ANNEXATION RULING DUE
Suit Over Addition of Terrace Park
Soon Is to Be Heard.
The suit to settle whether Terrace;
Park, between East Eighty -second
street and the city limits, the Barr
road on the north, and the Base Line
road on the south, is in Portland,
soon will be heard. George w. McCoy,
who owns property in this territory.
brought suit against the City of Port
land in the Circuit Court, to have the
annexation of Terrace Park declared
void, under the act of 1906, when the
charter was amended, requiring a vote j
in the territory annexed and within
the city. Terrace Park voted itself
into the city in 1908, but there was no
vote taken inside the city.
It can be seen that some serious
complications might result in the event
that the merger of Terrace Park should j
be declared null, and the city might
have to refund considerable money.

the Alontavilla sewer district.

With exports running well over
$2,500,000, building permits soaring
above the $500,000 mark, poetoffice re
ceipts amounting to nearly $100,000. and
bank clearings exceeding $51,700,000.
March was a busy month for Portland.
Statistics gathered from the various
lines of business activity indicate that
the city hai a banner month, with the
best of prospects for the future. .
The moat important increase is In
exports. It is shown that the total
value of the goods which left Port
land was more than $2,560,000, as com
pared with $396,918 for March, 1914,
an Incre&se of approximately 600 per
cent.
Building permits for the month
showed a big increase over February.
X, total of 627 permits were issued.
having a value of $503,855. In March,
1914, a total of 780 permits were Is
sued, calling for expenditure of $882,-
965.
Postal receipts for the first 30 days
of March were $94,811.69, and Postmas
ter Myers expressed a belief that yes
terday's business would bring the total
close to the $100,000 mark. This
about 7 per cent less than the total for
March, 1914, but 5 per cent more than
the total for March, 1913, and Is the
smallest deficit In comparison with the
figures of last year that has been
noted for any month In 1915.
This is considered an indication of a
general improvement in conditions and
a prognostication of better times in the
Northwest
The total receipts for January this
year, which is always a heavy month,
were $98,212.24, and for February, $89,
362.25. Bank clearings for the month ag
gregated $51,771,662, a decrease of $3,
563.357.14 compared with March, 1914.
This decrease, however, is due to there
being one bank less, as the merger of
the First National and Security Sav
ings & Trust Company was effected
last Summer.

Sleuth Royle'a Fear With Drnrioc
Suspicious-Looking License Som
ber la Substantiated by Subse
quent Events. .
HEN City Detective Royle drew
Oregon 14049 as the license num
ber for his newly purchased automo
bile he feared trouble. The first inti
mation of what lies in wait for him
during 1915 occurred yesterday.
He left the machine in front of po
lice headquarters yesterday. ' An hour
later he climbed into his car to go
thief-hunting. The engine started
easily, ran smoothly, but the car would
not budge. When he slipped the clutch
in the low gear grated and shook the
machine, as though it had the ague.
but the auto did not glide gracefully
off, as guaranteed In the alluring advertisements.
Being a detective, Royle made an im
mediate Investigation, and, after clev
erly following down several clews,
found that someone had chained his
wheels.
He stormed back into police head
quarters with fiery eye.
Someone s locked my machine, ' he
shouted, "I'd like to know who did it!"
T did," calmly replied Sergeant
Thatcher. "Your license tags are not
placed legally. You're under arrest."
A complaint to Senior Captain Moore
brought only the demand that matters
be righted at once, or that Royle appear
in court today.
Several days ago Royle found his ma
chine tagged by a- policeman for having
the license number too low. He had
placed It higher to comply with the law
and then had naively put on his rear
tire so that it entirely hid the number.
That was the objection yesterday.

ordinance covering disorderly conduct.
