Tha city charter and the state constitution, the referee duiu and the emergency clause act have involved the city in sucn a maze or am biguity and conflicting Interpretation! of the law that no one.' not even a lawver ran tell lust what Is the law. The council this morning stumbled up against the connicting rulings or me charter with those of tne state when an ordinance to Improve Wilson street waa Introduced. An emergency clause was attached, but under the strict definition of an emereencv none really existed. City Attorney Kavanaugh advised, how ever, that tne minings or tne council on this question would not he considered by the courts, and that It was proper for it to declare an emergency without stating what the emergency might be. "Oo Ahead, Anyhow." Councilman Kellaher wanted the coun cil to disregard the emergency clause and go ahead with the passage of the ordinance. He accused the city attor ney of trying to block proceedings. "Mr. Kenaner aoesn t Know wnat ne s talking about, hotly Interrupted Mr. Kavanaugh. "I don't want to retard legislation, but the facts are these: the charter provides that all improvement ordinances must De approved oy tne mayor within 10 days after passage and be forwarded immediately to the executive board,, which must than ad vertise for bids. Now, unless an envr- srency clause Is attached to such ordi nances they do not become effective un til 30 ditvs after passage and the ex- ecutlv board would therefore have no right to advertise for bias until met ex piration of that time. On tha other hand, the charter says the executive board must advertise for bid immedi ately on receipt of an ordinance of this kind from the mayor. Has Bamedy Beady.

They don't reach the spot Sprays and douches and the like may give tem porary relief, but they never cure. They don't reach the spot.

You can't one' catarrh without killing the ca tarrh germs, and you can't kill the germs unless you can get the kiDer where the germs are. , Hyomei is a killer of catarrh germs because when you breathe it in, its antiseptic and germicide properties leach every nook and crevice- of the mucous membrane, from the mouth and nose deep into the cells of the lungs. ' .. Hyomei brings the Australian forests of pine and eucalyptus to your home.' It is made of the active principles extracted from these trees. ; No one who lives in or near these forests suffer f roqj catarrh. - No one who breathes in Hyomei, the real forest air of Australia, will have catarrh tor long alter the treatment starts.

Although tha Oreeon commission has no immediate intention of asking the Interstate commerce commission to begin such proceedings It is possible that either the commission ,or Portland shippers, under the'transportatlon' com mittee of the chamber of commerce, may take the initiative In the matter and ask the interstate commission . to ant.

The question of commencing legal ac tion to-prevent the changes going Into effect was gone into -at that time, but no definite? action waa taken- by the committee.
