' Whitney L. Boise, elected president
of United East Side Clubs.
M. Q. Munly, prealdent of the North
Eaat Bids Improvement association, an
nouncea that .. nearly 5,009 signatures
have been aecured to the petltlona ask
Ing; that a high bridge be constructed
acroaa the river from Alblna to the ter
minal yarda on the weal aide. The
committee In charge of the work baa
devoted the past week in gathering tie
petltlona that were distributed to all
parts of the eaat and weal aide for
gnlng. . The number required waa
Joo. .
At the next meeting of the assocla-
tlon. Friday. March so, an tne petltlona
will have been gathered and arranged
for filing. The other steps necessary
before the bridge can be erected, such aa
the preparation of specifications, the lo
cation of the approaches and the se
Ing of a permit from the federal
eminent, are being taken.
"It la not expected that the bridge
will be open for traffic within two years
rrom the time the bonds are authorised
In June," said Mr. Munly yesterday, "but
long before that time shall have come
every cltlsen of this city will give
thanks to our organisation for starting
the movement wnen we did. ror our
growth la going to be greater in the
next two years than It has been during
the past two years."
All opposition to the new bridge aa
planned by tha Alblna association has
subsided. The city aeema to have ac
cepted tha bridge project at last as a
very necessary Improvement.

tha road will tap an Immensely rich dls

all tha wealth taken from thia fertile
country to tha business men and the
property ownera of the eaat side," says
Whitney L. Boise.
! . Xna AU Possible Aid.
"The new road la hailed as one of
: tha greatest boona to the east aid that
la In atore for that portion of the city.
So any influence that tha aaat aide cluba
can exert toward securing rights of way
and concessions, so long as the Intereata
, of the city and county are safely guard
ed, will be gladly extended. Work
has been started on the road again, and
It la believed that It will be in operation
by January 1, 1009."
The eaat side cluba make one reserva
tion. They hold that the right to the
flow of the Ldttle Bandy and Bull Run
riven belongs to tha city of Portland,
kven if it la not legally aecured. The
elubs further hold that these water
rights are sacred and must not be
usurped by any corporation, no matter
! how beneficial to the Interests of the
' east aid the objects of the corporation
may be.
, It has been intimated at the meetings
bf the clubs that the Mount Hood rail
way waa endeavoring to secure rights
on the Bull Run reserve that will en
able it to uae part of the Ball Run or
Little Sandy rivers for power purposes.
Tha members of the east side clubs be
lieve Portland will be a large city wlth-
i in a few years, 'and that every drop of
this water supply muat be left Intact. .
"There la nothing that the city tof
. Portland, and especially the eaat aide,
needs ao much today," W. I,. Boise has
v reiterated to the east aide cluba. "as an
additional pipe line to Bull Run. Should
ths one pipe line to the reserve give
out the consequences to the city would
. be disastrous."
' In view of the position taken by dif
ferent member of the eaat side clubs.
It la not likely that any corporation willi
oisiurD me ngnts on Bull Kun water.
Thoae who live in suburbs of the east
ajde and who have looked forward to
securing Bull Run water for years are
determined to protect the source of
supply at all coat
PIEDMONT CLUB
HOLDS MEETOG
- A largely attended meeting waa held
In Piedmont last night under the aua
plceg pf the Piedmont Push club. The
olub la making an effort to secure the
No Hydrants Within Range
of Highland and Wood
lawn Buildings.
Although a 24-Inch water main passes
within a few blocks of tha Highland
school, one of the four largest sohoola
in the city, thst laat year boused over
900 pupils and now contains mors. than
000. there is no hydrant In the vicinity.
Almost the aame conditions prevail at
Woodlawn. Here there is a 20-inch
main paaalng through Piedmont not far
from the Woodlawn school, but no flro
ftrotection lor tne scnooi, wnicn is a
arge one.
For the past year, ever since the new
pipe line to the peninsula from tno
Tabor reservoir haa been in uae. the
residents of Highland, Vernon and
Woodlawn have been endeavoring to se
cure fire protection, not only for their
schools, but for their homes. Despite
the fact that the water la there In suf
ficient quantities, the efforta of the
citizens In the northeastern part of the
city have been without result.
The woodlawn Improvement associa
tion haa become active and an Investi
gation of the conditions at that school
waa undertaken this week. There la ahr
solutely no fr protection of any kind
at the school. If all the fire engines In
the city congregated about a fire In the
Woodlawn school today, nothing could
be done to atop the blase. A chemical
could be uaed until the fire got well un
der way, and then there would be no
help for the achool and lta inmates.
LAY SEWER MAIN
ALONG BELMONT
The first sewer for Mount Tabor la
being laid along Belmont atreet to West
venue to connect with the bunnysiae
sewer. It will drain two blocks on eacn
side of Belmont street, but will not
be available for use by the West ave
nue rchol. Another sewer may be
built along the Base Line road to con
nect with the Mount Tabor schools.
CASES CAN BE HEARD
ON JLEGAL HOLIDAYS
River Traffic Statistics All
Ready to Present to Gov
ernment Officials.
It is believed that sufficient Informa
tion has been collected by the commit
tee from the east side cluba to convince
the war department that the bridge
draws should be closed an hour In the
morning and evening each day. A final
meeting of the committee will be held
next Wednesday evening In quarters of
the Eaat Side club to prepare the mat
ter for presentation to the Washington
government and the Oregon delegation
at Washington, from whom much as
sistance of a material nature Is expected.
Dr. William DeVenv has bad chnl-ire
of the last bunch of statistics those
ertalnlng to the traffic up and down
he river through the draws. It has
been a difficult tank, but has been ac
complished satisfactorily by Dr. De
Venv. A large number of coDles of the
statistics will be prepared, ao that the
ubllo and the rlvermen may aee what
aa Deen done toward securlna- a regula
tion or me draws, uraw regulation Is
one of the most Important and difficult
atepa ever undertaken by the east side.

