basis has brought a new element m;o

that some members of the Council will

that East First, East Second and East

The railroad troubles which have
been before the City council ana me
street committee for months were all
f in a. frv minutes bv the
committee. the negotiations having
been developed by the committee ana
City Attorney Grant to a point where
all that was necessary was a vote to
send the measures to the Council.
The proposed East Side franchise has
been amended to eliminate East First
and East Second streets. It now pro
vides for the granting of a franchise
to the Hill lines on East Water street
from Hawthorne avenue to East Ash;
on East Oak from Union avenue to
the west end of East Oak; on East
Third street from Hawthorne avenue
to East Ash and on blocks 10. 13, 50,
63. 89. 8S, 87. 86 and 85. East Third
street Is included to meet the terms
of the settlement between the railroad
Interests for the purchase of the O.
W. R. & N. tracks there.
C. H. Carey, attorney for the Hill
lines, said yesterday that the East
Third street tracks are to be purchased
according to the valuation. When this
deal is consummated each of the three
railroad companies will own the tracks
on one of the streets. The Southern
Pacific will be on East First street,
the O.-W. R. & X. on East Second
nd the Hill lines on East Third. The
switching arrangement and charges
will be the -same for each company.
The terms will be $2.50 per car with
the company owning the tracks doing
the switching. The per diem charges
will be paid by the companies accord
ing to the method of handling the cars
after they are unloaded. Each com
pany will assume the demurrage pay
ments made by shippers.
Under the plan the Hill lines will
extend their tracks down from the
terminal yards In North Portland
across the new Steel bridge, over the
Southern Pacific and O.-W. R. & N.
common user tracks to East Second
and thence across private property to
common user tracks on East Third.
This arrangement will give the Hill
lines access to the entire East Side.
The settlement of the question be
tween t"he railroads which has made
possible the elimination of East First
and East Second streets from the gen
eral franchise' will mean that the Hill
lines will be able to invade a much
wider territory than they would had
the Harriman lines blocked negotia
tions and allowed the common user
franchise on those streets to be passed
by the Council. The proposed fran
chise covered only certain portions of
East First street, several important
warehouses being eliminates from the
arrangement. The present plan opens
the entire district to all the lines on
an equal basis.
Bridge QnrntloB I'ndeclded.
As to what the Harriman lines in
tend to do regarding the use by the
Hill lines of the east approach of the
new Steel bridge is not known. It is
considered likely, however, that they
will not oppose the proposition. The
basis for opposition, if opposition is
to be made, probably will be on the
right of the Hill lines to cross private
property owned by the Harrlman in
terests at the east approach of the
Steel bridge.
The Fourth-street franchise Is said
to be In satisfactory shape to allow
the Council to pass It. The Council
street committee has read the proposed
measure and it is expected it will be
recommended for passage by the Coun
cil as soon as it is sent back from the
executive board, which body will fix
Its valuation.
A protest from B. S. Josselyn against
the city including the tracks of the
Portland Railway. Light St Power
Company on East Water street "under
the general East Side common user
terms was placed on file by the com
mittee. Mr. Josselyn in his protest
said that his company was willing to
do switching on its tracks at the same
rates be other companies paid on
oTher tracks. For this reason there
is likelihood of East Water street be
ing eliminated from the common user
franchise if the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company negotiates
with the other companies for handling
cars on that street.
Bishop Out on Bonds.
Frank Bishop, who is under indict
ment in the Federal Court on a charge
f impersonating a United States secret
service officer, was released yesterday
n 11000 bonds and taken to Spokane

igainst Bishop Is that he cashed some

When Mrs. Mattle Duke, of Los Angeles, stepped off a train at the
Union Depot a few days ago she met her brother, L. D. White, of
20014 McMillan street, for the first time since he left his home In
Northwestern Missouri, 26 years ago. The two recognized each other
at once, inasmuch as the meeting had been prearranged and each held
a photograph of the other. Mr. White came to Portland 26 years ago
from his home and since that time he has not seen his father or

