MAYOR SEES CLEVER RUSE Opponents of Xcw Power Company Know ot Telegram, Is Belief. When Manager Robb of the Western Vnlon Telegraph Company denied pos itively yesterday that copies of tele grams from the Mnyor and the Chamber cf Commerce, of Stockton. Lai., regaro. ing the Northwestern Electric Company had been given to tne newspapers De fore they were delivered to Mayor Rushlight, to whom the messages were addressed, the opinion was expressed by the Mayor that the messages were solicited by those in .Portland who are opposing the new company, and that thev were merely sent to the Mayor to give them an official aspect. The Mayor proposes to Investigate the proposition further, to see the real source of the telegrams and the rea sons for their appearance in the newg papers before thev appeared at - the Mayor's office, also the real cause of the messages having been sent. "It looks very funny to me." said- the Mayor yesterday. "I cannot see how the messages could have got to the newspapers before they were sent to me, unless there was either a leak In the telegraph office or there was someone here who had solicited them and wished to use the Mayor's office as a tool for securing publicity on a scheme to oppose the granting of a franchise to the new electric company. 1 don't like such a proposition and If I can find out the facts I certainly will make them public. vNitttiitiiiiiiiiiiJiiiiiittiiiiiruiiriiiriiiiiriiiniiiiuiistitii iitrujciii iiitttiiiiiriiiriiMini: iiriiiiiiiiiiMiriiiiiiiiiiif niii riiKiiiinu iiiiniiiri iiiini;!iirii;niiJi:iFj I MORGAN-ATGHLEY FURNITURE CO.

Beeh wtth. of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, spoke on "Methods of Securing a Healthy Community." The programme yesterday folHrva: of Federation, Arrives. One of the last of the prominent members of the Federated Women's Clubs to arrive In Portland ' after the convention at San Francisco Is Mrs. Philip N. Moore, of St. Louis, the re tiring president. Mrs. Moore arrived here yesterday with her daughter, and left last night for Seattle. Mrs. Moore was entertained during the day by Mrs. Frederick Eggert. president of the Portland Woman's Club, and visited the Chautauqua in the afternoon. Upon Mrs. Moore lay the responsi bility for ruling the suffrage resolu tion out of order at the convention, a ruling which at the time gave rise to the report that the convention as a whole was against the movement. Mrs. Moore said yesterday that she, like a majority of the delegates, was strongly In favor of equal suffrage. " "I was compelled to give the ruling I did, not because I am against suf frage for women, but simply through the laws of our constitution, which have stipulated that no political or sectarian causes shall be Introduced Into the work of the body. In ad dition, the reso'ution came from the fioor and not through the committee on resolutions, anoti.er reason why It was out of order." In bad condition, and will have to be renewed entirely. It was hoped to make the repairs as soon as the railroad bridge was completed and opened to the public, bui . when they can be made now is very uncertain. It is said by an expert familiar with the Burnslde bridge construction, that It cannot car ry any more traffic during the. rush hours of morning and evening than It now carries, and that to put more on the bridge during these periods would go beyond the saftey limit.

Residents Claim Road Near Crater Lake Is Better for Scenery, Eas , ier on Cars and Cheaper. - KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 20. Soeclal. The highway between Cali fornia and Oregon is exciting mucn in terest In this city. At a luncheon given at the White Pelican Motei Dy mc Klamath Chamber of Commerce, whlcn was attended by nearly all the prin- Mi business men of the city, this Question was the main topic. Tt is the general belter tnat li ine true situation is understood, the high wav will pass through this section in stead of going by the way of Ashland and Medford. The reasons for this be lief are that the scenery on this route is superior because a side trip of only few miles win De requirea io see Crater Lake, and that the grades are easier. There are two possible routes north of Klamath Falls, one by way of the Deschutes region, which is mainly open countrv. and the other over one of the low passes across the uascaaes to r,u gene, thence through the Willamette Valley to Portland. This route has easy grades, inexpensive construction over the greater portion, little work overhanging -canyons or along cliffs, passes through some .-of the tinest tim- cluding Shasta, McLoughlin, Three Sisters and Jefferson. It is thought that a careful exami nation of both routes will be convinc ing that the Klamath route is the bet ter scenlcally, the easier on machines, and less expensive to Construct.

With announcement that bids will be opened for the new Supreme Court and State Library building on the state grounds August 6, ft has also been determined- that It will be possible on the present appropriation to construct only the brickwork, exterior and floor ing and that the interior and finish ing w-ill have to depend on a further appropriation at the next session of the Legislative assembly. Members of the State Board, after making a purchase of the entire block east of the Capitol at a cost of $50,000, reached the conclusion that the re maining $100,000 would be Insufficient for the construction of such a building as is needed. State Treasurer Kay held several conferences with members of the Su preme Court and members of that body stated they would back up the Stat Board and give their moral support In securing an additional appropria tion for the construction of the build ing. The deficit will be about $70,000, about $50,000 of this being for the building and the remainder for. com pletion and furnishlnrs. The founda tion has been constructed. The second floor will be entirely de voted to the State Library. This will Include floor space 96x126 feet. The third floor will have offices for the Supreme Court. The Attorney-General and assistants will have three rooms on this floor.
