Anti-Vacation Petition Out. The East
Bide .Business Men's Club is circulating
a petition asking the Council to vote
against vacation of the streets sought
by the O. R. & X. Co., between Eart Oak
street and Holladay avenue, except on the
conditions set forth in resolutions adopted
by. the club. The resolutions ask a com
mon user amendment to the East Second
street franchise, right to cross terminals
for the West Side approach of the Broad
Tray bridge, right to build viaducts' over
the streets vacated and to build a freight
depot. The Business Men's Club's peti
tion is in anreer to the petition circulated
by Thomas Hislop as-klng for vacation of
the streets. Both petitions will be pres
ented to the Council at the same time.
C. A. Bigelow. member of the Business
Men's Club, says petitioners who signed
CMr. Hislop's petition are also signing
the counter petition. "Mr. Hislop's peti
tion," said Mr. Bigelow, "calls for protec
tion of the Interests of the city with
out s-peclfyingr in what way, while our
petition is definite and there can be no
mistake as to its meaning."
Don-key Engine Razes Old Plant. T
A. Sweeney, who had the contract for
tearing down the old East Portland pump
ing station, at Milwaukie avenue and
Fowell street, pulled the building down
with a donkey engine yesterday. The
engine had been used during the week
In digging a bassment for a stable across
the street. Contractor Sweeney decided
upon using the engine when he realized
that there might ibe danger of loss of life
If a few of the beams were torn out at
a time. As the building now lies flat it
Tvill be easy to remove the debris. The
Brooklyn Improvement Club is working
to have this corner made into a children's
playground, notwithstanding its proximity
to the stable and the Brooklyn 6ewer.
The pumping station was put up 18 or 20
years ago before East Portland became a
part of Portland.
Gband-Avknub Route Favored. The
extension of Grand avenue south from
Ellsworth street is considered the best
route to the Reed Institute. Dr. Dav
Kaffety, former member of the Park
Board, says this route is the most direct
and scenic that could be selected. The

I irnmn tf h Pfrsonne U&ud Powell, her vio
lin, her planiBt. Waldemar Llachowsky, and
an interviewer.
Enter interviewer on the heels of her
card, borne by important Oriental of
condescending manner. Miss Powell!
crinkling her little, dark face into
sunburst of smiles:
"Oh, we're just in the midst of a
rehearsal. I've a brand new piece. I
simply must run over it with Mr.
Llachowsky." She pronounces it glibly
and interviewer marvels thereat.)
Business of Mr. Llachowsky thrum
ming gently on the keys while Miss
Powell explains about the "new piece."
"You see," says this Diana of the
Bow, "I've only just received permis
sion to add it to my repertoire. The
new piece is called "The Gollywog, and
it's a cake-walk. Now isn't that a de
parture for Debussy?
"Debussy Is a decadent model of
French composers. His music, I be
lieve, has caused more actual discussion
than that of any other of the modern
composers, unless perhaps one excepts
Strauss. Debussy creates in tone, in
color, and In perfume. There is an at
mosphere of subtlety in his composi
tion. The one "I am particularly inter
ested In is this 'Gollywog' composition.
"It is little less than a shock to think
of Debussy in connection with a cake
walk. He has caught the real Ameri
can spirit and sentiment of the cake
walk, and has idealized it and intro
duced modern French harmonies.
"When I began to play the violin in
public," said Miss Powell, speaking of
her own work, "I was the first Ameri
can woman to undertake it. Even my
own people felt that I was disgracing
the family, and the critics, while lauda
tory, and even loyal, for years con
veyed a 'but,' so that I overdid the
masculine qualities, attempted to draw
too large a tone, accented rythms too
much and was domineering in style.
"Finally two or three critics sug
gested that I cultivate the more fem
inine side of my art. This was the
psychological moment, I believe, when
I forced recognition because I was a
woman, and in spite of the fact that I
am a woman."
BEEF STEERS TAKE $6.10
RECORD PRICE PAID FOR 125
PRINEVILE CATTLE.
Rate 13 Highest Received in Year
and May Be Coast Record C.
Sam Smith Sells Herd.
With the sle of a shipment of beef
steers to the (Burke Commission Company
of Portland, C. Sam Smith, of Prine
ville, has not only received the highest
price of the year, but It Is asserted among
the commission men that J6.10 a hundred
is the highest price ever paid for beef
cattle in the Northwest, if not on the
Pacific Coast.
. Mr. Smith arrived here Saturday with
125 head of grade Shorthorns and Here
fords, aged 3 years and up. They had
been on the road Just ten days, after
which the average weight of the animals
was 1260 pounds. At J6.10 a hundred
weight, Mr. Smith received J9607.50 for the
lot.
The cattle came from the famous 4O00
acre ranch run 'by Mr. Smith. 13 miles
east of Prineville on the Ocho River, and
were fattened on alfalfa alone. They
were driven over the roads from Prine
ville to Shaniko. eight days being taken
for the trip. After loading, the animals
were 25V4 hours traveling to The Dalies,
the freight train carrying them being
sidetracked frequently to give congested
passenger traffic the right of way.
T even helped make track to get that
bunch of steers into the market," said
Mr. Smith at the Perkins last night.
Mr. Smith is one of the pioneer stock
men of the Prineville country, having
located on Jiis present" ranch in 1875. He
has added to his holdings on the Ocho
River from time to time until the ranch
has become one of the best-known stock
farms in Southern Oregon. Mr. Smith
served a number of years as Sheriff of
Crook County.

