trict No. 1 levy a tax of 2.5 mills. The
county and road-tax levy Is jet to be

--
The Council committee on- ways and
means, members of the Common Council,
and Messrs. Mills and McMasters, repre
sentatives from the Board of Public
Wqrk, and the Mayor and the City Engln
eer, met yesterday to pass on the estimates
of the various departments, and to agree
on what sum to recommend as the tax
levy, and the appropriations for the va
rious city departments, for the current
year. They were in session until after 5
P. M. Finally, after considerable dlscus
6lon, they agree dto recomend a levy of
7 mills. This will yield a total of $291,
3S2 SS, which makes 4 per cent allowance
for delinquencies.
The Board of Public "Works had submit
ted estimates for the City Engineer's
and the Street Cleaning and Sprinkling
Departments. The estimate for the En
gineer's Department amounted to about
591,000, and that for the Street Cleaning
and Sprinkling Department to $53,809. This
Included two 10-ton rollers for the City
Engineer's Department, the purchase of
which Messrs. Mills and McMasters
utrongly urged, on account of the much
better quality of streets which it
would he possible to make with
their aid. It was their belief that when
a contract for street work -was let, the
city should take charge of the rolling and
charge the contractor for It, a plan which
has been found to yield good' results. In
other cities. The large increase In the
estimate for the Engineer's Department
over'-that of last year was, however, prin
cipally for the purchase of crushed rock,
gravel and lumber for street repairs.
Some of the Councilmen strongly favored
a levy of 7 or 7 mills, but finally with
drew the motions, and agreed to the 7
znlll levy. This will be divided as follows:
Fire Department, 2 mills.
Police Department, 1& mills.
Light fund, 1 mills.
Street repair fund, 4 mill.
Bonded Indebtedness fund, 2 mills.
This v, 111 net to the various departments,
after deducting delinquencies, the fol
lowing sums:
Fire Department. JS3.252 23.
Police fund, $6G.G55 00.
Light fund, J52,032 00.
Street repair fund, 510,406 53.
Bonded Indebted interest fund, $S3,252 (X).
It is recommended to the Council to give
from the general fund to the Fire Depart
ment fund the sum of 51748, which will
give the department In all $85,000; and to
the Police Department fund from the gen
eral fund 55345, giving- to that department
for the year 570,000. This latter sum wIU
be transferred at once and will be made
available for payment of January and
February salaries; otherwise the police
would have to wait until taxes were col
lected for their January salaries.
To the light fund there will be trans
ferred from, the general fund 52168, which
iv ill provide for a few more lights than
at present; but a very few.-
To the street repair fund there will be
transferred from the general fund- 510,t
000, which will Increase the fund to 520,40b,
In addition to the balance of some 53000
carried over from list year.
To the bonded Indebtedness interest fund
there will be transferred from the general
fund the sum of 552,650, lo provide for
deficiency In the amount produced by the
2-mill levy. It requires about 5135,400 to
pay the interest on the city's bonded in
debtedness. The amount remaining in the general
fund will be appropriated as follows: For
general expense of the Engineer's of
fice, 528,500.
For street cleaning and sprinkling, 545,
000. For expense of garbage crematory, 54450.
Expense of City Hall, 54525.
Advertising, 54000.
Improvement of streets in front of pub
lic property, 52500.
Expenses of Mayor's, Auditor's, City
Treasurer's and City Attorney's offices,
Munclpal Court, Inspector of Plumbing
and Drainage, City Physician, Health De
partment, etc.. 539,200.
The members of the committee and
Council looked very favorably on the prop
osition to increase the efficiency of the
Flre Department by the purchase of an
other fire engine and a water tower, and,
if the receipts of the general fund Justify
it, a special appropriation will probably
be made for that purpose.
A delegation from Sunnyslde was pres
ent at the meeting and strongly urged the
necessity of a fire engine being provided
for that flourishing section of the city.
The members of the Council also ex
pressed themselves as favorable to more
extensive street repairs by the Board of
Public Works, as such repairs can in
many Instances be made better and more
cheaply by a department organized and
equipped for that purpose, and which
'will attend to such repairs, than by the
property-owners, who will not attend to
them. It Is safe to say that if there Is
any superfluous money In the general
fund, or a raise Is made from any source
whatever. It will be applied to this class
of repairs and perhaps to the purchase of
the much-desired street-rollers.
IK 1ASTERN MULTNOMAH.
Ckeese Fjiciory to Branch Oat Witk
Jicw Methods.
GRESHAM. Or., Jan. 13. A new ar
rangement Is soon to be made by one of
the Eastern Multnomah cheese factories
which will be of Interest and benefit to
all dairymen in this section. A partner
ship has been proposed by a Canadian
gentleman who has for years been the
general superintendent of the McPh'er
son combination of 67 creameries and
cheese factories in Ontario, Canada. He
has had a life-time experience in the bus
iness, and the capital of the newflrm will
be ample
A feature of the business, new to Ore
gonlans, but which has been in vogue
for. 10 or 12 years in Ontario, will be put
into- practice early the coming Spring.
This Ms te traveling separator. Several
modern tubular, turbine machine with
small boilers and engines for operating
them will be placed on trucks and en
closed so as to protect them from the
weather. Routes will be established
along which these machines will travel,
stopping at patrons' premises, skimming
the milkf leaving the skimmed milk on
the farm and retaining the cream and
conveying it to the factory. It will not
be necessary for the separator to return
to the factory dally, as the cream could
be "pasteurized" with steam from the
boiler, which would prevent It souring for
several days, should the routes be Ions
ones.
There will be an immense gain to the
farmers by this method, as it will save
each of them from 5100 to 5125 for a hand
separator as well as the labor of operat
ing it from one to three' hours dally.
Besides, there will be the saving of wear
and tear and trouble in keeping a ma
chine clean and the time in taking milk
or cream to the factory.
Top prices will be paid for the cream
thus" gathered, as it will be used in the
manufacture of Ice cream, which pays
from 50 to 100 per cent more profit than
butter. These separators will not oper
ate close to the factory, but will go long
distances away. Near-by milk will be
taken at the factory and be made Into
cheese as at present. The finished
products will be put on the market
through the regular channels of trade, as
nothing will be retailed or peddled from
house to house.
WILL EXTEND THE SPUR.
O. R. & A. Gractias Beyond St. Jokas
to tke Colarabla.
Nearly all the grading on the O. R. &
N. spur to St, Johns has been finished,
and a considerable portion of the long
trestle across Mock's low ground has
been completed. The spur begins south
of the Portland Flour Mills. From the
point of beginning the trestle Is finished
across the low ground to the edge of the
bluff east of the flour mills. Considerable
filling has been done at the south end of
this trestle. Tracklaying has now been
commenced. North of the flour mills the
roadbed Is being leveled up.
Across the Mock bottom the piles for
the trestle arc being driven In sections.
Two drivers were at work yesterday.
Around the bluff below the Columbia
University and ground there Is still grad
ing In progress, but here the roadbed is
rapidly nearlng completion. From Uni
versity Point to St. Johns much work baa
been done.
The work seems to be carried beyond
St, Johns, Tvhlch has been supposed to be
the objective point of the spur. From
indications the intentions seem to be to
extend the branch on down the Peninsula
to the Columbia River. There are sev
eral camps along the route of the spur,
two being near the Portland Flour Mills,
one on the bottom below the Columbia
University, and at St. Johns there Is a
camp. The water In the river is very low,
so that some difficulty is experienced in
getting pires to the trestle in the Mock
bottom.

