BIDS ON GARBAGE PLANT AUTHORIZED IN BEHALF OF CITY The city council Wednesday morn ing: passed ordinances enabling Com missioner Bigelow j to receive pro posals for the construction and op eration of a suitable garbage dis posal plant.

That belief was based upon a thrilling dream in which Hyttinen saw .himself drown ing and which he had described to his chum, August Wiida, of S00 East Thirteenth street. . . Wlida was so impressed by the story that when Hyttinen " left the ' Jogging operations at Kalama.' where both were employed, he became so depressed . that he followed him to Portland. Hearing Tuesday that someone had been drowned he . told the harbor patrol ; that it could be none else than Hyttinen. In the meantime police inspectors are trying to learn " who actually was drowned. Mr. afid Mrs. Walter Johnson of 600 Flynn street were among others on the beach watching the bathers when they saw a man disappear in the water. No report was made because they said they supposed some friend of the- unfor tunate would report it. City Grappler Brady dragged the river all day Tues day without avail. Some underclothes similar to Hyttlnen's, and a pair of socks, were found on the beach, but no outer garments. The quest was aban doned Wednesday morning. "Three weeks ago Friday. Emil and me were working on the boom at Kal amar said Wiida. "In the early morn ing he woke me up and said that he was drowning. He said he saw the Wil lamette river and that he was going in swimming ; that , he was to be drowned three weeks from that date. When he quit I followed him to' Portland, an found him Thursday. He stayed that night with me. He left Friday morning and when Sunday came I started to look. for him. I thought of the dream. "I hunted up Tyrue Jarvi. 738 Michi gan avenue, and was told that, the Johnsons had seen Hyttinen drown." Harbormaster Speier chanced to meet Wiida Wednesday afternoon and was told that his friend had returned, safe and sound.
