12 COUNCIL SALARIES . STILL TO BE Revisers of Proposed Charter Refuse to Cut Off Lawmakers. , HENRY AMENDMENT LOST Vrged That Voters on Bond Issue Be Taxpayers, but Committee Decides This Must Be Submitted by Council at Special Election. Member of the Portland City Council will continue to draw a maximum month ly stipend of J25 for their services even if the city charter as revised by two com mittees is ratified by the electors In the municipal election June 7. The charter committee, appointed by the City Coun cil to patch up the revision work of the committee of 15. last nicht refused to adopt a motion cutting the city's law makers off without any compensation. -At the same time it was decided not to change the number of the members of which the Council shall consist. The same disposition was made of a .pro posal to redlstrict the city as to wrds. The greater part of last night's meet ing was taken up in the consideration of securing an increase In "the salaries of the City Attorney and the Ctty En gineer. The members of the committee were a unit in favoring an advance in the salary of these officials. if an amendment to the charter is proposed giving these two officials increased sal aries, it will be submitted separately and will not be Incorporated In the proposed revised charter. C. K. Henry appeared before the com mittee and urged that an amendment to the charter be submitted making it necessary for a person to be a taxpayer before being allowed to -take part in any election at which a proposed Issue of bonds is the Issue. Commissioners Wer lein and McNary said they considered such an amendment Ill-advised, believ ing it would serve only to intensify the socialistic tendency among a class of voters who would resent any distinction between taxpaying and nontaxpaylng classes. They urged the further objec tion that the consideration of such an amendment was beyond the Jurisdiction of the committee which had been ap pointed for the specific purpose of mak ing desired changes in the charter as It had been reported by the original char ter revision committee of 15. Mr. Henry Insisted that the provisions of his amendment were entirely reason able and just and for that reason should commend itself to the favorable consid eration of the committee. However, the charter committee will not recom mend the proposed amendment to the PAID BISPHAM AND PORTLAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BT JOSEPH M. QUENT1M. BY FAR the most commanding musical success ever won by the Portland Symphony Orchestra was its closing con cert for the season of 1908-09 last night at the Helllsr Theater, before a brilliant and representative audience that unmis takably expressed its pleasure with every number on the programme, and even asked for mpre. Commanding because the season has been a triumph over ob stacles; educational because last night's concert was one of diversified pleasure and was a star event In our symphony experience, largely due to the presence at It of David Blspham. the eminent baritone soloist. So many young people attended, ambitious musicians most of them, that they were an inspiration. In spite of the glory of Instrumental numbers drawing their being from the genius of Beethoven, Rubinstein, Masse net and Moskowski one more modern name stands out like a blazing sun from all the rest on last night's programme, that of Iavid Bippham. the Phila delphian. descendant of sturdy Quakers Bom in the romantic city which is the an.-lent capital of America, January 5. 1SS7, it is difficult to believe that it is the same Blspham the years have dealt so kindly with him. and his voice and intellect are as commanding as of yore. I do not even think his tone is very much worn, so perfect is his art. In a subtle, undeflnaWe way he is as great an actor as he Is a singer. There are baritones who have more volume than he, but there Is only one singer with the nearly divine quality of voice, the Blspham of a combination of musical worth. What a tempestuous welcome Mr. Bispham re ceived when he drew near the foot lights! It Is not my Intention to analvze par ticularly each separate number sung by Mr. Rlspham. for each was a pearl in a necklace of vocnl Jewels. The Sullivan music from "Ivanhoe" was lively enough to please the most captious critic of that school, and it was a memorable ex perience to hear hl interpretation of. the tragedy of "The Pauper's Irive," the daintiness of Schubert's "Hark, Hark, the Lark." and the merry swing of Har riet Ware's "Boat Song." In the purely singing line, the most dramatic number he gave was the Kipline-Damrosch "Danny Deever." and here he repeated the triumph lie won with this song when he last rendered It in Portland. That is saying a good deal. But. every rose in a garden of roses has a .most prized petal, and every horizon points the way to yet greater glory of prismatic color, even In a suc cession of passionately-tinted sunsets. So. the most intellectual treat Mr. Blsp ham gave us was a magnificent, artistic reading of Edgar Allen Foe's immortal poem. "The Raven." with piano accom paniments played by Harold Osburn Smith, a talented young accompanist, who originally hails from Columbus. O.. and whose bime at present is In New York City. Mr. Blspham stood as if telling a story, so natural was he. and although he was neither in costume nor was he helped by any stage accessories, it seemed as if the ghostly scenes he called up were actually passing before us. The Illusion was perfect, as his flexible voice rose and fell and his reading of "Nevermore, nevermore" was prophetic We heard the knocking at the door rustling of the curtain, and the raven's hoarse croak; and were sensible of the presence of the seraphim, and the an Kuish of a Joat soul. The music for this poem-story Is composed by Alfred Bergh. a talented American writer, and skillfully fits the words and Poe's particular mood. Too bai that ail the money Poe earned by the sale of 'The Raven," first pub lished in IMS. was J10. Mr. Bispham's vocal encores were: "Hymn to the Evening Star," Wagner "The Pretty. Pretty Creature." Storace! and "O. Lady Moon." Bruhns. Mr. Rosebrook. conductor of the Port land Symphony Orchestra, wisely sub ordinated his orchestral programme to suit the occasion. The orchestral selec tions were not heavy but noted rather Council and if It Is given a place on ttie official ballot It will have to be submitted by the Council. Through the adoption of an amendment, the powers of the Council are enlarged to the extent that it is authorized to ap point a purchasing agent, define his duties and fix his salary. This employe Is