Too Cheap and Prohibitive of
Competition, Says Mayor,
Opposing Act.
BIG COMPLAINT EFFECTIVE
Simon Finds Type of Post Discarded
by West Side Is Fois-ted on East
ern Section Ordinance
to Be Sustained.
Mayor Simon yesterday tiled with City
Auditor Barbur a. strong veto message,
containing his reasons for Interposing of
ficial objection to an ordinance passed by
the Council at ite last session, designat
ing a etyle of post to be used on the East
Side for illuminating purposes, ine sen
ous points against the one adopted are
said by the Mayor to be that It is a cneap
' make, being rejected on the West Side,
and that it eliminates competition in
lighting. The veto will undoubtedly be
sustained.
Hardly had the ordinance been passed
by the Council, when objections to the
tvpe of post adopted therein began to
roll into the City Hall, and the Mayor
was soon aware of the fact that there was
general dissatisfaction with it. and lie de
cided to veto the ordinance. Later a long
petition remonstrating against the siyie
of post, and requesting thp Mayor to veto
the ordinance, was filed with him. This
contains about 60 names of prominent
men who are interested, and shows the
sentiment that prevails.
Kubli Favors Veto.
Councilman Kubll. who represents the
Eia-hth Ward, in which the district is su
uated. wants to hafe the Mayor's veto
sustained, and then get a committee to
take up the problem of lighting on tne
Kat Side, and arrange for some kind of
a lamppost that will give general satis
faction. Thia is probably the course that
will be followed. The ordinance, it is
thought, will be repealed by the Council
sustaining the veto next Wednesday
morning, and the whole situation will be
gone over.
The Mayor's veto message la as fol
lows: I return Ui vou herewith and without my
approval. Ordinance No. 2O.30S. entitled.
An ordinance to regulate the placing and
maintenance of lamp poata and bracken
upportlnir lamps on crtaln atreeta in the
City of Portland; revoking all permits for
the tame heretofore Isaued; Imposing a pen
alty for the violation of thia ordinance and
declaring an emergency." paased by the
Council on November 10. 1SIB. The ordi
nance deaignatea the character of lighting
poata that may be used In certain atreeta
and avenuea In the City of Portland on the
East Side of the Willamette River, and
preventa the uae of any other class of
lighting poata.
' Many Sign Remonat ranee.
Since the passage of this ordinance there
haa been preaented to me a remonstrance
signed by a very large number of busineaa
men and property ownera affected by the
paasage of the proposed ordinance. Theae
partlea protest most aeriouary agalnat the
approval of the ordinance and insist that
it ought not to become effective, and that
the style o' llgr.tlng post preacribed in the
ordinance is not auch a one as will meet
the needs and requirements of the diatrict
Intended tr, be aerved. This remonatrance I
file herewith for your consideration.
I have also submitted this ordinance to
the City Engineer and asked him to advlae
me In respect thereto. Attached hereto la
the reply of the City Engineer. Among
other objections thereto, the City Engineer
deacribed the lighting poata aa followe:
"Thia la the cheapeat kind ef cheap plpa
post without a single redeeming feature. It
Is a post looked upon with disfavor at the
time of arttation for unirorm lighting on
the Weat Side of the river, and thia ordi
nance, to my mind, creates a dumping
ground for this style of post which was
ejected from the West Side of the river."
Competition la Deatroyed
Another and an equally aerloua objection
to the ordinance la the fact that It deatroya
competetion. aa 1 am advised only one
lighting company can uae the character of
post described. In my Judgment it is the
duty of the Council to prov;de uniformity
of Illumination o far aa thia may be done,
and alao to safeguard the IntercaLa of the
property ownera and -busineaa men upon the
atreeta to be provided with lighta. by adopt
ing a system that will enable them to choose
the Illuminate and in this way encourage
competition between the lighting companica,
'thereby producing low rates and .efficient
service
I reapectfully request your honorable body
to re-examine the aubject under considera
tion In the light of the auggestiona herein
made. .
OREGON LED APPLE SHOW
Spokane Apple Show Precursor of
National Annual Kxhibit.
"Not only was the display larger and
better hut more interest was mani
fested In the National Apple Show this
year." aid H. M. Adams, general
freight and passenger agent for tiie
Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway,
who returned yesterday from Spokane.
"Oregon captured several prizes, the
blue ribbon for the best carload of
Spltzcnbergs being - awarded to the
growers of Rogue River Valley. Or
ehardists in the Grand Ronde VAley
had a very creditable exhibit and won
a number of individual prizes. The
producers of the Hood River Valley
were not very largely represented.
There were entries from 13 states and
two Canadian provinces.
Statistics were submitted during
the show indicatingthat at the pres
ent rate of increase in the apple crop
In the Pacific Northwest, the States of
Oregon, Washington and Montana in
another ten years will be producing
lOO.CX) carloads, or 60.000.000 boxes, of
apples annually. With this increased
yield a larger market necessarily must
be provided. I am -satisfied that the
holding of a National Apple Show an
nually will prove a splendid thing In
that it will stimulate Interest In the
apple-growing business to the extent
that the demand for apples will in
crease In proportion as the production
of this fruit expands. Another benefit
will be to assist in maintaining remun
erative prices for the product."
DAMAGEDBY RAIN.
It Is difficult to estimate the losses
brought about by the recent rains in the
Northwest. Some people are meeting
with great losses by "hugging the fire
place" Sunday afternoon because of the
uncertain weather, while others will not
let the weather damage their purpose to
make money by buying a lot In Alameda
Park, before prices advance, which will be
soon. Take Broadway car Sunday.No

