Commissioner Dieck accuses

in handling his budget estimates.
Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of dand
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the Bcap and rub it gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four. more applica
tions will completely dissolve and en
tirely ' destroy 'every ' single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand
ruff you may'have.
. You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work. Adv.
It took all day and a lot of quarrel
ing for the City Council, sitting as
budget committee yesterday, to lop off
170.000 in disputed appropriations in
the 1916 budget estimates. When the
weary day's work was done the Coun
cil found that it had the prospective
1916 levy down nearly to 9 mills, with
little hope of getting any further with
out arbitrary cuts of salaries or appro
priations already approved. As the
budget now stands it has $2,754,000 in
It to be raised by direct taxation.
The climax of a lively fuss over de
partmental budgets was reached when
the Council as a whole refused to re
consider its arbitrary cut of $105,000
In Commissioner rieck's department,
and Mr. Dieck got angry and charged
the Council with "ridiculous discour
tesy" to him.
This --incident stirred up a heated
controversy whlcn brought out per
sonalities and many short-rib jolts
during the rest or the session. Mr.
Dieck. while decidedly "peeved" at the
way his estimates were handled, made
a threat to stick by ant-one who wnniH
go down the line for a general 15 per
m cut in every department. Com
missioner Baker called him on his
proposition, but on more serious con
sideration Mr. Dieck quit.
Aside from the rows the session re
sulted in a definite decision that the
city will go ahead with the elimination
of the grade crossings along the line
of the O.-W. R. & N. from the head
of Sullivan's Gulch to the city limits,
project involving an outlay of about
$750,000. The city's share will be
$130,000.
Work la Provided For.
The Council yesterday agreed to pro
Tide $65,000 of this amount in next
year's budget so that work can be
started next year.
The Council sat down on Mr. Daly
when he tried to foist on the taxpaying
public the expense of $S250 interest on
water bonds issued in Linnton before
annexation for the construction of
water mains. This item was shoved
Into the water bureau expense columns,
where the majority of the Council ruled
it should be. Mr. Daly put up a stiff
fight and got into a dispute with Com
missioner Dieck over it, but the item
went into the water fund just the
same.
The fuss over Commissioner ninplt's
budget came up when Clerk Urutze
asked for further information upon
just what had been meant when the
Council on Friday moved to cut the
salary roll 15 per cent and allow $86,
000 for supplies and materials.
"It seemed perfectly clear to me,"
aid Commissioner Baker, who made the
motion in the Friday meeting. You were
to get 85 per cent of the payroll of the
present year along with $86,000 for
supplies and materials. That, as I took
it, meant S5 per cent of $280,000. which
Is your estimated expenditures for this
year."
"You're wrong." said Mr. Dieck. "The
estimated expenditures for this year
are $303,000."
"It was $280,000 last week." said Mr.
Biprelow. "It has grown a lot in a few
days."
"There were some unforeseen expen
ditures to be considered which were
not in that estimate," replied Mr. Dieck.
Dflnser Is Foreseen.
Mr. Dieck had revised his estimate so
that It stood $264,274 for salaries and
$34,502 for supplies, as compared with
$432,008 for salaries and supplies,
which were the amounts in the budget
originally. This made a total reduc
tion of JS3.232 in the budget.
"And remember," said Mr. Dieck,
"these revised figures do not provide a
cent for contingencies. If anything
goes wrong in the city we are 'up in
the air." "
"Judging from these figures, you are
pome chess player, Mr. Dieck," said
Commissioner Baker.
"These are the bedrock figures
worked out by me during many hours
of hard work on Saturday and Sun
day." said Mr. Dieck. "The total asked
for Is S34S.776. as compared with
$42.008 in the original budget."
"In other words you fell down," said
Commissioner Daly.
There was a Ionic spell of quietness
and then Commissioner Daly came to
the front.
"I move." said he. "that the Public
Works Department be allowed $240,000
for salaries."
"I second the motion." said Commis
sioner Baker. "That places the figure
at about what it was when we finished
last FTiday."
Sir. Dlerk Gets Angry.
And then Commissioner Dieck lost
hln temper.
"Who's going to revise my budget?"
he asked hotly. "I'm certainiy not go
ing to do it. I have spent my nights and
Sundays working out this thing and
when I bring it in here you merely
brush it aside. I won't do it any more;
I positively refuse."
Commissioner Daly then moved to
allow $S6,521 for supplies, materials
and equipment for the department.
This motion carried.
Dlaconrteay la Charged.
"Why couldn't that have been done
the other day?" snapped Mr. Dieck. "I
have spent a lot of time fixing up the
budget and all ror naught, it is ridicu
