Construction of a. department atore
building on the Pennoyer block is prac

Within the nest two or three days It
will be determined whether the atruc

King of Portland or for eastern parties
with whom the Trustee company is ne
gotiating. .
Manager Melkle of the Trustee com

Subject. . He said today:
. "Nothing is finally settled with Olds,
Wortman & King. There have been no
papers signed, and the negotiations are
till at a waiting stage. We are still
egotlatlng also with outside ' parties.
I am unable to eay what will be done."
, It is admitted, however, that d-,
partroent store will occupy the ground,
and that, it will be a substantial build
ing of five or. six stories. The report
that a one-sttry building covering the
entire block would be built has at no
time had any . foundation In fact, al

BLOW IN MARQUAM LITIGATION
.Presiding Judge Clelahd in tha circuit
Court this morning for the second time
I within a few weeks delivered a blow to
Iftffe litigation whereby P. A.'Marquam Is
attempting tv iwro wi
the foreclosure of the Marquam build
ing by the United States Mortgage &
Trust cbmpany. The Wow landed
squarely between' the eyes, the court
sustaining a motion to strike out 'the
amended complaint that Marqualn'a at
torneys filed by leave of court after the
original complaint was defeated by a
Judger'cieland also .decided that J.
Thorburn Ross, William M. Ladd and
others who, were accused of having
conspired to buy In the Marquam prop-,
erty while -Marquam was depending on
thpm to protect bis interests In It, shall
net. be required to - appcarv before a
notary and answer questions concerning
these ejiarges.- . - ,
a petition was -filed some time ago
asking. tht they be required to appear.
and they were saved from dolnr so bfc
a temporary injunction Hgranted ' by
Judge. Cleland. The court today bald
that persons may be cited to give testi
mony before a notary tjnder.certoln con
ditions, but these conditions are all
negatiyed by the answer to the petition,
which shows that the persons named
are living In Portland .and -can "be sum
moned into, court, to testify whenever
their evidence is 'required. . ,
The amended -complaint by which
Marquam- sought to come-into court
against the United - Stater Mortgage ft
Trust 'Company -and the Title Guarantee
tr Trust company and reopen the fore
closure case Is bulky document. It
contains all the matter Included in the
original complaint, to which a demurrer
had been Sustained, and Judge Cleland
remarked that K ; was unnecessary to
recapitulate what he said In passing on
this
thi
matter, he

the demurrer. AU of
said, is vulnerable to
strike out.
As-to the new matter, the court said
that the rule is well settled that when
the pleadings are entered the position of
the parties is fixed, and It is not proper
to bring in an amended complaint things
that have happened afterward. On the
face of the complaint, he said, It ap
peared that the new matter did not
exist until after the suit was beuun.
Marouam's attorney was allowed until
nexcaionaay to aeciae ma iuture action.-'
An .appeal from , the ruling of
Judge Cleland to ' the supreme court is
expected. .The case has e? familiar
sound in the state's highest legal
tribunal, as It has been there twice be-for-
in : various forms. - The last time,

That Schwartzschild ft Saltburger
are confident of eventually being
granted permission to establish a
packing plant within the city limits
despite the fact that the ordinance
which grants them this permission.
will be killed tomorrow by the coun
cil, is shown by deal which the big; -independent
packers have made with
the City Market company for the pos
session of the city market block,
bounded by Second, Third, Clay and
Market streets.
This property Is owned by the city
and "the control of it; was given to the''
City Market company by franchise o
the condition that Suitable buildings be .
erected on the sits by the company to be
devoted exclusively to market purposes. '
Several months ago the council revoked
the franchise and the company took Its
case into court on the ground that the
city had hot acted In good faith. .
Now the packers are said to have
made a deal with the company whereby
the suit will be withdrawn- for a consid-
eratlon on the condition that Scbwarts
schlld fe Sulsburger secure permission '
:lty to operate a Dacklmr nlant
within the city and further secure a i
franchise for the market block similar
to the one formerly owned by the mar
ket company.
Suitable BaUdinga. , .
That the packers could securer a f ran-
chine granting them the control ot the
market block once they are in the city
has already been assured. It is said, by :
the majority party in the council. The
conditions, under- which the franchise 1
would be granted would be that the
packers erect buildings suitable for;
market purposes and that they be de-'
voted to these purposes solely.
It la said that the packers would oo-
cupy one quarter of the block with a -retail
butcher shop operated by them--nlvee
which In ltanlF ia a. nartlat ap
planation as to why the company Is so
anxious to get within the city.? -
The packers are said to bo willing

A tight will doubtless be started In
the council If the franchise Is offered '
to the company at this rental because ,
many of the council men believe the city -should
receive more money for the prop
erty. Councilman Vaughn has long fa
vored the erection of an auditorium on
the site, while others have advocated
the erected of a city Jail and emerg- '
ency hospital on tha block.
Still 1-ighUna; riant.
In the meantime the' fight aralnst .-
opening up the city to packing plants .
and slaughter houses Is being waged
as relentlessly as ever and when th
ordinance comes up tomorrow It will
either be killed or sent back to the com
mittee to be so amended as to brinsr It :'
up to requirements that will not throw,

City Attorney Fitsgerald that the or

Mr. Fitzgerald holds that be- .
cause the ordinance stipulates that only

thereby creates a class privilege which
