GLADSTONE PARK, Or., July 10.
(Special.) Little Fraulein Mayerhofer,
"whose home Is In the Bavarian Alps,
was the feature today at -Gladstone
Park. Miss Mayerhofer is a singer of
the Jennie Lind "nightingale" type, and
bo thrilled an audience of more than
3000 people that she was. called "back
again and again. The -Tyrolean Alpine
Singers, consisting of four dashing
young mountaineers, three dainty peas
ant lasses and Miss Mayerhofer, held
"full sway at the Chautauqua. All were
in the peasant garb of the Tyroleans,
sang native songs and played native
Instruments. And their yodeling:
characteristic of the Swiss mountain
eers was most beautiful. It was. the
largest audience present so far this
cession.
It was in the rendition of the native
aria, "My Home," that Miss Mayerhofer
was at her best. Quietly slipping out
of the auditorium, she joined in the
song from a point pver 100 yards away
from the massive building, concealed
In a mass of oak shrubbery. The ef
fect was beautiful
Dr. Hinson, of- Portland, In his morn
ing talk, attacked the divorce system
of the country. He also made a few
criticisms about the prevailing fash
ions in women's wearing apparel, and
the love of extravagance in the United
States. While his subject was "The
Assets of America," his talk was a 're
sume of the big problems confronting
the country.

The novel sight of a large crowd of
aspiring artists perched in the baseball
grandstand and trying their hand at
the adjoining landscape was witnessed.
Rules for Children Given.
"He who breathes best, lives best,"
said Miss Grace Lamkin at her round
table talk to mothers this afternoon.
"We must make good citizens of the
boys and girls by uniting strong bodies,
strong minds and strong characters.
We .can do this only by giving them
plenty of fresh air, good wholesome
nourishment, stirring games, and
plenty of sunshine. The physical train
ing that we should give them must in
clude practical lessons in hygiene, with
rest and recreative periods. We need
more womanly women and more manly
men; more who want to gain renown in
health as well as mental renown; more
who think of face and form and car
riage as portraying culture of soul in
stead of awkwardness." Miss Lamkin's
work is attracting wide attention.
Almost 1000 persons are camped on
the grounds, and about 250 tents are
up. It seems to be a sort of a college
year, for aside from the large repre
sentation of Oregon educational insti
tutions, Dr. Homan, president of Wil
lamette University, is on the grounds
rom morning until night, in his role
of platform manager.

HEW COMMISSION '
FACING HANDICAP
Late Administration Left Few
Funds With Which to
Conduct Business.
UNPAID BALANCES REMAIN
More Than Half of Year's Funds Ex
pended During First Six Months
and Much of Cash Left Is
Covered- by Contracts.
The financial difficulties under which
the new City Commission will be re
quired to work until January 1, 1914, at
least, are shown in the semi-annual re
port of City AudnitOr Barbur, complet
ed and sent to the administrative and
legislative body yesterday. The report
Blows the amounts expended during
the first half of this year by the old
administration and the balance in the
various funds for expenditure during
the six months of the new administra
tion. It is shown that during the first six
months, in the majority of cases, more
than half of the year's fund was ex
pended, leaving the small end of the
fund to be used by the new adminis
tration. In addition to the balance shown
there must be deducted from several
of the funds amounts which have been
contracted for and which will have to
be paid but which are not shown in
the balances made June 30. These items
are not shown, because warrants have
not been Issued for their payment.
in the general fund which receives
all the city revenue from licenses and
other sources, excepting taxes, it is
shown that there ' was a balance on
June 30, of $343,194.97. Warrants
against this fund aggregating $52,918.36
are outstanding, leaving a balance in
the fund of $290,276.36 which amount
practically has all been contracted for.
Balance Next Year Unlikely.
The expenditures out of this fund
during the first six months of this year
were $392,797.66 and a like sum will be
necessary during the remaining' six
months of the year. This will leave
little or no balance at the end of the
year whereas generally there is a bal
ance in the fund of -from $100,000 to
$300,000.
The following table shows the stand
ing of the funds with the expenditures
for the first six months and the bal
ance June 30, 1913, indicated:

