FLAT RATE PUT IN EFFECT Meier Charge Will Apply Only in Cases . Where It Is Necessary, to Check Waste Supply 'City" I zoses Many Thousands. Circuit Judge Cleland's recent decision on water rates has hit the Water Board a heavy blow. At a special meeting of the ' Board, held yesterday afternoon, it vii shown that the receipts, as the rales will be governed in future, will run from $21,000 to JoS.000 a year below the usual amount. However, the charge to con sumers has already been fixed to comply with the ruling of the court. In effect, J u dire Cleland decided that it is Illegal for the Water Board to charge a flat rate and a meter rate at one and the same time, and he held that the city must charge Only one rate; it may fix a meter rate or a flat rate, as It may be . deem best. At the meeting yesterday afternoon the members voted to put into Immediate ef fect a fiat rate to all consumers, and in cases where there is waste of the supply, the water Is to be shut off. Meters are 'to be used merely as a check to wtste. and persons disregarding the rules of the, Board will find the water turned off, and. in all probability, will be arrested and prosecuted in the Municipal Court. A new reservoir is to be constructed on ' Portland Heights, and Superintendent Dodge, of the Water Department, sug gested that the work be done by con tract. This, he explained, would enable . the successful bidder to furnish work for some of the unemployed men of the city. After brief discussion. It was decided hv the Board to instruct the engineer of the water department to draw up plans nnd specifications. Bids will be called for by advertising and the contract will be let within the next month. Superin tendent Dodge stated that there will be plenty of work for the civil service em ployes of the Water Department, aside from the building of the reservoir, and he believed it would serve a good pur pose to let the contract on bids. Additional Jurors Drawn. It was necessary to draw 25 additional jurors In the Circuit Court yesterday morning when the roll, containing the names of the 61 who were to serve dur ing the March term, was called. Only 31 Jurors reported, but IS of the absent 20 had been excused by Juitee Cleland. Bench warrants wet issued for- the others, bat three of them presented good reasons for their non-attendanoe. The additional jurors drawn are as follows: J. W. Brown. M. F. Brady. I. Buell. . Themas J. R. Cox. -H. A- Chapman. S.. n. Oarnahan. George: W. Cummings. P. I E. Clinkett. H. M. Clinton, H. Dia mond.

Padding, convicted of conspir ing . to ruin the .reputation of Mayor Lane, was released from jail yester day morning; on 1000 cash bail, his at torney. Seneca Fouts, depositing 600 in gold and $400 in currency with the Countv Clerk. The verdict against Raddlng and Mrs. Belle Waymlre was returned last Tuesday night. 'and their bonds were immediately raised from $500 to $1000. Badding at once ap plied his bail to that of Mrs. Way-mire, thus releasing her. He said his, bail would be forthcoming the next morn ing, but he has been in Jail several davs. Neither Raiding nor Attorney Ko'uts are inclined to say who Is fur nishing the bail. Yesterday afternoon Seneca Fouts filed in the Circuit Court a motion for a new trial on the technical ground that counsel for the defendants were not present when the verdict -ws read, and therefore could not poll the jury. Patrick Bruin is named as the star wit ness in the new trial, should such be obtained. He is said to have heard statements from Mayor Lane regard ing his reason for inviting Mrs. Way mire to his downtown office at such frequent intervals. Other persons are also said to know some "inside facts regarding the' Waymlre-Lane affair, whose knowledge had not come to the attention of the attorneys for the de fense at the time of the recent trial. These persons are said to be occupants of the Hamilton building, where Dr. Lane's office is located, but their names are not given. Not the Accepted Design. PORTLAND. Or.. March 2. (To the. Editor.)

