COMMITTEE IS PROPOSED Council and Company Will Co-ope rate la Effort to Improve Serv ice to Suburban Points and Hear Complaints. Following: a meeting: yesterday of the special streetcar committee of the City Council at which ways and means of improving: the city's car service were discussed with officials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, ar rangements were made to establish the committee as a permanent fixture of the Council to receive complaints about the service and to make recommenda tions for Improvements to the com pany. A resolution will be sent to the Council providing- for the permanent appointment of members of the com mittee. It was learned that the task of im proving- the service must be undertaken Biauum. many sug-gesuons were made which were without merit, among them being the establishment of rules ior patrons, -which the company could not carry out. It was learned through P. W. Hlld, peneral manager of the company, that the present schedule of cars is so ar ranged that unless there is an unex pected rush everyone gets a seat ex cepting curing tne morning and even ing rush hours. In the morning it is pianneu 10 require 40 per cent of the passengers to stand and in the even ing 60 per cent. "This," said Mr. Hlld, "gives Portland a better service than any other city in the United States. Company to Co-Operate. C. J.. Franklin, general superintend ent of the company, declared that the officials want to co-operate with the committee In every way possible. "We are glad the committee was appointed," he said, "because it will bring out com plaints from patrons which may help us. We get general complaints, but in sifting them down we find they are the outcome of some petty grudge against the company and are" of no use in helping the service. We want the committee to receive the complaints and get at the bottom of them. I as sure you that whatever will help Im prove the service will receive our sup port. The question of adding more cars to the various lines was considered. Coun cilman Joy. chairman of the committee, urged an increased number of cars on the Hawthorne-avenue lines and the officials promised to investigate the matter. Considerable opposition was voiced against the proposal to rearrange the operation of cars so that stops an. made only on the near side of Inter sections. It was shown by Mr. Hlld mat tne plan would bring about a much better service by lessening the number of stops. JeeselTBi Plan Approved. The plan suggested recently by President Josselyn of the company to stop cars only at every other Inter section in the residence section met with the approval of members of the committee. It was arranged to try the plan out on the Mount Tabor line unless patrons of the company in the Mount Tabor district object. Two weeks' time will be given for the filing of complaints. The committee will meet January and if the plan is favorable to the company's patrons it will be Inaugurated January 7. Signs will be placed on poles indicating where the cars stop. If the trial on the Mount Tabor line is successful it will be adopted on other lines. It was explained by Mr. Hild that on the Mount Tabor line five minutes' time can be saved to the end of the line by cutting out half the present stops. TURKEY 1RKET. FIRM SUPPIiY SOrt TJP TO EXPECTA TIONS OF DEALERS. B. 3r. LOMBARD GETS $370.0 FOR rSE OF OAXTONtROAD FARM. Retailers Find- Commission Houses Sold Ont Early and Price of "Cheer Birds" Soar. Portland's supply of Christmas turkeys was lighter than expected, but there will probably be no shortage. The quantity received on Front street was small, as compared with the Thanks giving receipts, and the wholesale end of the market was brought to a close early in the day. Retailers were on hand in the produce district when the stores opened, and by noon few desir able birds remained unsold. It was, therefore, a firm wholesale market. As near as could be figured out the supply and demand were about equal. Had as many turkeys come in as some of the merchants expected, the market no doubt would have slumped, as the Christmas consumption of turkeys is never as large aa that at Thanksgiving, owing to the abundance of other kinds of poultry and holiday meats. The retail dealers, seeing the course of the wholesale market, naturally did not lower their prices. Thirty cents continues to be the quoted price on the best turkeys In most of the retail stores. One large dealer who on Sat urday asked 2a cents, raised his price to 2iy cents yesterday. It Is not prob. able that any of the market men will ask more than 30 cents today.

