Broadway numbers will be listed in the new directory of the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph Company, and the Broadway exchange will be opened in the not-far-distant future in the new building at Park and Oak streets. a The exact date for the "cut over" has not yet been set. The old "Main" ex change will remain in the old building at West Park and Alder streets. Long distance boards, telegraph and leased wire apparatus will be installed in the new building. The "cut over" will be an electrical engineering feat of no mean proportions, and elaborate prepa rations are being made for it. The dif ficulty lies in transferring the lines to the new building without interrupting ervice. hX-f' I 'A -J'"' f -' -1 'i - 1 I ' - " ' - I :4 Above -Scene In Old Shortock Hall During the Reception Honrs.

As a result of the reorganization of tho City Water Bureau to conform to the new quarterly billing system as provided in an ordinance adopted Oy the voters In the recent recall eiec tlon. there will be a big shakeup in the bureau soon after January 1. An nouncement was made yesterday by Superintendent Kaiser that some time after the first of the year 10 inspectors and 10 or 11 clerks now in the service will be dropped. It will be necessary until after Jan uary 1 to retain practically all of the present working force to enable the reorganization of the workings of the bureau. It will be necessary to revise all the books and install a complete new vstem to control the 66,000 ser vices In the city. This work will In volve considerable expense and con fusion in the bureau. On January. 1 all of the present pay stations of the American Express Corn pay, where bills have been payable heretofore, will be abolished and pay ment will be required at the City Hall or at the East Side Water Office at East Seventh and Alder streets, or in the Albina Office, at 296 Russell street. These latter offices, which were closed a short time ago, will be reopened a that time. It is probable also that one or two sub-paystations will be opened in the business district. At these it is proposed to havo clerks of the Water Bureau. . Bill Bent on Different Dates. Under the system as arranged bills will be sent -to various sections of the city on different dates. On December 1 the entire city will get bills for thefr November service. On January 1 the Albina. district, embracing -all the tor ritory ion the-East Side north of Schuy ler street, will receive a bill for water used in December. That district will not receive another bill uptll April The bills then will be for water used during January, February and March. The district on the East Side south of Schuyler street will receive a bill Feb ruary 1 for service during December and January. No further bills will be sent out in this district until May 1. The West Side will be billed March 1 for water used during December, Jan uary and February. No further bills will be sent oat In this district until June 1. About January 1 Inspectors will be sent out to make a survey of all water services in the city. Each residence will be visited and a check made "of the number of water outiets. Water rates will be revised according to the findings of these inspectors. Tt la said that there are many residences which have installed new fixtures for which they are not paying according to the new rates. It is expected the checking up of the services will increase the ity s revenue many thousands of dol lars a year. The schedule of proposed new water rates and water regulations will be pre sented to the City Council this morning. Mr. Daly will ask that they be adopted at once, which will make it possible to put them Into effect December 1. Kew Water Rates Ont. The new water rates are as follows: For family of 10 persons or less, ordi nary use of water for drinking or cook ing or washing and one toilet. 50 cents month; each person exceeding 10, 10 cents a month additional; each addi tional toilet, 15 cents; each bathtub, 10 cents, each urinal, 25 cents; each water cooling closet, $3 a month; each water- heating system, 25 cents a month. For lawn sprinkling the rate is changed materially. No lawn sprink ling will be permitted for less than 3 for & season. For one lot the charge will be $3 for a season; for from one lot to three lots the charge will in crease up to $5 a month. For all area over three lots the charge will be $3 a lot. For metered service the rate as pro posed is reduced. A minimum of 60 cents a month la provided in place of the former 75-cent minimum. The user will be charged at the rate of 10 cents for each 100 cubic feet up to 20,000. For amounts over 20,000 feet the rate will be 8 cents per 100 cubic feet. For metered services' outside the city the rates will be the same as the pres ent meter rates in the city, except that there will be a minimum charge of $1 a month.

Reduction of the water ratea is pos sible because of a large surplus . of water funds resulting from the Water Bureau .collecting more water rental than has been necessary to maintain the Bureau. NEW YORK. Nov. 10. (Special.) Mrs. Marian W. Brashears, treasurer of the Favary Tire & Cushion Company, told Judge Hand and a jury in the United States District Court today how the defective heating arrangements in a boarding-house in Portland, .Or, where Bhe once stayed, drove her to take refuge occasionally In a room of a handsome young minister. .."But Rev. Mr. .Baker," she said, "is a most devout and sincere man." - Mrs. Brashears was testifying in her own 150,000 slander suit, brought against Mrs. Susan B. Smith, of Shel- byville, Ky., formerly of Portland. The defendant is more than 70 years old. She is accused by Mrs. Brashears of circulating scandalous stories con cerning the plaintiffs relations with the young clergyman. These stories. the plaintiff says, injured her reputa tion in Portland society. . . Mrt. Branhears Is Stunning. Mrs. Brashears came fnto court In stunning garb, consisting of a green velvet gown and coat trimmed with red fox. Her rakish toque, also of green, was trimmed in like manner. Her ap pearance on the stand was effectively artistic. She told her story in well- modulated accents and raised her arched eyebrows in horror at the Idea of her having visited the young min ister's room for anything but warmth and spiritual guidance. You see, she said, we were stay ing at the same house. Many of the rooms were insufficiently heated and often the other boarders went to the minister's room just to be cosy." Miss Mary A. Case, a contralto so lolst, who was once reported engaged to young Claus Spreckels, son of the millionaire sugar man, figures prom inently in the case. She was called as a witness by the plaintiff, although the defendant says she practically, adopted the singer and gave her a musical edu cation, which Included a course in this city, Boston and Paris. Gossip la Reported. Miss Case told of a conversation with a friend in Portland in which the lat ter told her that her adopted mother was speaking gossip reflecting on Mrs. Brashears, with whom Miss Case was also intimate. . Mrs. Smith in tearful accents told how she had defrayed the expenses of the singer's musical education. When Miss Case returned from the Continent, Mrs. Smith said, she warned her protege against associating with Mrs. Brashears. "I told her," said Mrs. Smith, "that Mrs. Denny told me that Mrs. Taylor told her that she overheard the Rev. Mr. Baker exclaim, "For God's sake, leave my room." for the year ended June 80 was $90, 343.86. according to a report filed with the State Railroad Commission today.

This Is to be applied once I week until the hair is sufficiently dark ened, then every two weeks to keep the hair soft and glossy and the scalp in a healthy condition.
