One of the .intercttnpt features of

fication of n man who was entirely shy

The rrKisf ration Herk was puzzled
for a moment as to hew the man would

In he could bent solve the problerh
With a hook attached to the stump of
his partial arm he pulled the card Into
position. Then he hooked a pen toward
him, leaned forward, grasped the pen
In liia teeth and signed the farcin.
The clerk watched In astonishment
.and when he laughed at her bewilder
ment she told him that he seemed to
get along better and be happier than
many who had two good arms.
Among those registering yesterday
wa a widow 67 years old who had
' lost one limb and was paralyzed In the
other. She was brought In an automo
bile and the clerk took the cards and
books to the automobile for her to sign.
"What politics?" she was asked.
"I don't care," she answered.

with a long section of the water Pipe
and some electric light conduits.
At the east end of the slide the wa
ter main broke square off and the
heavy stream of water began pouring
into the big excavation. For over 60
minutes the flood kept pouring out.
while city water employes all over the
business district worked to divert the
stream. It was finally shut off.
Traffic Xs Stopped,
A fire alarm box poat was under
mined and partially fell into the hole
and conduits were damaged. City wa
ter and sewers are shut off on Morri
son street as far west at tourieentn.
but both services had been restored
early this -afternoon.
Pending the clearing away of the
debris, and the emergency work on
the part of water and sewer depart
ments, Morrison street at Fifth was
closed to all vehicle traffic. When
streetcar service is resumed, however.
it will be with practically the same
schedule, all cars using the east
bound track around the break, with
temporary crossovers above and be
low. Depot and Morrison cars west
bound will be routed around Washing

Work in the Meier & Frank excava
tion had to be temporarily abandoned
while the water was pumped out, but
it was resumed again this afternoon.
The city commissioners were at the
scene of the accident, and disclaimed
any responsibility on the part of the
city for the accident.
DR. SMITH RENEWS

"As I understand your letter you
are willing for Dr. Withycombe to en
gage with me in such a discussion, pro
vided the addresses be confined to the
tariff and my legislative record.
"Why so limit the discussion? You
hold thes to be the issues and I as
sume that you speak also for Dr.
Withycombe, and that your views are
his views. But I may differ from you
as to the Issues and many thousands
of people who are vitally concerned in
the publio business may differ from

"However, I agree to your plan of

Every business man in Portland will

chase and display in his store at least
one box of apples on the national day,
and every member of the Commercial
club, Rotary club and other organiza
tions will be canvassed to secure the
same re'auft.
Every hotel man rn the northwest
will be asked to prepare a special
Apple day menu and reduce the price
of serving on that day. Every rail
road is expected to serve apples Octo
ber 20, and sell them cheaper than on
any other uay. '
The movement will not be confined
to the Pacific northwest, but will be
carried on throughout the United

be given an apple October 20, and
little talks will be given to the pupils,
to enable them to understand the

the idea that the eating of apples- is
gooi for their health's sake.
Engineer's Fees Gain.
Salem, Or, Oct 7. State Engineer
Lewis today deposited with State
Treasurer Kay 34.458.65, being the
amount in fees collected by his office
during the quarter ending October 1.
"This In an Increase of about 25 per
cent over the amount collected during
the same period last year, and speaks
well for the development of the state,"
said Engineer Lewis. "Since January
Portland
1 Of this yer 110,173,27 has been paid!
into the atate treasury, which exceeds
the annual appropriation for the ad
ministration expenses of the office.
During the same period last year

treasury, ahowing a BubsUntlal gain
during the present year." ,
Commission Wants
Crossings Closed
Salem. Or.. Oct. T. It is announced
here that a bill will be introduced at
the next, session of the legislature to
increase the powers of the state rail
read commission so ag to make it pos
sible for them t close railroad cross
ings which are dangerous and for
which there Is very little necessity. In
some counties the county courts insist
rn maintaining' crossings close "to
gether, sometimes not more then 200
yards apart, when one would serve just
as well. In other instances tns wajran
road is permitted to cross the railroad
twice - within a space . of a Quarter of
a mile, when both crossings could as
well be done away with and tha road
built on an easy grade in s, straight
une. , .
According to the railroad commis
sion, it is to the interest of the people
at large to have crossings as safe as
.possible and, if possible, do away
with an unnecessary number. The
commission is powerless, under the
present lsw, to make- a number of
changes it believes necessary. . At
tempts to have the county courts act
have been futile, according to the com
mission. ,
