OAKS' DAY BRINGS $264.45 Dr. Ehrgott Thinks Principal Cred ltors Should Be Willing to Reduce Claims and Xot Hold Out for "Pound of Flesh." r- U fl- W IL-aV to mSmMMmrSNTS! ' xricfn v Tbe net loss on the series of con' ' certs given by the Multnomah Sunday School Association, at the Gipsy Smith Auditorium, has been reduced to $1200, largely due to the personal subscrlp tions secured through Dr. Albert Ehr .gott. president of the association. When the five concerts were concluded, the net loss on the series amounted to $2180. One tttra concert was given, at which a collection taken amounted to llli, and the collection and percent ages from concessions at the Oak footed up to $264.45. Dr. Ehrgott lm mediately went to work calling on citizens for personal subscriptions, an secured from this source about $oo. "I think I have done more than my share in securing additional funds to meet the deficit, said Dr. Ehrgott, yesterday. "I am only the president of the association. It Is time that some of the other officers did something. Since June 1, I have devoted all my 'time to the affairs of the music festival given under the auspices of our asso elation, and have not earned in this time one cent for the living expenses of myself and family. It Is now time that I go to work to earn, money for lamlly expenses. I am done. I am tired out. If anyone wishes to send further subscriptions to us, they can address them to me at room 406, Sell ing building, and they will be faith fully accounted for. I trust that the people of Portland understand that I did not. on my own Initiative, hold these concerts. I was appointed to manage them by vote of the Multnomah County Sunday School Association "1 think an effort should be made to persuade the creditors of ' the Rose Musical Festival to accept reductions os, their bills," said one of the chorus singers, last night. "The bill of the Portland Festival Orchestra was $748, atd the rent of the auditorium was charged at $500. The musicians should be given, say $500. and they ought to give a receipt In full. On the Saturday night .concert, especially, several of the players left before the concert was over, to fulfill other engagements, and they certainly will not lose out by be lng generous. The owners of the audi torium ought to cancel their bill for rent and put down the loss in dollars and cents to. what was done for the advancement of musical education In this city. Besldos, the auditorium peo ple did not erect the building simply to miike money. If these two bills were arranged-In the manner I have de scribed, we could effect a reduction of $748. This would still leave a deficit of say $452. Other creditors might re duce their bills, or the $452 should be raised by special collections taken at regular Sunday services In the Port land churches. We lost out on the festival, and none of the creditors should lnutst on their separate pound of flesh.' EXPERTS VISIT COOS BAY 1'1'uil Men Criticise Management of Orchards in District.

Chief of Police Slover stepped In and put a stop to his hazardous ex ploits. Bowen was anxious to continue be cause he is a fatalist and because he thought his successive escapes was a ew demonstration of the correctness f his theories. From a frame tower 100 feet in height Bowen was to dive every night into four and one-half feet of water, lying In an eight by 13 tank. He planned one night to have the tank aflame with gasoline: another night he was to be fired himself, while yet later he planned to combine the two. Sunday afternoon, June IS, he dived without fire and one side of his face MONTANA WOMAN HAS SON, GRANDDAUGHTER AND GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER IN PORTLAND. -i Stw"t l V' V ' 1 y. - v LEFT TO RIGHT MRS.

' Elevens. - As long as the sun continues to shed its morning rays across Mount Hood, so long will Westover Terraces be a residence district and nothing else. That same sun will, never cast the shadow of an apartment-house across the heights of Westover Terraces.- It was designed for fine homes, homes that visitors like to see, like to remember and like to talk about. The contour lines of Westover Terraces have been so projected that no street grade exceeds 8 per cent. No home can possibly be built so as to shut off the view from any other premises. Every home will have a view all its own; today, tomorrow and forever. " ... , ; i Eight in the midst of Westover Terraces, carved right out of the very earth and rock, lies Block 9, made practically level and facing North, Northeast and East, first to see the rising sun and last to bask in the evening shadow. ' ; ' - v Block 9 is the very best of Westover Terraces. . It is the highest priced building property in Westover Terraces. It is worth more than any of the rest, for it is, without a single exception, the most select home-building property on the Pacific Coast, bar nothing. , There are just six building sites in Block 9. Some have already been reserved. There are still a few left." And, REMEMBER THIS, the man who buys one.of these six lots, 'builds one of these six homes, will have one of the six finest residence sites in all America. I would advise you to see Westover Terraces today; investigate' its merits carefully; and settle the location of your home, once and f or all time. J mm : -n-'i'in : pi:J r - 1 mil F. N.
