AN AID TO TEMPERANCE
Lead ins Official Declares That the
Proper Vse of This Beverage Is
Beneficial and Prevents TTsnal
Prevalence of Indigestion.
After spending three weeks delivering
daily lectures in the California building;
at the Alaska-Yukon-Fariflc Exposition.
Horatio F. Stoll, of San Francisco, secre
tary of the Grape-growers of California.
Is In Portland for a few days for the
purpose of discussing California wines
with both sides in the. coming campaign
In which the Prohibitionists will endeavor
to put Oregon In the dry column.
Mr. Stoll is the designer and director of
the Grape-growers' booth at the recent
State Fair at Sacramento. The associa
tion whleh he represents is composed of
about grape-growers.
According to literature that Mr. Stoll
has been giving out at Seattle and other
points. California has $100,000,000 Invested
in the grape-growing Industry. The area
devoted to wine grapes is 150,000 acres:
raisin grapes M.ono acres and table grapes
40,vo acres. California yearly puts out
S5.0fO.Ort) gallons of dry wines and 16.000.000
gallons of sweet wines. Therefore, the
state and the grape-growers are vitally
Interested In the prohibition movement.
Do Xot Snpport Saloons.
"We are not Interested In the fight
against the saloon." said Mr. Stoll. at the
Portland Hotel, yesterday, "but are en
gaged In a campaign that extends
throughout the United States, in the
effort to educate the people Into the
proper uses of wine. We believe that the
prohibition movement finds its force, not
to much In the use of light wines as In
the atmosphere that surrounds the saloon
and the arrogance of that institution.
"We are offering as a solution of the
problem the granting of the privilege to
all persons to use wines and liquors In
their own homes when purchased in
Sf-aled packages and the fight to hotels,
restaurants and cafes to serve liquors
with bona fide meals.
"Along this line we are endeavoring to
teach the people the proper use of wines
and contend that when properly used
light wines are an aid to temperance.
"Dry wlnesi sipped with meals, are
beneficial . In almost any condition of
health. In the great wine-producing
countries of Kurope. where wine Is taken
with meals generally among the people.
Indigestion such as prevails In this coun
try is practically unknown.
"In America our people drink Ice water
with meals, delaying digestion until the
blood heat Is restored to the stomach.
Improper use of wine Is Just as dele
terious. The dry wine Is that which has
a high percentage of acid and a low per
centage of sugar, kany persons, before
drinking claH. put a lump of sugar In
the glass. Immediately a chemical re
action takes place and the wine Is not fit
to use.
A Matter of Temperament.
"We are also endeavoring to Instruct
the public In the selection of wine ac
cording to Individual temperament. The
person of sluggish temperament to de
rive , benefit, requires a different wine
from him who Is nervous or excitable.
Then the use of wines In cooking is an
Important factor. In Seattle we distrib
uted 10.000 booklets entitled "Cooking
with Wine." This book embraces a selec
tion of choice European receipts, using
wines, that are popular in the bejrt French,
German and Italian cafes and families.
Much of the secret of French cooking Is
found In the use of small amounts of
wine. It was peculiar the reception this
booklet received In some quarters. Many
persons who saw the wording 'Cooking
with wfne' refused to accept It, not
knowing that alcohol, because of Its vo
latile properties, is expelled from the wine
by heat leaving only the flavor of the
wine In the prepared food.
"I admit that most of the sweet wines
lilts port, ot sherry, contain alcohol in
quantity equal to that In brandy and
whisky. Our efforts, however, are di
rected more toward educating the public
In the proper use of the dry wines, such
as clarets. California Is strongly Inter
ested In this matter. The growing of
wine grapes in California was started by
the church and has been fostered by the
state until It has grown Into an Industry
that means a yearly revenue of 1:5,000,
000. How Business Began.
The first wine grapes In California
were planted around the mission walls by
the Franciscan Fathers. Subsequently
the state Imported cuttings from the best
varieties of wine grapes grown In France
and Italy. The last State Legislature
adopted resolutions recommending the
encouragement of the vltlcultural indus
try In California. As I have said we are
not tailing part In the fight against the
saloon. I believe that the proper use
of beer Is not deleterious and that the
brswerles should not be closed but that
the people should have the privilege of
buying beer in sealed packages from the
brewers. The fault with the breweries
lies In the fact that they, as a rule, es
tablish and maintain saloons and are
drawn Into the fostering of vice therein.
Needs Wide Discussion.
"I was Interested in the letter from
Mr. .Zimmerman, that appeared on the
editorial page of The Oregonian ' thw
morning. I agree thoroughly with him
that the subject of temperance should be
a matter of general discussion."
ENROLLMENT NOW 18,633
Eliot and Davis Schools Are Yet to
Be Heard From.
The school attendance yesterday was
almost SXO greater than on the opening
day of the year, due largely to the open
ing of the Stephens and Vernon schools,
as well as the natural Increase. Yester
day's enrollment was 1S.KM, while on ths
first day it was 16,7t4. The increase is
almost WO over the corresponding day
of when there were 17,714 registered,
while the figures for 1907 were 16.191
The Vernon school opened yesterday
with an enrollment of 343 pupils. This
leaves but two schools to open, the Eliot
and Davis. Both will open next week,
although the exact date cannot be given.
FIRE DOORS INSISTED ON
Sunnyslde Push Club Demands That
They Be Installed In School.
A resolution was adopted at the meet
ing of- the Sunnyslde Push Club, held In
the office of Dr. J. A. Petti Wednes- I
day night. Insisting that fire doors be
Tiincert in rooms on the second floor of
the Sunnyslde school. This resolution
was In answer to the position of the re
pair department of the Board of Ed"ca"
tion that these doors are nni .,0-.
The club declared that the aoors
needed, and will continue to agitate
are
the
matter.
The club approved heartily the action
of Mayor Simon in the purchase of 30
acres of the Laurelhurst tract for a
park There was some discussion of im
provements In the park, and It was the
sentiment of the meeting that ground
In the tract should be prepared for a
ballground for the boys of the district.
After purchase of the tract has been
completed the club committee will take
up the question of providing such ball
ground. The matter of stopping burials
in Lone Fir Cemetery was considered it
being the sentiment of the club that
burials In this cemetery should cease.
In the matter of establishing a street
improvement district In Sunnyside it was
reported by Councilman Kubli that a
number of petitions for improving streets
in Sunnyslde had been filed, and the
. - - -. haiH m..r fnr the nresent-

