, 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

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.

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.

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." ".,
