Blrl.
This vm the effect of a decision
made yesterdar by Presiding Judge
McOInn. of the State Circuit Court. The
ruling waa made In passing upon the
rase of Anton Rlblrh. who not only lot
Ma temper when another atole hla girl,
but whipped out a revolver and talked
of violence. It wii given out largely
In the form of advice to Anton, who la
a rery young Austrian and knowa little
of the ways and wllea of womankind.
Calm Philosophy Fnjolncd.
"I spenda eight bunder dollar."
wallrd Anton. "She coma to rnarry me
then change her mind an" glv me der
allrv"
Klblch did Indeed have cause for
grievance. Even the court admitted
that. The point J ml re McOInn made
waa that the forsaken swain should
bare arrrpted Ms lot In brttrr part.
Anton fell madly In love with a girl
In Austria whose photograph he had
seen. The girl's sister, with whom
Anton boarded, displayed the picture
and. as they say at the vaudeville
shows. It waa some sir!; special empha
sis on the some. ,
"She will come and marry you If yon
aend her the railroad fare." the sister
told Anton. So he began hoarding Ma
earning. Working as a laborer he
earned 12.50 a day and never a cent did
be spend rept for food and lodging,
lie confessed even to doing? his own
washing that the fund might grow the
more rapidly. By way of Inspiration,
be had the picture of Terela Aovanln.
which was the euphonlua name of bis
Intended wife.
Photograph Is False.
There was no way. of course, for
Anton to know that the picture he bad
came with baking powder coupons, lie
thought he was coins; to ret the orig
inal which was enough to set most
anyone to savins;. In due course of
time h (tot together the fabulous sum
of SITS, which he sent to Austria to
bur a ticket. With that the girl
reached New York, then sent for more
money, lie sent her IJOO mora and she
came direct to Portland.
Anton experienced a shock when be
met the girl at the depot, She looked
aa much like tha picture be had nursed
o tenderly aa the favorite portrait of
a princes looks like the original. He
Md bla disappointment, though, for she
waa rather a romrly miss, even though
very shabby and dirt -begrimed through
long travel. Having 1 'a beart set on
marriage he derided to go through
with the bargain.
Nest day he broached the subject of
suitable attire, for she appeared In tha
same dirty, shabby traveling dress. She
coifeised to having no other clothes.
Cash Borrowed for Troaserau.
Anton bad just about enough left by
this time to pay the license fee and tha
preacher. Rut. having a reputation for
honestv. he waa able to borrow $100 or
so. W ith this he bought hla prospect
ive wife some dresses, a hat and a ring.
That night she went out walking
with another Austrian. Anton waa en.
raged. lie demanded an explanation.
S"ie exhibited some apparel and Jewelry
th other bought her. The cost waa
l3. tio Anton straightway borrowed
ti more and Insisted that hla rival
take the money bark.
The date of tha wedding was fixed.
Put when Anton went the next night to
call on bla fiancee she was out again
with still another fellow. And tha sec
ond rival was a dashing young Aua
trlan who siraplr took the girl by
storm. When Anton rushed up to them
and demanded an explanation the girl
replied, with naive Impudence:
"This la a free country and I am not
bound to marry you. I shall marry
just who I please and It may not be
you.
Anton Becomes Violent.
Then It v-a that Anton became vlo
lnl and among other things drew a
large revolver. He was overpowered
before he could use It and the police
were sent for. Anton has beea In jail
some time. Having pleaded guilty, ha
was taken before Judge McGinn for
aentmce.
Too are not the first man to get left
and possibly will not be the last. Judge
McOInn told him. "You should have
acted differently. When a man makes
love to a woman and ahe turns him
down he should accept the verdict In
good part. There la no appeal. My
advice to you la to let this girl alone
after this. You may be fortunate, for
all you know.
"Get another girl and If you have lost
your money, let it go. Ton are sen
tenced to a month la the county jalL
but I believe' yoq are a good man and
I will let you go on probation."

CITY GOVERNMENT
COST IS REDUCED
Council Committee Prunes Es
timates for General .
Fund $148,309.
SMALL SURPLUS IS LEFT
Budget as Orlgtnally Prepared by
Mayor Simon Is Material Aid In
'Work Streets Will Not Be
So Well Swept.
From tha estimates Died yesterday
by the various city departments which
are supported by the general fund,
the ways and means committee of
the Council ' yesterday cut out $148.
309. allowing a total of I8S3.74.10
for the aupport of the departmenta for
the year. The estimated revenues for
the general fund amount 10 mr5.10a.41,
Including: 1250.000 that the Council
hopes to get by means of a proposed
ordinance to hasten the payment to the
city of the B per cent duea from street
Improvement contracts.
After tha appropriations are deducted
from the expected revenues of the fund,
there la remaining; for such uses as
may develop later a surplus of $14.
439.17. The deductions Included $27,
J20, which waa duplicated.-
It took the committee all day yes
terday to work out the appropriations
and make them conform with the ex
pected revenues of the general fund, for
never before In the history of the city
have the expected expenses for the de
partmenta Involved been so much In
excess of the expected revenues of the
fund. It wss necessary to confer with
the various heads of departments to as
certain how threatened deficits could be
avoided.
Pcficlt First Threatened.
If the estimates had been approved
as flled. the payments to be made out of
the freneral fund would have been
$123.870. 31 more than the expected rev
enue, even after the additional $2i0.000
had been provided by the street assess
ments. For a long- time the Council has
looked forward with some dread to
fixing these appropriations, owing to
lack of revenue, but the work of the
committee waa materially lessened by
the budget? originally prepared by Mayor
Simon, who had planned how various
departments could be operated with re.
duced expenditures.
The committee also went through
estimates for the departments support,
ed by tax levy, but made but few
changes In the appropriations agreed
upon at the time the tax levy was
authorized.
A delegation of policemen called upon
the committee and asked that the sal
aries of the men who are now to begin
on their second year of service be In
creased from $?0 a month to $100 a month.
They explained that when they took the
civil service examination the salary was
fixed at $100 a month, but was reduced
later, and they believed that they should
receive the amount they had been led
to expect. The committee was loth to
do this without a request from the execu
tive board, hut Anally granted the re
quest. Twenty-five patrolmen will be
affected by this Increase.
To make tha general fund meet tha
various requirements upon It, It will be
necessary for the streets of the city to
go without as much sweeping as usual,
but by next year It Is expected that a
charter amendment will be adopted au
thorizing a separate tax levy for the
support of the street sprinkling and
cleaning department.

