Says Voters Misunderstood -the Idea Last November. WOUNDED LAY IN OMAHA AUDITORIUM SUCCESSFUL CONCERT Unanimously indorsing Mayor Rush-. UghCa Robs island project, the commis sion appointed by the mayor several months ago to Investigate and report on local sanitation and the need for ad ditional , lnplneratlon plants, adopted a; resolution urging the city council to order tpe question' of the. acquisition of the island system again placed on the' ballot at the June election. "It was the opinion expressed: by each and every member of the commission present at the meeting that Ross island is the ideal site for not only a new refuse incinerator, but for many other municipal uses outlined in a graphic map by Mayor Rushlight "There is no question," said j N. Teal, "that the voters c the city misunder stood the charter amendment' put up to Ihem" last November for the purchase of Ross Island. The vote against the project was therefore a mistaken ones 1 believe it is the duty of this commit sloa- to see that' the mutter Is agaiu placed on the ballot, the price 'of the isluudto bo determined by condemna tion proceedings. . ":..', i:;: :;'.i.,'Cotal B ruled In. . ; v "When the question was last submit ted, tho amendment called for a bond issue of 1300,000. Mayor Rushlight bad secured an option on the island for this urn. But the amendment provided that the island property should be purchased by condemnation. If the people, had voted In favor of the mayor's project, they were assured that it would cost no more than $300,000 in any event. If a Jury in condemnation proceedings should fix a lower' price than that, -the city would have, the benefit. If . the Jury should 'tlx- a higher price, the mayor's option protected the taxpayers ; "Rosa island, with the two small Islands adjoining it, form group that comprise about 407 acres. At extreme high j water, nearly 'all of the Islands would be submerged, but, it must be re membered that under these conditions Front and First streets,, in the business districts, would be covered by water also, This Is not such a serious thing as might be supposed. The low places in the Islands could be gradually filled by depositing of street cleanings, which now have, to bo hauled long distances. The ehort haul, to the islands would mean a great saving to the street clean ing department.' - Coatatoa rise Wash Gravel. . "Great quantities. of the finest wash gravely are: contained, in the- island group.- This material could be uUllsed in the repair of streets. The mayor contemplates the ; establishment of a municipal workshop, a blacksmith shop, municipal docks and storage warehouses- for various municipal depart ments at convenient points ' on tho "The small island lying near the east shore of the river can be reached by a cheaply constructed bridge from the mainland and a spur track can be ex tended from the Oaks line. Another bridge would give access to the main island. Of course, to utilise the island system to the best possible advantage, a-high bridge across the river will , eventually have to be constructed. Thl bridge i a necessity now, Tinyway, for the serving qf a large territory lu South Portland on both sides of the river. "It Is proposed to establish on the main Island a great mid-river park and ' playground, v "The greatest. argument for the acqui sition of the islands, however, is that their purchase will solve the difficult problem of a site for another reruso In- , clnerator. - The commission has found, from Us Investigations, that another in cinerator is a crying need. The pres ent plaat at Guild's lake is being over taxed. It has been the experience of past administrations that ho site for on Incinerator could be selected in any part , cf the city owing to the. protest' that arose from the people of every neigh- uornooa wnerem sucn a site was pro posed to be acquired. ' . . -': Xa.nl Would Si Rhnrt.. "There will be no objection to a burn ing plant on the Island, which Is suffi- ' clently isolated to prevent a nuisance being created by the installation of a garbage burner there. "On. account of the long haul to the present, incinerator it costs $4. CO a ton to transport garbage., there. The haul to the island could be made for , $2.6u, . a ton, thug effecting a saving of thous ands of dollars annually. The island rroun Is but a mile and a half from the city hall. ' ' "' , ' "Twenty acres of additional dumping ; ground will be required at the Guild's lake plant in the next 20 years. If thin 7 land were purchased now at prices asked for land: contiguous to the burner it would cost , in the neighborhood of . 1180,000. ' "It Is absolutely essential that more dumping grounds be provided and the low lying parts of the island group of rfer an Ideal tolutlon of the locution of Cnirh fffnunl a 19 a that a un. 4k parts of the Islands submerged in high water can, bit by bit, be filled from . the deposits of street cleanings and other non-combustible matter gathered in the city." Commissioners TaTor Plan. - Mr. Teal asked each of t lie members of the commission for an expression of opinion as 'to the, advisability of pur chasing the islands. Kadi and every one of them deelared in favor of the project.; ''I favor the whole proposition," de clared Mrs. Solomon Hirsch. - "It Bjeema to me," said Mrs. Frederick Eggert, "that the purchase of tlio Island la "desirable, for all purposes, but especially for the -HOlutlon of the , problem of an incfnewiior site, this be ing a Vitally Important question at this :'4ime.,.;-4v "l have long wanted the city to own 'Rosa Island,"' said Mrs. M.

