This piece was among the holdings of the Mount Hood road that were listed with the Snanton Company two months ago when the road decided to dispose of Its holdings west of Montavllla and rome Into the city over the tracks of the OlR.cN. Company. It was the gen eral Impression at the time that the road wanted to raise money quickly for construction, for closely afterward fol lowed the announcement of actual con struction work to begin and now work la said to be tinder way. The Spanon Company has sold almost ail of the smaller pieces owned by the Mount Mood road that were situated In the residence districts of the East Side, and has deals pending for two half blocks on East Stark street, between I'nlon and Grand avenues. There was Immediate Inquiry for this waterfront as soon as the announcement that It was on the market was made In The Ore gonlan, and the flsht to acquire It with in the past few days has been most bit ter. Other Interests than Mr. Reld wanted it and were willing to go to great lengths to get it. The fact that Mr. Reld's offer wm strictly a cash deal had weight with the railroad, however, and yesterday the full amount of the purchase price was paid over and the deed was signed. 'Robert T. Linney. one of the promoters rf the Mount Hood road, came up from I Os Angeles when the deal was nearlng Ita close, and assisted In the final trans fer. The deed was signed by E. P. Clark. Concrete Pocks Proposed. Mr. Reld's plans are not entirely formed aa to what he will do with the property. He has been thinking about building concrete docks, and there was a rumor sme time ago that the lot ly lng next the flrehoat was to have a coal bunker erected on it for the use of the National Cola Storage & Ice Com pany, whose plant lies across East Wa ter street and extends from this street to the railroad tracks on East Second street along Washington.

Makes Preliminary Peal on City's Behalf. Isadora Lang, a member of the Park Board, said yesterday that he had se cured options on behalf of the city for the purchase of Council Crest. Ills option, he explained. Included the leases of the various amusement fea tures of the place, and thus, it the city decides to make the purchase, it will not be handicapped with legal objec tions from those who have leases. Mr., Lang refused to give the terms of the options he had secured, but would do so. he said, as soon as he has a chance to take the matter up with Mayor Simon. Some time ago an agitation was Ftarted by Interested people favorlnR the purchase by the city of Council Crest to be used as a public park. The matter was presented to the Park Board and. while the Board did not commit Itself regarding Its attitude on the matter. It appointed Mr. Lang to look Into the matter and report his findings. under advisement. Deputy District Attorney Hennessy i serts that this construction of the statute ties the hands of the public officers In prosecution of cases, where a worthless article has been sold by false representa tions made verbally, and suggests that the only protection for purchasers of Jewelry, horses and other articles re quiring expert knowledge Is In the passage of an ordinance requiring the giving of a written bill of specifics tiona with tvery sale. It is proposed that the City Council shall regulre every Jeweler to furnish, with his sales, aguarantee, setting forth the quality of the article sold. The defense in the Cowle case was as sisted by Attorney George W. Joseph, who Is about to defend a horse trader, accused under similar circumstances. In this case. also, the written token Is ab sent, and although the salesman is alleged to have guaranteed the horse, by word of mouth, no charge can he made if the contention of the defense la upheld.

Mayor Strelb and the Councllmen have found that the present charter Is ln adequate, and that street Improvement cannot he made or sewers laid undei any of Its provisions. The charter was thrown together hastily when Mllwaukle was Incorpor ated, and Its defects only appeared when the Councllmen undertook a large programme of street improve ments. After a careful study of the charter the Mayor and .Councllmen de cided that a new charter must be framed. Assistance of the Mllwaukle Com mercial Club has been asked, and It has a committee looking Into the sub. Joct. The plan is to secure the serv ices pf a competent attorney to dra up a charter at once, and have It sub mitted to the voters at the city elec tion. December IS.

