SAYS ORDINANCE
MUCH TOO VAGUE
Mayor Lane Vetoes Measure
Granting Holbrook Com
pany Franchise.
NO COMMON USER CLAUSE
fcaj-s Grant Does Xol Safeguard Pub
licLine Proposed lo Run on
East Thirtieth From Alberta
to Aln?wtrth Avenue.
Mavor Inline yesterday vetoed the or
dinance recently paused by the City
Council granting: to the F. B. Holbrook
Company a franchise to construct and
operate a tret railway track on East
'Thirtieth atreet from Alberta street to
f-Atnsworth avenue for a period of 24
years. In hia veto message the Mayor
contends that the franchise is Indefl
inite as to its terms and does not prop
erly safeguard the interests of the
public. Amona the speclflc objections
to the franchise enumerated by the
f3kIavor are absence of a common-user
clause, no guarantee that the proposed
railway lln would make connections
with other roatls. and the riarht to
chara-e a 5-cent fare, which Is declared
to be In excess of the value of tha
nervlce. The ordinance is returned to
'the Council for its further considera
tion. The ordinance was granted by the
Council to the F. B. Holbrook Com
pany at tha request of property-owners
residing in the vicinity of .East
Thirtieth atreet between Alberta and
Ainsworth avenue. These taxpayers
lirst requested the management of tha
Portland Railway. Light A Power
Companv to build this extension of ita
Alberta-street line, but the company
declined, at the same time agreeing to
operate cars over such an extension if
the property-owners obtained the nec
essary franchise and constructed the
railway track for the desired distance
of five blocks. These terms were
agreed to by the applicants for a
utreetcar wervice. and Mr Holbrook
was employed as their attorney to con
duct the negottatons. which were car
ried out successfully before the Coun
cil and the franchise was granted.
The action of the Miyor In rejecting
this franchise Is considered significant
as indicating what may be expected
of him when the blanket franchise or
dinance of the Portland Railway. 1-ight
& Power Company comes up for his
consideration There is pending before
the Council such an ordinance In the
Interest of this street railway com
pany, which Includes the franchise to
pHrts of about 40 streets In the city
over which the company proposes to
construct extensions to its present sys
tem. In objecting to the Holbrook ordi
nance, in which the Mayor holds out
for the insertion of a common-user
clause among other things. It is ex
pected that he will demand that such a
provision be Incorporated In every
franchise which may hereafter be ap
plied for by the street railway com
pany. The City Council will meet Tuesday
to consider the blanket franchise that
Tins been applied for by the Portland
Railway. Light Power Company.
In vetoing the Holbrook ordinance.

ing message to the City Council:

BOARDS TO CONFER
Meeting of State Health Offi
cers Proposed.
SESSION TO BE IMPORTANT
Convention or , California, Oregon,
and Washington Organization
Will Be Held In Portland,
According to Plans.
The regular monthly meeting of the
State Board of Health was held yester
day In the office of the secretary. Dr.
R C. Tenney, in the Medical building.
There were present Dr. Alfred Kio
nev, Astoria, president; Dr. C. J. Smith,
Pendleton; Dr. E. B. Plckel. Medford:
Irs. Andrew C. Smith. E. A. Pierce and
R. C. Tenney, Portland. The other
member of the board. Dr. W. B. Morse,
of Salem, was unable to be present, on
account of the shooting by a footpad
of his office associate. Dr. C. H. Robert
son, who though not reported in a
necessarily precarious-'condition, is so
badly Injured that Dr. Morse did not
feel willing to leave him.
Matters brounht up for discussion
before the board covered a variety of
subjects, among the more important
being the care of dairy cattle, it being
the sense of the board that cows should
be tested by tuberculjn at intervals fre
quent enough to Insure the detection of
disease.
Another subject discussed was to pro
vide some means trf put a stop to the
pollution, of streams. A decision was
finally reached that If precautionary
notices continue to be disregarded the
board will, undertake to have offenders
arrested and prosecuted through Dis
trict Attorneys' offices.
A communication was received from
Dr. N. K. Foster, secretary of the Cali
fornia State Board of Health, asking
for an - expression from the Oregon
Board on a proposal to have the State
Boards of California, Oregon and
Washington meet In conference at an
early date, to take up matters In which
the three states are mutually Interested
In furthering health and sanitary mesa
ures. It was resolved by the Board that
Dr. Foster's suggestion be indorsed,
and on account of the geographical po
sition of this state the conference be
invited to this city early next month.
The next annual meeting of the
Board is to be held at Salem December
15, at which time a new president and
vice-president are to be chosen, the of
fice of secretary being a continuous
one.
SOLDIERS TO GIVE BENEFIT
WILL HOLD MINSTREL SHOW
AT HEILIG THEATER.
Cltr Attorney CalMer. of St. Joha,
Who Declare Ttsi May Li
cense Salooas.
of City Attorney Collier that the Coun
cil may. after repealing ordinance 15.
grant saloon licenses If It so desires.
This ordinance is the one passed after
the two precincts composing the town,
and precinct S or University Park
precinct had voted dry at the June
election and was intended to give the
city power to punish bootleggers or
anyone selling liquor without a license.
The Councilmen are shy about ex
pressing any opinion as to whether
they will repeal this ordinance. Coun
cilman Bonham comes out flat-footed
with the statement that he will not
vote to repeal and that he believes the
Council will refuse to repeal the ordi
nance. Councilman Wlndle says that
he would not vote for license unless
the saloons were kept off Jersey street
and restricted to one room, and does
not say that he would even then. Coun
cilman Dobie is In favor of not more
than three saloons and a tl20 a year
license, if licenses are granted at all.
H. C Hunter and "Drydock" John
son are counted as being in favor of
license and Jt may be thai enough
votes can be secured to repeal the or
dinance and license the sale of liquor
on the ground that "the city needs the
revenue." and that as matters now
stand Portland get- the money and St.
John gets the drunks. ,
If licenses are granted it is certain
that the first man to open a saloon
will be arrested and the matter fought
out In the courts.
Receipts From Entertainment Next
Month Will Go to Relief Fnnd
of Scout Voting Camp.
The big minstrel show which the lo
cal Spanish War Veterans are preparing
will be presented at the Hellie Theater
two nights. December 18 and 19. The ex
soldler boys are hard at work rehearsing
for the entertainment, which is to be
given for the benefit of the sick and re
lief fund of Scout Young Camp. The lo
cal organisation has a large membership
and every member Is actively boosting
for the success of the minstrel show.
The war veterans will turn out In full
force for the street parade, which pre
cedes the opening performance. A. J.
Salisbury will be in charge of the pa
rade feature, while Lincoln Hart will
direct the show.
The performance as arranged will be
replete with local Volor both in song
and character. There will be no attempt
at seriousness and the music will be of
a htrh order.

