Jack La Ross will be able to appeal to the su- 4 4 preme court from the verdict of the jury that found htm guilty e of the murder of Hyman Nou-' -e w man, and under which he .was sentenced by Judge Morrow to serve the remainder of his 'life in the state penitentiary, w Jay II. Upton, one of La Rose's e attorneys, this morning msd4 the announcement that the funds w for an appeal will be forthcom- lag from the sources named. About $100 will be required. He 4 " explained ' that certain Daugh- - ters of the Confederacy have be- come Interested in the con- ' demned man because, according . to his. story, he is from Georgia. As for the Baptist women, they e are not active in his behalf be- , cause of religious motives, ex- cept they hope that La- Rose e may come out of his difficulties a changed man if he la not sent to the penitentiary for life. , They ' argue that if he gets several 4 . years .in prison for the assault on - John Chong he would take 4 the lesson , to heart, and they , therefore, want the sentenoe for the murder of Neuman reversed, 4 During his trial La Rose each e day wore a bright red rose of the kind that mode Portland fa- 4 mous.

Portland has Jumped in the past year to where she enjoys from 25 to SO per cent, according to a letter that Frank Ira White has written Tom Richardson of the Port land commercial club. Mr. White states that the people of Klamath county are Dsclallv anxious to rive Portland the big end of their trade over San Fran cisco, and believes if Portland whole-' salers would onl- send their representa tives and make a strong fight for the territory this year that Ban Francisco will be unable to compete with her. The construction of the new wagon road which the - people of southern Oregon want built through Klamath county to the California line and east through Lake county to the Idaho line, will, it is believed, not only greatly develop the southern part of the state, but asjtnt In capturing that territory for Portland business firms. , " P0LYGAMIST IS . OUT ON PAROLE SUES TO CLEAR TITLE TO LAUD Alleging that Frederick . Proebstel Is seeking to ; defraud , the estate - of the late Miles Standlsh Qrls'wold and to eloud the title to property that must be sold to aettle up-the estate,' David Goodsell, the' administrator,, has begun suit in the circuit court to set aside a grass on October 8, which was 'recorded tna roiiowing aay. The history of the affair goes back 60 years, the land in question being a part of the Frederick Proebstel dona tion land claim, over wnicti another suit in the circuit court recently caused con sitleiable stir, threatening ss It did the title to several acres of land in the cltv limits on the east side. Goodsell alleges that Proebstel deeded the lot in question to Wendel Proebstel 60 years ago, but that a mutual mistake was made in the description. For this rea son trie records in tne county cieras office do not show a conveyance of thii lot to Wendel Proebstel, although an evident attempt to describe it was made. The administrator of Grlswold s es tate, suing for the heirs, says he has secured authority from the county court to sell the lot. but cannot do so be cause of the cloud on tne title. The con veyance from Frederick Proebstel to Snort grass, he alleges, was without con sideration, although $1,000 Is named as the price in tne deed. He asserts that the transaction with Snodgrasa is sole ly for the purpose of compelling the Grlswold heirs to pay Proebstel and his wife for a quit claim deed to re move the cloud. Goodsell asks that the deed to Snod grasa he cancelled, that Proebstel be reoulred to srlve a confirmatory deed. and that Snodgrasa be restrained from making, a further conveyance of the property to the hands of innocent purchasers.

Extension of six month's time was granted to the Barber Asphalt company to lay a pavement on Knott atrMft "iidid uio lAiiBiruuLiuil wit a cnecKCQ because of the fact that the trt car company is asking for a franchise on the thoroughfare, and it was thought suvihuio w Ytmi, bq inas in me event of a car line being built the pavement would not have to be torn up and re laid. , Several other extensions of time were granted, among these one of 25 days to The "Insides" of a Selz Royal Blue Shoe "I believe you are more of a fool than anything else, and I also believe that the woman was as much to blame as you are," said Judge Oantenbeln yes terday in pronouncing sentence on Ward Robertson, charged with polyg amy. Robertson, who lived near Bea verton, pleaded guilty yesterday. Robertson was sentenced to the penitentiary, but was paroled on condition of good behavior. With one wife at Beaverton, Robertson met Julia Gundlach at Seaside and she soon after ward became his wlfa Besides the wife at Beaverton, he had been mar ried to three other women. Miss Gund lach declared Robertson hypnotised her, while she made tha same statement re gaining nis manner or wooing. The parts you can't see in a shoe are just as important as any parts of it the inner soles, the counters, the parts that help or lessen the wear. It's an easy way for makers to cheat in shoes, and even experts can't see the fraud after the shoe is made. You NEVEfc have any DOUBT about a SELZ ROYAL BLUE Shoe; they're not cheapened by poor materials in any way. 1 Selz Royal Blue $3.50, $4 and $5 I C JS.

A contract was let for a bltulithle pavement -on , Belmont street between Bast Fortieth and East Sixty-seoond streets. The cost will be 180,000..
