De claring Vancouver Sawmilla Can - Now Enter Portland Business Field "and Cause Redaction in Price.' - But BUde Bepaj-tmsat, ' After a fight of several run, Van couver haa flnallr succeeded In getting a substantial reduction In the fare be tween Portland and the city across the Columbia. The east side rejoices In the chant, for with the reduction In fares cornea a reduction In v ferry charges, which, enabling; the Vancouver mills to compete with Portland con cerns, may result In a cheapening- of the price of lumber. -ft '-!-ont war win. be it cents, with Si cents for the round trip.- The commissioners' court at Van couver held the club that finally brought about the reduction. The li cense to operate the ferry ' across the Columbia river was about to expire ana the court refused to renew the license unless a substantial reduction was made in ferriage across the river and . . car fare to Portland. .. The court demanded a-lt-cent-rate, . with St cents for the round trip, but this the company refused to grant. Ft ; nally a compromise- was made op. the . above-named - rates. The court, how ever, limited the time the license Is to run to January 1, 107, . announcing ' that a further reduction would be ex pected at that time. Residents of Van couver, assisted by Portland . mer chants, .have waged a campaign for ' several years past to secure thla reduc tion. The business men of Vancouver have always atrenuoualy fought It, . claiming that it would seriously " Inte ,.fre with their boaineaa by encouraging shoppers from that city to do their ' buying In Portland. The merchants of i thla city evidently had the same Idea, as they have given every encourage A merit to the reduction of fares. ' t This reduced fare will amount to ' i quite aa Item to a large number of la boring men who live on the east side i and go dally to their labor In Vancouver. .', jThe two earliest morning cars are , usually crowded with mechanics that , tlnA itmnlnTmanf fit th uvmllli .n4 ) railroad yards of Vancouver. It is esti mated that 25 i-men.' residents of the Veaat side, make this daily trip. I The company also announces a sub stantial reduction tn the price of books 'of tickets, both for ' Individual and family use. An Individual book of -.LrJ4esJa.JUwoJliorJL or cents the i round trip. A family book" of Xti same ' else Is sold for $7.6, or SO cents a ' round trip. t " .!.'' 1 The new ratea to be charged for far- rylng teams across the Columbia river will be of material benefit to Portland ' )obbers and wholesale , houses. The irate for a atx-horae team 'Is now (0 : cents; four-horse team, 4t cents; two I horse team, St cents; horse and rider, . 10 cents: foot passenger, t cents. The i rate heretofore charged was a heavy ' tax on Portland wholesale houses de ' llverlng goods by team to their Van couver customers. The single dlsadvan , tz to Portland in the new ferry rates ! the fact that Vancouver aawmllla ji now compete with Portland mllla ! In supplying lumber for building pur poses to the Immense east side territory, i which, it is said, consumes not . less ' than tares fourths of the lumber used i In Portland. Prospective builders on i the east side view this situation with ; satisfaction, as it la thought the effect of Vancouver mills tnvadlne that mary hei will result la cheaper lumber. .

This kicker asks the question, -"What does Mr. Hall rep resent - on Kaat Ankeny streetr and then answers, ' The Second- Baptist church,', and ' his answer is , correct. That church owns 10 feet of property fronting: on that street,. which' I venture to say is Just 100 feet more than this kicker owna or represents ' r"Many of the reaidenta on East An keny are indignant at the misrepre sentation that baa been made in this paving matter. - The Individual who cir culated the petition requesting the 'Im provement represented to the property holders that the coat of putting down a hard pavement in front of a (0-foot lot would not exceed" II IS, and might go as low as $7t. Now the fact is that ths lowest cost of such an Improvement as is asked will be not lesa than $100 per lot and-will mere likely be IZtO. aa the history of similar street Improve ments put down in this city will prove.
