THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, - 1911. EAST SIRS HOT ) UNIT III FIGHT ii. i One Faction Says Road Would Improve Passenger' Service and Not Hurt Property; Ma-t jorityjs Still .Opposed. ,r ' The city council chambers were filled yeeterday afternoon by mora than 100 men and women resident of the east Bide, who, came before the street com mittee of the council to protest against the Mount Hood Railway Company be ing permitted to find entrance to the lty through the quiet residence districts of lrvlnRton and Holladay. Most of the tymonstrators lfve on Weldler street, which the railway proposes to traverse for more nan a mile, and for nine blocks of this distance the street Is so Darrow . and if double tracks are laid on it ' there will be a space of only three feet and three inches between the outside rails and the curbs. - - Vot All Am Aralaat X. There were one or two people In the delegation who seemed, to want the fail road to pass their property. -One of these, J. Wood' Smith, who owns nron- erty on Halney street, happened to be among the first granted the privilege of the floor. "We. who live In Irvington, are proud of our beautiful residence section," said he, "but I want to remind you that our present streetcar service la very poor. When It was proposed to take up the tracks of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, on Halsey street, we made a great remonstrance. Now we are bawling to keep tracka :off the street. Some of us have said we don't want a railroad on our streets under any' circumstances, that an lnterurban road will decrease property values, that the heavy cars will be noisy and so on. Now If this Jj.a true. If we don't want railways, improvements, competition and progress, we can move out to Mount Hood and build residences right on' top of it. j., i ininn me mount nooa railway WOuld hi" S) hTflt tn.taorl nf a fit.k ment. I am reliably Informed that it will give us an eight minute car service with stops every ether block; that it will give us wide, roomy cars, well ven tilated at all times and well heated in cold weather. It lias promised us all these things and if It doesn't live up to these premises, why, we can make it by electing a public service commission. Passenger Trafflo Only. ' "r understand that a frreat many of the signers whose names appear on the remonstrance filed by Mr. Gleason, were Induced to sign because It had been represented to them that the Mount Hood railway would carry freight through the residence streets. Now, I understand that all freight handled bv the company is to be taken down Sul livan's gulch over the O. R. & N. Co.'s tracks.- - - "Of course there is great opposition to the Mount Hood railway on the part of the local streetcar .monopoly, but I can't understand how the monopoly can prejudice property owners against Its rival. Ves, we can go on hanging to the Btraps if we listen to the Portland Rail way, Light & Power company's agents." James Gleason, voicing the sentiment of the Weldler street residents, was in terrupted by former United States Sena tor W. Fulton, who appeared as at torney for the Mount Hodd company. Mr. Fulton asked the speaker if many of the remonstrators had not been led to believe that the Mount Hood com pany would run freight trains over Weldler street. Mr. Gleason replied that they had not. He said the property owners knew that the road would handle only passenger traffic on Weldler street. M. E. Reed, formerly an engineer with tire Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads, who Is a resident of Weldler street, declared that he knew the right of way game from experience, having assisted, he said. In procuring the rights of way of the two roads Into Seattle. He said that the Mount Hood railway had chosen the worst pos sible route Into the city, In that it was on the line of greatest resistance. He said he believed the most feasible route would be down Sulltvan's gulch. "The company can get rights of wav down the gulch," he concluded, "but It doesn't want to pay the price. The se lection of the other route was simply a question of obtaining cheap rights of way." Judge Samuel White referred to. the narrowness of Weldler street. He said if It were double tracked that, for a distance of nine blocks, there would not be anough room between the ciirbs and tha rails for automobiles or milk wagons to stand. Councilman Menefee here interrupted the speaker by making a motion that net with the approval of all present. He moved that when the committee ad journed It should adjourn to meet at Borne ruture date with the engineers and officials of the Mount Hood railway for the purpose of selecting. If possible, Borne other route than rfhat down Weld ler street. The motion was amended to Include six property owners to represent the remonstrators at the conference. Sen ator Fulton said he would be perfectly satisfied with the adoption of the mo tion, provided the date opfSfce meeting were fixed as early as JSopaible. The motion was carried antJTI,tAlrman An nand set tomorrow afcJll h'clock as the time for the Joint l,coiifcrice. The street committee will be present, too.

Mr. Lowe died Thursday of heart disease after , lying ill in the institution for nearly a month, daring which time his fiancee waa al most constantly with him. Mr, Lowe, who was 48 years of age, had been in love with Miss Chapman for a long time. Heart disease struck him down during the first part of De cember. Ha was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital, where ho was at tended by t)r. Ralph Fenton, a relative of Miss Chapman. Hla condition was serious and little hope waa entertained for his recovery.

The witnesses are Dr. Fenton and Myra Dorden. After more than a week of Intense suffering Mr. Lowe died Thursday. Mrs. Lowe, who Is a guest at the Hotel Portland, said She would rather not talk about the reasons for the wed ding ceremoay at the bedBlde.

If our en trance to the city depended on this route the Mount Hood railway would not be built. "It Is difficult for me to compfehentl how people can oppose a competing rail way. I can not believe that they under stand the situation. We are perfectly willing to accepfany reasonable amend ments to the franchise. We are willing to run on a single or double track, to take any street that will give us access to the city over the Broadway bridge. Of course, if we come down one street on a single track we will have to loop back oyer some other street. We se lected what appeared to us the most feasible route, but we will take any other offered us.

