The committee has Issued 50.000 leaflets that are being circulated and many methods to impress the impor tance of the bond issue upon Indifferent ones are. being arranged. Bannermen probably will appear on the streets in large numbers either today or tomor- rAbig parade of local organizations will march through the downtown streets tonight in support of an affirm ative vote on the road bonds.

"The Chamber of Commerce is up In arms for the good of the city and we urge everyone to talk good roads from this time on." declared Chairman Lar son. "We must carry this bond issue. Portland's future demands it. All should get busy and make votes for the bonds during the two days remain ing before the election." The personal canvass of precincts for good roads votes has been com menced already by some enthusiasts who objected to waiting until today. E E. Coovert. assisted by E a New hall. E. J. Daly and others, held a meeting in the tlrehouse in Precinct 16 Saturday night, which was attended by 30 men. Each was given a card with 10 names of voters in the pre cinct and all agreed to interview these people personally and induce them to vote for the bonds. Caavaaa Wider Way. Mr. Coovert and two others went out Saturday morning with their cards and obtained interviews with their 30 pros pects. All reported their attitude as favorable to the bonds and the workers were much encouraged. Business houses of the city are ral lying to the support of the bonds. Let ters are being sent out to employes giving arguments in favor of the issue and showing how good roads will be of benefit to Portland and the surrounding country. A letter sent to employes ot Woodard. Clarke & Co. on April 10, signed by W. F. Woodward, is a good example of this class of letters, thou sands of which are being distributed. The letter follows: Next week will be held an election for the purpore of deciding whether Multnomah County shall Issue bonds for 11,200.000 to cover the cost of hard surface roads.

Waci Earners' Welfare Noted. Completion of tbese road will make It possible for many of our employes to uve ouis.de of the city rather than in flats or apartments; to own their little tomes, wlta good-sized garden plots; to secure by rapid service over hard-surface roads, quick access to our city and yet enjoy many of the bene fits of country life. . It will cheapen the cost of living by bringing under production thousands of acres of untllled land now situated on roads that are Impassable many months of the year. These hard-surface roads extending out of Portland will practically mean that Mult nomah County will become one great city f suburban homes and the benefit, accruing therefrom will come t the poorest as well as the wealthiest of our residents. It will furnish Immediate employment to several thousand worthy men. It will greatly Increase the demand lor ae slrwbl. home, onts.de o the f P0"' Is handicapped at the present time by an overplus" city population and a .hrU In rural dwellers. Hard roads will overcome tais difficulty to a very great degree. MK. YEOX TOS srPPOKX Westminster Church Clsass Is Con vinced by Talk. "You have won your case as far as this audience Is concerned." said C. E. Cochran, president of the current events class of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, at the conclusion of Roadmas ter Yeon's address yesterday, following the sermon of the morning. The room was filled with men of prominence. In his address Mr. Yeon outlined what the cost of the proposed hard-surface roads will be if the bonds are voted, and pointed out that the burden would v 11 owia tr carry it. rest upon niuac - - He showed the figures to demonstrate that 6 per cent ot me unpJ'" ..n .nt f the cost of the bonds, while 94 per cent will carry the other 24 V, per cent of the cost. He showed where 80 per cent of the funds would go to labor. This road construction is no fad with us," said Mr. Yeon. "We ascer tained that macadam will not stand the great traffic of today, and that macadam simply means perpetual motion in ex penses for repairs. In Multnomah County we have the pitiful amount of Shi miles of hard-surface roads, while King County, Washington. Has 105 miles and plans to build 80 miles more. In King County the roads cost $28,000 per mile, and they have voted 12,000,000 for more of the same kind, while we have to fight for the sum of Jl.250.000 to start with in this county. Farmers in King County are prosperous and nappy and all are making money, all because they have good roads. "Do you want some of the same pros perity In Multnomah County? If you do, vote for the bonds next Wednesday. Portland has been falling behind, and we must do something to get out of tbe dryrot that has fallen on us. "You have heard that Mr. Benson and myself have acquired large property interests near the Columbia Highway, and for that reason are working for good roads. Gentlemen, we don't own a foot of land there, except what Mr. Benson has purchased for park pur poses and which he will present to the city. You will hear that we are in this road movement for graft. I leave it to your good Judgment whether Mr. Benson, after giving all this money to improve the roads of this county and state, expects to make a little money out of the paving contracts. Not a bit, and you know that this report is abso lutely false. My only interest, and the only interest Mr. Benson has, in this road question is to secure good roads for this city and county absolutely. And it is right and proper that men who have made some money should give their services to the country that made it possible for them to achieve success." O.K. GIVEN ROAD BONDS REPORT AT CIVIC LEAGITE LUXCH EOS CITES ECONOMY. Contention of Opponents That Work Would Favor Certain Contractors Is Disproved. In a report submitted to the Oregon Civic League at its luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel Saturday. Charles E. Warner, who had been appointed as a committee to investigate the merits of the proposed road bond issue, indorsed the plan and disproved the contentions of opponents of the improvement that the proposed work would favor certain contractors. His report in part fol lows: "Hard-surfaced roads do not make farm or draft horses 'stiff-legged.' They would have that tendency with fast trotting or running stock if speeded on these roads. It is not my understanding that thia is intended. "The economy of 'good roads' as com pared with 'mud roads' is a matter of use. The latter cost a great deal to repair, and the more travel, the greater cost. The former cost little to main tain, the main item being the interest on the bonds. This is the same, prac tically, no. matter how great the travel. The greatest economy is attained by building hard-urfaced trunk roads to stand the heavy travel between im portant centers of traffic." t. vaihlnvtoii National Museum has placed on -exhibition articles of furniture once ownea oy iencmi xwi i " We Give zvC Green Save Them and Secure Olds, Wortman & King The DAYLIGHT STORE Special Demonstration & Sale "Wear-Ever" Cooking ' Utensils Third Floor An instructive and in teresting exhibition.

