THE 3IORXIXG OKEGOXIAX, THURSDAY, DECEMCER, 18, 1910. WASHINGTONAGTIDN New Victor Records for holiday dances n f t 1VM tie me e o .cer Official Ratification of Amend ment Recorded. DRY STANDS am REFERENDUM MOVE FAILS Anion oT Legislature, Taken on Fir. Day of Session, Not Af fected by Litigation. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 17. (Spe cial.) Washington has officially rati fied the national prohibition amend ment without waiting for a referen dum vote in 1920. Completion of the official canvass of referendum petitions by the sec retary ofr state today finds' the peti lion 1668 names short of the total of "L',K57 names of legal voters necessary to invoke a referendum. The total sig natures on the petitions counted to day is ao."j89. Both houses of the Washington legislature last winter adopted a reso lution ratifying the national dry amendment on the first day of the session. A referendum was filed ;igninst this resolution soon after the legislature adjourned by John l' Murphy, attorney in this state for tho nssoeiated wine grape growers of Cal ifornia, t'pon advice of the attorney general, T. M. Howell, secretary of state, rejected the filing, but as tho result of subsequent litigation the supreme court held a ratification resi lution sublet to referendum with other acts of the legislature. Attorneys for the grape growers, who had subsequently been joined by distillery and brewing interests, filed their referendum petitions on the last day of the statutory period of 30 days following adjournment of the legisla ture, but before the official check of signatures had been completed they brought an action in the supreme court to compel the counting of names of petitioners who hud permitted their registration to lapse by failing to vote at the last election. This question was decided against the referendum supporters by the su preme court and a rehearing denied a few days ago, since when the secre tary of state has resumed the canvass witii the result announced today. As no further court action is believed possible, it is officially considered that Washington is legally listed with the states that have registered their prohibition ratifications with the sec retary of state of the United States at Washington.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU BUY BUY EARLY IN THE MORNINGS THEN A MERRY XMAS 1920 Budget Provides $600; Mann Favors Appropriation : About 40 Free Cases Handled Daily. ApDeal for an added appropriation of $1200 for the operation of the free dispensary and clinic at Fourth and Jefferson was made before the city council yesterday by a committee composed of Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, Miss Helen Pritchard and Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett. The council allowed the institution $600 in the 1920 budget to defray ex penses, but the delegation explained that last year in addition to $600 al lowed from the general fund, the dis pensary was given $400 worth of med icine from the health bureau and also was given $300 toward payment of an extra nurse employed by the organi zation. Dr. Mackenzie explained that the dispensary handled the cases of about 40 indigent persons each day and the work of the dispensary was one of the most worthy conducted in the city. The sum asked in addition to the regular appropriation, he ex plained, was small and he urged the city to give the matter favorable con sideration. Commissioner Mann announced that he would introduce an ordinance pro viding for the appropriation asked. Commissioners Barbur and Bigelow announced that they would insist upon time to consider the matter. VANCOUVER HAS NO GAS Skating on Columbia Stopped, but Ice Is Xot Yet Breaking XTp. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Dec. 17. (Special.) Although warm weather has prevailed for the last 24 hours and rain has fallen, ice in the Colum bia river has not started to break up. Skating has been stopped by water on the surface of the ice. In addition to much damage that resulted today from leaking roofs, Vancouver was without gas, due to freezing of the main between this city and Portland. Restaurants that depended wholly on gas for cooking purposes closed their doors and the newspaper, being untble to heat metal in its linotype machines, re turned to the hand-setting process. Vancouver streets were being cleared of snow through the use of road graders drawn by a gasoline tractor. OREGON GETS PENSIONS Postoffices at Three Towns May Be Discontinued Soon.

Mead's Rhode Island Reds Are Declared to Be Best Show a and Prize Is Awarded.' All prizes in the poultry show com petition at the auditorium were awarded yesterday with the exception of the ranking prize for the best dozen eggs displayed. So close was the competition between two assort ments that the judges were obliged to wait for daylight to assist them in making the decision. The big prize of the show, $50 in cash, was awarded to a Portland man, W. H. Mead. 6023 One Hundred and First street Southeast, for his collec tion of Rhode Island Reds. This breed had the largest representation for the How to get full value In past years, eighty per cent of the men who came to a clothing store called for a garment by price or by color. Many men knew how much they would pay; others knew what color they would take. Now men call for a garment by the name of the maker. They are satis fied to compromise on color to get quality. They are willing to pay a little more to get full value for every dollar. They want to know what's back of the color, what the price really means in quality. Yon don't judge an automobile by the color it is painted. You want to know who made it. Clothes must now be bought the same way. Don't part with your money until you know the name of the maker, until you are sure of genuine quality and real value. She HOUSE OF KUPPENHEIMER 4 National Clothes SeroLce, Sold Exclusively in Portland by the reason that the auditorium show is the official show of the westrn divi sion of the Rhode Island Red club of America.

The poultry show will be open on Sunday, since its opening was delayed one day because of the weather.

After discontinuance of trains for ten days under the order of the rail road administration for reduction of service 30 per cent to conserve fuel, the railroads centering at Portland resumed normal conditions at 12:01 A. M. today. The curtailment of service for ten days was a fortunate circumstance, as one official expressed it, because it lessened the number of trains that had to be handled in the storm period, never excelled In severity, and did not greatly impair the facilities for a number of days more than it would otherwise have been interrupted. All trains discontinued will be re placed today. All restrictions on travel are removed. GUARD SUPPORT FAVORED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DI RECTORS OX RECORD. General Pershing Asked to Extend Stay In Portland to Permit of Ceremonies. Directors of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday went on record as favoring providing necessary funds for maintaining the Oregon national guard. It was the opinion that the state should finance the needs of the organization, but if it fails to do so the directors were unanimous in recommending that the county com missioners include in the budget suf ficient to supply the fund. It is es timated that 111.000 will be necessary. The directors discussed at some length the unemployment situation and approved the action of the com mittee created to handle details for placing ex-service men in jobs. It was the consensus of opinion that General Pershing be urged to extend the time allotted for his Port land visit in order that the people through the various organizations may have an opportunity to pay their tribute to the commander of the American forces overseas. Judge C. H. Carey, chairman of the entertain ment committee, called a meeting of representatives of various interested organizations, including the American Legion, Pershing's rifles, the veterans of foreign wars, and others to meet with liiui at noon today to consider plans for entertainment of the visi tor a month hence. Numerous tele grams were sent yesterday urging the general to remain here one more day, as the few hours allotted is deemed insufficient for adequate pub lic ceremonies. College Defies Cold.
