Woman on Water Waoon Draws Crowd.-Driver Van Zante, of the City of Portland Street-CTleaning Department, la a selflsh soul. It Is Van. Zante's un pleasant duty to ride the water wagon. He seemed determined he would not ride alone in the early hours of Sunday morn ing, so there was perched up beside him on his unstable seat - a charming young woman. Attired In a brilliant blue costume, the lady was the star attrac tion In the early hours, at East Morri son street and Grand avenue. A. crowd of gazers gathered at the corner and stood in amazement. It took Sergeant Keller and a couple of policemen half en hour to move the crowd and persuade them there was nothing unusual In the scene. Vote for I. N. Fleischner for School Director. To the Taxpayers Do not be influenced by any "dodgers'" that may be scattered at the polls today or thrown in the streets before the election begins. We have evidence that one of the other can didates has prepared another "circular" for distribution. This candidate has made it his particular business to be sure that the corrupt practices act does not apply to the school election. Having been so assured, he has brought Into play in his behalf all the old, well-known tricks of ward politics. Look out for another "dodger" and treat it with the contempt it deserves. The I. K. Fleischner Cam paign Committee, D. M. Dunne, chairman; Henry E. Keed, secretary. Memorial. Services Held. Sandy Lodge, I. O. O.

Delighted Found at Wooster'si Mat H, Cardwell has returned Killingsworth Avenue Opened. Prop erty owners' have paid in their assess ments for the widening of Killingsworth avenue and the street is now uniformly CO feet wide, east from Union avenue. A record in speed in opening a street was made . in the case of Killingsworth ave nue, as it usually takes more than a year to open or widen a 6treet, whereas only a few months were occupied in opening Killingsworth avenue. The pro ceedings were pushed along by the Kill-Ingsworth-A venue Improvement Club. It is proposed to grade the street, lay ce ment sidewalks this year, water mains and sewers, and next year put down hard-surface pavement betwen Union avenue and East Forty-second street.

Laura Helmlick Baroness Granclos Margo DufCet Madame dipre, nee Beatrice Here- ford Lilian Andrews Marie Edna May Foster LEAD BAKER BOX HEAD ONE of thtse very, very funny plays that must never be taken seriously is "My ' Wife," which- opened yesterday afternoon at the Baker. While It is easily one of the brightest and most sparkling bits of comedy, It is still only the light est entertainment and In no, sense to be considered other than excellent amuse ment. Its lines afford Izetta Jewel one of the most delicious comedy parts she has ever had, and gives that excellent actor, Franklyn Underwood, another long feather in his cap as a master comedian. The story, as , has been said, is ex tremely frothy In texture, and fortunate ly carries no serious problem of life to causs reflection or tax the standard of morals. The figure about which the en tire plot revolves itself Is a feminine one, young, charming and wholly irre sponsible in her ways. In order to ob tain legal possession of a fortune be queathed by an eccentric aunt, the afore said young, charming and irresistible per son is obliged to become willy nilly, a bride before her 18th birthday. The only male person she fancies she cares for one Rene Falanderes, is an undesirable with Papa and Mama Dupre and, any way, he is absent in the country and not to be considered. So, acting with Rene's advice, Trixie inveigles her guardian into a temporary marriage until such time as she can divorce him and, according to French laws, become her own mistress and marry Rene despite her parents' pro test. The' guardian of course, Is a con tented bachelor, but through a seemingly natural force of circumstances consents to be inveigled. With the fall of the first curtain, when we know that he has assumed the re sponsibility of Trixie and her affairs, until the final word of the play the com plications that set in well nigh engulf the pair In ruin. They go perforce to Switzerland on a pseudo honeymoon, and here the bride's capricious nature and restless temperament spell trouble In large and glaring letters for many peo ple. As the proverbial last straw, her antics cause a conventional duel between her husband and a Bonl who attempts liberties with her. A grand scene and general separation results, and the guard ian returns to his bachelor life. But not for long oh, no; in fact only long enough for Trixie to follow on the next train, arriving In time to meet and entertain several of his guests invited to a midnight dinner. Later, however, when they are left alone and she an nounces her intention of going to a con vent, and not bothering him any more, Gerald realizes what his life would be without her and a reconciliation takes place. Right on the heels of this comes Rene, the old sweetheart. He, too. has a plaint and a wishing for riddance from Trixie, as he has been ensnared elsewhere. So in accordance with all nice fairy stories "they lived happily ever after." Izetta Jewel's versatility as an actress Is again emphasized in this role of Trixie, wherein sha gives us , a