BELIEF IS If SIGHT Far East Side Districts Will Have, Water System. PARTIAL REPORT IS MADE Chlcr Engineer Clarke Outlines the "eeda of Territory Affected and " Board Will Go Ahead Pave ments Not to He Torn Up. People livlntr in the Mount Scott. Sell wood. Woodstock and Kenilworth dis tricts will have relief from the water famine with Thlch they have been bat tling for years, for the Water Board yesterday afternoon signlfled Its inten tion of installing necessary mains to bring about this result. Chief Engi neer Clarke submitted a partial report as to the needs .of the communities mentioned and as to the expense of the system, which he said will reach as hljrh as perhaps J75.no. and will not be under t.-.0.'U. He was given further time In which to complete a report. Many citizens from the districts named were present to seek relief from tne Mayor and members of the Board, and after a report from Kngineer Clarke was read, it was announced by some they would prefer to await the installa tion of a perriianent system Instead of having a temporary makeshift, such as connection with the Woodmere or some other private water works. This reply was given to a question by Mr. Wilcox, who asked whether It would be wise to give immediate relief through some such method. "It has been agreed." said O. X. Ford, of Stewart's Station, in the Mount Soott district, "that, much as we need relief, we would prefer to wait. If the Hoard can see its way clear to give us a sub stantial and permanent water suplly." Mr. Wilcox then lyoved the adoption of the report of Kncmeer Clarke, which carried, and as soon as the complete retioit. wiUi the recommendation, is submitted, the lionrd will take action to Install the mains necessary to fur nish the proper water supply. A report from Kneineer Clnrke rec ommending a 12-inch main from the Portland Heights reservoirs to Fulton, costing $:ii.f"rt, was submitted. Mayor Simon and members of the Board were uncertain as to the necessity for this large outlay of funds in a district which is not advancing so rapidly as some others, and It was referred to Messrs. Wilcox. Ainsworth and Mackay for in vestigation. This is a project in which Councilman Helding Is deeply interest ed, and he will co-operate with the committee. The Board Is adhering strictly to the policy of laying no mains where hard surface pavements have been laid. Res olutions to rescind proceedings lor the installation of pipes in hard-surfaced streets are adopted in every instance, and the mains ordered laid elsewhere. . It is to be a distinguishing character istic of the Simon administration to cut no hard-surface pavements for lay ing pipes. MR. GESMER AGAIN. He Offers a Few Additional Remarks on a Favorite Topic. SALEM. Or. Aug 9 iTo the Kdltor.) The Orefronlan'ji criticisms of my fupgtion lor an assembly of Republicans who favor dlrot nominations and direct election of Vntted States Senators, so that those who favor the observance of our present laws may not be beaten through having their votes scattered among several candidates, only serve to Increase my belief that those who favor direct methods shall concentrate their votes In opposition to those who favor usinjr the assembly plan to subvert the very law that provides both the assembly plan and direct primaries. ftetng a long -time reader of The Ore-j-onfan. I know the work It has done In poll tics usually along lines of sound sense, economic wisdom and patriotic endeavor and so I am cure your paper has the same purposes in view that 1 have In common with thousands of other Republicans who favor direct methods In politics. I am sure you desire the well-heir of our state and Nation Just as I do. The points of differ ence between all pood citizens are merely methods of dotntr thmss and getting results fio It is at Etrvsent. I prefer the present direct system. In spite of the fact that several men I desired to see successful were beaten, because it represents the popular will, which ought always to be respected1, and must be. to maintain representative govern m en t. And I recall that The Oreponian used to be much worse put out over Senatorial elections (as I was than It is at present Your paper used to "shriek' (pardon my use of your word more loudly hen Senator Mitchell was chosen by retting "Democrats in the Legis lature to come to his support than It does now when Chamberbitn gets Republican votes in such an election. And I, too. was disgusted with a system which enabled lemocrat to elect a man whom the Re publicans as a partv would not. Also you were deeply displeased when Mr. McPride was chosen, and I was not pleased, for I continued to vote fr Senator Dolph to the last. Also, you were greatly displeased when Mr. Simon wan chosen Senator, under a system that prevented popular choice. I was not displeased, for I knew Mr. Simon's capacity and worth then as The Orecontan has but recently discovered it. These thtnrs are recalled to point out that few of us are satisfied unless we can "have thin our way. And the fact that a "Democrat gets the popular vote in Repub lican Ore con mervly shows how exceptional a vote-getter a man now nnd then becomes, by so condu.