A. A. Morse, of .'.34 Weidler street, to
Sirs. Nina T-arowe regarding the height
of streetcar steps and relative to the
tight the women of Portland have
started to compel the Portland Rail
way, Light &. Power Company to lower
them. In andther batch of letters re
ceived by City Auditor Barbur yester
day several well-known women voice
their protests and urge a continuation
of tho battle until victory is won.
These, letters will form the bulk of
the complaints to be considered by
Mayor Simon's .special Council com
mittee on streetcar grievances, which
is scheduled to meet at 2 o'clock Tues
day afternoon. One week from Tues
.day at 4 P. M. there will be a prac
tical demonstration on the steps of
cars furnished by the company at the
Savier-street barns. when every
woman in Portland is invited to be
present and assist in selecting1 the
proper step for local use. There will
be high and low steps, and the women
w ill be asked to -mount both kinds,
and make known their wishes regard
ing the subject.
I-etters to lrs. l.arowo.
The letters received from women are
as follows; all being addressed to Mrs.
Larowe: rn
Noticing in The Orpgonian this
morning the number of letters vou have
received regarding the streetcar steps,
reminds me that I haven't written mine
yet. I suppose there isn't a woman in
Portland or man either. excepting,
possibly, the tall sandwich man who
doesn't tind the high steps a great
nuisunce. but we are oil so busv with
more personal affairs that we make but
little effort to improve things, unless
, leader comes along, as you have
,;lone.
The first installment of pav-as-you-enter
cars was equipped with a low
slep, and it whs remarked then that it
was one good thing about the new cars,
so some of these residents who are
satisfied to have their home town "no
worse off", than other cities, may be
making comparisons with those first
chts. But the new cars coming have
this high step, and with conductors
tucked in their little stalls, where they
oan give no help to women with babies,
small children or older people, it is
strange that the husbands and fathers
have not made an earlier protest against
this Injurious, unnecessary and ridicu
lous situation. May Kelly. 741 Johnson
fit reet.
I would like to add my protest to the
many you have doubtless received
ngalnst the inconvenient, and uncom
fortable high steps of the streetcars.
They would be dreadful, even if we did
"wear trousers," as some would-be
funny man proposes. Do keep on with
jour good work. Mrs. A. A'. Morse. 334
W'eidler street.
Action Heartily Indorsed.
T have noticed your efforts to secure
some action, compelling the streetcar
company to lower the steps of their
cars. 1 want to say that I heartily in
dorse this action on your part. It is
t-crtHinly not only an inconvenience, but
a. great injustice to compel the women
of Portland to climb as thev have to
in order to gain access to nearly all of
our streetcars. I am a somewhat heavy
person, and with one'hand occupied in
carrying the usual belongings that a
woman has with her, I lind in many in
stances I am compelled to almost lift
my eniire weight to the first step by
-means of my disengaged hand and arm.
J certnlnly wish you success in your
campaign against the company in this
natter. Mrs. J. C. Bertler. 1067 East
"Morrison street.
IMiyslctun Gives Opinion.
For the matter of high streetcar steps, I
m much interested to see what vour
society w ill make out of the agitation.
It lias long been a cause of complaint
among my patients, the difficulty thev
had mounting the steps of the 'street
cars. Not only for small women, who
Kle carrying bundles or a. child, is it
almost impossible to step up, but, there
are women who are delicate and ailing
in various ways and from various
causes, to whom the high step is really
a menace. The streetcar patronage is
fully half women, nnd it seems reason
able that some reuard should be paid to
their comfort and convenience, as well
as to their needs. 1r. Emma J. Weltv
SJl Montgomery street.
1 have read the letter in The Ore
gonian from yourself and others with
pleasure. A reform is needed, not only
in tho car steps, but in having our
money ready ami in moving up in the
cars. I am glad you have taken up the
matter and wish you all success .Mrs
A. E. Butterfleld. Slo Kearney street.

GOVERNORS TO ACT
Hay and Benson .to Confer on
Legislative Matters.
HOLD CONFERENCE MARCH
Movement or Proposed Meeting of
Oregon and Washington Execu
tives Arose- in Latter State's
Legislature Joint Interests.