wholesome, lov able and charmingly unaffected portrait of irresponsible femininity. She distin guishes her work with that stamp of her own sweet personality and innate charm that have been such potent factors In her success. Franklyn Underwood, as the guardian, revealed himself an actor of unquestion able authority, displaying an original and keenly intelligent use of his many opportunities. The abundance of down right good looks and the splendid stage presence with which Mr. Underwood is blessed is not the least of his attributes as an admirable actor-man, good to look tipon as well as good to hear. In a cast of 18, where practically every one is molded to his part, it is difficult to mention all that deserve it. The acting on the whole was excellent, from the most important to the least insignificant role. But mention must be made of Dan Bruce as "Gibby," a type he made eccentric and highly amusing. Benjamin Horning as Papa Dupre was so excitably French and his accent and general per sonality so saturated with Frenchisms that he won spontaneous bursts of ap plause constantly. Frances Slosson was dainty as usual, and Margo Duffet was a fascinating picture of black and red as a gay Baroness with a superfluous hus band. Not Working for the State. SALEM, Or., June 19. (To the Editor.) Complaint has been made at the Gov ernor's office because C. H. Gram, Dep uty Labor Commissioner, and J. P. Mc Culloch, a penitentiary guard, have been active among the striking teamsters of the City of Portland. Inquiry at the of fice of Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff reveals the fact that Gram has not been on the pay roll of the state for several weeks and Superintendent C. W. James, of the Penitentiary, states that MoCul loch took out a leave of absence some time ago and that the authorities of that institution have no jurisdiction over his acts in connection with the strike. I make this statement for the reason that the state administration has been criticised because of the actions of the above-named men. C. N. M'ARTH UR. Halifax will spend $30,000 this year on Ttanriimi u its seweraa-a avatav IS City to Be Canvassed for Sale of Bridge Bonds. WORK TO BE SYSTEMATIC .Mayor to Same Committee of Five Tills Morning People In Dis tricts Benefited Expected to Do Their Share. Disregarding all cliques and personal whims, the organized -campaign look ing to the sale locally of the $250,000 block of the 2, 000,000 Broadway bridge bonds issue at par, the money derived from which will be used for the imme diate beginning of construction of the bridge, will be launched this morning. Mayor Simon, who originated the Idea of selling the bonds here as a means of extrication from the maze of legal technicalities and the apathy of the Eastern money market, will start the ball rolling. He will appoint a committee of five, composed of prom inent business men, in whose hands the fate of the bridge will be placed. "Unless these bonds are sold, and sold at par, there will be no Broadway bridge under present plans," was his statement at the outset, and that still holds good to all intents and pur poses. - , "Way to Get Bridge Is Plain. "If the people really want the Broad way bridge they can get It this way," Mayor Simon said. "There is no reason why the bonds cannot be sold under this plan, and they will be if those who have been professing friendship for the bridge do their duty." As the matter now stands, $79,000 of the $250,000 has been subscribed, leav ing $171,000 to be subscribed. Subscrip tions have averaged slightly more than $10, COO a day. If this can be kept up a fraction more than 17 days, the en tire amount will be taken up. It is known, however, that there are some who are contemplating taking large amounts of the bonds, and, with hard work on the part of the committee, the entire issue may be subscribed within (our or five days. It is planned that this committee shall conduct a systematic campaign. The only reason why the bonds were not sold days ago, it is argued, is the traditional Western idea that Wall street alone has bond-buying preroga tives. Investment Is Attractive. As a matter of fact, it has been stated, there are hundreds of investors in Portland who would do well to take these- bonds, which have an attractive feature in that they do not mature for 30 years, precluding all worry over the replacement of an investment and re quiring no legal services in their pur chase. Under this plan the rate of interest amounts to about what would be 6 ,per cent in the purchase of ordi nary mortgages. The block book, the city directory and personal acquaintance will be brought Into use by the committee in searching out buyers. Persons owning property in the district affected direct ly and materially will be expected to do their share toward taking up the issue. The banks also will be can vassed. Though as yet no plans have been made for taking less than $500 de nominations, which is the smallest in which bonds are Issued, even smaller sums may be subscribed by the organi zation of stock companies. MOSE A. GUNST IS HERE Callfornian Professes Ignorance of Governor Gillett's Motives. Mose A. Gunst, ex-Police Commissioner of San Francisco, president of M. A.

