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," '

from Sleeping. Cuticura Remedies
. Completely Cured Her, No Return.
"Three years ago this winter I had a
breaking out that covered my whole body.
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." (Signed) Mine Sarah Calkins,

Cuticura Soap and Ointment are for sale
throughout the world, but to those who
