The cltlsen of Eaat Portland want the plant kspt where It Is, at the foot of Twenty-fifth street. The health' board wants It placed near wber the garbage originates, thus sav Jng a long and expensive haul and nun lousing the danger to public health. 1 ';.,,"'".t :la..Xert of City. Dr. Pohl put a her case and that of tne health Doara this way "All crema torv men. at least all those whom 1 here talked with, say one thing Is of , vital Importance In locating a new ' crematory, plant put the Incinerator - whera the garbage Is produced. "Now where this Incinerator ought to ' be placed' Is on the. west aide of the river and . n the water front right down in the heart or the city. But that. ,''H seems, is impossible, so the health board pas round a place mat arter u ' seems to be the best located lots a East Everett and Davis streets. There are not many houees In this district; it Is bound te become business property within a short time and it is just three : blocks from the eastern terminus of the tturnside brldse, "At the - meeting yesterday the only objectl0tu1thenpnnenta11 jo .this,, site seem to have In that It necessitates haullnr tha garbage across the Burn side bridge. That was the only point raised against the Sullivan guloh site. Of course, there is the fact that wagons going over the bridge win cause some wear and tear on It -that 1s the only .. thing against It . : . ' Haol Oarbaj-ev a Hlglxt. ' . "On the other hand there Is every thing to favor a haul across the bridge. The garbage will be hauled at night 'and In sanitary wagons. These wagons may make a little noise but there is no one sleeping on the bridge excepting the watchman and he should be kept awaks. "Now, Isn't it better to have a haul of any erven blocks seross the river, on a smooth road, wber no on la sleeping to be disturbed or to be endangered f rorn germe end then to haul It three blocks through the east side or to haul the garbage as we do now 40 blocks and through the beet residence portion of the city where hundreds are sieepmgT "The greater part of the city s gar base comes from the down-town res' taurant district. This would hsvs to be hauled but the few blocks across the bridge and to Sullivan's gulch. If properly gathered and cared for the of- renaa ana aspens wouia oe out a mm imum. UM1 From Bast SUe. The claim Is made on behalf of locat ing tne incinerator on tne west siae tnsr but 1 per rent of the city's garbage comes from the east side. This Is true It doe but It Is simply because the eaat side garbage la not gathered, it la too far to haul It from Kast Portland acrosa ths bridge and 40 blocks the other side through all of West Port land. The fact that that district east and south of Sullivan's gulch furnished one half of all the diphtheria cases in Portland shews that the garbage 1 sot collected. Plnallv. the objection of the neonle In the neighborhood of the proposed In cinerator that it will prove offensive are entirely groundless. New Incin erators are being constructed to care for New York's garbage they have bean found the best and cheapest way of disposing of It. locations la Other Cities. '1 have letters from scores of cities throughout America showing that the garbage incinerators are nowhere rc- f reified as a nuisance, mere is one n the heart of the business district of Atlanta.

I don't think that pays, however It mar save a little money but it costs a good many uvea, it mignt be a good Idea to save the tin csns and sterilise and melt them.

VETERANS' RANKS ARE THINNED BY DEATH Grand Army 3Ien March in Parade at Encampment at Saratoga. (United Press Leased Wirt.) Saratoga. N. T:; Bept. 11. This was the day of the big. parade of the-na tional encampment of the O. A. R.. when gray-haired veterans of the civil war marched again in martial array. The line of march was comparatively short and the number of marchers was not so large as in previous years, the first dua to the advanced age of the surviving veterans and the second to the rapid de pletion of the ranks by death In the past few years. But it was a successful and anacr?. ular pageant nevertheless. There warn Direct csuses of the trouble leading up to the suspension of the Oregon Trust tt Savings bank ars stlU a topic of discussion. In well Informed Quar ters the conclusion haa been reached that the much taked of Home Tele phony company bonds did not precipi tate tne trouble. The drain upon the bank's treasury was largely for supply- ng oapltal to other local projects, in cluding the board of trade building fund, United Railways . construction, Golden Eagle department store loans and other loans. The bank was putting approximately firo.OOO Into ths construction of the united Railway city lines, and $100,000 Into the new boar of trad hllllfiinar About $96,000 of the bank's funds went into the Golden Eagle department store. These three Karris nrr-nunt fnr nrartlral. ly 1350,000, which had the bank re- talneu in Ita own possession its disaster would have been averted. Even. two. and possibly one of the foregoing mounts would have culled ths bank through its crisis. Tolepno&e securities rrofl table. Ilia lioma .

The amounts are divided between stocks and bonds as follows: Thirty year gold bonda of the Omaha Home telephone plant. Davlnsr S ner cent interest 1500,000; preferred stock of the Omaha plant paying 4 per cent Intereat from date off beginning of oper ation, 1600.000; 10-year gold bonds of the Tacoma Home telephone plant, pay ing 6 per cent Interest, 1400,000; stock of the Tacoma Home plant, $300,000. The Tacoma stock differs from Omaha in that the former is common stock, and paya dividends as earned. j Taooma Plant Kearly Complete. The Tacoma plant is nearly completed, and will begin service to about 2.600 patrons next month.

