TENTATIVE PLANS LAID
3leeting at Vancouver Ti9cnsses
Advisability of Offering Block
of $050,000 Multnomah
Issue at Once.
A tentative plan by which actual con
struction of the Columbia River Inter
state bridge can be put under way at
'once, hundreds of men put to work and
local money put into and kept in local
circulation, resulted from the meeting
of the Columbia River Interstate Bridge
Commission Tuesday at Vancouver.
Wash. The meeting was attended by
the Clarke and Multnomah County Com
missioners and by Governor West.
Multnomah County Commissioners
will take the lead today by adopting
resolutions necessary to advertise for
bids for a block of Multnomah bridge
bonds. The bids will be' opened" No
vember & "and if the bonds can be sold
at par or better, with interest at not
more than 5 per cent, it is probable
a block of $250,000 will be put on the
market, providing conditions are such
as to convince the Commissioners the
work can be continued when the first
block is used up.
Now Tkoixhl Time for Wfik.
The attitude of the Commissioners is
that now is the time to- carry on any
public work available. This attitude
was manifest at the meeting- of the
Commission yesterday. Clarke County
is prepared to act as soon as Multno
mah County makes a decision.
At the meeting of the Multnomah
Commissioners this morning it probably
will be decided to put the first block
of $350.1)09 on the market In denomi
nations of $100, 500 and $1000. Popu
lar subscription will be invited, and be
tween now and November 5 when the
bids will be opened, public discusslan
will be asked as to the propitiousness
of "the time for beginning the bridge
construction. By starting the bridge
hundreds of men can b put to employ
ment, and by selling the bonds locally
the interest can be kept at' home.
Clarke County has an opportunity to
ell $100,006- worth of Ms issue- to the
state school fund.
Conservative Steps Planned.
Multnomah County Commissioner
Rufus Holman, who is chairman of the
Interstate Commission, said after the
meeting:
"The opinion prevails that the time
to start public work is now. We want
to do it if it is- possible to sell a black
of the bonds now at par or better and
not less than S per cent,- and can see
rar enough into the future bv Novem
ber 5 to know that when the first issue
is used up we can put another block
on the market and dispose of it at par
or better and not more than 5- per cent.
e would like to do better and per
haps we can in time.
"At any rate, the Commission has de
cided to proceed conservatively and to
feel our way at each step. As Commis
sioner Llghtner has proposed we be
lieve that the bonds can be advan
tageously handled by local capital, as
there is lots of money on deposit at
home. Henry Teal has called attention
to the system of Investment by which
France grew to such strong financial
influence mainly the system of local
Investment in just such undertakings.
Opinion of Public Asked.
"It ought to work here. We would
like to get the views of Portland busi
ness men and others- on the proposition
to sell the bonds at popular subscrip
tion in blocks of $100. $300 and $1000.
Prom observation it is apparent there
re many persons who believe the
bridge construction could be started
and carried on now to advantage to all
concerned. Our principal concern la to
proceed In a conservative way, how
ever." At the meeting yesterday those
present were Governor West, Clarke
County Commissioners Llndsey, Secrest
and Rawson. and Multnomah County
Commissioners Holman. chairman of
the Interstate Commission, Lgbtner
and Hart.
Multnomah's share In the bridge con
struction includes an issue of $500,000
for obtaining and building the bridge
approach and $750,000 for the actual
bridge- construction. Clarke County has
S.SOO.OOO worth of the bonds to account

Already leased. Says Promoter.
Daily Matinees to B Feature.
Portland is to be a link in a chain
of stock companies that will play all
of the leading cities on the Pacific
Coast, if a plan, now being put forward
by Rube Welch, who made theatrical
history in Portland about 10 years ago,
matures.
Mr. Welch quietly slipped into Port
land List week and last night he said
he had already closed for the leasing
of houses in seven Northwest cities,
including Portland, and that he was
reasonably certain of 10 cities Port
land, Seattle, Spokane. Tacoma, Van
couver, B. C, Oakland, San Francisco,
Facramento, Los Angeles and San
Diego Four other cities, including
Salt Lake. Butte and intermediate
points, jniht he added, he said, the
ultimate goal being a circuit of 14
cities. The l'ortland home will be one
of the theaters now under course of
construction.
"The plan is to form 14 separate
stock companies that will move every
week, playing the same play for 14
consecutive weeks and rehearsing dur
ing that time for the play that will
be commenced at the head of the cir
cuit when all the 14 cities have been
covered." said Mr. Welch. "Kaeh com
pany is to be headed with high-priced
stock stars, who are particularly noted
for thotr respective parts. In all, about
75 first-class performers will be em
ployed. Popular prices, with a top
price of 50 cents, is the present
schedule"
When he first came to Portland,
about 10 years ago. Mr. Welch was
known variously as the "unsinkable
cork," "Young Hammerstein" and
"Rufus Wallingford." Unable to engage
a theater in which to book the legiti
mate independents whom he represent
ed, Mr. Welch announced that he would
build a house of his own if accommo
dations were not forthcoming.
Accordingly, he promoted the con
struction of the old Columbia Theater