GIG BORE READY
FOR RAIL TRAFFIC
Peninsula Tunnel to Be Used
by Harriman Trains to
Puget Sound.
LINE TO BE OPEN TODAY
Oregon-Washington Road Cuts Off
Six Miles and Will Save Half
Hour In Running Time for
Distance, It Is Figured.
Beginning this morning all trains
over the Oregon-Washington Railroad
& Navigation Company's line between
Portland and Puget Sound will oper
ate through the newly-completed tun
nel under the Peninsula between the
Willamette and the Columbia rivers,
reducing tho running time for pas
senger service - to Northern points at
least 20 minutes and cutting oil nearly
six miles of difficult trackage.
The bore is 5400 feet long and was
constructed at a cost of approximately
$600,000. The contract was awarded to
Robert Wakefield and the Paclflo
Bridge Company, both local concerns.
In July, 1909. Work was started soon
after that time. The construction de
tails were completed In a compara
tively short time and the result Is one
of the best and most modern engineer
ing feats on the Coast,
At the north end of the tunnel con
nection Is made with the new line be
tween St. Johns and Troutdale. At
the south end the tunnel tracks will
connect with the present line a short
distance from the Steel bridge.
Staff System to Bo Used."
Trains will be operated through it by
means of the staff system, -which is
the most practical modern method for
the prevention of accidents consistent
with hurried transportation.
Another desirable feature resulting
from this work is the elimination of
grades. The grade on the old line, up
Sullivan's Gulch, is one per cent. On
the tunnel line it is only five-tenths
per cent. Much curvature also will be
avoided. The maximum on the tunnel
line is three degrees. On. the old line
It is eight degrees. A total of 900 de
grees in curvature has been saved.
When Julius Kruttschnltt. director
of maintenance and operation of the
Harriman system, was In Portland a
month ago. he made a personal Inspec
tion of this project ana pronounced it
one of the finest long tunnels on the
entire system. Other railway officials
who have seen it declare that it is a
remarkable and valuable piece of con
struction work.
The bore is ample to accommodate all
the trains that operate between Port
land and the Sound, and It Is figured
that as soon as the connection with
the main line at Troutdale Is made, the
East and West freight service can be
handled through it as well. Eventually
all the Eastern and Northern traffic
may be handled that way. ,
Work Practically Done.
The Work has been, practicaly com
pleted for the past month. Construc

Insurance Adjustment Sale of
PIANOS
Like every other big thing getting under way, this great sale of
uprights, grands and player-pianos has taken a few days to mount
to its best opportunity heights.
There were so many slightly damaged instruments to start this
sale, and so many were sold in the rush that greeted our announce
ment of the sale, that it is only now that we are able to tell you
just how well we are prepared for the late-comers.
The checking of the pianot uprights and grands, player
pianos and organs that remain shows that there never waa a
better opportunity than now.
No matter what the need of your ideal, your home, your purse,
there is still a piano in this fire insurance' adjustment sale that will
fill it exactly, and with an over-measure of satisfaction.

efficiency and safety have been ap
plied. It Is expected that when once
the trains are started over this course
the service can bo continued uninter
rupted. While this will give the Harriman
system the shortest and quickest route
between Portland and the Sound, a
valuable feature of tne w rk lies In
the elimination of difficult and danger
ous pieces of work in running trains
through St. Johns, where the constantly
increasing population has made the
operation of surface trains annoying,
because the speed necessarily is limi
ted. Greater speed will be possible as
a result of the change.
As soon as the operation of trains
through the bore Is figured on a cer
tain basis, the schedules will be
changed to conform. While it Is be
lieved, that the running time to and
from the Sound cities will be reduced
fully 20 minutes. It Is figured that half
an hour can be cut off after the serv
Ive Is fully Inaugurated.
The work was financed entirely by
the Harriman system and the tunnel
will be used by the trains of that road
alone. After passing through the bore
the trains will run over the Columbia
jllver bridge in common with those of
the Northern Pacific and Grat North
ern roads.
