to Washington only recently.
It was In reviewing the Jones ca
that the tJourt of Appeals discovered
an error In the sentanco and the low
rr court was called upon to change It.
Slivi was sentenced to four months In
the County Jail and to pay a rlnc of
II ".000.
It Is understood that Mr. Heney 'nas
consistently refused to Join In the rec
ommendation that Jones and Mays shall
receive the clemency of the President.
and when in Portland last Spring the
prosecuting officer said that he con
sidered Jones one of t'.ie Oregon land
frauders who should be Imprisoned In
eiplatlon of his manipulation of the
land laws. Mr. Heney Is understood to
have notified attorney representing
the defendants that he wished to close
those cases on this trip to Portland.
It waa this statement tn at hurried
the Mays application for pardon to
Washington, and an effort will be made
to Induce Mr. Heney to defer filing the
mandates In court until after January
1. Should the documents be placed on
record the defendants will be turned
over at once to the United States Mar
shal. Should they be not filed no ac
tion toward placlns; the aentences In
effect could be taken.
It la expected that Mr. ileney will
take action while here to relieve the
docket of several old Indictments,
some of which have stood nearly six
years. Among; them are the cases
against Horace McKlnley and S. A. I.
Puter, which have been held over rnem
to guarantee their assistance In fer
reting; out frauds committed by other
men. No one In Portland has been ad
vised what action Mr. Heney will take.
He may ask to bave all the cases set

all. of Puern be dismissed.
Considerable Interest has been mani

ants yesterday in the I'nlted States
Court In a controversy over the diver

irrigation purposes. V.ie Pacific Live
stock Company has asked for a per
manent Injunction, asserting that so
mw h of the flow of the stream Is di
verted by the crop raisers that the
cattlemen are unable to secure a suf
. fldent supply of water for the use of
their stock and for domestic purposes.
The Pacific Livestock Company as
serts a riparian right. on account of be
ing fa owner of a large acreage
through which SUvles Klver flows and
because Its cattle have had the use of
the water for many years prior to the
slate when the farmers began Irrigating
their quarter sections for tVie raising
cf crops.
The present suit represents the sec
end controversy which has been liti
gated between the parties. The first
suit waa filed In 101 and waa aettled
out of court through an agreement
which gave the farmers the right to
repair one bank of the stream, put In
Veadgatea and build ditches, they hav
ing the privilege of using all water not
required by the animals belonging to
the livestock company.
It la asserted that the embankment
h.as gone to ruin, that the beadgate Is
In bad repair and that a large por

Into fiie ditches at all times.' It Is
asked that the right of the stock com
pany to all the water of the stream be
approved by the court.

Estimates of Various Depart
ments Reduced to Come
Within Allowance.
SERIOUS PROBLEM OFFERS
Change of Charter Necessary to Ob
tain Funds for Street Cleaning
DepartmentGenera! Fond
Is Insufficient.
Six mills will probably be the city
tax levy for next year. This Is the
opinion of Mayor Simon, who will com
plete the compilation of his annual
budget within the next few days. It
lias bee necessary for the Mayor to
cut down Vae estimates of various de
partments as much as possible, but the
growth of the city has made It neces
sary to provide considerably more
money for running It in 1911 than was
used this year.
"I shall recommend to the Council,"
said the Mayor yesterday, "that the
levy be not more ftian six mills."
Last year the levy was only 4.9 mills,
but that was less than the year previ
ous. The limit allowed by the charter
is seven' mills.
How to get money to meet the ex
pense of the streetcleanlng and sprink
ling department is becoming a serious
problem at the City Hall, for the law
does not permit ttie Council to levy
a tax for that expense. At the time
the present city charter was compiled,
the general fund of the city, which is
made up of receipts from licenses and
similar things, was large enough to
pay for the cleaning and sprinkling of
streets.
New Streets Make Burden Heavy.
, With t'ne great increase In the miles
of paved streets, the cost of this de
partment has grown so rapidly that In
1911 it will not be possible to care lor
it from the general fund. The growth
of expense in the department can be
understood when it Is explained that
In 1903 it amounted to $43,819.48. while
for- this year It will reach I248.750.4S.
or almost six times as much as It was
seven years ago. Tne head of that de
partment has asked for an appropria
tion for next year of $329,566.50.
The estimated receipts for the gen
eral fund, from which the money for
the streetcleanlng and sprinkling de
partment must be taken according to
the present law, for next year Is $GS9,
6S2. wMile the estimated expenditures
amount to $899,335.60. Thus there must
be a deficiency, if the estimate Is ap
proved, of considerably more than $100,
000, and there Is no way for the Coun
cil, to meet it, unless the charter is
changed to so as to permit the city to
levy a tax for me street department.
Almost every year one or more of
the funds for which a tax has been
levied Is depleted before the year ends,
and this deficiency must be made up
from the general fund. The amount of
money thus transferred to ot'ner funds
from the general fund this year will
amount to about $74,000. In 1908 It
readied $103,009.
Charter Change Xccessary.
It is believed now that In order to
keep the departments dependent on the
general fund from realizing a deficit
In future yearB, It will be necessary
to ask the people to change the char
ter so as to permit the city to levy a
tax to pay. for fne street department.
One thing that may Increase the gen
eral fund next year is the proposed in
crease In the price of liquor licenses
from $800 a year to $1000 a year. An
ordinance providing for this is now be
fore the Council. It was introduced by
Councilman Wallace.
City Auditor Barbur has Just com
pleted a table showing the increase in
the annual cost of street Improvements
and sewers and the annual expense of
t'ne city engineer's department during
the last seven years. It shows that the
cost In conducting the city engineer's
office has not Increased In proportion
to the cost of street Improvements.
The total cost of street improvements
for the five years ending with, and In
cluding 1907. was $2,613,757.56. or less
ftian the estimated cost of street Im
provements for this year alone.- Dur
ing the years mentioned, the cost of
conducting the city engineer's office
totaled $117.130.;4. .The cost of street
improvements f'r this year. It Is estl-

