MOCK BOI ISSUE DELIYED
Report of Kipert Engineers Will Xot
Arrive I'ntll March.
Members cf the Commission of
Pnhllr Docks agreed yesterday on a
further continuance of tha Issuance of
1500 004 of bonds with which to carry
Inn work during 191 J. as the New York
engineers constituting tha board or
consultation wrote that their report
would not be ready until early In
March. It waa expected that their ftrvd
Ings would be marie known to the
Commission about February 10. but It
waa said delay In tha receipt of spe
cial data necessitated more time belna;
devoted to the atatement.
Henry Teal, a bond broker, suggested
lo the Commission that bonds bo Is
ued In denomination of 11000 rather
than of 5t0. saying that he did not
think they could be sold In Portland on
a popular subscription plan and that
bond buyers objected to small denomi
nations, tie also suggested that tha
legality of the bonds be passed on In
advance of their belna off-red for sale,
so that unqualified blda could be de
manded and time saved. It was voted
to ask bids from expert accountants
on the work of opening; a set of book a.
Enftineer Kearardt submitted his re
port for January showing surveys com
pleted and other work begun. J. Frank
Watson, acting aa truil-e. offered the
Commission 1 acres of land, located
on the west side, between Swan Island
and the St. Johna bride;, to be used
for public docks, at fJOfts an acre.
Xannetd. Veysey Co. offered ISO feet
of water frontage at tha foot of Wash
ington street, lylnc north of tha altp.
for 1100.000 and both propositions were
Bled.
Secretary fSlltner ws asked ta ascer
tain from City Attorney Orant as to
when a tender of money should be
made when condemnation proceeding-
ara brun. Bids are also to ba asked
on printing ordinances and other or
ganisation papers In pamphlet form for
the benefit of bond buyers.

cided yesterday that all colors used In

with tha American Flag.
Owners of various business buildings

As It will require much time to ar

sary to present a proper setting for

FUND SUCCESS MARKED
FIRST DATS SUBSCRIPTIOVS
FOR WILLAMETTE BIG.
Dally Meetings or Committee Will
. Be Held and Bn sines for Next
34 Honrs Outlined.
Subscriptions aggregating several
thousands of dollars for the Willamette
I'niverslty endowment fund marked tha
first day's work yesterday of the new
campaign committee appointed Monday
evening. Tho exeoutlve committee of
ths campaign committee met at noon
at tha Commercial Club, and tha re
ports brought la at that time wers most
encouraging.
Hereafter tha axecutlva committee
will meat dally at noon, when tha
progress of tha campaign will ba dis
cussed, progress reported, plans made
for the ensuing 14 hours and new mem
bers sppolnted to the general campaign
committee.
"The plan Is one that has been tried
In similar campaigns many times,"
said Dr. Hancher last night, "and no
better way of organising to reach a
large number personally In a short time
was ever devlaed.
"The executive committee has power
to enlarge Itself by ths appointment
of new members and to enlarge tha
general committee by adding new mem
bers. "Two main objects sre sought by this
plan of organization: To provide a
large body of workers who will take
up tha task of personally approaching
and reasoning with all who should ba
asked to aid in raising the endowment
fund, and to create a central authority
over this working body that will direct
Its activities and plan Its work.
'X'nder such a plan It has been found
that the enthusiasm Is not only sus
tained to the end. but that It actually
Increases with the progress of the cam
paign. Every contributor becomes a
working; member of the, main commit
tee." Dr. Hancher has entirely recovered
from his slight Indisposition, and is
again In the harness with redoubled
energy. He. with Dr. Homan and Dr.
Todd, are acting ex-officlo with the
executive committee, and It is on the
basis of the work already done by them
that the work of the general campaign
committee Is planned.
Tha Imperial Hotel has been made
campaign headquarters. Manager Philip
Metschan Is a Willamette graduate, a
Willamette booster, a member of the
campaign committee and an enthusias
tic believer In his alma mater, and the
hotel will probably be the scene of
much work for the endowment fund
during the remainder of the campaign.
Dr. Nicholson will leave Portland
for the East this evening, his duties
calling him away. He believes that
the campaign has been successfully
launched and that It will be brought
to a satisfactory conclusion.
SCHOOL GARDENS LIKED
S5 PORTLAVD PRIXCIP,US IN
FAVOR OF SYSTEM.
Superintendent Rlgler OpHes Of
fering of Prizes Teachers DIs
cua Plan at V. M. C. A.
Principles of 35 of Portland's public
schools. Including its three hlKh
schools, pledged their support to the
school garden movement at a dinner
last night in the Young Men's Christian
Association building. Representatives
of each school district referred to va
rious circumstance which were favor
able or unfavorable to the laying out
of gardens, but all were enthusiastic
In doing all that was possible to make
the gardena In their respective dis
tricts successes. Some teachers re
ported that soil conditions were not
favorable for gardens; others that
there were no vacarjt tracts that could
be obtained. Othera said careful In
struction and supervision would ba
necessary to bring the movement to a
successful issue.
Secretary Stone, of the T. M. C. A.,
was called upon to give the results of
the garden experiments of the Y. M.
C. A., to show what might be accom
plished. Mr. Stone said that under
the auspices of the Association 100 gar
dens had been put in, many of the best
gardens being those planted In the
backyards of one of the most thickly
settled residence districts.
Superintendent Kigler said thera was
a great opportunity to do good for the
young people of Portland and the state
in arousing an interest in gardening.
He said ha was not in favor of adding
agriculture to ths course of study in
the public schools. Mr. Rlgler also dis
approved the plan to offer prizes for
tho best products grown In school gar
dens. Superintendent Grout expressed him
self In favor of the movement. Presi
dent Kerr, of the Oregon Agricultural
College, pledged tho support of that in
stitution by distributing bulletins
among tho principals, teachers and pu
pils of the public schools. He said the
garden project was not alone to induce
people to return to the farm, but to
keep those on the farm who are there
now.

Oovernor West.
"We announced early that there would

Mothers
No young woman in the joy of
coming motherhood, Bhould neglect
to prepare her system for the physi
cal ordeal she ia to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during
j the waiting months. Mother's
friend prepares the expectant
mother's system for the coming
event, and its use makes her com
fortable during all the term. It
works with and for nature, and by
gradually expanding all tissues,
muscles and tendons, involved, and
keeping the breasts in good condi
tion, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect
and strong where the mother has
thus prepared herself jfor nature's
supreme function. No better ad
vice could be given a young ex
pectant mother than that she use

Pardoned by Governor West a few
months ago. on condition that he go
to St. Louis to live with a brother who
had forwarded htm transportation,
Jesse Merrltt, a derelict, appeared at
the City Jail Monday, very drunk.
He had been arrested by Patrolman
Carr while wandering around the vi
cinity of Front and Madison streets.
Merrltt was once a working man and
reared a family of children, but in re
cent years he has been a periodic visi
tor to the jail. His wife was attacked
by tuberculosis and was sent to the
County Poor Farm to die, while Merritt,
having exhausted the patience of the
police and court, was given a maximum
sentence at the rockplle.
In company with two desperate crim
inals, Merrltt broke from the stockade
and hid In the brush for two weeks.
He was captured when he attempted
to force his way to the bedside of his
dying wife. Later the police gave him
the Interview with his wife and then
sent him back to serve out his term.
The pathetic feature of the case aroused
sympathy, and when a brother at St.
Louis offered Merrltt a home, the Gov
ernor granted him a pardon.
