'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

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. A. areen. attorney for Brunner,

filed tn circuit and heard by Judge Taa-
weu, who threw the case out of court

Mr. Williamson long has had a friend

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

the sea. He foresees the great growth
of that commerce in the future and he
contends that Portland has been builded

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.
