BOND BILL VISITOR
P. H. Carlyon Opposed to
"Pay as You Go" Plan.
$30,000,000 ISSUE IS UP
Voters of Washington to Decide
"Whether Roads Shall All Be
Surfaced at Once.
P. Ft. rlyon, author of the $30,
00,000 road bill which -the voters of
Washington will adopt or reject No
vember 2, was in Portland" yesterday.
Mr. Carlyon is of the opini that the
people of Oregon are as Interested in
seeing Washington have a compre
hensive highway system as they are
in developing such a system in Ore
gon, for the more .good roads that
are offered to tourists the greater
will be the attractions of the Pacific
northwest to the motorist.
"The 'pay-as-you-go' system," de
clared Mr. Carlyon yesterday, "means
detours, and everyone dislikes de
tours. On the 'pay-as-you-go' plan,
only a little dab of work can be done
each year. Instead of waiting a gen
eration for a completed system of
highways, we want to issue enough
bonds to have the roads' built now.
Only Surfacing Provided.
"If this $30,000,000 road bill Is ap
proved by the Washington voters, the
main highways of Washington cas
be surfaced. This bond issue Is in
tended to provide for surfacing only.
The grades will be paid for from the
state public highway fund- The bonds,
like the road bonds in. Oregon, will
be paid for by the license fees of the
automobile owners. This year Wash
ington has received from these
licenses $2,700,000.
"When the bill was presented It
was estimated that the $30,000,000
would complete all of the highways
at the prices then prevailing. Since
then there has been an advance in the
prices of labor and material and it
may be necessary to use a little fed
eral aid to complete the job.
1516 Milca Involved.
"The bill is intended to surface
151C miles of roads. Of this mileage
there is now paved or under contract
264 miles. If the bill passes, the Pa
cific highway will be completed in
1921. with the exception of a few
spots which may be too soft to pave.
7'here are 100 miles of the Pacific
highway, north and south, yet to 'be
paved. Oregon is especially inter
ested In the completion of this road,
for it connects with the Pacific high
way in Oregon, which In turn, con
nects with the Pacific highway in
California. There is a considerable
territory in Washington, south of Se
attle, which is tributary to Portland
over the Pacific highway.
"Under the provisions of the bill,
which is known in Washington as
reierendum bill No. 1, a paved high
way will run to every corner of the
late and there will be highways east
and west across the center. It is
planned to start work paving several
of these highways at the same time,
thus road work will be in progress
in the Spokane, Walla Walla, Yakima
and Chelan sections simultaneously.
Some day the highway on the Wash
ington side of the Columbia also will
be pushed to completion, and it will

