CHARGE METERS TO LAND Another View of Vexed Question of Water Rates. FORTRAN I. July 14. (To the Ed itor.) In today's Oregonian I notice a protest from one C B. Mo-pan against dispensing with water meters. By the meter system we can get water for nearly nothing. I am opposed to this new method of measuring1 water out like Ras. and if we suffer this fad to continue, in time our water will cost us more than gas. Here in Portland e have the gravity system, which costs us little or nothing for the dis tribution of wat-r after laying pipes. The cost of meters would be better spent in laying additional pipe lines to Bull Hun. Free water and plenty of ii would bo just as cheap to the tax payers as the meter system. While Mr. Aforftan and the balance of those who have been favored with meters at the taxpayers' expense, are paying from 25 lo 4i cents a month for water, the old t-onsuinerfc are still paying the flat rate pf from XX to 11. 50. If we are to meas ure out water by the adoption of the tnetrr system, then let tlie consumers pnd property-owners who are thereby icnefi ted pay for the installation and mainKname of the meters, and not rharge the city up with ."00.00 or more every five years lor the accom modation of a few economic faddists ".ike Mr. Morgan, who have already taken advantage of the past inharmoni ous system and prodigal administration pf our municipal affairs. We want as cheap water as we can get without the Impairment of Individual health, but 25 rents ocr nior.tli for each hour will irarcely pay operating expenses, let ilone the recently-raised salaries of our aater officials. Then, why not have free water in Mrad of this false economy of placing Irt.OvO meters at a cost of a half mil lion dollars every Ave years? If the aieter-supply agents have hypnotized : the city officials and Mater Board, and tho consumers must have meters, why then not Compel the property-owners tud consumers to pay for the Installa tion, repair aud maintenance of them? The laying of water mains, under the Initiative and referendum of two years 4 co. is now charged up to the abutting property. Why not charge up the cost for the installation of meters to the Tiemlses thereby benefited? The land lord will charge up the difference in rents, or meter costs, to the tenant, so t hat's the odds? If this does not suit Mr. Morgan, then, as I have repeated, give us free water and cut out the band ol new water officials the in new county home and floor plans of its "N -.: ll I- in Ctoixau O CO CttTBJ.1. r 1 1 to. . - i ii vtn.T COKJUDOC. whole meter fad was no doubt Initiated bv the sharp practices of some meter supply and manufacturing concerns in the East, and put In force by their sharkins panderly agents who drifted out this way and know a good thing when they see it. They intend staying with us - and installing one or more meter factories In the vicinity of Port land, so we are told. W here does tne graft come in, I wonder? Mayor Simon thinks there Is some thing wrong In this meter business a nigger in the woodpile. We should like to iiee this meter business shown up In the twilicht of legality, and see who Is getting tlie rake-off. We noticed re cently, by one of the evening dollies, that a new merer man had come to town and was floating about tncCjty llall. In warch of quarry, no doubt, lie will produce the same arguments in fiivor of the meter system: "You should save your water and not let it go to waste! lesi in time you be compelled to draw your supply from the Pacific Ocean, and that at great Inconvenience and cost. Adopt my new meter." Give us plenty of water in this city without tue meter. The tariff will soon be re pealed And we can sell oui hops abroad. Now. then, for tlie benefit of my economical individual. Mr. Morgan, for whom the city has Installed a water mouT. let him bear in mind that if he must have water .measured out to him like aas. the rule should apply compelling consumers to pay for the placing and maintaining such meters, aud those like Mr. Morgan, who already have meters in use. should reimburse the city for their installation and re pair, or else stop that inadequate cry for their retention, in trying to force the already over-burdened taxpayers to accommodate them at the public ex pene PETER TIMMS. 650 Third Street.

CARNIVAL SPIRIT RULING Balloon Ascension Off, but Other Attractions Please Crowd.

CLAIRVOYANT IN TROUBLE Gives Advice That Leads to Arrest and Slust Explain. Combining her own positive convictions with that of the description furnished by Mlle Peel, a local clairvoyant, Mrs. Sarah Lowe, 504 East Pine street, caused a complaint to be sworn out against Gene Johns, whom she accuses of steal ing several pieces of jewelry from a dresser in her room on July 6. Johns was arraigned in Municipal Court yes terday and his case was continued until Tuesday. In the interim the authorities will make a thorough investigation -ot the case. Since Johns" arraignment in court. Deputy District Attorney Hennessy has come into possession of the facts in the WINS HER HEART i Food That Helps Baby and tbe Family Pleases Mother. Show a mother how to feed her baby so that It will be healthy, rosy and plump and grow up strong and sturdy and the mother's gratitude is everlast ing. A mother says: "Five weeks ago I weaned batfy but could not get her to take any kind of food until I tried Grape-Nuts, which she relished from the first, and on it she has plumped up and blossomed into a fat, chubby little girl. "I feed Grape-Nuts to her regularly use three packages a week for baby and my three-year-old boy alone, and I find that It regulates and keeps them nourished, strong and in good health all the time. "Since feeding my children on Grape Nuts I have used absolutely no medi cine for either of them. Such food as this that does such wonders wins its way to a mother's heart.

Teeth Without Plates Teeth without plates or ordinary bridge work! that is the last achieve ment in the science of dentistry. Sounds wonderful, does it not? A few years ago we announced to the world that we had a process by w-hlch all the missing teeth could be replaced in the mouth without, the use of plates or ordinary bridge work. All we required was that the patient have two or more teeth left In either jaw sound or loose and with these as a basis w-e promised to restore those which had been lost by disease (pyor rhea 1. or through ignorant dental work. The announcement created no end of discussion ainoni dentists and laymen, and our offices in Denver began to be thronged with curious and skeptical people, almost Ironi the first day they were opened. That was the beginning of a busi ness which has grown until now we do the largest dental business in the world. The St. Louis offices were opened three years ago and have almost eclipsed the Denver office -in volume of business. A. suite of offices were opened in Salt Lake t'itv two vears ago. to take care of the rapidly growing Western business and this has been very suc cessful. Then we iiad to relieve the Salt. Lake nffi-e and opened one in Los Angeles, San Francisco. Oakland. Seattle, l-oit-lanrt. to care-for the territory of the Pacific Coast. In five years, we are proud to he able to say. ive have treated over in.iinn pa-ti-nls through the Alveolar Method of supplying missing teetli. and of that vast 'number less than a dozen cases have turned out unfavorably!
