San Francisco, March 15. Th
Tisrht for th .'A,MOfi00 Western
Pacific melon, which for more than a
year ha been mutually disguised by
th contending parties, u an over
larjre but rather bitter lemon started
in real earnest today.
San Francisco- ha been selected aa
the battle ground. The first claahl will

of appeals. The Wall street crowd of
financiers, who are behind the re
organization plan, and are operatm
through the Fjuita.ble Trust company
seeking to foreclose the mortgafre
ajrainst the property, movwl some of
their heavy artillery out here in the
pery.on of Attorneys Franklin W. Mc
Cutcheon and William Griswold.
The?i men, with the local attorneys
for Ifre reorffanvzers, John F. Bowie
and Jared How, will launch their of
fensive on three fronts before United
States Judge William C. Van Fleet.
They will argue three motion. The
first is an appeal from the court's
order of Febroajry 21, restraining the
Equitable Trnat company from pro
ceeding with ita New York guit
against the Denver Ic Rio Grande
railroad.
The second is an initir-tory petition
for a writ of prohibition to prevont
Judge Van Fleet's order to bring the
Denver Rio Grande and the Mis
souri Pacific into the case.
The third is a petition for a writ of
mandamus ordering Judge Van Fleet
immediately to foreclose the Western
Pacific mortgage.
Against these legal smashes will
stand Attorneys Johns, Partridge,
Pillsmury, Madison and Zeno, who rep
resent Frank Drum and Warren Olney
Jr., the receiver of the road.
Tr receivership was to be estab
lished today and. the mortgage fore

The Fallacy of Paraffine
Base: Eastern oil manufac
turers have long extolled
the superior virtues of paraffine
base motor oils. But Pacific Coast
motorists have proved that Zero
lene, made from selected Califor
nia crude, asphalt -base, gave best
results. Their experience is now
supported by the testimony of in
ternational experts. Lieut. Bryan
stated before the Am. Soc. of Naval
Engineers: "Oils made from the
asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves better
adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon
forming proclivities are concerned, than are paraffine-base
Pennsylvania oils." Zerolene received

Diego Expositions. Dealers everywhere and at service

New City Directory Indicates 280,435
People in Metropolis
Polk's 1916 city d. rectory, now be
ing distributed, estimates the present
Portland population at 280,435 says
the Journal. Though the publishers
admit that their statistics show a
falling off in the floating population,
a more than ofTsett'iig increase in the
residential districts ir.dicates a rteady
growth in the permanent population.
The opening parafraphs give some
interesting statistical information.
Portland is still the leading wheat
exporting port of 'he Pacific north
west and the largest lumber manufac
turing city in the wirld.
There are 772.39 miles of paved
streets in the city. The assessed val
uation of taxable property is $303,
000,610, as contrasted with an as
sessed valuation in 1015 of $276,
310.570. There are 837 manufacturing plants
in Portland, an increase of 147 over
the number listed last year.
Included in the cit' 's limits, ac
cording to vhc new d'-tory, are 66.36
square miles, an increase of 12.9
square miles in 1915.
Seven more school buildings are in
use this year than in 1915. The num
ber this year is 67.
An increase is noted in church
building from 141 in 1915 to 243 this
year, with a property valuation of
$3,150,000.
