PLAN IS IMPOSSIBLE
City Cannot Levy Tax for Re
moval of Garbage.
CHARTER STANDS? IN THE WAY
Scheme Suggested by Woman's Club
Is Not Feasible, but Council Will
Probably Advertise for- Bids
to Collect Refuse.
Under the charter, the city canot levy
& tax for the collection of garbage, as
.suggested by the Portland Federation of
Women's Clubs.
"The charter strictly provides for -what
purposes taxes may be levied," said
Mayor Williams yesterday. "Collection
of garbage could not be Included. The
only way would be to take the money out
of the general fund, and that Is drawn
upon very heavily as It Is. Some other
icheme will have to be devised. Whether
anything can be planned which will prove
Bn Improvement over the present system
Is a question."
Owing no allegiance to the resolution
sf the club, a proposition will shortly be
introduced into the Council providing for
a general collection of garbage. The
scheme as - it is generally understood
FORESTRY.
An exhibit In forestry In itself will be the Forestry building, which Is one of the
structures for which a call for bids has ' been issued by the Lewis and Clark State Com
mission. The building will stand out In bold relief among the array of snowy white
staff buildings which are to adorn the Exposition grounds
Every part of the building -will be from Umber that has not known a mill of any
kind. The -walls will lie horizontally as far as the top of the first story, while the upper
part will be finished in durable barks. The roof will be covered with shakes.
The interior will savor quite as muoh of the forest and the frontier as all the furni
around the City Hall is that a contract
shall be let to one man or company, who
shall collect the garbage of the entire
city and be responsible for Its proper de
livery to the city crematory.
Bids will be advertised for the lowest
figure on so much per load, cubic yard,
pound or whatever basis Is finally deter
mined upon. The lowest bidder will be
given what, will be a practical monopoly
of the garbage-hauling business for one
year. The family, store or factory from
which the garbage emanates will pay for
it, according to the amount removed.
One of the greatest troubles with the
street-cleaning department at present Is
its never-ending struggle with scavengers.
The greatest carelessness is manifest In
tho method pursued by the majority of
those who handle the city's refuse. On a
rough street a third of the load may be
dropped from the uncovered wagon be
fore the crematory is reached. Complaint
is made to the street-cleaning department.
It tries to find what scaveneger passed
that way and dropped the objectionable
garbage. But no. not a scavenoger can
be found who has been within half a mile
of that particular street for a week. So
the street-cleaning dejartment has to
gather up the waste.
Should the entire garbage-hauling busi
ness be conducted under one management,
redress would be easy. And it is more
than probable that the company taking
cuch a contract could well afford to pay
the city for the privilege of collecting gar
bage at reasonable rates. Then the dis
posal of garbage would be a source of rev
enue, ns It Is In New York.
The City Board ot Health will take up
the garbage question at its meeting Tues
day morning. The State Board of Health
will not take notice of the matter unless
it becomes a source Vf general menace.
Complaints have been frequent about
the condition of the crematory, situated
on the borders of Guild's Lake. Odors as
of an Augean stable have been wafted to
the dwellers on tho surrounding acres
nnd for years animal refuse has been
dumped Into the lake. Next year Vene
tian gondalos and electric launches may
ground upon these heaps, for the Lewis
end Clark Exposition will surround the
lake Itself.
But Mayor Williams and the members
of the City Board of Health are opposed
to a removal of the crematory. It has
cost money to Install and will cost still
more to remove. The capacity will soon
be doubled by the placing of two addi
tional furnaces. Much of the complaint
is supposed to have arisen from the fact
that the garbage cannot be burned as
fast as It is deposited by the scavengers.
The new furnaces will cost 56095.
The management of the crematory is
directly under the executive board, and
not under the direction of any of the de
partments. Five men have been employed
there for some time, three working dur
ing the day and two constituting the
night shift, as the furnaces are kept
constantly employed.
TEADE HINT P0R AMERICA.
Consul-Genera! in China Says Goods
Must Be Better Packed.
