Attention BoysandGirls!
Draw a Picture of the Fa
mous "Red Goose" pdrV?"
The makers of the Red Goose School Shoes
for children, of which we are sole agents,
desire to secure a number of good pictures
of the famous RED 600SE. They have
decided to offer through our Shoe Depart
ment a number of prizes for the best draw
ings made by the school children of Port
. land. There are seventeen big prizes for
the seventeen best drawings, but in addi
tion to 'this, every boy and every girl who
draws a picture will get a prize. The
seventeen big prizes offered are as follows:
FIRST PRIZE, $15.00 IN GOLD
SECOND PRIZE $10.00 IN GOLD
THIRD PRIZE $ 6.00 IN GOLD
TOUR PRIZES, EACH!.$ 2.50 IN GOLD
TEN PRIZES, EACH. . . . $1 IN SILVER
This makes 17 big prizes for the 17 best
drawings. In addition to these, every boy
and every girl who makes a drawing of the
RED GOOSE, and brings it down to the
Children's Shoe Department, will get a
prize. This will be a copy, of "The Red
Goose Story Book" and one of the RED
GOOSE souvenirs. There are very few
rules to govern the drawing contest. Any
boy or girl under 16 years of age can en
ter the contest. You may draw any kind
of a picture you like, either, serious or hu
morous (the real red goose is shown in ac
companying illustration). You can make the
drawing of the RED GOOSE-only, or it
can be a scene in which the RED GOOSE
is a prominent character. You can draw
the picture in black and white, with pen
and ink, or pencil or crayon, or it can be
drawn in colors with crayon or your water colors. You can draw one picture or as
many as you like. There is no limit to the number you can enter. (Our advice is to
draw only a few pictures to enter in the contest, and make these as good as you can.)
Requirements of the Red Goose Contest
First, the drawing must be made on a good clean sheet of drawing paper or draw
ing board, about the same size as those used in. the drawing classes in your school.
Second, your name, your parent' or guardians' names, your home address, your age at
your nearest birthday and the name of your school must be plainly written on the back.
Third, the drawing must be brought by yourself and handed in at tha Children's Shoe
Department. (An exception will be made for those children who through illness or
misfortune cannot come down in person.) The contest will close .December 1st, and
on or before that date all of your drawings must be presented. You can bring them as
much earlier as you like. . The prizes will be awarded three weeks later, as the commit
tee will require this amount of time to select the best. The committee to make the
awards will be composed of an artist, an advertising man, a newspaper man and a shoe
man four men, whose names will be announced later. Now, all you boys and girls,
let's see how well you can draw. Make a picture of the RED GOOSE and bring it as
soon as you have it finished. And come down and see the big RED GOOSE exhibi
tion. This is-something every boy and girl should see. Shoe Department, 3d floor.

CITY'S HID TO CEASE
Mayor Opposes Speculation by
Water Main Extension.
SURE REVENUE NECESSARY
To Secure Pipe in Jfew Districts,
Guaranteed Income of 6 Per Cent
Is Wanted and Cost to Be
Charged to . Water Fund.
There will be no opportunity- for
speculative use of the water funds to
boom new sections of the city if the
people give the Water Board power to
.lay mains and make payment therefor
from the income of the department, ac
cording to Mayer Simon. He said yes
terday he jwlll ask a provision against
this, so that only such districts will se
cure mains as will guarantee a revenue
of at least 6 per cent on the sum neces
sary to make the Improvement.
'"I have no Intention." said Mayor
Simon, "of laying water mains for
speculative purposes, but only to such
places as will guarantee at least S per
cent on the amount necessary to pay
for the pipes. If the electorate gives
the Water Board authority to pay for
all mains from water funds or
water bonds as proposed. I am
opposed to laying- pipes to dis
tricts being- opened by real estate
agents. where payment is from the
water revenue, for it is my Idea that
It would be unjust to the . taxpayers
who produce the water fund. I' would
lay pipes from water funds only to
such places as afford a revenue as
stated, which Is the rule now followed
by the Water Board."
The Mayor intends to have a provis
ion In the proposed amendment that
will cover the point at issue, so that
the taxpayers who produce the water
fund, will not be made to pay for mains
for property that is idle, or for sec
tions that may be opened by specula
tors In or near the city.
The Mayor expressed regret that
the question of annexation must
be eliminated from the special
election, which will probably be held
January 1. 1910. He says he regards
it as unfortunate that Portland can
not have Its rightful count in the next
Federal census. x
"I am sure, after looking; up the mat
ter, that we cannot get a vote on an
nexation at a special election." said the
MayoK' "The charter plainly states that
this must be done at a g-eneral election,
and it is too bad this was not voted on
last June."
BULL RUN WATER READY
If Connections "Are Done, Flow Will
Be Turned into Ml. Scott Mains.
If the connections can be completed.
Mount Scott districts along- the electric
line south of the Powell Valley road will
today be supplied with Bull-Run water.
Foreman Gray, who- has charge of the
men laying the 12-inch, main from the
Section Line road to the Powell Valley
road there to connect with the
Woodmere Water Company's mains, said
yesterday the pipe line had been com
pleted and It only remained to put In a
reducer and make the connection.
The reducer will cut down the 12-inch
flow to a four-Inch flow to conform
to the slxe of the main with which con
nection will be made. The full 12-inch
main would furnish more -water than Is
required by the entire Wodmere system,
hence there will be a four-Inch discharge
through a meter into the Woodmere sys
tem. The 12-inch main will be needed
later when a complete water system is
Installed throughout the Mount Scott
district.
The city sells the Woodmere Water
Company enough . water at present to
make up the shortage at meter rates.
There is some complaint over the fact
that city water rates are not yet given
the people of the district, but this can
not be done until the city acquires the
local plant.
Elevator Accident Denied.
Ll Q. Swetland, president of the Swet
land Building Company, denied yester
day the truth of the Item published yes
terday morning '.n which Walter-Durham
was reported to have had a narrow
escape from injury through the careless
handling of an elevator In the building
ownrt by his rompany. Mr. Swetland
believes ai error concerning the building
hns been made, for he says no such
person as Durham 1 ns been employed In
the building, and that no lncMertt similar
to that reported has occurred there.