Liberal 'Abuse.
Startling revelations concerning the
dentally related incidents ' coming
timber records of R. A. Booth that
Governor West advertised he would
make in the auditorium of Washing
ton High School Tuesday night failed
to materialise.
The Governor read extensively - from
familiar public records and inci
nnder his own observation as an- of
ficer of the state land department in
tending to show that Mr. Booth -and
the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, of
which Mr. Booth is vice-president, ob
tained some of their timber by fraud.
These records consisted of the pro
ceedings of the United States Courts
in which Mr. Booth was acquitted on
charges of timber frauds.
He then went on to describe the ex
tensive timber holdings of Mr. Booth
and his associates with the evident
intention of giving his hearers the im
pression that all this property was
obtained by fraud.
Upon this sole accusation he based
his argument that Mr. Booth should
not be elected to the United States
Senate and then proceeded to paint a
halo around the bead of George E,
Chamberlain, Mr-. Booth's opponent for
the office.
Every time he would succeed in di
recting a particularly nasty charge at
Mr. Booth he would hold out bis hands
as if appealing for sympathy and ask
in a low, beseeching voice:
"Now, do you think Oeorge Cham
berlain would have done that?"
The words "crook," "criminal" and
like terms flowed freely through his
speech and he did not hesitate to ap
ply them to all who have in any way
opposed him or offended him since he
became Governor.

as numerous Republican officials,
present and past, came in for their
share of criticism and abuse.
Before he got through he appealed
to class hatred for action at the polls.
Finally he invited mob action and de

i'outh, Who Unintentionally Slew
Little Friend, Hides Body on
Whipple Creek Bank Verdict
Open bnt Sheriff Holds Boy.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Oct. 14. Alva
Tower confessed Tuesday that he killed
his playmate. Matthew Harris, last Sat
urday. He said ha did it accidentally.
Fearing that the shock would prove
serious to his own mother young Tower
said he dragged the body to Whipple
Creek and hid it. He then went to
his home and said nothing about it to
anyone, though more than 125 men and
boys were scouring the country far and
near for some trace of the missing
schoolboy. Alvah is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Tower, of Sara, and has been
attending high school in Vancouver,
going to his home at Sara at weekends.
. Coroner Victor H. Limber today im
paneled a jury and an inquest was
held in a hall at Sara. The jury re
turned a vjrdict that Matthew Harris
came to his death by a .22-caliber bullet
tired from a gun in the hands of Alvah
Tower.
The verdict was signed by Gordon
Stuart, foreman; H. B. Hathaway, D. G.
Converse, George Page, William Thomp
son and Cyrus Hampton.
The Tower boy was taken in custody
by Sheriff Cresap and returned to the
county jail, where he will be held for
further developments, in the women s
ward. The case will come up before
Judge Back, of the Superior Court.
When Alvah was in the Sheriff's
home last night Mrs. Cresap, the
Sheriff's wife, talked to him kindly, and
he finally admitted to her that he had
killed his playmate accidentally.
Before the inquest was held today.
Sheriff Cresap took the boy and went
with him to where Alvah said he had
hidden Matthew's gun. The gun was
found where Alvah said it was. He
was then taken to the scene of the
shooting and acted it out for the Sher
iff and William C. Bates, Deputy Coun
ty Attorney.
Alvah said he and Matthew had
reached a point near where Matthew
was killed, when a splash was heard
in Whipple Creek. Matthew had pre
viously hidden his gun, expecting to go
back by that trail to get it. Alvah
went to see what the noise was, think
ing it was muskrat, and Matthew re
mained standing on the railroad track,
about 40 feet from the creek.
Taking the same gun in his right
hand, Alvah went down to the creek
bank, and climbed out in the very
tracks he had made when he was
climbing out Saturday afternoon.
"I was carrying my gun in my right
hand and climbing up like this and was
here, in front of this willow when the
gun went off," said the boy. "Matthew
staggered a little and fell down.
thought that he. had fainted or some
thing, so I ran back to the creek and
got my cap full of water and threw it
in his face, but he didn t come to.
"I unbuttoned his shirt and under
shirt and saw where the bullet went
in. I saw Frank McWilliams coming
up the track and I was scared. I ran
and hid the gun - on the upper side of
the railroad track, then I dragged Mat
thew down to the creek to hide him
while McWilliams was passing.
"He died right away, I think. He
had hold of my hand when he sort of
stiffened out and grabbed me so hard
I could hardly pull my hand away from
him."
The funeral of Matthew will be held
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning from
the little Christian Church, near Sara,
Rev. F. II. Reddick. of Felida, Metho
dist, will conduct the services.

