CITY SUIT PLANNED
Action for Damages Against
Obstructors Suggested.
CREDIT IMPAIRED, IS PLEA
Bonds Also Depreciated by Litiga
tion Improvement Clubs T"rged
by Mr. Manly to . Co-oper-to
la Forcing Issue
Broadway bridge obstructionists will
be mad defendants In a suit for dam
ares to be brought by the city. If the
resolatloa which will be presented to
the City Council at Its next meeting
by Councilman Menefee la adopted
Mr. Menefee will base his resolution
on the decision given Saturday mora
ine by Presiding; Judge Gantenbeln.
who issued a permanent order restrain
lng the obstructionists from beginning
any mors vexatious suits against the
Broadway bridge project. The court
refused to restrain the obstructionists
from circulating false reports about
the bridge or the bonds to be sold for
It. on the ground that the city had
"a speedy and adequate remedy at law
In the form of damage suit." for In
jury resulting from false representa
tions. Improvement Clubs Slay Aid.
M. G. Munlr. head of the North-Ea.t
Sitle Improvement Association. said
yrsterday that his organisation would
take the project up also, and an effort
Is to be made to get other Improvement
organisations throughout the city to
lend their moral support to the fight
of the city against the men who have
been Injuring Its bridge project.
Mr. Munly estimated that the city
has already lost at least 10.000 In the
depreciation of Its bridge bonds
through the action of the foes of the
bridge. He said he believed that the
taxpayers of the city were entitled to
remuneration.'
While Mr. Menefee has not deter
mined how much damages the city
rhould ask In Its suit, be made It evi
dent yesterday that be wss In favor
of making It a large sura. It Is Mr.
Menefee's opinion that the general
credit of the city has suffered much. In
addition to the amount lost by the
depreciation of the sal of bridge
i bonds.
Tber Is no doubt." said Mr. Men
' ere, "that the fight against the.brldg
bonds has had Its effect also on the
' water bonds, which were Issued under
th earn general circumstances. It
.' would be hard to calculate the entire
! amount of financial loss to th city
! brought about by th men who have
been fighting th sale of the Broadway
bridge bonds. I shall submit a resolu
tion to th Council at Its meeting a
week from next Wednesday, authoris
ing the City Attorney to begin suit for
damages against th men who have
caused this loss."
When speaking about the plan of
nresentinr th suit far dun.. to
J the attention of th Improvement or
ganizations. Judge Munly had not
learned about Mr. Menefee's determi
nation to take th issue before th
Council. Mr. Menefee quoted th vari
ous bids to show how th bonds
dropped flv points as a result of th
misleading representations that bad
been made concerning them.
"It ta time this bushwhacking n
th city stopped." said Mr. Munly. "and
I think there is no better way to end
It than to collect damages for what
th obstructionists have done. It has
developed In th suit th city brought
to restrain them that they did not like
to be sued any better than any on
ise.
"W shall try to get the present
Council to act, and If we fall in our
efforts then we shall take up th sub-
jci ok cringing a aamage sun wixn
th new council when It comes in."

Louis W. Hill Returns From
Central Oregon Trip.
SETTLEMENT HAS BEGUN
PniTER-ClRPETKRS STOP OPERATIONS TO POSE FOR PICTURE.
Prinevllle May Be Made Terminus
of Branch, bnt Definite Prom
ise Is Xot Made Oregon
FJectric Plans Walt.
Wonderful changes as compared with
the condition of Central Oregon a year
ago wera noted by Louis W. Hill, presi
dent of the Great Northern Railway, on
his tour of the interior portion of the
state, from which he returned yester
day morning.
Future transportation even more re
markable Is predicted by Mr. Hill, as
well as by Carl R. Gray, president of the
North Bank road; George B. Harris,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Burlington system, and others who
accompanied him on his recent trip.
Mr. Hill visited Bend, Prinevllle. Burns.
"Bill" Hanley's ranch, and other inter
ior points on the anniversary of his last
Journey through the same district.
"I was not so much surprised at the
changes we saw in the towns and new
settlements- that have sprung up as the
result of building the railroad," he eald
yesterday, "but I was almost startled
to see the great difference in the rural
districts.
