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.
NINETY DAYS SAYS ONE PARROT,
j STOOL PIGEON, SINGS HIS FRIEND
"Aw. 80 days for you." screeched
4he parrot who Uvea in jalL ,
"Forget 'it,' forget It," squawked
back the. parrot who had come to JalL
, "Stool pigeon, stool pigeon," retort
ed the resident bird. And he added
"Ninety days. 90 days," his pet ex
pression when a ' new - figure Is seen
around the women's department of the
city JalL '
The strange" parrot glared back but
said nothing until he could ' think of
something real mean to say.
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. Lean
ng on the. raillnjr at the entrance to
the station, she warbled a few lines

Interrupted Harms, and she waa still

Multnomah Senator May Be
Strong Kival of Bower
man for Presidency.
Minr ft. r "Reach of Multnomah is
looming up In the race for the presidency

tlon gossip. His rrienas ooniena mi am
has support enough to block the nomina
tion tf althar Rnwerman or Klv in the
caucus, and for the election of himself
or some candidate acceptable to him.
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. .
Bowerman Is said to have the support
of some 10 or IS senators. This is the
talk givea out oy ms inenas. fiimai
of Beach say, however, that Bowerman
relvinar on Wood. Chase. Bmlth of
Marlon, Johnson of Benton and Notting
ham oi Multnoman. 'may aaa mai nvi
tlnsham ia not Dledffed to Bowerman,
and that the other four men are not
with him. This they contend reduce the
Bowerman forcea to six men, or. eight
at the moat. ; - .- . . -v. '-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. .