practice medicine and surgery was re
voked by the state board of medical ex
aminers In July. 1906, has failed In the
supreme court to block the filing and

him. He then filed a suit In the King
county superior court (Seattle), seeking
an Injunction to prevent procedure un

VIEWERS REPORT
OX GRAXD AVEXUE
The viewers have filed their report
for the opening of Grand avenue be
tween Ainsworth and Dekum avenues In
Woodlawn. The distance is about one
mile and la an extension that has been
dealred by the people of Woodlawn for
some time. The difficulties have been
&reat but it Is thought the street must
s opened at some time and since It can
be done now better and cheaper than
later the necessary atep will be taken
at once.
A merry war la looked for In the city
council this afternoon when a resolution
rescinding the resolution authorizing
the extension of Orand avenue from
Ainsworth avenue to Dekum street
comes up for passage. Councilman
Vaughn Introduced the resolution au
thorizing the extension June 6. 1907.
and the work has so far progressed In
the matter that the viewers' report will
noon
be presented to the council this after-
Just why the work should be stooDed
at this time Is unknown. The Portland
Rallwuv. Light & Power company owns
a gravel pit through v'hlch the street
would run should the extension be
made. If Orand avenue were extended
the company would have to stop mining
gravel in the street and would have to
make a fill where Its employes have
mined below the street grade.

H. W. Scott, Matthews & Co. expect
to be able to put the offloe of United
States senator up at auction again next
January aa It was In 1903. when Mr.
Scott promised Jonathan Bourne Jr.
16,000 an hour and other consideration
to get out of the way on the last night
of the session. Such deals were not
uncommon under the old system, and
were spoken of as "clearing the decks
or '"paying the campaign expenses" of
the retiring candidate. Mr. Scott. In a
way, denies the contract, but I have
good reason for my belief that he made
it And If. H W. Kcott will sue for
libel, either the American Magaxlne or
the Med ford Tribune, and will listen to
the evidence, Mr. Scott himself will be
convinced that he did make the con
tract substantially as Mr. Steffens and
Mr. Putnam published It.
Tot Xarvsy Soott Is mot so much to
blams for making the eo&trsot. Booh
things wars Inevitable under the old
system. Bat he is worthy of all poa
slfcl blame, and the contempt of all As
cent men, for his efforta to destroy the
system which prevents such corruption
and enables the people to choose their
senators, Instead of having tha office
sold to the highest bidder by a few
members of ths legislature. This at
tack on Statement jko. 1 Is only ths be
ginning of thalr warfare on ths Initia
tive and referendum and all ths legis
lation or Oregon tnat nas tazen power
from ths posses ana given it o ths peo
ple. Ths editorial columns of the Ore-
gonian are sufficient proof.
Scott. Matthews & Co. are encouraged
because mere are two canaiuaiea ror
senator, both advocating the flection o!
the oeoDle's cnoice oy tne statement No
metnoa. Tney tninK truly tnat these
two candidates must create some degree
of dissension and division in our rank?.
thus weakening our cause. Dotn in the
election of pledged members of the leg
islature and the choice by the people of
the Republican- candidate for senator.
For the rapid growth of this movement
In other states it la Important that a
Republican should be chosen by the peo
ple and elected. v '
Self-preservation Is ths first law of
I politicians, as well as other man, and
; If tha dominant party loses In Oregon
under thia plan, ths politicians In con
trol In othor states, whether Democrats
or Bepublloans, will be mors than ever
bitter and obstinate In opposing any ex
tension of ths direct power of ths peo
ple in ths government.
The effective campaign Mr. Cake Is
now making for Statement No. 1 leaves
me no alternative but to withdraw and
strengthen him for the sake of ths prin
ciple, or continue the contest and endan
ger the success of the principle for the
sake of my personal ambition. After
taking counsel with such friends as I
have been able to meet, it seems very
ciear mac it is my auiy to Wltnaraw
and to render such assistance as I can
for the election of a Statement No. 1
legislature and Mr. Cake for senator.
Therefore I beg to withdraw my name
as a candidate, and this year will seek
only to neip in strengthening and in
creasing the direct power of the people
in uregon to control ineir government
and to select their United States sen
ators as surely as they do their consta
bles and governors.
1 hope' all ths friends whd nave to
