vate capital under control and regula
tion hv the state or the Government
and at the same time safeguard trie in
terests of the consumers Is favored by
the executive, committee of the board
of directors of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce.
This expression from the local com
mercial body waa made yesterday In
responding to the request of tho United
States Chamber of Commerce for a
referendum vote on ten material ques
tions pertinent to the essential provi
sions thst should be Incorporated In
such an Important legislative act by
Congress.
Proposed legislation Studied.
Testerdsy's vote wss based on re
ports previously filed by two sub-com
mittees, one composed ot experienced
engineers and the other being: tho
chamber's leajislstive committee, of
which John r. limy is cnairnian. rtom
of these committees made an exhaust
ive study of the proposed legislation
with especial reference to conditions in
this state and the need for the imme
diate utilisation and development of the
vast water powers of this section.
The members of the committee unan
imously voted in the affirmative on
each ot the ten questions submitted
and embracing the following general
policies:
That Federal legislation encourag
ing the development of water powers
should at once be enacted.
That authority to grant permits
should be vested in an administrative
department or commission.
That the life of the permit should
be at least 50 years, any shorter time
being at the option of the applicant.
That tolls should attach only to use
of public lands or benefits derived from
headwater improvements.
That permittees should be entitled
to acquire the right to use public
lands forming only a email and incl
dental part of the development.
That recapture be exercised only
upon payment of fair and just com
pensation.
Investment Needs Protection.
That if recapture Is not exercised, the
Investment of the permittee should be
adequately protected.
That rates and service should be
regulated by state commissions when
the service Is Intra-state, with Federal
regulations only when several atates
are directly concerned and do not
agree, or there Is no state commissloV
That if any Jurisdiction to regulate
the issuance of securities Is exercised
it should be solely by the state.
That no preference should be granted
as between applicants amounting to a
subsidy from the Government, creating
unequal competition.

KELLAHER'S REVUE OFF
BATHING St IT EXHIBITION
NOT BE GIVEN.
WILL
Display of Live Models Never A
Contemplated by City Council,
Say a Mayor Baker.
Mayor Baker yesterday put a quietus
on the talk of an official exhibition
of bathing suits. He said the propo
sition apparently was started by some
one as a Joke, but has got beyond the
point where there is any real humor
in it.
"It has been made to appear," said
the Mayor yesterday, "that th ques
tion of exhibiting live models to de-
terminev the best bathing suits to buy
for women was an official matter. Out
side of a little jesting in the Council
meeting a week ago, which I ordered
stricken from the record at the time,
nothing has been done or said offi
cially.
"The city is in the market for bath
ing suits for next season and there has
been no discussion of taking anything
but the customary course in selecting
the suits. That course is to advertise
for bids. No proposal has been mado
or even suggested for the selection of
anything but the usual type of suits,
which are well within the bounds of
propriety. As far as any exhibition
of live models is concerned there has
been no reason for any statement that
such a proposition was even contem
plated. It was a joke carried to extremes."
WATER SUPPLY ADEQUATE
Portland Assured of Summer Sprink
ling: by Recent Rains.
Recent snows in the Bull Run water
reserve give assurance of an adequate
water supply for Portland next Summer,
according to a report made yesterday to
City Commissioner Mann by water serv-
ice men who have just returned from
Bull Run Lake on a tour of inspection.
It is reported that at tho lake tho
snow is from five to seven feet deep .
and varies from that to six inches over
almost the entire reserve. While this
depth is not as prreat as a year ago at
this time, it is said to be adequate to
insure plenty of water for next Summer.

WOMEN WHO FASCINATE
The art of fascination and attractive
ness in women is founded on good
health. Women who drag through long
hours, days, weeks and sometimes
months of suffering with headaches,
backache and dragging-down pains
soon wear the tell-tale expression of
woe and misery. -If every such woman
would only turn to that good old-fashioned
root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, to al
leviate such ailments it would surely
prove the greatest aid to health and
consequent beauty that she has ever
known. Adv. ' -