HERBERT KELCEY AT HIS ZENITH IN "THE WALLS OF JERICHO" And He Attains True Greatness, Says Arthur A. Greene, in His Delivery of the "Denunciation" Speech. I . Metxger. jeweler, optician. 342 Wash. BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. HERBERT KELCET is a most un actoresque sort of man, both on and off the stage. He's scarcely a whit different in his dressing-room than he is during the time he holds his audience in the grip of his genius as an exponent of the restrained, natural and best methods of acting. He has not visited Portland in some years, about five 1 believe, appearing here last in "Sherlock Holmes." For 29 years he has been a leading factor in the. development of the mod ern American stage, although English born. He came to New York from Drury I.sne, London, where he had previously appeared as understudy to Wilson Barrett and Sir Augustus Harris. He was brought over by Lester Wallack and appeared with the best artists of that time under the Wallack auspices. It was not long, however, until he reached stellar honors and, since his first venture in "A, Coat of Many Colors," he has steadily grown, both in his profession and in the hearts of the people of his adopted homeland. It seems to me that the very, zenith of his career has been reached in "The Walls of Jericho," and more explicitly in the few momenta when he attains true greatness in the denunciation scene. The text of that speech, with some omissions and the disadvantages of imperfect shorthand runneth tn this wise: "I've had enough of these companions of yours, these wretched, sexless women, who do nothing but flirt and gamble, these childless wives, who grudge the time it costs them to bring a baby into the world. I've had enough of their brainless, in decent talk where everything , good is turned into ridicule and each word has a double meaning. I've had enough of this existence of ours in town and country where all the men make love to their neighbors wives. I've done with it done with it all and so have you. "Haven't I had to stand by and see it all. year after year? Oh, yes. we've lived in a very amart set, and I dare say there have been one or two more who re spected the seventh commandment, and merely played with Are. And most hus bands, no doubt, are content that their wives should neglect them, as you have neglected me never give them a thought, have no time to look after their child. There's our baby upstairs you allowed a strange woman to give him her milk, so that you could play bridge and go danc ing. You see him a few minutes each day you've so much to do. "As for me. the schemes I've had at heart my hopes and ambitions it's a long time now since I've dared speak of them. I've been poor, foolish Jack, who didn't play cards or waltz. I was dull and a bore. But the first fop who came along, the first smirking dandy, who could whisper and ogle and tell you tid bits of scandal he was amusing and pleasant. "It's pleasure, pleasure, pleasure from morning to night, from one year's end to another. You and your friends forget for what purpose God made you and turn to mere empty dolls. Well. I say. to hell with all this. You're my wife and not my mistress. 1 married because I wanted a mate and a partner and I'm tired of the life we've led, in which you ve been neither. - And so we'll go, we two. We'll leave this rotten West End. We'll go back to nature and begin things over again." This is the great speech which leads up to the denoument of one of the few really purposeful dramas, that have .been written in EngliEh In a score of years. The lines gain infinite force when read in Mr. Kelcey's masterly manner. HEAVY SNOW IN SOUTH j STAGE AXD MAIL SERVICE COM PLETELY BLOCKED. Crescent City Stage Buried in Six Feet of Snow Heavy Loss of Stock Is Feared. GRANTS PASS, Or., March 1 (Special) Snow has been falling for nearly 50 hours in the mountains around Grants Pass. : completely demoralizing stage and rural communication and delaying all malls by star routes. Marooned in the side of a mountain in over six feet of snow, the Crecent City stage stands, deserted by its passengers and driver. No mail has been received from Coast points for two days. A re lief stage will be' sent out in the morn ing and will go as far as the weather will permit. It is reported that on the summit of the mountain the snow is 12 feet deep, and un less there is a change, it will be several days before communication can be es tablished with outside points. Coming so late in the season, and at a time when the stockmen are unprepared, there is liable to be a great loss of range stock. A sudden rise in temper ature with a Chinook wind is sure to bring high water and interfere with rail road traffic. UPHOLDS OREGON DECREE Appellate Court Rules on Insurance Controversy. SAN FRANCISCO. March 2. In sus taining the decree of the Ignited States Court of Oregon today. Judges Ross. Morrow and De Haven, as the Circuit Court of Appeals, held that the "loss payable" clause In an insurance policy is not comnatlble with the clause which provides that, unless the ownership of the property insured Is in the assured, the policy of the insured is void, and no loss under it can be collected unless what is known as a "union mortgage clause" is made a part of the policy. The case in point was the appeal of Daniel Brecht, plaintiff in error, against the Law Union & Crown Insurance Com pany, defendant in error. The verdict of the jury in the United States Circuit Court of Western Wash ington, which awarded Mary R. Laven der. Charles Stanley and Samuel Barlo $5-500 damages from the Pugtet Sound Navigation Company for the drowning of R. O. Leonard at Olga, a port in Pu get Bound, was also affirmed. The decree of the District Court of Montana in the case of Herbert Strain against H. 6. Palmer et al. was also affirmed, sustaining the judgment of the lower court in making a final order and decree in a receivership . matter. Extend Salem's Paved Area. SALEM, Or., March 2. (Special.)

