ISF Appropriation Will Get Warm Support, Thinks Riley. ISSUE IS NOT LOCAL ONE People of Orejron and Washington i:ecard Columbia River Struc ture a Important Link In Pacific Highway. "There will be no question about the enthusiastic co-operation of the peo ple of the whole State of Washing ton with us In our campaign for the Columbia bridge, when we have nnisned our preliminary survey and are ready to (to before the Legislatures In both states asking for an appropriation for the construction." says Frank B. Riley, chairman of the Joint bridge com mittee from the Commercial Clubs of Portland and Vancouver. "At a meet ing of commercial organisations in North Taklma a short time ro. In which some of the strongest bodies In the 8tate of Washington were repre sented, one of tho nrst things done in the order of business was the In dorsement of the bridge and a pledge to support the project. "Commercial organisations of Seattle. Tacoma and all of the other large cltirs of the state have taken similar action. The Columbia bridge Is not re garded by the people of Washington as a local project, merely meaning the connection of Vancouver and Portland. That. Indeed, is the least Important construction they place upon It. They regard it as an essential link In the Pacific Highway end If there Is any thing in the State of Washington that its people are proud or and are eager to advance. It Is the Pacific Highway. "When Oregon commercial organisa tions are ready to go before their Legis lature to ask for the appropriation of our share of the $2.UOO.OoO for the bridge. I believe that we will find business men and farmers of Wash ington standing solidly with us eager to do their share to make the project success. Looking over the situation In Washington and the attitude of her people, one finds the Columbia bridge beginning to Assume the proportions of a project that Is a certainty." Y. M. C. A. WORK LAUDED POriTLVXIl ASSOCIATION" LEADS ACTIVITIES OX COAST. Magazine Devote Entire Iauo to Organization on Pacific, Praising This City. Portland Is prominently featured in the Slay Issue of Association Men. the official publication of the Toung Men's Christian Association, which has Just been received In Portland. The entire edition Is devoted to the associations of the Pacific Coast, and It Is Indicated that the Portland Y. M. C. A. Is fore most In Its many activities. The publication calls attention to the fa.-t that the two largest associations In the world are located on the Pacific Coast, at Portland and Los Angeles. The work In different departments of the Portland association Is outlined and complimented, and editorially the mag azine calls attention to the progresslve ness of the V. M. C A. on the. Coast. "I soon discovered that many of our Na tion's greatest problema would be solved on the Pacific Coast." writes ihe editor In describing a visit to Oregon. Washington and California. One of the leading articles In the number Is written by C. X. Wonacott. assistant general secretary of the Port land association, on the subject, "Scien tific Association Management." Mr. Wonacott goes In detail Into the scheme of association management that la fol lowed In Portland, and points out Its successful operation. He gives credit for the success of the association dor mitories to the fact that no applica tion for rooms Is accepted from anyone not already a member of the T. M. C. A. and In accord with Its alms, and also to the fact that smoking and other privileges forbidden In other parts of the building are forbidden In the dor- BRIDGE MED AROUND PORTLAND HOTEL WHEN FIRE. vF--' f4rir A 4f mltorles. There Is also a long article on the advisory and employment de partment of the Portland association. Great credit is given to the men who htive built up the Pacific Coast asso ciations. "Big men have made the as sociations big on the Slope," says an editorial. One of them who stands out most prominent among the generals of the movement is W. M. Ladd. who has been president of the Portland associa tion for 17 years. .When he was elected to the office he found the association ;i weak affair In rented rooms, without property nnd with a floating debt of $10,000. Now Its property appraisement Is .600.000 and endowment $125,000, and Its work enters nearly every avenue of life with Its wholesome, helpful influ ence." A tribute is also paid to U. W. Stone, the general secretary. "We had heard a great deal about Portland." says the editor, "and I should have been disap pointed when I reached the association building In the early evening It It had not been necessary literally to push my way Into the general secretary's office. The "Bishop of the Northwest Harry Stone. IS years at the bat in Portland, greeted me in his usual breezy manner, and from that time until we left the city we were engrossed practically all the time In studying the work of the association a wonderful opportunity and being met In a remarkable man ner."

