Xeiv Orillnnnce for the Pi ami) era ImposcM - Unnecessary Tnx on Every Householder. PORTLAND, Aug. 22. (To tho Editor.) It is probably not true that Portlanders generally are guilty of "mossbacklsm," but the docile and patient submlsslveness In which our people support the various Impositions of certain cliques and com bines Is a characteristic not to be proud of. Those mentioned In the following are not the only public nuisances of that de scription, but It Is time to commence somewhere and make an effort to abate them. Recently in an interview Mr. Laid law denounced In strong and fitting terms the sailor boirdlng-house ring, but why has Portland stood this business so long? As long as I can remember these gentle men have prospered amidst those denun ciations. Perhaps it is somewhat due to the fact that they are not tho only "crimps" In Portland. Thero Is, for example, the plumbers com bine, which recently, on April 16, caused the passage and subsequently, on April 21. the approval by the Mayor of the lat est plumbing ordinance, a measure which enables the combine to exact blood money from every taan who builds or owns a home. This ordinance is so outrageous that tho inspector hesitates to enforce Its most objectionable features, in order to let tho victims get used to it by de grees, and not even now, four months later, has ho turned It on full force. "This plumbers combine looks upon the plumb ing ordinance as a measure for their spe cial "protection." and they seek and have so far succeeded in controlling 'the Plumb ing Inspector's ofllco and dictating the or dinance. They are organized to control tho plumbing business of Portland, elim inate all competition, and drive all Inde pendent plumbers out of business or into tho combine. To that end, I am reliably informed, they aro paying every journey man plumber in the city $16 per week for tho time during which they fail to em ploy him, after compelling their union not to work for any master plumber who did not Join the combine. They tax this up against the public, and In order to be able to do so they procure from the Coun cil an ordinance compelling the public to employ unusually expensive plumbing. In many Instances this ordinance provides matters which are entirely foreign to tho question of sanitation or drainage, In pre scribing the quality of fixtures and ma terials. They have, for example, as much right to make It an offense to eat out of a tin spoon as to wash In a wooden washtub (stationary), yet this ordinance, in order to "protect" the plumbing trade, compels tho houseowner to use metal or cement wash trays. This whole ordinance Is an unjust and grievous burdon upon tho best class of our citizens, the houscowners and build ers, and tho ordinance ought to be at onco repealed and a measure enacted which would be sanitary and which, while protecting the health of the community, would curb the rapacity of the combine. a mother should be a source of joy to all, but the suffering and -anger incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of misery. Mother s Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great pain and danger of maternity; this hour which is dreaded as woman's severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided by its use. Those who use this remedy are no longer despondent or gloomy; nervousness, nausea and other distressing conditions are overcome, the system is made ready for the coming event, and the 6erious accidents so common tn thf hour are obviated by the use of Mother's Friend.

SHOES without impairing the sanitary construc tion of plumbing and drainage. An ordi nance could be devised which would re duce the price of plumbing from 23 to 40 per cent, and this ought to be done at once. A very few among the many Improper provisions will show what alls this plumb ing ordinance. For example, section 5: Tho matter of roof (rainwater drains), when not connected with the sewer, is not in the province of sanitary laws. A man has a right to let It rain where It may In Oregon, and if he lets It run on the ground ho causes no unsanitary condi tion; that Is where the vast mass of rain water goes. This section forces you to bring it to the curb In an iron pipe all tb make work for the plumber. Tho deep seal trap mentioned in this section has long ago been discarded for tho less expensive and better style now In use here by tho best sanitary engi neers. Soctlon 10 requires the terminals of all vent pipes to be 12 feet away from all air shafts or windows. This Is in many cases Impractical, always unsightly and fre quently very expensive. The former ordi nance, which required only live feet, proved perfectly satisfactory for many years. Why tho other seven feet? To mako work for the combine, run up plumbers' bills. Let us move to make the distance from here to the moon with trap screws In It a mile apart. Section 13 requires drum traps under all bathtubs. Tho drum trap Is a stink ing, antiquated nuisance, regarded with affection by some Old Country plumbers. It is a small cesspool for the storage of accumulations of nasty filth which you can hire. a plumber periodically to open and clean out for you at combination prices. They cost about three times as much as the self-cleaning- trap now In use. For years standard pipe was used in all residence buildings, and was found suffi cient and satisfactory; the new ordinance enforces the use of extra heavy, much to tho detriment of . many houses, the timbers of which aro cut to pieces to make room for pipe of greater dimensions and weight than necessary. Needless to say that It too adds to tho expense. The fol lowing table, which Is published In the ordinance, shows the enormous Increase In tho weight, which In many cases must be suspended from ceilings of houses: Standard (old or-l Extra heavy (new dmance) Lbs. ordinance) Lbs per ft. per ft. .... 2-Inch 3k-Inch i-lnch. 4H 1-inch 9ii 1-Inch 6 i-mcn 13 5-Inch SB-inch ..17 ..20 3-Inch lOWS-lnch .. I-lnch 14 Mnch IS Mnch 27 -lnch 33Vi It used to bo possible to get an ordi nary cottage plumbed for $100 to $125; but now this runs from $175 to. $20, and tho public gets no better service, and In many respects the practical utility of tho plumbing system Is worse. There was no objection or complaint nor any desire on tho part of the public for this new ordi nance, and no one outside of the combine wanted a new plumbing law. Only a few of the objectionable features of the pres ent law have been treated herein, and many moro may bo pointed out. Tho attention of the Honorable Mayor," tho Council, the architects, builders and the Interested public generally Is respect fully called to the foregoing, with a view to action In tho matter.

The Inventory and appraisement of the catato of Clinton Bonser, deceased, was filed In the County Clerk's office yestor day, showing property valued at $7146. The Ames Mercantile Company has com menced euit in the State Circuit Court against Peter Eales and wife, to recover $135 on an assigned claim of the Meier & Frank Company, and $132 due to tho Union Laundry. Eales Is said to have left the city, but garnishments were served on property In which he Is Interested. Ex-President Steyn. of the Orango Frea Stat. Is recovering his health at Schweninger. Holland, where, he Intends to spend the re mainder of his days. He Is still "unrecon structed." There Is a certain cure for these dis eases without resorting to those unpleas ant and painful methods still used by many, which aggravate, rather than give relief. With the same certainty as that of a per fect diagnosis. I adapt my special French treatment to the radical cure of Stricture, Prostutls, Inflammation of the Bladder, Private Disorders, Varicocele, And nil Genlto-Urlnnry Diseases. It affords instant relief. I remove every vestigc of disease without resorting to those painful processes usually employed and which do not give satisfaction. It is not reasonable to suppose that a man can exercise the essential functions while the urinary channel Is blocked by stricture or other disease, which destroys the vital power, and which becomes more aggra vated under improper treatment. Theso diseases, while they last, always detract from the sexual and bladder functions, and an early cure Is always advisable.
