DIECK' DELAYS HEARING
Sew Electrical Code Not to Be Taken
TJpTlIl After October 1.
At the request of members of the
electrical code revision committee.
Commissioner Dieck has postponed the
hearing on the proposed new code un
til after October 1. The committee
made the request because most of the
members will be out of the ciy until
that time. ,
The new code has caused a bitter
fight between the electrical wiremen
and the contractors because of a pro
vision requiring persons to put up a
cash bond of $100 in addition to a sure
ty bond of $500 before doing any elec
trical wiring.

Whidden Lewis Criticised.
"I have talked personally to Mr.
Whidden over the telephone and been

the Courthouse," he went on warmly.
"I have talked to Mr. Lewie personally,
and been refused. I have presented an
order, signed by the County Commis

"Now, as an Individual and as a tax

Lack of Harmony Commented On.
Dr. Glesy was commenting on har
mony. "The lack of harmony in this
board has been a factor against the
best Interests of Multnomah County,
hasn't it?" he asked Commissioner Hoi-
man. Mr. Holman said -yes."
- "As a matter or fact, wnen one wm
missioned would advocate one thing.
v.. ak -,. wmild null in onDOSite di
rections," remarked Dr. Giesy.
Out of this seemingly innocent cun
versation, a violent argument ensued
between Commissioners Lightner and
Holman. Mr. Holman, discussing lack
of harmony, spone oi a loner jr.
Lightner had refused to sign,
whv ainn't von tell the whole truth
and say why I wouldn't sign it?" an
grily demanaea mr. unuinw.
"By Jove!" ejaculated Mr. Holman.
"I'm going to stop right here. I've
taken the grossest insults from all
sorts of people because I wanted to
have this Investigation go on, but I'm
not going any further."
There was more violent argument. Mr.
Lightner demanded Jo know if Mr. Hol-
. haa.'i nnrA said ha wouldn't have
anything to do with the adminlstra-
tive code, ana rar. xxvinian Bawi1 uaw
a counter-irritant.
Belligerents Called to Order.
"Oh, Mr, Holman, you know there
isn't anyone that believes you,"
snapped Mr. Lightner. It remained for
Dr. Giesy to cool the sizzling air with
a sharp rebuke to both belligerents.
"I'm glad we have had this instruct,
lve little squabble," said the Doctor
caustically, "because It shows Just what
is the matter in the County Board of
Commissioners, and Just why affair

plants n the Paeifia Coast. It ia aired in steel
class-lined tanks. It is conveyed by modern pipe
Bne system direct to the bottle house, bottled under
pressure and therefore never eomes in contact with
the air from the time it leaves the fermenting tank
until the bottle is opened by the consumer. The
consumer ia absolutely assured a. beer of ideal
effervescence, snap and purity.
A trial will sorely eonvince any one of the ex
