START WORK 00 SWIFT PLAHT
Crew of 100 Men Begins Excavating for Foundation
First Building to Rise Six Stories Concrete and
Brick Structure Finished Within Year.
Exravatlon work haa b'gun on the
half million dollar packlng-houeo of
the Union Meat company, controlled by
the Swifta. Thla morning a crew of
100 men la at work discing out for
the foundation! of tbo' mammoth building-.
Other are preparing to drive pil
ing for the supply dock and the engi
neer are selecting altea for the glue
.factory, box factory and other of the
smaller bulldlnai of the establishment.
The Pacific Bridge A Bulldina; com
pany, which has the contract for the
foundation work on the main packing
house, will have the work completed
within five months. The building is
to be of concrete and brick construc
tion and will be six stories high. Con
tracts for the main building will be leti
within a few weeks and call for Its
completion at the end of eight months.
It Is probable, however, that the plant
will not be In operation much abort of
a year.
The Inlnt truck of the Oregon
Washington and the Spokane A Seattle
railroads through the Bwlft property
Is nearly completed into the It acres
reserved for stockyards. These roads
have access to the property by a long
trestle, the Oregon i Washington Join
ing the north bank line near the Co
lumbla slough drawbridge.
A hydraullo dredge la still at work
pumping sand and gravel out of the
slough channel and into the lowlands
on the stockyards side. It will keep at
this work until the packing-housebuildings
have been constructed and the
ground around the foundations is wen
leveled.
WILL NOTIFY MAYOR OF
FORFEITURE OF BOND
City Attorney Says Proceedings Against United Rail
ways Company Should Be Begun by the Mayor
Council May Order Prosecution of Case.
City Attorney John P. Kavanaugh
stated today that aotlng under seotlon
158 of the city charter he would snd a
letter to Mayor Lane calling the
mayor's attention to the fact that the
$100,000 bond of the Suited Railways
company Is forfeited because of the
failure of the railway company to con
struct and operate its line of railway
between Portland and Salom in accord
ance with the provisions of lta fran
chise. According to City Attorney Kava
naugh, It will then be Mayor Lane's
duty, under section 157 of the charter,
to Institute proceedings to collect the
bond. Section 161 bears on the ques
tion, however, by providing that the
mayor may on his own motion, ana
must upon a resolution passed by the
council directing hlra to do bo, cause to
be instituted, on behalf of the city, such
actions or proceedings as may be nec
essary to revoke, cancel or annul all
fram tilaes." etc.
City Attorney Kavanaugh, however,
believes that section 157 is more to the
potnt in the present case, in that It pro
vides that "the mayor shall see that all
contracts and agreements made with the
city and for Its use and benefit are
faithfully kept and performed, and to
this end shall cause any legal or equit
able proceedings to be Instituted and
prosecuted against all persons or cor
porations falling to fulfill their agree
ment with the city."
The section under which the city at
torney acted in notifying Mayor Lane
of the forfeiture of the bond Is 168,
which states that "it shall be the duty
of every officer or person In the em
ploy or service of the city, when It
shall come to his knowledge that any
contract or agreement with the city, or
with any officer or department thereof,
or relating to the business of any of
fice, has been or is about to be violated,
forthwith to report to the mayor all the
facts and Information within his posses
sion concerning such matter."
Mayor Lane believes that it Is up to
the council to instltnte proceedings in
demanding the forfeiture of the bond,
because the council handled the original
proceedings, although Mayor Lane stat
ed that he had not looked up the-mat-ter
and was not prepared to express an
opinion.
Several weeks ago Councilman Wal
lace asked the city attorney for an
opinion as to whether the bond of the
company was forfeited because of the
failure of the oompany to oompry with
the provisions of Its franchise. The
city attorney delivered an opinion sev
eral days ago to the effect that the bond
should be forfeited. Following his
knowledge on the matter, C'ily Attorney
Kavanaugh prepared his letter to Mayor
J.ane today. In aroordsnce with the
charter, and expects that it will be
unnecessary for him to proceed further
In the collection of the bond until or
dered to do so either by Mayor Lane or
Uie council.
While the general opinion has been
that the railway company would pay the
bond to the city, It has been learned
since that a stubborn flsrht would nrob-
ably be put up by the sureties and the
company to save the monev. If a fight
Is put up for the money. It will have to
be In an effort to secure favorable ac
tion from the council. Even then the
mayor has the right to order the city
attorney to commence proceedings to re
cover the bond, though the council
should neglect or decline to order him
to do so. '

HI
LIVESTOCK SHOW
Special Amusement Fea
ture Planned for Meet
Next Month.
Directors of the Country Club and
Livestock association will hold their
regular meeting next Monday to pass
on the reports of several of the special
committees In charge of details of tha
big week's races and stock show. It Is
- hoped to hnve President B. S. Josselyn
of the Portland Railway, Light & Powsr
company there to urge upon him tho
necessity of making still more elHh
orate plans for handling the crowds
than was contemplated a month ago,
. when the association asked the street
rallwny company what extra accommo
dations It would afford for the ruce
week.
The building committee which has In
hand the matter of providing shelter
for the several hundred people who will
live at the trnck for a week or more
will also report. This committee also
will report us to the advisability of
putting up three or four more racing
stables. At present all available spncn
In the eight nnrns already completed
has been engaced and there will he
scores of horses entered In the lflte
closing events for which some provis
ions must be made.
The amusement committee, met yes
terday afternoon and It was thought
best to have but one large special fea
ture attraction during the week and one
that would prove a. strong drawing card
In connection wnrr tne races. j,incoin
Beachy's airship was favored and ef
forts will be made to secure the plucky
lad who made his first bid for aerial
fame here In Portland.
Any number of amusement features
have been offered and they will prob
ably await the results of the efforts to
secure Reachy or some other topllne at
traction. Hundreds of Portlanders have gone to
Hlllsboro today to attend the warm
ing up" races there for the purpose of
getting a line on the speeders, for prac
tically all of those at Hlllsboro are en
tered for the races here.

GREAT LOSS OF
REVEffUEJO HUT
Repeal of Peddlers' and
Hawkers' License Proposed
by Councilman Kellaher.
If the city council should pass tho
ordinances Introduced by Councilman
Kellaher at the last meeting repealing
sections of the ordinance providing for
city revenue, It would mean an annual
loss to the city of approximately $30.
000, according to the figures of the city
auditor's office. Krllaher's ordinance
provides for the. repeal of sections 17,
18, 19 and 21 of ordinance 14,053. tax
ing hawkers and peddlers, fhe other
ordinance lntorduced by Kellaher pro
vides that any person caught peddling
save those exempted by the ordlnanco
shall be fined not less than JIG nor
more than J 100, or Imprisoned for not
more than 60 days.
Kellaher bases his action against the
peddlers and hawkers on the ground that
ihey have become a nuisance and that
"he business men of the city want them
removed from the streets.
Several months ago the council re
ceived a petition signed by more than
200 business men from all parts of the
city asking that the hawkers and ped
dlers he regulated In some manner so
that they would cease to be a nuisance.
The matter was taken up by the license
committee and after months of wrang
ling an ordinance was passed. Mayor
Lane vetoed the measure and the veto
was sustained. Nothing more was heard
of the matter until Kellaher Introduced
his ordinances last week.
The chief claim against the hawkers
Is in regard to their violation of the
ordinance regulating the length of
time they shall stop In any one block.
Another nuisance objected to is in re
gard to the crying of wares.
