A general survey of various city
departments for the purpose of sub
stituting extension telephone lines in
place of main lines has Deen ordered
by City Commissioner Pier, in charge
of the department of finance, as a
means of curtailing expense. It is
said that many - of the departments
are now equipped with main lines
where extensions would serve as well,
if not better.
Commissioner Pier will appeal' to
the council next Wednesday for an
appropriation of $1200 from the gen
eral fund to be placed in the tele
phone rotary account. Under the
terms of an agreement entered into
by the city with the telephone com
pany at the time that the consolida
tlon of the Pacific and Home com'
panies was approved, the city obtains
160 telephones without charge. How
ever charge is made for switchboards
and extensions in use which are in
excess of the free allotment.
Envelope Waste Spotted.
Curing the last six months Com
missioner Pier says he has kept a
close watch on many small leaks
which occur in the city hall, and all
of these will be placed for correction
before the members of the city coun
cil when the budget committee meets.
For instance, it is said that inter
departmental communications - are
placed in separate envelopes, even
when a number of communications
are addressed to . one department
This incurs waste of envelopes, and
while the cost is small, nevertheless
Commissioner Pier is confident that
the yearly savings will be worth
while.
Plea Made by Mayor.
Some weeks ago Mayor Baker
urged that a careful check be made in
all departments to stop any unneces
sary expense.
It is generally believed that in the
majority of departments an earnest
effort has been made to follow the
admonition offered by the mayor.
However, Commissioner Pier, who is
in charge of the finance and the pur
chasing department, is in a better
position to notice the small unneces
sary wastes than are even the com
missioners who supervise the vari-
. ous departments.
The budgets have not yet been com
pletely compiled. As quickly as they
are the council will meet as a budget
committee. Every effort will be made
to curtail all expenses and to allow
'only the actual needs of the city.
. Opposition Is Expected.
As a result some interesting ses
sions are certain, for the budgets, so
far completed, indicate . that almost
without exception department heads
are pruning all amounts to a mini
mum. An effort further to reduce
iuch estimates is considered almost
certain- to meet with vigorous oppo
sition on the part of the commis
sioners heading such department.
One fortunate situation is that if
the council overlooks . any . curtail
ments, the tax supervision and con
servation commission will probably
detect them. As a result, it is al
most certain that what is allowed
the city for the next fiscal year will
be for actual necessities ' only.

STATUE STIRS INTEREST
'LAD-T OF WOODS' CARVED OXTT
OF CRATER LAKE ROCK.
Figure Said to Represent Maid
Whose Tears Fill Bowl of
Extinct Volcano.
Much interest has been shown in
the "Lady of the Woods," the figure
of a girl carved on a large boulder,
found recently about a mile and a
half from Crater lake. The figure
was sketched by Anne Shannon
Monroe, who visited the spot, and de
scribed by her in a recent issue of
The Oregonian and since that time
others who have seen the interesting
statue have sent in their theories and
opinions about it.
"I was much interested in tne de
scription by Anne Shannon Monroe of
the carved figure found in the rock
near Crater lake." wrote E. E. Magee
of Klamath Falls. "Some time ago
I visited the spot and to me the fig
ure typifies the 'Sperit of the Moun
tain,' weeping over the destruction of
the noble Mount Mazama ages ago.
And may not her tears, shed during
the countless years, account lor the
wonderful lake that has taken the
place of the beautiful mountain?"
The carved figure was not signea
by the sculptor, but the theory that
the sculptor was unknown was dis
puted recently when F. E. Miller of
th is city said that ur. Jari . cusn.
then a doctor in the United States
engineers, had carved the figure in
his spare time during the summer of
1917. Some controversy has arisen as
to this date, since It has been stated
that the statue was seen before this
time.
Those who prefer to designate the
statue as the work of an "unknown
sculptor." and those who accept the
statement that it was carved in the
last few years, both agree in desig
nating the piece of work as remark-:
able. Its lifelike appearance, con
sidering that the figure was carved
from stone, is of chief interest.
PARTNERS DIVIDE STORES
CHARLES F. BERG TAKES OVER
LEXXOX'S HERE.
Firm Is Dissolved, Due to Exten
sive Interests, and Seattle Busl
ness Taken Over by Lennon.
Charles F. Berg and A. J. Lennon,
who have been operating stores in
Portland and Seattle -under the firm
name of Lennon's for the last 14
years, dissolved partnership "as of
September 1," according to announce
ment made yesterday by Mr. Berg.
Mr. Berg takes over the Portland
business of the firm, which will be
operated under the name of Charles
F. Berg, and Mr. Lennon took the
Seattle stores.
At the time of the dissolving of
partnership Lennon's was operating
three stores In Seattle and two in

Charles F. Berg, who takes over
Portland stores of Lennon's. .
Portland. One of the stores here Is
on Morrison near Sixth and the other
is the Waist Shop, in the Portland
hotel building.
Mr. Berg said the decision to divide
the business between the two partners
came as a result of the fact that the
interests of the concern had become
so extensive. He Issued a statement,
In which he thanked the publio for
past patronage, which had made pos
sible the growth of the concern, la
-
conjunction with his announcement of
the change. .
Mr. Lennon first started a store In
Seattle In 1905. The following year
he became associated with J. D.
Loughrey and a store was conducted
in San Francisco, of which Mr.
Loughrey was manager. In 1907 Mr.
Berg came from San Francisco to
Portland and opened a store at the
present site of his Morrison-street
store, which was made a part of the
Lennon concern. In 190S Mr. Berg
and Mr. Lennon purchased the interest
of Mr. Loughrey and then resold him
the San Francisco store. This made
Mr. Berg and Mr. Lennon equal part
ners in the business of the firm in
Portland and Seattle.

RIVER MAKES RECORD.
Cblef of American Aid Mission in
Germany Also In Charge of
Russian Situation.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. Sept. 10. (Spe
cial.) Philip H. Carroll, owner of a
Hood River orchard in the Oak Grove
section, who enlisted In the army at
the outbreak of the great war, serv-
inar as a major with the 91st division.
and who is now engaged among
American relief workers in feeding
those portions of Europe famine
striken as a result of the war, has
made good in a big way. according
to a letter Just received here by Marie
Lornel, an American newspaper cor
respondent in Europe.
Writing on August 1. from Ham
burg, Germany, the correspondent
says In part:
"Mr. Carroll Is chief of the Ameri
can relief administration mission In
Germany, and it is through hie hands
that a large part of the food destined
for relief of the starving children of
Russia will pass when the American
Relief association begins its work
of mercy in that country.
"Mr. Carroll was one of the first
persons called into consultation by
Walter Lyman Brown, director for
Europe, when the Russian emergency
arose, and his great talent for or
ganisation was put Into immediate
use. He accompanied Mr. Brown to
Riga to assist la arranging details
Washington
for the transit of supplies. Major
Carroll's long experience in handling
relief foods will prove a valuable
asset In the quick and efficient
transportation of food to Russia.
"The Hamburg mission Is one of
the most Important in the service, and
calls for extraordinary executive
ability."