EX-WIFE NOW HAPPY
Mrs. Vaughn Rejoices That
Former Spouse Is in Jail.
MUST SERVE FOUR MONTHS
Court Denies Habeas Corpus Peti
tion Woman Says Her Sleep
less Xights End She Declines
to Discuss Poison Case.
C. C. Vaughn, former Portland real
estate man, . whose domestic Infelicities
landed him In Jail here, must serve four
months In , the County .Jail for beating
Robert Dunkie, the night of June 7 in
front of Vaughn's former wife's home at
420 Terrace Heights. An application for
the Issuance of a writ of habeas corpus
by Vaughn's attorney, John A. Jeffery,
was denied by Circuit Judge Gatens yes
terday afternoon. This followed on the
heels of Vaughn's arrest here a week ago
for violating the provisions of a suspended
sentence Imposed on him by Circuit Judge
Bronough June 12 for assaulting Dunkie.
Vaughn pleaded guilty at that time and
sentence was suspended, 'Vaughn agree
ing to leave town.
As the result of Vaughn's incarceration
there is one supremely happy woman in
Portland. She is Mrs. Vaughn, divorced
wife of the prisoner, who declares she
has been In fear of her life for months
at the hands for her former husband.
"I am mighty glad," she said, when told
Vaughn must serve his sentence. "1 will
have a breathing spell now. I suffered
greatly while he was at large. 'How
much, no one will ever know. I 'could
scarcely sleep nights and when I did I
would frequently awaken with a start as
if from a ni&htmare. with cold perspira
tion standing on my forehead and shaking
with fear."
Leaving Portland, following the suspen
sion of sentence, Vaughn went to Seattle.
About two months later Mrs. Vaughn and
,Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, chief of the
women's police auxiliary, her close per
sonal friend, received duplicate packages
of tea from the Puget Sound city, which,
upon analysis proved to contain poison.
Vaughn was at onoe suspected and an
investigation was instituted by Mrs. Bald
win, developing evidence which led to a
complaint accusing the former husband
of Mrs. Vaughn of sending the poisoned
tea. Vaughn returned to the city, violat
ing one of -the agreements made when
his sentence was suspended, and owing
to agitation over the poison mystery he
was rearrested and placed In the Counfy
' Jail.
I Detective Hellyer, of the local police
bureau, who was detailed by Chief of
Police Cox to go to Seattle and make an
investigation, returned Sunday. Yester
day a warrant, charging Vaughn- with
sending the poisoned tea through the
malls, with intent to kill the two women,
was served on the prisoner in the County
Jail just before the announcement was
made by Judge Gatens that the applica
tion for his freedom had been denied.
This case, it is said, will be prosecuted
when Vaughn serves his present sentence.
Detective Hellyer said last night he was
not- able to find any evidence pertinent
to the poisoned tea case in Seattle. That
Vaughn had been there and was there on
the date the tea was mailed was the only
evidence of a material nature gleaned
by him.
That there is other evidence of a strong
character against Vaughn In the posses
sion of the police seems evident, as the
warrant charging Vaughn with the deed
was Issued from the. Municipal Court be
fore Detective Hellyer return. -
Mrs. Vaughn refused to discuss the tea
case last night. She only asserted over
and over her pleasure at hearing Vaughn
must serve four months in jail.
"Not that I like to see anyone In jail,
but - feel safe." she said.

Currency Sewn In Lining of Jones'
Garment He Gets 30 Days on
Rockpile, $250 Fine.
Searched at the Linnton-road rockpile,
where ha will serve 30 days for an at
tempt to rob rooms of the Imperial Hotel.
Kirk Jones, notorious as a hostelry thief,
was found to possess 2100 In greenbacks.
The currency was sewn Into the lining
of the prisoner's coat and had been over
looked in the search to which he was
subjected at the police station after his
capture by Airs. J. S. Maylodry, of
Eugene In her room at the hotel.
The discovery was a surprise to the
rockpile guards, who, knowing that the
prisoner had. already. -been searched., at
the police station, were not on the alert
for such a denouement. In removing
Jones' coat, one of the guards noticing
the garment was overly bulky and .of
strange construction, an investigation
followed. The money was turned over
to the Chief of Police.
Jones was arraigned before Judge Ben
nett In Municipal Court yesterday morn
ing and sentenced to serve 30 days on the
Linnton rockpile in addition to a fine of
J230 He was arraigned upon the charge
of trespass and endeavored to make
Judgo Bennett believe he had made a
mistake in the room. . Ife pleaded not
guilty to tn-5 charge but his record, which
Is a lengthy one. was too much for the
judge to overlook.
