New Prlaea Offered. In addition to the J600 already ap propriated for prlxes for the best dec orated buildings In the business dis trict, the commission has offered an aggregate of ISO for the best dec orated store windows during the re union period.

FRANCHISE GOES BACK XOKTI1WESTERX ELECTRIC MEASURE IS AMENDED. City Attorney Grant Sugg?sts Addi tional Protective Clauses to Fore fttal! Any Consolidation. City Attorney Grant yesterday filed with the City Auditor an opinion on the proposed franchise ior the North western Electric Company, a corpor ation which Intends to do business in Portland on a lar;e scale. The con sideration of the proposition will now sro forward In the routine manner. The street committee members prebably will take up the discussion at their next meeting;. Mr. Grant made only a few changes In the original draft of the franchise. He put In a section aimed to forestall any consolidation of this company's Interests with another company and In corporated other minor features. The opinion Is as follows: I hsv amended sect loo 1 so that the company will be required to place all of It wlrta under ground within the district Dow atabliahed by ordinance, and reserved thm ri-ht Co the Council hereafter lo re quire tbe further piscina of wires under ground. 1 bave further reserved, to the Council the Jht reasonably to regulate the rate ana charge which the company may char-re or collect durtntj the life of the franchise. I have added a section which, in 'my opinion, will prohibit the company from mentlna with any other com pany in a similar business without the consent of th Council. 1 hare also added another section, which. In my opinion, guarantees practical com mercial methods ta the furnlsalac of service bv tbis oompany. t bave a)o chanced sec tion 14. which. In th erle-lnal franchise, exempted said rompany from any license or taxes other than tbe f ranch ise valuation tax. Th company should be required to j pay In addition to this franchise valuation tax sura uther taxes or iiosnses as may hereafter be legally made. I have also amend 4 section 4 by pro viding that before any general work la done br this company in the city It shall be required to ftle complete plans tn u"h form and detail as the Kxecutlve Hoard may reqnlre. This I done In order that there may be uniform placing of poles and that the city may protect the stree:s from being blockaded or torn up. and to have, at least, general up?rvimlon of the work that ts be in done. I have amended section 7 to provide that the bond shall be In the nm of SlOS.OOt Instead of S0.es, and that said bond shall nt bs resleeed until fJOSOO Instead of :iu. have been expended within the City of Portland. I have also added another section, deslg nstd as section 1. in which I have In corpora ted the suggeitlon of the Mayor that there should be a common-user of poles within the city. In addition to the Mayor's sturgeeaVa I have provided that there should be a common-user of conduits that are now constructed In the elty. My rea son for this Is that In order to construct another conduit It will necessitate the tear ing op of our business streets at great In convenience to the property owners. Wheth er such common-user Is practicable I am not at this time prepared to say. but I merely advance the Idea and no doubt the Council will receive plenty of Information. bMh from this company and the Portland Railway. Light t Power Company on this subject. It csn then be determined whether or not my suggestions are practicable and whether the susgcstion of the Msvor as to common-user of poles Is practicable. Th ii common-user, of course, can only be applied to the conduits Or poles of companies fur nishing light, heat or power. It would not be practicable to apply It tor the con duits or poles of telephone companies. I have slso provided that the company give the rlgllt to the city to use the top gain of all poles for the fire, police and water departments In connection with the telephone sod telegraph systems. X have also provided that these poles shall be set as near as possible to lot lines, snd I have reserved the right to the Council reasonably to regulate tho extension of the service. ATTACKED BY AN ENEMY WITHIN ACTOR HAS DAY IN COURT Damaging Testimony Introduced ,galn.-t Comedian snd Friends. Testimony In the Municipal Court yesterday aralnst Edward Barnard, a comedian, and Sadie Wilson tended to show that while Barnard and a part ner. Max Fukelman. occupied a house in the fashionable residence district of Irvlnston, the Wilson woman and an other woman named Rosie Sax occu pied a "crib" In the North End district and lived with Barnard and Fukelman.

There is no worse danger when the kidneys are weak than the big family of "uric acid troubles." and so, when you notice, that the kidney secretions have been much disordered for a time, do not be jmrprised if you begin to have rheumatic muscles and Joints, nerve pains and nervousness, headaches and dizziness, heart weakness and dropsy, attacks of stone and gravel, deafness and poor eyesight. The filtering of uric acid from the system falls upon the kidneys and if the kidneys are Inactive, uric acid overloads the blood. Instead of nour ishing the tissues, the blood starves and Irritates them. ' Vrlc acid has tbe habit of attacking the weakest part first. A brain work er will bave nerve trouble or rheu matism. A strong, healthy-appearing person will be liable to gravel, or stone, heart trouble, dropsy, or gout. Acute uric acid attacks with awful pains often follow exposure, wet weather, overuse of alcohol, overwork, overexercise or excesses of any sort.

