The city executive board recently
awarded a contract for the paving of
East Morrison street from Kast Water
: street to Unloh avenue with wood
blocks. A pavement of this material
was laid on Fourth street 11 years a so
and ia still In use. Mr. Teal s letter
' follows :
.. "I taka the liberty of calling your
attention to a aublect well worthy of
Uie serious and prompt consideration
, of ail our city officials and citizens
' generally as well that of the uae of
treated wood blocks for paving.

"Whether as a mast for a ship, a

flooring, or for finishing, it stands pre

reasons In favor, of a properly treated

"Other good points In Its favor could

sufficient to cause the greatest city in

the best.
"Wood blocks are constantly grow

'for paving in the largest and most pro

where they cost more than other hard

In carrying out this policy. Deputy

women will say that their husband

In which the vilcness consists. Laura

who was required to tell some of the
bad names she said her husband. J. O.

refused a divorce from Leonard Gager
because she could not give specific

"This divorce habit has become a
terrible thing," said Deputy Dennlson,
this morning. "Men and women rush In

weak grounds. They say this or that Is

Federal Attorney Charges That

New York, July 14. Believing that
many deaths and much unnecessary suf

caused by a criminal conspiracy to con
trol the New York Ice market. District
Attorney Whitman has arranged for a
judicial inquiry next Tuesday before
Magistrate Appleton, using this method
in preference to the grand Jury. Whit
man believes that while one body of men
control the supply of natural loe and
another the artificial commodity, a third
group markets both products and cre
ates a famine in order to force prices
upward.
The ice trust, learning of Whitman's
action, has become panlo stricken and is

ently discouraged over bad luck,
P. M. Soesby, residing near Sallda, shot
himself this morning in the woods near
where he has been making his home.
Mr. Soesby enlisted in the Fourteenth
Infantry for the Spanish-American war,
being one of the first to offer his serv
ices. After the' war he enlisted in the
regular army, leaving the service in
1904. Recently he had been residing on
a scow on Lake river, near Sallda, where
he and his wife seemed to be happy.
He was 51 years of age, and by pro
fession a musician.
IlLJuck had followed Soesby for some
time and yesterday his scow was left
high and dry on the bank of the stream
when the waters receded, and his efforts
to float tho craft proved fruitless. It
Is thought that his trouble had some
thing to do with the shooting. The body
was found by a neighbor, M. S. Simp
son. An Inquest found that death came
by his own hands.

GETS WESTRUMITE
Quick Job Just Completed by
Hassam Company Other
Interesting Items.
The work of paving Lombard street
from Wabash avenue to Westana avenue
in St. Johns has .Just been completed
by the Hassam Pavtng company. This
is one of the quickest jobs that has
been done on the peninsula. There are
nearly two miles of street that Is now
covered with pavement, and when the
link between Lombard street and Klll-
lngsworth avenue is hard surfaced, there
will be a straightaway course from
Portland to St Johns.
At Kenton, where the Westrumtte
Paving company has located its plant,
work is well under way for the making
of the preparation for the pavement
which it is to lay on the 22 blocks
of St. Johns streets. This oontraot is
for $30,000, and when the work is com
pleted, will be the first Westrumtte
pavement laid west of the Rocky moun
tains. ,
E. O. Ma goon of St Johns haa tried
for several weeks to secure a license
for the wholesaling of liquor from his
store on Jersey street The city ordi
nance prohibits the sale of liquor from
any building on that street either whole
sale or retail. While a few. year ago
the city required all saloons to be placed
on Philadelphia street, and as that la
about all that is on that street In the
way of business, there is hardly room
enough for another liquor house, for It
would be within the limits of the school
district
Many people of the town are com
plaining that saloons should be bunched
together, particularly on the main
street of the town on which the city
hall is located. There are four saloons
on the street, and they are hardly 60
feet apart Others contend that it is
better for the city, aa it keeps the rough
element together, and makes it handy
for the police officials to quell any
disturbance which may arise.
At the adjourned meeting of the 8t
Johns council last night for the pur
pose of receiving an answer from Mor
ris Brothers in regard to the bonding
for ferry slips and pontoons, it was
found necessary to give the bonding
company more time, for they have not
decided whether the bonds will be ac
cepted or not. It is thought that It
will be but a short time before a definite
answer will be forthcoming.

P. R., L & P. Co. Makes Re
ply to Suit Regarding
Hauling Freight. J
. Arguments on the suit to force the
Portland Railway, Light & Power com.
pany to stop hauling "freight over the
tracks now in the city will :, be mads
Tuesday afternoon before Presiding
Judge'Kavftnaugh of the circuit court
The evidence was taken yesterday. The
ait was brought by E. W. Spencer, al
though other parties are known to be
closely allied with the plaintiff. At
torneys Franklin T. Griffith and John
M. . Gerin appeared for the defendant
company, and Attorney James Gleason
represents the plaintiff.
The position of the street railway
company with regard to the handling
of freight over its narrow gauge lines,
as outlined by the officials of ths com
pany is to the effect that they do not
care for the business. A package ex.
press line is run to St 'Johns,. Kenton
and Vancouyer to accommodate the re
tail merchants in Portland.' Heavy
freight Is hauled by ths Pacific Bridge
company over some of the city carllnes
with its own equipment and not by the
equipment of the company. , For i, this
service, merely a trackage fee Is charged
the bridge company and the purpose in
extending this accommodation has been
to permit the citizens at large to get
toe benefit in their home building, pav
ing, construction of sewers and the
more or less heavy work in the various
outlaying sections of the town. The
street car company has a franchise for
handling of freight over their broad
gauge and Inter.urban line, and this fran
chise Is not attacked by the present suit
The only question Involved now Is the
right to deliver sand, gravel and freight
ever the city carllnes where paving and
other construction work of a like char
acter is going on. The company an
nounces that it does not care for this
business. It is merely an accommodation
to permit of Improvements being made
at a more reasonable price.
OF
IS CAUSE OF LAWSUIT
Misroutlng of a car loaded with lum
ber in which excessive freight rates
were charged is the cause of a suit filed
today -in the circuit court by ttte'Booth
Kelly Lumber company against the
Southern Paclflo Railway company.
The amount involved Is only $66.13, but
the principal question will be over the
excess rate charged) ths lumber com
pany over the price originally agreed
upon by the two companies.
It Is set out that the lumber company
contracted with the railway company
to have the latter transport a car load
ed with lumber from Springfield, Or,
to Norfolk. Neb. The route was to be
over the Union Pacific to Orin Junc
tion, Wyo, thence over the Chicago A
Northwestern to Norfolk. The rate was
contracted to be 40 cents per hundred!
pounds. Instead of sending the car
over this route, the railway company
sent It to Omaha, Neb., over the Union
Paclflo, thence over the Chicago A
Northwestern to Norfolk. The latter
road charged a rate of 60 cents 'per
hundred pounds, which cost the lumber
company $56.12 more than under the
original rate agreed upon with the
Southern Pacific company.
