'I 'SOVIET RUSSIA' "It isn't any worse from the law's standpoint to ten the magazine "Soviet Russia" on tha street without a license than it is to Sell a newspaoer." decreed Circuit Judge Tazwell this morning in dismissing the case of the city against Konert .Brunner. Brunner was found selling copies of tne magazine on the street and haled before the municipal judge, where he waa found guilty of not having a license and sentenced to 23 days in Jail. B.

She leased the property to Berg for $1500 a month, who now has subleased it to the Sweet Sixteen company for $2500.

MRS MAHONEYS BODY IDENTIFIED (OonHnfind From Pig One) pauses in hia praise to sound a waning against tha havoc of the motor lorrie. England has sees the heavy truck traf fic on Its highways, an outgrowth very largely Of the wear, tear its highways down, unta. profiting from the lesson they taught, the highways of the mother country are now being laid with II Inch foundations to stand the strain the mod ern motive-vehicles put upon them. Tae visitor has been perplexed, he says, to see the downtown streets of Portland lined with automobiles parked along the curb. That is not done la London, and would sot be allowed. The time will come, he predicts, when car here, as there, will be permitted to pause to load and unload, but not to stay along the curb line. Mr. Williamson long has had a friend ly interest in Portland, he says. He re members the town aa he first saw it 42 years ago. Ha ia proud of the growth it has made, and of the fact that his firm, the only grain concern that has weathered the vicissitudes of that long period, has had a part In the growth. But he insists that Portland has closed Its eyes too much to the markets of Europe, waiting at the farther end of its ea lanes for the commerce that could. and should, flow back and forth across the sea. He foresees the great growth of that commerce in the future and he contends that Portland has been builded upon so solid a foundation that its growth will be steady and sure.

ON BM SEWER JOB IS OPPOSED city la to put ea a bltunimous redress, Tha section between Fifty-second and Seventy-second la to be treated in the same, manner later. Residents of the Willamette Heights section. Incensed at what many consider an unjust saddling of the cost of the Balch creek conduit upon the property' owners of the entire district. wCl meet at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday night for discussion of the project and endeavor to reach a decision upon the course to pursue. C. WV Hod son, chairman of a special committee of the Willamette Height association, announced today that few residents of tha district realised what tha city waa contemplating in the way of the Improvement until they received notice that the cost would be assessed against them. "Balch creek, a natural waterway that drains a vast watershed on the heights, is being impounded into a concrete con duit which will carry the water to the river," explained Hodson. The situation was precipitated last winter when some of the filled in land in the gulch showed signs of slipping. Soundings were made and efforts to stop the slip led to the de cision to carry the waters away not through the natural channel but through this artificial conduit "We who live on the heights will not be benefited in the slightest by this. People Included in the district as far east as Twenty-sixth street would not be benefited. Only those who were un fortunate in their purchases of real es tate on this filled land will be benefited. but the city proposes to make all of us bear the cost "We have no objection to paying; our share for the storm sewer or for the sanitary sewer because we realize that all will benefit in some degree, at least But we do object to being assessed on this plan to make all of the distrust pay for somebody s mistake in Judgment Hodson said he had appointed several committees to make a study of the sit uation and these will make their reports at the Thursday meeting. 3TEW WOM OH FOSTPn HO AD IS PLASHED BT OFFICIALS Details were arranged today for the improvement of the Foster road in conference between Commissioner Bar bur of the department of publio works and Roadmaster Eatchel, representing the county.
