E
Adornment Famous in Every
State Campaign for Many
: Years Has Disappeared.
WAR DANGER NOT FEARED
Senator Jtclatos Confidence in Pres
ident o Avoid Trouble, Talks of
, Business Revival and Gain
' Expected In Standing Army.
At this critical time "for the Nation,
vith countries to right of us and coun
tries to left of us irk arms and putting
on a bold front, what d'you suppose the
lion. George K. Chamberlain, senior
United States Senator from Oregon, has
Jone to complicate the international
situation.
Take a good look at the picture the
upper one. please, not the lower one.
Tea, the picture is genuine. The Sena
tor has shaved off his justly celebrated
mustache.
It remains only for a certain well
It nown Colonel to dispense with his
hirsute adornment arvd for Jim Ham
Iewis to sacrifice the immortal whisk
ers, to bring the country to a state
of war. No formal declaration needed
under such circumstances.
Chamberlain Glory Gone.
For 10, 20 yes, 30 years at the very
least, tho Chamberlain mustache has
waved above the famous Chamberlain
nmile, in politics and out, for better and
lor worse. For 80 years it has been
the rallying banner from which Ore
p:on Democrats have rolled back .Re
publicans to capture some of the state's
best little offices for the banner bearer,
For 30 years but why proceed? The
mustache Is gone, and all the tears of
nonpartisan Oregon patriots can never
BKiure us KIOI.
The Senator arrived In town yester-
i V" fnr littlA vucatlnn hofnr.. 1. v.Avr
Congress convenes. As he stepped oft
mo o litis La in waning ior mm were
Milton A. Miller, United States Col
lector of Internal Revenue; his secre
tary, Herbert Grant; his son, Dr.
Charles T. Chamberlain, and several
reporters.
YVr Topics Kilt From Mind.
Can you Imagine such a thing as
George K. Chamberlain arriving un
recognized in his home town? Well, the
Senator actually got oft his car and
took a step or two up the platform
before Milton A. Miller managed to
gasp out. "Why, er er Sen Senator
Chamberlain? Ah, welcome home.
Senator!"
.wuoi. nnc iiieiii
As for the reporters, questions of
diplomacy, war. politics, were forgot
ten before the imperishable fact that
the' mustache was gone.
Why had the Senator cut off his
beautiful mustache? The Senator had
no apologies. He didn't need it any
more. Just cut it off. Getting too
gray, anyhow.
Did the Senator intend to let it
prow again? No, the Senator never
felt better in his life. Weighed 166
pounds without the mustache, which
was 28 pounds more than he weighed
a couple of years ago. and only two
pounds less than he weighed when he
went to Washington seven years ago,
with the mustache. Felt younger and
better all over.
Better Business Is Observed.
Then the Senator gave a real inter
view. "Times are better everywhere." he
declared. "California is prosperous. I
found business conditions there better
than they have been in a long time and
constantly picking up. Here In Ore
gon we have every reason to be opti
mistic. The Panama Canal is open, and
while It will take some time for its full
influence to be felt, Oregon will derive
the greatest benefits from it. We have
an open door to the Orient, and when
we fully realize the markets that are
open to us there, the producers and
manufacturers of the Pacific North
west will find a ready sale for their
products.
"In New York and the East, it is the
same. Business is on the rise. The big
industries are all busy. The steel busi
ness is the index of prosperjty, and the
steel foundries have more business
than they can attend to.
Railroads Making Purchases.
"And it isn't all 'destructive busi
ness' like the manufacture of war ma
terial, by any means," he added, em
phatically. "The railroads are buying
steel products again and many of the
largest orders are from the railroads.
The railroads are building more cars,
and thus opening a market for Oregon
lumber."
The Senator didn't think the United
States would get into the war. "Presi
dent Wilson will keep us out of war If
anyone can." he announced, "and I
haven't a doubt that he will do it.
Whatever happens he has the whole
country behind him. I think the Presi
dent is stronger right now than he ever
has been. His diplomacy in handling
the war situation has been a great
achievement. It will certainly make
him an influential candidate for re
election." Larger Army Predicted.
Senator Chamberlain is chairman of
the important Senate committee on
military affairs. He was asked whether
there is likely to be legislation in the
next Congress increasing the Army.
"There will certainly be an increase
in the Army, unless conditions ma
terially change." he replied. "It will
be a small increase, however, not a
substantial one, and there will be leg
lslatlon for better organization.
"I have talked this over with Sec
retary of War Garrison, and he has
risked me to return to Washington be
fore Cong ess convenes- to go over
carefully all proposed Army legisla
tion with him. I may do so.
