The Christmas relief fund of the As sociated Charities, the purpose of which Is to run the benefits of the Christmas spirit of helpfulness and charity through the whole year, stretches out to the poor of the city to b.elp them today just as effectively as it will reach them on Christmas and in the months following. For as rapidly as the funds are coming in from the peo ple of Portland relief is being sent out to the families of poor who are coming continually to the Cnarltles tn noed of Immediate help. A brief memorandum kept for part of yesterday by Secretary Manning contained the following list of families to which relief had been given on that day alone: "Man, wife and three children, living in a room, destitute, given groceries and arrangements made for a quart of milk for the baby each day during the coming month. "Man, wife and eight children, given necessary clothing, groceries and ar rangements for milk for a month. "Man out of work; wife and six chil dren; condition serious. Groceries and clothing supplied. "Man, wife and baby, destitute. Given firrocertes and temporary relief. "Family of eight poor children sup plied with shoes and clothing. "Mother and little boy given tempo rary relief, groceries and clothing. "Man, with wife and three children, is out of work and his wife seriously ill. Arrangements made for proper food for the invalid and food and cloth ing supplied. Job la Provided. "Job obtained for man out of work bo that he may take care of his wife after she leaves the hospital, where she was obliged to undergo a serious operation." The bare memoranda represent little to the casual reader, but in the pleas to the Associated charities that came from each one of those families was a story of tragedy and suffering unbe lievable to one who has never met with bitter adversity and poverty. One visitor to a family yesterday found the two children literally starv ing, a little oatmeal being all the food the father had been able to provide, lie had been out of work a long time and had no money. Arrangements were made for suitable food for the babie3 and other immedi ate needs of the family were supplied. Among the donations that came in were many bundles of clothing and foodstuffs for the grocery department of the Charities. Cash contributions continue to come in strongly and the relief work Is moving well in pace with the demands that come from the poor. One of the donations received was a check for $41.50. the amount subscribed lit the joint Thanksgiving services of the congregations of the First Meth odist. First Baptist, First Congrega tional and First Christian churches of the city. In the list of new cases that have ap pealed to the Charities and are to be helped through the relief fund, are: Opportunity S. Husband Sick, Woman Would. Work. This woman's husband is seriously ill with pneurnoria and the rupport of him and the five children falls entirely upon her for a time. The youngest child, 2 years old. Is also sick. The woman has not been able to find any work to do for a week and has haunted the Charities daily, making pitiful pleas for just a little something to do to earn money enough with which to care tor her sick hustpana and children. Opportunity 7. Family Wants to Go to Country. The father has been out of work for . long'time and the family, unused to life in the city, is in a destitute con dition. There are five children. The man desires, if possible, to find R place on a farm where he can take his family and work. He asks only a "mall wage and is eager to get back into the country, which he is used to, and where he feels that he can take care of himself and his children. Opportunity 38. Wife Sick and Family Without Food. The mother In one family has been ill for a long time and there is little chance of her Improving unless ar rangements can be made for special food and better care. There are five little children and the family is with out money enough to feed them as they Khould be. to say nothing of provid ing special delicacies for the sick mother. Immediate relief for the family Is needed and an arrangement whereby 1he woman may have proper care, and if a job can be found for the father the family may be able to care for it self in a short time.

Civil Service Board Today to Discuss' Preference to lie Shown Workers Lonir on Mnniclpal Payroll. Municipal civil service rules may cause the reinstatement In the city service of some of the 35 surveyors, clerks, stenographers and laborers who were dropped December 1 and the dis missal of some of the employes doing similar work in other branches of the city service. The question will be con sidered at a meeting this afternoon of the Civil Service Board. The -dismissals took -place principally In the public works department. It has been pointed out since that there are employes In other departments do ing the same sort of work as those let out, who have not been in the service as lonfe. City Attorney La Roche has ruled that in case of dis missals on account of retrenchment in work the employes shall be dropped in the order of their appointment, the last put to work being the first to be dropped. It is contended that when the pub lic works department cuts down forces the men dropped should be transferred to another department if there are em ployes in any other department doing the same kind of work but whose length of service has 'been leal. It is expected that as an outcome of the question some of those who were let out will be put back to work in other departments. There is considerable uneasiness among the newer employes in various parts of the service that so far have escaped the pruning knife. North Yakima Lodges Celebrate.