-tlne himself In office as to win public approval. I supported the Republican nominee (Vr Take) mASt cordially, but from one or two sentences in your editorial I fear vou gave a vote to Mr iTiamberlaln. as dd many other Republicans in Multnomah, fatscp and llarion Counties, who helped to give tut a Pemocratlc Senator. ( The editor ct The Oregonian voted for Mr. Cake.) Sow I cordially favor representative gov ernment. That Is why I am for direct pri maries ar.d a ticket of men uJedged to up hold direct legislation and direct nomina tion. AVhen people vote for a man to rep resent them, they have a representative. Tn T.rislrt'ires the me-nber used to vote for Senator from a variety o? reasons often for boo ! le and offit c and I know as well as anv man In this state the pressure and al lurements mVd out to Induce members to viclate their consciences. It was not "rep reaer.tatl vc government. and the system was cast out of our politics because the people of Orecon learned that It pave repre sentation to interests and corporation, not tf, people. T'p this wsv our voters are In telligent they read The Oreponian and they have not forsrntten disclosures In a criminal case In the Vnited States Court, w hen testimony showed that one of our Vnited State senators received a regular months salarv from a or.sr'ciwus rallwav corporation. Our present Senators, chosen by the people, will never be In that plight Your editorta' !n Sundays OromaTi ugust MM has for Its opening raragraftl some sentences that are excellent. I quota from yoi:r editorial: What is most democratic Is what makes most for the permanence of democracy that Is. for Its real welfar-e Tt Is the representa tive system alone which wIM realise the actual supremacy of the people." Orepon now has the actual supremacy of her people. They e'ect whom they pleas, make what laws they please, and reject such officers or measures as they disap prove. And they evidently Intend to retain the powers they now possess. Now a fact or two. Tn the last state elec tion, tl-.e people of Oregon by a vote of 1 yvi to 21 1 - passed a law ordering the Lepislatttre to ele,-t that candidate for Sen ator who should receive the popular vote. The overwhelming majority for this law tn every county of the state shows the spirit of our peop.. There, vera- 1 measures to CS VOiea vu, 3 e ma iw w buh"- -- principle of direct election of Senators re ceived a greater vote and a greater majority than any of the other measures. Our people have had enough of the corrupt old method of choosing Senators, and I do not doubt that they Intend to uphold the direct elec tion of enatora, through the plain methods of Statement No. 1 and the statutory law adopted by popular vote to make it effec tive. Another fact: The vote In Oregon for William H. Taft for President was a heavy vote, yet It Is thousands less than cast at the preceding June for direct election of Senators The opposition vote to the latter, SI. 162. 1 one-third the vote given to presi dent Taft: so If the entire 21.000 votes against direct choice of Senators was cast by Republicans alone, it would leave twice that many Republicans who favor the law to require the Legislature to elect the Sena tor horn the people have chosen. In faca of the overwhelming facts. It is proposed to nullify our laws through use of the "assembly ", system to put up men op. posed to direct election of Senators. 1 be lieve it mav be necessary at times to "fight the devil With fire.- so I want to see also n "assembly" of Republicans in favor o. upholding our laws, so we may have candi dates for leading offices and for the Legisla ture who will contest in open primaries with such awemblv candidates as are in favor of return to the system that the people of Oregon have so. signally disapproved. ALON'.O GESXER. The objections presented by The Ore grmlan to the primary law, operating without (ruidance of representative assem blies, are not met In the least, nor even considered, in this communication. Its statements are Irrelevant to The Orego nian's remarks, and indeed to the whole matter. But it is the custom of this Journal to give all sides a hearing. To the demonstration, so fully made hereto- TJMPQUA VALLEY 1 J - - ' a , 7-T?r- i - . ; . . a -i .. . v .-. :e S : , ' V . 1 ' .- tiiuZm-':. --::-S.-" - " - I'-'a PPLF.

