From no .-our re is there any opposition that Is of an organised nature. "When the two weeks' campaign Is concluded.

(rt Tocetlier to IIoot Oregon-Made Gomj-. For the promotion and advertisement of made-ln-Oregon goods, the combined efforts of the Kugene Woolen Mills, the Salem Woolen Mills, the Browns ville Woolen Mills and the four retail Brownsville stores are centered In a K ican lie movement to dispose of 15.000 yards of cloth and several thousand men's and boys' suits at almost factory cost. The Brownsville Woolen Mills Stores will manufacture some 10.000 suits this year, all of which will be disposed of right In Oregon markets. Were the entire population really familiar with the superiority of style, fit and dur ability of Brownsville clothing, this output would be doubled. It is to ac quaint them with this fart that this event has been inaugurated. All during the sale men's suits worth JI5. $18 and 120 will go for $12.50. Boys' all-wool suits worth IS.EO. $7.50, SS.50 and 110 will be on sale for 15. All-wool Oregon suitings will be on sale for $1.50 a yard. It takes three and one-half yards for a man's suit, two for a boy's and four and a half yards for a woman's suit. An augmented mall-order department has been equipped for the out-of-town people who wish to take advantage of thia sale. Free samples and self measuring blanks will be mailed to anyone writing for them. COMMONWEALTH DAY PLAN Fourth Annnal Affair Being- Ar ranged at State University. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. April 30. (Special.) The fourth an nual 'commonwealth day" meetings will be held at the University of Ore gon May 2t and 25. At this annual lathering general topics of vital pub lic and social Importance are discussed by leading men of the state. The fol lowing programme of topical subjects has been agreed upon tentatively: "Taxation and social Justice in Ors- Tesls of certain food products by the State Dairy and Food Commis sioner's office will now have to -be postponed until soother guinea pig Is procured. Testerday when Chemist Wells opened his office he found bits of fur and other evidences of a struggle. On examining the box In which a guinea pis was kept he discovered the animal In a dying condition. Sometime during the night a rat had teen attracted by the meat In the guinea pig's cage, had attempted to steal it and evidently met with some opposition. The guinea pig was purchased sev eral weeks ago to use in connection with some meat thought to have been treated with chemicals. Instead of being affected by It. the animal grew larger and stronger and came to be regarded as an office pet. SEWER BID DECLARED OFF Offer to Substitute Material for Sul livan Gulch Work Is Cause. City Attorney Grant yesterday ruled that the Executive Board legally cannot permit the changing of specifications in bids for trunks Nos. 1 and 2 of the proposed Sullivan Gulch sewer. Bids had been opened and the lowest bidder ror vltriried blocks offered to change from inverts to stone blocks for the same amount of money as for brick. The Board rejected the entire batch of bids and will seek new ones. The situation Is that Mayor Rushlight and City Engineer Hurlburt oppose brick for large sewer Inverts, and fa vor stone blocks. The Mayor oper-ly charges that brick is not fit for the use to which It would be put In large trunk conduits. He favors purchasing stone blocks and keeping the money In Oregon. Brick would have to be purchased In Seattle. That Ihe proposed franchises grant ing to the Southern I'aclflr. Company rights of way over Fourth and Jef ferson streets shsll limit the length of trains to 210 feet, shall specify the number of feet desired to be used for tracks, and shall not contain emerg ency clauses, were some of the pro visions decided by the street com mittee of the City Council yesterday. Both franchises were referred by the committee to City Attorney Grant with Imiructlons to make the changes sug geited by the committee. Mr. Grant said he would Incorporate Into the franchises the provision that the rail way company pave t!ie entire street wherever tracks are laid or to be laid. The railway company. It was said, will need 18 feet of the street for Its tracks, except at corners, where It will need more. Campbell Raises Objection. The franchise as drafted contained a common user clause applying to Jef ferson street. Several members of the committee favored application of the common user provision to all tracks laid by the company. D. W. Campbell, general superintendent of the Southern Pacific Company, remarked that the Southern Pacific will not permit any private company to use its private rignt of way. Dan Kellaher appeared before th committee and Insisted that whatever franchise Is granted, there should be a common user over the right of way. 'The Council should reKuIate this matter," he said. "If another road wishes to use the track It should not be in the power of the Southern Pa cine to make its own terms, or to hold another company up for a long time, The regulation of the common use privilege should be entirely in the hands of the Council." General Superintendent Campbell re marked that "the question of owner ship of the public levee property. the JefTerson-street dock. Is now in the iiands of the Governor of the State, and before he gets through with it he will determine our riprhta as well as the rights of the city." Magnlre Retorts Heatedly. "But it is not for the Southern Pa clflc to come In here and say, 'We will accept this or that" biased out Coun cllman Magulre. "They will accept what they can get before we get through with them." The committee left the common user Question for City Attorney Grant to report upon. A property owner urged that no gasoline motors be permitted on Fourth street, but the committee took no action on this. The franchises run for 25 years, with the exception of the proposed Fourth street franchise which has clauses making It subject to the decision of the United States Supreme Court In the present Fourth-street controversy These clauses provide that the com pany shall have a 25-year franchise for two tracks if the suit is decided against the company, and that in case the suit is decided In favor of the com pany It shall have a perpetual fran chlse for one track.

