Relatives Attend Pair. The drawing-room of the hospitable Itushllght home in Karl street, where the service took place, was artistically deoorated in yellow Spring flowers in terspersed with Oregon grape and car nations arranged in tall vases and graceful French baskets. The couple nj their attendants stood In the cen ter of the room under a canopy effect of yellow tulle. The bride, who Is a handsome . brunette.

In the library and the reception halls the decorations were In pink and green, which harmonized effectively with the soft brown tints of the walls and fur nishings. Masses of cut flowers were banked- with the greenery in the hall, while In the library potted plants were used and pink tulle bows added to the beautiy of the decoration. Although but few friends had been advised of the wedding plans, a number of handsome presents arrived early in the morning and many more poured In, together with telegrams of congratula tions and quantities of choice flowers, until the Mayor's residence became a perfect floral bower.

BRIDGE PLANS BROAD Provisions of Bills Consider State's Future Growth. PROJECT IS DISCUSSED Frank B. ltiley, Chairman or Ore gon Committee Shows In Detail How Funds for Construction of Span May Be Secured. - The plan adopted by the Oregon members of the interstate bridge com mittee tor raising tne funds for the construction of the proposed bridge across the Columbia River not only makes It possible for the funds for this bridge to be secured effectively, but makes a lasting provision whereby boundary counties may all profit by it in future, as the growth of the state's population increases the demand for means of ready intercommunication with adjacent territory of neighbor states. Frank B. Riley, chairman of the in terstate bridge committee pointed this out in a review of the plan Saturday. "The two bills offered by the Inter state bridge committee and Introduced In the House by Mr. Nolta and Mr. fgren respectively." he said, "are In no sense local measures designed for the benefit ot Multnomah County alone in the proposed construction of the great highway bridge to span the Co lumbia at Portland and Vancouver. Bonding Act Prspoaed. "One of the bills Is a county bonding act, simple, workable and effective. In tt the definition of road is properly made to include a bridge, bridge ap proach or viaduct. The act authorizes counties to issue bonds for the. con struction of reads, provides for the pe tition for an election to determine whether or not the county, shall Issue such bonds for road construction; pro vides by what vote the bonds are to be approved; the manner of election; the form of petition; and the form 01 elec tion notice and of ballot. "The act apecifies the County Court as a bonding committee to Issue the bonds, sets out the form of bonds and manner in which they are to be sold, and directs that proceeds of bonds sold under this act shall be paid into the County Treasury and shall go into a sr jcial road fund to be distributed for the special purpose for which the bond! were Issued; and the act, of course, provides for the levy of the taxes ty the County Court. "That part of the bill which espe cially relates to the construction of any interstate bridge in Oregon provides, in substance, that when the bridge Is con structed to and over the boundary line rf th state the county issuing the bonds for the construction thereof snail be entitled to deduct from the amount of taxe-j that such county Is required by law annually to collect and pay over to the state, under sections 3643, 3644. 3645 and 3646 of Lord s Oregon Laws, the amount of the. annua Interest s cruing upon such bonds each year thereafter during the life of tuch bonds. State Aaslatanee .la Aim. ( "In other words. It is believed that any county which builds a bridge across a boundary, which bridge is of course of much greater state-wide and inter state Importance than any merely local or inter-county bridge can be. shall be assisted by the state to the extent of the amount of the Interest charge on the bonds. This Is In recognition b the state of the uncommon and stra tegic Importance of such a bridge to the state as a whole. We believe that tne constitutional authority of the state to do this is clear by virtue, of an amendment to section 7 of article 11 of the constitution, enacted by the peo ple through the initiative In the last election.; The Legislative Assembly may now create this liability to pay an amount equal to the interest charge on the bonds, the same being in the nature of a debt to build and maintain permanent roads, a bridge being comprehended, by House bill No. 296 within the classifica tion of permanent roads. The only limi tation of section 11 as now amended as it pertains to roads is that any debt or liability created shall not singly or In the aggregate with previous debts in curred for that purpose exceed 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of all the property of the state. The assessed valuation of the state Is sufficiently large that there is ample room for the small bridge appropriation contemplat ed in addition to any amount for which the state is likely to appropriate ior the construction of state trunk roads or to aid counties in the construction of highways. ' V . Authority to Be Given. "The bed of a boundary stream being, to the state boundary line, the property of the state, the bill will definitely carry the authority of the-state of the county to build across the state ter ritory. We shall also want to amend the bill to provide that the question of the bond issue may be submitted at any general election, as -well as at a so- called - 'local option' election provided for in sections 4920, 4922. 4923, 4924, 4925. 4926. 4927. 4928. 4929 Lord's Ore gon laws, and it Is deemed . advisable for the more ready marketing of the bonds to amend further to provide that the installments of principal and inter est on the bonds may be paid at any fiscal agency of the State of Oregon, in the City of New York. - "The second bill provides' that when ever, under the provisions of the first bill, or of any other of this state, a bridge is constructed across a boundary by the two states Interested, the Gov ernor of this Btate shall be an e'x-of-ficio member and chairman of any board of commissioners or any official body empowered under' the law of this state to construct, maintain and operate such bridge on behalf of the State ef Oregon or .of any county or district therein. . ; "The Interstate bridge features of this proposed legislation. It will be seen, are applicable to 11 other border coun ties of Oregon, as well as Multnomah.! "It is believed that with these en abling acts carrying the co-operation and assistance of the state to the extent above indicated Multnomah County will in the Spring authorize by an over whelming vote the issuance of bonds to the approximate amount of 31,500.000 for that part of the great structure be longing to the Oregon side." Jones Renamed Game Warden. CENTRALIA. Wash.. Feb. 2. (Spe cial.) John T. Jones, of Centralis, has been reappointed Lewis County Game Warden by the new Board of County Commissioners. According to figures just complied the Game Wardens cost Lewis County 32400 in 1912. SPACE -IS' UNITED Defeat of Bonds Leaves City Schools Congested. BOARD IS FACING PROBLEM Maintenance of Present Buildings and Additions Provided for in Levy Grammar' Schools Are ' ' Sufficient for Pupils. While the funds provided by the reg ular levy win be sufficient for the maintenance - of existing ' schools In Portland and for the extensions that are absolutely necessary, the defeat of the" school bond issue in the Saturday election leaves the School Board facing a condition of congestion,, in tne high schools, especially. . - The bond issue can be brought to a vote again by petition of ten of the taxpayers, but the expressions of the members of the Board last night indi cate that .they will accept the verdict of the voters as rendered Saturday and will themselves endeavor to get along as best they can with the funds avail able, and will take no steps to bring about a reconsideration. Additions to Be Made. In the grammar-schools the condi tions are not so serious as in the high schools and the trades school. In the trades school building there were at first several of the primary . grammar school grades, but with the growth of the attendance in. the trades school these were crowded out and the entire building was demanded by the indus trial work. Certain additions that are imperative will be made this year and were arranged for in the general levy, but the phenomenal Increase in attend, ance in the trades courses is expected soon to eat up all of the available SPTnee moUA Washington High are more serious than ta " ft other high schools of the city. The o id building was filled and the overflow wenf fnto an adiolning bunding. Even the cafeteria was taken out of tne DuHdlng to make more c'srm08P"f; Prlmar? grades were "eV.wth0e porary quarters from the Hawthorne School to add still further to the room space demanded and It Is now Probab'e that similar steps will have to be taken In the Stevenson School.

