count OF the diamond jubilee and the
impol tant historical events which 1t

Big newspapers and magazines
both east and west have given space
to II on account OF the important
part played by that locality in the ac-
QUESTION Of the great northwest by
the United States in 1884, Just rs
years ago.
The Portland Evening Telegram
of June 20, in commenting on the
matter, says: 1T will have been
Just as years since the first formal
flag raising in the Oregon country
and the place just named, Fort Hall,
near the present site OF Blackfoot,
Idaho, which the United States army
officers had selected for the garrison
the emblem of sovereignty was hoist
ed to the Flagstaff. and Rev. Mr.. Lee
invoked the divine blessing for all
who were to be protected beneath its
folds. That prayer was for Oregon,
and all that Oregon has done or win
do. 1t suggested the possible, which
has become real. That the future
may open still more amazing devel-
opments for the land which Rev. Mr..
Lee embraced within the limits Of his
petition that day, Is the belief OF ev-

to insure the petition from any at

also because of the further fact that
1t is realized that the election will
cost considerable money and that the
burden of paying it will rest upon

fact that there exists much uncer-

WHO OWNS STRIP
ON SHERMAN?
fit Belongs to Individual Buildings
Are on City Ground in Alley

Ever since the city council at its
last session Instructed City Attorney
Black to notify VIM. Dollar and his
contractor. Perry Smith, that the
stairway installed In front OF the
Exchange National bank building by
them, and which leads to the base
ment below and operates as an en-
trance to the o. X, barber shop must
be removed as It appropriated space
on the sidewalk belonging to the city,
and the walk put In its original con-
dition. considerable controversy has
arisen as to whether the strip OF
ground upon which the sidewalk Is
constructed belongs to the bank or
to the eiay. II Is contended by Mr.,
Dollar and also other property own
ers along Sherman street that 10 feet
OF the sidewalk belongs to the prop
erty owners--that 1t was never deed
ed 70 the city. and that the city can
exercise no Jurisdiction whatever oy-
er this strip OF ground. An examina-
ton OF the records fails 10 disclose
any instruments dedleating this strip
Of ground to the city by the property
owners, but the early pioneers OF the
city claims that many years back an
agreement was entered into between
the property owners and the city
whereby 10 feet OF ground on each
side OF sherman should go to the
city. aud lawyers OF ability state that
whether any dedication papers were
filed OF not that u is the property OF
the city.
The Agreement.
Originally sherman street was but
so feet in width and in order to make
It's width so feet. In the year 1899
or 81 an agreement was circulated
among the property owners on sher-
man by the terms Of which they were
to give to the city 10 feet Of their
property. making the street so feet
In width. This was with the eondi-
ton. II seems, that the city should
give to the property owners In re-
turn iiye feet from the alleys 10 the
rear of their property. The agree
ment, Il is said. was signed BY all Of
the property owners, presented to the
council. and is now part OF the files
OF the clerks once After its pre-
sentation TO the council an ordinance
was pasesd taking 10 feet from the
property owners lots on each side OF
Sherman, and giving in return to
each OF them five feet from the al.
leys TO the rear Of their property
This ordinance. II II stated. was In
valid. but whether II was or not. the
fact remains that the property own
ers awaited themselves OF the bene-
fits pnrported to be granted under It's
provisions. and the Exchange Ma

and the same Il true Of buildings Oh
the opposite side of sherman. The
property owners also permitted the
city to use the / o feet OF their prop
erty facing the street for sidewalk
and street purposes. and the city has
exercised absolute dominion over II
ever since.
