JITNEYS DECLARED
GLARING VIOLATORS
Mr. Daly Says Special Fran
chises Seems Only Way to
Curb Delinquent Drivers.
COMMISSIONERS ARE UNIT
Attempt to Keep Track of Individual
Operators Would Entail Too
Great Cost but Regular Serv
ice Will Be Compelled.
Commissioner Daly told the City
Council yesterday that it was impos
sible to regulate jitneys as they are
operating- at present. The only solu
tion of the problem, he said, was to
put them on a franchise basis to give
individuals or companies franchises
conditioned on dependable service.
This was his declaration at a special
Council meeting, at which a proposed
taxicab and jitney ordinance was con
sidered. Pending the working out of
an ordinance for jitney franchises this
other ordinance was put in cold storage.
Some of the difficulties experiences
In trying to regulate the jitneys to
force reliable service were brought to
the attention of the Council by drivers
of taxicabs and "for rent" automobiles.
It was shown that the jitneys were
disregarding the provision in the pres
ent ordinance that requires them to
operate at least eight hours a day. It
is asserted that they operate just as
they please, jumping from the jitney
business to the taxicab business when
ever a paying proposition is made.
It was said that only one in five of
the licensed jitneys are trying to give
a full eight hours' service.
Control Declared Impractical.
"It is impossible to control the Jit
neys when they operate as individuals,"
said Commissioner Daly. "It can be
done at a tremendous cost, but not
otherwise. It seems to me that the
only solution of the problem is to put
the jitneys on a franchise basis, giv
ing a franchise to individuals or con
cerns which will be responsible for an
adequate service. My idea is to have
a separate franchise to each route."
"From a public standpoint," said
Mayor Albee, "the jitney should not
be permitted to digress from its route.
The way the proposition works out, the
machines leave their routes to enter
into service as private cars, carrying
passengers sometimes on long trips out
of the city and leaving the patrons on
the Jitney route to go without service
that the Jitney driver is pledged under
the city ordinance to give."
Unfairness la IVoted.
"It is the wrong principle," sal& Com.
missioner Dieck. "The streetcar com
pany has gone into the various parts
of the city and developed business by
enabling the building up of these dis
tricts. Now comes a new concern and
takes away the profitable part of the
company's business without giving a
reliable service in exchange."
"It is no service where the machines
leave their routes to go on side trips,"
aid Commissioner Baker.
LAKE TO LURE TOURIST
EASTERN" OREGON HOTELMEN LAV
PUNS TO SWELL. TRAVEL.
Vallona Lake to Be Magnet That
Will Be Emphasized, and New
Association Is Formed.
LA GRANDE, Or.. June 6. (Special.)
Further repair and maintenance of
the historic toll-gate road from Elgin
to Walla Walla, greater publicity of
tne scenic wonders of Wallowa Lake at
Joseph and virile movements to make
Eagle Cap, Wallowa Lake and o'.her
scenic beauty spots of Wallowa Lake
a Federal park were set in motion here
at a convention of hotelmen of Union
and Wallowa counties.
After full discussion it was decided
to use Wallowa Lake as the scenic
loadstone to attract travel, and with
that in mind the association was chris
tened Wallowa Lake Tourist Travel As
sociation. The roster of membership
will be opened to any permanent citi
zen of either county who will promise
to give a little of his time to the cause
of putting Eastern Oregon's natural
resources to the front. Hotelmen, ga
ragemen and others interested directly
in a business way will bear the expenses
of the association, but a good live
membership for the association is an
ticipated and desired.
A motion prevailed to appeal to Rep
resentative Sinnott and Senator Cham
berlain for assistance in taking the
first steps toward creating a Federal
park in Wallowa County, including the
lake and a large section of the moun
tainous country about Eagle Cap.

BOYCOTT BANNERS HIT
COMMISSIONER DALY ADMITS VE
HICLES ARE DETRIMENT.
Proposed New Traffic Ordinance Ar
ranged Relative to Parkins; Be
tween Honra 0 A. M. to 8 P. M.
Unconsciously Commissioner Daly
yesterday opened up the fight again
on boycott-banners in the business dis
trict. He made a motion to include In
a proposed new traffic ordinance a pro
vision to prohiDit the drawing of ad
vertising vehicles and carrying of
large banners about the streets. He
announced that these affairs are a seri
ous detriment to traffic. His sugges
tion was that all banners over three
feet square be prohibited.
"Why exempt the smaller banners?"
asked Commissioner Baker. "It seems
to me that the same rule covers both
propositions. I have seen old men
risking their lives in the center of
traffic carrying these banners. They
certainly are a detriment to traffic as
well as a danger to the people who
carry them."
"They are different," said Commis
sioner Daly. "The carriers of these ban
ners can dodge about and keep out of
the way. It is true, however, that on
some streets they are a detriment."
Mr. Daly suggested that It might be
well to keep all advertising banners
off Washington and Morrison streets
unless they move at a rate of not less
than 10 miles an hour. City Attorney
LaRoche was instructed to prepare a
proposed amendment to this effect.
The proposed new traffic ordinance
was tentatively arranged to prohibit
the parking of automobiles or other
vehicles between 9 A. M. and 8 P. M.
on Washington or Morrison streets in
the main congested district, and also
to prohibit parking on Broadway and
Fifth streets between Washington and
Stark streets.
It was decided also to amend the
provision regarding automobiles stand
ing on streets so that they may stand
for an indefinite period, provided the
driver remains in the car. At present
the stops are limited to 30 minutes.
The ordinance will be put in shape by
City Attorney LaRoche and returned
to the Council for passage.

