Mr. Russell makes his headquarters . In Mobile, Ala. "You folks out here evidently didn't J feel the currency famine last fall." Mr. Russell said this morning. "But down nour way we felt It. and it Is still on. rlt came on us in one day. We felt it 'almost before the news of a panic haJ ireached the other parts of the world. ! "Our railroad runs through great tim : iber lands from Mobile to St. I,ouls. The 'lumber business always feels anything fof this kind first. Twenty-five prr rent por our business, we figure, comes from lithe lumber industry.

But in the lumber business there was a falling off of trade of every ")tlnd almost at one Jump, you might jay. , Conditions are Improving, however, and I believe that within a year aft.-r the famine cams upon us the rallroni "business and every other business will Jbe running again along normal lines." . The Mobile A Ohio is owned by the Southern Railway company. From Port land Mr. Russell goes to San Francisco tand then to Southern California. whrs tlie will spend some time. Later he rwill return to Portland, go north to -Vancouver, B. C and then east over - the Canadian Pacific, stopping off at Hanrf, Winnipeg and other rFsmjg along in jine. v Mr. Russell's hobby Is hunting prairie chickens.

And that is Just exactly what I am doing now and I find that there Is nothing else Just like it in tho word." Just as Mr. Russell said this he was handed a telegram by his secretary. ,The messag was something about an Increased showing in business. Then Mr. Russell went back to talking rail roads again. Mr. Russell and party leave tonight for Srtn Francisco. I'pon his return to Portland he will make a longer visit. .Mr. Taffs ReliRiouR Belief. From the Evening Post. A point upon which Mr. Taft's back ers apparently fear an attack will be made, either openly or covertly, before the campaign is very old. concerns the religious belief of the Republican can didate There is already considerable discussion of this matter in some ijuar trs, gn'i a tendency is revealed to ac cept the conclusion that Mr. Taft is an atheist. The statement Issued from the White House on the day that he was nominated, in whjch it was de clared that the candidate had alw ivs bten a Unitarian, appears to be unsat isfactory to many persons, and they are anxious for an elaboration of his re llrlous convictions from his own mouth Despite the fact that Seneca Smith has filed an application for a rehearing with the supreme court. City Attorney Kavanaugh la so confident that the court will not reverse its decision in the matter of the bond issue that he ha notified the water board to proceed with the preliminary work of prepar ing estimates for the cost of construc tion for the pipeline for which the peo ple voted $3,000. 000 and which was tied up with the rest of the bond Issue re cently declared valid by the court. To this effect. City Attorney Kava naugh has sent the following communi cation to the water board: Beadvertise Bond Sale. "By the terms of this amendment the council Is authorized In the name of the city to issue and dispose of bonds of. the city of Portland to the run amount of $3,000,000. An ordinance has been passed by the council authorizing tne issuance and disposal of these bonds and fcy this ordinance a committee of the council was directed to advertise for proposals for the purchase of such bonds. When the city had proceeded to this point the suit of McKenna vs. Portland was Instituted and an Injunc tion was Issued restraining the city from proceeding further in the prem ises. The recent decision of the su preme court, when it becomes effective, will dissolve this Injunction and th council committee will rendvertiso for the sale of these bonds. When the bids are accepted the bonds will be Isftied and the proceeds thereof credited to the water fund. An estimate should be made by the water board to the coun cil of the probaole cost of the several public utilities to be constructed. 'lth a request to the council for authority to proceed therewith, and for appropri ations to cover the cost of the same. Thereafter tlie work of construction will be carried on by the water board. "The council has authority to make a specific appropriation for the construc tion of a pipeline without making ap propriations at the same time for other purposes. In the orderly process of the construction of the pipeline, it would appear that a suitable appropriation should be then made for the purchase disease of against it hi taalnsr Warners Bafe Cure wnloa positively ores Kidney, Lint, Bladder and Blood Diseases.

Bhu was treated by several physicians, but found no relief until she took Warner's Hnfe Cure, which in a short time made hr a well and happy woman.

No Change In Decision. "But I am of the opinion that under the language of this section the appro priation for water meters or for the In stallation of a meter system mav be deferred until the other utilities are con- strueteil and paid for. and that the council would have the discretion to ap propriate all of this fund In rood faith for the construction of the pipeline and reservoirs.