OREGONIAN 2CEJVS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 22. "If more care were ex
ercised in packing goods for Asia great
benefit and increased trade would result
therefrom." writes Consul-General "Wil
cox from Hankau, China. Hen then goos
on to give the following examples:
"About four yoars ago the American
soda crackers, or biscuits, as they are
called here, wore introduced into this
market and found a ready sale. They
were light, crisp, and far preferable to
the English biscuits, which, neverthe
less, now Bupply the market here. The
first lot of these crackers were soon dis
posed of, and fhen several firms ordered
a stock. When, the second consignment
was received and placed on sale they
were returned to the merchants by their
customers, who found them unfit for
use That supply is still on hand, but
no further orders are given for the Amer
ican soda crackers. Whether it was all
due to a packing or to the poor quality
of shortening used. It is difficult to say.
I do know, however, that last Winter
several hundred cans of the same kinds
of crackers were condemned on the
United States transports as unfit for use,
"Tho'Britlsh biscuits and cakes are al
ways fresh-looking and sweet and seem
to keep any length of time. They
packed in tin boxes, with the outer and'
inner covers soldered on, the boxes being
lined with specially prepared paper and
a packing of cut tissue paper.
"All English candies are packed the
same way every piece wrapped in tin
foil. If American candles were prop
erly packed, so as to resist moisture and
the Jarring Incident to shipment, they
would arrive in good condition. Instead
of being mashed and unsightly, as at
present, and would be far superior in
quality to any confectionery in this mar
ket. British oatmeal, or rolled oats, is
packed in 1 and 5-pound tin boxes, .sol
dered; while most of the United States
products of ImUar articles are sent
packed in either pasteboard boxes or
heavy paper bags.
"The result of all this is that the dealer
will inform you, on inquiry, that they have
the American article, but advise you to
take the English, as the American, on
account of not being put up properly, is
liable to be moldy and wormy.
"A short time since, on inquiring for
hams of the American brand, a British
dealer said that he preferred them to the
English, but that they are packed so badly
that they mold and mildew, and his cus
tomers were afraid to buy them. English
hams are first placed In a cloth bag and
then in a large bag containing oat chaff,
which carefully Incloses the smaller bag
and ham. The chaff absorbs the mois
ture and the ham opens In good condition.
"A few weeks ago a dealer in tiger and
leopard skins desired some artificial eyes.
The order was sent to one of the largest
mall-order houses in the United States.
On arrival Jtwas seen that one-third of
an Inch of ofckum had been placed in the
bottom and sides of the box; then one lot
of eyes had been placed In the box in bulk,
a layer of oakum thereon, and the box
then filled with the other lot, put in all
together on top of the first. On account
of these articles not being wrapped sep-

arately, more than 50 per cent of them
were broken.
"The Important factors to bear In mind
are: To have the outside packing double
extra strong to prevent moisture; deli
cate articles must be packed separately In
some soft material, so that no amount of
Jarring win Injure them. Many coolies
seem to enjoy throwing boxes down as
hard as possible In order to break them
open."
CHANGE IN MANAGERS.
On March 1 Dr. T. P. Wise will assume
the management of Wise Bros.' dental
business, in the Failing building of this
city.
Dr. Wise Is a graduate of the North
western University Dental School of Chi
cago, I1L, one of the best schools of this
kind In the world. Dr. Wise has prac
ticed his chosen profession for the post
ten yoars with great success. He com
bines rare skill with excellent judgment
and Is a thoroughly reliable man.
Dr. W. A. WJse. the present manager,
has found It necessary to advance his
brother to this Important position so that
he may devote more time to his con
stantly increasing private practice.
Wise Bros, will in the future as in the
past put forth every effort to serve the
public and Increase if possible the splen
did patronage already enjoyed by this
wide-awake firm.

FIRST GALL FOR BIDS
Lewis and Clark Buildings
Will Soon Rise.
ARCHITECTS' PLANS FINISHED
State Commission Adopts Report Call
ing for Expenditure of $235,000
Contracts Will Be Let on
r March T9.
Contractors and builders may now begin
to figure for bids on the nine structures
of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, pro
vided for by the state. The State Com
mission authorized a call for building bids
at an adjourned meeting yesterday after
noon, and the contracts will be awarded
March 19. that is. if any of the bids sub
mitted are desirable In every respect. .
The formal call for bids appears for the
first time In the advertising columns of
this morning's Oregonlan. Similar adver
tisements will be Inserted In St. Louis pa
pers. In order that Eastern contractors
may have a chance to submit figures In
competition to Westerners.