Senator Chamberlain left New York
ois the steamer Kroonland May 1
coming tto the coast by way of the
Panama Canal and the San Diego and
San Francisco expositions. He said the
sea trip, with not a letter or telegram
to bother him for 20 days, had done
wonders for him.
And. despite the absent chair where
the mustach. had once been, he looked
every bit of it.

Opportunity Will Kxist for
Complications to Arise.
HIGH I'RICE FDR CHEAP
WATEH.
Commissioner Daly says water
rates would be lower in Port
land if meters had been installed.
Expensive construction, he says,
has made rates high. All the
needed "expensive" construction
has been completed and the costs
are there whether Portland
adopts meters or not. How, then.
Is Portland to get cheaper water
if $100,000 a year is to be spent
from current revenues to keep
up a city-wide meter system?
Endless trouble, complaint and ex
pense both to water users and to the
water bureau will be the inevitable re-
ult if Commissioner Daly gets the
consent of the voters at the June elec
tion to install water meters through
out the city. The system as proposed
will open many avenues for disputes
over bills which will be in such form
that they cannot be checked up.
The voters last Fall adopted the quar
terly water billing system. Bills to all
users are sent out once every three
months for water used during the three
months past. With the meter system
three months pass before a bill is re
ceived. The bill is based upon the meter-
reading at the end of the three months,
and during that time there may have
been something wrong with the meter,
but as three months elapse before the
trouble is noted the way is opened for
a controversy.
There is no way of determining ex
cept by taking the word of meter
readers whether or not a, consumer is
entitled to the minimum rate for one
or more months in each quarter. The
water bureau has a minimum rate of
50 cents a month for meters. The con
sumer has no way of telling whether
he uses less than the minimum or not.
The bill at the end of the three months
fails to indicate.
The experience In the past has been
that meter-readers sometimes are not
as diligent as they should be. They
often determine the reading of the
meters by averages, which saves them
the work of going out and actually
reading the meters. In. this way a
water user may be entitled to pay only
the minimum rate, yet the meter-reader.

by his system of making averages to
escape work, turns in his records to
show that the average for each of three
months was more than the minimum.
The water user has no way of checking
up. The meter-reading is at uncertain
dates each month, thus making it vir
tually optional M'ith the meter-reader
as to how the meter will be read.
This trouble has been experienced in
Portland since the quarterly billing sys
tem went Into effect. Many meter
users have had trouble and have com
plained of unfair bills or have com
plained that they were overcharged or
that the meter was misread.
It is said that with a monthly billing
system there would be plenty of oppor
tunity for disputes, but with a quarterly
system the troubles would be magnified
manifold, no matter how well-meaning
the water officials might be.
0RE power sought
PKOMOTIOV OF MARSHAL STEVENS
IRGED FOR EFFICIENT WORK.
Better Ability a Carry On Antl-Klre
Campaign as Second Asslstnnt Chief
In Pointed Out.
That we may have charge of most of
the men and officers of the fire bureau,
and as an acknowledgment of efficient
work, a large delegation of business
men yesterday requested Mayor Albee
to promote Fire Marshal Stevens to
the position of Second Assistant Fire
Chief. The Mayor will ask the City
Council to authorize the promotion.
One of the reasons advanced is that
it will enable Marshal Stevens to have
charge of some of the fire officials who
at present are not giving him all the
support they should. Another reason
given is that Marshal Stevens has done
some remarkable work in organizing
the fire-prevention campaign in Port
land. A third reason is to make it un
necessary for Marshal Stevens to report
to fires except in case of a big fire.
At present Mr. Stevens holds the posi
tion of Battalion Chief in the fire
bureau, doing that work along with the
duties of fire marshal. It is asserted
that the task is too great for one man.
Members of the delegation yesterday
commended Marshal Stevens highly for
his work and urged the Mayor to make
the promotion. It was declared that
letters have been received from vari
ous concerns and persons interested In
fire-prevention work complimenting
Portland on its excellent work.
Those attending the meeting were:
O. C. Colt. H P. Coffin. B. F. Boynton.
F. C. Burckhalter, Harvey O'Bryan. Or
lando Davidson. Arthur M. Churchill.
K. M. Underwood, Ira Reynolds and
Secretary McEwen of the Underwriters'
Rating Bureau.
The promotion of Mr. Stevens has the
hearty indorsement of Chief Dowel 1.
Assistant Chief Laudenklos and Battal
ion Chief Holden, of the Fire Bureau.
"Mr. Stevens has been doing a valu
able work in the field of fire preven
tion." said Chief Dowel). "The greater
authority that the new ranking will
give him will enable him to accomplish
still more in this direction, and we are
glad of an opportunity to indorse tke
request that was made to the Commis
sioners today."