T. R. WILL
Matter of Vancouver Stop Is
Left With Visitor.
DR. C0E ENTERS PROTEST
If Vancouver Stop Is 3ade It Will
Be at 6:S0 A. 31. Train May
Go on to Salem Instead
for Brief Stop.
If Theodore Roosevelt will agroe to
be sufficiently "strenuous" to arise at
6:30 A. M. and shortly thereafter ad
dress the people of Vancouver,. Wash.,
Wednesday, September 11, the people
of the Washington city will have an
opportunity to hear the ex-President
on the day that he has set aside for
Oregon. Otherwise, the Vancouver ap
pointment will be cancelled.
This was the decision reached yes
terday at a meeting of the general com.
mittee in charge of the Roosevelt pro
gramme in this city. Following a con
ference with a committee from Van
couver, headed by George W. Staple-
on. who made an earnest appeal for a
Roosevelt visit, the committee forward.
ed the following telegram to National
Secretary Davis, of the Bull Moose par.
ty. at Chicago:
Portland and Vancouver committees
arranged for Colonel Roosevelt to
stop off at Vancouver at 6:30 A. M.
September 11 for a short outdoor
speech, leaving there by auto at 9 A .M.
for Portland."
Salem May Be Visited.
On the answer to this message de-
Dends whether or not Roosevelt will
actuajly visit Vancouver. If the ex-
Presiilent declines to rill an appoint
ment at that early morning hour, the
Vancouver appointment will te can
celled. In that event the committee
will undertake to have Roosevelt rout
ed directly through Portland to Salem.
This plan would enable him to reach
the Capital City not later man 5
o'clock, make a short address there
and return to this city in time to fol-
ow the detailed programme that will
be mapped out for him In this city. If
his arrangement does not meet wttn
he aDnroval of Roosevelt, the tentative
dates at both Vancouver and Salem will
be cancelled.
"I registered an earnest protest
against the proposed division of time
by Roosevelt with the State of Wash-
ngton. said Dr. Coe, chairman oi me
general Roosevelt reception commit
tee, yesterday. "Roosevelt Is able to
give Portland only one day on his West
ern tour, and I insist that we should
not be expected to divide this time with
Washington, which already has been
allotted two full days. If any meet-
nsrs are to be held on September 11 In
addition to those in this city, I de
manded that the time should be given
to Salem or some other accessible Ore
gon city. However, the final settle
ment of the question as to meetings at
Vancouver or Salem awaits a reply
from the telegram sent today by the
committee to the National secretary of
the Progressive party."
Dr. Coe Oppoee Step.
Dr. Coe said yesterday that the com
promise reached by the committee yes
terday with the delegation from Van
couver was. effected out of courtesy to
Dan Kellaher. "who had undertaken to
assure the people of the Washington
city that Roosevelt would stop at that
point long enougn to make an aaaress
on the same day he had set aside for
Oregon." This action on the part of
Kellaher, explained Dr. Coe, had upset
the plans of the general committee and
was operating to the serious embarass
ment of the committee in its present,
efforts to outline a programme that
would be satisfactory to Roosevelt and
his party.
The Bull Moose party yesterday
opened its headquarters in room 116,
ground floor, of the Oregon Hotel. Dr.
Coe, as National committeeman, is in
charge.
NORTHERN PACIFIC SUED
Actions for Damages, Aggregating
$50,000, Started In Clark.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 23. (Spe
cial.) The Northern Pacific Railroad
Company has recently been made de
fendant in many suits for damages, ag
gregating possibly $50,000, by owners
of land along their right of way on
the Yacoit branch. This is the echo
of the fire of 1910, when a large part
of this county was burned over by
forest fires.

pany, of this city, brought suit for
J6000, alleged to be due from the
Northern Pacific It is alleged that H.
L. Goodwin owed the Pitchless Lum
ber Company that amount, and that by
reason of the fire his property- was
destroyed, so that he has been unable
to Day his debt. He had given the
lumber company a bill of sale of the
property destroyed.
Bouton-Perkins Lumber Company
has sued the Dole Lumber Company for
J21.890, and the Northern Pacific for
11000 for destruction of property by
fire, which originated August 24, 1910,
so it is alleged. It is charged that both
companies failed to have proper spark-
arresters on their engines and donkey
engines and that fire started because
of this.
John Harteloo and wife have also
sued the Northern Pacific for $5300
dama'ge, alleged to be due to fire start,

FISH WASTE EXCESSIVE
ALASKAN'S SAID TO BE CARELESS
IX GREAT IXDUSTRY.
Ex-Governor of Idaho Compares
Conditions in Northern Country
With Ancient England.
"Millions of dollars worth of fish
are being wasted In Alaska every year
by the greed of the fishing interests,
asserted W. J, McConnell, ex-Governor
of Idaho and ex-president of the Ore
gon State Senate, who returned yes
terday from a tour of the fishing
grounds in the territory.
"Fish actually are being murdered,"
said McConnell, "and no one gets any
benefit from them. If the fishermen
think that merely because they are
plentiful they can afford to waste them,
they soon will learn to their sorrow
of their folly. It is a matter of record
that in the waters off the west coast
of England the salmon used to be so
thick that they would pile up on the
banks and die. The natives did not eat
them, they were so common. They
thought that the supply was endless
and never thought of conserving them.
It is almost impossible to find enougn
salmon in English waters now to pay
for their exploitation commercially. In
the same way we used to think that
we never could kill all the buffalo
on the American plains.
Now the time will come, and come
soon, when the Alaska salmon supply
will be depleted and the people will
wish then that they had taken legal
steps to regulate the industry.
"Immediate legislation is required to
prevent this terrible waste."
Governor McConnell predicts that
Taft will carry Idaho and that the
President will win in a good many
other states that now are claimed by
one or both the other candidates.
Through an error. Governor McCon
nell was reported yesterday as one of
the speakers at the Democratic meeting
tonight. While he would not object to
addressing the Democrats, he would In

