CITIZENS TO BLOCK
OfL TANK RULING
South Portland Club Enters
Protest Against Proposed
New District.
SECRECY MARKS PASSAGE
3Iayor Says He Will ot ApproT
Ordinance Until Property Owners
Affected Have Hearing.
Insurance Companies Active.
Mivnr Rushllsrht ha not slsmed th
ordinance passed by the City Council
at a SDecial meeting Wednesday morn
ing, creatlngr five big oil districts In
various sections of the city, and ne ae
clared last night that he will go care
fully into the details of it before tan
lnar action.
Protests from the districts prescribed
In the ordinance are reaching the city
officials, and last night the South
Portland Improvement Club started an
aggressive movement against the pro
posed oil-tank area created by the or
dlnance in that section of the city.
Burt C. Jones, secretary of the club
called upon Mayor Rushlight and en
tered a verbal protest, asking him to
withhold his signature, at least until
the club and the citizens could have an
opportunity to take action.
Public to Have Hearing.
When Mayor Rushlight left his office
late yesterday afternoon he locked the
ordinance in his desk, saying that tie
would give it his attention- later. That
he will give the pumio ample time m
which to voice sentiment on the sub
ject, is said to be certain. It Is be
lieved that a mighty remonstrance
will b& made against moving the tanks
of 'the Standard and Union Oil Com
panies from their present location on
the East Side to any other section of
the city.
Owners of property declare there will
be financial loss to themselves be
cause of the establishment of rights to
the oil companies In the various places.
These protests will be gotten into tan
gible form and will be laid before
Mavor Rushlight as soon as possible,
"We don't want any oil district in
South Portland." said Secretary Jones,
of the South Portland Club. "We don't
need any such "Improvements. We
shall make ourselves heard, too, in a
way that will leave no room for doubt
as to our feelings. We shall take im
mediate action."
little Publicity Given.
The ordinance now before Mayor
Rushlight was passed by the City
Council without any publiicty what'
ever. It was prepared in absolute se
crecy by City Attorney Grant, acting
under instructions from the special
committee of three Councilmen, and
was carried into the special Council
meeting after the Mayor had called the
Council to order. It was read by City
Auditor Barbur at the request of Coun
oilman Jennings, and was not listened
to by the majority of the members, who
were called' to order by the Mayor
while It was being read. It had never
been discussed in any public meeting,
and the only person who was Informed
on its provisions aside from the offi
cials handling it was W. R. Roberts,
who represents the insurance compa
nies. Three months time is given the vari
ous concerns affected in which to com
ply with its provisions, which require
the removal from the East Side of the
tanks and buildings of the Standard
and Union Companies and the construc
tion of fireproof buildings and tanks In
any or all of the districts created.
Whether or not the companies will try
to meet these requirements Is un
known, because the subject has to be
passed upon by the head offices of each
before a decision is reached.
The districts created He along the
river, with the exception of that at
Guild's Lake, where a big manufactur
ing center is springing up.
BOSTON BAND UNIFORMED
Gay Navy Garb to Be Worn by Mu
sicians When Reorganized.
New uniforms, made expressly for the
band of the Oregon Naval Militia, have
been received at the office of Adjutant
General Flnzer from the Navy Depart
ment. The outfits are complete, with
spiked helmets, white belts with regu
lation brass plates, the usual decora
tions on the blouse and other features
as demanded in the Navy, making them
much more attractive than other garb
worn aboard the cruiser Boston. It is
planned to reorganize the local band
and a competent leader will be enlist
ed, to have full charge. Young mVt
with experience will be asked to join
the organization and the uniforms will
not be issued until the band is capable
of making a showing.
Lieutenant Bromberg, of the Boston,
has received word from Captain Rey
nolds that the vessel will leave Coos
Bay between September 12 and Septem
ber IS for Portland. He requested Har
bormaster Speier yesterday to assist in
obtaining a permanent berth for the
cruiser, that she may be moored there,
instead of In the stream, as before.
Preparations are under way to add many
new features to drills in the winter,
which will be held twice a week, and
with the aid of experienced men from
the regular Navy, who will be avail
able, it is expected that the organiza
tion will be advanced to a high state of
efficiency.
tee has adopted the river road between
Mllwaukle and Oregon city, ana is con
siderlng Improvement of the road. A.
