THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, ' FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 21. 1011. V. TENTH AND GOUCH RECOMMENDED AS AUDITORIUM SITE vV .4.V., Location Now Occupied by At mson Trade School Ideal, and Unaffected by Zeigler Rule, Says Mr. Sinnott. f . Several Portland organisations 1 are " preparing to ' follow the lead of the Press club, In urainr more affgresslve , action 'on the part of the public audi ' torlum commission. There are Included -In the listf the Elks, the Commercial - club, the East Side Business Men's club, ' the Ad club, the Progressive Business .Meu's cluh, and the Kotary club. The Klks, are especially anxious that the 'auditorium be completed ready for the national convention next year. . Doubt was expressed . yesterday by ' Attorney C. C Hall, assistant secretary of the Bast Side Business Men's dub, a to whether the oommlsslon had been .guided by competent legal advice In Its assumption that the Zeigler amendment precludes use of the market block be ' oausj forbidding vacation of streets ad . Joining. The East Bide Business Men's olub supported the Zelglet amendment After examining its provision Mr. Hall asserted belief that while it forbade va cation of property to private Interests . it would not prevent the city from using the street adjoining the market block to extend the area upon which the audi ', torlum might be built - Bays One Block Enough. City Attorney Grant said yesterday that he had never been invited to give an opinion as to the manner in which the Zeigler amendment affects the vaca tion of streets for publlo purposes. He also seriously questioned the necessity of more than a block's area for the audi torium, ' ' ". "The 6alt Lake temple with Its great organ does not, I m sure, coyer more than JOO by 200 feet" "aid the city at torney, "yet it seats 12,000 people. "The White Temple in Portland cov ers less than 100 by 100 feet yet It seats nearly 6000 in the main auditori um, and there are in addition a number of smaller meeting rooms. "The Armory Is about 200 by 100 and look at the number It holds, incon veniently arranged as It Is. The Meier & Frank store occupies three quarters of a block, and think of the floor area it has. The Olds, Wort man & King store occupies a block and its floor area seems Immense. "The area of the one market block la 20,000 feet The building there erected could be -made to Include a vast audi torium and several smaller r meeting places. . The HelUg theatre. It will be remembered, is but 100x100. City Must Keep Pledge. '"It seems to me that if the auditorium "commission Intends to push the matter , of auditorium construction It will find the obstacles which have so far influ v enoed it but minor considerations. This city should not must not fall to keep Its pledge to have the public auditorium v ready for the Elks when they come In ; 19 12." William Sinnot of Slnnott eV Slnnott, asserted his belief this morning that j.tbe site of the Atkinson trade school bounded by Tenth, Eleventh, Couch and Davis streets, would be ideal for the auditorium. : "It is more than 2000 feet from the river, and thus outside the terms of the Zeigler amendment It is centrally lo cated, convenient to the Steel bridge, and the Broadway bridge when it shall have been completed. Th vacation of a street on. one side or the other will do no Injury to property. It Is-near the Washington street car lines, the Burn side lines, the Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth street lines. -, - ' . sits Called Ideal. "It Is much more aooertBible to ' the people ot the east side than would be the marjket block. It la but a short dis tance from the principal hotels. The Atkinson schools so dilapidated that soon It must com down. It seems to me and others who first called my at tention to the possibilities., that the At kinson school site Is ideal; and the prop erty belongs to the city." "It was suggested recently," oonltnued Mr. Slnnott "that the state and city Join forces and build a combined ar mory and publlo auditorium. ' If this were 'done, and the armory site, which is Just opposite the Atkinson sohool. were included,' it would give, an area 480 by 200 feet making a tremendous building. The state has recently bought a shooting ground on the Clackamas river, and to that point it is proposed that most of the. -artillery and other equipment be removed. -i; There would then be necessary only enough room to drill, It seems to me that the joining of forces would be profitable to both state and city, and solve the problem of sufficient publlo auditorium area," ' RAILWAY EMPLOYES TO HOLD PICNIC Preparations ara under way for the holding of the annual picnlo of the Brotherhood of Electric Railway Em ployes of the R. R. L. Sc. P.. company whloh will, take place at the Oaks Au gust 10. ; This annual picnic is by far the larg est of any of the picnics of the season, and the attendance will run from 10, 000 to 20,000.

FARMER PREPARING BIG IRRIGATION SYSTEM DEMOCRATS OFFER MILLER NOMINATION State Senator M. A. Miller, national Democratic committeeman, came' to Portland today from his horns In Le banon; Linn county, to spend a few days attending to business matters.

It Itched fo'lt seemed as It I should l craxy. It Drst came out in little pimples on my back and spread till it covered my whole body and limbs down to my knees, also my arms down to my el bows. Where I scratched, it made sorts, and th terrible itching and burn ing kept me from sleep ing. I tried several reme dies all to no purpose. Thea I concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment als the Resol vent, (or about four months, and they completely cured me of eczema. I bav had no return of the disease since. I never had a good night's rest after the skla eruption first broke out till I commenced using th Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had only used them a few days before I could see they were beginning to heal, and the terrible itching was gone. "Those that Uved m th house at the time know how I suffered, and how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me. I never take a bath without using the Cuticura Soap, and I do not believe there ars better remedies for any skla disease than the Cuticura Soap and Ointment."
