Newspaper Page Textc 2 THE SUNDAY " OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 13, 1902. NO STREET BANNERS Council Committee Refuses to Grant Permits. TWO REQUESTS TURNED DOWN Lewi aud Clark Civic Improvement Association. Asks and Receives the Co-operation of Authori ties Against Nuisance. The stringing: of advertising banners across streets Is to be done away with. The street committee of the Common Council yesterday reported a petition of the Past Sachems' Association of the Im proved Order of Red Men for permis sion to put a large banner containing an announcement of an excursion. The TToodmen of the World presented 6, like petition, which was similarly acted Upon. To bring the matter before the com mittee, Councilman Bronaugh moved that the petition of the Past Sachems Asso ciation be granted. Councllmen Branch and Gllsan voted no, and Councilman Merrill, the other member of the Com mittee, was absent. Mr. Bronaugh jocularly remarked: "You must want to defeat me in fhe coming election." Later on Thomas McCusker, a mem ber of the Civic Improvement Associa tion, made a short speech against these advertising banners. Mr. McCusker stated that he had been requested by the league to present its objections to the committee. He said the association anticipated that political banners would be strung across the streets soon, to a considerable extent, if not prevented. The league, he said, had caused bicycle racks to be removed, and intended to make a fight against the piling of goods on the (sidewalks, and streamers on awnings, these banners, he said, were in the past left up after election, to be blown down by the wind months later. They were Very unsightly. If the Civic Improvement Association was going to succeed in hav ing awnings raised, and In keeping ban ners off the streets. It was necessary to have the co-operation pf the CounclL Mr. McCusker stated further that candi dates do not want banners but other people, who arc after the candidates' good coin. Some of the members suggested that the political committees might desire to stretch banners across the street adver tising the location of the headquarters. Mr. McCusker answered: "We refer to all banners. As a matter of fact, wo flon't think there is any necessity of them. We are trying to beautify the city by taking 'away all ugly signs. The charge is made by the police that they cannot do their duty in this regard, be cause the Council grants permits' for people to do the very thing they are trying to prevent; but you know, Mr. Bronaugh," said the speaker, addressing that gentleman, "that you told me ban ners were put up although no permits were granted by the Council." The members of the committee ex plained that banners were hung without any authority whatever from the Coun cil, and In conclusion Mr. McCusker re marked: "If no permits are granted by the Council, we will see that banners are not put across the streets." The committee agreed to make a favor able recommendation on the petition to open East Seventeenth street from Tay tor to Yamhill. A petition from the Merchants' National Bank and others -was read, asking for the opening of East Third street from East Irving street to East Gllsan street, and Councilman Gllsan remarked that it would be necessary to look the ground over, and as the street has been In Its present condition for 50 years it would hot do any harm If it remained so for another week. A petition from Joseph Eder and oth ers, to lay out and establish an extension of Hooker street, will be reported upon favorably. , TO BURN SCHOOL BOOKS Shipment From Japan Violated copyright Lnvr.

