In Portland the firms Invariably pay various employes In the-"diflrent de partments above tha scale. This Is no doubt the rasa In ail cities, and It no doubt causes a great deal of trouble or tha employer, as It makes the In ferior workman an agitator for a raise la the minimum scale. "Will Portland purchasers of print ing pay this difference In the cost of their printing? They are now doing so, or shout per cent of them are doing so, because ther want to keep Portland money circulating In Port land. But. will they stand for St per rent above the Eastern price? That la what tha present demand of the union mean. The" employing printers of Portland have coma to the conclusion that If tha printing of this city la to remain here it must be produced at a reasonable price. As labor constitutes about 4 per cent of tha cost of the production of printing It Is the most Important Item. Therefore. It should bo plain that tha stand now taken by the Job printers Is one of necessity." BARTENDER FINED, ALSO Court Holds FJecUon of Drunken 31am la ei lhole Datj.

LOMBARD READY; RUSHLIGHT BALKS Werlein's Challenge-to Debate Accepted by Only One In Mayoralty Race. TREASURER IS ANSWERED PropecllT Candidate, Who Agrees to THscass City Problems, De clare Pnblio Argument is Voters' Right. Voters 'of the city need not expect an opportunity to hear municipal questions discussed publicly by the three Rrpubll- Lran candidates tor Mayor. While Gay Lombard notified City Treasurer Wer lein yesterday that ha would participate gladly In Mr. Werleln's proposed three handed debate. Councilman , Rushlight has thus far evaded the challenge. It Is understood Mr. Rushlight" s friends have advised him against taking fart In any public discussion of the Issue in the campaign. "From the outset of this campaign." said Mr. Lombard. "I have contended that any man who is afraid to go before the people and tell them what he thinks with tha courage or his convictions should not ba considered for a moment as a candidate for Mayor. I have been perfectly willing from the beginning to talk directly to the people and let them know what I stand for and I know of no better plan than to meet the other can didates for Mayor-and have a general discussion. For this reason I shall glad ly take part In such a-debate and have ao notified Mr. Werleln. Own Orator)- Donbtcd. "It will be with considerable trepida tion that I shall participate In tha pro posed debate. I realize that I am not an experienced public speaker and do not know what kind of a showing I will be able to make with Mr. Werleln. who la a good debater. But I have something to. nay to the people of Portland and I shall talk straight from the shoulder. I do not want any straddling on the various Issues before the people at .thla time. I shall straddle nothing myself end shall expect my opponents to con fine themselves 'to a plain statement or what they advocate and their position on every question confronting the vot ers (Who are deeply concerned at this time In municipal affairs. I shall Insist on such a course by both Mr.' Werleln and Mr. Rushlight. Thus tart both have sought to evade committing themselves on sny of tba really Important municipal problems. v Several Reforms Promised. "Mr. Werleln la simply superhuman when he claims to have a remedy for every evil In the body politic as we find It In our city affairs. I do not profess to be able to correct all or the gibuses existing' In our system of municipal gov ernment, but I do claim to be able to ac complish several vital reforms nnd tee people majr depend upon me to do It If I am elected Mayor. "If I possessed a solution to all of tha municipal problems Mr. Werleln pro fesses to have, and had been In the em ploy of the -city for 20 years. I do not think I would atlU be serving this mu nicipal corporation as .City Treasurer. Large corporations, both public and pri vate, are looking for Just such men as Mr. Werleln claims to be. If he Is able to effect tha wholesale reforms he pro fesses lie &n. his services would long since have been In demand and at a salary beyond computation. Discussion Deemed Juit,. "The voters also have a right to hear what the several candidates for the Council bsva to say on all municipal questions now engaging the attention of the people. These candidates ahould come out with a plain statement of what they atand for and give the voters an Idea or where they may be expected to be found If elected. Oct them make a simple but positive declaration of their position. The use of the stereotyped phrase 'an efficient and economical busi ness administration' Is meaningless. Where is there a voter snd taxpayer In the City of Portland who does not de sire such an administration of our city government Let these candidates define their positions ss to the corporations, the paving trusts, the garbage crema tory, street vacations and other large and vital Issues of so great Importance to this city. That Is what the people are demanding to know. That la what they are entitled to know. It la only natural to conclude that the voters are viewing with great suspicion those can dldntea for Council who are evading a discussion of these questions as well as defining their position In relation there to." . 1 EXCURSION To Gateway.

