door a rod flag exposed, denoting acar-
let fever. The houaea in question are
of the ramshackle order supported over
slough on stilts. The candy made la
that which la hawked about the atreeta i
' br trav oeddlera. a number or wnora
are employed by the two men who con
Aart the business.
It would be difficult In all Portland
- to locate a more filthy, uncleanly and
thoroughly unhygenlc place In which to
' make candy than the basement of the
bouse at the above number. Even If
1 ' anrh war the onlv condltiona the men
' ahould be closed up. but when candy
"la made and sold from me piace wun

sumes little leas than criminal form.
-JTot Xaxiag Caafly."
' "W have not made any candy here
la ten days" aald a man giving hla
name aa Joe Martin, who claimed to
be a partner In the business.
Martin claimed that hla partner, a
man named MacOunsl. waa out of the
city. A crudely written algn appeared
' on the house to the effect that the
candy company desired to reach the
. art of . candy making and offers to
quip people with pota, kettles and
tools to make candy after learning.
Tba company even waa willing to aell
out completely.
.Actual condltiona at thla place may.
be summed up aa rouowa:
The place where the candy which ia
old on the streets la made is In the rear
nt a basement, the front portion of
which is used aa a wood shed. A small
partition divided Into two compart
ments is the place of manufacture. In
one of the made-to-order room a, con
structed crudely, evidently by the men
themselves. Is a etove and a kettle and
, long ainc lined bench extending along
the aide. Nothing about the place had
been cleaned in weeks. Dirt black
candy making toola dangled from hooka
and the hardened syrup from the last
candy making lined the large kettle.
A smoldering fire In the range was nec
essary Martin aald to keep the place at
temperature to protect the candy
which was on hand, from spoiling.
In the other compartment of the nar
row plaoe dirty pota and pang, old
clothing, a mattress and bedding of the
filthiest character were strewn about
If It Is poMnlble for tho reader to con
Jure up In hla or her mind one of th
filthiest hovela Imaginable, then a per

waa strewn about the floor and

In. rront or the place and within a
few feet of the house from whlrh the

were romping and playing. The house
In which the candy place Is located Is
used besides as an abiding place by
many people. Rooms for light house
keeping are rented and the tinny Wu

reek with filth and dirt. Directly
over the candy making place la the
kitchen of one family. Huddled Into
that kitchen was a woman with several
children. No carpet on the floor and
large cracks in the floor permits the
filth to sift through and disease and
other germs cannot help but sprinkle
on the candy aa made by the proprie
tors of the Portland Candy company.

NEW FALL TIES ARE CREATIONS
PICKED OUT BY WOMEN IN EUROPE
Just because a few of America's lead
Ins society women went to Europe this
summer and saw the beautiful purple
Silks worn in Paris, every man who
' pretends to wear the correct thing in
scarfs and neckties, will have to dabble
In purple and hello around the holiday
season. Thla edict has gone forth and
la the first instance known where
women have been able to pick out neck
ties for men.
Herman A. Meyera of New York City
and representing one of the leading
Arms In the country In this particular
line Is at the Portland hotel, where he
told about this season s wear as he
showed off the particular shades that
. won the eyes and favor or tne Ameri
cans Jn Paris.
"Holiday shades will be purple and
hello," said Mr. Meyers aa he dexter-
ously placed a huge roll of the beautl
: ful silk below an original painting from
the New York art exhibit. "Blending
'of colors is another thing that will
make neckties a thing; of beauty and a
Joy forever this year. We have bronze
brown and Orleans blue, while in the
red we have shadea that are bewilder-
Thla series Is a blend gathered from
a tie worn by the man whr played the

"This Copenhagen blue is a beautiful
thing that will undoubtedly prove pop-

These have been proving the best sell

ones on which the most work has been
done to procure harmony. An effort has
oeen maae to procure an oriental effect
Thla la the result."
And here Mr. Meyers showed a beau-
iiim piece oi suk which looked more
like a delicate Mosaic, ao dainty and
light was It In texture Ahova th.

All about the room, In huge wicker
baskets, on tables and clinging around
large earthen vases, are rollx nH rn.
of silks of the moat delicate tints and
textures, while the shades soften and
dazzle in turn. One is bewildered by the
beautiful colors and becomes anxious
for the seasons to roll around to see th.
effect of the silk when made Into ties.

Bt. Paul, Sept. 20. After a anlrlted
contest Denver has been selected as
next year s meeting place for the grand
ioujo qi uao r eiiows.
ment of this thoroughfare the club In
structed Its standing committee to nsk
the city to put in 20-Inch mains which
they have on hand Instead of walling
on the Oswego plant or the eastern
shipment of 16-Inch malnsj before the
paving can be finished. This step Is
thought most imperative by the busi
ness men, aa contractors say unless the
street Is paved before It becomes soaked
with the fall rains it will have to go
over until another summer. The streets
of th central east side absorb much
more water on account of their com
position of soft soil than the streets in
oher parts of the city.

H. Prouty and Frank Perkins were d-
pointed a special committee to confer
with Manager Fuller regarding the Issu

from the Oregon City cars, compelling
the patrons of that line who live in
remote parts of the cltv to give the
Portland Railway. Light Power com

Condemn Initiative Riders.
Resolutions condemning the practice
of Incorporating "riders" In initiative
petitions such as were adopted by other
organizations were introduced and as
sented to. Several measures were nearly
killed at the last election on account
of such "riders," notably the appropria
tion for a flreboat which Included the
"dry main rider," which was strongly
protested lay citizens in the suburbs
because It was a measure that could
bnly benefit a small section near the
river.
The ordinance passed requiring black
sidewalks to be laid in Tilaee of the
natural white ones was Indorsed by J.
Frank Perkins, but the measure is not
enerally accepted on the east aide.
!. H. Raffety .1b a staunch enemy of the
ordinance and predicts for it a short
lire. He says the beauty of the city
would at once fade away should these
black sidewalks now be laid In the midst
of the clean-appearing wtle ones. He
says the beat and light in Portland de
mands no such neutral effect as It is
claimed the black sidewalks will bring
about. He says he will Introduce his
objections In every east side club until
the measure Is defeated

BOND ISSUE IS TESTED
Water Board Will Discon
tinue Work Pending
Outcome of Suit.
The city water board will lay no more
water mains out of the appropriation
made available at the last general elec
tion until the validity of the charter
amendment prescribing the sale of water
bonds has been established. The board
decided to discontinue its policy of lay
ing mains to be paid out or the bond
Issue after discussing an opinion of the
city attorney, which in part is as fol
lows: "I am of the opinion, and have so ad
vised the other departments of the mu
nicipal government, that all of the acts
passed by the voters at the last gen
eral election must be treated as valid
amendments until they are annulled by
a court of competent jurisdiction. I
recognise, however, the urgent necessity
of laying these mains at once, and the
uncertainty of proceeding under the re
cent amendment, pending the suit which
assails Us validity. It Is possible, too,
that the board will be enjoined from
proceeding under that amendment It
would seem that the board would Incur
no liability by proceeding to lay the
mains according to the old methods,
pending the decision of the suit, since
the council has made the appropriation
ror tne current year and since the fund
has been accumulated and in the hands
of the board.
"No Droperty-owner would be taxed
by ihe laying of the mains, as the fund
is already provided by the collection of
water rates. It is Impossible to foresee
any contingency, out t tninK the board
will be safe in laying the mains and
paying for ihem under the fcld method.
although it is a technical violation of
the amendment."
