MORE LIGHTS PROPOSED
Hook Ts Being Prepared for Drives
in Mount Tabor Hig Lake at
Ia ii relhurst Expected to
Be Ready May 20.
Portland's parks and playgrounds
are being" prepared for the biggest sea
son in. history. Under the direction of
Park Superintendent Convill a large
force of workmen is busy with all kinds
of improvements. At no time in the
past has there been so much park im
provement activity in Portland as at
present.
One of the centers of work is Mount
Tabor Park. Over near Kelly Butte a
rock quarry is grinding up rock which
is being hauled to the park for the
macadamizing of the drives two mites
of them.
Every foot of the drives will be put
in excellent condition with a first-class
macadam before the end of this month.
At intervals of 150 feet along the drive
are big white electric lighting poles.
There are 100 of them in all. They
were manufactured by the city in the
park and are being set as the macadam
is laid.
Park Lighting Is Proponed.
Provision will be made in the budget
of 1917 for the wiring of these light
poles and for lighting the park during
th Summer months. They will not be
lighted this year. To install the wir
ing will cost about ? 15.000. and the
money Is not available this year.
The drives will open up Mount Tabor
Park as an excellent place for driving
for the first time. The artistic drives
course about through the trees and
pretty nook;, and near the top of the
park furnish a wonderful view of the
entire city.
At Laurelhurst Park contractors are
putting the finishing touches on a new
two-acre lake. This is being dug by
steam shovels, and it is expected the
work will be finished by May 20. This
will be the first park lake in Portland
and will be an excellent attraction. It
is designed for a lake in the Summer
and a municipal skating rink in the
Winter, provided Nature furnishes the
ice.
Holladay Park Hotm Lights.
At Holladay Park workmen have fin
ished the installation of a lighting sys
tem. The finishing touches are being
put on an attractive Vomfort station.
The grounds have all oen dug up and
replanted with artistic lawns and
flower gardens.
At Kenilworth Tark extensive irn-
provemonts are under way, including
the intal lation of a lighting system.
Big improvements in the way of small
buildings, comfort stations, new lawns
wod gardens are under way in most of
the other parks, and they will present
a beautiful appearance during the Sum
mer. Special attention has been given this
year to Improving the floral appearance
of the parks, as well as constructing
permanent improvements, such as im
proved drives and buildings and play
grounds. Improvements also are being
made in the playgrounds of the city.
Commissioner Baker, who heads the
Park Bureau, is working on a number
of new sites for playgrounds. Some
already have been obtained and are
being made ready for the Summer open
ing, while negotiations are under way
on others.

Goodrich "Barefoot-Rubber"
TIKE a Pup to a Root," do they hang on to the
1 Earth, when you throw t the Clutch, or
B J throw on the Brakes.
But, instead of merely Grinding .against said
Earth, for Traction, they CLING to it, much as
your bare foot clings to slippery surfaces.
This new and wonderful Goodrich discovery,
called "Barefoot Rubber," is as stretchy almost as a
pure Rubber band, and as Light-weight as Rubber in
its native amber color when it comes raw from the
forest, but stronger, tougher, longer-wearing (in
Tires) than pure Rubber could ever be.
That Lightness, Stretch, and CLING-quality is
due, in part, to the absence of the heavy and inert
white substances which, in other Tires, provide the
"Eandpapery" texture designed to give effective, but
grinding, Tractioa when Clutch or Brakes do their
work.
TO provide its maximum Traction with mini
mum Friction (which means minimum
Heat, minimum -Tread-Wear, and lessened
Strain on the rubber adhesive between fabric
layers.)
That's the Mission of th6 new Goodrich ''Bare
foot Rubber."
How well it does this work, how much tnora
Resilience, Comfort-in-riding, and Mileage, it gives,
(without a farthing more cost to you) may be known
and realized by putting on your Car even one pair of
BLACK-TREAD Goodrich Tires, for test.
'BarefootRubber"can be had in Goodrich FABRIC
Tires, Goodrich "Silvertown" Tires, Goodrich
Inner Tubes, Goodrich Motor-Cycle Tires, Goodrich
Bicycle Tires, Goodrich Truck Tires, Goodrich
Rubber Boots, Overshoes, Soles and Heels, and in no
other make but Goodrich.
GET a sample of this wonderful "Barefoot
Rubber" at the nearest Goodrich Branch
or Dealers today.
Stretch it till you are tired," but tear its fibres
you can't.
With all this, observe that the best Fabric Tires
in America made of this TENACIOUS "Barefoot"
Rubber, cost you no more, and usually less, than or
dinary Tires made by other responsible manufacturers.
This, comparison of Goodrich ITair-List" prices
with others will prove.
There are no "larger-sized" Tires (taken Size for
Size and Type for Type), made in America than
Goodrich Black-Tread Tires.
Wliy, then, should any Business Man pay more
than the Goodrich "Fair-List" Price, for any Tire,
until he has at least tested one pair of these new black
tread Goodrich Safety-Tires ?

