ALL FAVOR BETTER . 11 E)G SCHOOL BUILDINGS Prominent Gtizens Believe $100,000; Is Reeded for Improvements, but Differ as to Best Method of Raising This Amount. TO THE PUBLIC My MY MA A The proposed school tax levy for new public schools In Portland continues to cause considerable discussion among, the publlo and taxpayers. The following in terviews show a decided disposition In ttvor of new school buildings, and a Will ingness to fiay for thcra, but there Is a wide-difference of opinion as to whether the money should be raised by direct tax fit ion or the Issuance; of interest-bearing bonds: '.' -r, -v Dp. L. Buck advanced ah idea which is (Mil to be new as applied to Portland. He said: ' :- Y:'' - ! -"'v -' Y. - "I have not studied the subject myself, but there seems to be a general opinion 'lint we need more and bettcf . school tuilJlngs. If "bonds , axe "Issued, TVaay" Rive the people of Portia nd-that Is, the whooi districta chance tobuy them to take care of their own bonds. . I think they can be floated at home among the peoplo better for $100,000 of $250,000. The principal and the Interest would thus be kept at home. -1 recall the ease mid eagorness with which the people sub-f-oribed for United States 3-per-cent bond Issued during Cleveland's! last administra tion to re-establish the gold reserve, and 1 think- the same experience would be repeated In Portland if the bonds were offered to the people." ' ' Walter F. Burrell, a leading taxpayer d member of the. taxpayers' league, eid: ,v; .: "I think we should pay as 'we go. I hope, bonds will not be Issued. I think we should raise from $75,000 to $100,000,. or whatever sum may be decided on as actually needed, by a direct tax; It seems to be the rule that frhere a large sum of money Is raised by a bond issue that the people who have charge of the runa somehow feel under obligation to spend it, and arc not as careful with expendi tures as they would be tf the money were raised by direct taxation, or In -some other way. .There has been some talk among members of the taxpayers' league of floating bonds for half million .dollars and building schoolhouses of brick or stone, or both. Individually, I am op posed to this. .We are In a timber coun try and' can get. lumber cheap. Who can say that a brick or stone school building erected this year would not be out of date in 10 years in ventilation and , In other sanitary arrangements? The. last decade ? has brought - forth wonders ltvj the way of scientific invention and in discovery. . ' Things we never dreamed of a few years ago are " now regarded as necessities. I hope bonds will not be Is sued." . : .. f,f ',': v'Y;-- ;- Dr. 8. A.;. Brown of , the ' taxpayers' league said; "1 do not like the borrowing Idea. Pay as, you go, I say. , We have enough bonds to take care' of now. I understand Mr; .Wittenberg want $125, 000 for new school buildings, but that the other school directors tnmk that about $100,000 would be sufficient; for the purpose.,-1 think- we should be conservative In the matter and get along with $100,000 If we can. We'll have to pay for the bonds; there's no getting around that. We have bonds enough out now. , Pay as you go direct taxation la the .way I reel about it. A. B. Stelnbach said: ''Bonds by all means. If we can't pay the bonds, let them take the property. Our taxes are high enough now look what they are going to lwt-this year. As to the amount of money that Is needed" for new school buildings. I cannot say; I' have not looked into the' subject deep enough to express a competent opinion." une SPECIMENS OF OREGON FIR MAMMOTH STICKS TWO MET SQT7ABE BT 63 TEST XV 3LEJTOTH BEina PUT ON .

Komarkable pieces of timber are being put aboard the schooner Forester, which is loading at the Inmsn-Poulsen mill for , Kobe, Japan. They- are two feet Muare and 65 feet In length. . Every one of tho mammoth sticks" is absolutely perfect, so far as blemishes are & cerned. Not the remotest sign of a knot or weak spot is visible. ' : v , Those who Inspected the big timbers say that nowhere in the world outside of Oregon or Washington could such per feet specimens of fir be secured. Larger timbers could be found in California, but they would have to be of the red wood variety, which is far Inferior to the Oregon flr. ' ; .. '. A slight conception of the "Immense slzo of, one of the timbers , can be had when it Is known that it contains 2,920 lineal feet. If pot on the scales one of the sticks would tip the beams at a ton and a half, figuring on the basis of a pound to a foot, which is the usual esti mate made.' Placed on the market the lumber In one of the sticks would bring $50. Just how many of these monsters ere to be taken aboard Captain Daewer Itz. master of the Forester, does not yet linow. He says that he will probably take a full deckload, at least May Be for Portress. ' "What is going to be done with them et Kobe," he continued, "is more than 1 know, unless . Japan Intends to build a fortress with Oregon fir to keep out the Russians. By placing two of them to gether they would certainly prove al most as effective as armor plate. All told the Forester will take out more than a million feet of lumber." At the same mill the schooner1 Annie 13. Smale and barkentine Georglnia are slso receiving cargoes for the. Orient. They both go to Taku. China, The Smale -will carry . 