B. - Zeigler,- Who Sayst City's Rights Are Unprotected. Portland, Or., Oct 7. To. the Editor - tf Xha-Jotrrnal Itr "pxirFPBwca T)f tlio ubject taken up a month ago, I .wish today to mak a statement of the rela tion of the Harriman and the Hill Irani chises to the publlo interest. ; ';' To explain to your readers the break . In the continuity of my story, I would ilfe.to. state . that-I-have been out-of town, hut " Intended , to complete my i . work by sending in the few letters re ' quired, and did send In one , on this subject, which as far as I can discover did not appear, although edited and sent In for publication as I have been v Informed. 1 ' My last letter ends with the passage '4 ef.-4ha- amendments -named by,Jthe press the Zlegler amendment, so that tho se ries, ending there would, ajqpear to be - merely anadvertisement of that act, but I wish, to recall your reajders attention to the common terminal act I besought -w-the .council! . to plaoe on'thg-imltorTit' - the special election, and which by one , majority they refused to do, but which I yet hope to put upon Its passage. JEvery separate unit of the terminal business of Portland is bow -engaged In making most important reconstruc tion work. The Terminal System. l?1y preliminary plans and actual work . r tr torrtn b t VI I ft nr That- I, n.li , should be done on an economic and scientific plani so as to unite it all into a system best adapted to the public needs, none can deny. Yet no effort has' been made in that direction. The Hill lines locked horns in East Port land -with the Harriman lines and an adjustment was made without regard to any Other unit outside these two lines. The Harriman lines are quietly recon tructing their tracks out of the new teel bridge without any thought of the .possible line of the common user prlvl " lege retained on that bridge and ao proachos by tlio federal government, or s the possible need of a right of way through that territory for a belt line The pinna of the dock roinmlsalon havo been forestalled by a seizure of a por tion of North Front street by the The port commission claims to" be vested with the administration .of the state's rights therein, while a member of that board is seizing the opportunity as an abutting owner to fill in front of his property out to pierhead lino, thus altering the natural water linos which are the legal boundary lines be tween the public property and riparian owners, and seizing a part of the pub lic property..:;''?: !; :.V?", & The dock commission is seeking to Improve the shores of which the publlo would be thus dispossessed with pub llo funds provided for the purpose.

ESTATE OF ARBUCKLE NEARLY 30 MILLIONS New York, ' Oct. 8, John Arbuckle. who died last March, left an estate of $211,613,344, according to the report made public by Transfer Tax Appraiser Mon- ahan of Kings county. The great concern of Arbuckle Bros was merely a co-partnership. As his share represented only one third of the firm's assets it Is shown that the com pany today holds nearly $100,000,000 of property, His two sisters, Christina Arbuckle of Brooklyn and Mrs. Catherine A.

Forepart of Oscar Wilde's monument and Its sculptor, Epstein. (By tbe International News Bcrrlce.) Paris, Oct. 8. Jacob Epstein, the New York sculptor,, made a midnight race from London to vindicate his profes sional honor and the memory of Oscar Wilde by tearing from the latter's monument in the Pere Lachaise ceme tery in Paris a plaster-daiiBed" tarpau lin placed there last Friday by Direc tor Hedequer of the cemetery, who claimed that the work was indeoent and unfit for the sanotlty of the city of the dead. . . . After traveling all night, at an .early Oklahoma City, Oct. 8. Railroad con tractors are lamenting the exodus of the hobo. It is admitted on all sides that there are fewer of these intercep tors of cold victuals between the plate and the waste can In Oklahoma this face a monument to the memory of a I summer than ever before. Time was freariKe-t-ha3remaIn ere till I When every Incoming freight had Its Quota of these good-natured nomads. Sometimes they would be perched over the water" tank, then in an empty Ice box or reposing in an empty box car; again they could be found hanging pre cariously across the rods at the bot tom of a car, their coat tails swinging to and fro In the breezes. From the Kansas line to Red river they have left marks of their visitations on water tanks, trees and concrete via ducts. From these historical records it can be seen that within the past five years Oklahoma has had the honor of entertaining Diamond Jack, Jesse James, John D. Kockefellow, Bon yoy age, Boston Baked Beans, Frisco Mike, Agememnon Pete, Hercules . 8am, Gen eral Wheeler, George Washington, Cap tain Kldd and A No. 1. Exoelled Only by Bosses. All these are hoboes of very high professional rating. In the art of ex tracting their share of the unearned in crement they are at once the envy and despair of all competition. When It comes to getting something for nothing they are only excelled by the political boss or the Wall street stock manipu lators : : However, It Is stated on authority that not one of these crafty generals has appeared In Oklahoma this summer and hundreds of the lay members of the profession who make a habit of following in their tracks are also ab sent The same is true of Kansas, Mis souri and all the central western states. The reason Is that Canada seems to be the grazing paradise of the nomads Just now. It being estimated that 100,000 have gone across the dominion line since June. It is also stated on authority that the craft Is getting a little difficult and dangerous In the United States. The railroads are trying to eliminate trespassing on tracks and trains and It Is getting very difficult now to find a "brakey" that will take one a division for a quarter or a pocket knife. Then, state laws are Interposing and ridding the country of the floating population. Oe te Canada. - As a result of this "repressive legls latlon," the hobo generals are leaving the injunction on every watertank for all loyal craftsmen to go to Canada, The highest farm , value In Oregon, Hood River county, averaged $340 per acre; The next highest, Multnomah, av eraged $230 an acre. The lowest, Wheel er, averaged 19.12 per acre.