It was reported, however, that an oner
had been made to lay hard-surface pave
ments on a number of streets in Sunny
Me for 11.35 a square yard, a rate con
sidered very low- The pavement con
sists of a concrete five-inch base with a
top dressing of two incnes.
Partial reports were submitted on ex
press and telegraph delivery charges,
and the committee continued with In
structions to ask the companies to reduce
the cost or aenveries.

Farewell Recital Given
by Miss Harwas
SOPRANO and baritone songs and
arias sung by Miss Elizabeth Har
was and John Claire Montelth formed
the attraction Wednesday night at an
.wm,. recital given In the assembly
hall of Masonic Temple, West Park and
Yamhill streets, before an appreciative
audience representing both society and
musical circles. The affair was a sort
of good-bye concert prior to the depart
ure of Miss Harwas for Boston, where
she Is to make her professional appear
ance on the operatic stage.
Miss Harwas was unfortunate enough
to suffer from the effects of a sort of
Influenza, which is at present affecting
many singers In this locality, but she
managed to keep her voice under so
much control that her difficulty was
hardly noticeable. Miss Harwas has not
ung an extended programme in concert
since her recent return from Italy. Her
fine and earnest vocallsm of last night
was an admirable presentation for a
singer so young as she of the best Ideal
ism of a dramatic soprano. She is well
equipped in every way to suceed in her
chosen profession.
Verdi. Schubert, "Wachtmelster, Massen
et' and Chamlnade were the composers
she first chose to interpret, and she did
her most effective work in the heavy,
exacting "Die Nachte Sturmen." Then
she entered a devout, religious atmos
phere In singing an "Ave Marie" by Leon
cavallo, and entered so much Into the
spirit of the composition that for her
the hall became a shrine. In this one
number the accompaniments were played
admirably on the piano by Mrs. Warren
Ev Thomas and on the reed organ by
Frederick W. Goodrich.
Mr. Montelth sang three numbers In
German and sang them well, but he made
quite a hit In his artistic rendition of
Marslals' "Nothing More." The piano
accompanist was Mrs. Warren 1 E.
Thnmni nnH she rilaved with fine sym
pathy and good Judgment.

