MR. YEON'S CASE PENDING
Report Favoring Catting of Road
master's Field and- Plea Against
Such Action Are Filed Tax
Is Loirer Than Last.
Multnomah County's tax levy for
1915 was tentatively agreed upon yea
terday by the County Commissioners
in acting upon the report of the budget
advisory committee as 22.05 mills. The
committee's report was adopted gener
ally with a slight increase in the rate
of taxation for general county pur
poses. The levy will be about 5 mills
less than last year's, which was 27
mills.
The Commissioners took no action on
the recommendations of the committee
as to the retention of John B. Teon
as roadmaster. Two reports were sub
mitted, one adopted at the last session
of the committee that Mr. Teon have
charge of the construction of the Co
lumbia Highway from the city limits
to the county line, and a separate re
port, submitted by J. N. Teal, George
Lawrence, Jr., and Leo Friede, recom
mending that Mr. Teon be retained as
head of the county's road department.
Both recommendations were placed on
file.
Office Term Indefinite.
The Commissioners say there is no
need for action on this subject as yet,
as they believe Mr. Teon will hold his
office until such time as it is seen fit
to elect someone to the position. It is
declared that no definite term was set
for Mr. Yeon when he was elected
roadmaster In November. 1913, by vote
of Commissioners Holraan, Lightner
and Hart.
Slight change in the estimates of
the budget advisors was found neces
sary by the Commissioners at yester
day's meeting. The item of interest that
must be paid on the $1,250,000 issue of
interstate bridge bonds had not been
provided for and the figures used as
a basis by the committee as to revenue
received from sources other than taxes,
as well 8s another item, were found
to have been incorrect.
Emergencies were not provided for
ty the budget committee and under
this head comes the planking of the
Vancouver, trestle, that will cost $10,
000, money which is not otherwise pro
vided. Rise in Levy Is Made.
The levy for general county pur
poses had to be raised somewhat over
last year's figure because of the $6,000.
000 decrease in assessed values this
year, making a higher millage neces
sary to raise the same sum of money
The budget committee figured on
raising $895,000 for general county pur
poses, but the Commissioners, in view
of the items that had been overlooked.
Increased this sum to $1,005,000. It
was declared by the Board, in agree-
lng to this tentative figure, that the
policy of enconomy announced as the
chief principle of the budget committee
has been adhered to and the estimates
are not one whit above actual require
ments for carrying on county business
ana are. In fact, less than the sums
really needed.
There is a decrease in the levy for
road funds, last year's tax for this pur
pose having been 1.8 and 1.6 was fixed
for the coming year. The library levy
remains the same as last year, at .45
mills, although approximately $2500
less will be raised for that purpose.
Two Tears Compared.
A comparison between the levies of
1914 and 1915, showing the purposes to
which the funds will be applied, is
shown in the following table:

