Stingy Policy of Operating
Department Responsible
for Irritating Service.
Councilman H. W. Wallace, who has
Juat returned from a Pujet sound trip,
brings news of the Victoria, Drltish Co
lumbia, garbage crematory which will
be of considerable interest to Portland
people, inasmuch as the local garbage
problem la becoming more acute each
day with the present Inadequate method
of consumption.
An Kngllsh company, Mr. Wallace
says. Is erecting a SO-ton plant In Vic
toria, which is said to be one of the beat
examples of modern garbage incinera
tion. The plant when fully completed
will cost In the neighborhood of $36,600
ana me city is given tne benefit or a
60-oay trial run nt a coat of only 4B
cents a ton for the burning of all gar
bage. It Is estimated that the cost of
operating me crematory by the city will
be little If any greater per ton than by
uiv cumptn in mm trial run.
Victoria haa purchased hundreds of

Fubllo ZS Satisfied.
Councilman Gray says he heard of
no protests from Victoria's 26.000 nennU
upon locating tne garDage crematorium
within five blocks of the city hall.
TLere is absolutely no evidence of oil nr
in me Burning or the garbage and the
amell from the closely lidded nrban
cans gives no offense.
Mr. Wallace aaya that he had an ex
tended discussion of crematlna- methods
with the English engineer in charge and
the latter will visit Portland soon to
look the situation over.
From remarks made by a number of 1
councllmen In the laat few days it Is
very likely that the matter will be
brought u D for consideration at the
meeting Wednesday afternoon. Many of
mem think tnat .Portland needs a loq
ton garbage incinerator and figuring
on the coat baals of the Victoria plant
with the added impost. It Is believed
aiich a plant can ba erected hers for
70,00: ; t
'its for Crematory Zs Omx.
The most important matter In rela
tlon with a new crematorium Just at
Dreaent la the seleotlon of a site. Every
district In the city Is adverse to having
tne crematory within Ita connnea. ine
only site available to the council ex
cept that of the old crematory. It
seems. Is the one offered in Sullivan's
gulch. The offer was made some tlre
ago and it is not believed that the city
can secure it for the same ivo as
originally named.
The need for a more centrally located
site Is urged upon the councllmen. It
Is asserted that everv day of the
exlatence of a tlant in the present Iocs
tlon it will cost twice as much to haul
the garbage there as it will to consume
it. The nauiina- cnarcea win remain
fixed so long as the plant is at the pres
ent site.
Every ton of sarbsse burned in tne
dilapidated excuse of a plant now serv
ing the residents or rortiana some jo
tons a day costs the people 1.6&. With
a plant such as that at victoria it is
believed the garbage can be handled
for less than CO cents. The garbage la
made to act as a combustible agency
in Ita own destruction, and this is an
other cost reducer.
Two Crematories Soon.
Councilman Wallace believes that
eventually Portland will need two gar
bage crematories if not three in differ
ent .portions of the city. Even now, he
thinks, there ought to be one o each
side of the river. There are several
other councllmen who are said to hold
like opinions, and a solution of the pres
ent condition seems probable within a
short time.

According to Tavone, he took Cerchlo
into his home when the latter was with

. It Is understood that Cerchlo re
ceived a letter some time ago from his

asking him to come to her and It Is
thought that the alleged thief is now
on his way to the east. Cerchlo has
not been seen since laat Friday night
and Mra. Tavone In going to the bu

money to buy supplies found that the

Accompanied by her daughter and two

to a complaint. The women were un
able to speak English and It waa not
until the arrival of their friend Joe
Morale, the Italian private detec

and the authorities have wired peace of

Another contest in the estate of W. C.
Noon was begun In the circuit court
this morning when a number of the
heirs of the estate filed a suit asking
that tho resignation of W. C. Noon Jt,
as trustee of his father's estate be not
accepted until $26,427 Is paid to the
oenenciaries under tne win.
The t a nt ffs are Emily J. noon, tne
widow: Viola E. Noon. Lulu A. Werner,
Ralph A. Noon and Alma E. Noon. The
suit Is brought against T. J. Armstrong,
W. C. Noon Jr. and II. M. Cake, aa trus
tees of the Noon estate and directors
of the Noon Bag company.
The money In Question was a dividend
oa 1,149 shares of stock left to the heirs.
The trustees desired to apply the $26.47
to tno navment nr tna dents oi me ro
tate, but the will directed that dividends
on stock should be divided among the
heirs, and the heirs wanted the provi
sion of the will carried out.
After much litigation the supreme
court held that the dlvldent must bs
paid to the heirs aa directed by the
will. H. M. Cake had resigned as trus
tee in June, 106. It is alleged that the
trustees have refused to pay the 426.
427 to the heirs but have applied It to
the use of the company, of which they
are direct or a Aucust 1 W. C. Noon Jr,
filed In the circuit court his resignation
as trustee, saying that no money haa
come into his handa
It Is alleged also that at the time of
tne death or w. J. Noon in August,
1904. Armstrong received a salary from
the bag company of $176 a month and
W. C. Noon Jr.. a salary of $160 a
month. It is charged that after H. M.
Cake had resigned as trustee in June,
1H08, Armstrong and Noon voted to In
crease their salaries to $260 a month
each to date back and be payable from
the date of the death of the elder Noon
in August 1904. without the consent
of the other heirs. It is alleged also
that Armstrongs salary has been in
creased again to $$60 a month.
The suit asks that tha order of court
accepting Noon's resignation as trustee
be aet aalde until the $36,427 la paid to
tne neirs: that they he enjoined from
making any further increases In sal
aries, and that Emily J. Noon and an
other be appointed trustees to succeed

A man prominent in. the railway mail
service stated today that the causs o.
ths late arrival ot Hafrlman trains In
Portland was. due to the stingy policy
of the operating department In an effort
to make a record for economy .In the
iianaimg or traina.
This official said this condition held
true on the O. R. 4 N. and Oregon Short
line and was wholly responsible for ths
djelay in mall delivery and holding up
passengers. '
'These delays are entirely unneces
sary." he said. "If ths com Dan r would
divide its trains Into two sections In
stead of running from 10 to0 12 And
sometimes 14 coaches In one train, the
schedule could be maintained, when
tne iewis and ciars. exposition was

"An official of the passenger denart.
fnent told me that ths operating depart
ment refused to do anything to im
prove the service because of the desire
to nun a new reoora in running trains
as economically ss possioie.
"Harrtman trains arriving at Oreen
Kiver, Wyoming, seldom make conneo
tlons with Union Paclflo trains east
bound. The only excuse Is that the
trains have too many coaches for the
engines to nsui them on schedule time.
And (he engines themselves are only
weak sisters at ths best The traffic
is too great for ths motive equipment
Tha engines are kept at work all the
time ana seiaom see tne interior or

On the Southern Pacific conditions
nave improved considerably. The op
eratlng department runs most of its
trains In two sections, thus ' Insuring
something like schedule time for their
overland traina But the traffic is so
heavy for ths single line of travel that
a fast schedule can never be maintained.

The overland O. R. eV N. train from