Granted Injunction Against Railroad Commission's Order Re ducing, Fare to Five Cents. - SALEM, Or., March 2. (Special.) Judge Galloway tonight granted a temporary injunction against the Oregon Railway Commission enjoining it from putting Into immediate effect the reduction of 5 cents in passenger fares from Portland to Mll waukie and various other places on the Oregon Water Power lines. The temporary injunction was granted upon the argument of F. T. Griffith, of Oregon "City, attorney for the compan who based his petition upon the groun: that if the court, after a hearing upol the merits, should find that the rale established by the Commission are un reasonable. t the company would suffer ir reparable injury and loss by reason of the lower rates having been effective in the meantime. He asked that existing rates be permitted to remain until a hear ing can be had upon the merits. The Commission was represented by Attorney-General Crawford. Clyde B. Aitchison and Sp wall and Gillner, whi argued that the Commission's decision is prima facie evidence that the rates fixed are reasonable. Hearing on the merits was set for March 12.

SMITHS DAILY ROUND-UP EDITED BY THE FRANK L SMITH MEAT CO. " FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST 226 Alder Street, Between First and Second Streets VOL. 1. NO. 27. PORTLAND, OREGON, MARCH 3. 1908. PRICE YOUR PATRONAGE To the Public: Every day we are approached by peo ple who ask what is the meaning of this meat war? Whom are you fight ing?. We take this means of explaining our case to the Portland public. From 189 Frank L. Smith has been engaged in the meat business in this city. He is a native son of Oregon, this is his home town. Previous to 19.1 he was a strictly wholesale butcher selling meat to the retail mar kets of the city. The Chicago Beef Trust came to Portland and demanded that, every retailer In the city buy from them only. Some of the butchers who insisted on patronizing Smith were obliged to pay the Trust a fine of from : to $:!5 in gold coin, and this in America, the land of the free. At the same time the retailers were hand ed a 8chedule of high prices at which all were obliged to sell so that every body "will make money." Smith then opened a retail market and offered meat to the public at wholesale prices. How the people came to Smith s and how thev staved by him. and how they helped him in his fight against the world-famed monopoly, the Beef Trust, is a storv that is being interwoven with the history of Portland. The Beef Trust appointed an agent to try to buy out Smith, and this iff the argument the agent used: "If you don't sell out we will put a market right up against vou and drive vou out, and if one mar ket can't do the work, we will put tn another on the other side of you. Smith would not sell out. Smith will never sell out, nor . will they ever be able to drive Smith out. Walt and see! We want your trade, reader, be it little cr much, every little counts. Hundreds of Portland's 'merchants and best people have offered us their. moral support and pledged us their patronage. You will see them any hour of the day at Smith's. Said an old-time merchant -not long ago: "Smith. I hope, you will j lick tht-m plumb back to the Ftncky Mountains. !t them see that West ern people have. Western grit, and that I we w ill stand together for our rights when we must." FRANK L SMITH MEAT CO. LENTEN FISH Buy -at Smith's.. No cold-storage nor , frozen fish at Smith's.
