The commercial bodies of Portland will probably unite in extending the reception and entertainment of the visitors, the Board of Trade and Commercial Club having; already started preliminary- ar rangements looking to suitable entertain ment of the excursion. . One suggestion made Is that the busi ness men of the city owning automobiles shall offer the use of thr machines and accompany the excursionists as guides for a trip about the city. This wilt serve the double purpose of providing trans pcrtatlon and present an opportunity to the merchants of the city to become personally acquainted In an intercourse with the visitors difficult to accomplish through any other plan. A special meeting of the executive com mittee of the Board of Trade has been called for Thursday afternoon to con sider plans for entertaining the Omaha business men and It is probable at that time some joint action will be proposed. Inasmuch as the several commercial bodies of the Middle West city ar to be represented In the party.' . As the excursionists will be here over Sunday on their first day In Portland. It is not probable that a formal recep tion will be extended on that day, but among the suggestions made at the board and club is that a breakfast be given on Monday forenoon or a lunch after the trip to points of interest.

Guild, Commissioner. TROLLEY ROADS TO FARMS Klectrle Lines May Displace Wagons In the Near Future. In his short talk Saturday before Lents Grange, A. F. Milter, the master, said that one of the Important Items of business that is coming up before the State Grange to be held at Hood River is a proposition that counties cease ex pending so much money on building county roads and construct trolley lines instead. Mr. Miller said the idea is new and will have to be discussed t horoughly before It assumes definite form. The plan, he said, would be for the county to build trolley lines through a district, selecting a central line, and ending It at the city, or market point. Thtn the farmers themselves would build their own roaifs to the trolley lines, bringing themselves into connec tion with the electric railways. These roads built by the farmers would not be wide or expensive ones, but feeders to the trolley lines. The electric rail ways would thus penetrate the rural districts in all directions and would be operated under the direction of the County Court, or its officers, for the benefit of the farming community. Moiiy-Jtha. is paid out constantly to build and maintain wide county roads would be used in the construction of these suburban railways instead. as there would no longer be need of the roads n,s now constructed, as the coun try trolley electric railways could be operated so cheaply that transporta tion would be so low that the ordinary methods of hauling by tpams over the roads would be discarded nearly alto getner, except between the farms and the trolley roads. Mr. Miller did not go into details as to the plans of construction and oper ation of county trolley lines, but he said that it was a subject that is re ceiving much attention from economi cal thinkers In this country, and that it would grow upon the thinking peo ple. "It would solve the problem of sub urban road construction to some ex tent," he said, "but how far could not be salfj at present. The tendency is toward the small farms and intensified farming, which would also tend to make the need of the country lines profitable. What action the State Grange is likely to take on this matter is not known - at present, but it will probably be referred to a committee for Investigation." CLYDE REED LEAVES O. R. & X. Goes to Canadian Pacific, Succeed ing A. Kelling. Clyde Tleed. chief clerk in the city ticket office of the Harrlman lines, has resigned his position to go with the Canadian Pacific Railway.

BENNETT IS IN A QUANDARY Aftermath of School Board's Conten tions With Builder Who May Xot Be Paid for His Work. At a meeting of the Board of Education yesterday it was ascertained that the Board has received more claims against Contractor J. E. Bennett than the aggre gate amount of money owed him for work done on city schools. Mr. Bennett held contracts for the erection of three additions to school buildings, and the claims that have been presented are rep resented to be for materials and service connected with this work. The Board is somewhat dubious of some of the claims, in that It is thought a portion of them may be for work done elsewhere by Bennett. Before any action is taken upon them. Architect Jones will carefully check them over to see that they are all connected with the school work. During the erection of the buildings Bennett and the Board had much, trou ble and at times the work was entirely suspended. As a result the structures were not completed until long after the dates set In the contracts and Bennett 1r subject to a large fine for delinquency. Whether this will be enforced will be decided at the next meeting of the Board. It is probable that the Directors will deal leniently with the contractor If, as is indicated, the claims for labor and material actually exceed the entire amount of the contracts. The Board awarded the contract for The cause of Rheumatism is a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought about by indigestion, chronic constipation, and the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural eliminative organs have failed to carry out. This refuse or waste matter ferments and sours, generating uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. One may also be born with a predisposition or tendency to Rheumatism, because like all blood dis eases it can be transmitted from parent to child. The aches and pains of the disease are only symptoms which you may scatter or relieve with lini ments, plasters, blisters, etc., or deaden with opiates. As soon, however, as such treatment is left off or there is any exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or constipation, the wandering; pains, sore muscles and joints, and tender places on the flesh return, and toe sufferer finds that he has merely checked the symptoms while the real cause of the disease remains in the blood. Rheumatism can never be cured while the blood remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by driving the cause out of the blood. It thor oughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. S. S. S. stimulates and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weakj sour stream, constantly depositing acrid and corrosive matter in the muscles, joints, nerves and bones, the body is soothed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining blood, which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed of roots, herbs and barks which possess both purifying and tonic properties just what is needed in every case oi Rheumatism. Book on Rheumatism and medical advice free, TEE .

The Board discussed the proposed in dustrial school and favored sending Su perintendent Rigler East next Fall to inspect similar institutions. By inquiry it has been found that Philadelphia is the only city in the United States where a trades school is linked with the public school system In the manner proposed in Portland. The -Directors say they will take no action towards the establishment of an industrial school before next De cember, when the matter will probably be presented for a vote at the regular taxpayers' meeting. ADVANCE IN OFFICE RENT Action of Marquam Owners Shows . City Not Overbuilding. Tenants of offices In the Marquam building have been notified of an ad vance in rentals, to take effect June ., The advance amounts to 30 per cent on former rates. The fact that so many new office buildings are rapidly be ing completed crested an impression that In the older buildings rents would be reduced rather than advanced, but thia proves not to be the case. - Despite the fact that these hew buildings provide so great an increase in the number of office rooms, they are not only taken as soon as ready for occupants, but the older - office buildings have a waiting list for space. The only explanation possible is that Portland is growing faster than even residents are aware of. unless a hunt Is made for office space or store-room. With reference -to the advance in the Marquam building, John K. Aitchi son, secretary of the . Title Guarantee and Trust Company said yesterday that based upon Cubic-yard space the rent als in the Marquam have simply been advanced to correspond with those of other office buildings of similar ad DRIVES OUT RHEUMATISM Agent PHONE vantages in point of looation and fa cilities. He also said the Increase was a matter of simple business necessity, as taxes and Insurance are higher, and valuations increasing. Mr. Altchlson said that while the company might lose a few tenants by reason of the advance there was a waiting list from which to draw, but that he did not look for many removals as one of the advantages buildings of this kind enjoy, is that tenants after being established for a long time In one place hesitate to leave. Regarding Im provements in building, Mr. Aitchison said that was a matter that would be considered by the board of his com pany. II. Wemme bought the half block on the west side of Seventh street from Burnslde to Couch several months ago, paying therefor $100,000. He has made a proposal to the City Council to sell the southwest quarter for $46,000. He reports that he has been offered $70,000 for the south quarter. Mr. Wemme says that an equally desirable quarter block can not be bought for less than $50,000. and as the ways and means committee is to advertise for offers for a suitable piece for the proposed new central station, the result will determine at what figures other owners hold avail able quarter blocks in that vicinity.
