SAX FR ANCISCO. May 10. (Special.
Unusual Interest Is being1 taken In
h Mrrrhsnts Association's third
wholrsalo trade excursion leaving San
Franrlro Tuesday. May IS, for an
elcht-day trip.
This excursion Is of mors than ordl
r.ary Importance, not only on account of
the l-nrth of the trip but also by
the extent an.! diversity of territory
covered. Regular stops of from one
h"ur to half a day will be made at 21
towns In Northern California and
Southern Oregon.
Besides these regular stops, mer
chants In each of 19 smaller towns
lone the line will be Invited to board
the asMorlation'a special train and
travel to the next stop with the party,
thus glvlnc the Jobbers the opportunity
to meet their customers In those towns
also. Altogether, the excursion will
cover 4' towns and over 100 local
merchants will be visited.
one of the p-clnl features of this
trip will be an all-day boat ride around
Vpper Klamath Lake during the party
stay at Klamath falls. This trip will
be taken fn Sunday. May II. on the
steamer Klamath, which the associa
tion has chartered In order to give t
members of the excursion a day of
complete rest In the middle of a
strenuous trip.
reparations are belnfr made by com
mercial bodies In all the towns along
the line for the reception of the party.
In deference to the express request of
the association, they have screed to
omit all banquets and otber formal en
tertainments, but smokers and Informal
receptions will be held where the ex
cursion stops all night.
The bene tits to San Francisco's trade
of these "personal visit" trips are
being realized by the jobbers. The Im
portanre of a personal acquaintance
between one or more of the members
of the firm with Its customer has al
ready produced far-reaching results
from the two previous excursions run
by this association and great stress Is
laid on the necessity of securing a
foothold In the rapidly - developing
Southeastern Oregon country.
WATER FAMINE IS FEARED
Reservoir Addition Residents Told
Supply Will Bo Short.
Mount Scott people will soon be sup
riled with Bull Run water through
new mains that the Water Board Is
row laylnjr In that district. A U-lnch
main Is being extended from the
Powell Valley road south to the Foster
road, where It will be connected with
the 10-lnch main which supplies nearly
all the territory. A 13-Inch main was
laid two years ago from the Mount
Tabor reservoir to the Powell Valley
road, and there connected with the
Woodmere water plant, and this main
Is now belnsr extended. Eight-Inch
mains are being laid In other portions
of the district. By June as much Bull
Run water will be supplied as the
present mains will carry.
Residents of Reservoir Addition and
adjoining additions are threatened with
shortage, beginning In June. They
are supplied with water from the Mets
ger waterworks, outside the Woodmere
rlp system. They have been Informed
by the manager of the plant that he
would not be able to supply enough
water after June 1. There was a wa
ter famine In Reservoir Addition last
Summer and the people fear It will bi
worse this year unless the city takes
steps for their relief. About 1000 per
sons will be affected by the water
oaffe.

NEW TORK. May 10. (Special.) Urged
by her millionaire husband not to bring

a public trial. Mrs. Hugh Corby Fox has
withdrawn, her suit for divorce and has,
with her husband, entered Into a perma
nent separation agreement,
In her divorce suit when It was died.
Mrs. Fox charged cruelty. To her friends
she declared her marital life was
wretched." In her complaint she did
not specify, and when talking to her
friends she said thst she would not
make publio the "horrid details."
Mrs. Fox, before her marrtsge, was
Marguerite Hltt. a noted Kentucky
iuty. Her husband, who Is rated
several millions, was formerly Identified
with several heavy enterprises at Su
Louis, but recently the couple have lived
New Tork. where they have been
prominent socially, and where Mrs. Fox's
beauty and talents have won her much
praise.

manent custody of their little son. this

creating a civic forum, which tends to
bring- the people closer together.
The committee on speakerss will be
busy for the next few days receiving
volunteers to go out and advocate the
oause before the voters. It Is proposed
to show what can be accomplished with
an auditorium In Portland. It is pointed
nut that In St. Paul. Denver and Des
Moines the auditorium baa 'been not
only self supporting, but that each year
additions have been made to the sink
ing fund and dividends declared.
The proposed 9600.000 bond issue Is
for 30 years. The act providing for the
establishment of an auditorium com
mission provides that the Mayor appoint

