conference of committees representing
the two charter revision commissions
and tha City Council, scheduled for yes

RESERVOIR PAY STOPPED

rroject to Supply Big; Southern
Part of City Across River.
Rate Outside Limits Grow.
Submission by Chief Engineer Clark
of plan for reinforcing, low and hlgh
preaaur malna for the South East Side
district to coat an aggregate of nearly
11.000.000 and the refusal of tha Mayor
and members to pay any more to con
tractors on the Mount Tabor reservoirs
were the chief features of a session of
th Water Board yeaterday afternoon.
Th Board alao fixed a policy that
tonaumera of Bull Run water living
outside the oity limits shall be charged
a rate exceeding that paid by residents
within the limits.
While It will require several years In
which to carry out the extensive plans
submitted by Engineer Clarke, work to
cost tU.000 waa ordered at the meet
ing yesterday, thla being a service main
from Division street south, to tap me
Sellwood district. Other portions of
the system will be Installed from time
to time, as the Board aeea fit. but the
placee moat urgently needing water
will be supplied first. It la the plan
to so arrange things that residents of
Sellwood will have an abundance of
water next Summer and to alao furnish
Woodstock. Rich mod and other neigh
boring placea with a supply sufficient
to be ample for ordinary requirements.
Big Zea to Be Supplied.
Seven and one-half square miles of
territory will be covered by the sys
tem submlttted by Engineer Clarke. It
Includea nearly all of the territory ly
ing south of Division street and east of
the Willamette River. It 1 estimated
that, when closely built up. It will con
tain a population of approximately
(0.000. Such a district would require
6.000.000 gallons of water every 14
hours. The estimated cost as given
by Mr. Clarke Is $929,150.
There la some difference of opinion
as to how much penalty should be ex
acted of the contractors on the Mount
Tabor reservoirs, Nos. i and J. C.
Alnsmorth said that he did not regsrd
the non-completion of fo. 4 as having
Injured the city, as the city had no
water to put Into the reservoir, had it
been completed on time: the new con
duit from Bull Run River had not been
finished and the reservoir, he felt,
would I.ave been useless until this part
of the system waa reuly for uae.
Theodore B. Wilcox expresssed him
self as feeling that the oity had been
Injured: that it was hardly within tha
province of the Mayor or member of
the Board to say that the city had not
been Injured because of tha non-completion
of the pipeline. He asked
what W. B. Mackay thought about It.
Penalty Subject Walt a.
"I think It depends upon the contract
what action we must take," replied Mr.
Mackay.
"Well. It seems to me," remarked Mr.
Wilcox, "that, after tha things these
contractors bare done to this contract,
this Board might do most anything. I
can't give a lecal opinion, but I can
Introduce th 'rule of reason' very
"nicely."
- It was finally voted to lay the sub
ject on the table for further considera
tion. Robert Wakefield & Co.. the
contracting firm, haa not submitted its
bill for extras aa yet. and Mr. Wilcox
said h would not feel like paying any
more money until the subject had been
adjusted. He did not feel that the
city should pay out Its cash on this
work and have to fall back on an in
demnifying bond, he said.
Full penalties which have run on No.
i aggregate $70,000 and on No. they
will probably reach $$0,000, as It Is
still unfinished.
Mayor Rushlight and Mr. Wilcox ex
pressed the belief that the city should
exact higher rates for water consumed
by outsiders than of residents of the
city and this was agreed to by the other
members. The rate will be fixed at
the first of the year, when the Board
fixes the 1912 schedule.
HUSBAND CALLED LOAFER
Mrs. Ktta M. Blatchley Says Attorney
Bereft ner of Wealth.
A story of Inroads on her personal
property and the use by her husband
of her relatives for the purpose of
obtaining money on notes which
eventually fell to the lot of the rela
tives to pay. Is contained In the di
vorce complaint of Etta M. Blatchley
against Albert H. Blatchley, a Port
land attorney, filed in the Circuit
Court yesterday. The) husband is
accused of being a loafer and addicted
to the use of Intoxicating liquors and is
charged with having lived to a great
extent off the money of his wife.
Mra Blatchley also asks the court
to grant an order restraining her hus
band from Interfering with her or
molesting her or her children, com
plaining that he has frequently de
clared that ho would kill her should
she start an action for divorce. Since
June 21, she says, she has lived apart
from him and, her own property hav-
t
Ins been dissipated, has been recelv-1
Ing financial support from friends and
relatives. 1
According to the complaint Mrs.
Blatchley, then a widow of a year and
the owner of considerable property in
herited from her late husband, mar
ried Blatchley, who had been divorced
from his first wife, at Hammond, Ind...
on Juno 6, 190. He represented to
her, ahe declares, that he was an able
attorney capable of earning $5000 a
year. She avers that he haa Induced
her to sell or hypothecate at various
times practically all her property and
has iiaed the monev. and In addition
has been niggardly in allowing her
money for household expenses, making
It necessary for her to apply to
wealthy relative for assistance. Bill
collectors, she declares, have been the
bane of her life.
CONVENTION BUREAU BUSY
Efforts Bering Made to Bring Three
National Meetings to City.
An effort is to be made by the con
vention bureau of the Commercial Club
to secure three more conventions for
this city within the next few years, one
In ltlS and two others In 1915. One Is
the Katlonal convention of the Ameri
can Prison Association, meeting this
year In Omaha. Commercial organisa
tions of several of the neighboring
states have promised to lend their
assistance to secure the convention for
Portland.
Similar methods will be used to per
suade the members of the American
Association of Title Men. who are now
in convention in Little Rock, Ark., to i
select Portland for 1915. This conven
tion waa held in Seattle in 1909. and it
waa not thought advisable by the con
vention bureau to request them to re
turn to the Coast next year.
The American Street and Interurban
Railway Association, meeting this year .
in Atlantic city, siso na dbcb mvnou
to come to Portland in 1913, and Mr.
Raymond is hopeful of receiving a
favorable answer.
Parker Seeks Reinstatement.
History Is repeating Itself with re
gard to the cases of "dismissed" po
licemen In this administration. Just as
when Dr. Harry Lane, as Mayor, tried
to dismiss oertain members of the de
partment and they sought reinstate
ment at every turn of tne road, so are
those whom Mayor Rushlight has "dis
charged." Yesterday Harry E. Parker,
"discharged" patrolman, filed with the
Civil Service Commission a request for
reinstatement. He was given a. hear
ing before the police committee of the
Executive Board recently on charges
of Insulting girls, and was "dis
charged." His attorney at that time
said that the committee had not given
Parker a hearing within the time
specified by the charter, and that he
believed his client had been automatic
ally reinstated.

