THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, ID, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, 1908. STREET COMMITTEES TO SUGGEST CHANGE IH CITY CHARTER Would Make It Possible for Streets to Be Improved by Districts Instead of by Single Streets, as at the Preeent Time. ORGANIZE BUREAU THE STORE NOTED FOR BEST GOODS AT LOWEST PRICES Wonderful Values in-New Fall ' OF INSPECTION Uemlxri of the I treat commlttMi of the council and the executive board are expected to get together In a ahort tlm and formulate plana for a change In the oily oharter by which atreet lmprove menta mar be made by dletrluta inataad Of by single atreeta as at present. The Multnomah delegation 4n the leg islature will be appealed to, and the dealre of the official for an Improve ment In the charter laid before the legislature. It la declared that the method planned will result lh tower bids on Improve ments. Property-owners who pay a high price for the pavement on their atreet will then not be forced to watch all traffic In the neighborhood diverted to their atreet. When this la dona a newly-paved thoroughfare la cut to pieces In a surprisingly ahort time. Constant traffic, particularly before the pave ment has become thoroughly hardened, will wear out the best pavement made. It la also urged that one reason for lower bids by contractora on district Improvements la the disposal of the dirt cut loose by grading. Would stake rule Ohaegss. If the game contractor la to Improve three, four or more adjacent streets at the same tint It often happens that one street must be filled to bring It up to city grade while on another an exca vation must be made? With the district Improvement plan in operation the con tractor would haul the dirt from one street to the other with little loss of time. If he has the contract for only one street ho must often buy earth for a fill wherever he can. Practically the same plan as that which has been discussed by the Port land officials has been In operation In Seattle for several years. There It has given general satisfaction, and the race that the visitor to that slty may ride over a whole neighborhood, every atreet of which is paved, has been one of the best advertisements Of the Puget sound town. Mayor rmvors the Mask "I think the plan an excellent one," said Mayor Lane yesterday. City Engineer Taylor Is strongly In favor of improvements by districts. "I fool sure It would mean lower bids," said he. "Before It was decided what should be the extent of the district and the character of the Improvement the property-owners could be consulted, and remonstrances against the Improvement could be heard before the ordinance was passed. There should also be some pro vision for more prompt payment ' to contractors. Here a contractor Is de layed in getting hi money very often, and bo .ncludss all that In his bid." R. L. Babln, a. member of the street eommlttee of the executive board, has studied the subject, and will advocate Improvement by districts. "As to the payments to the contractor, I think por tions of the work should be accepted as soon as they are finished and that the contractor should bo paid for those finished portions," said he last evening.

The Paolflo Lumber Manufacturers' association held Its October session hare today. It was expected thai an Important report would bo made by a committee, the chairman of whloh la C P. White of Seattle, upon tho oar shortage. This committee was appointed several months ago and was Instructed to collect data and bring suit against tho railroads . for damages re sulting from their failure to supply tho mills with cars. M-. White was not present and tho repot will not bo mads until tho next mooting. A number of tho members of tho association dis cussed the ear situation, reporting that tho shortage was much worse than It was a month ago and that tho hope of getting ears in tho future Is very slim. Tho cargo branch of the association held a meeting this morning and adopted tho report of a committee on the' matter of organising a bureau of Inspection. The bureau will bo incor porated Monday under the name of the Paolflo Coast Lumber Inspection bu reau. Tho Incorporators are: B. O. Griggs of Taooma, president of the Manufac turers' association; K. O. Amos of Port Gamble; Charles E. Hill of Tacoma and Richard H. Alexander of Vancouver. British Columbia. Tho organization Is for the purpoae of enforcing uniform rules of inspection for all tho cargo mills of Oregon, Wash ington and British Columbia. Inspec tors will bo stationed at all of tho cargo mills to Inspect the lumber shipped, the mills contracting with the Inspection bureau to furnish the Inspectors. It was tho concensus of opinion among the members of the Lumber Manufacturers' association this after noon that this section of the country Is being seriously dtsorlmlnsted against by the railroads In their failure to pro vide care.

N In his address, which he delivered In practically tba same form as at all of the meetings, Mr. Hearst urged tho voters In the hour of victory to stand by tho oause against the efforts already under way to repeat the - theft of lent year. Amid great outbursts of ap plause he declared: We can win and we will win If- we have confidence In ourselvea and con fidence In the oause In which Wo are en gaged." AFRICAN NATIVES STILL UNBURIED BY COMRADES but It Is understood that ha has been Instructed to send telegraphic dispatches of progress so that the matter may bo adjusted before tho president gets off to sea on the Louisiana.

Kvery facility will be put at his command to make his investigations as thorough as possible under the circumstances, aa tho president Is anxious to have the Inquiry conducted with expedition in order to have the results at hand with out delay. It Is hoped by tho adminis tration officials that the expressed de sire of the administration to secure the treaty rights of Japanese will tend to allay the anti-American feeling in Japan until the whole matter la diplomatically adjusted. During the , Investigations Secretary Metcalf will communicate with Governor Pardee of California, the mayor Of San Francisco, and If necessary the authori ties of school boards who have direct charge of the schools from which the Japanese pupils have been turned away. He will also consult the Japanese con sular offices In San Francisco Tho In quiries will bo Instituted In San Fran cisco Thursday to compel tho authori ties to receive Japanese pupils In tho public schools.

Since the San Francisco episode cre ated friction between the Japanese and Americans, Englishmen see dearly tho diplomatic blunder of the present Anglo-Japanese alliance because it will compel England to side with Japan In the tatter's dispute with America.

As the matter is viewed In London, the real erux Is the danger of giving new force to the cry of "Asia far the Asiatics." This has boon ringing through Asia since the Russo-Japanese war has revealed to oriental races the advantages of occidental military or ganisation and tactics on land and sea Already the India offleo feels the pressure of a missionary campaign being conduoted in India by Japanese, who proclaim tbe doctrine that the hope of Asia Use In the expulsion of the white races.
