"1 u hot enough for rouT" If that foolish question was asked in the streets of Portland yester iv It was asked 10.000 times. At that, yesterday was the warmest day of the season, the thermometer at I o'clock In tho afternoon registering a temperature of 7 deareos. exreedlnK that of the preceding day by exactly decrees. Lacking the hnmidlty that attends high temperature In the East, not a single case of prostration from the unusual heat was reported In this city. Aside from slight Inconvenience resulting- tn the operation of streetcars over the Hawthorns bridge and the discomfort of Portland residents (ten erally. the day passed without notable Incident. Son Makes Bridge Swell. Kxpandlng under the unusual heat resterday afternoon, the lift of the Hawthorne steel bridge outgrew Its proper conflnes and when the draw was raised, refused to slip quietly back Into Irs place. From 2 o'clock to S o'clock It stuck, while car service across the river at that point was held up. as the cars accustomed to seek the Kast tilde by that route found It Impossible to Be gotta'e the eight-Inch "hump" In the tracks left at each end of the draw. Services of the llreboat Oeorge H. Williams mere Anally called Into requi sition. Streams of water were played on the structure for more than an hour before, having cooled and contracted suff'clently. the draw Anally settled down shortly after t o'clock and the car track was open once more. Car Crowd Transferred. During the hold-up the streetcar company handled the crowd of passen gers by Issuing them transfers. Leav ing the cars held up on the West Side, and walking across the bridge, they boarded the cars on the opposite shore and were able to make the trip home ward without any serious delay. Although some wirk was done on the draw last night In an effort to gurd attainat a repetition of yester day afternoon's plight, the operators of the bridge are ot the opinion that if the temperature rtaes as high today as it did yesterday, only another dousing from the flreboat will be of avail In keeping the draw from undue expan sion and holding the bridge open for the passage of the cars. But at that Portland was by no means the most tropical city west of the Kocky Mountains. Records com plied by the Weather Bureau show that the thermometer at Phoenix. Arts, reg istered 10 degrees, while the residents of Walla Walla. Wash, sweltered In a temperature of 100 degrees. At North Yakima. Wash, the heat was ore de gree greater than at Portland.

It was due to the low humidity alone that the suffering from the heat here did not approximate that of the Kastera cities, where the humidity renerally keeps apace with the high temperature.

STATEHOOD MAY COME UP Campaign Publicity and Reappor tionment Bills Also Will Be Pressed La Follette and Bristow Score TafU WASHINGTON". July 1J. Two insur gent speeches against the Canadian reciprocity bill were made "today when Senators La Follette, of Wisconsin, and Bristow. of Kansas. Introduced their amendments to that measure and spoke In favor of them and against specific features of the pending bill. 0 Senator La Follette excoriated Presi dent Taft's Administration, not only with reference to tariff legislation pro posed, but also on his conservation pol icies. Senator Bristow renewed his fight against the present sugar tariff and urged the repeal of the "1 Dutch standard" test on Imported sugar, say ing It operated entirely In the Interests of the American Sugar Refining Com pany. ' Hoping to reach a vote on the reci procity bill next week. Senate leaders are figuring seriously on the subse quent programme. Besides the Democratic free list and woolen bills. It became evident today that friends of the Arlxona-New Mex ico statehood and reapportionment bills will demand votes, as will advocates of the campaign publicity bllL La Follette expects to occupy most of the session tomorrow and Saturday In his speech against reciprocity. In his speech today be called the reciproc ity agreement "a little brother to the Payne-Aldrlch MIL" Continuing his criticism of Taft's administration. La Follette said: "In all the record of this Adminis tration, no more glaring example Is presented of the complete surrender to special Interests and the complete re versal of Roosevelt's progressive poli cies than that -shown in dealing with the amendments to the interstate com merce act. It would have been diffi cult to have framed a piece of legisla tion affecting Interstate commerce more harmful to the public Interest than the bill drafted by the Attorney General and recommended to Congress by President Taft." In a speech In support of bis amend ment, to the reciprocity bill providing for a reduction of the duty on sugar. Senator Brletow denounced what he characterised as an alliance of certain standpat Republican Senators with the Democrats to pass the measure and "permit the Inequalities of the tariff to remain." "If this had been an honest effort to relieve the American people from the burdens of excessive tariff- taxation, the high duties on trust-controlled products would have been first at tacked." he ssld. "The comblnaton on this floor be tween certain ' standpat Republicans, representing great manufacturing states, and a majority of the Democrats has. we are told, decided that no amendments shall be attached to this Canadian bill, and that soon after It la passed Congress Is to adjourn. "If the plan succeeds, the standpat ters save their high duties on manu factured articles, the President gets even with the Insurgent farmer of the West and makes friends with the news papers, and the Democrats are given an Issue for the campaign next year, which Is the thing that they most desire."

Following closely on the criminal action against the Retail Lumber Dealers' Asooia tlons of the West, and the civil anti trust action against the retailers of the East, the Government now has deter mined upon a thorough Inquiry into the methods of wholesaling of lumber. The National Lumber Manufacturers Association, of which Edward Hlnes, ofvChicago, Is past president and a di rector, probably will be one of the first investigated. It has been represented that the re tail lumber dealers, who have been un der fire by the Government, and the manufacturers - were maintaining agree ments to curtail the manufacture of lumber so as to Increase the demand and the prices, that there have been attempts to monopolize the supply of certain kinds of lumber In certain sec tions of the country and that In some sections a uniform price has been maintained which has resulted In In creasing the prices 20 per cent In the pastatwo years in the face of a de creasing demand.

Tl r . j w EYES J MB TESTED t'h 1 FREE I f Um This Cut and Article From March The above sign, the omnipresent trademark of the fake optician, l the bait that is luring a nation into a sight-destroying net. It is so common to a certain class of optical establishments and depart ment stores as to make it familiar to young and old alike all over Sa United States. Few outside the medical profession, however recognize the danger to human health and life, that lurks back o fhUllurlng advirtising emblem. In explanation it Is stated that lnslnfty epilepsy, St. Vitus' dance and several other dead y dis eases, not to mention Insomnia, sick headache and general nerv ouSness and morbidness, are in many cases traceable to misfit eye Ussea "and 1 to the improper care of the eyes. Also that these same misfit eyeglasses and damaging treatments are generally found to have been prescribed by fake opticians, who have attracted their victims with the seductive sign, "Eyes Examined Free and o.00 1i?nfortun:ateiy0'for the generation to follow, people sepk relief whers U Appears to .be had at the least cost Their path therefore, leads tnem to an Incompetent optician in a department store, where i air of glasses may be had for 1.00 up, and where a sign read in!

I have thundered them to this public for two years, and they are true. There is never a CUT in price until there has been a BOOST in price. The Bargain Counter people add THREE and take away ONE. That's cut prices. , I don't cut prices because I don't boost prices. Yoir can't buy glasses worth $5.00 for $1.00. you cant buy at a danger counter that service which makes your glasses the kind you should wear. . You simply pay for glasses so inferior that men like mysell won t . handle them. ' No honest concern will tell you what your glasses will cost until they know the kind you need. You also know that if those danger counter men had the ability they wouldn't stand back of a bargain counter offering it at bar gain rates.