There is a little Improvement in the
condition of the Rev. N. Doane, pioneer

AGENTS AND DISTRICT DEPUTY OF AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
OF TRAVELING PASSENGER AGENTS.
M. J. Roche, of the Rio Grandes. yesterday received notice that he had been
appointed district deputy of the American Association of Traellns Paseenser
Agents. He Is also president of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents.
He is passenger representative of the Rio Grandes in the Portland field, and an
active worker among railroad rata as well as a popular man with the general
public
The Pacific Coast Association of Trade Agents was' organized at Ashland, Or.,
Tebruary 22, 1001. It has for Its objects tho promotion of closer friendships be
tween the members, to secure their mutual advantage, and for the furtherance
of the Interests of their respective companies. Its membership Is made up of those
engaged In the soliciting of business, both passenger and freight The officers
chosen at the Initial--meeting were: President, M. J. Roche, of the Rio
Grande Western, Portland; vice-president Percy Sinclair, of the Lehigh Valley,
Seattle, and secretary-treasurer, B. H. Trumbull, of the Illinois Central, Port
land. The second meeting "of the association was held In San Francisco, November
21 last. This time and place were chosen because of the meeting In Los An
geles of the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents, it being ex
pected that nearly all the Northern members of the local association would be
In Ban Francisco at that time. At tho San Francisco meeting Messrs. Roche
and Trumbull were re-elected president and secretary-treasurer, respectively,
and Jay W. Adams, of the Nickel Plate, San Francisco, was chosen vice-president.
The San Francisco meeting was adjourned to meet In Ashland, Or., February

