District Attorney Goodwin served no

several lodging-houses that infractions
of the law would not be permitted.
The abatement law, invoked against
two places yesterday, was not in

that all the -places must be cleaned
out by nigl-.tfall, and tonight every

working In conjunction with the Dis

FIVE MILLS LEVY IS DUE
Iiarge Increase Necessary Over 1912
Is Due to Appropriations and
Expenses Incurred by Last
Legislature.
SALEM, Or.. Nov. 8. (Special.) The
tctal value of ' taxable property as
equalized by the county boards of
equalization in Oregon, not including
the property of public service corpora
tions which will be assessed by the
State Tax Commission, for 1913 is $835.
263,527, according to an announcement
of the Commission made tbis afternoon.
The increase over 1912 is $42,173,346.
Messrs. Baton and Galloway, State Tax
Commissioners, stfid the levy which
would be made December 1 would be
about 6 mills, a large increase being
necessary to meet the appropriations
and other expenses of the last session
of the Legislature. The lowest levy in
the history of the state was in 1912, it
being 1.2 mills, and the highest was 7
mills In 1904. It was more than 6 mills
In 1902.
Announcement was made by the Com
mission that the county ratios of tax
able property of public service corpora
tions would be about the same as last
year, which totaled $905,011,679. The
State Board of Equalization expects to
flx the ratios in a few days, the law
providing that pumic service corpora
tions shall be assessed at the same
ratio of other property in the various
counties. For instance. If a county
assesses other property for taxable
purposes at 75 per cent of its actual
value, the public service corporations
""t u7 hubcbsihi at lii o same niLio.
General Fund Exhausted.
State Treasurer Kay announced sev
eral weeks ago that the general fund
had been exhausted as a result of the
small levy this year, and that it would
be necessary to borrow about $1,000,000
to tide the state over until the taxes
were received next year.
A bill was passed at the recent ses
sion of the Legislature giving the State
Tax Commission power to anticipate
appropriations and expenditures, so in
the future there will not be as great
differences In the levies as has been in
the past.
Commissioner Eaton said the Com
mission would fix the county ratios on
tho property of public service corpora
tions on a basis of last year's ratios,
but that all of them probably would be
somewhat larger.' The ratios in 1912
were aa follows:

Proposed Million Dollar Portland
Building Will nave Eight Stories.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 8. The supervising archi
tect of the Treasury today advised Sen
ator Lane that data have been com
piled on which to base plans for' the
new Postofflce building at Portland
and It Is found that the appropriation
of $1,000,000 will be adequate to erect
an eight-story building, which will
provide sufficient space to accommo
date not only the postoffice but all
other Government offices In Portland
that now occupy rented quarters.
The architect doubted, however,
whether the appropriation would be
sufficient to provide space for the Fed
eral Courts in the new building? Sena
tor Lane said It was desired that the
courts remain In their present quarters
in the old Postoffice building and the
architect said he would proceed on
that theory and not figure on moving
the courts to the new building.
The competing architects will be fur
nished with information on which
base their plans within the next few
days and work will proceed at once.
They probably will have 60 days In
which to prepare their sketches and
plans.

Xew Council Credited With Desire to
Settle Problems Which Have
Been Confronting City.
SEASIDE. Or., Nov. 8. (Special.)
Plans for the complete rejuvenation of
the City of Seaside are being consid
ered by the newly elected members of
the City Council, who will take of
fice in December.
The subject that is receiving most
attention is the opening and widening
of streets. Bridge street, which runs
from the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
passenger depot to the ocean front,
has been & bone of contention for sev
eral years and according to the new
Councilmen, some definite action will
be taken.
One plan that has been meeting with
considerable favor is the opening of a
street on each side of Bridge street
with bridges across the Necanicum
River and the clostng of Bridge street
to all vqhicle traffic, making it an es
planade from the Necanicum River to
the ocean front. A $30,000 natatorlum
is to be commenced January 1 at the
ocean end of Bridge street by J. E.
Oates.
The scheme of having three fine
streets running parallePfrom the rail
road to the beach includes the idea of
rounding the corners of all buildings
at street intersections, to give more
open space for street traffic.
All the new Councilmen have ex
pressed themselves as desirous of ad
vancing the interests of the city by
giving all possible aid toward the
opening of streets, the building of good
sidewalks and the construction of an
adequate sewer system.
The women members of the Im
provement Club and the Woman's Club
served a luncheon on education day
and netted over $25 for the benefit of
the free public restroom.