to be appointed by the Mayor and the Executive Board and shall not be subject to civil service regulations. Through the creation of this officer, the committee believes a desired stop can be placed to one of the most expensive leakages In the present administration of city affairs. Another amendment was recommended to that provision of the charter relating to depositing city funds by the City Treasurer. It provides that when that officer shall have deposited all of the city funds In the different banks to the amount of collateral furnished to secure the loan, he may make further deposits In the same banks when such funds are secured by an Indemnity bond for one and one-half times the amount of such deposits. In another amendment an additional clerk Is provided for the Municipal Judge. This deputy clerk will be known as the Police Court Clerk, will be exempt from civil service regulations and will receive a salary of not to exceed $100 a month. He will have authority to receive bail in ctty cases only and to issue warrants as an officer of the Municipal Court. The commute will hold another meet ing Thursday night, when the details will be worked out by which it is proposed to consolidate the Executive. Water. Park and Health Boards under one general or ganization. The committee expects to complete its. labors some time this week and will request the City Council to hold a special meeting probably next Wednes day. April 7, when the revised charter may be approved and ordered submitted to the voters. This must be done 60 days before the date of the city election, and next Wednesday Is the last day when this proceeding may be bad. RIVAL ROADS AT PEACE NORTH COAST AND NORTHERS PACIFIC EXD FIGHT. Strahorn's Railway Will Rush Work in Yakima Valley, Ijong De layed by Hill Line. SEATTLE, Wash., March 30. (Spe cial.) A special from North Yakima to night says that the fight between the North Coast and the Northern Pacific railroads In the lower valley has prac tically been abandoned, and the work on the North Coast will be pushed from now on. This Is the statement made today by President Robert E. Strahorn. of the North Coast, who was in North Yakima today. It is expected to have the North Coast completed into Yakima by Janu ary 1. -and 100 miles of road in operation by that time. The rijrht of way for the North Coast through the Yakima Valley to the summit of the Cascades has been almost all se cured. President Strahorn says that the North Coast does not own the North Yakima & Valley road, which runs from this city to NacTiez City. After going through the Cowlitz Pass, the road will branch, one line going to Tacoma and Seattle, and the other to Portland. for their light and shade. The ensemble work was .well balanced, and the tone steady, a decided confidence in the strings being noticed. All the musicians played more together, and the concertmeister, Waldemar Lind. led acceptably, it is also a pleasure to record that the orchestra members played with a satisfying finish, the result of patient rehearsal and at tention to detail. The only symphony played was Beethoven's first, and It re ceived a traditional, dignified rendering. The opening number was luckily selected the joyous overture from Beethoven's Esmont." and it put everybody in good humor to anticipate the treats to follow. A pretty little gem was the old-fashioned Moskowski serenade, so familiar to many young piano students. The joyous gaiety of the event was reflected in the typically French spirit of Massenet's "Scenes Pec toresque." Mr. Rosebrook kept bis musicians un der excellent control, and again was ad mirable as an orchestral director. His readings were scholarly, his cues given promptly, and his authoritative pose an Inspiration for good work. Both con ductor and orchestra annao- j vantage In playing accompaniments to ... ninam s singing, and materially aided his success. How was it all received? Bispham and orchestra had a Joy-night together, with Blspham in the lead. It Is not too much to say that much of the credit for the business arrangements by which tills double musical treat was made possible Is due'to the ability of the business man ager of the Portland Symphony Orches tra, Mrs. Kdna B. Jones. She is a strik ing example of a capable business woman. AT THK HOTELS. Hotel Portland TC w irhii, c: . . i . L Moore. Walla Walla; J. R. Stevenson! Walla Walla; IT. A. Hunter. Minneapolis! .

Cobat, WHEN A bad back turns every twenty-four hours Into one dull round of pain and misery you are lame In the morning, nagged all day by a dull, throbbing backache, can't rest in the evening or Bleep well at night. It hurts to bend over, straighten up. get up from a chair, or lift even a light weight. Any sudden twist, turn or awkward movement sends a tearing twinge of pain through the weak spot. Backache is really kidney-ache. The kidneys are in the small of the back, and any pain there is enough cause to suspect your kidneys. If the urine Is discolored, contains sandy sediment, or passes too frequently, then you have double proof. Keep the kidneys well and the kid neys will keep you well. Well kid neys filter the blood and keep it pure. Diseased kidneys, only partly purify the blood. Neglect weak kidneys and you invite uric acid poisoning, gravel, stone in the kidney, rheumatism, heart trouble, diabetes. Bright's disease, and a long list of other serious disorders now recognized as having their cause in kidney weakness. At the first sign of backache or urinary disorders, give the kidneys quick help, not with plasters, liniments, nor any other outside applications, but with a special kidney medicine.

Best of all. this relief is permanent. PORTLAND PROOF. David Campbell, 170 N. Eighteenth St. Portland, Or., says: "Five or six years ago I began to suffer from kid ney trouble. The pains in my back became almost unbearable and I grew so lame and sore that to stoop was torture. I tried various remedies and finally went to a physician, but could obtain only temporary relief. I did not know that the trouble was caused by disordered kidneys, but when I saw Doan's Kidney Pills so highly adver tised and recommended for such com plaints, I decided to give them a trial The first box brought me such great relief that I continued with them until I had used about four boxes. At the end of that time not a trace of back ache or any other kidney disorder re mained, nor has It ever returned up to this writing. I advise the use tf Doan's Kidney Pills to any one suffer ing as I did." "., L.UXB" OP PORTLAND in Oregon. Washington and Northern Idaho and for fair weather in Southern Idaho. FORECASTS.