tion Is In a most flourishing condition, and has now nearly 150 members.
did not send the beneficiary certificate to
the grand lodge to be canceled and a new
one issued. Stringham died suddenly, and
after his decease the certificate was sent
East to tho grand lodge, to be changed
by the secretary. Several months had in
the meantime elapsed since the applica
tion for the change was made.
The attorney for Mrs. Stringham, at
the trial of the case, contended that the
Intent of her husband that she should re
ceive the Insurance money was plainly
shown. Counsel for Mrs. Dillon argued
that Stringham failed to comply with the
rules and laws of the order, and allowed
several months to go by after he notified
the secretary of the lodge that he want
ed the policy in favor of his mother can
celed without having it done.
Judge Sears, following the decision of
the Oregon Supreme Court In the suit of
the Order of Foresters vs. Kellher, held
that when certain rules and regulations
are laid down by an order concerning In
surance, they must be fully complied with
when a change of the beneficiary named
In the original certificate, is asked for,
and if a member fails to do so the per
son named In the original certificate or
Insurance has a vested right in the money.
"WAITERS MAY CARRY BANNER.
Another Eort "Will Be Made to Ob
tain Restraining 'injunction.
Judge Sears refused yesterday for the
second time to Issue an order enjoining
the Walters' Alliance from carrying a
banner In front of the Palace Restau
rant. A. J. Hall, the proprietor of tho
restaurant, was the plaintiff in the case.
Judge Sears, In pasing upon the case, said
in part:
"This Is a motion for a preliminary In
junction based on the amended complaint.
I have already announced my decision on
the original complaint and have given the
amended complaint much study. The ar
gument was based on the same principles
as at first, and I see no reason for chang
ing my mind. I might state that Judge
George, who sat in the case with me,
does not agree with me, and thinks the
carrying of a banner Is a nuisance and
ought to be restrained. The motion will,
however, be denied."
Judge Sears was the presiding Judge
In the case, which was originally argued
before him alone, so his decision In the
matter rules. He said he did not know
what the other Judges would hold, and
an effort may be made to argue tire case
before the court, sitting en banc, if the
court will consent to hear it.
LANGWORTHY DAMAGE SUIT.
Action Against Sakarban Line for
$10,000 for InjarlcR.
The trial of the 510,000 damage suit of
A. J. Langworthy vs. the City & Sub
, urban Railway Company was commenced
yesterday before Judge Cleland and a
Jury Langworthy was a passcngerv.on
the Mount Tabor car on May 29, 1300, and
in getting off at East Twenty-ninth and
East Morrison streets was thrown to. the
ground. He. alleges that he sustained se
vere and permanent injuries to his hip,
aa4 atee tat tke trht of his right eye
was almost destroyed, from the effects I
or the shock.
Langworthy testified that he signaled
the conductor to stop, that the conductor
pulled the bell cord, and as the car
slowed down the conductor told him if
he wanted to alight he would have to
Jump. The plaintiff stated that Just as
he stepped off the conductor gave the
signal to start the car, which caused It
to give a sudden Jerk forward and occa
sioned the fall.
It appears that the car was what was
known as a through car, not supposed to
make frequent stops. Thevdefcnse, briefly
outlined, was that Langworthy Jumped
from the car without warning, and also
Jumped backward, and that when he was
being carried home In a chair he fre
quently remarked to the men carrying
him how sorry he was that he Jumped
off. The company says it was all his own
fault Dell Stuart and Henry E. McGinn
appeared as attorneys for Langworthy,
and John M. Gearin and Rufus Mallory
for the defense.

