UNIFORMITY IS AIM OF SCHEME EVOLVED BY ENGINEER MORRIS A plan for renaming the streets of Portland and for numbering the houses and buildings situated thereon in accord ance with a system that is uniform and at the same time simple Is soon to claim the attention of the city council. After months of work City Engineer, Morris, as previously stated in The Journal, has evolved a scheme for so designating the streets In order that it will be an easy matter for even a stranger to locate any given place within the pity limits. The plan divides the city Into four quarter sections, with Burnside street as the dividing line between the north land south portions and East Water mreei as me dividing line, bet ween the east and west portions. It is proposed for sake of convenience to call Burnslde Street Central avenue and East Water street-Division-ntreet--ThI forms the' basis of the plan to use the term j street' to designate!! north and south morousnrares ana tne term :-"avnue' for all east and west thoroughfares. The streets to the south of Central avenue and running parallel thereto would be known west of Division street as First avenue a W., Second avenue 8. W., Third avenue S. W., etc, and east or Division street as First avenue fl. E, Second avenue S. E.. Third avenue S. E., etc. Washington street would become Sixth avenue and Morrison street Eighth avenue, with the letters S. W. or 8. E added to designate the portions of those thoroughfares situated, respectively, west or east of Division street. North of Central avenue the parallel streets would also be called First ave nuS, Second avenue, Third avenue., etc., with the letters N. W. 'and N. E. ap pended to designate those .portions of LOST FOR 9 DAYS IN SIUSLAW WILDERNESS; CRUISER NEAR DEATH Albany Men Visit Harrisburg. (Special Dtipateb to Th. Journal.)" Albany, Or., - Jan.

To wan der aimlessly through tho dense Sluslaw mountain wilderness for nine days with but little food and no shelter, was the ex perience Of Bernard Schwerin gen, a timber cruiser of Port land, In the employe of the liacey Timber company. Sch weringen, with a number of fellow cruisers, was employed on the Siuslaw river cruising a large tract of timber land in that part of ' th county. 1 The cruia-; ers had a camp at the head of Knowles creek. On Thursday, .January 20, 8chwerlngn was "sent alone to cross the summit Of the mountain to go to Mea dow to run a line of a section of land. -' He wa to- .have . stayed at another camp at Meadow, but few days afterward, when it was, found . that he had not appeared v at the other -camp, ' a . search was instituted.' For five days the 'search, continued. On Saturday the party came on Schwerlngen'a prostrate . form beneath " a , huge tree, t where he had probably lain for several days;, He was unconscious and nearly dead from cold and hun ger." , Physicians hold - out -Httla ': hope for his, recovery. . , ' the streets situated west or east of Divi sion street The scheme would obtain slmllirly in the cases of . thoroughfares parallel to Dlvlaion street. Those streets to the east of this base line would beoome First street. Second stneet and Third street respectively, with the letters N. E. and 8. E. added to show whether the portion referred to was north or south of Central avenue. To the west of Division Street, how ever, a variation is necessary. It is pro posed to preaervo the name of Front street. But thoso streets on the west Side now known as First street. Second street Third street, etc., would . retain their present names with few excep tions. Park street would retain the same name, and that part of the present Eighth street which, is north of-Burn-slde would become Eighth street N. W. Eighth street 8. W. would be the correct name for the. remaining block. pnthe present Eighth BtreetH)etween -Brrrnstde and Ankeny streets. It is absolutely impossible for this or any other system to apply without cer tain exceptions . because of crooked streets, the presence of the river, the contour of the ground, etc., but it is doubtful if any other system could be devised, according to City Engineer Mor ris, that would be able to relieve the present confusing .system to such a great degree. . . . HtunbexlBff Changed Also. Not only would the names of the streets be changed under the Morris plan, but they would be renumbered as well. The century system, wherein there are 100 numbers to a block, which is now in such general usage In many of the larger cities of the country would be followed. Thus in the majority of cases the mention of any street addresa would enable the hearer to determine its exact location. For example, 20 Elev enth street 8. E. would Instantly indi cate a location in the fifth block south of Central avenue and the eleventh block east of Division street. The Bungalow theatre would be at the corner of Eighth avenue and Twelfth street 8. W., etc, . With the extreme limits of the city the same as at the present time, the most northerly thoroughfare would be come Ninety-ninth avenue, the most southerly Nlntietb. avenue.. On the east the last street, would be Ninety-second street, with Sixty-eighth street as the most westerly ! The public may object, it Is stated, to the use of numbers en tirely in designating the. city's streets but this is one of sacrifices that would have to be made to system 'in the event that the proposed plan-is adopted. 7; By taking East Water street as the east and west dividing line and pre serving the name of Front street it is pointed out that the present mimecM cally named streets on both the east and7 wesU Sides of the- river iri it not have to be changed.,? -And further that with but few exceptions the 'plan wlil apply almost uniformly to three ef the four quarters. In the southwest; south east and northeast portions of the city but little difficulty Is encountered. - . v ; Some'JJifflotdtles. 7 - The northwest portionhowever, pre sents the greatest difficulties, espe cially since it is situated on both sides of the river, as the river takes a de cided westward , turn a short distance below the present .