SCHROEDER'S JOB SHAKY Insolence, Favoritism and Holding I'p of City Mail Charge Made by Board in Complaint to Mayor Kushlight. Insolence, favortism and holding up city mall are the charges made against John G. Schroeder, chief clerk of the City Free Employment Bureau, In a letter sent to Mayor Rushlight yester day by the Free Employment Board. The Mayor referred tho matter to City Attorney Grant, instructing him to draft a complaint. The Mayor will then formally dlschargo Schroeder, and al low him to take the matter before the Civil Service Commission. In its complaint the board says: "The testimony of Officer 1'ones and others that Mr. Schroeder was very abusive in his language to applicants for em ployment and that In many Instances he turned his back on them, and fur ther called them vile and abusive names. "These acts of rudness were not con fined to employes." continues the let ter, "but were also used toward em ployers, as In the case of Mr. John Beal, who reported to thepresident of the Board that Mr. Schroeder had used very discourteous and uncivil language. Clerk Asked to Perjure. "The further testimony given by C. E. Chrlstensen. Assistant Clerk, and Mlna Smith, conclusively proved that said Schroeder absented himeslf fre quently form the office without leave or permission. We were also shown that he desired Chrlstensen to perjure himself by requesting said Chrlstensen to 'forget the times that I have been away, and say nothing about them.' "The testimony of E. S. McKlnney conclusively proved to the board that the said Schroeder was in the habit of sending out men to favorite con tractors, and that where v.-e1tractors Incurred bis ill will, he would not send them help. Mr. McKlnney Is a contractor who had been refused help and complained to the board, which, on Investigating the matter, found he was not receiving the treatment from the office that he should have re ceived, and that said Schroeder was In error. "Charges were also preferrred re lating to the sending of men by private employment office to do -jvork on the Reservoir, which work was Intended by the city to be a relief to the poor men of the city. icaroeder'a Game Boosted. "The Superintendent of the works. T. W. Tanner, complained to the Mayor'a office In regard to this mat ter, and was referred to the board. Testimony showed that W. A. Acker man, with whom said Schroeder was engaged In the private employment business, was Identified with the office (Pacific), which collected a fee and sent the men to said work, but no di rect r-vldence could be obtained of the coliusTon between said Ackerman and Schroeder, as further testimony showed Mr. Tanner had not received any men from any private office except said Pacific, and that all other men came from .the Free Employment Office. "Since the previous meeting of the board it has come to our attention that said Schroeder arbitrarily and without any power authority, took It upon him self to stop the morning mail from be ing delivered to .the office. Thia action Is entirely high handed and one that impaired the efficiency of the bureau. Office Work Stagnates. ."We respectfully recommend to your honor that you take immediate action for the reason that the work of the office has stagnated, and that said Schroeder, in our opinion. Is incompe tent and of nervous temporament, and not qualified for other reasons herein mentioned." It is probable that Assistant Clerk Chrlstensen will be promoted to take Mr. Schroeder's place, and that a new assistant will be selected from the eligible list. Those on the list are: Clarence M. Rynerson, reinstated on the list January 10: Ralph G. Voss, 542 Sec ond street, lieutenant in the fire de partment stationed at Fourth and Montgomery streets: Leonard X.

Boils Broke Out During Teething. Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and He Was the Picture of Health. 224 E. Jackson St ., Colorado Springs, Colo. "My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breakine-out on hte cheeks, from which a watery substance oozed. A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and In a few days became a solid scab. Hie little fellow was under treat ment for about three months. By the end of that time, he seemed no better. I became dis couraged. I commenced the use of Cuticura Soap mnA Ointment, and in a few days noticed a marked change. The erup tion on bis cheeks was almost healed, snd his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly batter. When he was about seven months old, all trace of the ecieraa was gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out in boils which I cured wtth Outicura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been a great sufferer. During trie time of teething I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old he was the picture of health. His complexion was soft and beauti ful, and his head a mass of silky curia. I had been afraid that he would never be well, and I fael that I owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies." (Signed) Mrs. Mary W. Ramsey, Sept. 24. 1910. - Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere. Sample of each mailed free with 32-p. book. Address. Cuticura. Dept. T. Boston.

"The beard held its meeting today without informing me or giving me any opportunity to appear in my own behalf." said Mr. Schroeder last night. "I do not know what action the Mayor expects to take, but if he follows out the recommendations of Messrs. Clyde and Ledmldge and dismisses me I shall at once appeal to the civil serv ice board. Mr. McMonies, the. third member, dissented." Mr. Schroeder attributed the trouble largely to personal motives of Mr. Christiansen, who. he asserted. had been Insubordinate and had thrown difficulties in his way for some time past. , "As to delaying th delivery of the mail at the office." he paid, "I took that step because Mr. Christiansen, contrary to my orders, had been in the habit of coming to the office at 7 o'clock and when the mail was de livered at 7:45. opening It all. Letters were frequently misplaced in this way and it became next to impossible for me to tell at times how matters stood in the office. Frequently men came with inquiries regarding some letter I had never seen. He even opened some of my personal mail. Finally. I requested the mail-carrier to delay the delivery of letters until I reached the office at 8 o'clock. Had I been per mitted to appear before the hoard to day. I could have easily explained this matter to them." ' NEW FRATERNITY FORMED Hormctics Aim to Promote General Good and Prosperity.

A certi fied copy of the articles of the associa tion, which are filed at Salem, was re ceived by County Clerk Fields yester day from Secretary of State Olcott. The association has com-nanded attention by its ambitious programme, which, to quote directly from the articles, is as follows: "To engage in any undertaking, call ing, business, pursuit, service or opera tion whatsoever for the social, indus trial, financial, physical, moral and ed ucational benefit of its members and others; to promote Intellectual and civic progress and to establish fellowship and faith as essential elements of business; to endeavor to -eradicate pov erty as a civic disease; to strive to lessen crime, suffering and shame; to promote goodness, happiness and gen eral prosperity; to render practical as sistance to and bestow practical bene fits on worthy members, and to com pensate or reward them for services performed for and in behalf of said association in Increasing its member ship and promoting its welfare; to teach and exemplify the scientific use of money and credit: to establish an equitable, economic system of unlim ited agency, operation, scope and ex tension: to bind together worthy per sons who desire to promote the pur poses as herein set forth."

The newspapers and medical Journals recently have had much to say relative to a famous millionaire's offer of a million dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condition of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until In Ahe end it became Incurable. His misfortune serves as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dyspep sia for a few yeas will give every thing ho owns for a new stomach. Dyspepsia Is commonly caused by an abnormal state of the gastric Juices, or by lack of tone in the walls of the stomach. The result is that the stom ach loses its power to digest food. We are now able to supply certain missing elements to help to restore to the gastric Juices their digestive power, and to aid in making the stomach strong and well. We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab lets are a most dependable remedy for disordered stomachs, indigestion and dyspepsia. We want you to try thorn and will return your money if you are not mora than satisfied with the result. Three sizes, 25 cents. 50 cents and $1.00. Sold only by the Owl Drug Co. Stores In Portland.