Best Bite for Incinerator, '':! hav.e been In favor of , Mayor' Rushlight's plan for many months ; ever since I Investigated It last fall," said George If. Trowbridge, a member of the commission. "I can see no seri ous objection to the purchase of the Islands if these are acquired 'by con demnation," "Ross; island Is the best location in the city of Portland for an Incinerator and municipal utility site." said VV. 8. Kmallwood. 'The Island system 'Is easily accessible both by rail and water." Dr. George B. Story of the city health board, David E. Otis, euperlntendent of the Guild's Lake burner, and City Health Officer C. H. Wheeler all spoke enthusiastically in favor of the project, which will be made a special issue in the coming June election. The members of the commission agreed to sign their names to an argument in its favor and to put this 'on the ballot with the pro posed bond Issue, The city council will be urged at Its meeting a week from to morrow to put the question of the pur chase, of the Islands up to the electorate In June. Before adjourning yesterday the com mission adopted reports of various of Its subcommittees, recompiendlng sani tary improvements. One of these Is a report drafted by City Plumbing In spector Hey.

A conference called by the Immigra lion commission with the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce and the gov crnors of the Commercial club for 3 o'clock this afternoon may decide the fate of the Oregon exhibit accumulated oy -tne ensmner. The commission, at a meeting yester day afternoon, decided that the proper thing for tiie commercial and railroad interests to do is to Join In establishing a Homeseekers' Headquarters, prefor ably in the corner rooms of the Commer clal club building at Fifth and Oak streets. The' exhibit would then be moved out of the obsrurjtr hi which it is now placed and arranged in display windows to attract the attention of all whs pass by.

Journal, firm STREET'S"! RECORD IS AN ENVIABLE ONE I'iith street (paved with Bitulithic) is an example of efficient, economical paving. For ten years it Hias stood up under severe traffic conditions, with no repairs needed. ' BITUUTHIC-tASTr J The First Necessity Is to Keep the Bowels Gently Open - With a Mild Laxa tive Tonic. ' Healthy old age is so absolutely de pendent upon the condition of the bow els that great care should be taken to see that they act regularly. The fact is that as age advances the stomach muscles become weak and inactive and the liver does not store up the Juices that are necessary to prompt digestion. Some help can be obtained by eating easily digested fooda and by plenty of exercise, but this latter Is Irksome to most elderly people. One thing Is cer tain, that a state of constipation should always be avoided as It is dangerous to life and health. The best plan la .to take a mild laxative as often as is deemed necessary. But with equal cer tainty it is suggestej that cathartics, purgatives, physics, salts and plUs be avoided, as they do but temporary good and are so harsh as to be a shook- to a delicate system. A much better plan, and one that thousands of elderly people are follow ing, is to take a gentle laxattve-fonlc like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, wjiieh acts as nearly like nature as Is possible. In fact, the tendency of this remedy Is to strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles and so train them to art nat urally again, when medicines of all kinds can usually be dispensed with. This is the opinion of many people of different ages, among them Mr, O. 1". Miller, Baroda, Mich., who writes: "I am 80 years old and have been constipated for many years. Sinee receiving your sample bottle 1 have procured two 60e bottles and find that it Is the best rem edy I ever used and dors Just what you Jr. ? ? ' f yf ilpili MX. O. F. mils. clalti for It to the very letter. I can not recommend it too highly." A bottle can bo bought of .any drug gist at fifty cents or one dollar. People usually buy the fifty cent sine first, and then, having convinced themselves of Its merits they buy' tbe dollar size, which Is more economical. Results are always guaranteed or'money will be re funded. Any elderly person can fdllow thexe suggestions with safety and the assurance of good results. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin-and you would like to make a personal trial of It before buy ing it In the regular way of a druggist, send j oujf address a postal will do to Dr. W. H. Caldwell. 41.7 Washington St., Montlcello, 111., and a free sample bottle will he mslled you.
