MORE PAY PROPOSED
Multnomah Board Would Get
$250 a Month Under Bill.
OTHER INTERESTS FORBID
Measure's Champions Point Out Big
Responsibilities Imposed and Great
Amounts Expended Each Year
in County Business.
A measure Is to be introduced In the
coming Legislature to increase the
salaries of .the Multnomah County Com
missioners from $150 to 250 a month.
It will be among the measures af'
fecting Multnomah County that proba
bly will be discussed at the first meet
ing of the Multnomah delegation, to be
held at the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday night.
The measure Is not likely to name
Multnomah County specif ically. but
will provide that the salaries of Com
missioners in counties of 100.000 or
more inhabitants shall be $250 a month.
This amounts to the same thing. Mult
nomah being the only county having
100,000 or more Inhabitants, and is the
favorite method of wording legislation
affecting this county.
Rufus Holman, Philo Holbrook, and
A. A. Muck are the three Commission
ers whose salaries would be increased
if the bill is passed. Commissioners
Holman and Holbrook are now in of
fice and Commissioner-elect Muck will
succeed Commissioner W. L. Lightner
on January 1.
In behalf of the County Commission
ers, it is argued that the office of
County Commissioner of Multnomah
County Is even more important than
that of a member of the Portland City
Council, who gets $5000 a year, and
that a reasonably good salary should
be paid. It is pointed out that the
County Commissioners each year spend
from $2,000,000 to 3,ooo.ooo of the
county's money, and last year, on ac
count of the Columbia Highway road
bond issue, spent more than $4,000,000.
With such heavy responsibilities,
proponents of the salary increase meas
ure contend, the salary should be made
commensurate with the Job.
It is understood that the measure
will provide that under the proposed
$250 a month salary, County Commis
sioners must devote all their time to
the county and drop outside business
ventures. At present the Commission
ers get $150 a month, but may devote
as much or as litle time as they please
to other business.

Space for basketball will be made. Mrs.
J. E. Waggoner ia president of the as
sociation. William L. Flnley, of Port
land, State Game Warden, will give a
lecture before the Parent-Teacher As
eociation and school In January.
SOME CHRISTMAS PROBLEMS
FIND THEIR WAY INTO PRINT
Addison Bennett Hears Stories of Faults and Foibles Which Sound Amusing
to AH but the Principals.
BT ADDISON BENNETT.
Fault of Delivery Company.
TAST YEAK, ' eald the old bache
, lor to his married friend. "1
raffled my Christmas presents
off. . Instead of buying certain things
for certain persons I figured up how
many friends I wished to remember,
wrote the names- all down and num
bered them, from 1 to 27. Then I went
shopping and purchased 27 articles at
50 cents each. I wrapped each article
up and numbered these packages from
1 to 27. Placing each set of numbers
in a separate hat I blindfolded myself
and drew the numbers out, one from
each hat. and as I did so I wrote the
name and address of the lucky ones
on the corresponding packages."
"How did it work out?" asked his
friend.
"I don't exactly know," replied the
bachelor, for I went East a few days
before Christmas and left the packages
with a delivery company for delivery
the day before Christmas. When I re
turned a few months ago tried to
find, out how the scheme worked out
but 'as not one of the 27 would even
recognize me I have an idea the de
livery company made a mess of it. Any
how this Christmas I am going to give
the $13.50 to a charitable organization
and let It do the giving and worry
ing." And Now They Don't Speak.
Edith: "What are you going to give
Clarence for a Christmas gift this
year?"
Blanche: "Oh, I don't know; maybe a
dill pickle."
Edith: "Why not eat the pickle and
give him one of your sweetest smiles?"
Overheard at the Cafeteria.
" Jinks: "This selection of Christmas
presents is no infant's Job, let me tell
you; I got in dutch last year by giving
a red-headed girl a pair of gloves that
proved to be the exact color of her
hair!"
Blinks: "That was nothing; I gave
my rich aunt, whose half million 1
hoped to inherit, an elaborate silver
hair recelvei and she is bald-headed!"
Christmas and the Colored Folks.
The colored people lay great store
upon Christmas. To them It is the big
day of the year, which is particularly
true of the children of that race. This
is shown plainly by the Sunday School
attendance, which wanes suddenly in
January, fades in the Spring and sinks
almost to zero by the late Summer and
early Fall. As the holiday season ap
proaches it fattens up, and about this
time every year the delinquent and
tardy are all on hand.
I Last Sunday afternoon an East Side
school had been dismissed, two of the
boys, each about IS years old, were out
on a vacant lot at play when one of
them accidentally hit the other in the
face with a stick, causing . quite a
wound, and one that bled freely. The
wounded boy did not lose his presence
of mind. He worked away at the gash
trying to stop the flow of blood, but
he could not do it. Holding his hand
kerchief up to the gash ne said to his
companion: "Rastus, you an me is
gwine down to my house and we'se
gwlne to tell my mudder that I' felled
down and cut this. That's wot we'll
tell her and evverybuddy, for you see
it's only one more Sunday to Christ
mas and I'll try to believe it myself
ontwill early tho day after Christ
mas, when I"se gwine to give you
the cussedeBt lickin' enny mnaer ewer
got in dig 'ere town, and after that
for evvery word you speak to me I'll
give you two swift kicks in the sljits."
THIRD PROUTY WILL FILED
Instrument Brawn in 1903 Only
Presented for Record.
A third will of the late H. H. Prouty
bobbed up yesterday, when Attorney
Milton W. Smith filed with the County
Court a will he drew up May 23. 1903.
It was filed merely to be on record,
as it is not the last will.
In this will, Mr. Prouty left the major
portion of his estate, as he did in the
will which is being contested, to the
Salvation Army. He left Carl Reginald
Prouty, the son who is fighting the
validity of the last will. $3000 in trust
for the furtherance of his education.
His son was about 15 years old then.
Carl Prouty was left $10,000 in trust
until he was 35 in the last will, which
he is contending waa executed under
undue Influence and when his father
was laboring under Insane delusions.
MANY GASES NOT SET
ATTORNEYS FAIL, TO APPEAR BE
FORE PRESIDING JUDGE.
Litigants Not Represented Wnen; Call
Is Made Thursday Will Lose
Standing In Court.
I '
Attorneys for 24 cases being unrea
sonably tardy for the first setting of
cases for 1917 under the new presiding
Judge system of the Circuit Court.
Circuit Judge Gantenbein yesterday
fixed the trial dates of only 36 of the
60 cases called. The others will be
called again at 9 o'clock Thursday
morning, and if the attorneys are not
in attendance they will be stricken
from the docket.
Tho announcement of Judge Ganten
bein was that the cases would be
called at 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
but only a handful of lawyers were on
hand at that time. There should have
been at least 120 attorneys in the
courtroom If all the cases were repre
sented. The Jurist postponed the as
signment until 9:30, but even at that
hour all were not present. The docket
was called, however, and those arriv
ing later were, told to come back
Thursday.
A case pansed a second time and
stricken from the docket will not be
called until a new application is filed
with the clerk of the court.
Judge Gantenbein announced yes
terday that cases pending from the
1 1916 assignments by lot will be as
signed in 1917 to the Judges now hear
ing them, unless there be some good
reason for doing otherwise.
