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.