SUIT IS FILED AGAINST AGKMT KOIl
AUTOMOBILES.
Sale of Can at 5 Per Cent Below Lint
Rt and Retention of 5 Per
Cent Fee Cbargrd.
Can a manufacturer control the prices
at which agents cell his goods?
This question, to settle which af
firmatively the Stevens bill has ben
introduced in Congress, has been raised
in OreKon by Use Ford Motorcar Com
pany, which filed an action in the Cir
cuit Court yesterday asking1 that Ben
jamin E. Boone & Co. be restrained
from selling- Fords at lea than list
prices. If necessary the case will be
appealed to the United States Supreme
Court, announced Attorney E. I. Mc-
Doupal, who filed the complaint yesterday.
The issue raised in this suit is tech
nically different from the Stetson hat
case, which has pone to the highest
court. In the action filed here the
Ford people are retailers, and apents
work for them on commission. In the
other case the groods were sold direct
to retailers, and then an attempt was
made to regulate the price at which
the retailep-rould resell them.
The Fonff Company, which has a fac
tory braach in Portland, consigns cars
to apents throughout the Willamette
Valley. When sold at the list prices
of $440 for the tourinp car and $390 for
the roadster, tlje agent Is allowed to
retain 15 per cent of the list prices as
commission. The Boone Company, ac
cording to the Ford people, has pur
chased from other agents Ford cars at
a price allowing the agents only 5 per
cent and has sold the cars in Portland
at a 5 per cent cut under list prices,
retaining a profit of 5 per cent.
The competition in Portland with the
Ford Company at cut prices has de
moralized the business of the Ford
Company in this city, it is charged,
and las misled the public. The de
crease asked for is to restrain the
Boone Company from offering in writ
ing or orally a new Ford car at less
than the world-advertised sale price.

Fairness in pol itics would inn icate
that Republicans should have the bene
fits of their devotion and Democrats
are entitled to such benefits so fur as
their party affairs are concerned. Re
publicans have no moral Democratic
party and do not do such riirht to ride
candidates into- the thincs. Hence
Democrats should withhold their med
dling in tho affairs of Republican nom
inations, but they never do. They hoist
a false banner and wade in as "inde
pendents" do their utmost to control
the actions of tho Republ icn ns. The
only ro pre table thing about it is that
some Republicans fail to see how they
are being humbucsfl into a Democratic
trap. This is how Wilson is President,
how Olcott is Secretary of the state
government of Orecon and how polit
ical misfits come about general that
cause great extra expense, because the
misfits are without responsibility to
anyone. They are n. law to themselves
and so conduct themselves and as a
rule the people pay the Jill of irresponsibility.

And CHERRY'S are always ready to
extend it to you. There is nothing of
life's necessities of which a person has1
to so frequent ly deny themselves as
NICK CLOTHES, be it MAN or WOM
AN. Jt is really traditional for a
man hard-pressed by many calls upon
pay-day, which means a demand on
his salary check, to deny himself of
wearing apparel, both for self and
family in order to. meet other demands.
Really in such aV situation you are
handicapped n many ways. You not
only feel the necessity of clothing, but
at the same time feel the sting of
inability to get same. Yon can't spare
th. cattb. But really, no man need go
without good . clothes all the time.
Good Credit is the secret of the suc
cess of all business men. Nowadays,
every man should be a business man,
and a successful one, too.
Establish your credit in one line, and
you have it established in all.

to do is select what you want, make a
small deposit on same and take your
