BUDGET MAY BE $135,000 Twelve Men Probably Will Be Re quired for Operation of Colum- . bia Klver Span Board Will Be in Fail I Control. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Oct. 28. (Spe cial.) A tentative franchise form, pro viding tolls to be charged common carriers across the Columbia Hlver Interstate bridge, connecting Vancou ver and Portland, was today adopted by the Interstate Bridge Commission. The form was drafted by Walter Evans. District Attorney of Multnomah County, ana E. E. Howard, of the bridge engineers, Harrington, Howard & Ash. Copies will be sent to all interested, with requests that they return written briefs, containing desired changes. A hearing , of protests will be held Tuesday. January 4, in room 200, Mult nomah County Courthouse. Present at the meeting were Kufus JJolman. chairman; philo Holbrook, W. L. Lightner, of Multnomah County, and A. Rawson, W. S. Lindsey and John I". Kigglns. Clarke County Commis sioners, and William N. Marshall, cleric of the board. Twelve Men Will Be Needed. The board has not yet made a budget showing what it will cost to operate the bridge, but it Is presumed an in formal one will name $135,000 per year. It probably will require 12 men to operate the bridge, with a crew of three working three shifts, a third shift being necessary to permit each crew to take off one day a week. Whether or not Clarke County will be permitted to pay the interest di rectly from the tolls of the bridge is a matter to be later determined. The toll rates as proposed are: Each person riding an animal, or on a vehicle capable of carrying 25 pas sengers or less, 5 cents; same, upon a vehicle capable of carrying more than 25 passengers. 3 cents; a trolley car, 25 cents; trailer. 25 cents; passenger ve hicles and cars having seats for more than eight persons, 25 cents; a self propelled vehicle moving under Its own power, not otherwise specified, includ ing farm engines and road rollers, 25 cents; freight cars running on the rail way tracks, either self-propelied or drawn, $1; electric locomotives, $5. Commission to Keep Control. These tolls do not include those for Anything other than common carriers which will be compelled to get a fran chise to operate over the bridge. The franchise is so drawn that everything is in the power and management of the Bridge Commission and no company se curing a franchise could sublet any rights. The franchises so granted are to terminate December 31, 1940. The rails to be used in the construction of .the tracks Tnust ' weigh at least 70 pounds ler yard. Wires crossing the bridge are to be in conduits. The tolls proposed must first be ap proved by the War Department and then the Interstate Commerce Commis slon. The jitneys were mentioned and it was said that the jitneys probably will have to be reckoned with as common carriers, though they would not be com pelled to secure a franchise.

(.Special.) After motoring over the Siskiyou grade of the new Pacific Highway today. Governor Withycombe declared the roaa noi only one of the finest he had ever seen, but promised a local dele gation that he would do evervthino- in liis power to have the state reimburse Jackson County for a large part of the cost of construction. "I had heard a great deal about the icimjou graae, said the Governor, nut tins trip today surpassed all my e.xpectations. In easy grade, scenic beauties and permanence of construc tion this roud equals anything in the iaie or on me racuic Coast. I cer tainly admire tne enterprise of the people of Jackson County that made it possible. This read links the high ways and settlements of two states and Is a very expensive piece of work. It Is strictly a state proposition and not one lor a county to carry bv itself. Khali heartily favor legislation that will reimburse Jackson County for a large amount of tne expense o its con etruction." The Governor was accompanied by Assistant State Highway Engineer Iavis. Mrs. W Ithycombe, Miss Mabel Withycombe, S. S. Smith, of Medford, and Colonel C. McLaughlin, of Port land. The party took the train for S-an Francisco at the small station on the crest or the mountain. BIDS CALLED TOO HIGH Engineer Says Prices for Pavlnj Work Out of Proportion. If recommendations of R. E. Kremers. chief of the municipal bureau of high ways and bridges, are followed, the Council will reject all bids for the re placement of the surface of the pave ment on East Thirty-ninth street from Ankeny to Burnside streeto. which was torn up by the bursting of a water main there recently. Mr. Kremers says tne bids are too high. Oskar Huber bid J1.50 a yard for a two-Inch top for the pavement and $1.35 a yard for lH-inch top. The War ren Construction Company bid 11.65 for the two-inch surface and $1.60 for the lH-inch surface. Mr. Kremers says the city is getting similar work done on upper Washington street for $1.10 a yard. With a municipal paving plant he says the work could be done for about 65 cents a yard.

