Tba action that 1 recommend ha two different line of procedure Th first' haa referenc to th rnv necessity of immedi ate, practical legislation by Congress for th administration of th canal after It ta completed. Th aecond require auch Independent and eo-operaclv effort of your commercial organization and of your Indi vidual business interests a will cause them fuUy to be 4iuainted ahead of tim tth th new condition of enmmerr and trad which will result from th open In of that waterway, and enabi them to build tip rapidly tb export and Import bualneaa of this port and auction.

Congress haa a tendency to overlook or neglect th crvm necessity of now fix In by law th administration of the canal, ao that not only Colonel Ooethala. but th commerce of tb Pacific Coast and th world may know exactly what ar th condition thr most meet when merchant vessels shall pas through th canal from aea to see. It will be Impoaaibl to nan th canal efficient ly and economically uales there can be a proper period of training It would be th height of folly to spend SVXJ.0uo.u"O digging th canal and then open It with out trained and aettled efficiency for Its operation. bin lions of dollar may be lot to tbi Coast and to tha I'nlted State aim ply through delay la enacting th neeeseary legislation for th admlnatratloa of th canal.

Th aecond I th provision that ther shall be "one-man power' upon th Canal Zone. or.

The most desperate chances Imagina ble are taken by Mlas Tiny Broadwlck, the young and daring aeronaut, who will ascend a mile high In a balloon at th Oaks Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mlas Broadwlck will leap from her balloon Into a parachute and will then whirl downwards at a dlzsy speed. Her drop will be checked by the para chute, which she will then cut away to again dive headlong. A second para, chute will catch her up and she will float down to earth or Into the middle of the river. The act Is the most aen aatlonal ever at the Oaka. There will b. a second ascension at :J P.

Rod v gers, of Salem, May Run. Multnomah Third District. Although ' the ' campaign will not open before the middle of September or later, several prospective candidates are already looking over the field with a view to trying out for the nomina tion for Representative In Congress from one of the three Congressional districts In the primaries which will be held next April. Representative Hawley. In the First District, and Representative Lafferty, who now represents the Second District, will be candidates to succeed them selves. Hawley will ask for re-electton from his district while Lafferty will run for election from Multnomah Coun-. ty, which constitutes the Third Dis trict In the First District, Hawley may be opposed In the primaries by George F. Rodgers, ex-Representatlv. from Ma rlon County and ex-Major of Salem and prominent Rep Jbllcan.' C. L. McNary, Deputy District Attorney, of SaJera. may also aspire for tha nomin ation against Hawley. Many May Seek "Honor. Material for Congress from this county has not developed, although the ensuing few weeks are expected to bring forth a bountiful crop of "will ing" candidates. Oeorga S. Shepherd. C X. McArthur and John F. Logan ar. among th. names that have been sug gested aa likely rivals of Lafferty for the nomination. There la an abundance of candidates already In sight In the Second District and before th. primaries are held it would not be surprising If more than a majority of the Eastern Oregon coun ties each had a candidate for the nomi nation. Among the possibilities" are mentioned the following: W. H. Brooke, of Harney: T. J. Mahoney. of Morrow; Henry M. McKlnney. of Baker; Eraraett Callahan, of Baker; R. R. Butler, of Wasco; Jerry P. Rusk, of Wallowa, and N. J. 61nnott, of Waaoo. Dr. Harry Lane, of this city, undoubt edly will be tha Democrat lo candidate to oppose tha Republican nominee from this Congressional district. One Representative Gained. Under the Congressional reappoint ment bill, which was passed' by the t'nlted States Senate yesterday, Oregon gains another Representative In Con gress. Anticipating this legislation by the National Congress, the Oregon Leg islature last Winter enacted a bill by T. J. Mahoney, Representative from Mor row and I'maMMa Counties, redisrict ing the state Into three Congressional districts so aa to take care of the state's additional Representative. It vii provided in this bill, however, that Its provisions should not become oper ative until the reapportionment bill was passed by Congress. Bv the terms of the Mahoney bill. Multnomah County, unattached, be comes the Third Congressional district. Clatsop and Columbia Counties are de tached from the Second Congressional District and added to the First Con gressional District. At the nam. time Klamath and Lake counties are cut orr from the First Congressional District and annexed to the Second Congression al District. With th. exceptions noted. the First and Second Congressional Districts are not changed. The effect of the changes Is to constitute Into Into tha First Congressional District all counties of Western Oregon with the exception of Multnomah. All of tha counties lying east of the Cascades now constitute the Second Congressional District. ELECTRIC LINE IN VIEW Road From Dayton to Pendleton Via Wall Walla May Be Built. WALLA WALLA. Wash..