says, as he Is and always has been a
Republican, but just now he is not tak

SUFFRAGE SPEAKER
Heilig Star Makes Graceful Re
quest for Due, Not Noisy
Demand for Privilege.
TRIBUTE PAID MR. MERRICK
Lute Pease Makes "Maiden" Speech,
D. O. Lively Admits Five Year9
Ago He Would Have Opposed,
but Knows Better Xow.
Three or four simple facts, a touch
of delicate humor and a graceful re
quest for what was due to women
rather than a noisy demand lor a privi
lege, coupled with a strong belief In
the victory of the cause, were the lead
ing features In the speech of the day
at the suffrage luncheon in the Mult
nomah Hotel yesterday under the aus
pices of the College Equal Suffrage
League.
It was Miss Cathrine Countlss. star
in the Heilig firmament and guest of
honor at the luncheon, who called forth
cheer after cheer at the conclusion of
her speech, and the enthusiasm she
started was continued right through
the luncheon. Lute Pease, D. O. Lively
and Colonel Emmett Callahan, the other
speakers, all received their full meed
of applause.
After a touching reference to the al
most personal loss felt in the death of
Postmaster Merrick, Miss Emma wold,
the president, introduced Miss Countiss,
whose rising was the signal for en
thusiasm. "When Mark Twain said that only
two things in this life were certain,
namely, death and taxes, he had counted
without woman s suffrage," was juiss
Countiss' opening remark. "I consider
that equal suffrage will come over the
entire civilized world, and the sooner
we all get civilized, the sooner we snail
get it"
Hetty Green Cited.
Her citation of the case of Hetty
Green, the woman whose advice and
money were borrowed by leading men
on Wall street, was a good example for
the cause.
"Here is a woman who is admittedly
an authority in business, whose advice
is taken and whose' money is used Dy
the most astute business men in New
York. Their judgment in acting on her
advice proves her an eminently capable
woman. Does it, then, seem rair mat.
she should have no voice in matters
relating to government, when those
men, who take her advice, have the
right to do so?"
"Even In my own profession, I have
a business side to attend to, as well as
a role to play. I have to know the
profession from the front or tne nouse,
and surelv it can only be right that I,
and others in a similar position, should
be allowed to participate in the enact
ment of regulations dealing with my
profession.
"The seeds of suffrage were sown in
this broad-gauge, beautiful West of
yours, and the harvest will be reapea
in the entire Union, so 1 Deneve.
Neighbors Have Suffrage.
Holding un a nostal cafd, on which
was shown Oregon in black surrounded
by Washington, Idaho ana California,
Dalnted in the suffrage color oi yeuow,
Miss Countiss said: "I want badly to
see that horrible black changed into
a beantiful yellow in November, l-ve,
vou know, took the first bite at the
aDDle. and there would nave Deen no
market for the lovely ujregon appies
today if It had not been for a woman
"With equal experience, 1 ao not
thlnir there Is anything we women can
not do as well as a man except hook
up our tight-fitting dresses at tne
back." added Miss Countiss. "Serious
ly though, the right to vote, in my
opinion will tend to make us better
comrades with members of the other
sex, it will make us better wives, bet
ter 'mothers, better sisters and better
daughters, and It will have a tendency
toward better homes and fewer di
vorces."
Dr. Florence Manion, chairman ot tne
financial committee, then estimated the
total amount that will have been spent
by the league up to tne election as
J1300. Of that sum but $400 had been
pledged, and she asked people to bear
in mind what had Deen accompnsnea
with so little and to help in propor
tion.
"Maiden" Speech by Pease.
Lute Pease, who was "gratified but
panic-stricken at the honor given him,"
said it was only fitting his maiden
speech should be made at a suffrage
gathering. '
To intelligent minds," he saio, "tne
thing was already practically settled.
The question was not 'When shall you
get the right to vote?' but rather
What shall you do, in NovemDer, wnen
you have got lt
It is a good- thing tnat tne women
of Oregon have had to fight for it, as
it will make them value enfranchise
ment the more, and it would be a good
thing if men had to fight for It, as they
would then have a greater interest in,
and a deeper reverence for, their duty.
'No less than 1600 men valued tneir
franchise so highly in Ohio that they
sold their franchise for a miserable two
or three dollars. No man can say wo
men would do that."
'The "old - time arguments of the
anti-suffragists came in for scathing
criticism at his hands.
Lively a Convert.
Regret that many peoplbday
were still holding to ideas that the
present century has outgrown was the
main theme of D. O. Lively, who ad
mitted that he himself would have
voted "no" five years ago, which was
before he had gone into the matter
carefully.
'Those states where women have the
right to vote have hot gone backward,"
said Mr. Lively. "Men have been turned
out of office, who deserved to be
thrown out, and who never would have
been but for the women. . You see that
better If you will analyze the speeches
of those opposed to the movement. They
can bring forward no 'horrible exam
ples' in proof of their cause, like the
temperance man, and the social re
former, simply because there are not
any bad examples to be found.''
Colonel Jimmett uauanan, the last
speaker, maintained that Intelligence,
not a high education, snouid be the
standard of voting, and he warned
those present that their greatest foes
were the vested interests, because they
know that the standard of morals
would be Improved.