Beri-beri! What's That?
A' recent press dispatch from Paris to the New York American quotes Thomas A. Edison as saying,
that in France:
They (the French) do not unbalance the wheat for the sake of appearance, but retain the gluten
qualities in an extraordinary way. I think that most of the indigestion in America comes from the desire
to make bread look pretty, and in bo doing, unbalancing the wheat, taking from it qualities most essential
to nutrition and health. 4
"It has been found in countries where that dreaded disease known as beri-beri flourishes (Beri-beri
is a fatal disease attacking the nerves and nerve centers) that in the process of polishing and whitening
rice, elements are taken from the food that, if allowed to remain and be fed to patients suffering from the
disease, actually cures them."
In the making of white flour, the rital elements of the hard, outer coat of thewheat are "thrown
away," because they darken the flour. Nerve starvation is a natural result.
No one can "beat" Old Mother Nature. She places in wheat and barley certain elements (Diastase,
Potash, Lime, etc.) up under the outer shell. Diastase is the element which helps to transform or digest
starch and make it useful for the body. The Potash goes to rebuild the gray matter in the- nerve cells.
In the making of
these brain- and nerve-building elements are purposely preserved, among them the valuable Phosphate
of Potash, (grown in the grain) the essential tissue salt of all gray nerve matter.
For growing children, for men and women who work with body and brain, there is no better food
than Grape-Nnta.
Grape-Nuts contains all the meat of the wheat and barley from which it is made. A dish of Grape
Nuts and cream is the cereal part of the daily morning meal of hundreds of thousands of people all over
the world.

Name Every Fault to Which
the Art of the Builder of a
Great Piano Is Liable, and
You Will Have Named Every
.Fault That Is Absent in the
a
PIANO
The Mason & Hamlin piano is a piano of today. An
instrument that in every scientific detail is in keep
ing with the trend of this age of progression. It is a
piano that IS, not a piano that HAS BEEN; not an
instrument that depends for its prestige upon the
name of a genius of a past generation, but a piano
the creator of which is recognized today as THE
LIVING CONSTRUCTIVE GENIUS OF ALL
AGES.
To the true musician, the seeker of the very best,
the most truly artistic in the piano world, be he
prejudiced or unprejudiced, be he wedded to the
glamour of an ancient name or a worshiper at the
shrine of tradition, the Mason & Hamlin Piano
proves an instant revelation, awakening new
thoughts musically, creating new desires, shattering
and scattering to the four winds the ingrown preju
dices of years and making of each investigator a con
vert and enthusiastic admirer.
Because they cost more to build and are better,
more painstakingly made, Mason & Hamlin Pianos
are higher in price than other pianos. Yet so superior
are they in tone, in action, construction and finish
that they are, in the end, the most satisfying, durable
and economical
We are showing at our warerooms, now, the most
perfect stock of Mason & Hamlin Pianos in Grands
and Uprights that has ever been seen on the Coast.
We cordially invite your inspection of them. They
may be purchased on easy payments if desired.
