VANCOUVKR, Wash.. Ausr. 14. f Spe
cial.) Until the Columbia River Jnter-
state Bridce iH actually complet-
frl and the bridge engineers dis
ftarged, the income in tolls will
"be divided aa they are now,
and have been Clarke County, two
fifths and Multnomah County three
fifths. This question was thus finally pet
tied here today at a meeting? of the
commission, attended by all members
but Governor Withycombe. who wrote
he would be unable to attend. A large
1'nited States flat is to be flown from
theb ridpe at all times.
That the bridge is a good business
proposition, on a paying basis, s.nd that
It will within a few years pay for it
self, is shown by figures submitted by
Auditor Rae.
I'roflts Are Increasing?
The income, by months, since open
ing, and what was paid by the Tort

In discussing: the equitable division
of the toll.". Walter II. Kvans. District
Attorney of Portland. aid that he had
conferred with James O. Blair. County
Attorney of Clarke County, relative to
the advisability of taking the matter
Into court. He said they always came
,. back to the beginning, that the division
i.s a matter of contract between the two
counties, and that the courts would so
. liold it, and that no matter what the
I courts held, the Bridge Commis
sion could at any time change this
arbitrary division.
Mr. Rae said he had figured out from
one standpoint that Clarke County's
chare would be three and one-half
ninths, and Multnomah's five and one
half ninths. It was shown that the
streetcar uses the bridge only, and not
the fill built by Multnomah County;
that thousands of people use the fill
from Portland to reach Columbia Beach
at no cost, and that while Clarke Coun
ty people can use this fill also they
have to pay toll on the bridge to reach
It.
Even Spilt Suggested.
A. Muck, of Multnomah County, said
that the interest on Clarke County's
bonds had been paid with money left
over from the $300,000 bond issue, while
the taxpayers of Multnomah County
had to pay already in taxes for inter
est on the bridge. $190,000.
J. P; Kiggins, Clarko County Com
missioner, humorously said that the
fair way to divide the tolls would be
half and half, as Portland business
firms are benefiting to that extent, if
not more, by the great volume of Van
couver business pulled to that city as
a. direct result of the bridge.
The Home Telephone Company was
permitted to run one line across the
bridge for use of the G. M. tStandifer
Construction Corporation. .
Kred Spoeri, of the Pacific Telephone
Telegraph Company, asked permis
sion to run aerial lines across the
bridge, to do away with 3000 feet of
cable, and thus give better service. He
feaid his company was not inclined to
Viay anything for the privilege, but
members of the Bridge Commission
held it ought to be worth something
commensurate with the service ren
dered. The bridge engineers recom
mended the proposition be rejected.
Draw Engine Does " ot Work.
The engineers have recommended
that motor generator sets be installed,
so as to make use of 11,000-volt lines to
operate the bridge draw in case the
voltage on the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company line is pulled down
by having so many cars running out
to Columbia Beach. The generator sets
would cost $5283, plus installation costs.
It developed that while the power is
now sometimes weak, there is a
gasoline engine on the draw span,
which was designed to lift the draw
In case of emergency. Dennis Camp
bell, bridge superintendent, said that
this engine has been unable to lift the
bridge recently in the hot weather,
whereupon Mr. Kiggins asked that an
Investigation be made why It will not.
The biggest day's receipts were on
July 4. when $S37.10 was collected, and
the smallest February 24, a stormy
day, $45.55. The average dally
receipts were $396.45 and the daily av
erage operating expense was $57.62. A
net profit, to be applied on interest
charges and retiring the bonds, of $54.
6&4.84, has been made, not counting the
2 per cent allowed on daily deposits.
COMMISSIONERS WILL DECIDE
District Attorneys Advise Against
Taking Case Into Court.
Advices against taking- the Inter
state bridge toll question into the
courts for settlement was given to the
Interstate Bridge Commission yester
day by District Attorney Kvans. of
Multnomah County, and District Attor
ney Blair, of Clarke County. Washing-
Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully if
you want to keep your hair looking
Its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
Th best thing for steady use Is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
which is pure and greaseless). and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
It in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses -out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
l the scalp soft and the hair fine and
' J silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
r to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will eupply every member
of th.e family; for months. Adv.

ton. .The two legral advisors informeo
the Commission that it was a question
which the members themselves must
decide and Is not one lor the courts.
The report of the attorneys was
adopted, and the toll question is now
in the same state as it was a month
ago. when County Commissioner Muck
started his flfrht against riving Clarke
County more than two-sevenths of the
profits.
At the meeting of the Commission at
Vancouver yesterday it was decided to
wait until tjie bridge is nnally com
pleted before the question ot tolls is
brought up for final determination.
The report of the bridge accountant
showed that a total of $17,353.71 was
received in tolls for July. This is the
heaviest amount received since the
bridge was opened for traffic.

sight yesterday, for the dock and the
steamer Beaver were scenes of photo

squad of "big league" photoplayers us
ing the Portland waterfront as back
ground for a number of scenes for a

wood' invaded the Beaver, and until
late in the afternoon, when atmospher
ic conditions put a halt to activities.
Director Donald Crisp had his corps
busy In dressing rooms, rehearsing.
and then posing before the grinding
cameras.
The feature of the day's filming was
the wardrobe display of Mr. Eltinge,
most famous of all female imperson
ators. He left New York for the film
capital, Los Angeles, with 36 new
gowns, creations which not be gener
ally worn until next Fall, and, with the
aid of his Jap valet, Shima, donned a
number of them for the public to behold
through the eyes of the camera.
Last night Mr. Eltinge made two per
sonal appearances at the Peoples The
ater, where his pictures are later to be
exhibited. Ho made a hit with the
fans in. a short' talk, commenting on
his motion picture experience, and pro
claiming his subjugation by the silent
drama.
Following the theater talks, the star
and his company were guests of the
Multnomah Hotel at a supper given in
celebration of their photoplay-produc
ing invasion of Oregon.
The. schedule for this morning calls
for a number of additional scenes
aboard the Beaver, to be followed by a
trip up the Columbia River Highway,
where the cameras will be stationed at
various points for additional scenes.
At 3 o'clock the party will leave on
the Beaver for California. Footage