I am not in position to express an opinion as to the action taken by the Governor. I don't know what he will do or whether the fight will be on the square if it should take place. "I do know, however, that the Panama Exhibition, or Fair, of 1915, is going to be held In San Francisco, and when the vote is taken in Congress between New Orleans and San Francisco, our city will be chosen. Sentiment throughout the East is in favor of San Francisco and members of Congress are being informed of the feeling of their constituents. San Francisco will raise all of the $7,500,000 necessary to finance the fair, while it is reported that New Orleans is unable to secure that amount. "Governor Gillett returned to San Fran cisco from a missionary tour of the East on behalf of the fair, and arrived'' Just before his announcement prohibiting the prizefight. I do not know whether there was a connection between the two inci dents." Mr. Gunst is on his way to his Cali fornia home and is accompanied by Mrs. Gunst. AUTO TRIP IS POSSIBLE COXDITIOJJ OP ROADS TO AS TORIA IS INVESTIGATED. Julius Ij. Meier Suggests Trip in In terests of Good Roads Re gatta to Be Objective. ' That the run from here to Astoria by automobile can be made now, not withstanding published reports and general belief to the contrary, was the statement made by Julius L. Meier, secretary of the Portland Automobile Club, and one of the most enthusiastic motorists in the city, yesterday. Mr. Meier has spent considerable time in vestigating the condition of the roads from Portland to Astoria, and has found a state of affairs much more satisfac tory. than was believed. . - Further Investigation will be made this week, and, if it Is found that not much difficulty will be encountered, a trip of members of the local motoring organization probably will be arranged for July 3. The object will be to drive from here to Astoria, and thence to Gearhart Beach, where the Fourth of July will be spent. The trip can be made easily in a day. The route is not impassable at the present time, according to Mr. Meier, although there is no doubt that, with sufficient agitation, the roads will be bettered. For the purpose of further ing the good roads movement, Mr. Meier suggests that 15 or 20 Portland autoists drive over the route on July 3. Then, when it has been demon strated that the roads are passable for automobiles, the Portland Automobile Club members could arrange to go en masse to the annual regatta held in Astoria in August. Elaborate plans have been prepared for the regatta in Astoria this year, and it is said that the event will ex cel any of the historic ones held in the past in Astoria. Motorboat races will be featured. Entries have been secured from California seacoast cities and Vancouver, B. C. A prize of $1000 has been offered for the fastest motor boat. POLICE SPARE BOY THIEF Kind-IIearted Patrolman Interests Himself in Motherless Imd. "I got Frank and, the boy's father to gether and they fixed matters up. The father agreed to pay for the wheel and the boy promised to be good in the future." Thus wound up the report of Patrol man J. J. Helms, on the theft of a bicy cle, owned by Frank Modest, 511 Savier street, who appealed to the police to recover his property. Patrolman Helms found the bicycle in a store, and located the 14-year-old boy who stole it. In vestigation of the case brought to light the fact that the boy's mother is dead and the boy lives with his father, whom the officer says "is a hard-working man and does all he can for his boy." Nothing very bad was learned about the young thief. Denied a mother's First Mortgages ON IMPROVED PORtLAND REAL ESTATE Safety of investments, i Pay good rates of interest.
