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. ,

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. The merit of Hood's Sarsaparllla Is
proven by the wonderful cures it effects.

The above picture shows a tlrdseye view of the extensive and complete para
phernalia used by the Oregon Pacific and Oriental Street CarnlvaL It Is the most
complete show or series of shows of the kind west of the RocRy Mountains. This
company makes a specialty of street carnivals, county and state fairs, and Is bet
ter equipped this season than ever before -to supply a fastidious public with a
bewildering: array of unsurpassed novelUes neveif before exhibited under one man
.agrement. Everything is nbw in ship shape condition and as attractive to the
eye as good taste and a lavish expenditure of money can accomplish. A series of
entertainments are given that will prove not only Interesting but highly instruc
tive. Under one tent a troupe of famous colored actors, including a quartet of
Jubilee singers imported direct from the sunny South, will hold forth. Planta
tion scenes, quaint negro melodies, buck-and-wing dancing, banjo solos, scenes In
the cotton fields, moonlight dance on the levee, and other equally as strong at
tracUons will delight both young and old. In tho German village a high-class
vaudeville company will amjiso the people with funny skotches, singing and. danc
OLD DISPUTE REOPENED
THERESA FISH SUES LUCRE CIA
XAST FOR. PIECE OF GROUND.
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.
