. THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1909. 11 COURT WILL PASS ON CITY LIGHTING Power Company Will Supply Current Pending Decision on Injunction Suit. SERVICE MAY END TONIGHT If Judge Gantcnbcln Rules Ajralnst Municipality, After Argurncnts This Afternoon, Arc Lamps "Will Not Be Turned On. Whether or not there will be lights on the streets of Portland tonight de pends upon the decision of Presiding Judge Gantenbeln. of the date Circuit Court, who will hear arguments on be half of the city and the lighting com pany at 2-o'clock this afternoon. The controversy has gone Into court on the application of City Attorney Kava naugh for an injunction, restraining the company from turning off the light. President Josselyn announced last night that he will not order the circuits cut out until the hearing on the Injunction prayer. If the Injunction Is not Issued, dark ness will prevail tonight, and people will be In Imminent dancer of death or Injury by Uiuks. This is the situa tion which follows the positive refusal of Mayor Lane and his K-tcutivo Hoard of seven members to follow tho advice of the City Attorney and negotiate to avert this crisis. "I'eniilnc the decision of the court, we shall not cut out the public light ing circuits." said president Josselyn last night. "No snap judgment will be taken by the company; we are cer tain, however, that there is ho cause for an Injunction, as there Is no state of martial law. a condition, as I un derstand it from our legal adviser, which must prevail before such a writ could Issue. I!ut. that there may be no appearance of unfairness, we shall await the outcome of tho arguments to be held during the afternoon." Gives Time for Injunction. It would be possible. It Is said, for the company to have proceeded at daylight this morning to cut out the public lighting circuits and get nheai of the injunction proceedings. An In junction being negative, the application on the rart of the city would have failed, had the company seen fit to take advantage of this fact. Knrly yesterday afternoon. Chief of Police firltzmacher and Fire Chief Campbell received word from President Josselyn that there will bo lights tonight, and both prepared for the emergency. Both Chiefs say their departments will not be handicapped very much, except that Chief Gritzmacher said If the darkness should continue long, there miirht h an influx of criminals, re- suiting In a reign of crime. Chief Campbell said he ca:i handle almost any kind of a flro about equally well without the street lamps burning. There Is a strong rumor that the underwriters may take a hand If the lights are turned off; It Is said that higher rates may be demanded for in surance. In snch Instance. , Case Introduced in Court. The temporary injunction, restrain ing the power company from shutting off the lights, was applied for by Mr. Kavanaugh yesterday afternoon. Judge Gantenbeln declined to Issue the In junction until the corporation has an opportunity to make a showing. Ar guments In the case will therefore be heard at 2 o'clock this afternoon. In the complaint against the corpora tion, signed by tne City Attorney and I'eputles Grant and Tomllnson. Mr. Kavanaugh states that he has tendered to the corporation officials the cash to ray for one monih' power, that of January. This wa at the rate of $63.60 a year for arc lamps, and 1 cents a month for lncandescents. But. he says, the company arbitrarily re fused to furnish the lights. If the power Is turned off he says It will work irreparable Injury upon the per son and property of the inhabitants of the city. . The complaint sJiows that the cor poration holds five franchises for light ing the cltv. two for maintaining nower plant's, and three for maintain ing poles and wires.

Cars without heaters are now being operated on the Mount Scott line and In consequence there is mu.-h complaint. Last night a petition prepared by O. N. ford and signed by about 60 business men along the line was forwarded to the State Railroad Commission. It sets forth that the suffering of the people compelled to use the Mount Scott cars at the present time is very great. Mr. Kord said that some of the cars on the Mount Scott line were heated, but that the company took these off that run fur the reason they were overcrowded. "It Is a very great hardship on young girls" said Mr. Ford, "to stand In one of the Mount Scott cars for over half an hour going to Portland or returning home during the present cold weather. There are waits along the line. W e un derstand that the Railroad Commlsion did order the company to use heaters on cars, but this has not been done. e are urglns the Commission to act at once and give us relief as soton as possible."

"I examined Dorando immediate ly after lie was carried from the track. His heart was in bad shape and he was in a state of total col lapse. In my opinion, the condition of his heart was due partly to over stimulation. His handlers gave him 6tuff from a bottle which they said was coffee. Even coffee taken in such quantities would be likely to affect his stomach and cause" his collapse. There wasn't a bruise on him to show that the fall did any damage." It has been a part of our mission to ex plain to people that the drug, caffeine, in coffee seriously affects the stomach, heart and nerves of some people (a good many). If you want health and the power to do things and win in the race for any kind of supremacy you better trim off the handi caps and coffee is one. It is joy of the keenest sort to be en tirely well.

CHEAP" PRESCRIPTIONS Cheap prescriptions are sometimes advertised and yet it is just as diffi cult for a layman to know whether the prescription he receives is cheap or expensive, as it w0uld be if he were purchasing a telescope, f or, the cheapest prescription in the world as to price may be the most expensive in its final result. All things being equal, a store fill ing the greatest number of prescrip tions can best afford to maintain the lowest schedule of prices. It costs us less to fill a prescription today than it did 40 years ago, because our busi ness is large enough to absorb the undivided time and attention of a 6killed force of men and to rapidly "turn over" the various drugs and preparations used In dispensing. We believe we have an advantage over most stores in the fact that our dis pensers are qualified, experienced, registered men, devoting their whole time to this responsible work. They are never interrupted while weighing out some powerful drug to wait upon a customer for postage stamps or while writing directions to furnish an impatient patron with a porous plas ter, but attending strictly to their specific duties, reduce thereby the op portunity for errors and confusion. "We have filled prescriptions for near half a century in Portland and every device, every convenience, every improvement which will simplify and expedite with safety this work we have adopted.