The appropriation for these nine struc
tures totals exactly $235,000, leaving a bal
ance of JGS.OPO out of the state's 1300.000
appropriation. This balance will be ap-
plied to the Installation of an electric light
and- power plant and to the Incidental ex
penses that are bound to follow.
Tho apportionment of the building fund
allows $75,000 for tho construction of the
state's building. $45,000 for the liberal
arts building, the same amount for the
festival hall and $30,000 for the super
structure of the bridge across Gulld'a
Lake. The forestry building gets $20,000 of
.the fund, and the entrance, administra
tion, fire department and public comfort
building are allowed $20,000 more.
While each of the buildings aro distinct
ive in architecture and complete in details
and finish, the most magnificent will be
the states' building. It Is In this structure
that will be shown, the resources of the
states of the West and Northwest, as well
as part of the products of Oregon. It Is
to be 450 feet in length and 200 feet In
width, and the surfaces will be In staff
finished with plaster of parls,. to give the
effect ot marble. The design Is by Archi
tect E. M. Lazarus.
The festival hall and liberal arts build
ings will be equally prepossessing, the
festival hall being possibly the more elab
orate In tleslgn. Both will be finished In
tho same material as the states build
ing, as will the other and smaller build
ings, with the exception of those on the
Guild's Lake bridge and the forestry
building. The bridge will be of Oregon fir
covered with painted cements, and the
forestry building will bo entirely of un
barked logs.
It was agreed by the members of the
commission that all the buildings must be
ready for occupation by November 1. At
that time the St. Louis exhibits will begin
to arrive, and these buildings will be need
ed In which to dtore them preparatory to
their arrangement In exhibition order.
There was little or no discussion of tho
plans when they were brought before the
commission at the opening of tho meet
ing. They were presented by Chairman J.
H Albert, of the building committee, who
stated that his committee had gone over
the plans as submitted by the various
architects, and had found them to come
up to every requirement except a few
small alterations which might be required
later by the superintendent of buildings
or director of architecture. By unanimous
vote of the commission the report of the
committee was adopted. The commission
ers present were: Jefferson Myers. W. E.
Thomas. J. C Flanders, Frank Williams.
F. G. Young and Dav Raffety.
Having disposed of the buildings, the
GETS REBATE ON GAS BELL
Lawyer Keeps Close
.York Gas Company
New York Evening Post.
jit VERDICT for $6.30. the full amount
f sued for, was given against the New
Amsterdam Gas Company by Justice
Herman Joseph in tho Seventh District
Municipal Court today In a suit brought
by Robert G. Langdon, a lawyer, of 252
West Fourteenth street, for illegal over
charging in gas rates. The suit was made
a test case by Clarence J. Shearn, Mr.
Langdon's counsel, who says that now he
has secured a favorable verdict In one
case, he Intends to press many other
similar ones for both landlords and ten
ants who claim to have been overcharged.
The company's counsel put in no defense.
Two postponements had already been
granted them, and they asked for another,
but the Justice refused it.
Mr. Langdon's' contention was that In
the months of October. November and De
cember. 1903. $15.40 was charged and col
lected for 15,400 cubic feet of gas. con
sumed in six burners in the hallways of
his jircmlHM. Tho plaintiff said this
charge was $6.20 too much, as not more
than 910 cubic feet of gas was actually
consumed.
John J. Hart. Janitor inMr. Langdon's
premises, was the first witness. He testi
fied that the six burners used were not
turned on more. than half cock, and that
although the same amount was burned
during the years 1S0L 1902 and 1903, the
bills Increased all the time.
The plaintiff. Mr. Langdon, was next
called. He declared that his bill for the
last three months of 1903 was 331-3 per
cent higher than It should have been, and
that when he complained no attention was
comralsslon took up the matter of appoint
ing a custodlam fer the Oregoa, 'State
building at "St. Louis, and an assistant
superintendent of the mining xbibit at
St. Louis. Miss Mabel G. Wehrung was
given the appointment as stenographer
and custodian of the state building, while
the appointment of assistant superintend
ent of the mining exhibit went to Com
missioner Frank Williams, who has had
considerable experience in the 'mines of
Western Oregon. Commissioner Williams
is looked upon as an excellent man, as he
mas tho welfare of the mining Interests
of the state at heart.