Anti-Treating Movement
Begins in Suburb
Itose City Park Folk Will Pay Own
Carfare as Test of Plan.
TIE Rose City Park Improvement
Association has started a movement
that may eventually break up the treat
ing system. The reform Is to begin
with abolishing the practice of paying
each other's streetcar fare. The mem
bers of the association have agreed that
no matter what the circumstances, they
will pay only their own fares on the
streetcar. Should a young man take a
young woman In Rose; City Park to the
theater, which sometimes happens, the
young woman must provide herself with
10 cents before she starts. Although the
money In a family goes into and comes
out of the general fund, when it comes
to streetcar riding each member must
have a nickel to give the conductor to
live up to the agreement.
The agreement became effective last
week, and the number of nickels on the
Rose City Park cars has greatly- in
creased, due to the fact that persons
loyal to the agreement have been taking
pains to obtain correct change before
boarding the cars. The conductors have
grown correspondingly indolent, on ac
count of lack of exercise in making
change. This is an effect not anticipated
when the reform system was Inaugu
rated, but members of the association
hope to supplant the deficiency felt by
the conductors by Inducing them to help
women and babies on and off the cars.
When all the residents of Rose City
Park are broken into the habit of not
paying the fare of anyone or allowing
anyone to pay their fare, the association
proposes to broaden the scope of the
reform movement by extending it to the
cigar Btores, ca.rwly shops, restaurants
and, eventually, to have everybody chew
ing his own gum.

When a remedy has lived for over thirty years, steadily
growing in popularity and influence, and thousands upon
thousands of women declare they owe their very lives to it,
is it not reasonable to believe that it is an article of great
merit?
We challenge the world to show any other one remedy
for a special class of disease which has attained such an
enormous demand and maintained it for so many years as
has Lydia E.Pinkham'8 Vegetable Compound, the famous
woman's remedy for woman's ills. Unless it is a very good
medicine and the claims made for it are honest, such a record
would have been impossible fraud or misrepresentations
would long ago have been detected and the business gone
into oblivion. Read this unsolicited letter :
Corry, Pa. "I am happy to write you about the benefit I
received from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Before my marriage two years ago, I suffered something awful
every month with pains and other distressing symptoms, and I
took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in dry form.
Since then I have never been troubled with pain, not even a
dull backache or headache, and it has helped me a good deal
before childbirth. I recommend your medicine wherever I go."
Mrs. E. E. lloss, 112 E. Church St., Corry, Pa.
When a woman like Mrs. Ross is generous enough to
write such a letter as the above for publication, she should
at least be given credit for a sincere desire to help other
suffering women. For we assure you there is noxother
reason why she should court such publicity. ,
We say it in all sincerity and friendship try this medicine.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has beea the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.
