Phone East 2604.
Two suits for damages arising from a
collision Utween a streetcar and a
wagon of the Crane Bottling company
ware filed In the state circuit court yes
terday afternoon against the Portland
Railway company. The accident Is al
leged to have occurred August 29 of
thla yegr at Eaat Fourteenth and Al
berta streets. The bottling company
haa aued for $40$ damages sustained by
the team and wagon, and George L.
Smith, who drove the team, wants IS, 000
damages for personal Injuries.
It la alleged that the etreet railway
company waa negligent because the
space between the rails of the track waa
not filled, and also because the car was
operated in a reckless manner. The
wagon became lodged on the track be
cause of the vacant space between the
rails, and waa struck by a car. Smith,
who Is IT years of age. states that hla
right leg and ankle and back were seri
ously Injured and that they will prob
ably result In permanent disability. The
bottling company states that Its wagon i
was wrecked, one of the horses so badly
frightened by the accident that It- Is -not
safe to drive on the streets, and the
other so badly injured that It is worth
$60 less than It was. The total damage
to the team and wagon la placed at I40S.
Attorney W. R. McQarry and A. K.
Clark represent both the plaintiffs.
Today's services at the Church of Hie
Good Shepherd, on the east side, at the
"comer of Sell wood street and Van
couver avenue, promise to mark a red
letter event In Its history. The new
bishop of Oregon. Dr. Scadding, will
preach at the evening service, thla being
hla first visit to this church, which In
Itself, will be sufficient to call forth a
large attendance. But In addition to
the Interest which Dr. Scaddlng's at
tendance will create, tha church will
use, for the first time. Its new and
splendid Vocation Organ, which has Just
been Installed for them by the Ellers
Piano House, which will add much to
the interest In the occasion.
The growth of this church haa bean
very gratifying. The present bul'dlng
waa erected in 1894. The rector now
in charge. Rev. John Dawson, has been
with the church for about three years,
coming from Roseburg. Through hla
earnest efforts and enthusiasm, the
membership has been doubled, and tha
veatry Is ' practically out of debt. In
addition to thla splendid work, a fund
has been started for a new church
building, the vestry aiming to raise
126,000 In order to put up a structure
worthy of the growing community on
the eaat side.
The purchase of the new Vocallon Or
gan, to be dedicated today, was decided
upon, as an addition to the usefulness
of the church which was well war
ranted. ' A great deal of care was given
to the matter of selection, a number
of makes being critically considered be
fore the final choice was made, but the
Vocallon seemed ao much auperlor In
every respect that there was practically
a unanimous choice In Ita favor from
the first. It places tha very finest
mualc within their reach and renders
possible the same rich efforts that are
shared by churches with far mora costly
but ordinary pipe organs.
The direction of the churoh music, in
cluding the choir, has recently been
placed in the hands of Mrs. R. Mead,
which, together with the acquisition of
the new Vocallon Organ, is a sufficient
guarantee that the musical part of the
lmpreasive Episcopal church service will
now be such aa to deepen the spiritual
ity of the worshipers and add much to
the interest in the church work.
The Women's Guild, under tha presi
dency of Mrs. W. a Hayes, Is in
splendid condition and doing good work.
The Sewing School, under tha direction
of Mrs. Dawson, wife of tha rector,
meeta Saturday mornings, and has
proven very popular. Gtrla of all
classes are taught tha useful art of
needlework In a practical and thorough
manner.
Unlimited credit Is due tha 'vestry for
their splendid work In the building up
of the church and for the care and in
ter eat given by them to the many ex
acting duties dependent upon them.
Both the Sunday School and Chancel
Guild are also in a flourishing condition.

EXTRA SPECIAL AT
believed by railroad men that, no sooner
will the Front street line be completed
and operated, than Its advantages to
traffic on Front street will become so
patent to property owners and mer
chants there that there will be an over
whelming demand for a modification of
the terms of the franchise, to enable
the company to deljfcer carloads of com
mission products day or night, when
ever needed.
Question of Liability.
Tha statement that there is no legal
liability upan the bondsmen who signed
the United Railways company bond to
complete the city and Salem Unas of
tha United Railways company by
certain dates, will not have any ma
terial effect upon the situation. Tha
lines will be built regardless of bonds
or time limits. It is said tha city
council in requiring the company to
bond Itself to construct and operate a
railroad outalde of tha olty limits of
Portland, exceeded Its constitutional
powers, and Invalidated the bond, but
that the company thereby loses none of
Its rights under tha ordinance.
Many people do not lose sight of the
fact that electrio Unas built to connect
thla city with rich surrounding country
are doing a valuable service to the city
of Portland. Business men see the
great advantage of quick transporta
tion that will enable people within a
radius of to 60 miles of Portland to
run Into thla city and transact business.
The knocker is aimply helping the ex
lstlng transportation monopoly to re
tain and strengthen Its present dom
inant position. The booster, on the
other hand, can help to encourage In
dependent capital, effort and develop
ment.
The benefits to Portland property are
also apparent. By opening up new
residence sections to the wast, south
and north, these lines relieve congea-

night between southern Portland termi

on a vagrancy charge and the others

All of the men stoutly denied being
addicted to the uae of opium and ware
aggrieved over having been taken Into

cards of the drug in his trousers,
where they ware found when they were
