M.. BELIEVES III . ADVERTISING WILLIAM M'MCRRAY SECURES ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION. R. SI. Hall, Advertising Agent ot O. R. & N. and Southern Pa cific, to Be Given Assistant. Probably there has never been a man at the head of the passenger department of the Harriman lines In this state who was such a firm believer In the merits of ad vertising as William McMurray. general passenger agent for the affiliated lines. It will be his policy to extend the advertising rfeoajrtment and bring this branch of the service up to its highest possible effi-e-.ency. That the work may not be hampered by the lack of an adequate appropriation. Mr. McMurray made this question a spe cial matler when in Chicago recently in attendance at the family" meeting of heads of departments of the Harriman system. He was so urgent in his repre sentations to the head of the traffic de partment that he was successful in ob taining authorization for an additional man in the advertising office. The work of advertising the Harriman roads in the far West and th country which they serve is growing by leaps and bounds, and another man, to work under the direction of R. M. Hall, advertising agent, is badly needed. Tons of illus trated reading matter are sent out by the advertising office during the year, not only to every corner of the United States, but to all parts of the world as well. In quiries are often received from distant parts of the world about Oregon. Yester day a letter reached Mr. Hall from Aus tralia in which the writer asked to be sent a Harriman publication descriptive of the Northwest. Some idea of the volume of advertising matter sent out by Mr. Hall's office may be gained from the fact that on one day last week a huge shipment of Harriman publications was mailed that cost the system H60 in postage.

Mrs. Riggs Is Broken Into and Trunks Ransacked. Judge Dismisses Case. Edna Scholes, a pretty girl, 10 years old, is not a burglar. She was accused by Mrs. Riggs of having entered her house, on Mississippi avenue, Friday last, but, after a hearing yesterday in the Juvenile Court, Judge Frazer acquitted the child. Mrs. Riggs returned home on Friday at 5 o'clock and on nearing her domicile ob served a child about the size of Edna walking away. She did not identify Edna as this child except as to height. Enter ing her house, Mrs. Riggs found trunks broken open and things scattered about and articles of jewelry and handkerchiefs missing. A strange circumstance in the case was that a satchel containing keys and an in vitation addressed to Edna was found by Mrs. Riggs on a table In the latter"s house. The Scholes family admitted the ownership of this satchel. Mrs. Scholes, however, testified that her house was broken Into two weks ago and this satchel and another and various articles were stolen. She said she reported the burglary to Detective Snow and Officer Giddlngs. M. J. MacMahon, who appeared as at torney for the defense, stated that bad boys were the guilty ones, and they left the satchel stolen in the Scholes house in the Riggs residence, either by mistake or design. Mrs. Kobersteln testified that she dressed Edna Friday morning and Edna then went to visit Mrs. Lacey, with whom she spent the day. Mrs. Lacey corrob orated this statement. Many women neighbors were present in court to testify In favor of the child, but were not called. Judge Frazer declared her Innocent and dismissed the case. Edna entered a gen eral denial and told a straightforward story. She was well clad and Is intelli gent. Her mother Is a clairvoyant and palmist, and is known by the professional name of "Wanda."

Price Is Cheaper, and Snperintend ' ent Dodge - Says They Are Successful in Seattle. Wooden water mains instead of cast Iron pipes, will be considered by the Water' Board. Mayor Lane and others are of the opinion that perhaps the city can be saved quite a sum of money by the purchase of wooden mains, as was brought out yesterday at a meet ing of the Water Board. "I don't understand why good wooden stave mains wouldn't be a good thing, and I think we could obtain them much lower than the cast iron ones," said the Mayor. "If they are as good as the cast iron mains, a new local industry could be built up in Portland." Superintendent Dodge and others stated that in Seattle wooden mains had been successfully tried and all ex pressed chemselves as believing- It to be a good thing to learn some more particulars relative to this piping. Su perintendent Dodcre said that if the I wood la saturated with water It will be preserved Indefinitely, but that as soon as the dampness begins to leave the rot seta In." Superintendent Dodge was author ized to advertise for bids for 800 feet of . six-inch mains, which will cost about $3500. He stated that he had nearly 22,000 feet of eight-inch mains on hand. Authorization for the pay ment of $89 demurrage fees on a ship menc of cast iron mains was made. Gleblsch & Joplin and Packett, the contractors for the Highland pipe line, refused to pay the S9. The Water Board will deduct the money from the contract price when payment Is due, LUMBER ' PRICES STAND No Increases Will Be Made Pending Trust Investigation. i SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2 It Is stated on good authority that there will be no further raises in lumber prices until the Investigation into the so-called lumber trust has been completed by United States District Attorney Devlin.
