Independent Promoters to Con
sult with Company on

People.
On Tuesday' a meeting will take place
between ofrtclals of the Portland Con
solidated Railway company and Francis'
X. McKenna and other representatives of
toe proposed Independent electric line to
Untreralty Park, for the purpose of dis
cussing the situation and. If possible,
freeing- upon a line that will be satis
factory to all of the Interests con
cerned. '
The people residing or owning prop
arty between Lower Alblna and St. Johns
have asked, the Consolidated company to
build a line out Maryland avenue to the
corner of Newark and Dana streets In
University Park, then north to Smith's
crossing and there connect with the
present line to St. Johns.
The Consolidated company haa thus
far declined to accept this route.
Just what it la willing to do has not
ye i been fully settled. ' says Jar. McKenna.
"We hope to arrive at some decision
with the company next Tuesday. The
men who are Interested with us In an
Independent proposition favor building
a line that will cross the Bumslde street
bridge, go north through Lewer Alblna
to Russell street, then to Delay street
ltd out via Cook street Incline to Mary
land avenue; north on Maryland avenue
to Portland boulevard, then diagonally
across lots northeast to Willis boule
vard, thence to Portsmouth avenue and
suit on that avenue to the Willamette
river. '
"Wa would throw a high bridge across
the river at that point, and run the line
across to the west side, come back
parallel to the Northern Pacific railway
track, cross Guild's lake and Into the
city at about Twentieth street, and run
through- a very thickly populated dis
trict that now la without street car ser
vice to the business center of the city "
Mr. McKenna says that aome of the
men who are Interacted in the Indepen
dent project are owners of large tracts
of the property In the vicinity of the
rente, and one of them la the owner of
the Guild's lake tract, mo that there
would be little difficulty about securing
the desired rights of way. The Identity
of the financial baokers of the plan Is
not made known, but It la said one of the
principal promoters la a l.oa Angeles
man.

ANOTHER CRASH IN
PIANO PRICES
An opportunity came our way recently to purchase some very fine -E
pianos at an exceptionally low ngure, proviaea wa iook mem an una -ft
at once. We did It. Although we knew the pianos to be strangers In ' 4c
these parts, we were perfectly willing to depend upon their merits to k
recommend them.
We Offer 100 New Model
$350 and $400 Clarenden
Pianos for $258
At $1.50 a Week
It Is the Greatest Piano Value in the World
No piano anywhere near its equal In tone, action, artistic design,
quality of material or workmanship has ever been offered by any other
manufacturer or dealer at anywhere near the price of the Clarenden at
lTt, which la really
y2 Its Real Value!
The Clarenden Pianos Have No Equal
Mayor Williams la of tha opinion that
common laborers in tha employ of tha
city should not come under tha juris
diction of tha civil service commission.
He Is In fsvor of amandins the city
charter so this class of employes will
Biot have to be governed by tha civil
service rules.
In the different departments there la
a divergence of amount of work to be
done at different times. In tha Street
department there are tlmea when many
men are necssary to take oare of the
street cleaning and repairing while at
other tlmea there may be but vary little
to do. .It Is about the soma In tha mu
nicipal water works. One weak they
may need a large force of men while
the next they may have no need for
them. When a man Is discharged for
any reason, whether there Is any work
or not, he thinks he has a grievance
and make complaint before the civil
service commission. Because of all this
there Is trouble.
Mayor Williams Is of the opinion that
it will be much better to give the heads
of the different departments the power
to employ and discbarge men whenever
neceesary without having to consult
the commission.
"By doing this," said he, "much trou
ble could be averted. When a man la
now laid oft for auy reason he haa re
course to tha commission and invaria
bly complains Of had treatment. When
we hire a man wa cannot kaap him con
tinually la the department, for there
mar be no work for him. There are so
many of the positions of a temporary
nature that I am of the opinion that
It would be better to take tha labor
department out of tha hands of tha
commission and allow that body to have
Jurisdiction over the fire, polios, en
gineering and any otbsr departments
where special or expert work la neces
sary." Ma says that ha haa suggested this
change to certain members of the char
ter r,narri anil that In Mil BrobaMlltv thev
will consider It in their recommendations
to the stats legislature.

Captain of Police Moore, command
ing the first relief, was severely criti
cised by Municipal Judge Hogue and
Deputy City Attorney Pltsgerald this
morning for what they termed sn In
excusable blunder In refusing to lock
up 6eorge Keys, a Chinaman arrested
by Policeman Carlson with two white
women.
Moore did not oven take the name of
tha Chinaman, but after a mild lecture
turned him loose. When the case came
up In court, Judge Hogue had to send
Policeman Carlson out to find the
Chinaman, which delayed the matter so
that It was continued until Monday for
trial.
Mary Rice and Jessie Alexander were
the women, and they are charged with
roaming the streets. They have been
frequenting Chinese dens along Second
street, It Is alleged.
Policeman Carlson found them In
compsny with a Chinaman at Seventh
and Oak streets, as he was going to
the police station to report for duty.
At headquarters Captain Moore held
the women, but let the Chinaman go.
Judge Hogue and Mr. Pltsgerald. In dis
cussing the matter, said they presumed
Moore was Ignorant of the law, and
could hardly be blamed for the blunder.
Policeman Carlson went out to locate
tha Chinaman, using an address given
by the Rice woman, but saw his man
peering from a window In a Chinese
store directly across the street from
the central station. The Chinaman was
watching for the women to leave the
police court.
CITY'S ESTIMATES
ARE FAR TOO HIGH
Just Three Times Possible Rev
enue for 1905 and They
Must Be Cut
Mayor Williams has Issued a call for
a meeting to be held next Monday after
noon In the city hall, at which the mem
bers of the city executive board, tha
waya and means committee snd all
others Interested in the finances of the
city for the coming year will come to
gether. The estimates of expenditures
of the different depsrtments In ths city
government will be tsken up and con
sidered. As the estimates amount to
nearly three times the possible revenue,
they will have to be greatly reduced.
At this meeting the proposition sbout
enlarging the police and fire departments
will be considered In detail. Just how
many men Chief Hunt will be given for
next year and how many new engine
companies will be given Chief Campbell
of tha fire department will be determined
by the amounts the respective depsrt
ments will be allowed for expenses dur
ing 101.
Chief Hunt has asked that his force
be Increased by 60 men and Chief Camp
bell haa stated In his estimate that he
has room for six new engine companies
snd one hook and ladder company, be
sides tha Improvement of the lire alarm
system. MSny of the members of the
council favor enlarging the force in- the
tire department In preference to Increas
ing the number of policemen.