N. Wills, who was a member of the
committee which Investigated the
routes between Milwaukle and Oregon
City and selected the river road as the
best, said yesterday that it can be im
proved easily,' as there Is plenty of
rock which may be crushed near the
road. There is a quarry at Rock
Island on the East Side.
Mr. Wills Is opposed to the construc
tion of a new bridge across the Clacka
mas River, and believes the present
county bridge is sufficient and ought
to be used. A few members of the
association are urging that a new
bridge be built across the Clackamas
river near the point where It empties
into the Willamette. This would make
a more direct route and shorten the
road to ' Oregon City, but would make
an expense of $10,000 or 120,000 for
the bridge, which Mr. Wills believes
can be avoided. .
"It will take considerable money to
build the road from Mllwaukle to Ore
gon City," said Mr. Wills, "and I would
suggest that as much money as possi
ble be raised by subscription among
those who live near the road and who
will receive direct benefit from it. Men
who have homes on the road will get
the most benefit, of course. The road
is to be built in Clackamas County,
but we of Multnomah County should do
all we can in aiding the construction
of the road financially. We should
first undertake to raise all the money
we can by subscription, and then levy a
tax on the districts to raise the bal
ance required. A viaduct should be
built above the Southern Pacific and
electric tracks at the south side of
Mllwaukle to avoid all chances of acci
dent. The hill also can be cut down
so there will be only a 3 per cent grade
out of Milwaukie."

RIVER ROAD IS ADOPTED
MHwankle-Oregon City Highway Ap
proved by Association.
Preparations are complete for the
meeting of Irishmen of the city,- under
the auspices of the various Irish so
cleties of Portland at the Baker Thea
ter tonight. The object of the meeting
is to organize a branch of the Gaelic
League Alliance in Portland, to keep
residents here In touch with the work
of the league In Ireland, and to organ
ize them in support of it.
Father Michael O Flanagan, who has
been In this country as a representative
of the league since last October, will be
the principal speaker, and a programme
of Irish music, dancing and song will
be presented by talent direct from Ire
land.
The Gaelic League was organized In
Ireland In 1893, by Dr. Douglas Hyde,
and Father Eugene O'Growney, and Is
known across the waters as the "Irish
Ireland Movement." It aims at promot-
ng everything Irish, such as language,
music, games and industries. Douglas
Hyde, the president, is an Episcopalian,
the son of an Episcopalian minister,
while Father O'Growney, co-founder of
the league with Dr. Hyde, is a Cath
olic clergyman. All creeds are joining
hands In promoting the work. The
league also alms to unite the Scotch
and Irish people In a closer bond.
Father O Flannagan was a member of
the board of executives of the league in
Ireland at the time he left for America,
but according to the regulations of the
league, could not be re-elected at an
election held 10 days ago, on account
of his absence from Ireland. The posi
tion he now fills as representative of
the league in America Is regarded as
the most Important office In the league
next to that of president.
He has lectured at publlo meetings
In the principal cities of the East, and
n many large Canadian cities. He Is
on his way to California, where he will
give a series of lectures in behalf of
the league. He will attend the annual
convention of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians next July in Chicago, after
which he will leave for Ireland, hoping
to reach there In time for the annual
convention of the Gaelic League in the
second week In August. His home is
in Sllgo.
Dr. Hyde, who was elected president
at the founding of the league and has
been chosen unanimously for that posi
tlon every year since that time, was
in the United States five years ago. and
collected $55,000 for promotion of the
work In Ireland at that time. The
money is now almost exhausted, and
the continuation of Dr. Hyde's work In
raising additional funds for the league
Is part of Father O Flanagan s mis
sion in this country.
The meeting today will begin at 8
clock, and is free to the Interested
public. Wallace McCamant will pre
side as chairman, and In addition to
the address of Father O Flanagan, an
address will be given by E. H. Deery.
Eileen Noone 'will give .selections of
Irish airs on the piano, Bridget O Quinn
will dance the Irish reel and jig, Pauli-
nus McDonald will play the Scotch gael
Anna Twiss will dance and sing, and
Frank D. Hennessy will sing "The
Wearin' o' the Green. Representatives
from the various Irish societies In the
city will also be heard.
