It belongs to the lady
who sent in those love
ly feather-weight bis
cuits. Everybody has a near
neighbor who has an
Eclipse.'
Wherever there's an
"Eclipse" there's a lot
of cooking enthusiasm
With every "Eclipse"
goes a fifteen-year guar
antee. More "Eclipse" ranges
are in use than any
other make.
Why? The world's
best Range is known
to be "Eclipse."
( And there are fifteen
deciding reasons as
to why it should be an
"Eclipse.")
When you knock
if there's a smile at the
door, it's the "Eclipse"
in the kitchen.
You will find a cer
tain magnetic charm
about the "Eclipse"
not true of other
ranges.
It's the life the ever
lasting, ever-satisfying
energy.
The Style, the Quality,
the Appointment.
The Range of reason
and of choice.

FAVOR GULCH SITE
Health Board Members Ad
here to First Choice.
TAKE NO FORMAL ACTION
Council Is Now Left to Select New
. Grounds on West Side for
City's Garbage
Burner.
If any report on the garbage crema
tory question is submitted to the Coun
cil at Its meeting this afternoon it will
probably be a second recommendation
of the site at the mouth of Sullivan's-
Gulch, on the East Side. Although the
Health Board has not met since the
last session of the Council, individual
members have declared that they still
favor the East Side location and have
authorized Health Officer Pohl to so re
port to the Council.
, At the last meeting of the Council
the proposed site at the mouth of Sul
livan's Guich was rejected in deference
to a strong protest from East Side
property owners. It was then voted to
ask the Health Board to name a new
site on the West Side. This the board
has not done and. from all indications,
if the Council wants a West Side loca
tion for the crematory it will have to
select it.
"Two members of the Health Board
have authorized me to say that they
still favor the location on the East
Side," said Dr. Pohl last night. "The
board has held no meeting and I do
not suppose that a report will be sub
mitted to the Council tomorrow. These
members feel that they used their best
Judgment in picking out this site in
the first place and they see no reason
to change their opinion." .
It is not likely that the Council will
reconsider its former action and locate
the crematory on the East Side and if
the Health Board refuses to change its
recommendation the question of where
the Incinerator is to go will be as far
from settlement as ever. It is now
generally conceded that a central loca
tion on the West Side is most desir
able, but none of the city officials
seems anxious to assume the responsi
bility of naming the exact place.
DISCUSS IMPORTANT MATTERS
Council Will Consider Water Tower
at Meeting Today.
An appropriation for a water tower, a
new franchise, for the People's Market
Association, and the proposed improve
ment of Belmont street with bitulithic
pavement are matters pn which there will
probably be considerable discussion at
the regular meeting of the Council this
afternoon. Considerable routine business
and several other matters of some Import
ance are to be brought up, but it is prob
able that the session will be the most
quiet that has been held for some time.
A majority report of the ways and
means committee will be submitted rec
ommending an appropriation for a water
tower and a minority report will oppose
the purchase. There promises to be a
lively skirmish oyer this question as
Rushlight and Keilaher, who signed the
minority report, say that they will carry
the fight into the Council. Cottell,
Vaughn and Dunning favor the purchase
of the tower and are backed up by of
ficials of the fire department.
For several years Chief Campbell has
been endeavoring to add a water tower
to the equipment of the department. Re
cently Max Fleischner, chairman of the
fire committee of the Executive Board,
has also been active in the matter and
the proposed appropriation was inaugur
ated by him through resolution. Rush
light and Keilaher desire to locate an engine-house
In the vicinity of the hospitals
before money is set aside for the water
tower. '
The new franchise asked for by the
People's Market Association is practic
ally the same as the present one, with
the exception that a rental of $200 a
month is called for instead of $100 as at
present. The Council had threatened to
take the market block away from the
association, but agreed to consider a sub
stitute franchise before acting. Under the
new franchise the Council will probably
limit the association to the use of one
half of the block.
It is the suggestion of Vaughn that the
other - half be used as the site of a
public assembly hall. A resolution from
the ways committee will also be intro
duced today, providing for the appoint
ment of a committee to consider the feas
ibility of Vaughn's suggestion. There is
not sufficient money available to erect
the building this year but provision might
be made . for it under next year's esti
mate. The Belmont controversy has been one
of long standing but will probably be
definitely settled today. The question as
to whether more than half of the prop
erty is represented on the petition calling
for a bitulithic improvement Is to be de
cided by an opinion from the City At
torney. Mr. Kavanaugh last night had
not completed the work of checking up
the petition but expects to be ready to
report this afternoon.
Patrolman Takes Appeal. .
H. E. Parker, who was recently dis
charged from . the city's service as
patrolman, has taken an appeal from
the action of the Executive Board and
now demands a hearing, before the
Civil Service Commission. Parker was
dismissed from the force for frequent
tardiness and absence from duty. Only
two absences were charged against
Parker, but in the course of the in
vestigation It developed that he had
frequently been off duty in the past
and the board decided to discharge him.
In his appeal, Parker declares that the
findings of the board are "contrary
to the facts and evidence in the case."
MOST UNIQUE OPENING
Living Models Attract Thousands
of People.
Last evening literally thousands of
people gathered along Washington and
Tenth streets before the Eastern Out
fitting Co.'s windows, to watch the
novel promenade of women dresBed in
the handsomest of Imported gowns
wearing beautiful pictures hats dis
playing stoles', furs. Jackets, coats,
wraps, evening costumes, street cos
tumes, in short, every variety of femi
nine attire. The windows, handsomely
draped, formed aru avenue of splendor
such as was never before seen In the
city. The Eastern Outfitting Co. is
certainly to be congratulated on this
altogether novel. Interesting and in
structive feature of their Fall opening
innovation in the history of original
store window display.
This afternoon from 3 to 6. and to
night from 8 to 10. the promenade will
be continued, wholly new costumes be
ing introduced. The most elaborate
gowns are said to have been held, for
the last.

