"It le Inconceivable that any resident

an abattoir In that part of the city,"
aid Ernest Kroner, one of the large
realty ownera In the 'district. "But to
those who do favor It 1 want to aubmit
some of the oonaequencea which are
aure to .follow such a course. In the
first place, every argument In favor of
admitting slaughter-houses In South
Portland applies with equal force to ad-
and more so because the contaminated
water always, and the contaminated air
most of the time, moves from south to
north, and an abattoir in the north end
of the city is therefore less objection
able than one in the south end, affecting
smaller number Of people.

- "It la eaaler to grant this privilege
than It will be to take It away or even
to restrain or regulate It; once this
plant la In operation nothing less than
the most Intolerable abuse and violation
of nuisance laws will be considered suf
ficient on the part of the police power
for action against the concern. It will
be asserted, and rightly, by the slaughter-house
people that such Inconven
iences ss odor, the transport of cattle
through the streets, etc., are Inseparable
from the .business; further, that the
odor Is not injurious to health (snd
aareenble to some), and such statements
( will be supported by abundant testl-
jnuny; hibo iaai Having nuiiuucu mv in
vestment of large capital In the city
and granted special and extraordinary
privileges as an Inducement and con
sideration, the city is in fairness bound
to tolerate the necessary inconveniences
of the business, so long as they cannot
be proven to positively endanger lire,
"Much stress la laid on the state
ment by the repreaentatlvea of the pack'
Ing concern that theirs la going to be a

govsrnment - does not concern Itself
about the people living In the vicinity

to establish In South Portland, . If it
grows to be a $1,600,00 property, will
send forth a smell that will be. offensive

Into the river' and will be deposited In
the recesses under our six ' or seven

is to learn as to the relativ$ standing: and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attajned to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term, implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
. truthfully 'the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we hava adopted -the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Sennaas-iore fully descriptive of the -remedy, but doubtlessly -itwill always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get it beneficial effects always

DELAYED PAYMENTS
Bridge Company Has Ee
ceived Nothing for Work
Done Two Years Ago.
Members of the Judiciary committee
of the council listened to a petition of
the Pacific Bridge company through its
representative, George . Simons, yester
day for interest on money tied up in
street improvement work for which the
city has never paid although the work
has been finished for many months and
accepted by the city. After listening
to arguments made by Simons and his
attorney, L. A. McNary, the committee
referred the question to City Attorney
Kavanaugh.
It is due to this delay In paying con
tractors that haa caused the price of
city work to be so high. In nearly
every instance the city Is compelled
to pay almost twice as much for trad
ing and filling as private Individuals.
The contractors are forced to raise the
price on city work because they have to
wait anywhere from several months to
two years for their money.
A notable case of this kind is found
In the claim presented by Simons yes
terday. His comDanv finished the flnlri.
smith street fill almost two years ago
and yet hss never received a cent for
the work, which cost $26,000. . The com-
any nas many thousands or dollars

Sec. 14. Every judge of the supreme
court or circuit court, before entering
upon the duties of his Office shall take
and subscrine ana transmit v the sec
retary or state tna ronowinr oath:
"I, '.. do solemnly swear
for affirm! that I will support the con
stitutlon of the United States and the
constitution of the state of Oregon: and
that I. win raunruiiv and imnartiauy
discharge the duties of a judge of the
supreme (or circuit) court or said state,
according to the best of my ability, and
that' I will-not accept any other office
except judicial offices, durlnex the term
ror which I have been elected.
Sec. H All the provisions of article
VII of the constitution as themnnrew
lsted prior to the adoption of this sub
stitute therefor.- and -all laws now in
force In accordance "with eaid article,
shall remain Vn1 force-after -the- adop
tion of this substitute, except ss to the

by the county court and for the transao-
sessment of 148.
The councllmen have felt for a long
time that a change of some kind must
be made Jn the method of paying con
tractors. The Goldsmith street case Is
one that has had more to do with the
change of sentiment than all others
combined. The city bid for contracts
for this work three times. The lowest
bids at each offering were 50 cents, tiO
cents and 7S cents a cubic yard. Realis
ing that the price was too high the Pa
cific Bridge company was induced to
take the work at 40 cents a yard. j
As a return for its accommodation I
the company has been held up for two i
vmfi in reaeivlnir navment for Its work,
Simons' claims for interest in all the
street work he has done for the city and
for which be has not received his pay
amounts to about $2,000.
