THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MARCH 12, 1905". 1 . IMPROVE THE CITY Slogan of the Civic Improve ment Board. SOME DIFFICULT PROBLEMS President W. D: Wheelwright Tells What It Is Hoped to Accom plish and Some of the Ob stacles in the Way. "The Board of Civic Improvement and the ontire community are under great ob .Igatlons to The Oregonian for the inter est it has shown in the work of Improv ing the city, and its forcible and judi cious encouragement of the work that so many citizens are now banded together in trying to affect," said President W. D. Wheelwright yesterday afternoon. "I hope It is understood that the board and its members are working for the benoflt of the community, and without any Intention of interfering with a single person In the enjoyment of his rights, but rather to give him more rights and priv ileges to enjoy than he has now. For example. the right to walk through clean and unobstructed streets, to breathe pure air uncontaminated by piles of rotting rubbish, and to rest his eye on well-kept grass plots, trees and shrubbery, that go to make up the beauty of a city. In the course of accomplishing these .objects it is perhaps quite impossible to avoid giv ing offense more or less; the unlimited use of street and sidewalk for private purposes has been allowed so long that it is not strange that many people should t think they have the right to use the sidewalk as their own property, and it will take a little time for them to realize the contrary. "Even then it is not fair or feasible to interpret too harshly the ordinance with regard to 'goods in transit (Itself an elas tic expression) in certain localities, such, for example, as the Front-street district, which is very little traveled, and where the merchants would find it absolutely impossible to do business if that ordi nance were construed too strictly. In such cases and In such districts I think the merchant should not be Interfered with, as long as he keeps the sidewalks open,, with plenty of room for people to pass at all times (except when goods are actually moving across the sidewalk). Must Not Store There. "But this does not give merchants the right to store goods there permanently, or to pile them up even temporarily in such a way as to prevent Its use by foot passengers. This is Chief Hunt's view, as I understand it, and right here I want to say that the Chief has shown himself dis posed to do everything that can properly and lawfully be done by his department in the matter of civic improvement. Ev erything that is brought to his attention is acted on at once, and there has been the most commendable improvement In the way that policemen all over the city are drawing people's attention to the or dinances. Of course. It cannot be expected that every officer will at all times show entire discretion. "With the best possible Intentions they may offend now and then, or . may overstep their authority, and in such cases there must be forbearance and consideration on one side as well as the other. "All the committees are now organized, and it is most encouraging to see the in terest with which each member of each committee is taking up the work. I am sure that great results will be apparent in a very short time; In fact, there is mani fest Improvement all over the city, and not entirely as the result of the efforts made by this board, of course, for there are many public spirited citizens who have recently awakened to the importance of putting their houses in order beforo the day of the Fair. One of the Problems. "The question Is still how to deal with a good many people who won't put their house In order every man's house being his castle, in a sense. You reporters, who are very clever, can perhaps tell us how we can approach a citizen of greater or less prominence, who keeps a vacant lot in a condition that Is annoying to his neighbors and discreditable to the town, find ask him to spend a few dollars in making it presentable, without incurring his enmity and inviting him to tell us to mind our own business. This matter f neglected vacant lots is really the most difficult to deal with, and a should like a little light on it. "I notice a great deal is being said In the newspapers about billboards, but we have done absolutely nothing in that direction as yet, beyond a civil inquiry, as to whether or not the people who seem to monopolize the business are conducting It' with due regard to the ordinances, to which inquiry I have not as yet received an answer. It is a lawful business, and 1 see no right or reason in trying to eliminate it or to tax it out of existence. Nor are the signboards generally as ob jectionable os many people seem to think. 1 have not yet examined the subject care fully, but when the board takes action. It will be in accordance with the consensus of opinion of its different members, and I am sure they will attempt no injustice toward any one." green. Tahiti is fan-shaped and the principal part Is 90 miles around. Its highest peak is 7000 feet above the level of the sea, and the Island, is green to the summit. The population of the Island is approximately 7000. of the city 1500. and all the inhabitants live at the water level. Mr. Craig lived on fruits which stow on the shade trees in the streets and came back much in love -with the little island In the Southern sea. He does not wish to live there, however, be cause there are no railroads and only two mail steamers in two months. It is a place, however, for the rest cure, and to those who wish information on that subject the returned traveler will tell volumes. UNED FOE OBSTRUCTING WALK S. L. Brown, Cigar-Dealer, Has to Pay for Offense. S. I Brown, who has a cigar store at Fourth and AWer streets, was fined 510 In the Municipal Court yesterday morning on the charge of having1 ob structions on the sidewalk in front of his place of business. Mr. Brown has been In the habit of placing- racks and books In front of his store. He was notified that such action was In viola tion of the city ordinance through the Civic Improvement Board, and when he refused to pay any attention to the notices was arrested. His case came up before Judge Hogue last Thursday, but it was postponed in hopes he would comply with the ordi nance. When his case came up for ad judication yesterday It was found that he was still violating the ordinance re lating to obstructions on sidewalks and was fined. Brown protested that he did not think ho had been violating the city laws. The cases of the 15 contractors and