ALTA STREET OWNERS HAVE HEW SCHEME WANT WHOLE STREET LM PROVED OR NONE Owners Affected Kick on Two Dlocks District and Say Council Should He Consistent With OKI Promise. Fp in arms over what they term the ridiculous move of the council in or dering the pav'.ng of only two blocks of East Alta street, property owners along that thoroughfare are now busy with a scheme of their own. In brief this scheme calls for the pav'ng of Alta street through to the intersection with East Court er else for no paving at all. If the insurreetoes have the situation sized up correctly they will be able to win out. Among those who arc wriihy over the two block itr.i T.-v-"nent dis'rict are practically all the owners between Main and Johnson streets. T. J. Tweedy is a l;.-ad.r in th" n; vv'and ot'.eis v.ith iiim arc C. S. Wheeler, Dr. T. M. Henderson and H. M. Sloan. Speaking, of the matter today Mr. Tweedy sa d: "When Main street was paved the propirty owners on Alta street be tween Main and Johnson wanted to have these two blocks paved, but the council refused to order the improve ment saying that if those blocks were paved the re-t of the street would never be paved. They hob back the paving so as to hr ug in' the whole street and now after four years they have ordered only two blocks paved. We will get up a petition calling for the improvement of Alta street through to the intersection with Court. If we cannot improve tho whole street we will remonstrate against improving the two blocks." At the instance of Mr. Tweedy, City Attorney Raley has promised to draft a p'tition asking for the improve ment of the entire st- et. It is said that the petition will "f.nd many sign ers and if 21 per cent of the people on the street ask for the improve ment the council may order it. Among those who will be most heavily assessed by the paving of East Alta will be the Ryers milling com pany, the county, the Oregon lumber company. Presbyterian church and Sam r.itner. owner of the Alta House. It is understood the milling company is opposing the improvement. The county stands ready to meet its share of the expense, according to County Judge Maloney. Tho Presbyterian church people are anxious for the im provement and It :s said the lumber company is willing, as are also some of the Individuals owning homes along the street. If a sufficient number ef property owners sign the petition for paving the street, tho matter will be placed before the council for action and that body will have a chance to add a few nunc blocks to its paving list. - HOURS untKVir i hi i r Aiinr I mir OlinilhA f F- nFillllAPII LAW lb dUSIAINtU!

FREIGHT CREW ALSO BEAMED Train With Which Motor Col lided Was Off Time and Re quired Flagman THREE MEN SUSPENDED FROM RAILROAD SERVICE Investigation at Stanricld Saturday Drought Forth Censure for Conduc tor Ray and Engineer Crabbill at Well as For Motor Engineer. (Special Correspondence.) Stanfiedd, Ore., May 29. Saturday an Investigation of the cause of the collision tetween freight train No. 54 and the motor car, which occurred at Stanfield Friday evening, was held here by Superintendent Wm. Bollins, Assistant Superintendents Coykendall and Dick Buckley, and Mr. Ladd. The testimony of both train crews was considered -by an investigation com mittee consisting of Colonel H. G. Newport of Hermiston and Frank Sloan and L. S. Scea of Stanfield.. It was brought out that the run ning time of the freight trains from Hermiston to Stanfield Is 30 minutes and, allowing- five minutes fur clear ing the track, getting onto the s'da track, 35 minutes is usually allowed for this run. Friday evening freight train No. 56 east bound left Hermls- . ton 31 minutes before the time that the motor was due to leave Stanfield west bound, making it necessary for the freight to make up four minutes. This was not accomplished, however, and before the freight could get onto the side track the motor came al ong and they met head-on. The investigation committee after carefully weighing the testimony and the conditions surrounding the case rendered their opinion th.ct Conduc tor Ray and Engineer trabill of freight tnin No. were guilty of violating rule No. 8 7 which makes it ii.nmibcnt upon them under such conditions to flag any train that may be approaching from the opposite di rection. Engineer Carpenter was considered by the committee as be ing guilty of violating rule no 504 which prohibits the passing of a block signal which indicates that another j train is in the block. Engineer Car penter's defense was that he was bus. ily engagfd with the machinery and that otherwise he would have seen jthe block signal. It is understood that i a motor car will lie sent tip from j Portland at once to replace for a time the damaged car which will be sent to Portland for repairs. All Are Now Out. It is known in local railroad cir cles today that all three of the men censured for the accident. Conductor Ray, Engineer Crabill and Engineer Carpenter are now out of the railroad service. How long they will be out remains to be seen, but there is a disposition to consider that their sus pension will prove temporary. Conductor Cherry was not affected by the investigation and brought the motor substitute train to the city yes terday. Perby Week in England. London. "May 20.