ELECTION CURB ISSUE, TOO Brewers Also Working for Amend ment Which Would Prevent Liquor Issue Being Submitted Again for Six Years. COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 28. The camel, which for many weeks has been forag ing in many states of the Union, is nibbling- the herbage on the borders of Ohio and may make this state an other of its pasture lands. On Novem ber 2 the citizenry of the state will vote on an amendment to the consti tution to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicants within the state's borders. One year ago a similar proposition was defeated in Ohio by a majority of 84,152 votes. This year, and the "wets" themselves admit it, the vote will be much closer. Publishers of the Ameri can Issue, the newspaper of the Anti Saloon. League, are boasting an increase in their circulation from 30,000 to more than 200.000 since the "drys" got to work. Since last April dry speakers have gone up and down the state pleading their cause. Now, tne closing ween or the work, speakers of National promt nence have entered Into the warfare. William Jennings Bryan will have made 42 speeches in cities and towns of importance during the last six days. Other speakers are Richmond Pearson Hobson, Sam Small, of Atlanta, ua.; John G. Woolley. of Madison, "Wis.; T, Alex Cairns, of New Jersey; Dan Mor- nan Smith and Scott McBride, of Chi cago; ex-uongressman r rea lanais, or Indiana. and seaborn wrignt, or Georgia, Wet Would Delay Next Vote. While the prohibition amendment is the main issue, there is another wnicn Is considered of little less importance. That is an amendment supported and advocated by the wets, which provides that no amendment or part of one twice before the people for decision at the polls San be submitted to them again within six years after tire second .elec tion upon it. The Brewers" Stability League, argu ing that this annual agitation of the saloon question is a bad thing for the state, is behind the amendment. The "drys" feel that nothing their oppo nents could have done could have helped the "dry" cause more than the promulgation of this proposition. It is true that many citizens who may be on the fence regarding the prohibition amendment are strongly opposed to the SEW YORK NEWSPAPERMAN WILL ADDRESS JOUR NALIST STUDENTS. ' 'IIIKKM S(! "wet" amendment, and its chance of passage appears to be small. What the "drys" term a "Derniclous attempt to control the state elections." is being made by the wets of Cincin nati.

Dry Charge Plot to Rule. "This is a. deliberate attempt." is the statement from the Anti-Saloon League headquarters, "to prevent as many as possible of the prohibition element from registering their choice, and at the same time is a pernicious attempt on the part of Cincinnati liquor inter ests to control state elections." At the election a year ago, about 600.000 votes were cast. The election was general. This year nothing except the two amendments are to be consid ered. The wets will poll every vote they can command In the state, and the drys feel that they will probably not be able to register their complete vote on account of the well-known apathy of the so-called "best citizens" in mat ters of this kind. FLAG GIVEN POLK COURT MR. JTCAMAIiT PRESENTS KMBLEM FOIl PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATION. WOMEN IN AOTO UPoET DRIVER OP COLLIDING CAR RUSHES ON, GIVING NO AID. . Sons and Daughters of Revolution to Provide Standards for Other Conrts Throughout State. DALLAS. Or., Oct. 28 (Special.) Wallace McCamant, of Portland, today presented to the Circuit Court of Polk County a beautiful silk flag attached to a standard, the gift of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. Polk County is the first county in the state to benefit thus from the gen erosity of the patriotic organization. Flags will be presented to other courts of the state next week. Mr. McCamant, in presenting the flag, made an Interesting and patriotic address. Mr. McCamant was warmly applauded. G. O. Holman. an attorney of this city, was appointed by Judge H. H. Belt, of the Circuit Court, to re spond to Mr. McCamant's remarks. Mr. Holman fittingly remarked; "Persons becoming naturalized citizens jot this country should be made by the court to understand that thereafter their loyalty was due first to the American flag. Those persons have much to be thankful for; they have niuch reason for being loyal. When they come to this country they come as subjects. When they have taken the oath of allegiance to this Nation and have been duly ad mitted to citizenship they become kings, for all men in this land of the free and the brave are kings and all women queens. They know no master save their own conscience and the laws which they themselves have enacted for their own conduct." The flag will be used by Judge Belt when naturalization proceedings are being carried on in his court, and he promises to call the attention of each naturalized citizen directly to it and what it stands for.

SYMPTOMS OF DEBILITY People who are tired all of the time and never feel rested even after a long night in bed, who cannot regain weight and strength, whose step lacks elastic ity and who feel no Joy in living, are debilitated. A medical examination might easily show that every organ of the body is acting normally but the pallor of the face will usually show that the blood is thin. This is the root of the trouble. Debility Is a loss of vitality, not af fecting any one part of the body but the system generally. The blood goes to every part of the body and the use of a blood tonic like Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills auicklv tones urt the svatem The first sign of returning health is a better appetite, improved digestion. quicker step, brighter eyes, better color in the cheeks, une rich, red blood reaching every organ ana muscle, car ries renewed health and vigor; The nerves are quieted, sleep becomes more refreshing and with persistent treat ment and proper living the debilitated patient is once more enabled to enjoy life.

That statement does not surprise uj. We have told the people of Portland many times during the last ten years that Vinol is the greatest remedy for chronic coughs and colds that we ever sold. Mr. Dunning says: "I took a heavy cold which settled into a chronic cough. It seemed as though I coughed continually day and night, so 1 could not sleep. I was all run-down and so weak I could hardly keep about. 1 tried different cough medicines, but seemed to get worse instead of better. I went to the drug store and got a bottle of Vinol. Be fore it was half gone I was better ana its continued use cured my cough, built me up and I am feeling fine." Benj. Dunning, 208 Tenth Ave., Scranton, Pa. Vinol is not a . palliative like cough syrups, but it is a constitutional rem edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis, which .removes the cause ami stops the cough, and the recovery of Mr. Dun ning was due to the healing medicinal extractives of fresh cods' livers with out oil. aided by the strengthening. revitalizing effect of tonic Iron and beef peptone which are contained In Vinol.