MILK ADVANCE FEARED
ORMXANCE SHELVED TO PRE
VENT HIGHER PRICES.
Plans Being Considered to Provide
Against Obstruction of Streets
by Vehicles.
Fear of general advances in the
price of milk caused the health and
police committee of the City Council
yesterday to pigeonhole the proposed
ninanA nn9r1 hv thft CitV health
department requiring the milk pro
ducers to increase tne suaimaru ui
their product. The proposed ordinance
was based on the Federal dairy regula
tions, requiring exact methods of milk
ing, handling the milk, cooling, deliv
ering and handling bottles.
Health Officer Wheeler urged the
nnmmlttAA t n rermmmend the DrODOSed
ordinance to the Council for passage
on the plea tnat sucn action was necea
oo ,i. tn hottAi- milk conditions in the
city. He said the measure was not in
tended as a means of placing restric
tions about the dairymen which they
could not live up to, but was to encour
age better milk production.
Councilman Jennings said that he
believed the dairymen would immedi
ately Increase their prices if they were
required to live up to strict regula
tions and to consent to graded milk and
this opinion was concurred in by Coun
cilman Maguire. The proposed ordi
nance accordingly was placed on file.
The health department was informed
that the committee would favor rec
ommending an ordinance for passage
which provided for certified milk. This,
it was said, would be an incentive to
k.tM, mfiir sand would reauire the
dairymen to live up to reasonable regu
lations.
The committee considered plans for
an ordinance against the use of the
sidewalks in the business district for

Thinks Information Gained
Will Equalize Values.
Responding to the call for financial
support for the Pacific Northwest Land
Products Show, which is to be held in
Portland November 18-23, many busi
ness men subscribed liberally to the
show fund yesterday. Various commit
tees visited only a small portion of the
business district, but the result of the
day's canvass was so gratifying that
the show management feels that all
the money needed to conduct the enter
prise will be pledged within the next
few days. Among the contributors to
the fund was Martin Winch, a Portland
pioneer resident, who voluntarily do
nated $25.
John S. Beall. chairman of the board
of directors of the show, announced
that a systematic campaign ior iun
will be undertaken immediately. I

A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredient That Ileally Pro
mote Hnlr Growth When Prop
erly Combined.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta.
Naphthol, which is both germicidal and
antiseptic a combination is formed
which destroys the germs which rob
the hair of Its natural nourishment.
and also creates a clean, healthy con
dition of the scalp, which prevents thoj
development of new germs.
Pilocarnin. although not a coloring
matter or dye, is a well-known ingre
dient for restoring the hair to Its nat
ural color, when the loss of hair has
been caused by a disease of the scalp.
These Ingredients In proper combina
tion, with alcohol added as a stimulant
and for its well-defined nourishing
properties, perfect perhaps the most
effective remedy that Is known for
scalp and hair troubles.
We have a remedy which is cnieny
composed of these ingredients, in com
bination with other extremely Invalu
able medicinal agents. We guarantee
it to positively cure dandruff and to
grow hair, even though the scalp in
spots is bare of hair. If there is any
vitality left in the roots, it will posi
tively cure baldness, or we will refund
your money. If the scalp has a glazed,
shiny appearance, it's an indication
that baldness Is permanent, but in
other instances we believe baldness is
curable.
We want every on troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. If it does not
cure dandruff and grow hair to the
satisfaction of the user, we will with
out question or quibble return every
cent paid us for it. We print this
guarantee on every bottle. It has ef
fected a positive cure In 93 of cases
where put to a practical test.
Rexall "93 ' Hair Tonic Is entirely
unlike, and, we think in every par
ticular, better than anything else we
know of for the purpose for which It
is prescribed. We urge you to try
this preparation at our entire risk.
Certainly we know of no better guar
antee to give you.
