ROADWAY -TO GARBAGE , CREMATORY DANGEROUS if i ."NT - - 1 -- . . - - - ,.r f ..- - ; J I v 1 1 J r I il 1 1 i Unpaved Street Leading to , CltJ ' Garbage ' Crematory; The nglect with which th city coun cil of Portland has treated the little crarbap crematory out on th edge of Guild's lake is apparent, -even before the hardy Investigator reaches the dumping ground surrounding; -the plant. One has but to turn into th filthy lane that leada to the place to get some Idea of what he Is to encounter. The street ftself, out of which this lane runx. is nothing more than a mud hole at this time of year, but the lane Is worse. Killed '- with the drippings from hundreds of scavenger wagons. It is almost as odorous as the dump. The Jane Is i "paved" with boards. In more or! less bad state of repair, and the re fuse that falls oft the wagons drops down through the Cracks to the ground below, making the space underneath the boards little better than a sewer,' from which ' rises' a - disgusting smell. ' An average of 200 wagons a day travel this lane, both ways; and the con stant rambling 'of the carts and the pounding of the ' horses - hoofs loosen the nails and make the road danger ous... The- expense of trying -to keep the road in condition so that it can be used Is no small Item1 annually. ' . . Superintendent Daggett has made many efforts to induce the council to jiave'this lane with cement, brick or other lasting material, but without re sult. He put in a request some time bko for an appropriation of 12600 for this purpose.- One' of the council did 'go so far as to visit the crematry and .examine this so-called roadway, but he refused to do anything more, stating 'that he could repair the road for 25 cents. But he didn't repair It. Every day the condition of the road becomes worse and the city Is liable at any time to have a suit for damages on hand on account of a horse breaking a leg by Sutting it through one of Uie holes In is board a Some of the push clubs In the city are interesting themselves in the arar-baa-e problem and are trylnr to find some means of solving it. The Kast Bide Business Men s club has appointed a committee, consisting of Dr. M. Q. McCorkle,' C. I Daggett, superintend ent' of the crematory, T. J, Wilson, M. B. MoFaul and C. A.- Blaelow. to obtain statistics from other cities as to their manner or disposing of garbage. It is' commonly known that there 1 no other city In the United States which has so poor and inefficient a manner of getting rid of its garbage as Portland. Most cities use the crematorv svatem. and : where a plant Is up to- date and large enough It has been found that there is no objection to having It In side the city limits, as a proper system is odorless." i - -.v The proposition to have ' a garbage crematory eomewnere oown - the river towards the Columbia has been revived. Thla was tried once and proved a fail ure, but It la believed that the Idea Is still feasible. It Is proposed to have the garbage loaded on barges, and towed down to the mouth of the Willamette to a crematory to be erected there. This method Is being considered by the Kast Bide Business Men's club, and It Is possible that the committee having the matter in-.charge will report back to the club, recommending that this method be referred to the people for aopiion py initiative ana referendum vote.

The two parrots had an opportunity to rail at one another because the mistress - of the stranger bird, Mrs. Mary Smith, had been arrested at 10 e clock ror ceienrating Christmas in too nolsr a fashion in a Yamhill street rooming . house. She said she would go peaceably to jail If she could take her parrot. along and Officer Harms granted the request. The officers-believe the woman's name is 'not Smith, but that is the name she Insist ed waa her own. Mrs. Smith offered the officers on duty at the police station a few selec tions from grand opera before she would condescend to enter the elevator and to to the. women s department.

Beach himself ia reticent. He does not want, to discuss the organization question much at this time, contenting nimseir witn ine assertion mat thinks he will be In the caucus when It is called. .

'-m No one seems to know just how much atranrth TCav of Marion has. though it is urged by his friends that he can de pend on all of the antl-Bowerman votes when the time comes.' This is on the theory that Beach will line up with Bowerman if the Multnomah man sees he has no chance. Anti-Beach Influences contend, however, that the senator will never go to Bowerman. because he does not like the forces working- back of Bowerman for his election. The organisation ia up in the air both In the senate and the house. Bowerman la at The Dalles, and will not return to Portland until tomorrow nigni. tie wm then remain in Portland until the open in of the legislature In order to direct his fight for the presidency. Kay of Marlon was In Portland for several d&va durlnsr the week, but most of the time was attending' the Finch murder trial, so did not talk politics to any great extent. He haa returned to Salem, but is expected back In the city the first of the week. Beach ia already at work, ao that the three cornered fight Is on In earnest. It is expected that some definite lineup will be secured during the coming week, so that the out come of the struggle will be plainer than it ia at preaent. . f In-the house everything Is alao at sixes and sevens. McArthur is continu ing his flKOt but seems to be several votes short of the nomination, with no more votes in sight, and indications are that he will lose several If not nominat ed on the - first ballot. ," Bean Is also working- hard, and may wln out, depend ing on the showing he can make to the 14 Statement No. 1 men who have agreed to stand together and vote in. a body on the organisation. . i. : - s i Campbell has his own vote and those of h's two colleagues, making three In all. . McCue has once more appeared above the horizon with the contention that he has men enough back of his can didacy to make him the balance of pow er in the speakership fight. . - In the house, also, it is expected that the battle will be fought out during the. coming week, or at least that some defi nite lineup will be formed bv which the relative strength of the candidates may be more exactly judged. .
