EARLY RELIEF DEMANDED Discretion Lett to Board by Leglsla . ture Does Federal Statute Conflict Is Issue to Be lcternilncd. To ascertain the scope of the authority vented In the County Court In operating the. drawbrldftes across the Willamette River, District Attornev Cameron has been requested to Rive an opinion cover ing the point at lsmie. Since the agi tation beftan for a better prosrammme in behalf of the traveling publk-. the County Commissioners have been asked to ex ercise their authority ml Ktve relief, so far as In their power, but the Board has decided to await the opinion of the Dis trict Attorney before any action is taken. The subject was taken up yesterday with District Attorney Cameron in the form of a letter addressed to htm by County Commissioner Goddard. The let ter reads as follows: "I understand that the authority under which the County Court is now operating the drawbridges across the Willamette. River within the City of Portland was conferred upon the court by special acts of the Legislature. "I am not aware that the legislature in conferrlnB' this authority restricted it In any way. but left it to the discretion of the court, assuming that the court would operate them In such a manner a would provide for the handling- of the traffic, both over and under the bridges, so as best to accommodate such traffic. "Having only recently assumed the of fice of County Commissioner, I am un certain as to the authority of the County Court to deal with the present acute sit uation In regard to the movement of traffic over the bridges during the rush hours of the morning and evening; I would therefore ask you If there is any limit to the authority of the County Court In this matter, and further. If the court should order the draws to be kept closed for certain periods during the morning and evening. Is there any Fed eral law to prevent?" H.

With the coming of Summer and va cation time much interest is being manifested In the contest being con ducted by the Portland Commercial Club for $5000 In prizes for the best articles relative to Oregon published in periodicals outside of Oregon. This contest is of like character with that of last year, which was won by a Philadelphia minister. The articles must be written about Oregon's scenery or resources and must be a "boost" for this state. The first prize is $1000, the second $500 and then there are numerous smaller prizes. A large number of these ar ticles have been received at the Com mercial Club recently. This influx Is attributed to vacation time, when people find more time to write. The contest lasts until the end of 'the year. By that time thousands of articles are expected. BABE'S THIGH IS BROKEN Boy 1 1 Months Old Found Lying by Car Track Badly Hurt. With his thigh broken. Robert Fox. the 17-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Fox. who live at Capital Hill, was found by the motorman of an electric train Wednesday afternoon, lying beside the track just beyond Capital Hill station. As the train pa5ed through the cut the motorman saw the child lying in the grass. Thinking he had been struck by a passing train the motorman stopped his ear and went back and picked up the injured baby. A doctor on the train took charge of the child and had him sent to St. Vlncenfs Hospital and placed in charge of Dr. Tucker. The railroad officials believe the child was not struck by a train, but fell from the top of a cut directly opposite where he was picked up. AVASS1K LADIES BAND.

POPULARITY WILL GROW Loop Through British Columbia and Down Kootenai Lakes Combines Many Scenic Features in Rel atively Short Trip. The Golden Gate excursion party, or ganized by the Southern Pacific Railroad and which was .In Portland yesterday, is but the beginning of a large excursion movement to the North yearly, according to H. K. Judah, assistant general passen ger agent of the railroad, who Is with the party. "We started late this year," said Mr. Judah yesterday, "and as our vacation season is Just over the number on the train Is not so large as it otherwise would have been. Next year, however, we shall bring two train loads and pos sibly more of excursionists to the 'North. There are 45 in the Golden Gate party, and all will make the loop through Brit ish Columbia, down the Kootenai lakes and back to Portland via the Columbia River route of the O. R. & N. I believe that nowhere in .the country, within . the same number of miles, could a trip of such scenic splendor be offered as this. It is one that is bound to become more popular year by year." - In the party is General T. H. Goodman, for many years general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific in San Francisco and a Grand Commander of the Grand Army. General Goodman and Mr. Judah were the guests of William -.McMurray yesterday In an automobile trip over the city. "I had not been in Portland before for eight or nine years." said General Good man, after his return from the trip, "and I am hardly able to recognize the city. It is wonderful the way the population has extended on the East Side. We traveled, it seemed to me. ifor miles and still I am told did not get out of the city limits."

LIBEL SUIT IS PENDING Jail Term Will Follow if Judgment Is Obtained- and Not Paid, De clares Man Accused of Bribery in Legislature. William G. Smith, ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor of Colorado, and the "Speaker of the House" "whom Judge Ben S. Lind say, of the Denver Juvenile Court, has excoriated In recent magazine articles as the greatest representative of cor porate power In "corporation-ridden Colorado," passed a few hours yester day at the Hotel Portland. "Governor Bill" Smith, as he is called by his' friends, has many acquaintances in Portland, and his brief stay in the city was made pleasant by an automo bile ride over the city and by several calls at his rooms. Mr. Smith recently began suit against Judge Lindsay for $50,000, and from the fact that he was accompanied by his attorney. Judge Hal Rltter, it Is believed that the country is being scoured for evidence in support of the suit. "It appears from sentiment out on this Coast that you people think Colo rado is composed of Ben Lindsay and corruptionists," said Mr. Smith. "I hope that the truth may at last have a chance to be heard about many of these subjects when we get the judge and his backers -into court. Jail Term Threatened. "Under the Colorado law a body libel may be maintained. If I get a judgment against Lindsay he will either pay it or hewill remain in jail until he does." Judge , Lindsay pictured Mr. Smith, wnile Speaker of the lower house of the general assembly, as the tool of the Denver Tramway Company and other corporations, charging him with having been bought and sold in con nection with many of the bills which were up for consideration. "One of the most touching little stories of the goodness of Judge Lind say ' was recently told in a magazine," said a member of the Smith party yes terday. "It was the tale of Eel Mar tin's record. " The Judge recounted how he got Martin from the Denver City Jail, where he was known as a sneak thief, pickpocket and burglar. He had made two escapes from prison prior to that time, and the Judge says he thought he could reform Martin. Lind say then relates many pathetic inci dents In the career of Martin, telling how he supped from grace, but was finally saved and sent to the ranch of & brother in California. The Judge wound up the tale by saying that Mar tin was there on the ranch, tossing the hay and earning an honest living, while the Judge was showing up the rottenness of Colorado Legislatures.

Eel- Martin was serving a 13-year sentence in the Colorado Penitentiary for assault to kill and robbery. He had been tried and sen tenced In the same city where Lindsay was writing his story more than a year prior to the date of the article. That is a sample of the accuracy of the larger part of the statements made by Lindsay. "In the magazine story, Lindsay as serted that he had received- many af fectionate letters from Martin written from the California ranch. They must have borne the heading, 'Canyon City Penitentiary. No. 6177.' That is his home and number." Governor Smith does not deny that he is a politician at times, and that he has had to do with some of the' big political maneuvers of Colorado. Be ing connected with the Moffat and Evans interest in the railways and tramway systems, he has helped to make some slates and to smash others. Mr. Smith will arrive in Denver in time to observe the proceedings of tho special session of the Legislature which has been called by Governor Shafroth. PERSON ALMENTI0N. Miss E. F.