Governor Benson, of Oregon, and
Governor Hay, of Washington, have
arranged a conference, which will be
held in the Hotel Portland March 9,
for the purpose of discussing matters
of legislation in which' the two states
are jointly interested.
At the' conference it is probable that
there will also be present Master Fish
Wardeiv McAllister, of Oregon; Fish
Commissioner Riseland, of Washing
ton; F". L. Stewart. State Senator, from
Cowlitz County, Washington, and pos
sibly others.
Hay Brings About Conference.
The conference has been brought
about through the initiative of Gov
ernor Hay, who proposed it several
months ago. The movement really
dates back to the last session of the
Washington Legislature, when, through
the instrumentality of Senator Stew
art and J. R. Burke, representative
from Wahkiakum County, and. other
members from the Columbia River
counties, a resolution was adopted
providing for the appointment of a
treaty, commission to settle the
boundary controversy between the
two states, establish uniform fishing
regulations and such other matters
as afreet the interests of both com
monwealths. While this resolution was adopted
In Washington, it did not reacli the
Oregon Legislature before the adjourn
ment of the regular session. It was
brought up in the special session of
the Oregon Legislature, however, and
Senator Stewart went to Salem in per
son to urge its adoption. The leaders
in that body, however, had agreed
that no new matters of business
should be taken up and the resolution
failed to carry.
Boundary Decision Contention.
The Washington authorities have
never been satisfied with the boundary
decision of the United States Supreme
Court, and on that side of the river
it is contended that the scope of the
decision does not affect all the bound
ary that is in dispute. It is asserted
that all points in controversy could
be settled by treaty which would be
binding on the two states after rati
fication by Congress.
It is not certain, however, that Gov
ernor Hay and other Washington
officials are wholly wedded to the
treaty idea, but it is practically -certain
that it will be discussed at.the
conference in Portland.
It is. possible that the two Governors
after Uscussing all phRses of the sit
uation, will agree upon uniform rec
ommendations to be made to the re
spective Legislatures next year af
fecting Columbia River legislation.
FIRST WILL BE LIGHTED
Cluster Lamps Will Be Installed in
South Portland.
The efforts of the South Portland
Boosters- club to Install cluster lights
on First street, from Madison street
to Marquam Gulch, have met with great
success and the prospects are that the
lights will be placed within a few
weeks. -
The committee appointed to canvass
the property holders along the street
began work' last Monday and already
has secured 50 per cent of the names.
A few of the residents on the street
are skeptical as to the adivsability of
using gas lights, but it is thought that
practically every property holder in
terested will be converted to the Idea
within the next week. The Mayor and
City Council have sanctioned the plan.
The proposal is to place lights along
the 14 blocks exactly as they are on
Washington street six cluster lights
in each block. It is thought the acqui
sition of these lights will greatly en
hance the value of property along the
street and will make the whole dis
trict much more attractive.
The plan to place public baths In
Marquam Gulch is being carried for
ward rapidly. Besides the baths. It is
also planned to form a park along the
east side of Front street and also to
construct a sunken garden in the gulch.

When It Comes Alone Don't Let It Get
Away From Von.
"I really feel that it is hardly possible
to say too much in favor of Grape-Nuts
as a' health food," writes a Chicago
woman.
"For 9 or 10 years I had suffered from
indigestion and chronic constipation,
caused by the continued use of coffee
and rich, heavy, greasy foods. .My ail
ments made my life so wretched that I
was eager to try anything that held out
a promise of help. And that is how I
happened to buy a. package of Grape
Nuts foodr last Spring.
"That ended my experiments. For in
Grape-Nuts I found exactly what I
wanted and needed. From the day I
began to use it I noticed an improve
ment and in a very few weeks I found
my health completely restored.
"My digestive apparatus now works
perfectly and my chronic constipation
has been entirely relieved. I have
gained in weight materially, and life is
a very pleasant thing to me so long as
I use Grape-Nuts once or twice & day.
I have iound by experiment that if I
leave it off for a few days my halth
suffers.
"A physician in our town has great
surcess in treating stomach troubles,
and the secret'of it is that he puts his
patients on Grape-Nuts food it always
brings back the power of digestion."