Eastern Man Says "God Made This Western Country for live, Active Men and Women." Praise of the West and predictions of prosperity for the Pacific Slope were made by A W. Green, president of the National Biscuit Company of New Tork, who was In Portland yesterday, with his family, on a pleasure trip, urlng which he passed several weeks in Cali fornia. 'Since arriving on the Pacific Coast I have been told that I am the. head of the Biscuit Trut.t of the East, and came out here to absorb all that waa left of the biscuit business in this part of the country." said Mr. Green. "As a mat ter of fact, there are over 00 corpora tions In the United States making simi lar products to that of the company of which I am president, so where the trust comes In I cannot see. It is like any other business In the country that desires to expand and be successful. The best brain and material must be utilized with some executive ability, and It is not a case of crushing your op ponent or competitor to the wall through underhand or Illegitimate methods, but a survival of the fittest. "Many lines of business are said to be controlled by trusts, when the su periority of its product Is what makes Its business. It not only must be good, but distinctive. The distinctive mark, 'Inner Seal,' of our products haa a his tory that dates back' 400 years, and was discovered on some porcelain that was excavated at Venice about the time I visited there, and attracted my attention so seriously as to Its oddity that I chose It as a mark for the product of my company. "From nfy personal observation and what I can learn from my associates, the Pacific Coast Is In a much better financial condition than the Middle West, and you are going to have grand crops this year. The Presidential year is alleged to be having a bad effect on business In the East, but that had little to do with It. for If conditions were as good there as here the coming Fall election would not be spoken of in con nection with business. Crops, not poli tics. are what regulate this country, and as long as the crops are good poli tics ean take care of Itself, be It Re publican, Democrat or any other real party, unless the Isms are too strong. "One thing particularly noticeable on the Pacific Coast is the much higher class of European immigrants that you receive than remain on the Atlantic Coast. It Is to be hoped that the build ing of the Panama Canal will not bring any different class, because many that we retain In the East would not assist your growth, but become a burden. "God made this Western country, for live, active men and women to develop, and it is In their hands now, so far with good results, and, with the same people continuing In charge. It is a safe bet that it is going to continue to prosper in a way that Imagination can hardly suggest." EARLIER MAIL TRAIN ASKED Portland Business Men Request O. W. R. & N. to Clip Schedule. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has asked President Farrell, of the O. W. R. & N. Company, to take steps to cut down the running time on the westbound fast mail No. 9 by one hour, so as to make It possible for mail com ing on this route to be distributed on the first carrier delivery in the morn ing. President Farrell has been asked to Inform the chamber how soon such change can be expected. This request was In the form of a letter Bent by. Secretary E. C. Giltner at the request of a number of Portland b'usiness men. President Farrell's reply Is expected today or tomorrow and will be present ed at the next regular -meeting of the board of trustees of the chamber, June 2, for consideration. Postmaster Merrick says that, In or der to be of any benefit, the change must be such as will bring the mail into Portland before 6 o'clock. Instead of at 7, as is now the case. J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and general manager." says that the company is willing to make, an effort to comply with the requests' of the Portland busi ness men and Is ready to bring the train into Portland by 8:30 Instead of 7. is proceeding rapidly.

Discuss With Your Friends The question of strength in different foods and make some personal tests. Some persons believe that to become strong they must eat meat. ' Dietetic science and practical athletic trainers Lave discovered the error of this old theory. A strong body and powerful mind are more surely and permanently gained from the use of cereal food. 'Grape-Nuts made of whole wheat and barley, contains the ele ments that go to build up brain and body cells including the Phosphate of Potash (grown in the grains) which Nature requires for perfect cell nour ishment. Ever try omitting chops or steak for breakfast and replace them with Grape-Nuts and cream eaten slowly? "There's a Reason It's a common joke to say "He eats so much it makes him poor to carry It around." when speaking of some thin, scrawny fellow who eats as much as a horse, but It is frequently true if the. food Is not the kind the body calls for. A German rroman of Chicago gives an Instance In her own family. It's briefly told but the. truth is there: "My husband lost his left hand in an acci dent and lost a large amount of blood.' He kept getting weaker for five months and finally got a severe cough. He would eat big meals of meat and potatoes to get well but djdn't get- any good from them.