day.
be as scenic as the famous Columbia
highway, but that ' will be an ex
pensive enterprise, owing to the rock
formation which must be dealt with.
Detonra Are Disliked.
"What I am anxious to see, how
ever, is a system of paved state high
ways which will develop Washington.
By following the "pay as you go
principle, it will take years for an
appreciable showing to be made, but
under the bonding system the money
will be available at once for the
whole undertaking. The bonds can
not be sold to net the buyer more
than 5 per cent. The state can buy up
quantities of these bonds and take
advantage of the interest.
"13veryone Is complaining about the
detours, particularly on the Pacific
hiRhway. Well, the only way to get
rid of detours is to pave the high
way, and the way to pave the high
way is to provide finances through
the $30,000,000 bond issue."
' GOUT GLANDS BENEFIGIflL
COVERXOR'S SECRETARY VIS
ITS CALIFORNIA PRISON.
Dow E. Fpjohn Tells of Man of 75
Who, Following: Operatoln, Be
comes More Active.
FALEM, Or., Sept. 7. (Special.)
Tha"t the so-called goat gland opera
tions which are being performed on
prisoners in San Quentin penitentiary,
in California, are a success and that
the beneficial effects have not been j
exaggerated in newspaper reports was
the information brought here today
by Don E. Upjohn, private secretary
to Governor Olcott. who passed the
last two weeks in California inspect
ing the various state institutions and
attending the annual convention of
the National Traffic association in
Sun l"Tancisco.
"I had a lengthy conversation with
the physician in charge of performing
these operations," said Mr. Upjohn,
"and later talked with a 75-year-old
Inmate of the prison who had under
gone the unique operation. Before
the operation this convict was hardly
able to get about the grounds, while
at the present time he is full of 'pep'
and has all -the physical appearance
of a youth. The first operation per
formed on this prisoner failed to re
sult satisfactorily to the physician,
and he later was subjected to a sec
ond operation.
"I received my information first
hand, from men who had undergone
the strange operation, and they told
me that the effects of the gland ad
ministering had not only improved
their physical being, but had greatly
stimulated their mental faculties. The
prison doctors also are highly elated
over the success of the operations and
declare they will continue as the oc
casion demands."
Mr. Upjohn says a herd of goats are
row on the prison farm at San Quen
tin. and these supply glands for the
open nuns.
GRAND OPERA IS CHANGED
4Tosca" to Be Given on Openij
Night, Sept. 30, at Heilig.
The Scotti Grand Opera will appear
three nights at the Heilig theater
under the joint management of steers
& Coman and the Elwyn Concert bu
reau. The repertoire has been
chanced from the announcement
made last Sunday. "ToBca" -will tie
griven on Thursday, September 30, the
first night; "Boheme" on Friday and
the double bill of 'IOracolo"-"Fagr-liacci"
on Saturday night.
Opera performances, correct and
authoritative in every detail, perform
ances that must be of the same high
standard as they are at the Metro
politan opera house, are some of the
things that Antonio Scotti, impres
airo, insists upon. Mr. Scotti be
lieves that communities that see
opera only occasionally- are entitled
to see the very finest his company
is capable of giving, which means
that it is as fine as it is possible
to give. With artist, chorus, scenery
and even the orchestra from the
Metropolitan opera house. Mr. Scotti
has had the world's greatest material
with which to work.
BRIDGE OWNER IS SUED
OFFER- OF $250 FOR FOUR
ACRES IS REFUSED.
Autoists Pay $1 Toll; State High
way Commission Wants
Land for Road.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 7. (Special.)
When Malcolm Moody today refused
to accept $250 as full payment by the
state for approximately four acres
of land deeded for a road to connect
up the Columbia river highway with
the new bridge over the Deschutes
river, J. M. Devers, on behalf of the
state highway commission, filled a
suit in the Wasco county circuit court
asking that the land in- question be
condemned.
The state highway commission some
time ago designated the land involved
in the suit as public property, and
later reauested the county court of
Wasco county to obtain the rights of
way necessary to connect up the
present highway with the Deschutes
bridge. This the court refused to ao.
Mr. Devers then submitted to Mr.
Moody a proposal to buy the land at
stipulated price of $250, but this offer
he refused.
At the present time travelers over
the highway In eastern Oregon are
compelled to pass over a private
bridge owned by Mr. Moody, for which
it is said automobiles are assessed $1
each. When the new highway of less
than a mile In length is constructed
the toll bridge will be eliminated as
a necessary means for travel.
Kecords in the office of the state
highway commission show that as
many as 50 automobiles have passed
over the Moody bridge in a single

proved so since taking" Tanlac
that no one would ever take him
to be the same man. Says he
gained fourteen pounds.
"Te look at metoday no one would
ever take me to be the same person

It simply has done wonders for me,
and I want everybody to know about
this medicine," said Francis Weirath.
foreman of a larg"e department of the
Goodrich Rubber Company plant at
Akron. Ohio. Mr. Weirath resides at
210 West State street, that city.
"I was in an awfully bad state of
health for fourteen years, and dur
ins the past ten years I got to the
point where life was a burden. I
suffered terriblyxwith indigestion and
dyspepsia. I never had any appetite
and all I could eat for breakfast was
a soft-boiled egg and a little milk
I would get so nervous and miserable
that many a night I never slept a
wink, and when nothing would bring
me any relief I had just about come
to the conclusion my case was hope
less. .
"I haven't taken but three bottles
of Tanlac, but I feci better than I
have felt for twelve years. I've
gained fourteen pounds in weight and
am getting Heavier ana stronger
every day. I never have indigestion
any more, my ap-petite is splendid and
I eat just anything and everything
I want. I sleep sound every night, and
all that tired, worn-out feeling is gone.
In fact, I am a well man in every
way.
"The men at the plant all tell me
I am looking fine these days and get
ting fat. They all want to know what
I am doing to myself, and it's always
a pleasure for me to tell them about
Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the
Owl Drug Co. Adv.
Whole Family Sick
"AH of my six brothers and sister,
as well as myself, have suffered since
childhood from stomach and liver
trouble and bloating. I thought it ran
in the family and that I could never
be cure'd, but, thanks to Mayr's Won
derful Remedy, since taking it nearly
a year ago I have been enjoying the
best of health and feel like a new
person. I have no trouble from any
thing I eat." It is a simple, harmless
preparation that removes the ca
tarrhal mucus from the intestinal
tract and allays the inflammation
which, causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments, includ
ing appendicitis. One dose will con