Award Is Jjess Than Half Complain, ant Asked When County Refused to Vacate Property for Year. ' The county won a distinct victory over . B. M. Lombard yesterday when Circuit Judge McGinn, sitting as an arbitrator in accordance with stipula tion entered into between the parties, decided that the County Court should allow B. M. Lombard, purchaser of the old County Farm property on the Can yon road, 3225 a month, or a total of 32700, for the 12 months which the county used the farm after the sale was made. The fact is that It was 18 months after the sale before the County Court was ready to move to the new "farm near Troutdale, but it was agreed that the county was to re tain possession for six months. The award is somewhat better than a third, considerably less than a half, of what Mr. Lombard thought he was entitled to. He owes the countv X119. 000. for which he has given notes as a balance on the purchase price of the property, and he thought that the in terest on this amount at 6 Der cent. amounting to 37140, should be set off against the 'use of the farm by the county. tie really sought to obtain more than this, as in a suit filed over a year ago he demanded 340,000 dam ages for the failure of the county to vacate. v It was in retaliation for this suit that the County Court employed A. E. Clark to bring a strict foreclosure suit wnen Mr. Lombard failed to pay the first note of 335,000, which fell due May 5 last. The foreclosure suit brought him to terms. It was stip ulated that all the notes should be ad vanced a year each and that Judge McGihn should finally and arbitrarily decide, after hearing such testimony as he thought necessary, how much the county should deduct for continuing to use the property for a year. This Judge McGinn did yesterday. Judge McGinn's award coincides with the views of County Judge Cleeton and Commissioners Lightner and Hart, who were willing to pay 3200 a month, even 3250 If necessary, to avoid litigation. Mr. Lombard has no appeal from the derision of yesterday. A permit to erect poles and towers along the county roads, aa requested In a petition for a franchise recently liled, was granted ths Northwestern Electric Company by the County Court yesterday. The franchise was not given, for the reason' that as drafted it did not provide for compensation. Attorneys for the electrio company have offered to present a new petition. In. which It will be agreed that by way of compensation the county Is to receive Za per cent less than commercial rates on any power which it may wish to take from the company. The permit was granted In the mean time In order that there may be no de lay in construction work. It Is prob able that the county will take power for -Ightlng and other purposes for the County Farm from the new company, and may elect to use Northwestern power for the Courthouse. The North western power line into the city will pass by the poor farm. MINISTERS SHUN "MOVIES" Methodist Association Declines The atrical Man's Invitation. " Because their acceptance of an invi tation to see a moving picture play of a religious character might be con strued as an . Indorsement of moving picture shows in general, the Method ist Ministerial Association of Portland yesterday declined such an invitation with thanks. Before a resolution of declination was adopted, however, there was an animated discussion, and when the resolution was finally passed, it carried a clause thanking the theater manager who had extended the Invi tation, and explaining that Methodist ministers are not permitted to gaze upon even the wholesome things that are thrown on "movy" screens, because some of the things shown are not con sidered wholesome from- a standpoint of the cloth, and their attendance at any time might be Interpreted as a general indorsement. Some of the ministers maintained that the invitation was nothing less than an attempt to compromise them In their attitude concerning moving pic tures, but Dr. Benjamin Young was able to convince these doubters of the kindly motive of the manager who had asked them to see the pictures. It was only at the meeting previous that Rev. C E. Cllne denounced the moving picture as a device calculated to lead people away from the precepts of religion.

MAYOR COMES TO RELIEF Employes of Bankrupt Contractors Suffer by Surety's Decision. Refusal of the Maryland Casualty Company to carry out what Mayor Rushlight says are provisions of a bond covering the Canyon road sewer ex tension will result In many laborers going jungry tomorrow unless the Sayor can legally negotiate a loan to day on his own account and pay the men. He has asked the city Attorney for an opinion. There are 90 laborers in all who were employed by Hllliard & Maginnls when that firm went Into bankruptcy. The majority of them have a month's pay due. The total amount Is about 33000. When the men began to appeal to the Mayor last week to help them get their money without waiting until the accounts of the defunct company went through the bankruptcy courts, the Mayor applied to the bonding com pany to pay. Not until yesterday did the company finally refuse to take the chance of paying, despite the fact that the des'tltute condition of most of the laborers was explained to the company officials In detail. . In the face of the refusal the Mayor made arrangements to borrow the 33000 and will pay the men at noon today If he can da so legally. He will tak their salkry warrants and hold them until the payments are authorized by the courts. The Mayor will pay 6 per cent interest on the amount borrowed out of his own pocket. with the practice by which celebrants evade the law by ordering quantities of liquor before the hour arrives. Rea sonable hilarity and pranks will not be interfered with by the police, but a strong check will be placed upon rowdyism. Sew Tear Celebrants Warned.

HE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A GOOD STOMACH This Offer Should Be a Warning; t Every Man and Women. The newspapers and medical journals recently have had much to say relative to a famous millionaire's offer of m. 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 the end it became Incurable. . His misfortune serves as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dvsDeDsia for a few years will give everything he owns for a new stomach. Dyspepsia Is commonly caused hv an abnormal state of the gastric Juices, or by lack of tone in the walls of the stomach. The result is that the stomach loses its power to digest food. we are now able to suodIv certain missing elements to help to restore la the gastric Juices their digestive Dower. and to aid in making the stomach strong and well. We know that Rexall DvsDeosia Tab. lets are a most dependable remedy for disordered stomachs, indigestion and dyspepsia. V e want you to try them and will return your money if you are not- mora than satisfied with the result. Three sizes. 25 cents. 50 cents, and 31.00.
