Buys Site of Forestry Building. After a short wrangle yesterday the city council passed on ordinance ap propriating 3 i 4,000 to purchase two acres of ground as a site for the forestry building at the Lewis and Clark exposition. In nil probability Mayor Itne will sign the ordinance, says the Oregon Dally Journal. Coun cllmen Kushllght. Kellaher, Sharkey and Menefee opposed the purchase of the building, contending Hint the 114. ouo could be expended In some other channel that would be of greater benefit to the people. When they saw that they would be defeated they attempted to reduce the appropria tion to 310.500, which would purchase only one and one-half ucres of land, which they said would be sufficient. They failed lo carry this point and then attempted to postpone action for two weeks, but this also failed.
