MANDAMUS WRIT FAILS County Commissioners May Mak uch Division as Appeals to Them, Cities Beins Incorpor- rated Weld Not Factor. SAI,EM. Or.. Oct. 19. - (Special. ) Writ of mandamus to compel the Mult nomah County Commissioners to place tha City of Portland in a separate road district wi denied today by the Su preme Court on the graund that an act passed DY the last Legislature after chapter 1S7 of the 1915 session had becoma a law, took precedence. The opinion was written by Justice Bean. William F, Brady instituted the pro ceedings against the County Commis. sioners, basing his contention that the Commissioners should constitute Port land a separate road district under chapter 127 of the 1915 session laws, which provides for dividing counties into road districts in October and that incorporated cities shall be road dis tricts by themselves. The records show that this law was filed with tha Sec retary of State at 8:30 A. M. of Feb ruary 2S, while chapter 164, which sub stitutes September for October as the tima for making the road district di vision and contains no provision for makinjr incorporated cities separate road districts, was filed, on the same day at 9:53 A. M. Justice Bean in his opinion declares that where two acts are in conflict "the later expression of the Legislature must prevail." The court held that chapter 194 did not limit the Commis sioners in making the division into road districts, and that they could make such division as seemed suitable to them.

Axel Arnwick Dreamed House W'as on "Fire nnd Flnda Himself on Ground With Broken Hip. n1 LYMPIA. Wash., Oct. 19. (Spe- J cial.) If Axel Arnwick, of Port Angeles, keeps- a dream book, he will make a notation in it' that to dream of a house on fire is a sign of bad luck. Arnwick had such a dream, ac cording to his report to the state in dustrial insurance commission,- and awoke to- find himself on the ground with a: broken hip. He ' had leaped through an upstairs window in his sleep. in a claim for state compensation, filed with the commission, probably one of. the most novel claims yet presented to that body, Arnwick explains that the presence of smoke from nearby forest tires was responsible for his dream. Finding nothing in the compensation act pledsing the state to pay for ac cidents resulting from somnambulistic adventures, the commission yesterday rejected the claim on the statutory ground that Arnwick, who is employed by the Seattle, Port Angeles & West ern Railroad, did not sustain his in jury in the course of employment. The rejection was made with regret because the report shows that the injured man has a wife and live minor children de pending upon him for support. 100 PASTORS AT MEAL ILL One of Victims of Country Grary Insists on Making Will.

What Coffee Week October 17 to 23 This flight of aroma is simply the evaporation of the oils which represent strength, and flavor, and it means deteriora tion in proportion to the length of time elapsing between the time of roasting and the time of using even though it is packed airtight and moisture-proof. The less you pay for coffee the less strength and aroma it has and the quicker it evaporates. Therefore, the best (at an average of 40c) is the cheapest, and the sooner it reaches you after it is roasted, the more delicate and delicious it is in the cup. It is only in this way, in fact, that one may get full value and satis, faction for coffee money expended. Moral: Get your coffee fresh roasted, and in amounts only that can be easily used before it deteriorates. COTTON PLANTS RISING SOITHEHX MAMrACTlKEIIS ADD MUCH EQUIPMENT.

The out break of the European war, with the business depression, especially In the South, which followed, was accom panied by the urging of manufacturers cotton manufacturers in particular to "grasp the opportunity at hand" in Increasing their output and building up trade in places which had been domi nated by foreign manufacturers. That the South has responded to this oppor tunity is verified by figures just made public. During, the last year, a year when investors had less capital for expan sion and consumers had less purchasing power than has been the case almost since the Civil War. the cotton manu facturers have made large increases In the capacities of their plants.