The theme is an ideal one for a motion pic ture story, but one that requires some strong emotional acting. With this in mind, the Mutual company selected Alfred Paget to play the part of Enoch a part which Lord Tennyson has made as tragic as any of Shakespeare's cha.raoters- Lillian Gish becomes Annie Lee In the story, and Philip Ray, clos est friend of Enoch, is played by Wal lace Reid. Most people are familiar with the story of Enoch Arden. The old theme of the shipwrecked sailor returning after many years .to his homeland find ing his wife married to his closest friend of former years, has gone down as one of the classics. As a motion picture story it is ideal. Pictures make it possible to give the story a back ground of scenery Just as Tennyson has described ia- his poem. Tha scenery in the picture now being shown at the Sunset Theater is ideally adapted as a back-ground to the story. CANAL OFFICERS NAMED Additions Made to List for Celllo Celebration at Big Eddy.

NOTHING BETTER "I Never Spent Any Money That Did Me So Much Good as That I Spent for Vinol." Bellefontalne, Ohio. "I wish every tired, weak, nervous woman could have Vlnol for I never spent any money In my life that did me so much good as that I spent for Vlnol. My nerves were in a very bad condition, making me very weak, tired, and worn out and often drowsy headaches. I had tried cod liver oil, doctor's medicines, and other preparations without benefit. "One day a friend asked me to try Vlnol. I did and soon my appetite In creased, I slept better and now I tin strong, vigorous and well and can do my housework with pleasure." Mr. J. F. LAMBORN", Bellefontalne, Ohio. Nervous, weak, tired, worn-out women should take Mrs. Lamborn's ad vice and try Vlnol for there are liter ally thousands of men and women who were formerly run-down, weak and nervous, who owe ahelr good health to Vinol. It is the medicinal, tissue bulldinir elements of the cod's livers, aided by the blood making, strengthening in fluence of tonic iron, contained In Vlnol, which makes it so efficient in all such cases.