GRANT SUGGESTS CHANGES Efficiency and Economy Object of City Attorney's Recommendations. mnrnr the recommendations made i ntv Attorney Grant in his report for 1912 Just rendered to Mayor Rush light and the Executive Board, Is that there be an information bureau estab lished on the main floor of the City Hall, and that some persons having an intimate knowledge of the various de partments of the city government and their luncuons oe ptatieu ui luhibo. 'Many cities nave sucn a oureau, he says, "and it Is astonishing how easily one may get the information desired by a simple Inquiry at . the desk." A commission to formulate a plan for co-operation of the various de partments is also suggested along lines similar to a large private corporation. It is contended that money can be saved and a more efficient government be given. It Is also recommended that an amendment be submitted at the next election providing that no appeal shall lie from the Municipal Court unless the fine exceeds 350 or the jail sentence is more than, five days. EVANS HAS NEW SYSTEM Accused Persons WW Be Invited to Testify Before Grand Jury. In order to reduce to a minimum the number of indictments which may be defended successfully and to eliminate as far as possible the returning of un necessary indictments. District Attor ney Evans has adopted a system of in viting defendants against whom accu sation is brought to testify before the grand jury In their own behalf. When the person accused Is already under arrest or is considered not likely to run away, he is sent a printed slip on wjiich it is stated that the grand Jury has a matter touching him under investigation, and that he may appear in his own behalf if he wishes. The printed .slip contains a warning that the defendant is not required to appear unless he wishes. The reason for this is that an indictment is worth less In law if a defendant is forced to give testimony before a grand Jury. Butter Brings Farmers $40,000. CENTRALIA, Wash.. Feb. 2. (Spe cial.) The Winlock Co-Operative Creamery Company set a record in 1912, manufacturing 120.000 pounds of butter, from the sale of which the farmers of the vicinity of Winlock realized $40,000. THANKFUL HE WAS NOT A WOMAN The late. Lawson Tait, of England, the great woman's doctor, said he never went to bed at night without thanking heaven he was not born a woman. No doctor ever knew better than he what women have to suffer at some times of their lives. It was an American woman long since passed to her reward who Cntroduced a simple combination of roots and herbs called Lydla B. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, that haa proved wonderfully successful in miti gating suffering and curing diseases of women. It has brought unspeakable, relief to thousands of women who suf fered from female ills. 60 per cent of a man is water! That's what the scientists tell us, about the human body. That is one reason why good liquid nourishment is so quickly turned into good blood, bone and muscle. That is one reason why you get real strength and working power from Campbell's Tomato Soup. Every material used in it is nourish ing and satisfying. Every spoon-full is just so much wholesome food-value added to the body. And there is no more tasty and appetizing soup made. Don't stint yourself on any thing so good. Order it by the dozen. 21 lands 10c a can Lock for the red-and-white label "WW tiir. IbsI Flin ,Hir -i?"
