Council Determines to Have
All Streetcars Equipped
With Airbrakes.
When tho city council receives the
reports of the committee on streets the
members will find a diversified opinion
existinir relative to the equipment of
streetcars witlj airbrakes, the majority
report of the committee favoring an
ordinance which will require airbrakes
on every streetcar operated In Portland
by Janur.ry 1, 1909. The minority re
uort of Councilman Vaughn being to
the effect that airbrakes be provided
and that cars stop at all crossings. The
remaining report will be ma.le by t'oun
oilman DrUaoll asking that no action
be taker, in the matter until March 1
1908.

would not be necessary.
"Do not pass such a drastic measure,"
said Mr. Huber. "In no city of the
I'nlted States will you find one of such
drastic power. I ask you not to do
this because It wl'.l hurt the company
In the eastern money markets.
"We are to spend about $1,600,000 In
Improving our service In the next year
or two and we will have to sell bonds
to lo it. You realize how hard it Is
to raise money at the present time and
If eastern financiers learn that such an
ordinance has boon passed they will be
loathe to buy our bonds.

before taking ac.lon on this measure.
By that timo we will have 56 new oars
In service and you will see so much im
provement that you will not care to put
such a measure on the statute books.
"Every car we are ordering Is
enulnned with airbrakes. There nre
about 1B0 cars in service that are not
equipped with them. We are relegating
these cars to the scrap heap as rapidly
' as possible and in. another year we ex
pect to have nothing but first class cars
properly equipped i.n our lines"
The councllmen were obdurate, how
ever, and passed the measure along af
ter Inserting a provision which gives
the- company t lie alternative of using
megnetlc or airbrakes. The magnetic
brakes are used only on the steepest
grades and their cost prohibits their In
stallation when other brakes will serve
the purpose.

ASTORIA'S MESSAGE
TO THE BIG FLEET
(TJolted Preaa IeMed Wlra.)
Astoria. Or.. Dec. 17. Just before the
sailing of the fleet Mayor Herman Wise
sent the following telegram to Admiral
Robley D. Evans at Hampton Roads:
"The Doonle or Astoria on tnis sum
mer like Sunday wish you, your officers
and men a pleasant Journey to the Pa
cific in every way. We are anxious to
receive you with open arms and loyal
hearts." N
Annexationists, armed with nil kinds
of figures tn prove the advantages of
union with the city, presented a strong
front at a meeting of the Mount Scott
Improvement association last night. C.
Hen Riesland showed how the Imreaso
In taxes would be more than covered by
lower water rates: Dr. William I ie Veny
showed what hen.llts had accrued in
Alontiivllla as the direct result of an
nexation, and Mr Cole of Stewarts
showed how Insurance rates would be
favorably alTectcil l.v annexation.
Dr. De eny was the strongest speak
er in favor of annexation lie told
how property values had risen In Monta-
villa since the suburb bad been an
nexed, how It was the only means of
obtaining street Improvements and Hull
Hun water, so necessary to tiny deslr-
anle resident district. He quoted spe
cific Instances where property had dou
bled and trebled since streets were im
proved and Hull Run water had been
provided, and pointed out why there was
the same strong opposition to annexa
tion in Montavilla. He alao said im
proved cur service did not come until
after annexation.
"The active opposition to annexation
consists of men who own large prop
erty pieces of unplatted ground In
Mount Hcott, and also of those who
own private water systems." said Hen
Rlesland this morning, "and every
speaker that opposed it last night ad
mitted it. We shall have no trouble
In getting the votes once the matter Is
brought before the people In the dls
trlct."
Last night Mr. Riesland presented
figures to show that taxes would be
many times offset by the direct benefits
of annexation. He said that next spring
the water board will be planning new
reservoirs for tho new conduit, and
they would not prepare for the Mount
Scott district if It were not In the city.
This argument was borne out by Dr.
C. H. Raffety of tho water board, who
was present.
. Those who opposed the action on tho
ground of high taxes and Inadequate
benefits were Dr. J. K. Hartcll, M. Kru
der and Secretary Rodley. E. T. Nahgei
appointed these men to attend the an
nexation meeting at that place next
Friday to present the matter, despite
the fact that tho meeting seemed not
to approve of. their stand against an
nexation. It Is possible the question of annex
ation may be the cause of the organiza
tion of another club In the Mount Scott
district. A big meeting will be held at
Woodmere, Friday night, at which time
the work of circulating petitions will
be started. The petitions are now be
ing drawn up.

I'nivcrslly of Oregon. KuKene, Pee.
17. The fnlverslty of Oregon Is plan
ning a loan fund of at least $5,000, in
the belief that a loan Is better than an
outright gift In the form of a scholar
ship. Some subsorlptlons have already
been made to the fund, and a number
of prominent men of the state have,
agreed to guarantee amounts up to $500.
President Campbell is using his bent
efforts to raise the entire J5.000 this
year if possible.
In almost every high school graduat
ing class there are some who do not
have the means for a college education,
but who would take advantage of any
fair opportunity offered to secure one.
The treasurer of the loan fund, who Is
to bo the high school inspector, and
will thus hAve an opportunity to know
personally the members of the classes
will work In conjunction with city tu-
perintendents and high school rrlncl
pals. He will tnako loans each year at
a low rate of interest, with the agree
ment that students are to repay the
firlnelpal as soon 8a they are able after
eaving college. A small amount of life
insurance will bo taken out on each at
the expense of the fund. It Is the plan
to have 10 men guarantee the fund
against loss, to the amount of $500 each.
The university has had a small loan
fund of about $300 for the past four
years. During this time 25 students
have been enabled to complete their col
lege course who otherwise could not
have done so. Only one loan has been
lost.

Olympla, Wash., Dec. 17. A decision
was rendered by the supreme court yes.

minor appellant, versus the Bradley En
gineering & Machine company, respond
ent. Young Akin, who is 11 years of
Hge, iook Homo uynnmue caps round be
hind tho shops of the engineering com
pany and with some companions tried to
explode them by throwing against rocks.
The boys took somo old discarded bat
teries found behind a garage and started
to explode the caps with the spark. One
went off, tearing away Akln's thumb
nnd one finger. Suit was brought for
damages. Counsel for the engineers
stated the facts of the case to the Jury
in making his opening address and at
the conclusion made a motion for the
dismissal of the case, which motion was
granted before any testimony had been
taken.
The statement of facts showed that
the machinery company had been in the
habit of throwing awny "dynamite caps
in the vacant yard behind the shops,
through which children passed on their
way to school. The case was ordered
back to the lower court for hearing and
the taking of testimony.
