative of the. Postofflce Department was present and explained what the people of the district must do in order to secure free mail delivery. He Bald they would have to name and mark their streets to conform to the city streets, build sidewalks and num ber all houses. Many sidewalks have already been laid through the central portion of the district, and It Is thought free mall delivery will come soon. It was reported that SO lights are to be placed along the Foster road. O. N. Ford presided. . v PAVING ISSUE IS LIP Mayor Would Install Hard Surface Exclusively. WOMAN IS GIVEN FREEDOM Court Kules Mrs. Purser Is Illegally Held In Sanatorium. Hannah Purser 'was freed from the Crystal Springs Sanatorium yesterday morning by an order of Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh, allowing the writ of habeas corpus to issue. Evidence was1 In troduced to show that the County Court of Washington County made an order ap pointing State Senator Wood Mrs. Purser's guardian ad litem. The order states that Mrs. Purser waived time In which to object. Judge Bronaugh' held that because the time was waived, and Mrs. Purser was not given a hearing, the order is defective anS the guardlar shlo Is illegal Judge Bronaugh said be had no power to remand Mrs. Purser to the sanatorium because. In spite of the fact that an In sanity complaint has been sworn out, the woman has never been examined by the County Court or a Justice of the Peace. County Judge Webster is not at present In the city. COUNCIL TO DECIDE TODAY .Harris Trunk Co. for trunks and bage Ten Ordinances Calling for Macad am and Gravel Are Sent Back' Without Simon's Approval. May Revoke Licenses. Shall macadamized streets be under the ban In Portland and hard-surface thoroughfares grace the length and breadth of the city? This is the largest Issue before the City Council, which will meet in regular session at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Mayor Simon has vetoed some ordinances call ing for gravel and macadam, and has returned others without his signature, so that the Council must determine whether to uphold him os not. Mayor Simon is opposed to any but hard-surface Improvements In Port--land, us he. believes that these are the only lasting ones, so' he sent back to the Council a batch of 10 ordinances calling- for macadam r.nd gravel. It Is now up to the Council as to whether the Mayor will be upheld in his efforts to secure well-paved thoroughfares, or whether haphazard " methods in this respect shall continue. It Is the May or's contention that the most economi cal and reasonable Improvement, from any standpoint, Is the hard-surface pavement, as it costs but little more than the macadam and lasts a great deal . longer. The fact that through his efforts there has been a great re duction in the price of all kinds of hard-surface pavements, is cited as one reason why property owners can af ford to have this kind of improvement. The saloon question will again be raised today, as the restaurant liquor licenses of the White Corner and Val ley Cafe will be up for revocation, up on motion of Councilman Cellars. These places have been branded by Municipal Judge Bennett, the police and others as law-breaking, disreput able establishments,, where women congregate to meet men, and where the laws are defied. The proprietors of both places have also been cited to appear before the liquor-license com mittee next session to show cause why their saloon licenses should not be revoked. ... As three weeks have Intervened since the Council last met. an immense vol ume of business has accumulated, and it Is doubtful If the Council will finish its grist during the morning, although j Mayor Simon Is noted for rushing busi nes through without parley. STEAL SIGIJGO- TO JAIL Portland Art Solicitors Get Into Trouble at Vancouver. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Oct. 12. (Spe cial.) For stealing a sign on which were painted the characters, "13, ped dlers skiddoo. 23" (with skull and crossbones attached), two men 'giving the names of A. Plant and E. J.

GRAIN Growers at Asotin Hope for Higher Prices In Spring. ASOTIN, Wash.,' Oct. 12. (Specials- Farmers of this part of the State of Washington are resolved to hold their grain until the opening of the Spring markets. They are not at. all satisfied with the outcome of the grain prices. In the farmers' warehouses of this county very close to 1.000.000 bushels will await the opening of better prices. Aitnougn a very large amount of the grain has been sold, the prices at the mills of the county have been better than those quot ed at the warehouses and Coast markets. State Organizer of Farmers' Unions L. C. Crow, of Palouse. Wash, who was here this week, states that he advises the farmers to hold their grain until at least Spring. MRS.

All dealers carry Burlington Will Not Use Ore gon Trunk Line. WALKER REPORT SCOUTED Millionaire Timberman Gives Inter view in San Francisco Which Is Conducted by J. J. Hill's Representative. According to a report emanating from San Francisco the Oregon Trunk Line is to be projected into California, with San Francisco as an ultimate terminus and the new road Into California Is to be the means whereby the Burlington Is to reach San Francisco. This report Is based on an interview with T. B. Walker, a million aire timberman from Minneapolis, whose timber interests are said to be so great as to bring him Into close touch wltn James J. Hill and who Is purported to be one of Mr. Hill's financial allies. John F. Stevens, president of the Oregon Trunk, yesterday denied positively, that his road was going Into California, at least under the present plans, and said that the plans included no other building than that of the surveyed lines in Oregon. "I knew Mr. Walker for 30 years while I was In Minneapolis," said Mr. Stevens, "and while I know him to be a promi nent timberman, I have never "known him to be connected with the Hill Inter ests In any way. "This Burlington proposition is a new one. but it is getting now so that a good many reports are being circulated about the Oregon Trunk, all equally without foundation. The Oregon Trunk Is not, however, planning to enter California and we, will confine our operations to Oregon." Mr. Walker Is quoted as saying: t had a talk with Mr. Hill some time ago and he told me that he did not consider that a line from San Francisco to the North would be of great advantage taken by lt!elf, but that -his mind was rather to extend the Bur lington to San Francisco, coming- through the northern part of the state and the Sacra mento Valley. My timber holding In the northeastern part rf tiie etnte would not be grarly benefited bv a line running north into tha timber coun tries. When the time comes "I believe that the Burlington will be extended to the Coast, en tering California in the northern part of the state and coming down the Sacramento Val ley to San Francisco. The Oregon Trunk will be built to a con nection with this through line In the north eastern part of California. Thlx will give another line to the north and a more direct route to Eastern Washington. Northern Idaho and Montana. . It Is also likely that another feeder will be built south through the San Joaquin Valley. But the Important part of the whole plan Is the extension of the Burlington to the Coast, which 'has been so long talked of. This will give a direct dutlet for the timber in the northern part of the state to the cen tral and eastern parts of the country, where the market is. SACK OF APPLES IS COSTLY Justice Court Gets Money and Thieves Pay Fines'. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oot. 12. (Spe cial.)'
