While a string- of Jitney drivers and drivers of automobile livery cars are causing complaints from tourists and visitors, particularly on Columbia Illver Highway trips, an ordinance prepared three months ago at the in stigation of the publicity committee of the Chamber of Commerce, to make these drivers deal fairly with the pub lic, lies idle in the hands of City Com missioner Daly. It was aimed for the present tourist season, but it has been sidetracked week after week for rea sons not known to those who first gave it life. The Chamber of Commerce committee Ss up in arms over the matter. It is declared by members of this commit tee that jitneys and irresponsible livery car drivers are running at large and ere bilking unsuspecting visitors. The Chamber had complaints of the same sort last season, and had hoped to have the trouble corrected for this season, eo started out early to accomplish, this end;- and now, in the middle of the season, It finds itself still waiting. The ordinance as proposed fixes the maximum rate to be charged by driv ers, and requires them to obtain licenses before going into the business. 2t further makes licenses revocable for misdeeds of the drivers, and requires them to pass examinations to deter mine their ability to drive, and pro vides for cars being submitted to safety tests. The most common practice of Irre sponsible drivers is to agree to ta'ke a. party to the Columbia River Hlgh way and have the driver go as far as Crown Point, where he announces that "this is the Columbia River Highway." "But where is the much-talked-of iMultnomah, Falls?" asks the visitor. Here Is where the joker comes in. The driver eays the falls are further on, but ha only agreed to take them -to" the highway and not "over" the highway, and collects (3 or $4 more to complete the trip. The visitor can pay the additional fare or return to Port land without seeing the highway. Whichever course he takes he returns rondemning Portland. There is no law to prohibit automobile drivers from robbing the public. Dozens of jitney drivers regularly Jtcensed to give eight hours' service in Portland divert from their routes to take parties over the highway. Dozens of names have been submitted to Com missioner Daly, "servant of the public," of Jitney drivers who have violated the Jitney ordinance the ' Council passed months ago, yet nothing has been done to curb them or revoke their licenses.

VALUE IS PLACED AT. $72 Filling Stations Report Ixss In t Handling Is From Zero to Two Per Cent, Raisins Question as to Where Supply Went. Now comes the mysterious loss of about 800 gallons of gasoline to bother the City Purchasing Bureau. From the tanks at the Municipal garage there has been lost, strayed or stolen almost enough gasoline to float a young ship. 1 J ? I 1 1 - y - The value is 9 cents a gallon or a total of J72. That there was something wrong with the records regarding gasoline at the garage was scented some time ago by City Auditor Barbur when he asked for a statement' of the amount fur nished the garage and paid for by the city and the- amount given out to drivers of city cars. A report was sub mitted, but it was incomplete and in accurate, and was sent back to the Purchasing Bureau for correction. That was more than a month aqo. No cor rected report has been furnished as yet. Loss in Handling Is 2 Per Cent. It is said the bureau officials, of whom Commissioner Bigelow and Pur chasing Agent Wood are the principals, are unable to account for the 800-gal-lon shortage. People operating filling stations have been consulted and have reported that their maximum loss of gasoline in handling is about 2 per cent. Some of them, it is understood, have said the loss is nil while others have placed It as high as 2 per cent. So loss through handling has not been a sufficient explanation for the loss at the city's garage. There is something wrong somewhere else. That old reprobate General Efficiency, who has caused so much trouble lately at the City Hall, is thought by disinter ested spectators to have a hand in the present trouble as in some of the Pur chasing Bureau troubles of the past. Fire Bureau Reports Check. As against the shortage at the garage from whatever cause comes the report that a check of the gasoline furnished direct from the oil companies to the Fire Bureau for fire machines has shown no loss. Every station has cnecked out to the gallon, according to the figures given City Auditor Barbur. The city still is paying 9 cents gallon tor gasoline, having made a year's contract before prices went up. Up to a short time ago machines not belonging to the. city have obtained gasoline at the municipal garage at city prices. It was explained that the gasoline in these cases was purchased direct from the oil company's delivery wagon. City garage men in some cases handled the transactions. The practice was stopped by order of Commissioner Bigelow. Lax methods In supplying gasoline to the city cars have been uncovered in the form of inadequately filled out receipt slips. Drivers of city cars are supposed to sign for the receipt of all gasoline. Many receipt tags have been found with no signatures, making it impossible for the city,to check up on the accounts. ELKS' TEAMS 'TO PLAY BENEDICTS AND BACHELORS MEET AT BONNEVILLE. TO Married Men Are Hoping- Some of Capable Opponents Will Qualify for Positions Now Vacant. This is goinjc to be good: The mar ried men are going to play the single men a game of baseball at the Elks' annual picnic at Bonneville a week from today. But this is better yet: The single men seem to have all the advantage of it when it comes to talent and the- married ones are on a still hunt for. helpful material. Most of their eligibles are old duffers who would do better at golf than at baseball. In desperation the committee of benedicts has made surreptitious advances to some of their opponents in an effort to qualify them for the married men's team. So here is the best of all: It wouldn't be surprising if, within the next few days, a capable outfielder, a second baseman and a pitcher or two deserted the ' ranks of the bachelor team and made themselves eligible for the married men's nine. Everyone around the Elks' club is constituting himself a, sleuth to learn the identity of the chaps who propose to jump. But the baseball game is going to be only one of the numerous items of en tertainment. A concert by the Elks' Band, a dance and a series Of athletic sports also are on the programme. A special train will leave the Union Depot at 9 o'clock next Sunday morn ing for Bonneville, and returning will leave Bonneville at 6:30 P. M- The round trip rate will be $1. Automobile parties can make the trip, too, over the Columbia River Highway. The committee in charge of arrange ments consists of W. J. Rutherford, chairman; D. R. Bell, Harry Harlan.' F. W. Peters, H. G. Farrell, Ray Bark- hurst, W. P. Strandborg and V. W. wagner. TWIN WARDS HAPPY Boy and Girl From Juvenile Court Enjoy Farm Life.

On the big farm of Mrs. Margaret West, of Westport, Or, fTTey have been enjoying ranch life as only healthy children can since shortly before Christmas, when they were placed there after months of search for a kindly mother who would welcome two youngsters. The big question which threatens to face them soon is whether or not they can stay where they are or whether they must go East with their mother and six brothers and sisters. Mrs. West wishes to keep them. Dan Is being taught dairying and his bene factor wishes to send him to the Ore gon Agricultural College when he is older. Doris Is rapidly developing into a musician.

Mrs. Martha Chester put them in a children's home early In 1915. and on June 30 they were turned over to the Juvenile Court, as the mother had not been able to pay for their care at the home.