The Portland Ad Club went on record
as favoring the ftOO.000 bond Issue for
the city auditorium at the noonday
luncheon yesterday, when 1X5 ad writers
participated In a programme of enter
tainment and Incidentally elected 20
delegates to attend the Pacific Coast Ad
Congress to be beld In Spokane In June.
D. O. Lively presented the motion for
an Indorsement of the city auditorium
and YY. C. Bristol spoke upon the merits
of the proposition, declaring that It was
essential to the well-being and progress
of the city. He pointed out that In most
of the cities where auditoriums were
constructed they were profit sharing
Institutions and not only took care of
themselves but delivered a profit to tbs
city.
"Portland should have one." said Mr.
Bristol, "and In doing so place Itself in
line for the holding of National con
ventions. Other cities on the Coaat
secure National conventions such as
the Shrlnera, the Grand Army of the
Republic, the Klks and othera There
can be no valid argument why Portland
Is not able to be a convention city."
A committee of three was appointed
to co-operate with the committee hav
ing in charge the work of securing the
approval of the bond Issue by the people.
w. C Jones, business manager of the
Minneapolis Journal, and C. K. Blandln.
business manager or the St. Paul Dispatch-Pioneer
Press, who are In the
city, said that Portland could not afford
to miss the opportunity to build an
udltorluro,
"It Is the best Investment a city can
make," said Mr. Blandln. "We have
found It to be a business getter for St,
Paul in a number of wars. St. Paul
would not any more do without Its audi
torium than It would do without Its
railroads. It Is not only conducted so
that it pays for Itself, but It brings to
the city thousands of dollars In the way
or iraoe.
"In our city the auditorium has
proved a boon to the laboring people.
It has given them a chance to have free
concerts or the very highest type. Then

City Council Posses Resolution Look
ing Toward Xew Form of
Municipal Government.
Mayor Simon will appoint a commit
tee of IS members to formulate a com
mission form of charter for Portland.
He was authorized to do so by a reso
lution adopted by the City Council
yesterday morning.
"I am In full accord and sympathy
with the movement for a commission
form of city charter," said Mayor Si
man, "and will give my earnest con
sideration to the appointment of the
commission authorised by the City
council, i shall appoint the mem'
bers as soon as I can get time to
pick out the men best suited to the
Important task. I consider this one
of the most Important duties that have
been given me to perform since I be
came Mayor."
Councilman Burgard introduced the
resolution, which also appropriates
1000 to defray the expenses of the
commission. The resolution and ordi
nance were passed without a dissent
ing vote.
Mayor Simon was also authorized to
appoint a committee of five to make
an Investigation of the project to put
a tunnel under council Crest to ooen
the Tualatin district. Councilman
Beldlngr introduced this resolution at
the request of a large number of peo
ple wno signed a petition.
Permission was granted to the pro