1.600.000 feet, while the Geor - Blnla will take' out nearly 1.700,000 feet All three of the vessels will be ready to sail for the far east at about the same time. . The several captains are keeping a close watch on the war movement, ss they will be obliged to enter .right Into the center of hostilities If war Is declared. They are strongly talking of a plan . to provide themselves with a plumber of gatling guns before leaving . the Columbia river. "A lumber fleet turned Into a war isouadron," said , Captain ' Daewarltz, "would be a little oilt of the ordinary, but I propose to land those big sticks of Oregon fir at Kobe If I have to fight my way by Inches through the entire na val fleet commanded by officers of the ,cr.ar. . I think I will also arm all my crew Just In case of an emergency. I may need some help.'' RIVER CHANNEL IS NOW IN FINE SHAPE . A fine channel Is now open from Port- laud to the sea and the big dredge Co- lumbla has discontinued operations. She line been tied up at St Johns and, except ing the engineer, machinist and fore man, the crew has been paid off., Dur ing the past few months the Columbia cut deep channels through several bam bplow the mouth of the Willamette, and the river is now considered to be In bet tor shape than ver before. Cant. Harry Emkins says that a ves sel drawing 25 feet of . water would experience no difficulty now In going from this city to the ocean, and he at tributes the splendid condition of the channel to the untiring efforts of the Port of Portland commission. , -The basin for the dry dock has been completed and the dreduo Portland is 'ieepenlng a waterway from the dock site t the main channel in the river. J. M. Arthur & Co. have been awarded the contract for building the steel tank, adjoining the power, house, their bid being $667. - -The wooden tank : will be 1 furnishf-d by Fairbanks, Morse St Co. for $150. The same Arm will also sup ply the pumps for $205.- The. contract lor furnishings M feet ot belting was riven to the Page Belting company. whose bit was Vl,2.W. be re The Gould lines, will hereafter be rep. resented in Portland -by one agent and all the jsrork of these lines will be done in one office. The Gould lines Include the Missouri Pacific, the Iron Mountain & Southern. Denver & Rio Grande, Rio GrandeWesterfi, Texa&7Pacino "and the International & Great -Northern. General Agent McBride of the Rio Grande becomes general agent in this territory of the other lines of the Gould system and will hereafter emphasise the Missouri Pacific business instead of the Rio Grande. Last ; season the change was made tnrougnout tne country ana the Gould offices were bunched and In the East Missouri Pacific officials took the job of Rio Grande men, in the South Iron Mountain . people received the plums and in the West the Rio Grande men represented the system. Locally the Missouri Pacific. office was discontinued last summer but Mr. McBride until recently was known as the Rio Grande agent. A few weeks ago the Texas & Pacific was added to his list of roads and, then came an order from the Eastern headquarters directing that his office take charge of the Gould business and that the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain interests be pushed as .well as the Rio Grande. ' The orders were specific even to the window sign and today painters are engaged in eras ing the Rio Grande sign and placing In big bold letters the Missouri Paclflo and Iron Mountain signs with the rest of the lines tacked on as incidentals. In the East Missouri Paclflo officials will handle Rio Grande business and push the Interests of this road as the West ern men will that of the Missouri Pa cific George Qfauld officiates as presi dent of -all the lines - included In the system, following the example set by Mr. HarrJman.

Croesus, King of Lydla, Bad Troubles of Els Own, and There At Others. Croesus, the John D. Rockefeller of the kingdom of Lydla, was very well- to-do in r: worldly goods ' and chattels. "As rich as Croesus" is a saying about 2,500 years old. He had his troubles, however, and some of them were full grown. He was taken captive once by Cyrus and only saved himself from be ing burned alive by quoting a saying of Solon, the Sage. He finally had to flee bis kingdom for parts unknown. - Many of the rich man's troubles today come from high living and could ' be avoided. They are brought on by eat ing all kinds of rich, heavy foods at Ir regular times, lack of proper exerolse, undue mental strain, unnatural stimu lants, etc., and are commonly known as indigestion, dyspepsia "and weak stom ach. They are serious troubles all right but not only can they be avoided, but can also be cured, and that without loss of time or proper food and nourishment. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the certain relief of dyspepsia, rich and poor alike. There Is no such thing as stop ping their onward progress now. A great nation . has placed its stamp of approval upon their noble work. The thousands and thousands of cures Ahey have effected and the happiness result lng therefrom have made their name a household word throughout the land. The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets can be told in a word. They actu ally do the work that the weak and wasted stomach Is unable to do and al low it to recuperate and regain its strength. " They contain all the essen tial properties that the gastric Juice and other digestive fluids do, and they digest the food Just as a sound and well stomach would. They relieve the stom ach Just as one rested and refreshed workman relieves the one on day duty that is tired and worn, and Nature' does her town work of sestoratlon. , It Is -a simple, natural process that a child can understand. You can eat all you want without fear of results. Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets are for sale by all drug gists at 50 cents a box. Druggists alt know better thart to ttry to get along without them, as the femand for them is great and universal. HAVE "MOtt&Y ?? S Y - .'.'-' :'-..--.--'. y - ; f .