lously discourteous, that's all."
At this point the Council adjourned
until afternoon. The later session
found Mr. Dieck relieved of his peevish
ness, although there was an occasional
outbreak.
Clerk Grutie announced at the aft
ernoon session that the levy was down
to 9:35 mills.
i "To cut out another mill we will have
to cut out $300,000, won't we?". asked
Commissioner Baker. .
: Afr.. Grutze informed him that such
was the case. .
"Where's our financial man?" said
Commissioner Dieck. "He ought to be
able to find some better means of get
ting the levy down."
"It is 9.35 mills now," replied Com
missioner Bigelow, who is Commission
er of Finance, "and the only way to get
it-down is to go to it. Either that or
go down and sandbag a bank."
"I move we start by eliminating
$130,000 for the proposed O.-W. - R. &
N. regrade work," said Commissioner
Daly.
This lea to protests from Mr. Baker
and Mayor Albee. both of wnoni" de
clared that the project is a necessity
and should be carried out. It was final,
ly decided to leave $65,000 of the $130,
000 intact.
"Now that brings - the levy down
to 9.15 mills," announced Mr. Grutze.
The Council then referred to Com
missioner Daly's budget and started go
ing over some questioned articles in the
street-cleaning bureau. "Make some
cuts," insisted Mr. Dieck. "Why not
a 15 per cent cut all around?"
"The fact, Mr. Dieck, that your
budget was cut arbitrarily is no reason
why others should be cut likewise,"
said Mayor Albee.
Linnton Item Causes Clash.
Commissioners Daly and Dieck got
Into a row over the question of making
the water bureau . pay $8250 interest
on Linnton water - bonds. This item
had been charged against the general
fund, and Mr. Dieck moved that It be
put against the water fund.
"It is an unfair charge against the
general fund," said Mr. Dieck. -"The
rest of the water main maintenance
and construction comes ' out of the
water fund." s
"It is not a fair charge against the
water fund," persisted Mr. Daly.
"I think this is a time when every
branch of the city service should come
to the rescue of the general fund and
the taxpayer," said Mr. Dieck.
- "Not when to do so would be dishon
est." replied Mr. Daly. "The bonds were
voted by the Linnton people as a gen
eral obligation. Furthermore, the gen
eral fund should stand it, because the
city charter provides that the city shall
pay $50,000 to the water fund annually,
and the payment has been made only
once."
Charter Provision Alleged.
"What section is that in the charter?"
asked Mayor Albee.
"I don't know," replied Mr.. Daly,
"but it's there." , -
"No, it isn't." said Mr. Grutze.
"I know better." said Mr. Daly. Mr.
Grutze got a copy of the charter and
Mr. Daly hunted in vain for the pro
vision. "I guess you're right," he said
finally. . "It isn't there, but it ought
to be." L
But Mr. Daly was overruled, and the
charge was shifted to the water fund.
"And now where is the levy?" asked
Mr. Baker.
"It's a little mora than 9 mills," re
plied Mr. Grutze.
"What do we want to get it down
to?" asked Mr. Baker. "Can we cut it
to 8 mills?"
"I don't believe it can be done," said
Mr. Bigelow.
"We can get it down as near 8 mills
as possible, anyway, said Mr. Daly.
The session was adjourned until 3
o clock this afternoon.
Avocation of Writing; to Fair
Admirer Is Costly.
Jadfce Fines Self-Styled Knxlnrrr
and Mining; Man and Orders Him
to Get a Real Job.
A N avocation of an' unusual charao
XJl ter was confessed to yesterday in
the Municipal Court, when Charles J.
Babineau, self-styled civil engineer and
California mining man, testified that
he was corresponding with a large
number of women as & pastime. Some
of the letters which Bablneau had with
him sealed and ready to mail at the
time of his arrest were exhibited as
evidence. All were addressed to differ
ent women and were of an affectionate
character.
In the letters to these women, with
whom the arrested man is said to have
gotten in touch by means of a corre
spondence agency in San Francisco,
Babineau represented himself to be a
man of wealth with a cosy California
home. In some of them also he as
serted he is a. civil engineer with i
good job. -
The man also had in his effects a
large quantity of letters from fair ones
in various sections of the country and
an accumulation of their pictures.
Testimony showed that he was also
representing himself to be a civil en
gineer with money about Portland, and
by that means had succeeded in bor
rowing $6 from a woman whom he had
met since coming here about seven
weeks ago.
Babineau, on cross-examination of
Deputy District Attorney Deich, said
that he had been working as , a rod
man on a railway construction Job in
Utah and California previous to com
ing here. He said he had begun writ
ing his affectionate letters when he
was out in the construction and survey
camps.
City Detectives Coleman and Snow,
who arrested the man, testified that
they did so because he was staying
out late nights and sleeping in the
daytime, and had no visible means of
support. .
Judge Stevenson fined him $25 and
told him to get a job and get to work
immediately.

