Even With So-Called Burdens Lift
ed Company Would Still Face
Serious Shortage.
A compilation of figures showing
a increase in. the annual deficit of
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
company from 1,020.000 to Jl.260.000
were submitted to the special trans
portation committee of the city council
yesterday by City Engineer Laurgaard,
together with a table of figures show
ing that the taxpayers of Portland
could relieve the company of $332,443
annually if the voters should author
lie relief from various so-called bur
dens. The deficit faced annually by the
traction company had be-en estimated
by J. P. Newell, former expert traffic
engineer employed by the city, at
$1,020,000. This figure, however, did
not take into account deferred main
tenance of paved areas, estimated at
$30,000 a year, deferred replacement
of pavement estimated to cost J6o6,
S00 during the. next three years, new
pavement to be laid during the pres
ent year estimated to cost $150,000,
now pavement after 1920 estimated at
$603,915, nor reconstruction of pres
ent pavement, which is estimated to
cost $2,554,235 during period of
20 years hence.
Deficit, Even Them, Rtmaiia.
The report of Engineer Laurgaard
shows that if the voters should lift
the so-called burdens as outlined In
his report, the company would still
be facing a deficit of . $927,565 which
probably -would have to be met
through an increase of fare.
Based on the records of the com
pany. Engineer Laurgaard held that
the remaining deficit could probably
be absorbed through an advance of
one cent over the present fare and a
1-cent transfer charge. Relief from
these burdens would avoid the neces
sity of an eight-cent fare or higher
charge for carrying passengers on
the city lines, according to the city
engineer.
Deputy City Attorneys Latourette
and Tomlinson were not prepared to
submit a second legal opinion on the
legality wf relieving the traction com
pany of the so-called burdens and
were instructed to report to the com
mittee at a meeting scheduled for this
afternoon.
Cost to City Estimated.
The tabulation submitted by Engi
neer Laurgaard shows that if the pro
posed relief to the company is granted
on, the basis of his estimates, the cost
to city annually would average $332.
445 and, spread over a 20-year period,
wjulti reach a maximum of $518,209
or nunimmn of $160,333.

JUNGE SENDS ULTIMATUM
AUXO TRCCK DEALER MAY
: FIGHT EXTRAU1TIOX.
"Prisoner Objects to Coming to
Portland With. At alt noma It Dep
utyReason Not Known.
Tf allowed- to return to Portland in
the company of a deputy sheriff from
Scotland, S. D., August Junge would
come without a struggle, but if an of
ficer from Portland was sent for him
he- would fight extradition was the
ultimatum presented yesterday in the
latest telegram from authorities In
Scotland, where Junge, local automo
bie truck dealer, is being held on a
defalcation charge preferred here.
As Deputy Sheriff Schirmer has al
ready been dispatched to South Da
kota by Sheriff Hurlburt the offer
came too late, even If there was a
disposition to accept, which there was
not. The unique proposal suggested
but two explanations to the mind of
Sneriff Hurlburt. The first was that
Deputy Sheriff C. F. Treiber of Scot
land greatly desired a trip to Port
land. The second, that Junge had a
plan in mind which he could not ac
complish when in custody of a "hard
boiled" deputy from Portland.
. Extradition papers were completed
by Deputy District Attorney Maguire
yesterday and sent to Governor Olcott
for signature. They should leave for
South Dakota this morning. The
chance that Junge can fight, extradi
tion successfully is held very slight.
Junge was rearrested at the request
of the Portland officials, but another
hearing was scheduled yesterday in
which it appeared certain he would
again be allowed to give bail. Tele
graphic advices from Scotland said
that the state attorney and grand
jury had refused to place his bail
over $1000. though $15,000 is the
amount fixed in Portland on two
charges.
BAPTISTS BEGIN WORK
C ha rob. Committees Being Organ
ized for State Campaign.
Oregon Baptists, under the direc
tion of their county- chairmen, who
wre named recently, have begun ac
tive worn organizing the individual
church committees that will have
charge of the Oregon phase of the
HftDtist nation-wide campaign for
$lS.000,tt00, of which Oregon's "quota
is,l,0O0,J00. The church committees
wgi cantass every member of th
cirorch during the week of April 28
to May 2.
One of the chief objects sought by
the church in its campaign, besides
the financial strengthening and a
larger number of church workers, is
the increase of the salaries of minis
ter.";, who, as shown by the recent sur
vey taken over the entire field, re
ceive an average salary of $1.87 a day
or $683 a year.
The Baptist new world movement
is entirely separate from the lnter
church movement, but works In co
operation with It. .
Introducing
The New "Curt-Tone"
Indian Pictures
Curtis sepia photographs of the American Indian are
known from coast to coast. Now Mr. Curtis has origi
nated the distinctive Curt-tone glass Indian pictures,
which we take pleasure in presenting to Portland art
lovers.
These Curt-tone pictures are photographed directly on
the glass and have a marvelous opalescent quality, an
altogether new translucency and softness indescribably
effective. The beautiful antique gilt frames add to their
richness. The subjects chosen for this initial presenta
tion are among those in the famous "North American
Indian" Encyclopaedia, which sells at $3000.
Curt-Tone Reproductions
of Old Portraits
are veritable miracles of science combined with art. They
can reproduce the cracked and time-faded daguerreotype
of one's great-grandmother seemingly with as much ease
as a modern photograph or painting.
Here exclusively in Portland.
