OREGON CITY CITIZEN'S ARGUE
PROPOSED LOCATIONS.
Willamette Site Vndeeided, Though
Iiont( Issue Provides for Struc
ture Replacing Present Span.
OREGON CITT, Or., March 6. (Spe
cial.) The question of changing the
location of the highway bridge across
he Willamette river connecting Ore
gon City and west L.inn was tne
cause or a rather neated argument at
the commercial cluo parlors Friday
night at a conference called by the
officers of the club. The plaintiffs
in the injunction suit that has been
instituted to restrain the county court
from proceeding with its programme
for the construction of a new bridge
at Seventh street were invited to be
present. William M. Stone, their at
torney, explained that it was not the
purpose of his clients to prevent the
construction of a new bridge.
C. Schuebel. chairman of the bridge
committee of the club, insisted that
the money had been set aside in the
bond issue for a bridge at Seventh
street and that it could not be erected
elsewhere. J. W. Moffatt said the
present bridge is unsafe and might
properly be closed, and Judge Ander
son said the location of the bridge
was determined by the vote at the
bond election when the money was
appropriated.
Postmaster Cooke deplored the con
tinual strife between two ends of the
city and declared that sectional jeal
ousy was holding back the natural
development of the town.
"Oregon City is cutting off its own
nose," said County
Commissioner j
Harris, who took a lively part in the
discussion, along with O. D. Eby, F. C.

ORDINANCE MODIFICATION IS
ASKED BY REALTY BOARD.
Voters' Opinion Sought and Broad
ening of Scope of Districts Held
Important in Recommendation.
Reference or the proposed zoning
ordinance to the voters, notification
of classification to be sent to every
property owner before adoption of the
ordinance by the city council, and nu
merous modifications tn classification
are among the recommendations made
to the city planning commissioner by
the Portland Realty board. Copies
of the recommendations have been
received by members of the pity coun
cil. The recommendations seek amend
ment of the proposed ordinance so as
to broaden the zoning districts so that
all residential districts shall be placed
in class II, subject, to the existing
restrictions running contingent with i
t 1
the title and the following limitation:
Provided, that any portion of an ad
dition or subdivision of the city so
placed in class II upon petition of 25
per . cent of the owners of the prop
erty in such an addition or subdi
vision, and after due written notice to
all property owners affected and af
ter a public hearing, may be placed
at the option of the city commission
ers in a restricted residential classi
fication such as class I.
The Realty board suggests that the
provisions of the present zoning plan
concerning business centers in outly
ing districts should be eliminated and
all existing business and potential
business properties in the city be
placed in classes III or V instead of
classes I or II.
The planning commissioner is re
quested to give careful consideration
to the t. industrial classification, so
that all 'potential industrial property
be placed in the proper classes. It
is claimed that under the proposed
ordinance much property located
along railway rights of way are clas
sified for residential purposes only.

Albina Drygoods Store.
A fire which did slight damage to
the interior of the drygoods store of

about 6:15 Wednesday evening, will
be given an investigation by the
grand jury to determine if arson was
the cause, according to announce
ment made yesterday by Captain Rob
erts for the fire marshal's office.
The members of the grand jury
were taken out for a view of the
premises Friday, and it is probable
that the matter will come up for con
sideration before that body Monday.
The fire marshal's office was un
able to find a cause for the fire,
which smarted about 45 minutes after
the store was said to have been closed
for the day.
The fire marshal's office announced
that Mr. Blackman's stock and fix
tures were heavily insured, the stock
of the place being insured for a total
of 17000 and the fixtures for $1000.

the store at $1500 and the fixtures at
probably $150, it was announced yes
terday, i
Captain Roberts said last night that
the insurance agents who had written
the insurance on the Blackman place
would also be investigated on charges
of having over insured the place.
INSURANCE RATE OPPOSED
Change Made by Bureau Far From
Satisfactory lo Bend.
.BEND. Or., March 6. (Special.)
New life insurance rates for Bend, the
result of a survey made by the Ore
gon rating bureau several weeks
ago, are far from satisfactory, Mayor
Kastes declared today, following re
ceipt of a copy of the bureau's re
port. The fire zone Is extended so as to
include practically the entire city, but
the basic rate on residences remains
unchanged in spite of added protec
tion given by the installation of up-
to-date fire fighting equipment and
the training of a crack volunteer de
partment. Within the business district a cut
of 22 to 33 cents per $100 is made.
Mayor Eastes will take the matter up
immediately with the rating bureau
and demand a further downward re
vision. HEPPNER BUILDERS BUSY

ensilage this

if they will prove more satisfactory
than corn. S. V. Smith, county agri

that the sunflowers yield a large
amount of good ensilage at small
cost.

BEND, Or., March 6. (Special.)
Following a joint meeting held last
night by master barbers and journey
men of Bend, it was announced today

Jones and Representatives Home.
Moore and Hughes, with regard to the
proposed establishment of a cottage
l'arm for housing the- younger boys
convicted of crime and committed to
the state training school probably
will get under way within the next
lew weeks, according to information
received at the capital.
The investigation was authorized
through a joint senate resolution ap
proved at the special session of the
legislature last January. The com
mittee, two of whom were named by
1'resident Vinton of the senate and
three bv Speaker Jones of the house,
are instructed under the provisions
of the resolution to complete their
inquiry in time to report at the next
regular session of the lawmakers.
L. M. Gilbert, superintendent of the
state training school, located in Sa
lem, believes that the cottage farm
proposal should be adopted, and he
was instrumental in having the reso
lution drafted and presented to the
legislature for approval. The pres
ent training scnooi. nintu
eommodations for less than in
mates, is now crowded, according to
Mr. Gilbert, and segregation ot tne
younger from tne oiurr .'
possible.
Mr. Gilbert has had the cottage
plan idea under consideration for a
long time and is emphatic in the as
sertion that the reformation of the
youth will be found in segregation.
At the present time the boys are all
committed to one institution, he al-j
