Conn Court Is Asked to Arrange Work so That Viaduct .May Re main Open to Pedestrians While Being Repaired. Business men on East Burnside street between East Tenth' street and the bridge approach, as -well as Union and Grand avenues, are facing heavy finan clal loss in consequence of the closing of the Burnside bridge td all traffic during the next three months. In a single row ttt business nouses on East Burnside Btrect, between Grand avenue and Union nvenue, the loss Is estimated at $36,000 in three months. The total loss to the business houses between East Sixth street and the bridge approach is claced at above $100,000. The bust ness men are up in arms and contend that the bridge can be opened the main portion of the time to pedestrians. They have prepared the following pe tition to the County Court: To the Commissioners of Multnomah County. Gentlemen: We. the undersigned are business men doing business on East Burnsid street and adjoining streets, and ihe ctoelns: of the Burnside bridge has af fectcd our business to such an extent that IT Tvlll rost us many thousands of dollars during the course of the time that repairs are under construction. Transient Trade Wanted. We. therefore, ask you if it Is not pos sible to arrange for foot passengers to cross the bridge? This would be of material holp to us. as our business greatly depends upo the transient trade, the people passing ou doors. We realize fully the Impracticability of having the brlcse open for pedestrians a the time during the repairs, but we know a portion of the time that it can be don without prejudice to the work. We believ- you will lusue Instructions to have the bridge open as much as is practicable, and we wtl watch with great trust your efforts in our behalf.

These are a few of the "necessaries of life" that will be distributed to the prize winners In the numerous com petitive "athletic" events at the Com mercial Club's first annual "family outing" at Vancouver Barracks tomor row. All club members and members of their families are eligible to compete. and according to the gossip around the green room last night, nearly every one from "Dad" Sheldon of the Bur llngton office, down to C. C Craig, who considers himself somewhat of a gym nast is going to take a. hand or a foot in the sport. Of course, there are some depart ments In which regular club members are not eligible to compete the baby contest and the women's foot races. for Instance. But the members are all bragging about the sprinting ability of their respective or prospective wives. so a lot of fun is promised in every department. The baby contest is a delicate sub ject both from the side of the babies and from the side of the judges. A diamond ring is the first prize. Many a baby is after it. But the com mittee is "up against it" almost as badly in humoring the candidates for the judgeship of this event as they will be In keeping peace among the mothers. O. M. Hummer, he of stock yards and school board fame, fashions himself a baby expert. He made somewhat of a reputation for himself a few years ago when he guessed right at a baby show at Goldendale and ever since then he has been making a hobby out of this thing that they call eugenics. "Bill" Daugherty and C. C. Colt are shining as prospective judges, too. How they are going to keep t"9 three from making a "scene" is worrying the com mittee. - - A 25 baby carriage has been of fered by a department store and will be given to the first baby born to the wife of a Commercial Club member after the picnic. Then there is to be a story-telling contest a regular, old-fashioned, catch-as-catch-can variety. Everyone is eligible that is, everyone excepting Colonel Young of the barracks, who is termed a professional. John Burgard already has entered for the 100-yard dash and J. Fred Larson in the running high jump. The Portland people will be enter tained at the barracks by Colonel Young, and the . officers and men of the barracks. Colonel Young has promised six distinct-and separate kinds of entertaining features. A band con cert and a dress parade will De two additional forms of entertainment. To accommodate those who cannot go on the first boat which will leave the Taylor Btreet dock at 9:30 tomor row morning, the steamer Undine will make a second trip at 2 in the after noon. The Firemen's band will be out to serenade the party before it leaves In the morning. Automobilists can go to the picnic grounds direct and should enter from Seventh street, Vancouver. Lunch will be served on the grounds -army style. Commander Makes Preparation. VANCOUVER BARRACKS.- "Wash., June 26. (Special.)

