PAVING ISSUE VOTE DENIED rial! to lVec Span Approaches of Hestrictloii by Owners 1'alls. "Because of the opposition of Com missioner Daly, the voters at the June election will not be permitted to vote upon the question of taking away from property owners on streets leading to trans-river bridges the power to kill proceedings for the improvement of these streets. Commissioner Dleck, who proposed the measure in the hope that It would enable the city to force prop orty owners on Broadway on the East Side to pave their street, withdrew It when Commissioner Daly announced his opposition. For years the city has been trying to have Broadway street paved, because it Is the main approach to the Broad way bridge. Each time proceedings have been started they have been killed by the property owners. CITY AWES OLD CHIEF Walla-Ta-Lum Concludes That Nobody Ever Stays Home. J . . ' I . 5 lit Cr- X?... ' - .

Kedniiiu, .ot Needed in Court Tor Day, Takes on .'ey Dignity Willi IH ft of Glasses Skyscrapers Termed 'HtooKtini Houses." Chief Wallu-ta-luni. aged leader of the "Wasco Indians, over whose head has passed 103 years, spent h busy and rather bewildering day in Port land yesterday. Mis presence was not required at the Federal Court during the day, he having come to l'ortland in connection with a suit relating to Indian fishing rights on the I'DDer Columbia, and he had ample leisure to go about tho city and see Its strange sights. This is his first visit to Portland and he expressed, through an inter preter, his amazement .it the tall buildings- and the crowds of people he met everywhere. He came to the con clusion that nobody in Portland ever stays at home, but all their time is spent in rushing about tho downtown streets. Sky-erapera Arte Aced Chief. "Skookum houses" was his descriD- tion of the skyscrapers. "Skookum" means strong in the Chinook language, the only one that the old thief speaks. :ind the term he used is that applied by Indians to a Jail. The old Indian was" supplied bv a friend with a pair of glasses yesterday that he might better dodge the auto mobiles that make it Interesting for pedestrians in crossing the downtown street intersections. Up to now. he has never felt the need of glasses, but when they were procured for him he seemed to take on a new air of dignity and was pleased at his new decoration. Yesterday morning the chief visited John A. McQuinn, who surveyed tho boundary line of the Warm Springs Keservatlon. He looked over the maps, which seemed entirely clear to him. In the afternoon he visited Senator Dane, who showed the chief every con sideration.- and later in the day he went shopping with Mrs. "W. C. John son. Purchases -of beads of many colors were made. ("mile- Are AVen by Women. Kverywhcre iabout the city - Chief "TVallu-.ta-lum attracted much atten tion arid wherever he paused crowds soon gathered about him.- Ho could irt understand the manners' of the people who showed fo much interest in him and expressed this wonder to his friends. It was noticed, however, that as the day lengthened he became more used to the states of passers-by and on a number of occasions he. was seen te, smile back at women who looked at him curiously. In his native dress the chief would attract attention anywhere. Wearing oecasins. an Indian robe, and a par ticularly barbaric ncadclress, all wanted to take a close look at him. The head dress, which is worn at tribal dances and other ceremonials, is made of fur. decked with eagle feathers, and is adorned -with long .strands of the chief's own raven-black hair. 3bZLi .L, s: , SPRAYING SYSTEM ISEU fO KII.I- .MOSftiri'OKS, Sanitary inspectors in the City Health Bureau commenced lnst week the annual crusade against mosquitoes. "Witb patent sprayers the men wlarlcd the task of. sprinkling all ponds, lakes and stagnant pools with oil to kill the young mosquitoes and the mosquito eggs. The work will be continued until all neighboring breeding places for the mosquitoes are coated with oil. Supplies for the crusaders are carried on a truck. A mixture of crude oil and kerosene is placed in hand tanks resembling fire extinguiKhcrs. These are pumped up and the oil is squirted in a spray out into the pond or stag nant pool. This is the first time sprayers have been used in this work. Their use enabled the coating of the green.scum with oil as well as the water. Tho oil forming on- the surface of the water is blown about the lake or pool by the wind, gathering up and killing the mosquito eggs and young mosquitoes as it moves. As a result of the crusade Portland promises to be comparatively ' free "from mosquitoes during the year. PLAY JOY T O KIDDIES Idols of Fairyland Live in - Story at .

