efforts of various communities to eradi
cate municipal corruption. The speaker
dwelt at length on the changed attitude
of the public toward the liquor question
and to the gains made by the prohibition

Reference, was also made to the delib
erations of the recent American Medical
Conference, which declared itself strongly

speaker referred with regret to the defeat
of various anti-liquor measures presented
at the recent Congress. She expressed her
warm approval of the action of various
railroads and other large corporations
against the employment of those who use
Intoxicants.
Mrs. Brown recommended the federa
tion of ail temperance societies In the

In conducting the campaign for
state prohibition. She also pointed out
the Injuriousncss of the product known as

taken to have It disposed of the same as
Intoxicating liquors. Mrs. Brown also
urged that the organisation encourage as
much as possible the establishment of
reading-rooms, playgrounds, ciubrooma
and libraries for young men, to counter
act the evil attractions of the saloons and

ADRUNKETN old man. a French bull
dear and a blushing young woman
formed the basis for prolonged
laughter on an out-bound Mount Tabor
car last night. The doggie was the inno
cent cause of the whole affair, but It
made no difference to the Intoxicated in

the extra dry liquid rye he had Imbibed.

caused him to waive the usual formali
ties, and to ask questions, insisting upon
an answer in each case from the em
barrassed mistress.
The French bull was attired in the

legs entirely vtaible. but his little body
was fully covered: nis ne.au sat wui ium
his fat, short neck, and he cast admiring
glances at the passengers, some of whom
did not admire htm. However, he did not
seem to notice the slight.
Of a sudden the intoxicated old man
caught sight of the bull, which oocupled
a seat by Its mistress, she having paid
full fare for two. Anyway, the car was
overcrowded, and the dog was too small
to stand and hang on to a strap, so it
was up to others to perform that stunt,
and the dog didn't seem to care; he was
comfortable.

Blushlngly, she turned her head, for
,i .nn..,Mn(, one on the aldewaik
that attracted her attention, it seemed.
But the dog, snowing ms peariy usem,
growled a saucy growl, in the nature of
a warnlner. He didn't appreciate the in
trusion and the apparent slur cast upon
his own precious aristocratic self.
"Bur-r-r-r," said the drunken old man,
shaking his flabby right fist at his dog
lets. "Grur-r-r-r." answered the proud dog.
and his mistress put her hand to her
forehead and scrutinized the outside by
the penetrating force of her dashing
black eyes. It was embarrassing, for she
was gazed at by the entire car of peo
ple, who enjoyed the Joke far better than
she. Her discomfiture was especially the
delight of her sisters, who "tee-heed"
during the whole performance.
"I shay, whut 'n eart' you call hlra.

and again he shook rus nst at xne aug.
and the dog growled loudly at him. "Fun
niest shing ever seen in my life," drawled
the rve-full one.
Without casting any undue- reflexion
upon the dog, it must be admitted that
he was not pretty In the face, but tnia
plainly was not his fault: but it served
to frighten the drunken old man, who

and to remark that he was not afraid;

