r ,i - Vnltnnmnh CountV.
T7" v rnmrf-rt as attorney for Road-
master' Yeon and a friend of the good
i-nnH. mnvtmcnt will handle the Boards
interests. The object is to have the
case determined by the Supreme Court
with as much expedition! as possible in
order that the boards of the various
counties of the state may have clear
eround on which to work in the
Yiat Av rnnrl (districts.
tud frniihu n rises through conflict
between House bill 91 and Senate bill
19S, the former of which passed both
lust a few hours prior to the
latter.
Senate Bill Expected to Prevail.
Thn TTnuan bill nrovides that "eveiy
Incorporated city and town shall con-
fit o Bonarnta road district, ana
h rmintv Court shall not have au
vit-irv r divide such territory or in
-ih, nv of it in anv other road dis
trict," while the Senate bill provides
for redistricting annually at the option
of the courts, but does not require that
nr.nmnriti.H ritles and town be made
senni-ntA districts.
Mr. Coovert contends that the Senate
nill, the last expression of the Legis
latnra nn the subiect. undoubtedly will
be held to prevail, and in this District
Attorney Evans agrees,, but in order to
eliminate the possibility of illegal ac
. .- . nn rt of the Conty Board
in road expenditures it is necessary to
have an expression from the courts.
F.-rnenditure Embarrassment Caused.
When considered in conjunction with
the fact that the law also requires u
per cent of the road money raised in
dictrirt r he expended within that
district, the embarrassing nature of the
.iii , for ns Multnomah County 1
concerned becomes apparent.
Taxpayers resident within the City
f Portland alone pay 94 per cent of
the road tax of the county. Thus, for
illustration, if J100.000 in road revenue
was raised, S65.S0O of it would have to
be spent in the city, leaving only $34.
200 to be expended in the rest of the
county.
Of this latter amount a large pro
portion would have to be spent within
the corporate limits of Gresham. Trout
dale and Fairview, all incorporated,
and. therefore, separate road districts,
if this legislation were to prevail.
Disproportionate Taxe.4Loom.
The result would be that to provide
suitable roads for the rural districts
of the county the farming community
would have to be taxed exorDitannj.,
while the city would either get oft with
little or no tax for road purposes or
haven large surplus of money.
Officers of several counties have made
inquiries of Secretary of State Olcott
regarding this conflicting legislation.
The test case to be brought in Mult
nomah County will do away with the
necessity of similar friendly suits be
ing brought for the individual coun
ties. As far as Multnomah County is con-
.nrnBfl Ihe Board is satisfied with the
present road districts and does not wish
to redlstrlct.
House bill 91 was Introduced by Rep
resentative Hunt, of Clackamas County,
a resident of the City of Estacada.

Hundreds were turned away last

shouted last night, "If you haven't

should run, eat, grunt and live the
rest of your life suffering from con
stipation, sleeplessness and head
aches."
He declared there are a number of
causes of indigestion "that you have
got to look out for. Remember that
the stomach was meant to handle only
one meal a day," he said. "For genera
tions we have been trying to make It do
three times the work It ,was Intended
to do. The result Is auto-intoxication.
The body is filled with poison that
gets Into the blood and then you have
a peck of trouble on your hands. Eat
one meal, sensibly gotten up and you
will be wearing knee trousers at 50
and in your prime at 100."
The subject this afternoon at 2:30
will be: "Foods for Mother and Child,"
and at 8 tonight, "Foods for the Fat

In Commemoration of This Event and to Show Our
Appreciation of Loyal Support of the Buying Public, We Will Give
"5-for-l" in the BasementStore
(Five Green Trading Stamps Instead of One)
With Each 10c Cash Purchase Made Today
FIVE YEARS ago today we opened our Basement Under price Store tlie
first of its kind in Portland, or in fact, the entire Northwest. That it has es
tablished new merchandising methods and become a powerful factor in re
ducing the Cost of Living in thousands of homes is attested by wonderful growth
from a small beginning to the commanding position it holds today as
Portland's Greatest Bargain Center
To the great purchasing public, always alert and keen for real bargains, is due in
great measure the success of the Basement Underprice Store. To show our ap
preciation of their generous patronage and to induce others to come and see for
themselves the tremendous advantages to be had by trading in the Basement
Underprice Store, we will give FIVE S. & H. GREEN TRADING STAMPS
INSTEAD OF ONE with every 10c 'cash purchase made in the Basement today.
Plan to come in the morning if possible, thereby avoiding the afternoon crowds.
Every effort will be made to see that all customers receive courteous service the
same standard maintained throughout the entire store at all times.

NIGHT SCHOOL READY
Opening Is Set for October 4,
Three Sessions Weekly.
3 DIVISIONS ARE ARRANGED
Teaching of Englislh to Foreigners,
Aid for Young People Who Would
Finish High School and Tech
nical Work Included.
Little Caruso.
Little Caruso, the great tenor ap
pearing at the Empress Theater this
week, tells how he received the title
of Caruso.
"Five years ago I was singing Illus
trated songs in a moving-picture show
in New York and became very popular
with the patrons of the theater," he
says. "I fulfilled an engagement of 20
consecutive weeks at the one theater
and finally decided to enter vaudeville.
Taking two partners, I formed a trio
and called the act the Rossitto Trio.
"One day the idea dawned upon me to
enlarge our act and, after hearing the
famous Metropolitan star. Knig Caruso,
sing. I-decided to build the new act in
which I am now appearing."
Little Caruso and company are the
headline attraction at the Empress this
week, and their offering is one of the
prettiest singing and musical turns pre
sented here in months.'
Many subjects will be Included in
fhr free nubile night schools, to be
opened October 4. They will be open
two hours Monday, "Wednesday and Frl
riav nlirhts. The work Is divided Into
three divisions as follows: Teaching

chiefly adults; helping to complete the
education of boys and gins wno navo
left school before finishing the regu
lar courses, and giving technical in
at.ni.t1nn In sublects.
The first division into which night
school work falls Is held to be of much
importance by the School Board. It
is agreed that foreigners must have a
knowledge of English if they are to
make the most or their inimnooui!
in other directions.
Special Subjects Offered.
In addition to regular elementary
rhool subiects. many special sub
jects will be offered persons employed
