Five Offers Made for Purchase of
First Block of $300,000,
but All Are Too Low.
Legal status of the $3,000,000 issue
of school bonds, voted recently by
Portland people for construction of
new buildings, will be fixed by an
opinion to be obtained from Storey.
Thorndyke, Palmer & Dodge, inter
nationally known specialists of New
York. Such was the formal action
of the members of the board of edu
cation taken at a meeting late yes
terday afternoon upon recommenda
tion of Frank L. Shull, chairman,
and Stanley Myers, district attor
ney, adviser to the directors.
This opinion. If it states unequivo
cally that the bonds are without
legal impediment, will settle the
question which arose when a Chi
cago law firm, acting for a pur
chaser of $300,000 of the issue, de
clared them fatally defective be
cause of a technical alleged error
in posting of the election notices.
It is conceded generally that a fav
orable opinion from this firm of
specialists will be sufficient to
guarantee the issue to the most ex
acting buyers or agents for buyers.
Court Action May Be Taken.
In case the bond specialists find
in the issue any flaws, these will
e referred formally to the supreme
court of Oregon for an opinion, with
suggestions as to how they may be
remedied, and it is altogether prob
able, according to the district at
torney, that the matter can be ad
justed speedily.
Bids for the first block of $300,000
of the bonds put on the market
were rejected yesterday after the
business committee of the school
board had scrutinized them. When
the bids were opened at noon it
was found that five offers had been
made by three different firms or
combinations of firms. After some
little discussion it was agreed to
refer the bids to the business com
mittee, with Director Thomas added
to its membership.
J. K. Martin. as chairman of the
committee, reported during the aft
ernoon that all the bids had been
turned down. The next step, he said,
will be to prove the legality of the
bonds.
"The bids were not satisfactory,"
sam Chairman Martin. "It was our
opinion that we can obtain better
bids once the legality of the bonds
nas Deen established to the satisfac
tion of everyone."
Cyrus Pierre Bid Bent.
: The bid of Cyrus Peirce & Co ii
conjunction with the Bankers' Trust
company of New York, offering to
take the bonds at 4 per cent in
terest and pay a premium of $1617
was found the best of those tendered
yesterday.
Clark, Kendall Co. of Portland,
in co-operation with Halsey, Stuart
& Co. of Chicago, made a bid of par
for the bonds if issued at 4 per
cent interest. If issued at 5 per
cent interest this combination of
firms offered a premium of $2250.
They presented a third offer, in
which they pledged to engage a
noted bond attorney to pass on the
issue and defend it, upon payment
of three-fourths of 1 per cent.
Robertson & Kwing, Portland firm,
presented a bid offering to take the
bonds at par if issued to yield 4i
per cent interest. They demanded
an option, however, on the errtire
issue of $3,000,000.
The block of bonds offered yes
terday bad once been sold to a syn
dicate composed of the Ladd & Til
ton bank and two Chicago bond
houses, but was turned back when
the firm of attorneys employed by
them found a technicality they
could criticise in the call for the
bond election.
When the school board met to
consider the matter last Friday a
syndicate composed of six local bond
houses presented a bid under which
they offered to take the entire issue
Jit par and $3000 premium if issued
to yield 5 per cent. The board .sum
marily turned down this bid as forc
ing too high a rate of interest.

HOW TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to
Make a Remedy for Gray Hair.
A well known resident of Cincin
nati, Ohio, who has been a barber
for more than forty vars, recently
made the following statement:
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, ""and
make it soft and glossy. To a hal?
pint of water add 1 ounce bay rum,
a small box of Barbo Compound and
'A ounce glycerine. These ingred
ients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to
the hair twice a week until the de
sired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. It is easy
to use, does not color the most deli
cate scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off.' Adv.

the tire that gives you more
miles because that's the best way