NEARING THE END
If there had been no war
if the shortage in dyes, drugs, chemicals and hundreds of other things
which it occasioned had not sent prices soaring to the skies ;
if there had not been the same serious increase in the price of paper,
leather, printing ink (and an actual famine of some sorts of binding
materials); '
if the publishers of the Britannica had not suddenly been confronted
with the problem not only of heavily increased costs, but also of a scarcity
in India paper and of binding leathers, so that they had to notify us that
our present contract with them could not be renewed, we might have gone
on selling the new "Handy Volume" Issue of the Britannica at the present
low prices for a long while, as we had intended. ' ,
This is impossible. . In spite of the enormous printing which we had
arranged for
(which made it possible for us to sell the complete new unabridged
Eleventh Edition of the Britannica, in a small-page form, at one-third
the price of the larger-page Cambridge University issue)
the issue has been taken so rapidly that only a small number of sets now
remain and we cannot secure any more at anything like present prices.
For such further sets as we shall be able to obtain we shall have to in-
crease the price by $11 per set for the cheaper bindings to $19 per set for
the more expensive bindings
(and there is no telling how long even these prices can be main
tained) .
We wish to give the public full warning. More than 200,000 persons
have written us to ask for our large illustrated 130-page descriptive book
about the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the new "Handy Volume" Issue.
This means that a tremendous number will come rushing in at the last minute.
We send the entire 29 volumes upon the payment of a single
dollar. Then you have three weeks with the books in your own
home to make up your mind they are just what you want. (See our
unconditional guarantee.)
But only ten days remain ten working days.
Ob June 17th at 7.33 p. m. our offer la closed.
Any order postmarked before that day, date and hour, we will endeavor to
fill if possible, though we cannot guarantee any particular style of binding
unless your order is sent immediately. ,

AN ASTONISHING HISTORY
For two years short of a century and a half the standard
the foremost work of reference in all the world
its new edition costing more than any other work of reference ever
published in any language, and forming the newest and most complete
compend of human knowledge that exists. .
nearly 75,000 sets of this new edition sold already, involving a total
Of $14,000,000 for one new edition of a single work
bringing the total sale since its beginning 148 years ago up to over
a million sets, representing a total of over $100,000,000
(and a total of more volumes sold than any other work ever pub
lished with perhaps the single exception of the English Bible and
Shakespeare)
a work that has engaged the collaboration of more distinguished men
the greatest minds of each generation than any other work ever pub
lished in any language
a work that for 14S years has never had a rival in its own language and
has never had an equal in any other.
Need any more be said ?
This is the record of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. From the days of
Sir Walter Scott, of Lord Jeffrey and Thomas Young, it has been counted
an honor to be invited to write for this distinguished work, and the most
eminent men of each successive period have written its articles,
not merely the most distinguished minds of English-speaking peoples,
in Great Britain, in America, but many of the foremost authorities of other
nations as well.
Far back the famous Arago and Biot, two of the most eminent of French
men of science, set the fashion, and since that time there have been con
tributions from the distinguished men of almost every nation in Europe
to the new Eleventh Edition contribute many of the foremost minds of
Germany, like Harnack, Ostwald, Meyer, Driesch, Verworn and Nernst ; of
Holland, like Lorentz, Van Der Waals and van't Hoff; of France, like
Babelon, Bemont, Esmein, Luchaire ; of Italy, like Villari ; of Sweden, like
Kansen ; of Japan, like Kikuchi ; of Russia, like Prince Kropotkin ; and so
on throughout the list.
Yet, in spite of all this high scholarship, in spite of its unquestioned
authority, the Encyclopaedia Britannica is an eminently practical and useful
book full of interest and unexpected charm, and expressly designed to
meet the needs of busy men and women of today.
And this is the work which you can now obtain for the first time
the new edition, absolutely complete, not one of its 30,000 pages
changed by a line, at a popular price (only one-third that charged for
the larger page Cambridge University issue of identically the same
work)
the complete work sent you upon the payment of a single dollar.
After that easy monthly payments, according to the style of binding
you select.
You are the judge
your family the jury!
Remember, that when you sign the
