10 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MARCH 0, J9lO. SHIPPERS ASK FOR DEPOT IN PETITION East Side Wholesale Dealers Formulate Request of City Council. WANT STREETS VACATED I Ordinance Comes lp at Meeting f Council . Wednesday Business Men's Club's Opposition De plored by Implement 'Men. As a counter to the activity of that faction of tne Kast Side Business Men's J Club which has been working- against the proposed vacation of certain street needed by the Harriman lines for a ' freight depot on the East Side, pe , tition has been circulated among the ' shippers and business men most ciosely affected by the proposed ordinance, and ' this will be presented to the ' City , Council at its meeting: Wednesday. The ordinance to come up before the : Council provides for the vacation of Cast Pine, East Ash, East Ankeny, East Couch, East. Davis. East. Everett, and i Vag Flanders streets between East i first and East Second streets. As was announced in The Oreijonlan, it is the plan of the railroad company to build i a freight depot on the unit system. ' commencing; at East 'Oak street and i running: north, the plan, so . far as they have been formulated, call for a structure at the "Start '200 feet long-. ; to occupy the west half of the line of blocks extending; north from East Oak street. It is the Intention of the'com ' pany to utilize the east half of this Mine of squares for a roadway and side track. As the business of the East Side grows other units will be added, until a building- some 2000 feet long by 50. feet wide will result. Bridge Plan Separate. Entirely separate from the freight depot scheme is the request of the i-allroad company for the vacation of the intersection of Oregon and Adams streets at the foot of the high bluff where it was desired to build the east ern abutment of the new railroad bridge. In the remonstrance raised, however, no distinction was made be tween the freight depot plan and the bridee plan. Both were opposed. The . railroad . was anxious to be gin work on the new bridge. The plans had been drawn and approved and the money was wait ing for the actual construction to ommence. Therefore it announced that if only the vacation of these two intersecting streets were allowed, it was willing to let the question of the rivers go over indefinitely. A personal :our of inspection had been made by the .- treet committee of the City Council nd it had been explained to the mem bers that without the aid of elevators this part of the streets could be of no use to the city, since the bluff precluded the possibility of a street grade. Agitation in favor of delay prevailed with the Council, however, and this as well as the other vacations is still to be acted upon. Club Split I . Is Humor. It has been hinted that in the ranks of the East Side Business Men's Club, where the agitation against the pro posed freight depot started, there Is dissension. The cry for delay was raised loudeat. by Dan Kellaher, pro , prietor of a retail grocery store, and by Rev. George B. Van Waters, ex-rector of St. David's church. In their wake followed a train of retail dealers in various lines of business. Whole sale men and shippers failed to join the movement. Thomas Hislop, who owns property on the East Side that he believes will be benefited by the erection of a freight Viepot, got active with the petition that is now' ready for presentation to the Council, and secured 41 signers. Of the 41 names signed, 26 represent business 'firms who are large shippers, either as wholesale dealers or manu facturers. All the implement houses in the district are on the petition, and the. implement dealers themselves have expressed themselves as emphatically In favor of a freight depot. John S. Real, of Bcall & Co., machinery, made " vigorous comment on the men who, he said, are obstructing the progress of the East Side. Shippers AVant Frelglit Depot. "t cannot conceive of any shipper over here," he said, "who would not want a freight depot here. In addition to the saving in time, there is a tre mendous Item in the cartage that would be saved in the course of a year. I belong, to the East Side Men's Busl nes Club, but I am sure there are oth ers as well as myself who will deny that It is the sentiment of the united - club that these street vacations be held DAINTY FOOD lurni l'ale Cheeks to 1'iuV. Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food, rather than heavy drugs, and this ia the true method, for all physicians agree that only from food tan the body be rebuilt. Many people' fail to give their phy sicians credit, for after living on poor ly selected or badly-cooked food for a long time, perhaps, and when thelrall-inents-become chronic, they expect the Doctor, with some magic potency, to in stantly rebuild them. This is not possible. The only true v method is to turn as quickly as can be , from poor food to good. A youig lady j. aver in Ohio says: "I was - variously treated for my nerves, muscles, lungs, etc.... but none of the treatments gave me relief. "About a year ago my appetite failed completely and 1 began to have sinking spells similar to fainting, then I took all manner of tonics and stimulants, but they were of no effect. I Jiad been brought to quit drinking coffee and- taking Postum n its place, and gradu ally began to get a little better. ' - "Someone suggested that if I found Postum so beneficial I had better use Jrape-Nuts food, as they were both the children of one brain. I commenced on Urape-Nuts food for breakfast, having Postum with it, I found the food so dainty, delicious and appetizing that 1 always looked forward to breakfast with pleasure. "Shortly after commencing this diet, the wretched pain in my side was greatly relieved, and now, a year later. It has gone entirely, also the sinking spells: in fact, my pale cheeks have changed to pink, I have gained back more than the twenty pounds 1 lost, and am thoroughly well in every way." Read the little book. "The. Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Evvr wnd the above lettert f A aew e appear from time to t 1 trie. They am scenulae, true, aad full of , human la teres. up. I am in favor of getting a suit able return from the railroad in re turn for the privilege of using the city's streets, of course, but I can see no advantage in delaying the matter unduly." H. W. Mitchell, president of Mitchell. I-ewis & Staver, talked along the same lines, emphasizing the saving that would accrue to shippers in the item of cartage and also the shorter time that would be required to get a train broken up after its arrival and the cars dis tributed to the various consignees. lCeliii n .Should Be Made, Is Opinion. "But I should want to see some ade quate return from the railroad for the privilege," he added. "There Is no use in giving away the city's property and thero are several things the city needs from the railroad. XV'e should be pro. tected, I think, in' the matter of over head crossings, -possibly, or perhaps a. right of way over the railroad's prop- BAHITOXK S0Y.OIST HAS VOICE J OF EXCEPTIOSAI, RANGE.