Indicaiions Are Senate Also Will Crge Government Toward Colunv bin River Improvement. Teleitrams from Washington to Frank B. -Riley, chairman of the Joint committee for the Columbia Bridge. In dicate that Federal aid may be plven the project. Salcon Joslyn, vice-president oi the Pacifio Hluhway Commission for Alaska, went to Waahlnnton recently to urge before a sub-commtttee of the House of Representatives Government upport for the construction of two great bridges on the Pacific Highway, one the Columbia Bridge and the other over the Colorado River at Yuma. He reported to Mr. Riley that the com mittee was favorable, especially toward the Columbia project. The sub-committee reported back to he House, favoring unanimously the Underwood resolution, providing for a Federal commission to recommend the construction of military post roads and bridges. Indications are that the measure will receive favorable action, both in the House and Senate, and in hat case it Is practically assured that the Government will assist in the con traction of the bridge at ancouver. The Government has shown that it regards the Pacific Highway as a Na tional road." said Sir. Riley, "and Mr. Joslyn's announcement and the favor able attitude toward the Underwood resolution are good signs of Federal aid. Ralph Modjeski. the bridge engineer under whom the preliminary survey is being made, said in conference with the committee last week that ne- Be lieved It would be a wise thing to ap ply at least for Federal aid, and said he believed there were excellent chances of receiving favorable consideration.

Ass am i: That Made Milwaukee fomoasf , Charging that the board of directors of the Mllwaukle school district has disregarded the expressed sentiment and desires of the taxpayers, as shown at the recent meeting, by securing a two-acre site for the proposed Central High School building, in Sellwood Ad dition, at the south side, and not east of the Eouthorn Pacific Railway, in the Mlnthorn section, as requested, the tax payers have filed a protest against the new site. It Is declared the site is out of the way and wholly unsuited. The board is charged with holding a star chamber session and railroading the deal for the two-acre site in the Sell wood Addition without giving taxpay ers an opportunity to be heard. When it became known that the board contemplated securing a site in the bellwood Addition, an indignation raeet- ng was held in the schoolhouse Thurs day night and a protest, signed by 160 property-owners, was prepared. The directors also held a meeting in an other part of the building, and when the protest was presented the directors nformed the protestors that they were oo late, as the site in the Sellwood Ad- itlon had already been secured. An other Indignation meeting has been called and a more vigorous protest will be made against the site selected. ready," said Mr. McPherson. "Ii started with the annual conclave of Shrlners at Los Angeles. Although this meeting will not open until next week, many Phriners have started their trips. Fully 90 per cent of them will travel through Portland either on the going or the returning Journey. We have arranged to handle 30 specials. In addition to regular trains. 'The next great attraction on the Coast will be the convention of the National Eelectric Light Association, at Seattle, the week of June 10. We will have at least four special trains for this event. Many of. the delegates will come to Portland for the Rose Festival the same week. "The National Elks' convention In Portland in July Is the biggest thing from a passenger standpoint ever at tempted In the Northwest. I should like to be here that week, but It will require a full force in our gcneraF of fices to direct the special train service." Mr. McPherson says the territory tributary to the Canadian Pacific has recruited many colonists from various points in Kurope this year. Most of them came from Great Britain, he says. The Middle Western and Eastern United States sent many farmers into Canada. Elevator Hits Abraham Selling. Abraham I. Selling sustained severe facial wounds Monday evening, when he was struck by a descending elevator at the Pacific Paper Co.'s place of busi ness. Fourth and Ankeny streets, where lie is employed as a clerk. While an examination showed that no bones were broken, the wounds were ugly ones. His entire face was disfigured. It appears that he stood too close to the elevator shaft, and that the descending elevator grazed his face. He was taken to the Good S'amaritan Hospital. RAIL MEN ARE IN PORTLAND PERSONAL MENTION. F.