At the conclusion of the meeting Presi
dent Myers spoke briefly of his St. Louis
trip, stating that there is no doubt but
that the Government will make an appro
priation sufficient for the erection of a
number of valuable buildings and the In
stallation of several extensive Government
exhibits.
Regarding the failure of the memorial
building appropriation to receive Indorse
ment, Mr. Myers- said members of tho
House committee pointed out to the Ore
gon delegation that no such appropriation
had ever been made by the Government,
and that it might be very unwise to es
tablish a precedent.

Miners Narrowly Escape Burial.
WARDNER. Idaho, Feb. 27. (Special.)
The worst cave-In ever recorded In the
mines of this district occurred Wednesday
afternoon In the Bunker Hill & Sullivan.
The entire top of stope No. 7. the largest
in the mine, came down, breaking the
heavy timbers Into splinters. Over 101
men were working In the stope, but suf
ficient warning had been given toenable
them to escape, although several were
severely Injured and had to be dug out
by their comrades. The rush of air after
the cave-in was so great that a miner
working In a tunnel 900 feet away was
thrown to the ground. Tho rock forming
the cave-In is very rich, and will all be
mined out at once.
'Watch on Trick of the Meter and New
Is Ordered by Court to Pay Back $630
paid to him by the gas company's offi
cers. Since he had brought the action
against the conjpany. it had put In a new
meter which, according to a record he had
kept, showed a lessening of the gas con
sumption, although he was positive that
the 17; had been no difference In the amount
actually consumed In any month for the
past three years. This new meter showed,
he said, that from January 5, to February
3. 3700 cubic feet of gas was consumed.
His bill for the last three months of
1903, on which he was bringing suit
showed, he declared, that in October 4700
cubic feet of gas was consumed in No
vember, 4500, and In December 6500.
William Jones, an expert chemist, called
hy the counsel for the plaintiff, offered
figures showing that if the six burners
in question had been turned on full for
six hours a day for 30 days, the amount
consumed would not have exceeded 5827
cubic feet, and as the six burners were
only turned on half cock, he Inferred that
the actual amount used was not more
than 2914 cubic feet per month. This ended
the plaintiff's case.
Turning to the defendant's counsel, Jus
tice Joseph asked:
"Do you put In any defense!"
"No," said Messrs. Sherman & Sterling.
"Very well," said the Justice, "the de
fendant not appearing. Judgment is ren
dered for the full amount sued, JC.30."
Mr. Shearn said afterward:
"There Is a law which I Intend to uao
against the gas company by which It can
be fined $50 for every case in which action
la brought and verdict rendered for fail
ure to give proper light. I Intend to see
that the gas company gives the proper
amount and quality of gas, and docs not
overcharge for it."

L. SAMUEL RETURNS FROM A
TWO MONTHS' TOUR.
Weil-Known Portlander Visits Many
American Cities and Talks Enter
tainingly of Their Advantages.
From the Pacific to the Atlantic.. Cuba,
and return, a Journey of 13.000 miles, il
Samuel, manager for Oregon for the Equi
table Life Assurance Society, in talking
of hla two months' trip last night. Bald
that the grandest natural sight he had
witnessed during his tour was the Grand
Canyon In Arizona, and that the one city
possessing the best natural advantages
and surrounding scenery Is Portland. Mr.
Samuel was accompanied by Mrs. Samuel
and M!s3SamueL
"At the outset I wish to remark that
during our entire trip, although we carried
three umbrellas, these umbrellas were only
opened for one hour each at San Fran
cisco and Mobile, Ala.," proceeded Mr.
Samuel. "When passing through Salt
Lake City I noticed that Pattl was to
sing there In a small theater, and that
prices for admission were $1, ,J2 and 53- In
Portland, I saw from the newspapers sent
me, that the price to hear Patti sing in a
large building like our Armory was J7.S0.
In the hote) &t which wo stopped at Colo
rado Springs I noticed this sign in the
guests' rooma and bathrooms: 'Liquors
can be obtained at the drug store In tho
hotel.' Colorado Springs is a reformed
town of recent date, and on inquiry I
found that there were 26 drug stores in
the place, whero a special license of $1200
per year each was paid for the privilege

ot selling liquor, and that all these drug
stores do a good business Jn this line. Two
or three years ago Colorado Springs made
a special effort to abolish saloons, and I
can safely say that at the present time
there Is more liquor sold In that city than
In any other city of. its size In thl3 coun
try. One wonders, in the light of such a
situation, if a strenuous reform movement
is. a good thing.
