$388,000 Available for .

LAST MEETING IS HELD

, ommended Keport Is to Bo
Ready Thursday.
At its final meeting for the consid
eration of the 1914 county budget, the
advisory committee last night de
termined on .7 mill as the road levy
for next year. This levy would raise
$238,000, estimating on a J340.000.000
valuation. W ith a balance on hand
January 1. 1914, of 1130.000, and $20,000
which the county will receive as its
ehare of the automobile licenses, the
total new road fund for 1914 would be
lirought to $388,000. In addition to this
there Is a balance of about $70,000 or
$75,000 already set aside for the Co
Jumbia River Highway.
The advisory road committee, at a
meeting1 held last week with the
County Commissioners, adopted reso
lutions calling on the Commissioners
to make the road levy 1.2. A levy of
this size would raise $408,000 from tax
ation, which, with the $220,000 now
available, would have raised the total
1914 road fund to $608,000, more than
the budget committee thought was
needed.

tee thinks is all that can be profitably

Two new features are embodied In
this estimate. One Is the new road
patrol, for which $5000 has been pro
vided. This feature, it is believed, will
more than save itself in the matter of
timely repairs, especially when road
way has been damaged by hard rains
and washouts. It is believed, too, that
a systematlo patrol will enable the
road forces to make repairs before the
damages to the roads have become so
serious as to necessitate general re
construction. Contract Plan Feature.
Another new feature is the plan to
fio all the new road construction on
the contract plan, according to a fixed
standard. This is provided for by a
law passed at the Legislature last Win
ter. The only other change made in the
budget as previously fixed by the com
mittee Is in the Janitor service at the
Courthouse. A new schedule of wages,
providing for the expenditure of $20,
2G0 for the care of the building was
passed. The new schedule follows:
Superintendent s 1 020
Head janitor 'eoo
Assistant janitors, 18...., 14 040
NlKht watchman 'it60
Telephone girls, 2 1,500
Contingency 780
Total $20,280
Final determination of all recommen
dations have been made, and the com
mittee will hold a meeting later this
week to sign the report and the budget
when they are put in the form in which
they wil be presented to the Commis
sioner. The committee said last night
that the final report would be . ready
for the Commissioners by Thursday
morning.
New Bills Open at the
Vaudeville Houses
Lyric.
AN AFTERNOON or evening spent
at the Lyrlo this week is time
quickly passed, for the turn of the bill
serves up another of the whirlwind
comedies for which the musical stock
liouse is famed.
There is' an addition to the family
this week in Lllyan Mason whose char
acterization made a big hit yesterday.
In the week's play she i3 an impostor
In the colored lady who claims a mar
riage with Captain George Medway,
the man around whom the plot
thickens.
Captain Medway is supposed to have
perished In a ship wreck. However,
lie is not wrecked, but is taken to a
hospital where Cleopatra, the colored
mammy, la a nurse.
Some one gets her to believe that
she is married to the captain and she
follows him on his return to the heart
broken wife, portrayed by that very
Interesting Miss Dorothy Kaymond.
However, Cleopatra is convinced of her
!rror and. agrees to return to Honolulu
In company with Carraway Bones,
played by Gus Leonard, who is, of
course, a Bcream, as usual.
The offering makes a place for sev
eral new songs in which the chorus
takes a lea-dins part in some brand
new costumes. Madge Carreg and
Dorothy Raymond are given a chance
to entertain the well-fllled houses with
a.- well-sung song apiece.
This bill lasts all week and tonight
und Friday night the Rosebuds of the
chorus will have a time all their own
at the end of each performance.
Orphenm.
MARIE M'FARLAND, billed as the
American Melba, and verifying it,
John Hazzard, monologist, and Billy
Gould with Belle Ashlyn, are the three
biggest numbers on the new Orpheum
bill. According to Martin Beck, Mr.
Gould and Miss Ashlyn are the top
liners, but they divide popularity with
the two other offerings. Mr. Gould is
the nimble-toed dancer who comes an
. nually with new songs and stories.
Miss Ashlyn Is the hit In the act, her
"Imitations," and clever bits of "busi
ness" are apparently spontaneous. Her
gowns are extremely smart. Miss Mc
Karland has a glorious voice, clear and
flute-like. She uses it with musicianly
understanding. Madame Question Mark
assists in the act and resembles Miss
McF&rland In physique and features.
She hides a pair of lively eyes under a
little black mask, and It gives a note of
the mysterious to the offering. To
gether, and singly, they sing. Miss Mc
Farlanu's two solo numbers were the
"Berceuse" of Jocelyn and "My .Hero,"
Madame, 'Whose voice is somewhat
fuller and richer though not so fluto
Uka as Mlsa ilcFarland'o, sans "X Gar-
den of Love." Storms of applause
brought them back to sing "The Bar
carolle" from "Tales of Hoffman."
John E. Hazzard has. absolutely not
one old story. And not one you've read
in the funny man's corner of the paper.
He has a way of telling them that
catches. Also he tells just exactly the
right number to make, the act linger
pleasantly In the memory.
Hymen Meyer is a smiling, happy
individual who plays .the piano and
warbles. Grand opera interpretation
as Meyer sees it is humorous, but his
best bet Is of the hen hidden in the
piano. He hypnotizes Biddie and
teaches her to sing. It's a scream!
Austin Webb, a former Baker leading
man, appears In a dramatic patriotic
sketch written by Wlllard Mack, also
a former Baker leading man. Its title,
"Your Flag and Mine," suggests its
nature. Mr. Webb has a role that fits
him and plays It well.
Dupree and Dupree. a man and a
maid, open the act with a sensational
bicycle act that is "way above the aver
age In display of skill and daring.
The two Carltons close the entertain
ment. They are "phlegmatic gymnasts"