merchants, which were to have been settled yesterday, were postponed until Tuesday. It was claimed that they had not received proper notification that they were violating the city ordinance, through a misunderstanding. They will probably all be dismissed, as the cases were postponed so as to allow them time to clean up and remove the debris and obstructions for which they are re sponsible. The cases of three Chinese who have stores on Second street were also postponed until Tuesday. "We Intend to get after the con tractors who have been working on the new Postofflce building," said L. E. Crouch, attorney for the Board, yes terday afternoon. "In direct violation of the ordinance, the sidewalks sur rounding the building have been so covered with debris and waste build ing material that they were nearly im passable. I understand that all the sidewalks are open now, but they are still covered with rubbish that should have been carted away. "We do not an ticipate any trouble with the contrac tors, as we believe they will clean up when notified. Such an accumulation of rubbish and debris as can be seen around the new Postofflce building is a disgrace to the city, and we are de termined to see that it is remedied." Hill Must Work on Rockpile. Willard Hill, a young man of fash ionable attire, who pleaded guilty be fore Judge George Friday to an in formation charging him with receiving money to live upon from Pearl Dickson, was sentenced yesterday morning to work six months on the city rockpile. Hill received a six months' sentence by Judge Hogue, and he appealed the case to the State Circuit Court. On Friday the young man, who was at lib erty on bail, concocted a scheme to square things by making the girl his wife. He obtained a marriage license and went before Judge George and asked him to perform the ceremony. Hill thought that under the circum stances he could safely plead guilty and get Judge George to suspend sen tence. But -Judge Hogue and Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald heard .what was about to take place and stopped the marriage. There was nothing left for Judge George to do but to pro nounce sentence. Hill asked to be al lowed to pay a fine, but his request was denied, and on Monday he will go out with the rest of the gang In the City Jail and break rock. Hill comes from Astoria, The girl who was supporting him is suffering with consumption. Wife Seeks Divorce for Cruelty. Minnie Pickett says that within the past two weeks her husband, Claude Pickett, has beaten her and drawn a revolver and threatened to take her life, and that this treatment has been almost continuous from shortly after their marriage in February, 1S96. She alleges that she has hesitated, for some time, feeling that she did not want to bring a suit for a divorce If it could be avoided, but now feels that it is her only safety. The papers were filed in the State Circuit Court yesterday. Mrs. Pickett avers that she lias no means to live upon, and upon the other hand states that her husband owns a half interest in the Office Saloon, from which he derives a considerable profit. She asks for $10 a week alimony and counsel fees. The litigants have no children. BACK FROM: ISLAND OF TAHITI A. -L. Craig Returns From Vacation Spent in Tropics, A. I Craig, general passenger agent of the O. R. & N., accompanied by Mrs. Craig, returned yesterday morning from an extended visit to Tahiti. Mr. Craig,-in search of rest from the cares of his business, made the journey in order to get as far away as possible from the worries of modern civilization and thinks he found the right place. He returns to Portland, tanned and reddened by the tropic suns. Besides his tan and his contentment, he brings ' back with him many tales of interest concerning the trip and the strange people he saw while on his journey. ' "Did you ever feel lonesome, abso- t lutely lonesome?" Mr. Craig asked yes terday afternoon as he peered over the top of a pile of accumulated corre-1 spondence which nearly hid him from ' view. ' "But I mean the lonesomeness of the ' sea," persisted Mr. Craig. "I mean the j ensation of traveling for days and j days over the water and seeing nothing but waves of tossing on the billows i and knowing that you are absolutely at the mercy of the little - creation: bearing you up. That is lonesomeness; that makes you feel like an Infinites- j slmal Insect In the grasp of the uni- I verse." N 1 Mr. Craig was 28 days in traveling ' from San Francisco and back again. and in that time spent four days on the Island of Tahiti, n the little village of Papeete. He tells entertaining stories of what he saw. There are two kinds of islands In the Tahitian group, one called the atoll, which is composed of a ring of coral, jutting out of the sea. This ring Is sometimes a quarter of a mile wide and is surmounted by tropic growths. The center of the island is in all cases a lake, one of these seen by Mr. Craig being 17 miles across. These lakes are the home of the pearl oyster, the gathering of which is one of the main industries of the people. The other islands of the group are of volcanic origin and rise abruptly from the water's edje in terrace of Murderer Asks for Rehearing. Another move to delay the execution of Frank Guglielmo for the murder of Freda Guarascia was made yesterday when Albert Ferrera, attorney, filed a motion for a rehearing in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court recently af firmed the conviction in the lower court and the 20 days' time within which the mandate must be received in the State Circuit Court has almost expired. Im mediately upon its receipt Guglielmo would have been sentenced to be hanged at the expiration of 30 days from the date of sentence. The motion for a. rehearing will avail The Sale's End's Drawing Near! Do Not Delay Coming In or Writing If the Saving of Money Is an Object.

Sues for Damages for Injuries. E. N. Hamleton has sued the Dia mond Sand Company in the State Cir cuit Court for 57000 damages because of personal injuries. Hamleton was employed as driver of a gravel wacon by J. W. Cook & Co., and on November 18, 1804, was procuring a load of gravel from one of defendant's barges when two bueketfuls of gravel' were dumped upon him. Some of his ribs were bro ken and his spine and knee were in jured. Hamleton sued Smyth & How ard Company for damages on account of this same accident. Several days ago, his attorneys having ascertained that they .had sued the wrong parlies, took a voluntary nonsuit. Old Planks Removed From Yard.
