u TIIE HORNING OHEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, 3IAY 10. 1911. LAV. HILL TO HEAD OREGON AUTO Great Northern President Of fers Cup to Community With Best Roads. EXTENDED TRIP PLANNED Good Hijthwaja as Important a Railroad, iM-larrs Offh-lal, Who Propose to Slww His Faith With Ieeds. "Good county roads are as essential t the development of Or iron as good railroad, declared Louis TV. Hill. president of the Oreat Northern Hall way, before- leaving for his trip over the new Oregon Trunk line Into Cen- tral Oregon yesterday. in fact, the com trurt Ion and tile prosperity of the railroads depend i largely upon the manner In which the I state and county highways are kept up. We can't expect to get much freight bujlneaa from a community that does not proTlde ample access to the rail roads. "A deplorable feature of railroad de- relopment that I hare noticed, though. Is that many communities, instead of improving tbeir highways after a rail road enters. nrrlevt them. Before the xauroao. is Bum the county road as a means of transportation Is a necessity and the people try to keep It Op to the best possible standard. Aftrr the rail road is built the public highway no longer appears so essential to the of the people and they sometimes cease- to give It required attention. declare that the extension of territory ef Portland can be accomplished only b j. amending the city charter, and that to amend the city charter a vote of the entire city must be taken. The plaintiffs In the suit are R. W. McKeon. C. C. Oihus, T. H. Cochrane. Joseph UcChesney, J. B. Holbrook. Pe ter Autsen. A. M Stearns, M. I. Hoi brook. Portland Manufacturing Com pany. Peninsula Iron Works and Law re nee Holbrook. Among other things it Is contended by the plaintiffs that the ballot In St. Johns did not specify that the territory described on the ballot was the City of St. Johns, and therefore the voters were misled. It la asserted that If It had been known by the voters that the city 01 foi. Johns was Included In the tern lory described, the people would have voted down the annexation. This fail ure. It Is declared, to make It definite In the title of the ballot that St. Johns wss to be annexed to Portland will d prlva property owners of St. Johns of rlty property m which they have an In terest without due process of law. By being annexed to Portland, the property owners of St. Johns. It Is as serted, must take up a much greater tax burden than they are compelled to carry at present. It la declared that the Indebtedness of the city If Port land Is .71.i00. which Is 1.541 per cent of the assessed valuation of all the property of tha city. The Indebt edness of St. Johns. It Is set forth. Is SM.000. l.sJS per cent of tha total as sessed valuation. St. Johns Is Included In Precincts ISC. 137 and about one-third of 163. The Judges of these precincts received bal lots for the annexation, and It Is In ferred in the complaint filed yesterday that people living In precinct 15. out side of tha city of SL Johns, voted on the Issue. In precinct 15. tm vote was for, and against annexation: In precinct 17 the, vote waa IIS for and 1SJ against annexation, while In precinct log. which It is asserted Is only one third In St. Johns, the vote waa 145 for and only ? against annexation.

