TIIE 9I0BNING OREGOXTAN., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 21, 1923 17 D.G LEWiSAROUSES BGELOWS Comitteeman and Commis sioner Nearly Tangle. MARKET CHANGE ASKED Protest Is Voiced Against Unsani tary Condition on Stands Conducted by Aliens. When D. C. Lewis, legislator elict, intimated that City Commis sioner Bigelow might pick a large red apple from a heap on one of the fruit stands in the public market and saunter on his way through the market eating it, he brought the commissioner out of his chair. "I m not going to say that my friend, Commissioner- Bigelow, picked off one of these apples and ate it," declared Mr. Lewis. "You never did, you big stiff," shouted Mr. Bigelow, "and if you attempt to insinuate that I -did I'll throw you out of the window.' And as if to carry out his threat Com missioner Bigelow left his desk in the council chambers and advanced in the direction of Mr. Lewis. Mayor Demands Order. Mayor Baker pounded for order, demanded that the two men calm themselves, after which Mr. Lewis declared the whole affair was a joke. The argument arose when a com . mittee composed of Mr. Lewis, M. F. Wright and Mrs. E. W. Kimball appeared before , the council as rep resentatives of the Fraternal Fed eration of Oregon to protest, against unsanitary conditions on stands conducted by aliens in the public market. After Commissioner Bigelow's feelings had been - ubdued some what. Mayor Baicer took a fling at Mr. Lewis by saying that if the organization represented really wanted to accomplish something a sane committee should be ap pointed" instead of permitting poli ticians to come before the council simply to make a grandstand play. Mr. Lewis Mentioned. "Are you referring to me?" asked Mr. Wright. "No," Replied the mayor. "But if you wish me to be real frank I don't mind saying I mean Mr. Lewis." "I knew you were cracking at me all the time," interposed Mr. Lewis. The committee, through Mrs. Kimball and Mr. Wright, then voiced objections to the use of side walks along the market streets by merchants, and Mayor Baker agreed to instruct the police to clear the sidewalks. The committee then pointed to the large number of aliens on the public market and to the large num ber of hotels and lodging houses operated by aliens. Co-Opcrntion Is Promised. Mayor Baker informe-' the com mittee that the city council's ac tion was guided by law and order and if the committee desired to gain relief from this situation; the legislature was the proper body to grant it. "We have no power to discrim inate against any one," the mayor said, "but we are willing to co-operate in this movement. I stand for the Americans first, last and all of the time, and will do anything to favor them, but we must follow the law in all of these cases." for the year 1922 have taken a seri ous jump, according to estimates of the forestry department in this city. Although the complete annual re port is not available, since the fire season in these states for the year is net yet ended, the proportional figures show that 58 per cent of the fires thus far recorded in Oregon were this year caused by human agency, while 76 per cent in Wash ington were likewise man-caused. Twenty-one per cent in Oregon and 31 per cent in Washington were due to campers and smokers alone. Chief Forester Greeley's annual report for the year 1921 issued now for the first time, shows that nearly 6000 forest fires were started on national forests during that year, one-third of which were attribut able to the carelessness of campers. One-fourth were caused by light ning; and brush burners, lumber men, Incendiaries and railroads were held responsible for the bulk of the remaining fires. More than 375,000 acres of na tional forest land was burned over, with a total damage of more than $200,000. The cost to the nation for fighting these fires amounted to $532,811. SCHOOLS PROTEST SPEED PUPILS HELD IN DAXGER FROM WILD DRIVERS. Police Regulation of Traffic on Newly-Opened Street Sought by Creston and Arleta. Complaints of speeding and reck less driving on the part of motorists along Foster road which is en dangering the lives of. school chil dren have been made by the parent teacher organization of the Creston and Arieta scnools. Aid of the traffic department of the police is being sought by representatives of the school patrons who art pointing to the fact that one fatal accident and three in which pedestrians have been seriously injured have occurred along the recently opened 1 paved street within the past ten days. The pavement has recently been laid along Foster road from Fifty second street to Seventy-second street and at present only the north half of the street from the streetcar tracks to the curb is open to traffic. Residents of the district complain that too little care is being taken by motorists who in driving east and west pass on the north side of the Mount Scott streetcars. Several persons have been struck when alighting from the streetcars. The danger from having only one side of the street open to traffic will be eliminated soon when the south side is opened, the pavement having already been laid south of the tracks also. Patrons of the Creston school declare that the intersection of Foster road, Powell Valley road and Fiftieth street is proving one of the dangerous street crossings for children of the school and are en deavoring to have a traffic officer dttaiied there. Both Arleta and Creston parent-teacher organiza tions and patrons of these schools are co-operating in an effort for immediate relief from danger to pedestrians along Foster road and residents of the district are asked by them to note license numbers of autos violating traffic ordinances and to report them to the police station. ; jost Oust Today lt9s Great!
