COUNCIL WILL NOT ACCEPT
NJ. p. GRADE SEPARATION
SCHEME IN PRESENT FORM,
SAYS PRATT.

The Northern Pacific Railway
Co. will find it hard shedding to
force upon the city it's grade sepa-
ration scheme in present form.
Pres. Pratt, Of the council, stated
positively this morning that the

the mayor and bridge committee.
1t is good enough for starter, but
the council will not consent to
close Browne, Division and Oak
SITS.
The Division st. scheme, 1t Is
claimed, may be remedied consid-
erably by the company if it will
expend more money. 1t plans now
to divide Division St and lower it
about seven feet. The real fight
will come if the company insists
that Browne st. be closed.

OREGON NEEDS
MORE HOLIDAYS

PORTLAND, Nov. 23-Although
no direct statement has been is
sued, the United Press is informed
authoritatively that Gov. Chamber
lain intends to continue calling
bank halidays for another week at
least. Today the governor stated
that he could see no reason why
holidays should be discontinued.
The situation is mending, but he
fears that sudden release from le-
gal restrictions might precipitate
an injudicious demand for money
by timid depositors, and feels it is
best to keep up the holidays until
banks and business houses are on
absolutely certain footing.

HOW MUCH DID
JOYCE COST

That the democratic members OF
the council will stand for Mayor
Moore's elevation Of Tom Joyce,
bartender, to the position of gen.
eral city inspector of weights and
measures with a fat salary attach
ed, is cOncdede about the city hall.
The defense of this attitude is a
belief that the mayor has attempt
ed peanut politics in the Joyce ap-
pointment In the expectation that
the council would save him by re-
fusing confirmation. 1t is conceded
that Moore promised Joyce an of.
fee in return for the support Joyce
was supposed to carry with the bar
tenders in the last election and in
future, and believed that he has
seemingly attempted to fulfill his
part of the agreement by naming
the bartender to one of the best
offices in his gift, at fat job that
has been created under the Moore
administration, it would SEEM
especially for Joyce if the mayor is
actually sincere in his choice. No
sooner had Joyce been named to
the place of inspector of scales
than movement was started to
pay him salary of $1,000 per
year, where the former inspector
had been receiving bat $500 OF
$500.
When the new ordinance design
ed to cover weighing of fuel and all
sorts of commodities is passed, it
is planned to swing Joyce into the
place. He is already supposed to
be a scale inspector, but is putting
in the most of his time lobbying
for the big job in prospect.
If the mayor stands by Joyce to
the extent of pushing him into the
Office he will probably find no diff.
Guilty in the council. Several mem.
bers have stated that they will do
nothing to prevent the mayor clasp
ing the tubby form Of Thomas in
fond political embrace. If the
mayor expects to strengthen him
self politically by this means they
say he is welcome to the expert
ment. What the democrats will
have to say in the matter will
come later at a time when ad-
verse action will be Of far more
Importance to the mayor.
This action cannot be excused on
such grounds, however, If it results
in placing Joyce in an office that
requires the best man the mayor
could select.
More light is thrown on the ques-
ton of how Joyce came to material
ize as a strong candidate in the
mayors favor. AS soon as the re-
publican city campaign headquar-
tiers were opened Joyce is stated to
have arrived thereat with the an
nouncement that he had been offer,
ed 5000 to swing the saloon vote for
Daggett, but would not accept it.
He repeated this until the Bartend-
ers' union suddenly descended upon
him and called him off. After that
Joyce operated individually, but
undisputably for Moore. Hence his
present opportunity for appoint
ment through the mayors delusion
that he amounted to something.
The democrats, however, claim
that Joyce demanded $500 from
them and failing to get it. went
over to Moore. For that he is now
supposed to be reaping the prom.
ised reward through having the
mayor in corner.
The whole proposition is a nasty
thing for Mayor Moore. nearly as
bad as his celebrated trip East at
the time the pool room ordinance
was repealed. He has even less
excuse for the attempted imposi
ton OF Joyce.
