District Forecaster B. A. Brals of the weather bureau holds out hope In predicting a S2 degree tem perature for tonight. And he says It was down to the 32 de gree mark early this morning. This morning was the coldest this winter. A dense fog helped to make the cold doubly pene trating and those .not provided with heavy clothing were ac tively engaged in shivering until later In the day the sun enme out and dispelled the chill. Last winter Portland enjoyed little weather below the freezing point and the skating was ac cordingly poor.

He says the novelty of be ing able to purchase everything one de sires soon passes, and that what people most seek Is not buyable. He also (jives a little advice, and among other things says: "Don't begin business with the idea of getting all out of the world by hook or crook tliat vou can. Rather con sider. 'Where can I be most effective in the work of the world?" The only way in which one can secure the real equivalent of money spent Is by culti vating a t.iste for giving where money win produce effect, ana wnere it will tie a lifeloiiK gratification. The oil king says the greatest prob lem of his career has been the organ ization of philanthropic enterprises. New York. Nov. 27. "Beyond a com potency for old age, wealth decreases rather than increases human happiness," savs Andrew Carnegie in an article which will annear in the December num ber of the World's Work. The great steel magnate says that community makes wealth, ajid that wealth should be divided with the community. This statement Is the keynote of his article. Carnegie points out that .none of the proresslons nas money maKmg as its aim. and savs this Is right and proper. He devotes some space to gains made by stock gambling, and says the state should levy a tax on sucn gains at me highest possible rate. POLICY OUGHT TO BE WIDE OPEN (Continued from Pago One.) by the raiyor: they were assured by Dr. Lane th;U he has the power to subpoena Park owners. Landscape Gar dener Oimsteal said that this method appealed to him also as being the wisest course to follow. Judge M. o. M'unly. president of the North Past Side Improvement Associa tion, addressed the board on behalf of the association, by whom he had been sent to express the approval of the people across the river of the general plans which the park board has adopted for the creation of the magnificent park and houlevard system outlined by the Oltnsteads. Submits proposal. D. E. Rice, president of the Mount Tabor Improvement association, pre sented a communication from the Wav-erly-Rlchmond club asking that the park board buy six acres bordering on the Planefield tract. He said this li' ad- miraruy aoapiea ror parK purposes and he thinks the city could procure It for a reasonable figure. The board passed a resolution direct ing that M. D. Uowse be paid for his work In staining the Forestry building. Through a mistake In the contract pay ment was withheld until the board could check over the matter and find whether or not the claim was lawful. 25 per cent off on Jewelry " Mnn.

Rumors that the North Bank road In tended operating gasoline motor cars between Portland and Vancouver by way of the new bridges were denied to day by officials of the road. Although the plan of running a motor car service between Vancouver and Portland has been suggested to the officials, they have not officially considered It and stated that In their opinion the service would not pay, even if they had the cars to operate with. Both passenger and freight service over the new line between Portland and Pasco has been heavier than was ex pected by the officials. There Is com paratively little through freight as yet, but the new line seems to be breaking even with the others in that respect. The maU contracts, excepting for a portion of the Portland-Spokane mail and that for way stations along the line, have not yet been signed. A por tion of the through mall for the east Is carried by the North Bank, but the gov ernment is prohibited under present con ditions from paying more for a carload of mail than for a box full and the bulk of the through service will continue to go to the O. R. & N for the present. TRAIN BY LED HORSES An O. R. 4 N. train killed two horses and was derailed by them on a high trestle a mile ' west of Bonneville yes terady afternoon. J. H.

Even the guards wept as the pitiful message was read aloud as follows: "Dear Son Hermann: Why don't you write to me in so long a time? I am half dead.