SPENCER'S ATTACK FUTILE Judge Kavanaugh Holds That Re quest for Injunction by City, Not Salt, I Proper Conrs Owing to Oregon Grant. ta vivininrh resterday morning decidad the case of the State of Oregon ex rel. E. W. Spencer against the Port- j land Railway. Light & Power Company In favor of the defendant, me court held that tha state ha no interest whatsoever In tha enforcement of city regulatlone. the state having a;lven a franchise which permit tha carriage of freight and having delegated to the city the right to grant and enforce local franchises. y ki. ..l.tAM th TnHrA nolntsd to a section of the charter of Portland which provide a remedy for violation of franchises, the remedy being that tha executive offlcera of the city on being apprised of violation must, un der pain of impeachment, taka atep looking toward forfeiture of franchise or absolute cessation of the evil against which complaint la made. Tho action of Captain Spencer was in tha nature of a quo warranto proceed ing citing the company to show causa why It should not be enjoined from carrying freight on it local lines, tha franchises which It holds from the city not Including tbla power. State' Step Attacked. John M. Gearin. appearing for tha company, did not attempt to deny act ual violations aa alleged In tho com plaint but took tha position that the state had no right to Intervene In the action. In this contention he has now been upheld by Judge Kavanaugh, who decided that the question Is purely a local ona. under the exclusive control of the local authorities. "It Is contended by the defendant. " said the Judge In his decision, "among other things that thl action is mis conceived and that tha pleadings and evidence fall to disclose a situation that authorizes the application of the remedy provided by the statute. - It I aid that th evil complained of as thus disclosed Is not the usurpation or tha Intrusion into or unlawful tenure or exercise of a franchise, but merely that the grantee has violated certain pro visions of tha franchise of the City of Portland r.lating to th. transportation of freight and express matter. Double Franchise Held. "Th sections of tha coda under whloh thl action was Instituted are statutory substitute for tha common law proceeding In quo warranto. The common law writ 1 abolished, but the remedy obtainable under th. common law may be obtained under tha coda. Quo warranto In It broadest cense Is a proceeding to determine the right to the use or exercise of a franchise and to oust the holder from Its enjoyment If It claim be not well founded, lo thl view, and according to the weight of authority, this defendant is the holder of franchises from different sources, a SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL FROM T TO O'CLOCK OXIY. am Worth of J)l.UO Good f-- oa sale for onIy..jUG 23c Box of Soap, 2Se Jar Talcum, 25c Hand Scrub, 25c Tooth Powder, Se Weak Cloth, 4 $1.05 50c READ any certain day: GOc Llitt rtae at only 50c Poss.ni'a Pow der at only. .......

Seventh and Washington Sts. franchise conferred by the state and others by the City of Portland. "The franchise from the state does not prohibit, but permits the carriage of freight for hire. Most of the mu nicipal franchise in question prohibit the carriage of freight or express mat ter without license from the Council. Under Its state franchise this defendant has constructed and now operates sev erai interurean line on which It car ries freight for hire under authority from tne state. State Favor Practice. "If tha state has any Interest In the carriage of freight or express matter by railway companies, that Interest Is uniformly manifested In favor of the practice, but the stats has delegated to this municipality the authority to grant franchises within Its corporate limits and has conferred upon it power to impose such regulation as the local exigencies may demand. It must be conoeeded that the practice of this defendant In 'carylng freight or ex press matter on It line in the City of Portland was never prohibited by the state but the restrictions were. Im posed by the city for purely local rea son nor ha the state any longer any Interest in the enforcement of these local regulations. Bo wa have here presented the anomalous situation of the state attempting to enforce a reK ulatlon which It did not Impose, In whlcn it has no interest and attempting to prohibit and exclude a privilege which it freely granted to this railroad cor poration and to all railroad corpora tlons. Injunction Right Coarse. "The city can secure relief in the ordinary and usual remedy for viola tions of public service franchises. Sec tion 155 of the charter empowers the Mayor to Institute proper proceeding by injunction to that end. "I conclude therefore that 'the com plaint here is that the defendant has engaged in business not authorized by some of Its franchises; acta that are ultra Vires or In excess of Its power but not that It ha usurped franchises not granted. Acts in excess of author ity may ba carried ao far as to amount to a misuse of tha franchise and au thorize its forfeiture. A forfeiture, however, I not sought In this pro ceeding. As I have said this proceed ing Is designed to oust the defendant from a franchise not to prevent it from exercise of privileges that are ultra vires, without assailing its rights to exercise the privileges granted. For these reasons I am of the opinion that the action is misconceived, that the pleadings and evidence do not disclose a situation which entitle the relator to the remedy sought and this action must fall." DIVORCE IS DENIED BOTH Judge Kavanaugh Find Bach of Complaining Couple to Blame. Holding that husband and wife were equally at fault. Judge Kavanaugh yesterday denied a decree of divorce in tha case of B. C. Seydell against Jessys Seydell. The evidence showed that both had gone "Joyriding" with other men and women. Judge Kavanaugh overruled a mo tion last week for tha reopening of tha case, holding that evidence which Mrs. Seydell wished to present as fur ther proof of the charge against her husband waa culmulatlve and not new evidence.