which the Commissioners could act in

that time the tentative levy deter
mined yesterday will be discussed and

Payment of $250,000 ftir fat show cat
tle, hogs and sheep, and of 175,000
more for pure-bred foundation stock
marks the fourth annual exhibition of
the Pacific International Livestock
Association, which came to a close last
night, as one of the most successful
In Northwest history.
Apart from its success from a finan
cial standpoint was the awakening of
Interest in the livestock Industry and
the great educational value of the show
to both breeders and general public
More than 40,000 people visited the
North Portland stockyards during the
week's exhibition, and none went who
did not return with iiore knowledge
f one of the world's greatest lndustrres.
It is in the future that the promoters
will realize to the fullest degree the
worth of such a livestock show as
that which brought the most famous
stockmen of the Northwest to Portland
last week.
It was a success well worth the
money and time expended a success
even greater in an educational than in
a financial way," remarked O. M.
Plummer, general manager of the live
stock show, last night, "There are few
that will dispute the y.alue of the ex
hibition to men interested in stock.
There Is nothfnjIn the Northwest that
could equal 8. r
Value Emphasised to Breeders.
"The small breeder who spent a week
at the show mingled with the older and
more experienced stock men and. went
home inspired by their success. The
show aided them In climbing from a
rut. They found new ideas aa to rela
tive merits of their cattle, by com
parison with the best this section could
produce.
"There has been a splendid feeling
shown by all connected with the show
the breeders, feeders and those who
had cattle consigned to the exhibition.
They have helped us in every way to
make of the show a success. And, in
turn, they have been generous in their
praise of these who promoted the
show."
"If by holding these shows," Mr.
Plummer continued, or otherwise at
tracting stock raisers to this city, we
can Induce the stock men of the Pa
cific Northwest to "ship their stock to
Portland, this city will become one ot
the greatest stock centers of the Na
tion. Stockyards and packing plants
made Omaha. St. Paul, Kansas City and
helped Chicago along. Why not Port
land? "Portland now has the best equipped
and largest packing plant on the Paci
fic Coast in the Union Meat Company.
Our output is greater than any other
on the Coast. The Armour plant in
Los Angeles is a close second and it
means everlasting hustle for the bus
iness men of Portland if they would
make a second Chicago out cf Portland.
"The Union Meat Company and the
Union Stockyards Company are doing
their part to this end. What Port- !
land needs most is a concerted nsove- I
ment of the various business clubs of
the city to Join the campaign."
Fine Cattle Bought In.
The Interest of the packers in the
stock sales was one of the features of
the show. C. C. Colt, president of the
Union Meat Company, contracted for
many choice cattle, hogs and sheep at
satisfactory prices. The M. J. Gill Com
pany, Sterett & Oberle Company and
others were among the packers who bid
for the championship cattle.
The prices at the shorthorn sale on
Thursday ran to the highest average,
possibly, of any similar sale in the
Northwest, said the promoters. The Hol
stein sale, which occupied yesterday and
Friday, was also satisfactory to the
consignors and buyers. George W. Gue.
manager of the sale, has already made
reservations for two days at the 1915
show.
The management of the exposition
has announced the date of December 6
to 11. inclusive, for the 1915 event.
Colonel Kraschel, of Iowa, who was
In charge of the shorthorn sale, de
clared that the breeders of this coun
try should be proud of their offerings
He has sold shorthorns all through the
corn belt states, but declared that there
was no necessity for any of the West
Coast breeders going beyond the boun-
FLASHLIGHT TAKES JUST BEFORE
daries of their own states for founda
tion stock. y
Westers Stock Praised.
Eugene Hastings, of New York, edi
tor of the Holstein-Freislan World, the
official organ of Holstein breeders of
the United States, was a visitor at
the show. He was optimistic as to the
future of the Western country and had
high prkise for cattle being bred in
the Northwest.
W. H. Daughtrey, president of the
Portland Union Stockyards Company;
C. M. McAlister and John Fleming, spe
cialists of the yards, leave today for
Lewiston, Idaho, as guests of the North
west Livestock Association, repaying
the compliment of the visit last week
to Portland of E. E. Flood, president,
and F. M. Rothrock, treasurer, of the
Idaho show.
The banquet Thursday night, given
by President Daughtrey to the stock
men present, was the outcome of a
small dinner of two years ago given
to breeders at the annual show. There
were more than 250 stockmen present
Thursday night at the Imperial Hotel,
where the banquet was held.
School Children Guests.
The officials of the fourth annual
show, to whom participants give credit
for its success, were O. M. Plummer,
secretary-treasurer of the Portland
Union Stockyards Company, manager;
N. C. Maris, secretary, and L. R. Mc
Gee, office manager of the stockyards,
treasurer. No admission was charged
to the show and no concessions were
granted on the grounds.
Several thousand school children
were .guests of the show yesterday,
being piloted about by the Muts. A
large attendance marked the closing
day. Interest centered in the Hereford
and Holstein sales, which netted many
thousand dollars.
In addition to the Livestock show,
the Oregon Butter and Cheese Makers
conducted a butter and cheese show at
North Portland. The poultry show
closed one of its most successful ex
hlbtions in the Plttock block last night.
The Oregon Horse and Cattle Raisers'
Association also met In this city during
the week.
Shippers Blamed for Disease.
One of the most '. important topics
that came up during the week was the
hoof and mouth disease, which has
caused a wholesale quarantine of cattle
throughout the East and Middle West.
One solution to the matter of the
rapid contagion ' was given. ' C. M.
McAlister, In a discussion with H. R.
Smith, professor at the University of
Minnesota, who was brought to Port
land as a judge of stock at the Live
stock show, declared that the contagion
was caused directly by the carelessness
of shippers.
"The answer to that question is the
failure of shippers to clean out and
disinfect stock cars before loading
cattle. Some of the cattle cars I found
had bedding that seemed to have been
placed in there 10 years ago. It never
had been changed. The same com
plaints belong to nearly every cattle
car in the United States today," Mr.
McAlister declared.
The following is the list of cows sold