CHURCH AID TO IDLE CITED
Seattle Pastor Advises Methodist
Ministers on Unemployment.
Rev. Adna W. Leonard, of the First
Methodist Church of Seattle, was the
principal speaker at the meeting of ths
Methcxlist Ministers Association yes
terday morning. Dr. Leonard told what
had been douc by the Methodist Church
! of Seattle for the unemployed. . He said
that a Saturday night club had been
organized and many hundred men had
received dinners and had attended the
services held afterward.
Dr. Leonard spoke of the wood that
had been cut on property bought by
the church and that in this enterprise
a large number of men had been given
employment. Practical help. giving
men a chance to help themselves, was
the suggestion offered by the speaker
as a partial solution to the existing
conditions. Dr. Leonard while In Port
land was the guest of Dr. T. W. Lane,
of Centenary Chcrch.
It is, however, difficult rur fi.pe to keep
one up if tbers are no other visible means
of support.
FAILURE TO VOTE
IS 'NO' ON MERGER
More Than Half Necessary
to Make Annexation of
St. Johns Certain.
PORTLAND CAMPAIGN PLAN
Educational Effort Proposed to
Teach Need of Active Aid by
Friends of Measure Town
Wants to Join With City.
Residents of Portland who favor the
annexation of St. Johns to the city must
vote "yes" on the question at the forth
coming election.
A failure to vote is equivalent to a
vote against annexation.
These facts become apparent through
close scrutiny of the merger law passed
by the recent Heglslature.
The law provides that "a majority of
the electors" must vote affirmatively if
-the annexation is to be authorized. The
same section of the law provides that
the number of electors is to be deter
mined by. the total number of votes cast
at the election. This means that a
majority of all the persons voting at
the next election must vote in favor of
the annexation of St. Johns if the an
nexation is to be carried.
The same law applies In like man
ner to the proposed annexation of Linn
ton. Strenuous Campaign Planned.
D. C. Lewis, member of the Legis
lature from St. Johns, who was author
of the merger, and other leading resi
dents of St. Johns propose to wage an
active campaign in favor of the annex
ation in the next few weeks preceding
the election.
While there is no apparent sentiment
opposed to the annexation, they real
ize that it will be necessary to impress
upon the voters the necessity of voting
"yes" on the merger question.
Fortunately for the cause of annex
ation, the law provides that a separate
ballot be provided for the annexation
question. Mr. Lewis and others will
impress upon the election officials the
importance of handing to each voter a
merger ballot at the time the regular
election ballots are handed out.
Efforts will be made to obtain the
indorsement of the Chamber of Com
merce and some of the civic organiza
tions in Portland and to enlist their
aid in the merger campaign.
6000 Live In St. Johns.
It is pointed out by Mr. Lewis and
others that annexation of St. Johns is
a step in the general direction of a
Greater Portland, and that this will
give Portland all the territory on tho
east side of the Willamette to its
confluence with the Columbia.
St. Johns has a population of 6000,
with all the city conveniences, includ
ing sewers, paved streets, electric
lights, gas. water works and a public
dock 120 by 540 feet one of the most
substantial structures on the river
with water In front of it varying from
23 feet to 40 feet in depth. The dock
is a double-decker and is capable of
handling both ocean-going and river
vessels.
St. Johns also has a free ferry con
necting that city with Linnton and
Whitwood Court, and a J 12.000 City
Hall, on a valuable piece of ground in
the heart of the city. The property is
worth, it is estimated, $25,000.
Finances of Town Good.
The city officials of Portland have
investigated conditions at St. Johns
and have approved the proposed merger.
They found that St. Johns has munici
pal property worth more than twice
the amount of its bonded indebtedness,
besides its public streets and sewers.
The taxable property In St. Johns is
valued at 4,000,000. which is ample
guarantee that the district always will
be self-sustaining. It is conservative
ly estimated that St. Johns not only
will produce all the revenue required
for its own maintenance but that it
will return a substantial fund into the
city treasury for the general fund.
Thia saving can be accomplished
through the elimination of salaries now
paid city officials there and through
other economies that naturally will be
effected through the consolidation of
the two municipal governments.
Extension Estimates Small.
It is believed, too. that the police and
fire service of. St. Johns can be im
proved through the Portland adminis
tration without much additional ex
pense. The people of St. Johns, at a recent
election, decided, by an overwhelming
vote, to surrender their charter and be
come a part of the Greater Portland.