GREAT FUTURE PREDICTED
Prospective Formulator of "City
Beautiful" Plans Declares Civic
League's Proposal Not De
structive, but Constructive.
"Evidences of a remarkable growth
in the last few years are everywhere
apparent in your city," said E. H. Ben
nett, municipal architect and prospec
tive employe of the Civic League, of
this city, at the Commercial Club, yes
terday. "Portland has not only grown
but will continue to grow. It is the
purpose of your local organization . to
adopt some plan, not to obstruct, but
to aid that further development. That
plan will conform .in every way to the
future growth and 'necessities of Port
land." Mr. Bennett has not jet been formally
engaged by the executive 'committee of
the league, and was reticent about dis
cussing in detail the proposed work
here. He will meet with the members
of the committee some time during the
week, when his services probably will
be engaged and the preliminary task, of
working out "the problem will begin.
For the same reason, Mr. Bennett' would
not tell of his impressions of Portland
as relating to the possibilities of a
systematic plan for making it still
more attractive. Mr. Bennett said he
would reserve any discussion of the
subject until he can inform himself bet
ter' of the city and its needs.
Correcting the impression entertained
by some people, Mr. Bennett said the
plan for civic improvement, under con
sideration by the league, was not de
structive but constructive. He said the
plan did not contemplate in any sense
the immediate expenditure of a large
sum of money or the condemnation of
valuable property. On the other hand,
explained the expert, the scheme has
for its purpose the adoption-of a gen
eral plan, suited to the future neces
sities of the city, which may be fol
lowed as a matter of practical economy
in the final working out of which a
great many years will be required.
The scheme involves every phase of
municipal activity terminals, public
utilities, river and docks, wholesale and
retail districts, residence districts, pub
lic buildings, parks and boulevards. By
Mr. Bennett parks are not considered
valuable alone for their attractiveness
but from the standpoint of the public
health. Every city, he contends, should
have a system of parks', the number
of which should be based on a per
capita of population. He says these
resorts tend to increase the efficiency
of citizenship as a working unit.
Although a young man, Mr. Bennett
is an enthusiast and thoroughly con
versant with the work in which he la
engaged. He is not without experience,
for he has been associated with a sim
ilar movement in Chicago, where the
practicability of a systematic direction

NEGLECT MUST BE SHOWN
Correspondent Inquires if Great
Northern Is Liable for Disaster.
--OREGON CITY. Or., March 6. (To
the Editor.) Is the Great Northern
liable for damages for the death and
injury of passengers resulting from the
recent slides on its line, or are such
disasters classified as an act of God?
J. B. K.
Unless it can be shown that the rail
road company was negligent in a ma
terial way. Portland lawyers are agreed
that claimants for damages in a dis
aster such as that at Wellington can
not recover. To show negligence on
the part of the railroad it will be nec
essary for the complainant to prove
that the railroad had a knowledge of
the dangerous conditions surrounding
its track and. failed to take reason
able precautions to guard against an
accident. This is the basic principle
on which all such suits must depend
and, unless supported by necessary evi
dence of negligence, all such accidents
are attributed legally as "an act of
God." In all such cases, it is for the
Jury to decide from the evidence ad
duced at the trial whether the 'rail
road company was in possession of
knowledge of danger and that, being
in possession of such knowledge, it neg
lected to provide necessary safeguards
for the protection of its passengers.