BUSY EAST SEEM ON TRIP
Hy Ellcrs Returns Optimistic After
Viewing Factories Hard at Work.
Most optimistic reports were brought
to Portland yesterday by Hy Eilers on
his return from a six-weeks' Eastern
trip.
Mr. Eilers saw the re-opening of the
steel mills at Gary. Ind., and the cot
ton factories of New England and silk
mills of New Jersey all busy. At
Detroit, he found the automobile manu
facturers struggling to keep up with
their orders.
The new banking system has as
sisted in the business revival. Mr.
Eilers believes, as in his words, it "sup
plies money for every legitimate need.
One of the most pleasant features of
th trip was a visit with Thomas A.
Edison at his plant at West Orange

CATHOLICS TO MEET TODAY
Delegates to Discuss Mexican Situa
tion In St. Francis Hail.
Delegates from the various Catholic
parishes, lodges and societies will meet
at 3 o'clock this afternoon In St. Fran
cis' Hall, at East Eleventh and Pine
streets, to consider the Mexican situa
tion. Affairs in Mexico, so far as members
of the Catholic Church are concerned,
now have reached a critical stage. The
situation was brought to a crisis last
week, it is pointed out, by a public ex
posftlon of the facts in an article print-
This Solves the Christ
mas Gift Problem
The Greatest Distributon of Pianos
and Player Pianos Ever Witnessed
Hast Come to a Close Now.
When dozens of instruments are sold
by Eilers Musio House dally; when In
struments to the value of tens of thou
sands of dollars are being taken each
week, what does it mean?
Doesn't it mean that hundreds of
shrewd and far-sighted business men
and women of this city and state are
recognizing the great opportunity
which most unusual conditions have
made possible?
Doesn't it mean that these people are
going out of the way now to get a
piano because so much of actual intrin
sic worth is now obtainable for so little
money?
Would -all these people and there are
hundreds upon hundreds of them, as
you can readily verify would all these
people, we say, buy pianos now if they
did not find Instruments obtainable for
less than ever heretofore and undoubt
edly for less than ever hereafter?
That's it In a nutshell. The low
prices on the Nation's finest makes,
coupled with the most extraordinary
easy terms of payment, makes this
good piano selling. The Manufacturers'
Emergency and Surplus Sale In charge
of the manufacturers' direct represen
tatives at Eilers Music House will solve
the Christmas-gift problem this year
in a sensible, worth-while way.
The reasons and the peculiar condi
tions that have made this sale possi
ble have been stated heretofore.
We again say it the sale must close
within the next few days, because the
Instruments are rapidly being sold out.
Whether it's an old-style piano for
$35 or $40, or one of the Nation's most
costly $1500 Chickerlngs at the reduced
sale prices, now is the time to arrange
for one. It does not take much money.
Payments may be started after Christ
mas. The main thing is to select your
piano or player piano with free music
rolls now, while these low emergency
sale prices are still In effect.
We arrange payments as best suits
the convenience of any home.
, An old piano, or an organ, or a phon
ograph and records may be turned In as
part payment for one of these elegant
new instruments at these extraordinary
low prices.
If you can, call In person; write for
actual photographs. But do It at once.

The Roosevelt story charged that va
rious bands of Mexican revolutionists
have been guilty of atrocities against
Catholic clergy and nuns and that this
condition has prevailed with the knowl
edge of the authorities at Washington.
Whether a protest shall be sent to
the United States Government will be
one of the subjects of consideration