"Last year the only place where we
saw homeeteaders at work was at Fort
Rock. Thia year we saw them every
where. We learned that many others
have filed but not yet started to build
their homes.
Publicity Mast Continue.
'A big start was made this year In
settling the remote portions of Central
Oregon. Now we will have to keep It
up. Oregon will have to continue its
publicity campaign to attract settlers.
In this work the Portland Commercial
Club has been well In the forefront.
Wherever we went we found eager In
quiries for C. C. Chapman, manager of
tne publicity worn or the Portland club.
They appreciate the work that Mr. Chap
man and the Portland commercial in
terests have done.
"The most crying need of the interior,
however. Is people. Every town and city
is planning to bring In additional set
tlers. At several places we met with
the commercial clubs and discussed witli
them the plan they have In preparation
to have the land taken up. All these
organizations spoke of the work done
by the Portland Commercial Club and
the Chamber of Commerce."
Crops in Central Oregon are looking
splendid, reported Mr. Hill. The season
Is two weeks later this year than in
1910. Last year the season was two
weeks in advance of the normal. This
year it is normal.
In the five days that the party was
away from Portland the members trav
eled more than 600 miles by automobile.
This gave Mr. Hill an opportunity of
studying the road situation. He is a
motor enthusiast and carries his own
machine with him. Central Oregon, he
declared, had better roads than those
parts of the state having railroads. In
their tour, using two machine, they had
only one puncture.
Many Acres Now Productive.
Tonnage of agricultural products from
the interior will be much greater this
year, than a year ago, he predicts. He
saw thousands of acres of wheat and
alfalfa that were barren last year.
One day of the tour was spent in the
big timber country near Sisters. Timber
such as the party saw there would be
worth from 13 to 15 a thousand In Wash
ington, he .asserted. Mr. Harris said
that all this timber would be bought in
the Mississippi Valley.
Construction of Independent logging
roads from these timbered areas to con
nect with the Oregon Trunk will bo un
dertaken in the next few years. The
Hill Interests, however, do not contem
plate further development In mid-state
very soon. They are looking toward
Prinevllle as a possible terminus for a
branch, but have not promised that line
for any definite time.
"The people of Prinevllle have been
patient with us for a long time," de
clared Mr. Hill. "We won't promise
them a road until we are actually ready
to build it. Then we shall build as soon
as we promise.
"There Is considerable territory In
Central Oregon now that might Justify
the construction of new railroads, but
It is another thing to get the money to
build It with."
Orchards to Be Visited.
Mr. Hill and party left last night for
Seattle, where they will remain today.
They will spend a day in the vicinity
of Wenatchee, Wash., to inspect the or
chard districts and then will continue
East.
Inspection of the Oregon Electric, as
originally planned, will not be attempted
this time. Mr. Gray, who remained in
Portand to begin his new duties, will
take a trip over that road as soon as be
find? it convenient.
The failure of Mr. Hill to accompany
Mr. Gray over this line, he admitted,
meant practically the abandonment of
the plans to extend the road to Eugene
this year.
.In spite of the recent utterances of
Julius Kruttschnitt, vice-president of
the Harriman system, implying that the
Union depot situation in Portland was
virtually in the hands of- the Hill inter
ests, Mr. Hill talked discouragingly of
a Union depot project. He said that
even though the two systems agreed on
a construction policy, it would be Im
possible for them to agree on the way
the station should be managed after it
was completed. He. spoke favorably of
the erection of an independent depot by
the Hill forces. f
"My earnest wish Is that the next
time I come to Portland the city will
have taken a long step toward the erec
tion of a permanent and suitable audi
torium," he said before leaving. "I
understand that they have chosen the
St. Paul auditorium as a model for the
proposed local building. They can't
make a mistake If they follow that
course."
Mr. Gray has fully recovered from his
recent illness, and will be regularly at
his office in the future.
"My trip to Central Oregon," he said
last night, "taught me that It Is no
place for a trifler. or an adventurer.
That country needs a lot of hard work
ers and intelligent methods. Success
awaits them.'"
GREETING IS PREPARED

All plans for the entertainment of
Woodrow Wilson have been completed
and in addition to the regular pro
gramme tho Portland Press Club has