Graham, bari tone, who won praise for his ex cellent vocalism. His -voice, of the , bass-baritone quality, is of exceptional range, and he is con sidered to have a promising mu sical future. Sir. Graham's selec tion was Edward Elgar's "The Pipes of Pan," and it wasf ren dered with commendable finish and expression. Ho is a pains taking musical student, capable of doing good work. erty for an approach to the Broadway bridge." Wednesday, when the date for con sidering the ordinance granting the vacation of these streets is set by the Council, the petition of the shippers and wholesale men will be presented. It Is the sentiment or the signers, it is said, that the vacations should be al lowed in return for certain concessions by the railroad company, to be de termined at a meeting of representa tives of the railroad and the street committee of the Council. The petition and the signers follow: Petition and lis Signers. To ihe Honorable Council of the Citv of Portland: We, the undersigned, busi ness men and 'inns and propertv-own-ers of East Portland affected by arid concerned in the proposed vacation of East Pine,. East Ash, East Ankenv, East Couch. East Davis.

The creation of ffieight facilities on the East Side by the railroad people Is in pursuance of request made on them by the business men about a year ago. John Deere Plow Company, by C. R.

SHIPMENTS ARE, REFUSED IjH Forbids Transportation of Va rieties of Fish That at This Time f Year Migrate From Salt Water to Fresh Streams. An order issued yesterday by Fish Warden McAllister put a sudden stop j to the sale of smelt In the markets of this' city. By the ruling of the Fish Warden. It is unlawful to transport gr market the varieties of fish that at this time are migrating from salt water to spawn ing grounds In fresh water. These in clude not only smelt, but salmon, sal mon trout, shad and sturgeon. The transportation companies at once is sued instructions to their agents not to accept shipments of these fish and the wholesale and retail dealers ceased to sell .them. ""As far as the other varieties of fish were concerned the order did not make a great deal of difference with the dealers, as the supplies were not large, but with smelt it was different. The smelt season is now on in full blast, and most of the retail markets were well stocked with them. The market that was hardest hit was that of Frank D.' Smith, on Alder street. Smith found himself with" K0 boxes of smelt on his hands when the 'order of the Fish . Warden reached him. He did not want to see the fine fish spoil, -so he adopted the next best plan -and began giving them away. Every customer in his store was In vited to help himself and big signs notified passers by that Columbia River smelt could be had for the asking. In this way he disposed of his smelt. PARK STREET LOTS SOLD Lfc. S. Merrill Makes Profit of $19,000 In 18 Months. M. VV.