None is possible. For there is no representative government In it. Was Bourne a "repre sentative" of the people or of his party, when he couldn't get and didn't get in the primary more than one-fourth of the Republican vote alone? Chamberlain likewise his vote in the primary was nothing: yet he won through a Juggle, which drove thousands of Republicans to vote for him, throuph disgust: and Statement One another Juggle did the rest. No quarter is to be given to this Jockeylsm hereafter. Men who can't get the substantial vote of their- party in the primaries won't get tt in the election. The system completely destroys party, as an Instrument, and renders nugatory turns to foolishness all sincere and dis interested political effort. Speaking for Itself, The Oregonlan declares its resolve to have none of It hereafter; and if there can be no rational or representative or ganization of party or politics. The Oregonian simply will go it alone. The Oregonlan has been informed that Mr. Gesner, who was a factor in the so-called "machine" in his county, lost favor some how with his fellow members, and now is "down on" all organization. TWO POLICEMEN WANTED Mount Sc-ott Will Also Ak for Fire Protection. The Mmmt Scott district will ask for police and fire protection. In the matter of police protection the citizens want a day and night policeman appointed. A mounted officer is wanted for the day owing to the extent of territory to be covered, and at night one man is con sidered sufficient. His territory would be mainlv along the Foster road between the Powell valley road and Tremont sta-' tion, a distance of about two miles. For fire protection a chemical engine, with paid employes, will be asked for. At present a small hand chemical engine doe duty in that district, but it must be handled by men who are employed dur ing the day and who must give their services free of charge. The water sup ply is so short in the district that a fire once started usually burns everything at hand, although the volunteers do all they can wtth the facilities at their command. "We do not expect to get all these things at once, or very soon." said O. N. Ford, "but we do expect to get them after a time, and are willing to pay our taxes and bear our share of the bur dens of being In the city." A large number of new buildings hav just been completed on the Foster road, and the district has a W5.000 schoolhouse.

She will be due off the mouth of the Columbia the latter part of February and will figure with the March fleet, outward bound. Grain tonnage en route to the Co lumbia River now amounts to 94,689 net tons register. This Is a trifle less than the tonnage on the list at the same time last year. The majority of the craft headed for Portland are for load ing prior to January 1. and there are a number of spot ships to be had in case of an emergency or an unlooked-for shortage In available ships for Spring loading. The Marthe Roux carried grain out from Portland in the season of 1907-8. She cleared from this port January 8, 1908, with a full cargo of wheat for orders.

MEM'S BIS Quality in Experience Experience is a thinx of quality as well as quantity. Years in practice are no true measure of a physician's skill. Medical spe cialists, as a rule, give prominent mention to the number of years they have devoted to the practice of the various specialties. In this regard I do not differ from most other specialists. I frequently state that I have treated men only for 25 years. This is a thingr of importance that can be told In a few words. That's why I tell It so often. The thing I now wish to tell about requires more space in telling, and I may or may not tell it. more than this once. Experience isn't worth much unless It has quality in it. In fact, it isn't worth any thing. It is just like all other bad things the greater the quantity the more badness there is. I do not mean this as a personal reference to anv other doctor, whetner gener- al practitioner or specialist. I merely make the statement because It is the truth that has application here. To do a thing wrongly a thousand times onlv fits one for doing It wrongly again, and the ol'tener he does it wronglv, the less apt he is to do it rightly. To treat a thousand patients indifferently or carelessly doesn't make skill, but it adds Indiffer ence and carelessness. To treat a thousand patients thoughtfully, care fully and conscientiously develops sktl, a thing of value to the physician himself, and to everv patient he may treat thereafter. This Is experience of quality. It is a kind of experience that I have been constantly ac quiring for 25 years. I have carried no moss-grown theories or methods with me. utners may cling to theories I prefer truths. I hnye put thought and study into all my work that I might ascertain the truth and make my treat ment scientific. I have felt a personal interest In the welfare of my patients, and have treated them carefully and conscientiously. I have studied each case I treated. I have learned the truths that I have sought, and have made my treatments scientific. I attempt to cure only those cases that I am positively certain that I can cure, and the dis eases that I can cure and do cure are all diseases peculiar to men. I am able to cure them because of the quantity and quality of my experience. You Can Pay When Cured Contracted Disorders He sure your cure is thor ough. Not one of my patients has ever had a relapse after be ing' di&charged as cured, and I cure in less time than the ordi nary forms of treatment require. Specific Blood Poison No dangerous minerals to irive the virus to the interior, but harmless, blood - cleansing remedies that remove the last poisonous taint. Obstructions My treatment is absolutely painless, and perfect results can be depended upon in every in stance. I do no cutting- or dilat ing whatever. Consultation and Diagnosis Free I do not charge for advloo. examination or diagnosis. If you call for a private talk with me, you will not be urged to begin treatment.