With rail development should come road de velopment. With each impia-vement on the steam road should come propor tionate Improvement on the county morougnrares. We should co-operate Jn this movement. "Hereafter our system will be found to be more active In Its Interest In county roads. Wherever we can. we ehall aid the several communities that are trying to help themselves by keen ing tneir roads in good repair and making it easier for the . farmer to bring his produce to the nearest rail road station so that It can be shipped to market. Our interests are so close ly allied In this work that neither the railroads nor the farmers should hesi tate about seeking and accepting aid from the other. "I believe that the good roads move ment Is second to none In interest and Importance among the many public questions that confront tha people of Oregon today. As a motor enthusiast Mr. Hill be- neves mil tna automoblllsta In co operation with the farmers are des tined to solve the good roads problem. The most effective results can be ob tained, ha says, through extended au tomobile trips over tha state, either by Individual owners of machines or by ntulied parties. He Is In favor of the latter method of acquainting thi automobile men with the road situation and proposes to have a party formed In Portland next Summer for the purpose of conducting a tour over tha state. Sliver Cup to lie Given. Ha believes that ' business men. by taking a trip of this kind, would profit greatly In the chance that It would give them to become acquainted with their patrons In distant parts of Ore gon and that the communities likewise would feel a beneficial effect In the sentiment that It would create on the part of Ua travelers for road Improve ment. Charge y Vnprofessional Conduct In Connection With Death or Mrs. Foleen Stands. Ir. 'William Eleven was defeated yes terday In his effort to induce tha Cir cuit Court to restore to him the medi cal license that the State Board of Ex aminers recently revoked on the ground of unprofessional and dishonest con duct. The State Board of. Examiners found that Lr. Elsen had performed an unlawful operation on Mrs. Anna Koleen. wife of C J. Foleen. October IS. Judge McGinn sustained tha findings of the Board. After the State Board of Examiner bad revoked his license. Dr. Elsen filed suit In the Circuit Court to have thi action of the Board set aside. He. con tended that aa the law did not specify how maw members of the Board should form a quorum, all of them must' be present to transact business. Thi Board of Examiners, through Sain Gel White, its attorney, filed a demurrer to tbla suit, alleging that It waa not necessary for the entire Board to bo present. Judge Gantenbeln sustained the demurrer. The court In that case held that If Dr. Elsen'a contention were true It would be possible for one member of the Board to absent himself purposely and block business when he cause. After tha suit failed. Dr. Elsen asked for a rehearing. It waa thia motion tnat was heard yeaterday. airs. Foleen died from the effects of the operation. Ir. Eisen waa arrested, charged with manslaughter, but tha grand Jury failed to Indict him. . Dr. Elsen bad been In similar trouble on a previous occasion but escaped los ing nis license. JTl'RV JtECOMMODS SIERCV Available candidates to run against O. Rushlight Independently for Mayor were dlacussed at two confer ences of business-men held yesterday. One of these meetings was held at the roruana Commercial Club. The other was of a mors Informal nature. While no candidate was definitely decided upon at either of the two conferences to run against Rushlight, the subject will be considered further at another meeting today, when It Is expected representa tives who attended-both conferepces yes terday will be In attendance. The antl-Rushllght movement has progressed sufficiently to Ineure the bringing out of an Independent candi date. The situation now resolves Itself Into a question who the candidate will be. Simon Tred to Hun. At tha conference held In .the Com mercial Club, sentiment strongly fa vored Mayor Simon. In rid It Ion to this expression, another delegation of Re publicans called on Mayor Simon at the City Hall yesterday and renewed the demand of previous delegations that he consent to run against Rushlight as an Independent candidate. But, as on for. mer occasions. Mayor Simon gave his interviewers little satisfaction. He re fused to say whether or not he would run. reserving a final .decision until he has an opportunity to Tevlew the field and determine his chances of de feating Rushlight if -he should enter the contest. John H. Burgard. who has been sug gested as a desirable Independent can didate, probably will not enter the fight even If It should be put up to him. Burgard has said that for business rea sons ha could not afford ta run for Mayor, even If he had .the advance as surance that he would be elected. Before an Independent candidate la Selected. Mr. Burgard would have Rush light commit himself definitely to the publlo as to what he stands for U muni cipal affairs and what could be expected from him aa Mayor. This suggestion does not meet with general favor among those who would defeat Rush light, from the fact that the Republi can nominee for Mayor during the pri ma r-s campaign most Industriously avoided committing himself on any Is sue confronting the voters at this time. Positive Man Wanted. The demand la for a positive and ag gressive candidate who has some defi nite policies and who, in advocating them. Is not afraid to come out In the open and tell the voters where they . can find him. Efforts to bring out Dr. Andrew C. Smith against Rushlight were renewed yesterday. By many Republicans Dr. Smith Is picked as the man who can de feat Rushlight by reason of the sources of strength be can command over Rush light. Dr. tmltb, however, has not com mined himself. He haa taken tha sub ject under advisement. Further progress has not been made In the movement from another direc tion to persuade Tom V ord. Democrat la ex-Sheriff, to run. Thus far Word has been as reticent as Dr. Smith In Cam You Make $ 1 p? a Year? "Xo!" the average worker -will have to confess , after carefully going over the question "nor half that." v . ; But maybe you haven't considered all the possi bilities, all the chances that are about you. EVER FIGURE OUT the earning worth of even a small Oregon fruit or vegetable tract one close to market? Then let's couple your energy to, say TEN ACRES and see what you can do.' Take apples, for an example : A mature orchard will produce, on a bad year, 500 boxes of good apples per acre. Good apples being $2 a box on the average. Hence multiply the selling price by the number of boxes produced per acre and again by the number of acres $2x500x10 equals $10,000. . "Hundreds of thrifty people are doing that well and better on fertile little Oregon tracts. You cau do it, too. x FOR HERE'S A CHANCE TO GET THE LAND CHEAP Those happy, independent producers saw their chance years ago when good land was cheap. Now CHARPITTrNG, the new cheap land clear ing method, is making it possible to buy in at tha beginning of a NEW ERA of development the CHARPIT ERA. WE HAVE DEVELOPED CHARPITTING IN BEAVER HOMES AT T?

They frankly admit that they have not the slightest fear or u nomas the Democratic nominee, feeling that he Cannot register better than 50 per cent of his party's vote, let alone making any substantial inroads on the ReDubllcan vote. Their only fear is from an ludenendent Republican, who may be In a position to command the vote of the antl-Rushlisrht Republicans.

MAKES THE COMPLEXION SOFT AND VELVETY "My first advice to any woman seek ing a charming complexion is to taboo tho powder box," says Mae Martyn, a noted authority on beauty culture. "Powder clogs up the pores, enlarges them, making coarse, muddy, blotchy complexions. "The very best complexion beautlfler I have ever used and it is far superior to powder is a simple. Inexpensive lo tion made by dissolving 4 ounces of spurmax Jn one-half pint hot water. then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerine. This lotion does not show on the skin nor will it rub off- easily as powder does. It makes the skin soft and vel vety, leaving it clear and youthful looking. ' 'No other preparation has so far been discovered to equal this lotion for correcting a shiny, oily, sallow com plexion. Every woman should have a bottle of this wonderful lotion on her dressing table." Adv. BEACH PROPERTY AT v Gearhart Park "BY-THE-SEA."