ROUNDS UP TAX-DODGERS
PERSONAL PROPERTVOWXERS
GIVE ASSESSOR TROUBLE.
Law Requires Them to List Their
Belongings, but Few Comply
With the Statute.
These days are full of trouble for
Assessor Sigler, who says it is a tre
mendous Job to round up the many per
sons who try to avoid or dodge personal
taxes. The assessment roll is waiting
for the completion of the personal as
sessment such as stocks In trade,
money, notes and accounts, stocks and
bonds, furniture, Jewels, machinery and
steamboats.
The law requires the assessor to ob
tain from every owner, a list of taxable
property "and if any person shall re
fuse to furnish such list, or to swear
to the same when required to do so
by the assessor, such person shall for
feit and pay to the assessor, for the
use of the county, the sum of $50,
which sum may be recovered by ac
tion in any court having Jurisdiction
of matters of debt or contract to the
amount of $50."
"One would hardly believe," said Mr.
Sigler yesterday, "that it is so hard
to get these tax statements or that so
many persons would try to escape
them. They are nearly all kickers, the
worst kickers of all taxpayers."
f The law requires that the assessment
roll be in the hands of the Board of
Equalization October 21, this year. Dur
ing the week then beginning the Board
will receive written protests against
Items of the roll. Mr. Sigler aims to
have the roll complete about October
10. for Inspection by taxpayers. This
will be an innovation, since heretofore
taxpayers have not had access to
the roll until the session of the Board
of Equllizatlon.
Owners of merchandise are putting
the assessor to a great deal of work,
by failing to submit lists for assess
ment. About 20 per cent of such own
ers fail to take the assessor Into their
confidence. They content themselves
With allowing the assessor to make an
arbitrary valuation, which they hope
will come under the actual value of the
property assessed. But If the assess
ment should be too high, they expect
to fight it In the Board of Equaliza
tion. s There are numerous owners of house
hold furniture, who give the assessor
a great deal of trouble looking them
up or tracing them from one part of
the city to another.
PORTLAND'S SHARE $13,000
Committee Will Raise Money lor
Auto Highway to the Coast.
To raise about $13,000 in Portland to
be used in the construction of an auto
mobile road between . Portland and Sea
side, Is the work cut out for the follow
ing committee of Portland men, ap
pointed by the Portland Automobile
Club: Lewis Russell. George Klelser, W.
H. Warren, I. N. Fleischner and George
Taylor. This cemmittee ' will outline
plans for raising the funds needed and
will then set actively to work to accom
plish the task. It Is desired to raise the
desired funds so that work may be un
dertaken on this road during the Winter,
when laborers will be more easily se
cured. The road to Seaside is in fairly good
shape, with the exception of the stretch
from St. Helens to Vesper. Columbia
County. Residents of that county agree
to raise two-thirds of the $40,000. the esti
mated post to build that part of the road,
provided Portland people will subscribe
one-third. It Is the plan to take ad
vantage of this offer, and the foregoing
committee was named to raise Portland's
share.
Members of the Portland Automobile
Club are enthusiastic over the projected
road to theBeach and expect that when
completed it will be a favorite run for
autos. Clatsop County promises to do all
the work necessary to put the road in
that county in good shape, and Multno
mah County Is expected to do likewise.
The route chosen runs from Portland
to St. Helens, thence through Pittsburg.
Mist. Vesper, Jewell, Olney and Astoria
to Seaside. The automlbile elub finds
that at no point on the route will the
grade be heavier than 7 per cent. T is
outlet to the Coast Is found' to be much
easier than to construct an auto road
to Tillamook, as was first proposed.

dence. The cabins are mere shacks about
8x10 feet, and R. T. Bnrhur, who has
Just returned from a hunting trip In