Rose Laguna, who is held by the Federal authorities, in the County Jail s a witness in a white slavery case, Conversion of Idealism Into Ilealism and Living Successfully and Happily Is Declared to Be Aim of Followers. Noted Inventor Refuses Check for a Million Dollars People have been seeking happiness ever since the world began and there are almost as rrany formulas advanced for finding It as there are people," said Mrs. Ida Mansfield Wilson, of Oakland. Cal.. one of the prominent New Though; teachers, before last night's convention audience of the National New Thought Alliance at the Multnomah Assembly hall. 'One reads advice on 'How to Be Happy on $10,000' and "How to Be Happy on Nothing." "How to Be Happy Though Married and How to Be Happy Though felngle. In spite of this there axe a great many people who seek happiness in vain. The trouble Is that they seel: the external thing. They should look for that half-sister of hap piness joy, the interior thing. It can only be obtained by seeking the source the Christ within. When we have found that divinity within we have gained a mastery of our conditions, and with it the secret of power, peace and love. They all blossom from the one stem and come with a recognition of the divine selfhood, the unity with the over-soul. Harry Gaze, of Los Angeles, author and lecturer, and editor of Life and Culture spoke yesterday on "How New Thought Is Developing the Superman and the Superwoman. He said in part "We are not here in this world to be disillusioned, to be disappointed. We are here to live magnificent, successful happy lives. When I speak of the super man or the super-woman I do not mean the man or the woman who will sue ceed you. I mean you you transformed and illumined by the spirit of New Thought. New Thought is converting idealism into realism. It is the bes thought of the world at work, is pragmatic sense. "There never has been a time In th history of the world when so many have taken it up as a working basis fo life. New Thought does not deny Chris tian truths, as many seem to think It only emphasis the most lmportan ones.

She complained about the cuisine some time ago, and Tuesday announced that she would no longer partake of it. The woman has been in Jail nearly two months, pending the trial of her husband. A. Laguna, who is charged with violating the white slave act for having brought her from Salt Lake City to Baker, Or. She has frequently sent out and bought food. It Is not anticipated that the woman will carry her aversion to the Jail menu to the point where forci ble feeding is necessary. Thomas Alva Edison, the Wizard Inventor, Has Refused a Certified Check for $1,000,000 for the Right to Manufacture His New Disc Talking Machine. 'J This latest production of the wizard promises to revolutionize the vast in dustry which has grown up as the result of his invention of 1S77. He has now succeeded in making a machine so lifelike as to be almost "uncanny." The machine absolutely defies detection, if placed behind a screen or in another room away from the listener. One in all probability would be willing to sign an affidavit that it is the actual human voice sing ing or speaking. NO NEEDLES REQUIRED The machine requires no needles. Now the question arises in your mind, how is such a thing possible 7 The incitur k Ihic nrt iifpillo ic ncpil rmt in its nlace is a diamond point which Thos. A. Edison. has a smoo,n surface and, of course, lasts indefinitely. The discs from which the sound waves come are made of a new unbreakable cement that will naturally last forever. The chief charm, however, lies in the fact that the "True Tone Records" are so intensely human. MILLION DOLLARS REFUSED The million-dollar certified check tendered by Ohio capitalists was smilingly refused by Mr. Edison, though a handsome royalty was tacked on. Eilers Music House, which has been affiliated for the last twenty years with Mr. Edison's products, has been appointed distributors for this, his most won derful invention. NO ADMISSION CHARGED So that the majority of the people will have a chance to see and hear this wonderful machine, Eilers have arranged what will long be remembered as t "noon hour of music" for each day of this week. The Edison machine, of course, is the main feature of the programme. Special attractions, such as Mr. E. C. Blackwood at the Player Piano de Luxe, demonstrating the new Rythmodik Hand Played Music Roll, and Miss K. Crysler showing Edison's marvel, have been added. No admission will bo charged and a cordial invi tation is extended to all lovers of music and those interested in latest sci entific inventions to attend. The concert today will be given in the beauti fully appointed Eilers Recital Hall. Come early (doors open at 11:30 A.M.) and secure your seat, as many were turned away yesterday. We have more of the handsome souvenir catalogs and one will be given to each attending visitor. Remember the hour, 12 to 1, at Eilers Mu-?ic House, Broadway at Aider. " '
