Before Napier's report w set read.

the necessity that tha men employed

work. They tiled a report charging
Napier wtth unfair conduct toward them.
They assaertod that he had tried to handi
cap their efforts in various ways, chiefly
by going out early In the morning and
srdertng tha acavengers to mix the com
bustible and unburnable garbage to
gether, which Interferred with the fires.
After liewenlrg to the reports snd hear

cerning the new plant, the Hoard decided
to continue tln present Una of testa for
two mora weeka before any change la
made.
I'r. Smith supported Napier In hie

"I have been there and have seen

Turning to Fred P. Smith. Ir. Sm!tb
asked him pointedly whether the crema

We were seven tons short yeeterdey,
said Mr. Smith, "end that wae because I
waa not notified that much of the morn

also because of an excess amount coming
at ones In the afternoon."

rrnrvr Or- Feb. 1. (Special.)
The fight for a commission charter for
Kugene assumed an active aspect io
night when a maaa meeting of cltlxen
. ... i ti.no ..iced that the Com
mon Council Include a specific measure
on the ballot at me April eie. ii..ii. .
Council, however, rejected both tha pro
posed charters, and Instead provided for
a charter commission of nine to go to
work Immediately after tha April elec
tion. Conflicting reporta as lo action or tha
maaa meeting cams to the Council
chamber. Following ths report favor
ing Immediate submission of a charter.
iv.. . rv . a Kontieht of aDDrOval
of the Council's action by ths rour-
flftha of the cltisens remaining i
mootifie and anotner speaker
charged that discussion hsd been over
ruled by high-handed memoes in u.w
mass meeting.
At the Courthonse meeting, attempt
waa mule to confine the discussion to
ths po'nt at Issue, namely, the ratifica
tion of ths report of ths charter com
mission, and to prevent long argu
menta on commission government .n
general, so that the Council would have
a chance to adjourn. Nor did the mass
meeting Indorse the action of the Coun
cil. The new ordinance waa read, but
no vote called.
Feeling la becoming Intense and
rharges of mismanagement of city af
fairs on the part of the present admin
istration add fuel to tha argumenta for
a commission government. Moreover,
advocates of ths commission plan feel
they have been tricked by the Council.
They rolled on the Council's Invitation
to aubmlt a charter, and are chagrined
to find delay asked for. Supportera of
the admlnlatratlon maintain that the
few tnon'ha required for drafting of a
new charter la not material, and delib
erate action la ths best. At any rate,
ths city campaign, which la uaually con
fined to two weeka. promisee to con
tinue with energy for ths remaining

This morning when sellings name

said: "I resent the remarks made by
the Senator from Douglas yewwrany
that any of my acts are or a political
nature and I deny the Imputation. But
I do think that the acta of the Senator

No. "
Abraham, rising to a nuestlon of per

the most profound logicians differ.

Intelligently In this respect. If I have
offended you personally, Mr. President.
I apologise. What I have said and
what I will hereafter say I say only
In the Interests of the country and the

Home on the West Side
ON THE West Side are the gentle sloping hill
sides, from which can be seen the snow-capped
mountains and the rivers and the valleys. Those
West Side hills, which afford the most magnificent
view, are those which lie to the south. A fourteen
minute ride on the Oregon Electric from Front and
Jefferson lands you at what is now known as Fulton
Station. All of the land near to this station is beauti
ful, gentle-sloping, hillside property the choicest in
the city. Now is the first opportunity the public has
had to purchase home sites in this truly beautiful

THIS is to be Portland's select residence section. Only homes
may be built. The whole of the property is fully restricted.
The minimum cost of a home has been placed at $2500. These
delightful hills will be interwoven with magnificent avenues and
boulevards. The "City Beautiful" system of parkways will
extend through Burlingame. Burlingame will be shown to
visitors to the city and described as being THE select section of
the city. The first prices are always lowest. Those who are wise
enough to figure ahead a little, get in on the ground floor. You
will want your home in Burlingame. Home sites from $700 to
$1000 10 per cent down, 2 per cent per month. Extra special

BENCH CASE WABBLY
SOME KOK, OTHERS AGAINST,
INCREASE OF JUDGES.
Committee. Not lo Decide Its Report
on Court-Relief Bills Until
Meeting Todav.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 1.
(Special.) Consideration of the bills
asking for two additional Circuit
Judges, enlarging the Jurisdiction of
the Justice Court. Increasing the sal
ary of the Constable and certain depu
ties In the District Attorney's office
and other measures relating to Mult
nomah County will be considered fur
ther at another meeting of the dele
gation tomorrow.
Members of the delegation, like the
five Circuit Judges, are divided in
opinion as to the need of Increasing
the members of the Circuit bench.
Some favor enlargement of the powers
of the Justice Court, elevating it to
the dignity of a District Court and
provide another magistrate.
It is believed this would serve to
grant the relief desired in the Circuit
Court, although some of the delegation
Is willing to provide for another Cir
cuit Judge also.
The bill for Increasing the salary of
the Constable of the Portland district
from $1500 to 2400 will have hard
sledding. There is a disposition to
grant increases in the salaries of the
deputies In the District Attorney's of
fice. These questions probably will be
determined at tomorrow's meeting of
the delegation.
A few of the members of the delega
tion are opposed to creating any more
Judgeships on the Circuit bench. At
Tuesday night's hearing the Circuit
Judges left with the delegation a mem
orandum showing the number of days
every Judge was on the bench during
1910.
The average was 18H days every
month. It Is argued by some members
of the delegation that If some provi
sion could be made for more continu
ous service by the five Judges now
serving the increased volume of busi
ness that could be handled would re
move the necessity for more Judges.