It remains only for the people of Port
land now to accept the neighboring city
in good faith and vote for the annex
ation. Portland City officials as well as the
people of St, Johns are confident that
the merger tissue will be carried in
Portland if a proper expression of
sentiment can be obtained from the
people of. Portland.
More Than Half deeded.
It is apparent, however, that apathy
or ignorance may defeat the merger.
If more than half of those voting at
the general city election fail to vote on
the merger issue, the merger will fail.
If a few people, through ignorance or
other reasons, vote against the merger,
it will be necessary for substantially
more than half of the people voting at
the general election to vote for the
merger.
"The only way to carry the merger
election," says D. C. Lewis, "is for
every friend of a Greater Portland to
vote on the merger question and to
vote yes.' "
The same situation applies to Linn
ton, precisely.

No Hydrants Installed Since

COST GROWING WITH DELAY
Many Miles of Mains Laid In Xew

Is Disregarded in Xew
"Economy" Policy.
Standing- as a monument to the new
"economy" policies of City Commission
er Daly are several hundred fire hy
drants stored on water bureau prop
erty at East Seventh and East Alder
streets and elsewhere about the city,
while many districts where water
mains have been constructed in the last
six months are without fire protection.
The hydrants purchased for installa
tion on these mains have been left off.
ostensibly for the purpose of making
an economy showing for the water bu
reau. Since last November many miles of
new water mains have been put in. yet
not a fire hydrant has been installed,
regardless of the immediate need of
the hydrants. As a result Commission
er Daly has avoided the expenditure
of from SiO.OOO to $25.00U. which
amount will show up on the "economy"
ledgrers at the end of the year, unless
the residents of the various neplccted
districts rise up in their wrath and de
mand the installation of the hydrants.
In such an event the tables will be
turned, for It will cost more to install
the hydrants now than it would if the
work had been done when the mains
were first laid.
Selections Made; Work Neglected.
Up to last November the water bu
reau put in the fire hydrants wherever
new mains were constructed. Before
work was started on the mains the fire
bureau was notified and the places for
fire hydrants selected. The selections
have been made by the fire bureau since
last November, but none of the fire
hydrants has been put in.
Heretofore the fire hydrants have
gone in at the rate of more than 5uu a
year, involving an expenditure of be
tween $37,000 and $40,000 a year. Prior
to the establishment of the new policy
last November the water bureau pur-
COURAGE IS COMMON
THIS WAR.
IN
London, May 25. Every Englishman
knows how to die bravely. The Irish.
Scotch and English soldiers face the
bayonets, the machine guns as though
out on dress parade. It is the men
who sicken and die in the trenches, or
at home after an arduous campaign,
that our sympathy goes out to most.
There are thousands of such men be
hind the battle lines who went to the
front without the strong constitution
and good pure blood to withstand the
deprivations, the hardships of the cam.
palgn in Belgium and France. It's a
warning that we should pay strict at
tention to our stomach, liver and blood.
If one is all out of sorts he should
take an invigorating tonic and altera
tive, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, which cures diseases of
the stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition. It eliminates from the
blood disease breeding poisons. It
makes the blood rich and pure, and
furnishes a foundation for sound, phys
ical health. Fifty years ago. Dr.
Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, at Buffalo. N. V., found
that certain barks and roots manufac
tured by using glycerine without the
use of alcohol or opiates, made into a
concentrated extract, whicli he called
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
made a stimulating tonic for the stom
ach, helped the digestion and assimi
lation of the food and eradicated poi
sons from the blood. This is nature's
cure for indigestion, and by correcting
the stomach, and thereby feeding the
blood on pure materials, the rd blood
corpuscles are increased and the body
established in a healthy state. No one
suffers from catarrh who has plenty
of red blood corpuscles and a good di
gestion. Catarrh in all Its forms is a
stagnation of the blood. Introduce pure
red blood into the system by taking
the "Medical Discovery" and health is
assured, Adv.

chased & large supply of the hydrants
and hauled them to the storage yards.
Then the anti-fire protection policy
was adopted and the hydrants were
left standing out in the elements. They
have been in the yards all Winter.
None Installed lnee November.
Construction of new water mains has
been carried on as diligently during the
last six months as at any time in years
past. Heretofore comparatively few
mains have been put in without fire
hydrants. Since November not a fire
hydrant has been installed. althouRh
mains have been put into many dis
tricts well built up and greatly in need
of fire protection.
A notable case of tho anti-fire hy
drant construction is seen in the Lents
district, where two miles of mains have
been constructed through a well-built-up
district without a single hydrant be
ing furnished. The mains are of only
half value, inasmuch as they do not
furnish fire protection along with their
u.ual service of furnishing water for
domestic purposes.