Auditing- of City Treasurer' Ao counts Being; Made. Friends of City Treaaurer Werleln scent a political motive In the unex pected Investigation of the records and accounts of his office, which was begun yesterday by Traveling Auditor Mc Allister. - representing the surety bond company by which Mr. Werleln Is bonded to the amount of $100,000. This suspicion Is based on the fact that the office was thoroughly examined and checked up by representatives of the same bonding companies not six weeks ago. At that time the office was found to be In good shape, with every rent of the city's money balancing In the accounts. Mr. Werleln said- yeaterday that he' was not At all concerned over the pend ing Investigation, which he welcomed at any time. Mr. McAllister yesterday completed an examination of the re ceipts and expenditures of the city, as shown by the records In the Treasurer's office and also counted the cash which he found to be correct to a cent. Fur ther than this. Mr. McAllister had noth ing to say. explaining that probably another week would be required to complete the Investigation of other of fices at the City Hall. v - ATTACK CALLED UNWARRANTED Werleln Points to Record In Reply to Lombard's Charge. . Other than to pronounce it an "un warranted attack. City Treasurer Werleln yesterday declined to discuss tha charge of Gay Lombard, rival can didate for the Republican Mayoralty nomination, that Werleln Improperly used the funds of tfre city during the financial disturbance In the Fall of 107. In reply to that accusation, Mr. Werleln and his friends merely call attention to the, report of a special. in- NEURALGIA OF ' THE8T0MACH A Kansas Woman Tells of the Knife-Like Pains She Suffered. After Eight Years of Treatment Wrtk- ut Result the Patient Tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and Waa Quickly Cured. Neuralgia, is irritation or inflamma tion of a nerve. When the nerves of the stomach are inflamed the term neu ralgia of the stomach is used. Tha treatment is the same as for any other form of . nenralgig and consists of a proper tonic, nourishing food and vst. Mrs. Mary E. Thorpe of No. ?025 Riley street, Atchinson, Kans., was cured of a long-standing case of neural gia of the stomach by Dr. Williams' Pink PiMs. She says: "For more than twenty years I suf fered from neuralgia of the stomach which was frequently so bad that I wag confined to my bed lor days at a timet I had knife-like pains in my stomach and each year they grew worse and worse untU finally the doctors, who had been treating me for over eight years, said they could do nothing to help me and gave me morphine to ease the pain. ' "A friend then recommended Ir. Williams' Pink Pills and I began tak ing Jbem. My case was a stubborn one and I took about four boxes before I could see that they were helping me. But with the fifth box results came rapidly and soon I was entirely cured. I have had no return of the trouble and arn now in very good health, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to make new blood and, as the nerves get their nourish ment from the blood, have been found invaluable in a wide range of diseases of the blood and nerves, such as ante-, mia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia, nervous de bility, and even St. Vitus' dance and locomotor ataxia. ,Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are for sale at all druggists, or will be mailed to any address, postpaid, on ' receipt of price, 50 cents per box : six boxes for 12.50, by the Dr. Williams ' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

See Vararday Oregoals BuyPortlan d Acreage BUY NOW while prices are low so low that you can make a profit if you sell again this year. Close-in acreage is cheaper today around Portland than in the environs of any other large city in the West. IT WILL GROW in value as the city grows. We do. not say that acres today will be lots tomorrow only what you know; that Portland acreage is a safe and sound and a timely investment at its pres ent prices, and that it is certain to yield a steady, firm and substantial increase. Portland can't grow without extending its limits. That means expansion both in side and outside. Not everyone may share in the increase of realty values due to IN SIDE growth; but ANYONE who works and saves may own Portland acreage, A Beautiful Body of Land WE are owners of a beautiful bor? of Portland acreage on the Powell Valley road, six miles east of the Morrison street bridge. It is platted into acre lots, is convenient to transportation, and has an abundance of pure sweet water for domestic uses and for irrigation. Our prices and terms cannot fail to interest any man who cares to own a foot of land They are suited to the means of any man who earns a living' wage or salary. , , - -i How Much of Mother Earth Do You Own? DO YOU own Portland real estate? Do you own ANY part of mother Earth? AsK yourself. Some persons get the habit of going through life with nothing but chattels, and they seldom thinK of owning' land. They pay rent, month after month, year after year,' with never an effort to become land proprietors themselves. If you are one of them, breaK that habit today. Come to our offices and let us talK the matter over. If you are interested, as we Know you must be, we shall be more than glad to taKe you out and show the property. If you find it the delightful place we represent it, and you will, the price andjerms will sell it to you. You will return to your worK with a sense of satisfaction, with a strong'er and nobler purpose, and life will mean more to you than it has meant before. Get in While the Market Is Right E LBERT HUBBARD said, "First be sure you are right, then do it NOW." That is wise advice for the man who is buy ing' property. It applies singularly to acreage just outside the Portland city limits today. A comparison with the prices of acreag'e in the suburbs of any considerable city will convince you that Portland acreage is a RIGHT buy, and there's not the slightest question in the world that the time to act is NOW. Portland acreag'e is becoming' more active every day, and any considerable delay means the loss of added profits you might inaKe. k . Your Taxes Will Be Low TyVy outside the city, limits, near to transportation, where there is a plenty of good water, and the land will yield a g'ood garden. Build on it and live on it, or rent it become a landlord yourself. The rent will pay for it in time. Being' just outside the city the taxes will be low. When the city growth absorbs it, your land will be worth several times its firesent price. It is not conceivable that it can ever be worth ess than it is today. Inside Acreage Wiped Out N article in The Oregonian of February 4, the present year, states: "An important feature of last year s activ ity in residence property was the. virtual wiping' out of unim proved acreage tracts within the city limits.