Nowadays you hear a lot about the Increased cost of clothing. The press of the entire
country has been full of tariff data concerning the thirty-three and a third per cent
increase in the cost of woolens, and tailors and clothing men the entire country over
have been busy raising prices. Now, the buyers of the American Gentlemen chain of
stores foresaw this advance in woolens, and late last year contracted for a term of
three years with English and Scotch woolen mills at the then prevailing prices, so that's
why we can and will take your measure and build you any ?40,
$45, ?50 and $55 suit in the store for
Friday and Saturday

English importations and includes our leader, the "West of England Blue Serge.
Experienced woolen men tell us these importations are the finest ever introduced

FOORFAKM SQUABBLE BECOMES
DEEPLY ENTANGLED.
One of the Warring Factions. Asks
tor a Receiver to Take Charge of
Property on Canyon Road.
Asking that a receiver to take charge
of the poorfarm property on the Canyon
road be appointed in the Circuit Court,
B. M. Lombard has filed an amended
complaint to the one originally made by
himself and H. L. Suydam against W.
A. Spanton. H. R. Reynolds, County
Judge Webster, Commissioners LIghtner
and Barnes and the United States Trust
Company. Iate yesterday afternoon
Suydam also filed an amended complaint,
thereby adding to the already complicat
ed condition of affairs relative to the
poorfarm sale. Presiding Circuit Judge
Bronaugh recently signed an order per
mitting Suydam and Lombard to proceed
separately in their suit against Spanton,
Reynolds and the county officials. Suy
dam has employed Attorneys Taggart &

THIS WEEK
Attorney W. C. Bristol appears for Lom
bard. Suydam alleges that the original agree
ment was that he was to have an inter
est with Spanton In the poorfarm prop
erty if the latter succeeded in purchas
ing It from the county. He allege', that
the first J5000 paid by Spanton was money
furnished by other persons, and that ho
was ready before the expiration of the
80 days' time allowed for maklnjr the sec
ond payment of $30,000 to furnlsn half
this amount. He even went to the ex
tent of tendering the entire amount, $30,
000, to the County Court on July 17, he
says, demanding that the members of
the court give him a deod to the 202
acres.
Since the contract of sale was awarded
by the commissioners to Spanton he has
"proceeded in a manner peculiarly his
own." alleges Suydam, to crowd the latter
out, refusing him any voice in the Hand
ling of the property. Suydam says that
this amounts to a usurpation of his
rights. Reynolds, he charges, abets
Spanton. He asks that Spanton's assign
ment of his interest In the poorfarm to
the United States Trust Company be set
aside, that the court Issue a decree de
claring Spanton the holder of an express
trust, and that the commissioners be re
quired to execute a deed to the property
containing Suydam's name as one of the
grantees. He alleges that he is entitled
to an eighth interest in the property.
Lombard's suit is of the same import,
except that be demands that the rights
iliii mi h It i i' "- nii-n'' '''' " "iimanUiriaiurt m" F t-tt' "A $ ' $ ' '' .. a v
h r r ' t . ,:'-.' '
of all parties Interested In the poorfarm
be determined by a court of equity.
Judge Bronaugh has already dissolved
the temporary injunction issued in the
case brought by Frank Bollam against
the commissioners, Spanton and others.
This injunction restrained the County
Court from issuing to Spanton a deed.
The Bollam case may now go to trial on
the merits, and It is not likely that 'the
County Court will issue a deed until the
suit has been settled.
