Appointment by the city council of a technical engineer to work with an engineer employed by the public eerr-!-e commission to formulate some definite solution of the street rail way problem in I'ortiana nss oeen suggested by City Commissioner Pier and Fred BuchteL chairman of the public service commission, who con stitute a special committee appointed "by the Joint commissions for the pur pose of Investigating plans in con nection with the traction company In this city. In a letter to the city council It is said that the magnitude of the task assigned and the stress of work be fore the members of the special com mittee makes It imperative that tech nical engineers be employed to con duct an Investigation sufficiently comprehensive to permit the commit tee to present a meritorious report. The public service commission will assign Will H. Clark, railroad engi neer, to the task of investigating the various proposals offered for the so lution of the railway problems, and it Is probable that the city will name J. B. Newell. Although the Investigation resulted from the presentation of a suggested plan by Mr. Newell, it is announced that the seope of the Investigation to be made by the committee will not be confined to this plan. The Cleveland plan of street rail way operation, the municipal control of the street railways in Seattle and other unusual forms of street rail-; way operation win oe mTrsiiRii. and In addition the committee will rail in officials, associations and in dividuals particularly Interested In or Informed on civic affairs for consul tation. In the hope that in the end some definite, feasible plan may be submitted to the joint bodies tor con strieration. Action on the suggestion made by the committee will be taken by the city council next Wednesday, It Is understood, and inasmuch as Mr. Newell is now being employed by the city, it Is probable that he will be Instructed to shift his work to this Investigation.

Pa-trnrizcd Milk and Cream Ex hibited In Chicago .Competition d Li-t After Journey East. J lea Fortland received first honors for pure milk, in competition vHh the principal cities of the United States and Canada at the national dairy show held In Chicago, according to word received yesterday from Dr. D. W. Mack, chief milk inspector of l'ortland.

Second honors for pasteurised cream were won by the Hygeia Meadows tairy of Portland, its sam ples scoring 93.!. "More samples were entered than In any previous show, said Dr. Mack in his message, "and consequently com petition was exceedingly keen." When Dr. Mack left Portland to take the Portland samples of milk and cream to the national show he expressed some doubt as to the ability of Tort land to win any prizes, because rf the length of the journey. Extreme rare was taken to pack the samples in ice and. judging from the results, the milk reached the show in good condition. This is the first time that Portland has entered the national show in the east, although Portland has won first honors for pure milk at all of the shows held in the west.