However, it the Chief will call I will furnish him 1th a list of some of them. As soon as the Investigating committee is through. I presume there will be no objection to publishing the entire list. Owners to He Found. "While endeavoring to expose the blind pigs' In Portland, I am also mak ing an effort to ascertain the names of the men who own the property where these bllnd pigs' are conducted. I started on this campaign last Summer. but did not have tiaie to finish it. How ever, it Is a difficult task, as the names of the owners are hard to obtain. I believe In going after the 'higher-ups.' and this Is my reason for obtaining the namea of the men who own property where liquor Is sold In violation of the law." FRANCHISE VALUES FIXED Executive Board Puts Price on O. & X Improvements. R. Authorities, Believing Tongs Oper ate "Underground Railway" . Through Portland, Try to Hold Suspect Incommunicado. That the Chinese tongs of Portland will not abandon their fight for the al leged underground railway from Canada to California, for the use of Chinese lab orers was Indicated yesterday when At torney R. B. Slnnott and W. B. Barnes notified United States Commissioner Can non that they would demand a recon sideration of his decision by which Chin Wy Yok is held In the County Jail with out bail. The new hearing will be held Friday morning, nd Attorney Banks will appear in the role of amicus curiae. Mr. Banks is retained In a number of Chinese immigration cases and has vol unteered to advise the court. He be lieves that his clients may be materially affected by the order. For many months It has been charged that members of the strong Chinese so ciety of tongs were being railroaded from the shipe) at Vancouver. B. C. to Cali fornia. It has been alleged that Chinese niorrhants In the Mongolian quarter have furnished bonds, after the men were ar rested. On securing liberty the men were placed "at school" and when their cases were called they were sufficiently posted to evade the deportation law. In an effort to break up thiB supposed practice, Assirtant United States Attor ney Bvans has adopted a recent ruling by Judge Hanford, of the Washington Federal Oourt, and has advised that the Chinese be held incommunicado. Judge Hanford held that the effort to evade the immigration laws was not a crime, but a civil offense and that the men were not entitled to secure liberty by fur nishing bonds. It is pointed out that the wording of none of the immigration laws contemplates the allowance of bonds to suspects who are arrested for being il legally in the United States. In support of the contention that Chi nese people are taking advantage of every opportunity to land in Northwest Coast seaports and get aboard the under ground railway, evidence will be present ed to show that 26 Chinese were recent ly found concealed in the chalnlocker of the British Steamer Kumeric when she landed at this port in August. It is believed by Immigration officers that every Oriental ship touching these shores distributes a few Chinamen along the Coast. After they have reached their friends they soon learn enough about America to pass an examination. BURNS, LINCOLN, "T. R." Same Thouslits by All Three Men Are Specified. SALKM. Or.. -Sept. 26.

John Claire Montieth, Portland's well known baritone soloist, has Just re turned from Walla Walla, where he had a week's engagement with Ruzzi's Band at the Walla Walla Valley fair. Mr. Monteith spoke In high praise of the fair and said that he never at tended a better one. The fair management made music one of the special features, said Mr. Mon teith, and the pavilion was crowded every night. Accompanying Mr. Mon teith to Walla Walla were Mrs. May Dearborn Schwab, soprano, and J. Ross Fargo, tenor. The Portland singers rendered solos each evening and that their singing was highly enjoyed was proved by the fact that the largest crowd attended on the closing night. when the pavilion was packed. The Walla Walla country is devel oping rapidly," said Mr. Monteith, "and business in all lines there Is reaching large proportions.

TALKS on TEETH By the REX DEXTAL CO., DENTISTS, Dum Vivimus, Vivamus (While we live, let us live.) When it comes to a choice between two evils, one would do well to choose good teeth and poor food, rather than the reverse. Particularly is this true with those yho eat to live. The man who both eats to live and lives to eat must have both good teeth and good of taste or pleasure, but eating to live Is a necessity. In any event, good teeth are absolutely essential If a man would enjoy good health, this being next to impossible if his food is bolted. Food must be milled (ground) before it goes into the stomach, otherwise there is sure to be trouble. Indigestion, dys pepsia, cancer of the stomach or other intestinal trouble. One cannot properly masticate food with a lot of miHslng teeth. Then it's merely a question of which is the best method of replacing missing teeth, and what dentist shall I choose to do It the top nnteher at a high price, the mlddle rlass dentist or the bargain counter rdental parlor) artists, who give you o much for so little. A word to the wise is sufficient. (Out of nothing, nothing is made.) Alveolar Teeth Where Bridgework Is ImposMihle, If only your front teeth are left, say three or four or more, we can replace all those that have been lost on both sides, clear back, with perfect Alveolar teeth, whilst bridgework would be Im possible even if you had eight or ten front teeth to tie to. If you have only two back teeth on each side, say mo lars, we can supply all the front teeth that are missing with beautiful, serv iceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth. This could not possibly be done by the bridge route. And where bridgework ! Is possible there is no comparison be tween the two. A very large percent ! age of our work is taking out bridge I work put in by supposedly high-class . dentists and replacing It with the beau i tiful and artistic Alveolar teeth. And. I unlike bridgework In another respect, it is practically painless. No boring or cutting into the gums, nothing to be ! dreaded. Now, then, prices being equal, ! which would you choose? 1 Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dls 1 ease given up bv other dentists as in . curable, is another of our specialties.