LAND PROJECT IS UP
Hollander Would Settle Ap
proximately 1,000,000 Acres.
AID WOULD BE FURNISHED
Proposal Is to Bring- 30 Families
First Tear With Minister, locat
ing Them Close Together on
IxBged-Off Area.
CHEHAUS, Wash.. Nov. 8. (Spe
cial.) N. B. Coffman. president of the
Southwest Washington Settlers' Agen
cy, and secretary Larsen of this city,
held a conference this week In Cheha
11s with I. V. Van Zanten on a coloniza
tion scheme, which It Is hoped will be
successfully worked- out to the advan
tage of Southwest Washington and
Western Oregon.
Mr. Van Zanten. who is from Hol
land, proposes to secure on long time
thousands of acres of logged-ofi lands
In the sections named for use In set
tling colonies of Hollanders. Mr. Van
Zanten Is a retired merchant and a
man of considerable wealth. He has
visited different portions of the United
States and Canada, where immigration
and colonization plans are being ex
ploited and has satisfied himself fully
that this section of the Pacific North
west is better suited to Ms purpose
than any other. Near Lynden, What
com County, Washington, there la s,
prosperous Holland colony.
Mr. Van Zanten desires to secure op
tions eventually on 1,000,000 acres,
which he plans to settle gradually.
Under Mr. Van Zanten's plan he
would settle 1200 acres of land the
first year, 4000 acres the second and
S2.000 acres the third year, with a 40
acre limit for' each settler.
Under the plan proposed Mr. Van
Zanten believes that by working set
tlement onto the more desirable lands
of the river bottoms and developing
them, later settlement of the uplands
would be comparatively easy. The pur
pose in a way has an element of phllan-r
thropy in It. or with the Intensely
crowded condition In Holland there
must be a chance for expansion and
where the Increase may be comfort
ably cared for so that they can make
homes for themselves and live In com
fort. There is no question but that
the Hollanders who would come to
uUs country would make good.
oretary Larson, of the Settlers'
Agency, attended a big meeting of rep
resentative owners of large tracts of
logged-oft lands held In Hoqutam last
night, and there seemed to be a strong
disposition to take the matter up ac
tively. If the plans are .carried out
Mr. Van Zanten proposes to bring his
first colony Into the Northwest next
year, approximately 80 families to be
the first delegation. He would settle
these people close together, and vhe
llrst building to be erected would be
their -.hurch. a preacher to accompany
them from their home country.
Mr. Van Zanten. who has been malt
ing his headquarters in Portland dur
ing his stay in the Northwest, will
make a short trip to California on
other business matters, after which he
will return to this section to conclude
his work hete. In the meantime it i.
confidently believed that the s.gnin
up of many thousands of acres under
a satisfactory agreement to the owners
will have been arranged.
There are so many possibilities in
the plan that the men who have been
carrying on the campaign for settle
ment of the logged-oQ lands of this

section of Washington are greatly
pleased to see something really prac

root practical and biggest colonization
schemes ever suggested !n this section.

Thin People
Can Increase Weight
Thin men and v.-omen who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or 15
pounds of healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note re
sults. Here Is a good test worth try
ing. First weigh yourself and measure
yourself. Then take Sargol one tablet
with every meal for two weeks. Then
weight and measure again. It isn't a
question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most any thin
man or woman can 'easily add from
five to eight pounds In the first, 14 -days
by following this simple direction. And
best of all, the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of Itself make fat.
but mixing with your food. It turns
the fats, sugars and starches of what
you have eaten. Into rich, ripe fat pro
ducing nourishment for the tissues
and blood prepares it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the- waste and does
it quickly and makes the fat producing
contents of the very same meals you
are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is safe,
pleasant, efficient and inexpensive.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young-! Bring; Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Thickness.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked ami
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Just a
few applications will prove a revela
tion if your hair is fading, gray or
dry, straggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way
is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing
about 50 cents a large bottle at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy," thus avoiding
a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractiveness.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, be
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a time:
by morning all gray hairs have disap
peared, and, after another application
or two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark glossy, s:ft and luxuriant. Adv.
