Ed monds went from here to Portland and the police of that city have been asked to help locate him so that be may be returned here and face his mis deeds. Edmonds came here last Fall and In company with Georee Smith was in terested in a small Coos River cannery. In the transaction of the business of the cannery he carried a small check ing aceount at one of the banks and made lt a point to get well acquainted with the various merchants In the city, and in payment for small purchases gave checks. So when on Washing ton's birthday, when the banks were closed, and also Saturday, Edmonds came to town and made a round of the various stores and had a check ready in each instance with which to pay for a trifling purchase and getting the cash In exchange for the difference between the price of the article and the check. This method netted him a considerable sum and he finally ap peared at one of the places with a check purported to be drawn by Smith in his favor for which he received the cash. This has since been -pronounced a forgery. Edmonds took the Breakwater Sat urday for Portland. The holiday gave him two days l.i which to make his getaway, Sunday following it, and when it was discovered that the checks were no good Edmonds was in Portland and had made good his escape.

Delay In the putting into operation an ordinance appropriating $750 for the sanding of streets was denounced by Robert Tucker, president of the Oregon Humane Society, who appeared before, the ways and means committee of the City Council yesterday. Mr. Tucker also represented the Portland Horseowners' Association. He blamed Superintendent Donaldson, of the street cleaning department, whose attitude, he said, had been against the sanding oi the streets. Acting Mayor Baker said that he had a talk with Mr. Donaldson, and that he was sure that if the Btreet-cleaning de partment could be given a list of streets where sand was needed tne worK wouia be done. This was satisfactory to Mr. Tucker, who agreed to call up the street-sprinkling department whenever the streets are in slippery condition, designating the places where sand Is needed. It was decided to appropriate 1700 to be expended in taking care of the flow of water from Hawthorne Springs, In accordance with a .contract made with the Hawthorne estate in 1908, dur ing the Lane administration. At that time tbe city agreed to expend $1000 In taking care of the water, but for some reason only $300 was used, the balance reverting to the general runa A representative of the Hawthorne es tate asked that the contract be com pleted at this time, and on the advice of City Attorney Grant, who said that the contract was still binding on the city, it was decided to make the ap propriation, with the provision that the money shall be spent under the super vision of the City Engineer. The bill of $700, presented by Attor neys Dan J. Malarkey, W. C. Benbow and John F. Logan, for defending May or Rushlight and Chief of Police Slover against indictments for bribery a year ago, was laid on the table, action to be deferred until lt is possible to learn Mavor Rushllzht s attitude. Acting Mayor Baker explained that the Mayor knows nothing of the bill, and that he may not approve of its being paid by the city. City Attornes Grant said that there was no legal ob ligation on the part of the city to pay the bill, but that the Council may au thorize payment if it sees fit.

Temperatures are Worried by a Hacking Cough Bat Found Relief. Mrs. Charles Woods. "About two rears ago I took a severe cold that settled on mr lungs and for several months I was annoyed day and night with a dreadful dry hacking cough. I lost weight and became very much debilitated, was run down in health and worried constantly for fear I was going into consumption. After taking a number of different cough medi cines without relief, I saw Chamberlain's vougn Kemedy advertised and got s bottle of it. It had a soothing effect from the first. It loosened my cough and I steadily grew better until it disappeared altogether," writes Mrs. Charles Woods, Liverpool, K. Y. Many very remarkable cures of persis tent and annovine coughs have been effected by this remedy. PORTLAND BUSINESS DIRECTORY ACCORDION PLEATING. K.

THEODORE IT. DRAKE, Acting District Forecaster. Albany Building Now Assured. ALBANY. Or., March S. (Special.) As the result of the signing- of the public building: bill by President Taft, Albany will secure its Federal building; this year. - This - bill carried an ap propriation of an additional 110.000 for Albany's building: and as the plans for the structure have been approved here tofore bids' will be called for at once and it is expected that the work of actual construction will begin within a few weeks. The original appropria tion for Albany's Federal building-, which was made by Congress three years agro, was 165,000. A site was pur chased and cleared, but when bids were called for all were in excess of the appropriation. It has been necessary to wait, therefore, for this additional appropriation. St. Paul Is being urged to create a boule vard system to connect all its parks.