and some pathos, too, in the act of the
Old Veteran Boys in Blue." The men
who fiddle and dance "the turkey trot
as they did 50 years ago" and sing the
good old melodies are: William A. Ry
der, One Hundred and Forty-third New
York Infantry; S. S. Grant, One Hun
dred and Ninth New York Infantry;
Captain F. E. Turner, First Connecticut
Cavalry, and Charles Barret, Ninety
seventh New York Infantry. Captain
Turner plays "Listen to the Mocking
Bird" effectively and the others all
have clever specialties. "Dixie" is not
forgotten, and the tunes of 50 years
ago are concluded by the showing of
"Old Glory," while the Star-Spangled
banner Is given with the entire audi
ence standing.
"Behind the Footlights Is a sketch

are new and startling. 'James ICelso
and Blanche Lelghton in "Here and

introducing original novelties. Ross

some good songs ("The River Shan

stunts.
Added to all these are wonderfully
attractive movies and splendid music.
Could one imagine a better vaudeville

ARE words of any use?" "None

playlet at the Pantages. Just why the
piece should be called "The Apple of

rise to the fall of the curtain no one
speaks a word of enlightenment. In
stead of words, there is expressive
music and swift, vivid action.

Puget Sound with a full load,, but after
loading wheat here she will go north

Another feature of the charter mar

lowest figure quoted for windjammers
since early last season. Vessels head

parture from Los Angeles for this city
yesterday of the steamer Portland,
owned by the Globe Milling & Elevator
Company, which has been converted
at a cost of over $40,000 into a tank
steamer for carrying cereals. The new
elevator of the Globe interests has
been finished on the East Side, where
the approach of the old Harrlman
bridge rested, and in the future grain
will be shipped from there to Califor

Having seen men aitix tneir signa

followed by the number and name of

designated a new fraternity. . But he
was compelled to discard that theory
because he knew all names were en

SAX FRANCISCO GETS TRADE
Shipments Sent Here for Rail Points
In Oregon and Washington.
Arriving on the steamer Camlno from
San Francisco yesterday morning were
500 tons of cargo, mostly consigned to
rail points reached via Portland, and
virtually all of it was merchandise.
Wholesalers of the Golden Gate district
are said to ship large amounts of goods
here by water that are destined for
Columbia River basin territory, and
thereby cut into trade that could be
accommodated from Portland houses.
The Camlno sails at 2:30 o'clock Fri
day afternoon from Albers dock, in
stead of at 4 o'clock. Captain Ahlin
says there is a demand from passen
gers to see Columbia River scenery and
while that Is one reason for advancing
the sailing hour, it also will facilitate
the navigation of the ship in daylight
toward Astoria.
NEW WAITING-ROOM PLANNED

Separate ticket booths already have

ASPLUSD ' S PENALTY REDUCED
Captain Bulger Rules to Suspend
Merced's Master Nine Months.
Captain Bulger, supervising inspector
of steam vessels of the First District,
has reduced the sentence of Captain A.
F. Asplund, master of the steam
schooner Merced, imposed as a result
of the vessel being wrecked on the
rocks at Point Gorda, October 15. Cap
tain Asplund's license under the new
ruling will be suspended for nine
months, instead of one year, as the
San Francisco Inspectors fixed the
penalty.
Captain Bulger gave as his reason
for lessening the punishment that Cap
tain Asplund has been a master for 25
years and had never been in trouble
before and that he pleaded guilty to
negligence in not casting the lead,
when his vessel was bound up the
Coast in a fog. The supervising in
spector says in his decision that ves
sels are not lost on Point Gorda through
lack of aids to navigation, but be
cause masters often hug the land too
close In fair weather and fail to use
the lead or haul off shore when fog
closes down.
The Merced belonged to the McCor
mlck fleet, operating from here, and
was built less than a year ago at a
cost of $154,000.

ESSAYS URGE LOYALTY
YOUNG WRITERS TELL WHY BUYER
SHOULD GET STATE GOODS.
Prizes Are Offered by OreKonlan, to Be
Awarded Monthly During Year.
Label Contest Continues.
"Why should Oregon people buy Oregon-made
goods, quality ajid price
being equal?" is a question that Is
being answered by the essays that are
being submitted in the contest now
being conducted by The Oregonian, and
which will be repeated every month for
a year.
This contest is open to all boys and
girls of Oregon less than 16 years old.
Cash prizes of to, $2 and three prizes
of $1 each will be given each month,
or 120 during the year. Essays must
not be more than 200 words long and
should be brought to the Home Indus
try Department, Oregonian, not later
than 6 P. M. on the last Friday of each
month. The writers are asked to men
tion the things that are made in Oregon
which are used in their homes. This
pertains especially to food articles, such
as breakfast foods, canned goods, cof
fee. etc. Mention the brands by name.
The writer's full name, with name,
address and telephone number of par
ents, must be plainly written on every
essay. The essay must be written In
the handwriting of the child submitting
it, and only one side of sheet used.
The Oregonian is conducting another
contest, with monthly prizes. It Is the
"Home Industry" label contest. In which
anyone may enter. The prizes are given
to those sending in the largest number
of labels taken from goods advertised
on The Oregonian "Home Industry"
page, which appears each Monday. The
prizes are as follows: First, $10; sec
ond. $5; third. 2; fourth, fifth and
sixth, tl.
Both these contests are to inculcate
a spirit of loyalty to Oregon-made
goods. Oregon has many young man
ufacturing enterprises which need the
encouragement of Oregon buyers. These
Industries are asking no favors from
the buyer. They smply ask, all things
being equal, that the preference be
given to Oregon-made goods. Thus the
Oregon citizen, by buying Oregon prod
ucts, conserves his own Interests by
helping to build up his own state.