OPIUM IN HIS TRUNK. Alleged Smuggler Caught "While Ar ranging for Its Delivery. One hundred five-tael cans of prepared opium, valued at J4S5, were seized by "Customs Inspectors Crewdson and Gal lagher Friday night. The opium came from Olympla and was consigned to William Anderson. It was in a trunk which had been taken off the Northern Pacific baggage car and which, to the eyes of the inspectors, looked like the trunk of a smuggler. The trunk was seized and opened and the opium was discovered. When an expressman called for the trunk they followed him to Third and Davis streets, where he was hailed by Anderson. When the smuggler was telling the expressman where to haul the stuff he was placed under arrest by the Inspectors and was taken to the county Jail. When questioned by the Inspectors, Anderson told the story which Is familiar to all inspectors. In Olympla he had met a man who was coming to Portland and who had two trunks. He did not wish to pay charges for surplus baggage and he asked Anderson to have one of the trunks checked on his ticket. Anderson read ily agreed, though he had never seen the man before. The man did not tell him where the trunk should be delivered. j and on this point Anderson could not or ' would not give the Inspectors any in- I formation. He was therefore lodged in the county Jail and he will have an , examination before United States Com missioner McKee at 10 A. M. tomorrow. The seizure of Anderson's opium com pletes an even half ton of the drug which has been captured by Portland Inspectors , during the past five months. This seizure will probably prove more valuable than any previously made, because opium Is now at a premium In the local market. An Inspector said yesterday that the drug commands a high price. The usual market value Is $4 42V& per can or half pound, but at the last auction the prlco obtained was $4 85 per can, or $9 70 per pound. At this auction the bidding was spirited and lovers of the "dope" could not secure a single can, for the Celestial capitalists carried off everything at a round sum and then offered the drug at retail. The noxt opportunity the capital ists will be given to bid will be at the auction sale of the contents of Ander son's trunk. MRS. LARNED TO LECTURE Domestic Science to Be Dlscnssed Before "Women's Clubs. The cause of domestic science In Port land Is to gather strength through being made a specialty of the Stato Federation of Women's Clubs, which convenes April 24. The Portland School of Domestic Sci ence, assisted by other clubs, has secured Mrs. Linda Hull Lamed, of Syracuse, N. Y., for an evening lecture during the con vention on the work done by women in elevating the home. Mrs. Lamed is presi dent of the National Household Economic Association, having been elected to her second term by that body last October. She comes to Portland en route to Los Angeles, where, as one of the speakers, she will attend the meeting of the Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs In May. The National Household Economic As sociation was organized at the Women's Congress of the World's Fair In 1893. Lit erature was sent everywhere, interest was aroused, and now the association. Nation al In character, as in name, has workers In every state In the Union. Mrs. Lamed has devoted many yeara to the study of domestic science, and as a lecturer and teacher has acquired an international rep utation.

Owing: to Conflict la Bonndarr Lines Oivncrship Has Never Been Straightened Oat. The suit of Theresa Fish against Iu crecia Nast, filed, In the State Circuit Court, for the possession of a piece of ground 20x100 feet, reopens a property dis pute which has been going on for 10 years. The case has heretofore been stubborn ly contested, but when the final decision in the present proceeding is reached It will probably end the controversy for all time. Mrs. Nast owns a lot 50x100 feet on Hooker street, near Fourth. Louis Trummer owns a lot of the same size ad Joining and east of Mrs. Nast's lot, and Mrs. Fish owns a lot -also 50x100 adjoining the Nast lot on the west. Oh the east of Trommel's lot Is an alley 20 feet wide, and the ground comprising It was sold to the city by W. S. Newberry about 1879, when he was Mayor of Portland. The O. R. & N. Co. owns the property lying west of the lot of Mrs. Fish. Cal culating from the alley to the line con tended for by the O. R. & N. Co., there Is only a frontage of 130 feet, whereas to, make three full lots there should be 150 feet of ground. If the O. R. & N. Co.'s line Is correct, the only way to figure out the three lots "is to take in the 20 feet now used as an alley. There were two sur veys of the property made one by C. W. Burrage in 1667, and the other by H. J. Stephenson in 1870 and there Is a differ ence of 20 fest In these two surveys in es tablishing a certain line. In 1901 the Legislature passed an act pro viding that where there is a dispute over boundary lines the parties sha.ll have the County Surveyor make a survey, and take testimony and establish the boundary lines. If ary contestant Is dLeeatlsfied he can appeal to the State Circuit Court. JoHn F. Logan, attorney for Mrs. Fish, had the County Surveyor make the survey. i which Is the first time this law has been called Into use in Multnomah County. Surveyor Hurlburt upheld the Stephenson survey, which upholds the O. R. & N. Co. line, and for the three contestants each to secure 50x100 feet each the alley will have to be taken In.
