JHneys Are Favored. Mr. Caldwell declared that the charge of $12 minimum for deprecia tion as computed by state officials was far too high. Touching upon the question of jitneys, the mayor went on record as being opposed to their total prohibition. "I consider that the welfare of the city cannot and will not be served by stifling all other forms of transporta tion for the next 18 years," he said. "Unless the city can offer some form of rapid transportation in lieu of the jitneys it should not abolish them merely to increase the revenues of the street-car lines."

Seattle's municipal railway Is head ed for bankruptcy. The street car system, Beginning January 1, will be going "in the red" J90.000 a month. ' Seattle must either force the Stone fe Webster people to alter their pres ent contract of sale or it must pay for the purchase of the lines by gen eral taxation. A definite policy must be adopted in the next few weeks by city officials If the street car system is to be kept from ruin. These were high lights of a speech on municipal problems delivered by Mayor Caldwell at a luncheon of the Municipal league Tuesday noon. o Remedy Proponed. The mayor did not point to any spe cific remedy In his discussion, but he intimated that an effort would be made to compel the Stone & Webster interests to alter their contract. Refusal to do so, he intimated, would result in the bankruptcy of the lines and the loss of their investment to those holding the bonds of the municipal system. Mr. Caldwell expressed himself as adverse to giving to the Stone & Webster people a better contract than that they now hold by calling on the general fund to keep the system in operation. At the same time he point ed out that the property owners and merchants of the city are leaving it to the patrons of the lines to pay off the entire capital stock of the mu nicipal road. No Contract Held ed. "It Is a human impossibility to nav igate successfully the fatuous course that we are now embarked upon." the mayor stated. "Shall we continue to raise the street-car fares during the' next 18 years, until they reach.a point, where an insufficient number will J ride on the cars to make their oper ation worth while, or shall we give to the Stone & Webster interests a better contract than they drew up by making an entrance into the general fund in order to keep the system going? "Long after my incumbency as may or has been forgotten," Mr. Caldwell added grimly, "you will be wrestling with this problem unless the con tract is rewritten or canceled." That the city of Seattle in the operation of the municipal railway is endeavoring to do something that no privately owned utility cornoratlon could do was asserted by the mayor. I.om In City Sren.

Oral Opinion Given by Supreme Judicial Body Other Decis- - ions Are Handed IXvn. SALEM. Or., Oct. 5. (Special.) Re hearing of the case brought by W. P. Hawley of Oregon City to test the validity of approximately $1,700,000 of highway bonds voted by the people of Clackamas county was denied in an oral opinion handed down by the Oregon supreme court here today. This action was originally filed In the circuit court of Clackamas county with Judge Anderson and other mem bers of the county court named as defendants. At the time the case was heard Judge Campbell upheld the va lidity of the bonds, and the constitu tionality of the law under which they were voted. Mr. Hawley then appealed the case to the supreme court, with the result that Judge Campbell was reversed. Justice Benson, who wrote the opin ion, held that the bond issue was in valid for the reason that the totar amount involved exceeded 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of all prop erty in Clackamas county. At the time the bonds were voted the Clack amas county officials had the impres sion that the 6 per cent limitation law was in operation.

The weather yesterday being auspi cious, the. second day of the Mult nomah county fair at Gresham, was a big success. The track was not dried out sufficiently to get the auto races started for two hours'after the time set. 2 P. M., but the grounds were pretty well crowded after noon and the number; of admissions was, perhaps, more than 3000 not a big day, but large enough to Insure the success of the fair. There are no fairgrounds in the state, unless the Round-up grounds at Pendleton are considered, that have the fair in its very center of the tenvn. It is a scant three-minute walk from the postoffice to the fair gate. Farming In Ideal Section. That is one reason why the annual fair calls out a big attendance, but only a minor reason. The real reason for a big fair at Gresham arises from the fact that the town lies in the center of one of the finest agricul tural sections in the west. Probably the Almighty could have made a section superior to it. but I guess he never thought it worth while. And then the town itself Is a gem, and a gem in such a fine setting means that it is one of Oregon's most beautiful small cities. It grows more beautiful every year, for the Gresham folk are a proud lot and there are no shacks nor other eye-sores of the kind in the town. - I would not like to say what I think the principal source of income to the farmers hereabouts Is. I know there is a large quantity of fruit pro duced in the Gresham section and that for vegetables it stands quite at the head of Oregon communities. However, I think we will have to look to Mme. Holstein. Miss Jersey, Mrs. Guernsey and the Ayreshire family to find the great present and future industry of the neighborhood. Prize Cattle Is Thoroughbred. So I spent much time yesterday in the dairy cow barns and saw many purebred prize winners, all of the families mentioned being well repre sented, but I think the Jerseys pre dominate. They have here a Multnomah coun ty Jersey cattle club. I do not know how many members it has, but I will wager it is made up of live wires. O. J. Brown has two head in the show. Nellie McXinley two, Samuel Weiss five and B. C. Altman 15. Then the Cider Hill farm of Clackamas county has 13 head. But in the Holstein class I saw something that pleased me mightily. I saw a boy about 9 years old fussing around a beautiful yearling Holstein heifer; two of them, in fact. T noticed 1 "muttons" than X saw yesterday at Gresham. There are, all td. about 115 of them, and seven varieties. HOG ROCXD-UP GIVEX AT FAIR Prize Porkers Prove Tnruly at Gresham Exhibition. GRESHAM, Or., Oct. 6. (Special.) There was onlyone round-up sched- en Ka Uiiltnnmoh rmintv rail. ! vesterdav. Cherokee Charley's Wild West show. But yesterday was chil dren's day, and the school boys staged their own round-up, back of the live stock barns. The round-up started as a pig showing contest, with L. J. Allen and H. C. Seymour, livestock club organ izers from Oregon Agricultural col lege, and Miss Ethel Calkins., county club lecturer, directing operations. The pigs trotted out quietly and re ceived some expert handling and showing -by their youthful owners. The pig9 had been bathed, anointed and manicured to a queen's taste, and to show their appreciation they dipped, sidestepped and waltzed in answer to their owners' prodding and cajoling. But to return the porkersto their stalls was another matter. They pre ferred the pasture, and tore around at a merry clip. One pig squeezed under the fence into the clover patch adjoining; another slid into a stall with a Guernsey bull, but did not linger. One was led back with its face In a pail of barley. The last squealing gilt was finally carried in by H. W. Lynch, William Hornecker. A. Zenger and David McKeown, local livestock breeders and leaders of the boys' clubs. Leslie Lynch, state .champion, car ried off first honors in the pig-showing trials with his prize gilt Pride of Multnomah. John Fleming fin ished second and Cris Grassley third. Stock judging contests were held during the afternoon to determine which team should represent Multno mah county at the stock show in North Portland this fall. Hampshire sheep from the exhibit of J. G. S. Hubbard of Monroe, luernsey cattle from the Hughes herd of Oregon City, and Duroc Jersey hogs from the fine string of George Betook of Oregon City were judged. The team from Lynch district, com posed of Albert Zenger, Adolph Zen ger and Grant McMillan, was chosen to judge for Multnomah. A close sec ond was the Fairview team John Fleming, Julius Lusher and Fay Hu nt. Sven Nelson, Archie Peterson and Leonard Nelson of Powell Valley were third. - Senator Lodge to Speak.