LIVING ON A MINIMUM
This Mas Subsists on Less Than
Eight Cents Per Day.
PORTLAND, Jan. 13. (To the Editor.)
If this discussion is not exhausted, the
following extract from the Philadelphia
Ledger "may be added to It:
"Through his course of studies and hab
its of living, Rodolfus Bingam, of Mer
chantvllle, N. J., has reached that point
where his daily food C03ts only 7?4 cents.
He figures out that the amount of pure
food material represented by this cost
supplies sufficient energy for men at
moderate labor. In his own case, he
prides himself on being a hard worker,
retiring usually about 10 o'clock at night,
rising at 4 in the morning, the year
through. With this average of six hours'
sleep every day, and with the less than
8 cents' worth of food prepared by his
own hands, he is, and has been for years,
able to perform arduous labor on his
small farm the day through, despite the
fact -that he Is now over 75 years of age.
He devotes the mornings before daylight
and the evenings after dark to study.
" 'I live on one staple food for two or
three weeks,' he says. Xast week it was
lima beans, this week it is persimmons.
The year through bread is ray maln'food.
It Is of whole wheat flour, cooked long
enough to destroy the starch. With the
flour I mix water or skim milk; no bak
ing powder or yeast. This bread costs me
6)4 cpnts, and with it I eat about 1 cent's
worth of dried fruit, making my total
dally rations to cost less than 8 cents.
Whether persimmons, potatoes, lima
beans, or whatever the food taken with
the bread, I endeavor to gauge the
amount each day, so as to secure from
200 to 250 units of potential energy. I do
not vary much from this. I have used
maize meal, and sometimes milk and eggs,
but generally the latter are too expen
sive. When I use milk I take out from
50 to 80 per cent of the water. Except
In hot weather, three pints of liquid
should balance three pints of solid food.
Most people take too much liquid. When
I diet on lima beans I cook them with
olive oil. Generally I want two or three
weeks on the same food. No, r do not
get tired of one food, but if it happens
occasionally I have found sassafras
leaves a remedy fqr vacuum In the stom

Pork I gave up many years ago. Neith

WITH THE BASEBALL PLAYERS
Brown, slate Center-Field for Port
land Has Been Released.
The Portland fans have begun to dis
cuss the coming baseball season, and
never before, during the Winter months,
has there been such a keen interest as
is now manifested In the great National
game.
Baseball attained unprecedented popu
larity in Portland last year, and tho
coming season will, no doubt, be one of
the most successful on record. Manager
"VIgneux is not Idle theso days, for he
Is attending to a great deal of correspond
ence, incident to the reorganization of
the team.
Speaking of the situation last evening.
Mr. "VIgneux made the following state
ment: "I have several hard-hitting out-fielders
In view, but have signed none of them
as yet. I have decided to release Brown,
who played center-field last year, as he
was somewhat weak at the bat. Brown
did good batting with the Great Falls
team, two years ago, but last season, his
work, in this department of the game
was a disappointment. Brown's release
was made at his own request. The team
will be stronger than last year, as far a3
batting is concerned, and I see no reason
why It should not be stronger In every
respect. I have signed a hard-hitting
in-flelder, whose name I shall announce
in a few days. The best material from
the 1901 nine will be with, us, and we
will Blgn no new men who are not 'tried
and true.
"I do not know much about the doings
of the other managers, but President
Lucas will be here tomorrow and he Is
no doubt In close touch with all of them.
The fact that there will be two new teams
and scores of new players in the league,
will make the sport alj the more inter
esting." Chapter Installation.

DR. BULL'S COUGH SYRUP
J. S. Burdett, the well-known humorist,
uses Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup exclusively
to prevent hoarseness and to cure
coughs and colds. Thousands of public
speakers, clergymen and singers, like Mr.
Burdett, pay tribute to Dr. Bull's Cough
Syrup as the only cough cure. Mr. Bur
dett, whose residence Is 238 West One
hundred and- Twenty-sixth street. New
York City, says: "Since I have been re
citing in public I And it necessary to
take something to keep my throat in nor
mal condition and free from hoarseness
and coughs. I have taken
DR. BULL'S COUGH SYRUP.
exclusively for the past five years, and
find It not only prevents hoarseness, but
it keeps me free from coughs and colds.
I heartily recommend It to any one who
speaks or sings in public, or to any one
who is troubled with sore throat, coughs,
tonsilitls or bronchitis."
Thousands of patients have found DR.
BULL'S COUGH SYRUP just as benefi
cial as did Mr. Burdett. It is the best
cough cure ever discovered, and is per
fectly harmless. Sold by all reliable drug
gists; large bottles. 25c Refuse substi

sist on getting the genuine the on that
always cures and is perfectly harmless.