BUSINESS MEN CONFER
Mayor Simon, Burgard and Philip
Bueliner Refuse to Run, Dr. A.
C. Smhh Undecided Judge
Cianlenbeln to Be Urged.
Political activity yesterday failed to
develop anything definite in the effort
to bring out an Independent candidate
for the office of Mayor, against A. G.
Rushlight, the Republican nominee. An
adjourned conference "of business men
met at luncheon and discussed the sit
uation, but centered upon no one. They
will meet again tomorrow noon, at
which time. It Is predicted, decisive
action will be taken looking toward
the centralization of the units favor
able to the launching of a campaign to
defeat the man who managed to pull
through the primaries with a compara
tively small vote.
Chief interest thus far centers about
Mayor Simon, Dr. Andrew C. Smith.
State Circuit Judge Gantenbeln and
John H. Burgard, member of the City
Council and Republican nominee to
succeed himself. Mr. e Burgard said
yesterday that he would not accept
the suggestions and petitions of his
friends and run for the office of Mayor,
as he could not, he declared, afford to
do so at this time on account of his
business.
Burgard Not Ambitious.
"I feel greatly complimented on ac
count of the excellent vote given me
last Saturday in the primary," said Mr.
Burgard, "but I do not construe that
as meaning that I could poll so large
vote were I to run for Mayor. I do
not aspire to the higher place, anyway,
and, if I did, I could not afford at this
time to leave my business. I will not
be a candidate for Mayor."
Mayor Simon yesterday received
through the mail, over the telephone
and in person requests to announce
himself as a candidate for the office
which he now holds, but he said last
night that he bad given all of these re
quests little consideration, as he did
not Intend to be a candidate and
therefore had kept his mind on publio
business.
Dr. Andrew C Smith, who Is being
urged by many of his friends to be a
candidate, has not fully determined.
He has a great deal of business to
attend to and, while many believe he
could beat Rushlight If he would con
sent to run, Is loath to enter the race
and leave his own private affairs.
Judge Gantenbeln, whose name is be
ing mentioned by many, was out of the
city yesterday, being In attendance at
the Roseburg Strawberry Carnival.
Philip Buehner, one of the best-
known business men In Portland, was
mentioned prominently yesterday. It
was generally conceded that he was
Mayoralty timber. Several Influential
citizens approached him In regard to
entering the race, but to each he said
he could hardly consider It. He In
tends leaving the city for a long trip
early next Fall, he explained, and he
felt that he would not care to run for
the office of Mayor.
'I believe we should have an Inde
pendent candidate for Mayor," said Mr.
Buehner, "but I am not the right man.
I have several In mind, but don't care
to mention their names Just at this
time. I have never held any publio
position and do not care for the place.
Added to this, I expect to leave the
city for a trip next Fall and would not
care to engage in an election as head
of a ticket."
There Is no doubt that there will be
an Independent candidate for Mayor
against Rushlight. It remains only for
some one to be brought out who can
harmonize the voters who oppose him.
Men standing high in the affairs of the
city have Interested themselves In the
subject and Intend to center upon a
candidate soon. The greatest of inter
est abounds as to who this man will
be. Every one is waiting expectantly.
Rushlight Is Resting.
Meanwhile, Rushlight, who passed
through the storm of criticism and
withering fire of startling charges of
misconduct In office as a Councilman,
made by Gay Lombard, is resting at the
hot springs near Portland. Before leav
ing the city he expressed himself as
being confident of victory June 6, when
the general election occurs, no matter
who may be brought out against him.
"I entered the Republican primaries
In good faith, made my fight against
all odds and won the nomination," said
Mr. Rushlight yesterday. "I can't see
what excuse there Is for an Indepen
dent candidate, but If they do run
some one against me, I feel certain
that I will be elected In spite of It, I
believe the people generally are satis
fied and that they will support me. I
confidently expect to be the next Mayor
of Portland."
Such is the situation on the Repub
lican side. In the Democratic camp
much the same condition prevails.
George H. Thomas, who won the nomi
nation. Is confident of success. He
looks for no Independent to run aga'nst
him. He said yesterday he believes that
he can beat Rushlight. If the fight is
between them alone.
Tom Word. ex-Sheriff, Is said to be
in a receptive mood. He is the most
talked-of Democrat for the position
and many believe he would make a
good run. He is undetermined, how
ever, as to whether to enter the raoa.

' Hood River Street Work Upheld.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. May 10. (Special.)
At the meeting of the City Council
last night the committee on streets re
ported that it had made an Investiga
tion of the Improvement of State street,
the levy of an assessment for payment
of which had been remonstrated against
at the last week's meeting of the body.
The committee held that assertions that
the contractor, W. G. Aid ted, had not
compiled with the terms of the agree
ment are Incorrect and submitted the
recommendation, which was adopted, to
the effect that the work should be ac
cepted by the city. The Are and water
committee reported that a number of
the buildings of the city were not prop
erly equipped with escapes. Better
facilities were ordered placed in the
