EVANS i Action of County Commissioners In Voting $18,000 for Employes Held Unwarranted by Law. An annual increase of more than 116.000 voted by county commission ers March 31 to raise salaries of county employes, because of which action certain department heads up t for re-election this year have been ' enjoying considerable popularity in their respective quarters, received a tody blow yesterday with the sub mission of an opinion of District At torney Evans to the commissioners holding their action illegal. Salaries of deputies in county of fices have been fixed by- statute and the commissioners have no power to raise amounts paid above the limit specified, unless and this was the one grain of hope held out to the county employes department heads requesting such increases certify to he commission that the high cost of KvJngr makes it impossible to get competent help at the salaries now "being paid. Persons of some ability tn inferior positions who would wel come the opportunity to get on the county payroll at salaries now being riven might, however, prove a serious obstacle to such certification. Political Move Charged. One of the county commissioners lias dubbed the recent general in crease a pure political move and has announced that he will require proof that reliable, competent workers can not be obtained at present salaries before he will approve a new sea J,", even with the legal requirements ful filled. The opinion of Mr. Evans does not affect the increases given janitors, state-tenders, ferry employes, tele phone operators and certain stenog raphers, whose salaries were not fixed by statute, but does affect the assist ants In' the main county offices. . The new schedule of salaries in the county was adopted by the commis sioners March 31, "providing that the county auditor finds the same to be within the statutory authority rela tive to salaries in Multnomah coun ty." County Auditor Martin made in quiry of District Attorney Evans, and the opinion submitted yesterday to the commission by the auditor was the result. Salaries Held Limited. In the opinion, drafted by George Mowry, deputy district attorney, it is pointed out that the salaries of depu ties and assistants In most county offices are limited by Chapter 101 of the 1919 session laws, and that the commissioners in increasing wages lave no right to go beyond the limit thus fixed by statute. The office of Sheriff Hurlburt is taken for an illustration. There 37 deputies now receiving $125 are sched uled for an increase to $145, or $20 a month. The law provides that the sheriff may employ 11 deputies at not to exceed $150 a month and 37 at salaries not to exceed $125. It is not permissible to raise the 37 to the class in which only 11 deputies are allowed, in the opinion of the CJ strict attorney. "If it is possible for the sheriff to get deputies at $125 who can and will perform properly and expeditiously the duties iiltherto performed by 37 deputies, it must be done," it is de dared. "If the county commission rs are satisfied that this is not pos sible it has power to add, at the re Ouest and recommendation of the sheriff, to the class next above what ver deputies may actually be neces sary, it might be 37 or less, depend tug on actual needs." Many Deputies Concerned. This ruling is held to apply to ail deputies, with the probable exception f the chief deputies. The heaviest increases provided in the new schedule which is nullified ly this opinion were: 37 deputy sher v. ju i s, xi aepuiy county assessors, iu M deputy county clerks, and 8 deputy constables from $12a to $145 a month, em Uputy county clerk from $140 to $150. and two cashiers in the tax de partment from $135 to $150.

An appeal for clemency from Robert Lees, supported by a tearful mother, won a parole for him Tuesday when he pleaded guilty to forgery before Presiding Cirouit Judge McCort. His parole was short-lived, however, for it was revoked yesterday and a new sentence of 18 months in. the peniten tiary without a parole" attached was given. Judge McCort. immediately after extending leniency to the young man, learned that Lees, under the alias of Larry Evans, was awaiting trial for the theft of an automobile in com pany with other young men. He called Lees before him yesterday aft ernoon and demanded to know the truth of the new accusation. "Well, sir, I was in the automobile all right when I was arrested but I was only taking a ride with the oth ers I didn't know it was stolen," ex plained the culprit. The excuse was old and Dan Pow ers, attorney for Lees, refused to make further plea for consideration as the prisoner had not told him of this when pleading to forgery. Dep uty District Attorney Graham report ed that under the alias of Larry Evans and Edward Evans, Lees had given the police much trouble during the last year. Sentence on the for gery charge followed. In view of this, the automobile larceny charge probably will be dismissed.

"The EarlvL Irish Missionary Movement" OREGON CITY MAN FORCED TO GIVE UP Health Was So Bad He Could Not Work Tanlac Puts Him Back on Feet. 'It's a fact, my health got so bad I had to give up my trade, but since taking Tanlac I have gained twelve pounds in weight and have not felt better fn years," was the statement made recently by Samuel H. Johnson, well-known painter living at Ore gon City, Or. For the past seven years my stom ach and kidneys have been all out of order and often I was so bad off I had to stay In bed three and four days at a time. My appetite had about gone and sometimes I went for several days without touching a bite. My stomach was so upset that often I wasn't able to retain even water or milk, much less anything solid. would bloat all up with gas and my heart would palpitate so terribly became alarmed for fear I had heart trouble. Every few days I had awful sickening headaches and most of the time there was a mean taste in my mouth. My kidneys worried me con stantly and I had a severe pain In my back that kept me awake many a night trying to get relief. My complexion turned as yellow a pumpkin and finally I got so bad off I couldn't do any hard work and had to give up my trade as a painter. "That was the condition I was in at the time I got hold of Tanlac, and I want to Bay right now, I have never seen anything to equal It and I have tried all sorts of medicine. My stom ach feels like new and I have the finest kind of appetite and it makes no difference what I eat I can digest it without any trouble at all. My kidneys don '."Dot her me any more and the pain has left my back entire ly. Those sickening headaches have been broken up altogether. I now have a good, healthy color and as I said, I am twelve pounds heavier. My health is better than It has been in many years and I am feeling so fine I am planning to go back to my old trade of painting." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Cj. Adv.
