Yes terday the brief opposing- that conten-i tion of the attorney general wi sent to the supremo court signed by 47 of the lead In, lawyers and legal firms of the city aa Amlcl Curiae, or friends of the court. The brief was wrmen, largely, by A. K Clark, and Is sent to the oourt- as an aooompanylng - brief to that filed by Judge Thomas O'Day and Martin I Pipes. In the former brief the argument that the oourt Is regularly formed and that the ' legislature has the ; power ' under the constitution to Increase the num ber of Justices is set out clearly and forcefully. ' ... ''''). Of Gravest Concern. ' ' 1 It Is pointed out la the brief that dur lng the Incumbency of Justices King and Slater, whose right to participate in the rulings of the court la questioned. causes of the gravest concern. Involv ing human life and vast property rights havs been . finally determined by- the court If It should now be found that the decisions given In -these cases by the five Judges are vitiated by reason of the two members being not, legally Justices of the court, great trouble would result The fact that the oourt is over run with work Is also pointed to as an added reason why .the legislature shouWl have added two sew members to the tribunal. '. " - . . ", It Is argued that the framers of the ' constitution clearly intended that- three justices would be necessary to handle the appellate work of the Oregon courts In the beginning. No prohibition was put upon the legislature, the brief con tends, It being left to the Wisdom of that ' body to Increase, the number of Justices as the demands of the state made the Increase necessary, it is ar gued that If it is necessary to have three Justices for 200,000 people, It is clearly necessary to add to that nun ber as the total population Increases. Contend View inconsistent. ,' - The brief oontends that the attorney general and District Attorney "Cameron, : hv . their line -of argument, are' sarin that the people ef tbe .state," when, they adopted, the constitution, Intended1 that three justices should listen to the ap pellate arguments of 7,000,000 people as well as they could consider the appeals of 200,000, '' ' ' ' " ' A long list of authorities and cita tions Is given, all showing the argument that while .. the federal - constitution grants to congress certain definite and certain powers of legislation, the state constitutions, on the other hand, are not grants of power, but limitations.

CO., DENTISTS The Partial Plate When a man loses most of his teeth be begins to cast about for a substi tute, and his dentist will be most apt to suggest either a "bridge" i. or a par tlal plate. in some pf our previous "Talks on Teeth" we have considered the "bridge' and siiown.wny it is at neei a makeshift. Now let us consider that other makeshlft-"the "partial plate."

If ; you have ever worn one you will agree that these statements are true. The nartiai plate is a delusion and snare. and no man or woman would wear one for a moment if he or sne knew of a better way of supplying the vacancy in the mouth caused by the missing teeth. . . - ; t Jhe Alveolar Method Teeth WITHOUT PLATES ' OR BRIDGE) is the better way. , If you have two or more teeth left in either jaw, tight or loose ones, we wui supply WITHOUT USING A PUH OR BRIDGEWURK the missing teeth and tighten the loose ones..

Mayor Nathan, Of this city, wjho is English by birth and a naturalised Italian, recently wrote a letter to the director of a British arch aeological school, protesting vigorously against foreign criticism of his mod ernizing policy. He declared that for eigners pretend that Rome la a baiaar of antiquity, b6t. Instead of conserving) 1C, . ne In uciciuiiticm v , ancient remains to the exigencies of modern life. The mayor added that it was his! own city and that- be would go vera, It independently'of the aesthetic feellns'Of foreigners who were not in vited vo come to It, and were free to remaih away. This letter was pubiisned in th.'e official organ of, the clty but was yeproduced In only one of the Eng lish 'papers, wnicn cnaranensea n as inopportune, as ancient Rome Is inter national. The mayor's letter has pro vofted oppos'tion of tradesmen, many of wriom depend wholly on foreign lour isls for support . LUMBER 3IEX FOR. I MAYORS OF CITIES . Discarded light posts, formerly In service on Washington street and la other parts of the downtown district and later appropriated to the east side to be used In the business section mere. have caused the merchants In taat Port land all sorts of worry In the laat few da vs. For a long time the east side hss been clamoring for street lights on their principal streets, and as a result an ordinance was passed by. the city council appropriating the old wsstiSlde light posts to them, when the new style were installed in tne downtown ais trict. . Soon after the ordinance was passed somebody conceived, the Idea that as the posts were fitted up for 'electric lights only, the electrlu company would have the "drop" on the cast aiders and might, if they saw fit charge an exorbitant rate for thetr service. Conseauently a petition was hurrledlyo!rculted and signed by nractloally all of the Dual ncss men in that section asking . the mayor to veto the ordinance, 1 - ; l". Change of Attitnds, ,t ' No sooner was the petition handed In than somebody else found out that the Portland Railway, Lignt A Power com pany.' bad agreed, to furnish electric lights throughout the section for a very reasonable rate. If was then rumored that If the mayor vetoed the ordinance, perhaps- the east side, would get no lights at all, and immediately the sama forces who had circulated the first peti tion nrot together and circulated another among the same business men for the purpose of asking the mayor to disre gard the first petition. Everyone who could be found who signed the first petition, ' also - signed the second one, when they were shown what an error had been committed. ' ; - Yesterday afternoon .Councilman Rushlight visited, the city hs.ll with peti tion No.- J. and explained the situation to the .city's chief executive. ,. . Ordinanoe Sets Veto, In the meantime the ordinance had been-vetoed on the strength of the first petition and the east siders are worse off than ever. The petition , on which the ordinance was vetoed stated that the east side wanted combination light poles which would burn eitner gas or elec tricity. It was stated that competition would keep the rates crown. Practically the only business man. who was asked and refused to sign the orlalnal netltion. was Dan Kellaher. He thinks that the people should not be forced to pay the eiectrlo company for their street lights as long as the electrlo company does not pay for an of Its streetcar franchises. Kellaher also refused to sign the sec ond petition, which asxed the mayor to disregard 'the first In view of the fact that the electric company had of fered to sign a contract to furnish the light at a reasonable rate. It was rumored yesterday arternoon that the ordinance would have been vetoed In any case because the .mayor was not irt favor of granting the electric company a monopoly on the sevlce. He Is auoted as saying tnat'the gas com pany should be. given a chance, or inai if the people wanted gas at some ruiure date they should have it Object to Old Posts. , Another feature of the case which, it Is said, caused a number of east aid ers to place their names to the first petition, which resembled a remon strance to a certain extent was the fact that the posts had ' been discarded by the west siders. The east side was entitled to the sotne class of posts as were being' furnished to any other por tion of -the city, they sajd.- . " The two lighting corporations are said to have figured in the controversy. They squabbled, it la understood, over securing the contracts, and finally drew up some sort of an agreement between themselves. Under thia agreement Washington street will be lighted by gas, Seventh street by electricity and 11 ECI 4IMsbW HUE 10 SCENIC MIIDER BsnjsSSBBSaSBSJBBBSBBBBSaSBB Stool and Foo Arranging for Boat and Auto Route r to Crator Lake.