SUBMITS MILK LAW
Cottel Renews His Fight for
Dairy Regulation.
MEASURE IS DRASTIC ONE
Proposed Ordinance Provides for
Inspector, Tnder Health Board,
to Assure Purity and Cleanli
ness, Including Restaurants.
Councilman Cottel, physician-druggist,
is about to launch an ordinance regulat
ing the dairy industry and milk supply
of Portland. It is the ambition of his
official life to see the measure enacted
into a law. He believes it to be the
most Important question of the day in
relation to the health of the public The
proposed ordinance covers every feature
of milk production and is patterned after
the one in force in Seattle.
The ordinance as drafted will be pre
sented to the Council next Wednesday,
and will probably be referred to the com
mittee on health and police. Dr. Cottel
desires the interests affected to investi
gate the measure and to study its provi
sions so that the dairymen, as well as
the general public, may understand Its
terms before it is passed. He believes
it to be an exceptionally fine measure.
and declares t.iat its enforcement would
work wonders in bettering the public
health. It provides for standards of pro
duct, and for a milk inspector, and
specifies his duties. It also calls for
rigid inspection of dairies, analysis of
milk, and sets forth in detail various
features of vital importance to cleanli
ness. Certificates to Be Issued.
Section 5 of the proposed ordinance pro
vides that no person, firm or corporation
shall conduct a dairy until full inspec
tion has been made by the Inspector of
milk. This Inspection Includes not only
the milk, but the stables, food for the
cattle, water supply and everything con
nected with the dairy. The employes
muBt also meet certain requirements and
a certificate must be Issued to the pro
prietor before he may open for business
or offer for sale any milk in the city
limits.
Section 6 provides for the inspection of
all milk sold within the city limits, and
inspection of all darles from which milk
is sold in the city, and makes it the duty
of the inspector to render a written re
port to the Board of Health, and also, if
bad conditions are found, to notify the
offender to remedy the situation. Unless
such condition is remedied within a rea
sonable time, it is the duty of the inspec
tor to revoke the permit under which
the dairy Is operated.
Section T forbids the sale of milk or
cream within the city limits without there
is displayed by the dealer on each wagon
a properly signed certificate, which must
be J;ept in plain view. Section 8 contains
similar provisions, regulating wagons.
Section 9 provides for the manner in which
receptacles must be kept in all instances
where milk or cream is to be sold in the
city, and that all cans must be thorough
ly cleaned Immediately after emptied,
and that they must be shipped back to
the sender within 24 hours. Sections 10
and 11 relate to the standards, which
are loft blank in the proposed measure,
and will be filled In when the ordinance
cornea up for action before the com
mittee or by the Council.
Must Not Tse Adulterants.
Section 13 sprovldes that no milk from
diseased cows shall be sold," and also
that it shall be unlawful for any one
to sell adulterated milk or cream. Sec
tions covering the delivery of milk and
cream are also included, and one sec
tion provides that no one shall dispose
of skimmed milk in a hotel or restaurant
without first displaying a sign, to be
provided, signifying that it is skimmed
milk, the exact words being, "We Serve
Skimmed Milk."
Section 19 deals with inspection, and
is sweeping, making it the duty of the
inspector thoroughly to examine all prem
ises where milk is handled, sold or kept
for sale. Including restaurants. The in
spector is given the right to enter any
such place at any hour of the day or
night, and provides that the permit of
any one interfering with the work of the
inspector shall be revoked, after proof of
such interference is established.
Section 20 gives in detail the duty of
the inspector in securing samples of milk
and cream for analysis. The inspector
is to take two samples, one to be given
for analysis to the State Dairy and Food
Commissioner or a chemist designated by
the Board of Health, and the other to be
given to the dealer Involved.
Milk May Be Condemned.
The inspector, if he feels Justified, may
condemn quantities of milk or cream, and
destroy the product, and if the analysis
proves the product pure, the city is liable
for the amount destroyed. Section 24 pro
vides for the publication of the results
of analysis in the daily newspapers, this
to be conducted by the Board of Health.
Section 25 makes it the duty of the

A monkey s monkeying with the

of an hour, stopping the trolley cars,
putting- out lights in every portion of

over the monk refused to die but was
chloroformed by a veterinarian 20 min
utes after being rescued because, while
admitting tnat migni. ..u.
seemed too great a pity to let it suffer.
It all came about in this way. Yes

trained animal show playing at" the
Orpheum this week was chained on a
rire escape . ' - - " .
some five stories above the street. The
ingenious little Deasi m mnuuci
succeeded in picking the lock which
was attached to his chain and made a
quick descent to the street. Pursued
by a crowd wnicn naa uracrvto ius
eh mnik ran across the
Uftiiruiri,
.tree, his chain trailing behind him,
and scampered up the big iron stand-
pipe at the west wall of The Oregonlan
building to the roof of the distributing
plant of the Portland General Electric
Company, adjoining. Strung across the
roof of this building Is a mass of high
voltage power cables from the main
power station. The monkey was ap
parently disconcerted by the cries of
the crowd in the street and appeared
to be bewildered for a moment. Then
he hopped into the finest mass of live
wires that ever electrocuted a monkey.
His chain swung across two of the
highly-charged cables and formed a
short circuit- From that moment until
power was turned on from the Oregon
City plant the town wasr paralyzed
Something over 10,000 volts went gal
loping througB the little unfortunate,
which let out a terrified squeak and
tied Itself into a knot. The monk was
hurled by the terrific force of the
current against the fire wall between
the two buildings and finally, rolled
down an alrshaft into the basement of
the General Electric Company's build
ing, where it was rescued by its keep
er. It did not appear at first that the
little animal was seriously hurt, not
withstanding the fact that the chain
was melted off its neck and It had
received sufficient voltage to kill a
dozen men. On closer examination,
however, it was discovered that the
monkey was seriously burned, and it
was decided to kill it with chloroform
in order to end its sufferings.
So it happened that the fatal adven
ture of a little monkey that one could
almost put in one's pocket cost great
corporations a considerable sum of
money, stopped the activities of a big
city for 15 minutes and played more
hob generally than the death of. a
dozen potentates.