Registration at the night schools of
Portland, which opened Monday night,
is expected to jump well up toward
3000 tonight, wben they will receive
their second group of students for reg
istration. Owing to the holiday Monday and to
misunderstandings on the part of some
who came to register, none of the
night schools were able to register all
who applied Monday. At the Lincoln
High School. Principal J. C Veatch
says that the rush of applicants tot
registration was so great that not
more than half of them could be reg
istered at that time. Probably more
than 1000 will be registered at this
school alone when the books close to
night. One of the striking features of the
applications this year is the number
of business men and others who are
seeking to take a course in Spanish.
On this account it is prabable that an
other Spanish teacher will be needed
at the Lincoln High School.
Many applicants at schools giving
only the regular grammar school or
academic work wanted to take sewing
or cooking or other courses for which
they will have to go to. the trades
schools, and this also hampered the
work of registration Monday night.
In spite of all this, however, the
openings registration is much larger
than that of last year and it will prob
ably be more than 6000 In a few weeks.
The registration Monday night was:
Lincoln High School, 666; Jefferson,

Likely to Start All-Coast Organ

Foundations of a society, which is
eventually hoped . to extend through
cities of the entire Pacific Coast and
which has tor its purpose the fostering
of better understanding and sympath
between the business men of the United
States and of the Orient, were laid Tues
day night at the Commercial Club at a
banquet given by former American
residents of Yokohama, in compliment
to M. Ida, the Japanese Consul, who is
soon to return to Japan from his post
in this city.
In his address at the banquet,' Mr.
Ida expressed his great pleasure that
such an organization is contemplated
and, said that he would announce it to
the Japanese Ambassador in Washing
ton and that he was convinced that
much good would result from it. He
touched upon the long friendship that
has existed between the United States
and Japan and the especial occasions
that have served to increase the bonds
between the two nations.
"Fifty years ago," he said," the Jap
anese bombarded foreign ships an
chored in the harbor of Yokohama, and
as a result of this the powers of the
world levied against them an indem
nity of 50,000.000 yen. In 1853 the
United States Government voted to re
fund to Japan its full share of the
indemnity with interest. As an ac
knowledgment of this courtesy on the
part of the United States, and as a
lasting memorial to the broad and
benevolent policies of your country, the
Japanese government shortly after
voted Jl, 000,000 to be used to improve
the harbor of Yokohama."
W. D. Wheelwright, C. A. Edwards

Troops Felt.
PETROGRAD (via London), Oct. 14.
The Roumanian Minister to Russia, C.
Diamondy, today gave out a statement
concerning the attitude of his country
as regards the war. The statement
follows:
"In view of the conflicting reports
and general obscurity surrounding
Roumania's attitude since the death of
the late King, I will say that at pres
ent Roumania is prevented from ren
dering active assistance to the allies
by the necessity of keeping troops
along the Danube. I know for a fact
of the existence of pourparlers between
Russian and Hungary regarding the
ceding of Transylvania and the guar
anteeing to Hungary of national sever
ace from Austria in return for Hun
gary's withdrawal of her troops from
Cracow.
"The latter would change the whole
military situation and undoubtedly end
the war, but Hungary's attempts are
not seriously regarded by Roumania,
for we feel sure that so long as the
present Russian Foreign Ministry is in
office our interests will be safe
guarded. The Hungarian conversa
tions are Instigated by Hungarian pris
oners in Russia.
"Hungarian national entity is a
physical impossibility on account of the
comparatively small Magyar element
and racial complications. We, there
fore, are hopeful of ultimate possession
of Transylvania, realizing as the war
proceeds' the power of the Roumanian-
army of, 600,000 men.

of the day a long line of voters
stretched into the Courthouse corridor,
but there were no long delays. Extra

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
If You Eat Meat
Regularly.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism. headaohes, liver
trouble. nervousness, constipation,
dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder dis
orders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonf ul in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with iithia
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure- makes a delitrhtfnl effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications. Adv.

in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles, has been introduced
in this country by Oeorge H. Mayr. who
for twenty years has been one of the
leading down town druggists of Chi
cago and who himself was cured by its
use. So quick and effective is its action
that a single dose is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases, and many people who
have tried it declare they never heard
of anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short a time. It Is known
as Man's Wonderful Stomach Remedy
and can now be had at almost any drug
store. It is now sold here by aU drug
gists. Adv.
REBATE ON OIL
TRANSPORTATION
was a mighty fine thing for the Standard Oil Co.,
but it was neither fair nor conducive to business
by others in oil. If U 'Ren works his
$1500 Tax Exemption
he will Yollow the example of the dishonest oil
rebaters, and to gain for himself a few votes from
those who get the rebate he wall drive out of Ore
gon the capital that is necessary to develop Ore
gon's resources.
It is manifestly unfair to tax any one more than
his legitimate portion so that others may go free
of paying taxes. This is what is done by the
$1500 TAX EXEMPTION.
Business Will Not Improve
Capital Will Not Invest
There Will Not Be Prosperity
in any community where unfair laws are put in
effect for any purpose.
In this case the purpose is to tax land so that it
must all eventually become the property of the
state and there will be no private ownership of
land. Do you want socialism?
If not, you should defeat this bill.