The matinee was one long-drawn-out delight to these i-hild-ish p;Crons of the story-book drama There was no doubt as to the chil dren's approval of the portrayal of the amazing wanderings of Alice through the land of such delightful make, believe. The big theater rang with their eager laughter and their quick applause. Gifts of flowers sent tip to Ihe young players were followed by the hearty good wishes of every young ster in the house, for all seemed to find pleasure in thee gifts. Perhaps act-2 was the most pleasing situation In the whole play to the young spectators. Tweedledum and Tweedledee. the Cheshire at and the bluebird, together with the live flowers, were objects of delight. - In the first part of this act the amusing duel scene occurs. Scene in this act. the mad tea pariy. evoked much laughter and applause as well. When Richard Nunn. tiie dormouse, squeaked at ' just the right- moment, there were shrieks of laughter. But it is hard to pick out any one spot in the performance that was more delightful for the children than another. The art ernoonv passed all too quickly for the "kiddies" and too soon the per formance came to a close. It will te hard to convince hese youngsters that the travels of Alice were not really, truly happenings. HONORS THRUST ON UNDINE Sleamcr to Carry Clubwomen to Sec Multnomah Kails. . Once more honors have been thrust upon the steamer Undine, which re cently bore a distinguished company of Northwestern citizens to Lewiston and return to celebrate the opening of the Celilo Canal. This time the TTndine Will be used by the excursion committee of the Ore gon Federation of Womens Clubs for a trip to Multnomah Falls and return during the Biennial Federation Coun cil meeting to be held In Port land the first ' week in June. The capacity of the Undine, however, is not sufficient to care for more than one half of the 600 or more excursionists, so the party will be divided; half will be taken to the picnic grounds by train or automobile, and those who go by water will come back overland, giving all a chance to view the Columbia River scenery as well as the Columbia Highway. One hundred Portland club women will serve as hostesses, each taking lunch for six, thus providing for themselves and five guests each.

Leak-Proof Inner Tubes Goodyear Laminated Tubes . 14 Heavier 20 Lower Layer on Layer Here is something every motorist should know. Goodyear Laminated Tubes are not built . of one jhick piece of rubber. They are made of many thin layers each of pure rubber vul canized together in one solid, extra heavy tube. In a thick piece of rubber, flaws may be hidden. And the flaws may go clear through. In these thin sheets, any tiny flaw shows up and is at once eliminated. These thin, perfect sheets, wrapped layer on layer, make a tube that can't leak. And the valve patch can't leak. It is part of the Tube not stuck on. Please remember that. Many a tire trouble is due to a leaky Tube. Prices Cut 20 On February 1st, despite this added thick ness, we cut our Tube prices 20 per cent. Now these Laminated Tubes, built extra thick, cost about the same as others. There is not even a price reason for taking a lesser Tube. Always Gray Goodyear Laminated Tubes are gray, the natural rubber color. Pure rubber must be gray. A colored tube has much mineral matter in it, and that holds friction heat a Tube's worst enemy. We do not adulterate. Made Extra Thick Goodyear Laminated Tubes are also extra-thick. They . were always so. But this year we have added an extra 14 per cent on the average all pure rubber. The result is, these Tubes far outwear any tire.

Lecturer Declares It His Miasioa to Restate Uospet Terms That Can Be Apprehended. The first annual New Thought con ference under the auspices of the Ore gon Xew Thought committee opened In Portland yesterday at tne Lincoln High School. The sessions started last night with an address by Dr. A. C. Grler, pastor of the Church of Truth of Spo kane, Wash. Dr. Grier's sermon was on "The Re Statement of the Teachings of Christ." "It Is Rlmost Impossible to restate the teachings of Christ," he said, "for the teacher and the teachings are Identical. In the ages past the churches have been the guiding- light for a groi. iti ir humanity, but now the vision is fading, ami a greater, a broader and newer vision must supplant It. The fading vision is leaving mankind with out a light on the stormy sea of life. The cry for help has become- as great as it was la the dark ages before the gospel of Christ lightened the world. As Christ came to the rescue of hu manity in those times, so must some spiritual instructor come to the aid of humanity in this age. I have dedi cated my life to this cause. It is my mission to restate the gospel in terms that can be apprehended by men. "Jesus found that the nature of men is one with th nature of God. The dominion of God is writen in the nature of man." . . In closing he said, "Mankind, in its darkness, will only find light through this new rlsion of. Christ,' not as a spirit, a thing apart from mankind, but a living personality who feels "the power of the soul when It knows its dominions." The conference is held In order to get In touch with and co-operate with the National New Thought congress which will be held In San Francisco, August 30 to .September 5.
