COURT WILL PASS
ON CITY LIGHTING
Power Company Will Supply
Current Pending Decision
on Injunction Suit.
SERVICE MAY END TONIGHT
If Judge Gantcnbcln Rules Ajralnst
Municipality, After Argurncnts
This Afternoon, Arc Lamps
"Will Not Be Turned On.
Whether or not there will be lights
on the streets of Portland tonight de
pends upon the decision of Presiding
Judge Gantenbeln. of the date Circuit
Court, who will hear arguments on be
half of the city and the lighting com
pany at 2-o'clock this afternoon. The
controversy has gone Into court on
the application of City Attorney Kava
naugh for an injunction, restraining
the company from turning off the
light. President Josselyn announced
last night that he will not order the
circuits cut out until the hearing on
the Injunction prayer.
If the Injunction Is not Issued, dark
ness will prevail tonight, and people
will be In Imminent dancer of death
or Injury by Uiuks. This is the situa
tion which follows the positive refusal
of Mayor Lane and his K-tcutivo Hoard
of seven members to follow tho advice
of the City Attorney and negotiate to
avert this crisis.
"I'eniilnc the decision of the court,
we shall not cut out the public light
ing circuits." said president Josselyn
last night. "No snap judgment will
be taken by the company; we are cer
tain, however, that there is ho cause
for an Injunction, as there Is no state
of martial law. a condition, as I un
derstand it from our legal adviser,
which must prevail before such a writ
could Issue. I!ut. that there may be
no appearance of unfairness, we shall
await the outcome of tho arguments
to be held during the afternoon."
Gives Time for Injunction.
It would be possible. It Is said,
for the company to have proceeded at
daylight this morning to cut out the
public lighting circuits and get nheai
of the injunction proceedings. An In
junction being negative, the application
on the rart of the city would have
failed, had the company seen fit to
take advantage of this fact. Knrly
yesterday afternoon. Chief of Police
firltzmacher and Fire Chief Campbell
received word from President Josselyn
that there will bo lights tonight,
and both prepared for the emergency.
Both Chiefs say their departments will
not be handicapped very much, except
that Chief Gritzmacher said If the
darkness should continue long, there
miirht h an influx of criminals, re-
suiting In a reign of crime. Chief
Campbell said he ca:i handle almost
any kind of a flro about equally well
without the street lamps burning.
There Is a strong rumor that the
underwriters may take a hand If the
lights are turned off; It Is said that
higher rates may be demanded for in
surance. In snch Instance.
, Case Introduced in Court.
The temporary injunction, restrain
ing the power company from shutting
off the lights, was applied for by Mr.
Kavanaugh yesterday afternoon. Judge
Gantenbeln declined to Issue the In
junction until the corporation has an
opportunity to make a showing. Ar
guments In the case will therefore be
heard at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
In the complaint against the corpora
tion, signed by tne City Attorney and
I'eputles Grant and Tomllnson. Mr.
Kavanaugh states that he has tendered
to the corporation officials the cash to
ray for one monih' power, that of
January. This wa at the rate of
$63.60 a year for arc lamps, and 1
cents a month for lncandescents. But.
he says, the company arbitrarily re
fused to furnish the lights. If the
power Is turned off he says It will
work irreparable Injury upon the per
son and property of the inhabitants
of the city. .
The complaint sJiows that the cor
poration holds five franchises for light
ing the cltv. two for maintaining
nower plant's, and three for maintain
ing poles and wires. They are as fol-

DEMAND HEATERS, IN CARS
Mount Scott Residents Appeal to
State Railroad Commission.
Cars without heaters are now being
operated on the Mount Scott line and In
consequence there is mu.-h complaint.
Last night a petition prepared by O. N.
ford and signed by about 60 business
men along the line was forwarded to the
State Railroad Commission. It sets
forth that the suffering of the people
compelled to use the Mount Scott cars at
the present time is very great. Mr.
Kord said that some of the cars on the
Mount Scott line were heated, but that
the company took these off that run
fur the reason they were overcrowded.
"It Is a very great hardship on young
girls" said Mr. Ford, "to stand In one
of the Mount Scott cars for over half
an hour going to Portland or returning
home during the present cold weather.
There are waits along the line. W e un
derstand that the Railroad Commlsion
did order the company to use heaters
on cars, but this has not been done. e
are urglns the Commission to act at once
and give us relief as soton as possible."

DORANDO'S HEART IN
BAD SHAPE AFTER
RACE, SAYS DOCTOR
By Dr. Job. Creamer.
"I examined Dorando immediate
ly after lie was carried from the
track. His heart was in bad shape
and he was in a state of total col
lapse. In my opinion, the condition
of his heart was due partly to over
stimulation. His handlers gave him
6tuff from a bottle which they said
was coffee. Even coffee taken in
such quantities would be likely to
affect his stomach and cause" his
collapse. There wasn't a bruise on
him to show that the fall did any
damage."
It has been a part of our mission to ex
plain to people that the drug, caffeine, in
coffee seriously affects the stomach, heart
and nerves of some people (a good many).
If you want health and the power to do
things and win in the race for any kind of
supremacy you better trim off the handi
caps and coffee is one.
It is joy of the keenest sort to be en
tirely well.
Try it.
Quit coffee 10 days and use well-mads

CHEAP" PRESCRIPTIONS
Cheap prescriptions are sometimes
advertised and yet it is just as diffi
cult for a layman to know whether
the prescription he receives is cheap
or expensive, as it w0uld be if he
were purchasing a telescope, f or, the
cheapest prescription in the world as
to price may be the most expensive
in its final result.
All things being equal, a store fill
ing the greatest number of prescrip
tions can best afford to maintain the
lowest schedule of prices. It costs us
less to fill a prescription today than
it did 40 years ago, because our busi
ness is large enough to absorb the
undivided time and attention of a
6killed force of men and to rapidly
"turn over" the various drugs and
preparations used In dispensing. We
believe we have an advantage over
most stores in the fact that our dis
pensers are qualified, experienced,
registered men, devoting their whole
time to this responsible work. They
are never interrupted while weighing
out some powerful drug to wait upon
a customer for postage stamps or
while writing directions to furnish an
impatient patron with a porous plas
ter, but attending strictly to their
specific duties, reduce thereby the op
portunity for errors and confusion.
"We have filled prescriptions for
near half a century in Portland and
every device, every convenience, every
improvement which will simplify and
expedite with safety this work we
have adopted. It is not strange, there
fore, that ours is today the largest
retail drugstore on the Coast and
equals in the volume of its prescrip
tion work any in the land.