ENGINEER HERE TODAY
Meeting of Commislson to Be Held
Tomorrow at Vancouver, When
Toll Question W ill Be Dis
cussed and Reports Heard.
"Whether the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company will use the new
Interstate bridge for its Portland-Van-couvr
service depends largely upon
the developments of a meeting- of the
Interstate Bridge Commission at Van
couver tomorrow.
Officials of the company say that
they are eager to use the bridge when
it is completed, but await an rffer of
terms 'from the Bridge Commission.
Tolls wilV be collected for ordinary
vehicle traffic across the bridge, and
a toll charge will also be fixed for
streetcar traffic.
The Bridge Commission is awaiting
the arrival of E. E. Howard, chief con
sulting engineer on the work, and
probably will confer with him before
offering terms of franchise to the rail
way people. It is expected that Mr.
Howard will be able, when he arrives
here today, to present complete esti
mates of the cost of operating the
bridge. Inasmuch as it is intended to
have the bridge earn in tolls only
enough to pay its fixed charges, the
toll charge will be based upon the
probable operating expenses.
"We cannot state our attitude on the
question of tolls or of franchise until
we know what the Commission has to
offer," said Franklin T. Griffith, presi
dent of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, yesterday.
"We want to use the bridge and
hope that we can come to some rea
sonable terms."
When the people of Multnomah Coun
ty and of Clarke County voted bonds
to pay for the new bridge it was gen
erally understood that one of the prin
cipal uses to which the structure would
be put would be the accommodation of
streetcar traffic
But it is apparent that no street
railway company is forced to use the
bridge except through economic pres
sure. Despite its desire to use th
bridge In an effort to improve its
service, the railway company could
continue to use its present combination
rail and ferry service if unable to ac
cept the terms of a franchise, w
Officials of the company as well as
members of the Bridge Commission ex
press full confidence, however, that
they will be able to reach a full agree
ment so that the railway service can
be inaugurated as soon as the bridge
is completed.

Splendid Laxative
for Elderly People
Has Been Prescribed by Well-

Many Years.
The infirmities of age are especially
manifest in a tendency to constipation,
and call for treatment that will afford
relief in an easy, natural manner. The
rapid action of cathartic remedies and
purgatives that shock the system
should be avoided, more especially, as
the relief they offer is only temporary
and is usually more than offset by dis
turbance to the vital organs caused by
their violent action.
Nearly thirty years ago Dr. W. B.
Caldwell, Monticello, 111., prescribed a
compound of simple laxative herbs that
has since become the standard house
hold remedy in thousands of homes. It
acts easily and gently, yet with positive
effect, without griping or other pain
or discomfort. Mrs. Rachel Allen, Gales

using a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
