Acceptance of the offer of $108,000 for the plant of the St, John "Water Com pany rests with Eastern bondholders, but approval of the proposal Is antici pated by Richard W. Montague, attor ney for the water company. No definite answer having; been re ceived yet from William A. Jackson, of Chicago, who is In touch with the chief bondsmen. Mr. Montague will be un able to make a final report to the City Council today, and may ask for a few days mora time in which to hear from tho East- He said yesterday that he would report that a favorable answer Ls expected. The City of Portland has made the offer of 1108.000 as a compromise, the first proposal of the city to the St. Johns Water Company being $100,000 in reply to the demand of the company for $109,650. In the face of the positive assertion of Attorney Montague that the St. Johns Water Company would contest any attempt of the city to construct a duplicate water system In St. Johns, the Council voted Friday to increase Its offer to $108,000. Commissioner Daly planned to begin work on . dunlicate system today, but was told by City Attorney LaRoche that the company would be able to en Join the city pending a hearing on the question of the company s uumim Titialv wator franchise In St. Johns. A trial of this case. Mr. LaKoche point ed out. would take possibly three years. In the meantime the company wouiu continue to furnish water In the dis trict at present rates, wnicn are con siderably higher than those prevailing In the rest of Portland. The delay would cost the people of St. Johns $40, 000 In excess water charges and the city a heavy sum for- lire protection service. An ordinance authorlxintr the sale or $125 000 In water bonds with which to purchase the St. Johns plant or build a new one was passed Friday. The compromise offered by the city falling but $1550 lower than' the original amount demanded by the com pany Mr. Montague anticipates little opposition to the sale among the bond holdera. " .

It's wholly a matter of blood-current and tissue cells, and everybody knows that sturdiness and vigor in these regards depend largely on good, nourishing food. Much of the food in the ordinary dietary is lacking in certain vitalizing elements which Na ture has designed for sturdy growth and resist ance to disease. Especially is this true of white bread and white flour foods, because in making flour white most of the energizing mineral phos phates of the grain are thrown out in the milling process. These vital elements are retained in the scien tifically prepared food Grape-Mel Made of whole wheat and barley, this food pro vides all the nutriment of the grain, including those vitalizing phosphates that mean everything in building up and maintaining a robust, vigorous ody and keen intellect.