True, we have some fashionable, moralities but not even those who practice them Would seriously'defend the point of view which makes them matters of fashion.

Prince Rupert Shows Wonderful Growth and Line Plans Swiff Extensions. VANCOUVER. B. C. March 5. (Special.) A general and carefuUsuin ming up of the progress in construc tion work being made by the Grand Trunk Pacific line to and beyond Prince Rupert reveals a few interesting records from a railroad and clty-bulld-ing standpoint. An unsettled district In January. 1909. townslte lots were placed on sale In May of that yeaT and now Prince Rupert has become a veritable city and Is being admittedly populated at the rate of 1,000 persons a month. It boasts two newspapers, a theater, -excellent . residences. a multitude of stores, and Is overflowing and con gesting its wharves with- newly-developed trade facilities. G. T. Bell, assistant passenger traffic manager of the G. T. P.. admits that extensions will be imperative soon in addition to the concrete dock to be built by the British Columbia govern ment. Prince Rupert Is being boomed now as the center for a new and Immense area of rich t rult-bearlng ground and the gateway for the shortest route be tween Alaska and the halibut and salmon fisheries of the Coast. During this coining Summer or Fall It is def initely Dromised by the Grand Trunk pacific that trains for settlers will be operatea to one ui uic new huh mo trlcts about 100 miles east of Prince Rupert. Here it Is considered probable that British Columbia will establish a series of demonstration farms. Prince Rupert is now a town of over 4,000 inhabitants and tT rtin of build ing operations of all sorts goes on night and day. Among the new in dustries of the past five months Is a new whaling company. The boom in trade with Stewart. In the Portland Canal district, and the Queen Charlotte Islands In general, has Inspired the workers of the town with the zeal of the1 Alaskan during the short Summer months. Since the Grand Trunk's national transcontinental railway began work lias been rushed along every section of the road from Moncton to Winnipeg and an army of about 17.000 men has been busy for one tontlnuouir year. Over 700 miles of track have been com pleted and the grading has been done for 400 more, leaving only 8U0 miles of the total distance of 1.805 miles still to be graded. District "P," from Winnipeg to Su perior Junction, was first completed, and already trains of wheat have been hauled from Winnipeg to Fort William. The expenditure of the railway thus far has been about $20,000,000. and this year it Is estimated $2.5,000.000 will be. spent. The total outlay of the com pany since construction work began is now $70,000,000. At this rate ythe end of 1911 will see the last steel lit the en- f tire line in position.

ROSE SHOWER IS PLAN Blooms Will IJ IHsti-Hmtcd From Cars During Festival. There will be a "shower of roses" on the streets of Portland at the next Rose Feslival such as the people here have never before seen. This is the plan of the Peninsula Rose Associa tion. It was partly Carried out last year, but this year the distribution of roses will be much more elaborate. The association aiso will conduct a rose booth at the Union depot from which roses will be given to every visitor. A committee, headed by J. II. Nolta, held a conference with the officers of the Rose Festival Association yester day, when it was agreed that the Pen insula organization should have charge of these two features. Mr. Nolta says that fully 23,000 choice rose bushes were set out about the homes on the Peninsula in 1909 and-these will be ready to drav from. In addition to the old supply. The club's plan means that a train of elec-v trie cars will run through the main streets of Portland, on both sides of the river, distributing roses from the Peninsula.

Fifth and Stark offspring of fathers who arc men of 40. generals being regarded" In the l'gbt, not necessarily so much of fight ers, as of great organizers and men of intellectual capacity. Brave and daring deeds are found to be done for the most part by sons whose fathers not so much the moth ers are youthful. The children of very young parent are generally egotistic and selfish and not very deep thinkers. The explanation of the lost of these theories is alleged to be, said Dr. Reinhardt, the age of tho father. On tlie general question of longevity. Dr. Reinhardt quoted th3 words of Confucius: "Until a man Is 30 he i. like the ivy or the vine, with no In herent strength; at 40 he is a br.re tree; at r,o he puts forth leaves: at 70 fruit." Professor Osier's theory that a man's best work Is done before he is 40 ami that -at 60 he should retire Is com pletely refuted. Transom Thief Ordered Out.