How Would You Like to Be Worth $500,000,000? How Would You Like to Begin
On a Capital of 75 Cents and Accumulate So Vast a Sum?
HOW ROCKEFELLER DID IT
In a recent Interview reported In the New York Journal
John D. Rockefeller has given ona of the Important principles
which has helped him to achieve the moot gigantic fortune
known to modern tlmea In that interview Mr. Rockefeller
stated that at the age of 13 he was digging: potatoes for a
neighbor at the munificent rate of 75 cents for a day of ten
hour. Ha had already saved a Uttla money, "and it dawned
upon me ona day." said tha oil kins, "that If I could Invest
what I bad saved at 7 per cent., which was tha local rata
at that time. I would soon (tet mora than I could sarn at
digging potatoes, and not have a backache, eltheri 1 waa
verv deeply Impressed then with the advantage of having
your money work for you. and." ha added characteristically,
"I have never ftrgotten that." Nevor forgotten It, Indeed!
Today Rockefeller has a fortune of TIVB HUJDRED
MILI-IONS OP IOti.ARB to bear wltn.aa at tha constancy
of tha thourht la his nilnd.
FOOD FOR REFLECTION
But and this Is the point to remember Rockefeller not earning ratio of money. He learned that it could earn more
only learned that mcney earns money that It Is aa good enormously mora and tha realisation has mails nun a
for an owner aa a man working for him constantly but ha multl-mllllonalre.
also learned that 7 per cent was tin his day) the minimum
THE ART OF MONEY-MAKING
Some men get rich. Others remain poor. The difference he had $R500 and had put It at interest at the rate of" 7 pat
$19.554.15. Tom Lawson. In his recent attack n Rockefeller,
tells us that Mr. Rockelller made, in -3 years, not $1B
but FIVE HUNDRED MIIJ.10NS OF DOLLARS the Ufa
earnings of 150.000 people.
l Rlmnlv n difference of methods. Some men save money
but let the saved funds earn nothing for them. Other men
save monev, and let the saved fund earn a little for them
by depositing It In a bank at 8 to 4 per cent. Take the
case of. Rockefeller. If, when digging In tha potato patch
ROCKEFELLER PUT HIS MONEY TO WORK
The oil king is. of course, a phenomenon. Such Instances
of great Individual success are comparatively rare, but the
point Is that as Rockefeller got rich he mala others,
thousands of others, rich with hlra. His success began In
1865. when Mr. Rockefeller. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Flagler
united aa a firm, the i:ause lejiding to the combination, to
quota Mr. Rockefellers own words, being:
"To unite our skill and capital, in order to carry en a
business of some magnitude and Importance tn piaco i m.
small business that each had separately carried ".
From this combination sprang the standard OU Company,
whl-h in 24 vears has earned for its stockholders over S0O.
O0O.M0. enrichlnr Its early stockholders far beyond the
dreams of avarice!"
THE EARNING POWER OF MONEY
When money and opportunity get in touch the combina
tion has tremendous breeding possibilities. An astounding
prolific crop of dollars Is the result. Some men look at the
r.pportuntty but do not perceive it. Others maw others do.
Those who recognise the smile beneath Opportunity's mask,
firmlv seise her. and are swept onward to great fortune.
For example: If Rockefeller, -say. in ISU9. not navlng
learned that deposits at Interest represent the minimum
earning power of money, as the strength of childhood repre
sents the minimum power of man if, we say, not having
learned this ha had bought In. 1899 a 8 per cent certiticata
of deposit In the Chemical National Bank of New York, nla
money to date would have earned him 3 per cent per annum,
whllef If ha had BOUGHT SHARES OF 6TOCK In tha
Chemical National Brink In the same r'r- his . T'0,';!'

Judge Wolverton yesterday, after hear
ing arguments in the application for an
Injunction, brought by Receiver R. S.
Howard, Jr., of the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company, issued a temporary re
straining order against Theodore How
land. Walter S. Fortiner and Bushong &
Company, to prevent them from printing
a map of Portland, declared by Receiver

States copyright. Attorneys W. C. Bris
tol and 9. B. Iinthlcum appeared for Re
ceiver Howard and Cole & Cole for How
land and Fortiner.
The attorney for the Title Guarantee
& Trust Company asked that a perma
nent injunction be issued against the

by the Title company as draftsmen to
prepare the map, they also decided to
Issue one on their own account, not
withstanding they had been paid for their
services by the Title Guarantee & Trust
Company. It Is also alleged that the
material used oy Howland and Fortiner
in their map was obtained and paid for
by the Title Company.
LAXD TRIAL BEGINS MONDAY
Becker Returns From Preparing Ev

Tracy C. Becker, special assltant to
the Attorney-General, returned to
Portland yesterday morning from TjOH
Angeles, where he has been for some
time preparing evidence for the ap
proaching trial of the so-called Paclflc
Furniture Company. The trial Is set
for next Monday, and another long
Oregon land-fradu trial will be fought
out. All of the defendants are resi
dents of California and fought hard to
keep the Government removing them
from Los Angeles to Portland for trial.
While on his way to Portland Mr.
Becker had a conference with Francis
J. Heney regarding the remaining so
called Heney cases tliat are yet to be
tried. Just at present Mr. Heney Is
busily engaged in the Ruef trial, and
it may be that he will not be able to
take up the trial of Blnger Hermann,
set for November 9. Should this be
the case. Mr. Becker says the Hermann
trial will again be postponed. Most of
the other land-fraud trials will be
tried by Mr. Becker.