Rev. W. Parsons to Occupy
Third Presbyterian Pulpit.
DUTIES HERE BEGIN TODAY
Dot-tor of Divinity, a Briton, but
Reared In United States Passed
Life on Farm Until' 21 Bea
ver ' Falls last Parish.
In Rev. William Parsons, D. D., the
Presbyterians in this city will recog
nize the type of mature, educated, com
manding personality made familiar to
the Presbyterian Church at large by
the advent of such leaders of thought
as Dr. John Hall, once the pastor of
the Fifth-avenue Presbyterian Church,
New York City, and Dr. William John
McCaughan. once pastor of the Third
Presbyterian Church, Chicago, types
not so well known in the Far West.
Charge Taken Today.
Dr. Parsons is the new pastor of the
Third Presbyterian Church, East Thir
teenth and Pine streets, and begins his
duties there today. He. accompanied
by Mrs. Parsons and their two little
daughters, Catherine, aged 8, and Mar
garet, aged 3. arrived here yesterday
from Beaver Falls, Pa., where Dr. Par
sons was pastor of the First Presby
terian Church. He was born at Luton,
near Bedford, England. 42 years ago,
and is tall, well-built and of dignified
presence, but at the-same time Im
presses the listener .with his strong
common sense and geniality. Any one
retary of the National-Reform Assocla
tion. as a member of the Presbyterian
Temperance Committee, and by his
Chautauqua addresses at such great
centers as Winona, Ind., Monmouth, 111,
and Greeley, Colo., where he became
known as a favorite speaker to large
assemblages. Dr. Parsons received his
degree of doctor of divinity from Qe
neva College, Pennsylvania.
On the way West, Dr. Parsons spoke
at more than one important church
meeting, and said it was with the
greatest Interest he had met and 'lis
tened to fellow-travelers on the train,
coming to Oregon. All spoke enthu
giastlcally of the Pacific Coast spirit.
"Tomorrow I begin work in Port
land," said Dr. Parsons. "If I can build
up the Third Presbyterian Church to
what we wish it to be, I shall be glad
to dedicate my life to it." ,

who can't get acquainted with Dr. Par
sons, say in five minutes' time, haa only
himself to blame.
Although born in England, Dr. Par
sons when 3 years old was brought to
this country by his parents, and Uiey
settled on a farm in Wabaunsee County,
Kansas. '
Boyhood Passed on Farm.
"Yes, until I was 21 years old, my
life was largely spent on a farm. Don't
I look as If I had been reared on a
farm?" asked Dr. Parsons, with a mer
ry twinkle in his eyes.
For all that. Dr. Parsons is thorough
ly American, arid there isn't the least
bit of the farmer about him. His fath
er's farm was near Topeka, Kan., and
his earlier education was received at
Faker University. Baldwin, Kan., a
Methodist institution of learning, and
among his classmates were United
States Senator Bristow, Bishop Quayle,
and Congressman Campbell.- Dr. Par
sons was graduated from Baker Uni
versity in 1891. and from McCormick
Theological Seminary, Chicago, 111., in
1894. He has been pastor of Presby
terian churches at Peoria and Sparta,
111., and as already stated, at Beaver
Falls, Pa. The latter church, the First
Presbyterian, has 560 members, and Dr.
Parsons was successful in organizing
a branvh church from the parent fold,
at College Hill, a suburb of Beaver
Falls.
He's Active in C. E. .
For several years Dr. Parsons was
Secretary of the citizenship department
of the Illinois Christian Endeavor
Union, and he has since become well
known by his activity as recording sec-

Dr. J. W. Kramer, pastor, of the First
Baptist Churcb of Spokane, is to be the
speaker before the men's meeting at 3
o'clock this afternoon In the Young Men's
Christian Association building, Sixth and
Taylor streets.
Dr. Kramer comes to Portland with
the reputation of resembling William Jen

quently been mistaken for the Democratic
leader. His resemblance to Mr. Bryan Is
reported to extend to his ability as an
orator as well as his personal appearance.
He has been in Spokane but a short time.