PORTLAND PUBLISHER'S SON NOW IN VAUDEVILLE Richard Carroll Glad to Place His Legs Once More Under Dad's Table, but He Is Ambitious to Reach Top in His Profession. REUNIONS of the class of '08, Port land High School, are occurring every afternoon and night at the stage door entrance of the Orpheum. Yesterday Officer Johnson, the repre sentative of 1'ortland's finest in that section of the city, had the impression that a small sized riot had started on the Park-street side of the new build ing, but it was only a few of the old high school comrades of Richard Car roll, son of John F. Carroll, publisher of the Evening Telegram, who were giving a demonstration of "spirit" in honor of one of their number whorls "making good" in his chosen profes sion. Mr. Carroll is in his old, home town in support of Miss Fremont Benton In "Handerchief No. 15." at the Orpheum this week. It is his second visit to Portland since taking his talents to the professional stage. "It seems mighty nice to get my legs under dad's, table once more, but I feel now that 'I would much regret anything that would prevent my having & big try for the top -of the profession," said Mr. Carroll. "There is no harm in my being ambitious, you know. "This has been a bully week In Port land, and I have enjoyed seeing my old friends of school days. I guess I was one of the most unimportant mem bers of the class of 1908. Such fellows as Howard Charlton, son of the rail road man. Henry McGuire and Les Hughes were the real leaders and most popular fellows. They deserved to be. and I am glad to find that not only those boys, but nearly every member of that old Phi Delta Kappa crowd, are scoring successes in the business world. Good luck, to every on of LUMBER IN PLEAD FOR WIDER fiRKET Plaint of Eastern Oregon Mills Is That Railroads' Rule Aids Competitors. CASE BEFORE EXAMINER Right Asked to Enter Field Beyond Butte and Cheyenne Now Closed, Dae to Tariffs Which Are Attacked as Unfair. Lumber manufacturers in Eastern Oregon presented their appeal before W. J. Wood, examiner for the Inter state Commerce Commission, yesterday, for rights to compete in the markets of the Great Nurtnern and Northern Pacific railways east of Butte and Sil ver Bow, Mont., respectively, and the markets of the Burlington Railway east of Cheyenne. The complainants pointed out that under the present tariffs they have not equal privileges with their competitors on the lines of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, upon the protest of whom the Union Pacific and its allied railroads recently were prevented from closing the gateways at Spokane, Butte and Solver Bow to business originating in Washington and Idaho. The mills complaining in this case are on the line of the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany in Eastern Oregon and are appear ing under the associate name of East ern Oregon Lumber Producers' Associ ation. They are represented by Joseph N. Teal, attorney. ' Rate Readjustment Asked. The O.W. R. & N. Company is made a party defendant with the other car riers to the suit, although it is appar ent that the O.-W. R. & N. Company will benefit largely if the case is de cided in favor of the plaintiffs. The O.-W. R. & N. Company is only pas sively represented by its attorneys and is making no defense. "We are willing to let the commis sion decide the case," is the attitude of the O.-W. R. & N. attorneys. Under present conditions the Eastern Oregon mills, including those at La Grande, Baker, Derry, Wallowa, Elgin and other points are not permitted to ship their products to points on the Great Northern east of Butte and to points on the Northern Pacific east of Silver Bow. Likewise they are shut off from Burlington territory east of Cheyenne. Their appeal to the com mission is for a readjustment of rates that will permft ' them to enter that territory. Two Want Postponement. . Before the case opened yesterday C. E. Patton, of the Atlas Lumber Com pany. of Seattle, and B. E. Kiser. of the Blackwell Lumber Company, of Spo kane, asked for a postponement of proceedings on the ground that a de cision for the plaintiffs would affect their business adversely. Mr. Teal re plied to this contention 'that the re quest for postponement was too late. The examiner ordered the case to pro ceed. - The strong point presented yester day by the plaintiffs, through F. G. Donaldson, traffic manager of the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' As sociation, was that existing rates are unfair to the Eastern Oregon mills. When the Union Pacific and its allied lines the O.-W. R. & N. Co. and the Oregon Short Line sought to close the Butte and Silver Bow gateways the mills on the Northern Pacific- and Great Northern protested, it was ex plained.' Consequently the Commission ordered the Union Pacific to keep the affected gateways open. As a result the Great Northern and Northern Pacific mills can compete with mills on the O.-W. R. & N. lines for business in Union Pacific territory. A reciprocal privilege is denied the Eastern Oregon mills, is the contention of the plaintiffs. Wider Shipments Involved. If the plaintiffs' appeal is granted by the Commission the Eastern Oregon mills will be able to ship lumber into Eastern Montana and points in North Dakota via the O.-W. It. & N. and Ore gon Short Line through Pocatello and into parts of Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska via the O.-W. R. & N., Ore gon Short Line and Union Pacific, through Cheyenne. The Union Pacific system lines will get the long haul on all such business. That, obviously, is the reason the O.-W. R. & N. Company is not actively de fending the suit. Yet the O.-W. R. & N. Company does not appear on the side of the plaintiffs for the reason, probably, that at the time its proposed closing of the Mon tana gateways was protested, the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and allied roads remained passive. Trees for beautifylne school KrounflM are furnished free to rural schools In California by the Chlco Normal school. Chico will also send, on request, a man to lay out school gardens In rural communities. Rlchnrd Carroll, Son of Portland Publisher.

Four handsaws, made in 18S9, and given to Frank Iller, 2 Union avenue, by his father, may be the proximate cause of the vigorous enforcement of the pawnbroklng ordinances in Port land. . Mr. Loller reported the theft some time ago Yesterday Mr. Loller found the saws exposed for sale in the win dow of M. Glickman. a pawnbroker. The police say that Glickman had not kept the saws for seven days after he purchased them, and that he had failed to give the police a proper description o.f the saws when he bought them. In court yesterday Judge Stevenson released Glickman with a severe lec ture. -He announced his intention of punishing such cases severely in fut ure. Since the ordinance is a com paratively new one, the police have not hitherto insisted on a strict compliance with it. Lamp Cause of Roseburg Fire. ROSEBURG, Or., Dec 2.

DOES CUPID USE A HAIR NET? Yes indeed he does. At least many times the attention of "the one man" has been caught by beautiful hair. Love stories all tell u8 of the hero ine's beautiful hair because it is one of the features which most attracts men. In washing the hair it Is not advisable to use a makeshift, bat al ways use a preparation made for shampooing only. You can enjoy the best that Is known for about 3 cents a shampoo by getting a package of canthrox from your druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful In. a cup of hot water and your shampoo is ready. After its use the hair dries rapidly with uni form color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely dis appear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. - Its luster and softness will also delight you. while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth. Adv.