The board of regents of the University W Oregon met this morning to consider the report of President Campbell concerning the condition and needs of the institution. The report in brief Is aa follows: . ) The report of the registrar shows a total enrollment in all departments of the university to be 1414 (excluding du plicates), classified as follows: College of literature, science and the arts, 498; college of engineering, 1S6; college of law, 176; school ot medicine. 74; school of music, 193; school of correspondence study, S14; summer school, 95. Tha en rollment for the year ending June 23, 1910, was 1378. The registrar's report gives a de tailed analysis of the present enroll ment, and shows the gain in enroll ment each year of the past four years, since the time of the last appropriation made for the- support of the university. During these the total enrollment has Increased 165 per cent, or excluding the enrollment of the new departments added during that time, 10S per cent, and the college of literature, science and the arts, and the collage of engineering, 93 per cent The state has been gaining rapidly In population, and the university has more than kept pace with the growth of the state, as is shown by the fact that its enrollment has more thaa doubled during the last four years. Balanoa on Zand. The report of the steward of the uni versity shows a slight net balance (3543.11) to the credit of the university with the state treasurer at the close of the fiscal year. The rapid growth of the university has been due to the very rapid growth of the population of the state and the remarkable growth of the state high Lschool system. There are at present 145 high schools In the state, and 80 of these are giving a full four years' course. There will be approximately 800 graduates from the high schools of the state this year. Because of this and the promise of a future rapid growth It is thought that the present appropri ation of 3125,000 will be very Inadequate. The annual budgets of the best known middle ' western universities are very large, reaching $574,938 In Iowa, In Ne braska 3699,726. In Missouri 3684,393. in Illinois $1,639,792. In Minnesota $1,415, 424. in Wisconsin $1,697,447. The bud get of the University of Washington last year was above $900,000, and the budget of the University California was $2,- Tha Easy Road .

The cost per capita of maintenance In the departments at Eugene Is $188.70. The maximum salaries paid at the Uni versity of Oregon are considerably less than the maximum salaries paid at oth er large state universities, and the num ber of students to the instructor Is con siderably larger. The salaries leave no margin of saving at the present cost of living even though great economy is used. Mora Money Weeded. If the university Is to provide, then, for the demands to be made upon It dur ing the next blenntum, additional appro priations will have to be secured at the present session of the state legislature. The suggested budgets for the years 1911 and 1912, which are printed below, represent tho careful work of all the heads of the departments of the uni versity.

The budget for the year 1912 is similar with the exception of the item "estimated" addition to pay roll which Is raised to $22,000. This makes the expenditure for 1911 $168, 130, and for 1912 $170,000. The uni versity has an annual income of $139, 200 for 1911, and of $140,200 for 1912. so the appropriations asked -for are $28, 920 for 1911 and $29,920 for 1912.

Plana for a great highway to run the entire length of the Paclf lo coast states, connecting Canada with Mexico, are being boomed here by Samuel Hill, who ia honorary president of the Oood Roads association of the state of Washington and vice president of a national good roads or ganization. He looks to California to take' the lead In working for the pro jected highway and ia getting in touch with the leaders , of public thought to that end.- Discussing the utility of the project, jHUl said todsyi "It must be remembered that the cost of haulage the freight rate com mences at the farm . house door, and when the roads are muddy the prices of all products go up' enormously. It is unfair for either the town or the coun try to carry this cost It Is a common burden and should be shared by all. "CongTess is now being urged to set aside the proceeds of -sales from forest reserves through which the highway we advocate will pass, and If this is done a sufficient fund will be provided. Brit ish Columbia has already author lied a highway to the Washington line. "The Bcherne Is In no sense visionary, but entirely practical. It Is up to Cali fornia to get into line.'" Leave the general maintenance Of the university on the old appropriation of $125,000 per year, which was made four years ago; but call for additional spe cial appropriations to the extent of $174,840, chargeable on the two years of the biennlum, for such purposes as ad ditional laboratory equipment, purchase of books for library, repairs and im provements of Deady hall, addition to men's dormitory,, addition to electrical engineering bunding, extension of heat ing plant, increase of work in the cor respondence department and summer school.

To correct the omission of former legislative sessions to provide legally for an assistant for the attorney general, a bill waa intro duced yesterday in the house by Repre sentative Buchanan of Douglas county, which was" prepared by the attorney general, providing for two assistants for the attorney general, and fixing their salaries at $2100 artfl $1500 respectively. Because the circuit court for this county, Judge L. T. Harris of Lane county presiding, has recently decided that there Is no legal provision for the present assistant attorney general, an emergency is declared to exist and the bill, if passed will become a law aa soon as approved by the governor. tn an action brought recently by Attorney Daniel Powers of Portland, the office of assistant attorney general was attacked and it is believed that there Is ground to believe that there Is no legislative sanction or foundation for the office. For that reason the new bill was introduced yesterday In the house. The bill also provides for a stenogra pher at a salary of $1200 a year In addi tion to two assistants. H. F.