WRITES ONCE IN 18 YEARS
Applicant for Citizenship Denied
Papers.
Any man who doesn't write to his
mother oftener than once in 18 years
is not fit to become an American citl
sen. Not only is he unfit but he cai't
ftet his citizenship papers.
Charles Johan Cacktrom. native of
Sweden, learned this to his sorrow in
the Circuit Court yesterday. Although
he had taken out his papers and was
ready for citizenship it developed dur
ing; the course of his examination that
he did not know whether or not his
aged mother Is living.
"How long; has it been since you've
written to her." Deputy County Clerk
Lownsbury asked the applicant for cit
izenship. "I've written once in IS years.
Backstrom said, a if he (thought there
was nothing unusual In such conduct.
It developed on further examination
of the man that while he reads and
writes English he is densely ignorant,
and could not so much as tell what
form of government is used in the
United States. He was refused admis
sion to citizenship.
Fifteen citizens were admitted during-
the day. Five of the number were
Swedes, four Germans, three Canadi
ans, two English and one Roumanian.
The new Americans are: Muns Mun
son, John Oscar Lindstrom, Peter Anton
Johnson, Seth Nicholas Lind and
Charles Swanson. all of Sweden; Niels
Nielson, Christian Bonde. Otto Rudolph
Martin and William Rextlng, of Ger
many: Elphinstone John Nunn, Paulinas
McDonald and Henry Frost Cutting, of
Canada: Walter Parrish and Percy
Aaris, of England, and Louis Schelller,
of Roumania.

BENEFACTOR AT COLLEGE
DR. D. K. PEARSOXS LEAVES FOR
FOREST GROVE.
Has Already Given Institution $35,-
000 and May Make Still An
other Endowment.
Dr. D. K. Pearsons, of Chicago, well
known as a philanthropist with a par
ticulars leaning toward assisting educa
tional institutions, was at the Portland
Hotel yesterday on his way to visit
Pacific University, at Forest urove. ur.
Pearsons gave to this institution $55,
000 about ten years ago and there is
a fairly well-founded impression that
he intends to make a further endow
ment, by reason of his visit on this
occasion.
Dr. Pearsons is n his way from a trip
to Walla Walla. . where he attended
the educational congress held last week
at Whitman College. When seen yes
terday he declined to discuss his plans
for the future regarding additional
contributions to Coast colleges, but in
timated that he Intends to devote more
money to the cause of education. Al
ready he has made contr.outions to 47
of the. smaller colleges of the coun
try and remarked that he would rather
give away his money as he has done
than in any other manner.
He said he thought the principal
fault with the educational institutions
of the country is that they do not
specialize enough in starting a young
man out in the business or profession
for which he is best suited. He ex
pressed himself as not being opposed
to college athletics but thought if
young men got out in the field with a
hoe or plow and did farm work, :it
would be for the better.
Dr. Pearsons' gifts to colleges and
schools amount in round numbers to
$3,000,000. He Is ranked among the
few wealthy philanthropists of the
country, being ranked with Glrard,
Peabody. amegie and Vanderbilt. He
expects to address the students of Pa
cific University Monday morning, after
which he Is to return to Portland and
then proceed to California, where he
will spend the Winter.
On his trip from Walla Walla and
on to Forest Grove. Dr. Pearsons was
accompanied by Dr. W. N. Ferrin. pres
ident of the University. Dr. Pearsons
left the city last night for Forest Grove
where he will spend the next few days.

NEHALEM BAY LAND COMPANY
PORTLAND, Oregon, November 16. 1908. Dear Friend: We congratulate you
upon your good fortune in securing a holding in. peach property at Necarney
City, on Nehalem Bay. at a time when property was sold far below Its real value.
Since you bought this property it has advanced fifty per cent (50 per cent) but
is stil far below its true value. .
The company has decided to make another advance on this property on the
15th day of December,' 1908. when values-will be increassd one hundred and fifty
per cent (150 per cent) above the first price asked for these lots, or $125 per lot.
The advance of this property is based upon the following considerations:
FIRST The proposed advance Is still -far below the prices asked for less
attractive property on the Pacific Coast.
SECOND Since our former sales were made, the P. R. N. R. R. has definite
ly decided to build down the Bay to the immediate vicinity of this property.
THIRD A water company Is being formed to conduct pure spring water to
this property, which plant will also include an electric light plant to furnish
light for streets and houses.
Necarney City will be the first seaside resort on the Pacific Coast where
water and lights will be on the ground In advance of cottages.
This Is not "hot air." Now, do you see any reason for our advancing prices?
Tou have until December 15th of this year to increase your holdings or advise
your friends to invest at our present price of $75 per lot, with the assurance
that in less than one year the investment will double in value.