The bank was selling the bonds at par with a bonus of stock, and retaining the remainder of the stock for its commission. The underwriters had resold for the bank about $76,000 of the Tacoma bonds snd $76,000 or the Omaha bonds. In addition it Is said the Home Telephone company had made the bank a deposl-1 tory, and carried a checking account of about $60,000, while lurtner advantages from this source were between 100 and 200 small savings accounts of the tele phone men.

FOREIGNERS WILL BUY ONE HALF OF YIELD Monday's fire in ths partly completed Hazelwood Creamery building was a practical victory for what Is known as mill constructed buildings," said I. J. Lewis, while discussing the ability of this class of buildings to withstand a conflagration. "Nearly .all' of the gird ers and poats of the burned building are in place and, If the structure had not been windowless and all stair and ele vator wells open, the floors also could have been saved provided Portland had a water tower. "It Is Impossible to send a fireman up a ladder and across a window which la a mass of flames and. too. ths use of ladders at that fire was badly handi capped by the mass of overhead wires. A water tower could have stood in the oenter of the street and delivered sev eral heavy horlsontal streams directly upon the burning floors. "While I am not competent to com ment on the Insulating that was being used on some of the floors of the build ing, as sll my Information la hearsay. but If as I am Informed, the insulating covering three floors burst into flames with such rapidity that some of the workman had le Jump, anal burned with ine fierceness ana Characteristics or. a petroleum product, it was a fire that no building, of whatever class, could withstand without damage. There is no fireproof building when it comes to a Never in History of , Country Have the Farmer Reaped Such Rich Rewards for Their Produce as This Year Fruit Crop Enormous, 1 In these days of sdvanclng wheat prices throughout every section of the Pacific coast, the producer Is the gainer Whest buyers are very busy offering the farmers 76 cents a bushel for their club variety at many interior point This would make the total 1907 wheat crop of the three Pacific northwest states worth about $46,000,000 this sea conflagration like that. A building be comes more or less 'fire resistant ac cording to its class. "In the Hazelwood structure, the re inforced concrete lintels are undam aged, except in two Instances, where the thrust of the arch on the netrth side pushed out the wall, severing the stresses on the lintels and cracklnjr them down to the plate. "But as I said in the beginning, the beams and posts in the Hazelwood structure are in place and not badly damaged, which conclusively proves th main contention of the advocates of mill constructed buildings.

The Omaha plant of the Home Tele phone company, on which the bank held 1700,000 or securities, is nearing com pletion, and will next month begin serv ice to 500 subscribers. The suspension of the bank and involving of the com pany's funds will delay final comple tion about 90 days. This plant is the only all underground telephone system In the world, and Is regarded as the ideal plant. The' method of its financing differed from others. Preferred stork was issued to a certain amount this stock being guaranteed to ?ay 4 per cent dividends from the date he plant Is In full operation. The pre ferred stock, added as a bonus to the bonds, gave the Investor 9 per cent an nual re turps on his money. Attracts Portland Capital. A Portland capitalist yesterday in vested $45,000 In these securities. The preferred stock automatically retires Itself in about 10 years, after which the common participate. It has been esti mated that the bank would have made between 1300,000 and 400,ooo in tne next few years on the whole deal had its disastrous suspension been averted. That it drove a hard bargain with the telephone company is shown by the fact that the company took the bank's certificates of deposit for about 1400. 000 as payment for the bonds and stocks. These certificates paid 4 per cent while the bonds pay 6 per cent interest, giving the bank a profit of 1 Eer cent on the account, so long as It eld the bonds unsold.

The Portland & Seattle Railway company, sometimes called' the north bank road, has ordered Its engineers to prepsre the plans for a reinforced con crete bridge to span the Klickitat river where the stream empties into the Co lumbia. The bridge will be a slnsle arch with a span of 160 feet. This will be the first reinforced concrete bridge to De erected in tne vicinity or rort land. The Contracting Engineering corn- has secured the contract and will To furnish practically all this money haa been the great task of Portland financiers this season and they are re sponding to the task In, a way that leaves little doubt that every cent of it will be forthcoming when the producer la willing to let go of his supplies. Practically half of this amount, or $22,800,000. will be sent Into this ter rltory by English and German buyers who are very eager to take all the ra clflc northwest wheat they can get their hands on. Ths fact that the I'acino northwest raises more than twice as much wheat as It needs for its own consumption at this time Is very en couraging to the grain interests and seems to Indicate that the amount will be larger within the next few years. When a greater area of former desert lend will be put into the cultivation of gram, mostly wheat. California annually sends to this city a large amount of wheat business and this season the volume will be greatly Increased because that state's crop is smaller than expected and consumption Is greatly increased. In the meantime the oats crop should not be lost sight of, for this product will likely be in demand this season for shipment to the east If this occurs. It will be the first time in the history of Pacific northwest oats raising that conditions were such. The east, how ever, Is not the only place that has a small oats crop and will have to depend somewhat upon the t'acltlo northwest As in wheat, the California oata crop is not up to requirements and tnis. too.

Never has the farmer received such high prices for his products as this sea son, ana wnen tne farmer nas money every Dusiness man will tell you that times are prosperous.