The advanced type of art shown opeas it to the criticism of those who favor the stereotyped school of monumental art Jacob Epstein's ' monument to Oscar Wilde, when exhibited in London last year, provoked a whirl of criticism. One London paper remarked that no such monument could be orected in any Eng lish graveyard, while another paper de clared, with cynical superiority, that Paris might not be shocked by It Monument Hot Shocking. As a matter of fact there is nothing very shocking about it. It Is made of two huge blocks of Derbyshire lime stone, together weighing more than 20 toiuL.. .ThaJower block, or. base Is quite plain, except for the epltaphrthe upper block carries the memorial design. The conception embodied in this great block of stone la that of a winged Assyrian f'gure driven through space by an Irresistible fata The colossal figure drivus forward by sheer voli tion, without aid from the 'limbs or tremor of the wings. The arms are extended backward along the sides, the knees slightly bent and the plumes of the wings are horlsontal In strictly par allel lines. The face remotely suggesting that of the dead writer, is a little upturned and blind to external light the inner driving power being symbolised by little figures of Intellectual pride and luxury above the head Fame, with her trumpet, is carved upon the forehead. Epstein is the son of a New York east side baker. He has had no art school ing, but going to Paris, became a pupil of Rodin. His sculptures are marked by a revolt from Greek prettiness and a leaning to unblushing realism. Journal Want Ads bring results. WOMAN'S HAIR REACHES TO KNEES A Tear ;o Was Threatened With Bald ness, it us how bas Kaae sex Hair Grow. r Mrs. Esther Emrv nnw vUIHn friends in the city, is the fortunate pfl' sessor of marvelously beautiful hair, -, which; when loose from Its colls, " falls to her knees. Moreover It Is of soft, silky and fluffy texture and in color a glorious glossy gold. Yet , Just ; one year ago she was threatened with baldness. I'rge to tell how she" had- obtained this wonderful growth In so short a time she said: "Had anyone told me such marvelous results could be " accomplished so quickly, I positively v would not have believed it. Twelve months ago my hair, which then reach ed barely to my shoulders, was falling out at an alarming rate and growing Very thin, aotually exposing the bald . scalo in several spots. It was dull and lifeless in color, turning grey in patches, and very dry and brittle. My head was covered with dandruff and Itched like mad all the time. I tried fully a dozen different hair tonics but they were all ' the same and never did me a bit of good, "r One day I chanced to read in my home ' parff-ot-grilwiRle'-jronie prescription to make the hair grow that was recom mended by a well known physician. It sa.id that dv takine ordinary Lavona de Compose and mixing with Bay Rum and ' Menthol crystals ana applying to tne scalp each night with the finger tips that new hair would grow very raoldly, ? I decided to try it and I had .my drug, gist mix 2 ox. of the Lavona de Com posee with 6 oz. of Bay Rum and V dr. . of Menthol Crystals, and started to use It. My, bow quickly my hair did grow. Klrt the hair stopped falling, then itch ing ceased and the dandruff disappeared.. Then tiny little hairs appeared all over my scalp. These grew and grew as though nothing would ever stop them, They are growing . yet and while, of oourse, I have used the treatment stead ily and expect to continue It, at least until my hair reaches the floor. I might have stopped and been perfectly satis fied at the end of three months. . I think that any woman can get Ion g, thlck, beautiful hair by using this pre scription as I have recommended it to several friends and all are delightful with the result. The prescription 1s very Inexpensive and any druggist can Those who use it should be careful not to get It on the face or where hair is not desired. - ju Imil Premium Parlors Fourth Floor lpl t It f" Tlie Celebrated M Green Trading Stamps Will Be Given on Charge Accounts It Paid In Full Before tlte Tenth of the Month Thousands of Beautiful and.