Contracts Cover Much Cash.
From the balances in several of
these funds must be taken amounts
which have been expended by contract
but for which payment has not been
authorized. In this list will be large
deductions from the park and boulevard
fund and the police and fire funds par
ticularly. The Commission Is handicapped by
being unable to finance new city proj
ects. The low tide of the city's funds,
resulting from the expenditures dur
ing the first six months of this year,
will be felt not only between now and
the first of the year but also next year
because there will not be the usual
balances of funds at the end of the
year to apply to the funds for next
year.

WlLIiAJlETTE BOULEVARD PROJ
ECT FAVORED.
Opponents Favor Maryland Avenue

extension of the Willamette boulevard
from Killlngsworth avenue and Bar
rage street to a connection with Gold

v. Lawrence presided.
W. C Alderson said th mirnosA of

short route by streetcar to the Broad
way bridge and save at least 15 min
utes' time. He said that the highest
cost per lot would be $10, which
wouia do graduated downward and
that the damage for onenincr th
boulevard -would be. about $140,000.
J. E. Price SDOke in favor of th
Maryland avenue route and F. C.
Knapp made a vigorous talk for the
extension for the reason that it would
shorten the time of the St. Johns
car line into Portland by more than
15 minutes.
It was said the extension would be
80 feet wide and that Portland Rail
way. -Light & Power Company, will
build its lines on that route when it
has been graded, which, W. C. Aider
son said, is the Intention.
A committee of live, M. HI Carter,
chairman, was appointed to Investigate
the proposed extension, and also the
Maryland avenue route. -
S. Benson and J. B. Yeon are in
terested 'in the new boulevard. An
other meeting -will be held tonight at
Peninsula in the interest of the project.
An opponent to the extension an
nounced that meetings in opposition
to the improvement would be held,
when the other side of the question
would be presented.

City Invites Competition in All
Purchases of Supplies.
PORTLAND'S GAIN $100,000
Requisitions Must Have Approval of
Department Heads, Commissioner
- Brewster, Purchasing Agent, .
. Then Go to Auditor.
After two weeks of hard work Muni,
cipal Purchasing Agent Wood yester
day completed the preparation of a gen
eral plan of purchases. Under the
system there will be competition in all
purchases of supplies. By this method
it is expected that the saving to the
city in small supplies will run close
to $100,000 a year.
All the forms, requisitions, tally slips
and order sheets have been printed
and sent to the various city depart
ments. When a department wants sup
plies of any "sort a requisition will be
made out showing the amount of sup
plies needed and the city fund which
is to be taxed for the cost. The order
will be "O. K.'d" by the head of the
department affected and the requisition
will -be sent to City Commissioner
Brewster who, after approval, will send
it to the purchasing agent.
The order on the vendor will then be
written up, the original order being
sent to the vendor and a duplicate to
the inspector in this department, who
will have the City Auditor certify that
sufficient unincumbered balance is on
hand.
Material, supplies, equipment or serv
ice may be checked by the purchasing
agent personally or by the Inspector,
who will certify on the back of the
duplicate order that goods have been
received or services rendered in good
condition, or work properly performed
in conformance with the specifications
set forth in the order. A triplicate
copy of this order will be detained on
file In the purchasing - bureau. A
quadruplicate of the order will be sent
to the head of the bureau signing the
requisition, and will be kept perma
nently. In his Hies.
Upon 1 receipt of the supplies, ma
terial,, equipment or services the de
partment giving the order will im
mediately indicate on a original tally
slip form that the deliveries were re
ceived. The arrangement covers all labor or
services to be furnished on contract,
except contracts for public Improve
ments containing substantia! require
ments of labor or services, which will
be taken care of otherwise. . To obtain
office supplies of this kind the depart
ments will use a requisition on the
storekeeper. This will- go to the sta
tionery clerk who will fill the requisi
tion immediately.
