Are the property owners of Main
and Court streets going to reverse
themselves and demonstrate against
street paving for which they petition
ed the council a short time ago? This
is question that has been asked fire.
quently all over the business portion
of the city since yesterday, and the
answer will be known in a few days.
Remonstrances for both Main and
Court streets have now been prepared,
and were circulated to some extent
yesterday afternoon by ]. Ross Dick
son. Others besides him who seem
active in opposing the Improvement
are 7. C. Taylor and DR.. F. w. Vim
cent. AS to what success Mr.. Dickson
will meet with in circulating his re-
monstrance remains to be seen. But
in general the property owners OF
modest means are favorable to paving
and will not demonstrate. Among
those of this class who have express
ed themselves are ]. F. Robinson, v.
Stroble, c. C. Hendricks, G. A. Rob-
bins, Joe Ell, B. F. Rem, East Ore
gonian Publishing company and
others. George Darveau, of the Hotel
st. George, is strongly in favor of paw
ing, and John Schmidt is said to he
the same.
However. some of the larger prop
erty owners, among whom are both
Messrs. Dickson and Taylor, are OPP
posed to the councils action. While
these men are few in number they
represent large frontages which count
on a remonstrance. Should W. f.
Matlock and the o. r. & n. company
be persuaded to demonstrate, it would
greatly help in blocking the improve
ment. Mr.. Dickson is said to have
already approached the railroad peo-
pie on the subject.
Actual Cost of Paving.
In view of the opposition which
some property owners make to paving
q comparison of the cost of paving
with the monthly rents will be inter
esting. 1t is estimated that it viii
cost 5000 for a 25-foot front, and ir
many instances this means but two
months rent. For the better loca
tions on Main street 500 per montf
is the price for 25-foot room. Th'
five rooms on the west side of Mail
street belonging to Jacob Betz brin'
this revenue, while the Californi;
Wine G. Liquor company pays s125
month for its room. The lower floo
:, of the John Schmidt building, a 10
foot front, rents for $500 per month
and consequently it would take les
than two months rent of the entir
building to pay for paving. The Hen
bricks building Is also a good payin
structure, and Mr.. Hendricks state
!, that he could pay for his part of tn
paving with but one months rent
Mr.. Hendricks declined to sign tn
remonstrance when 1t was presente
i, by Mr.. Dickson.
The Peoples Warehouse building
/, which belongs to the Dicksons, is re
garded as one Of the highest price
locations in the city.
Counciimen Stand Firm.
According to members of the cour
Gil they are going to stand firm in tn
. position they have taken and tn
streets will be paved unless the ma
=, ter be blocked by sufficient RI
monstrance. Should the owners
two-thirds the property .remonstra
% the council could not proceed.

as the bugeye NJ Blanch Hayward was
coming up the river with cargo OF grain

White House. with the Baltimore tug De-
flance. The Hayward was sunk, and re-
manned on the bottom for week or more
before she was raised and towed to Alexan-
dria, where she was rebuilt. Her cargo OF
grain was so badly damaged by water as
to be unfit for use. The United States steam
boat inspectors made an investigation OF
the accident and Monday wst Capt. Edward
P. Snyder, who commanded the Defiance at
the time of the accident, was notified by
the inspectors that he had been acquitted
of all blame for the accident. the inspectors
holding that from the evidence the master
of the Hayward was to blame for the
trouble.
The Hayward is in service the Poto-
mac now and 1t is understood her owners
have entered suit against the owners of tho

YALE BEAT OUT
GEORGETOWN BOYS

The Sons of Eli (Yale) took revenge upon
Georgetown yesterday afternoon for their
defeat of last Thursday. Score: Yale, 81;
Georgetown, ). Cantwell who up to the
present time has had little trouble in keep
ing the hits of the visiting collegians scat
tered, seemed to have lost his ability to
fool the visitors and that to a great ex-
tent accounts for the loss of the victory by
the Blue and Gray At the close of the
seventh inning the score stood 5 to 3 in
Georgetown's favor. but after Yale had fin
ished their batting streak the score had
been tied, and all of the time Parsons, who
was on the slab for Yale, seemed TO be get
ting better each moment when the matter
of striking out the local batsmen Is con-
sidered. The Blue and Gray rooters
cheered time and again but the roofing
was of no avail as Georgetown was un-
able to respond and the victory went to
their opponents after the full ten innings
had been played. When the ninth inning
went by with each side having a score OF 5,
many leaned back in their seats and re-
marked that another eleven-inning game
or longer was about 70 be played. But
| they had their opinions somewhat changed
when Yale went to the bat and before the
close of their half of the inning had D led
up three runs. In their half of the inning
the Blue and Gray did the best they could.
but the effort was unayaling. In this last
inning Larry brennan went into the box
| for the locals Simon. who placed the ball
over The bank in deep center field Monday
afternoon surprised 'em all yesterday by
sending a long fly TO deep center field
/ which again netted the locals a home run.
Yesterday Yale started things off by taking
| liberties with CantwelPs delivery in the
| first inning In the shape of two hits by the
| first two batsmen up-O' Brien and Mad
| den. The next two men went out.
| OBrien scored on Scheller's error or
| Camps slow hit to short. Georgetown in
/ the third and fourth innings managed to
| get Deviin across the rubber. and Simon's
! four hit made the score stand . to

| cations the Blue and Gray had cinched an