"Washington, D. C, is the most in
teresting city to visit in the United States:
It is so beautifully cared for. One night
during our stay there, there was a heavy,
downfall ot snow, and when I wont our
the next morning at S o'clock all the side
walks had been cleaned, and also all the'
paths leading through the parks. Palm
Beach, Fla.. Is such a delightful spot
that 4t was one of the places we were
sorry to leave. At the Winter resorts in
Florida tfte hotel people really look after
the comforts of their visitors and busy
themselves providing attractive amuse
ments, so that they keep their guests with
them. Two hotels' at Palm Beach are
owned by the same management, and
each morning the combined orchestras,
numbering 52 musicians, give a concert at
one l$tel, and each afternoon the com
bined orchestras again give a concert on
tho veranda of the other hotels In the
evenings separate concerts are given at
each hoteL Horses are not seen around
there. Tho favorite means of locomotion
are wicker chairs attached to bicycles,
and the latter are propelled by negroes.
You sit In your wicker chair and get all
the locomotion you wish for $1 per hour.
There were 300 of those chair-bicycles In
operation during our visit, and they were
kept busy all day and early evening
Along the beach were chairs with canvas
canopies to protect one from the sun. at
a charge of 10 cents per hour. How I wish
that hoielkeepers, etc, at Summer resorts
In Oregon could see how guests are cared
for at Florida hotels! They would get
some Ideas worth following up.
'lit Is always a pleasure to notice citi
zens beautifying a city where they have
made their money. Take the case ot
Henry G. Marquand, of New York City,
the president of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. He has given to this museum pic
tures amounting to millions of dollars, for
tho benefit of the people. Other New York
citizens have presented picture galleries
to the city. Henry Shaw has presented
to the City of St. Louis, Mo., the finest
botanical gardens In the world. The en
tire proceeds of his estate go toward the
maintenance of these gardens, which are
of course open to the public
"The preparations for the World's Fair
at St. Louis are immense, and the Fair is
going to astonish visitors. The majority
of tho different state buildings are already
erected, and the state buildings of Wash
ington and Nevada are worthy of their
states. But I looked in vain for the Ore
gon State building I could not find It. It
Is a great pity that the Oregon bihldlng Is
not In position, for we are losing a great
amount of advertising. Pictures of the
different state buildings are already being
sold to visitors at tne Fair grounds at St.
Louis, and Oregon's building does not ap
pear among the views.
"Havana, Cuba, did not specially appeal
to me. Sanitary conditions were bad dur
ing our visit, although It was some conso
lation to know that much has been alijeady
accomplished In this line since the Ameri
can occupation of that place. We could
not find one good hoteL We found that
the Cubans have a high regard for the
Americans, but the same cahnot be said of
the Spanish people still remaining there.
We visited the largest sugar plant In the
world at Mariana, 40 miles from Havana,
where we saw the cane growing, ground
and converted Into sugar.
"It Is of course Impossible to talk of all
the places wo visited, such as Niagara,
Mammoth Cave. Garden of the Gods, etc.
That has already been done by countless
travelers. After considering air the cities
we have visited. I think that Nature has
scattered her gifts with a lavish hand on
Portland. Here we have an Ideal climate
all the year around, and superb natural
advantages. Take the cose for example
of Los Angeles, CaL Los Angeles ba3 the
finest houses of any city In the Union,
and these houses are painted and cared
for. It is also a cleanly-kept place, and
has an Ideal Winter climate But at the
time we were there, no rain had fallen for
a long time," and they were praying for
rain at a time when Portland was sin
gularly blessed in this nartlcular."

became Premier In 1901.
Katsura was born In 1849 In the Prov

in the western part of the main Island
of Japan. This province has given birth
to many' Illustrious statesmen and gen
erals, among them Marquis Ito, Field
Marshal Yamagata and Count Inouyo.
The Viscount believes that Japanese
are the best soldiers in tho world and
says he would not fear the result ot her
had to lead them against any white
troops. One thing much in favor of the
Japs Is that they are so small the enemy
can't find them. Nothing In Japan la
too good for Katsura. He Is the Idol ot
the people. All kinds of honors have been
showered on him. At 55 he is ready to
take the field.
