Three Good Reasons Why
Aspirants for Office Do
Not Protest.
Budget Committee Raises Pay
of Engineers and Hose-men,
HEALTH BUREAU IS NEXT
Sr. Mrcllu Would Have $4800 i
Y.ar' Instead of $3000, and TMi Will
Be IMacusaed Today.
Discussion of proposed salary In
creases for members of the fire
f bureau took up most of the time of
the budget committee meeting yester
'day afternoon, and resulted in a gen
eral increase In the city's payroll of
approximately $10,000. Mayor H. R
Albee and Commissioners Dieck and
Brewster were in .favor of most of
the increases sought. They were op
posed by City Auditor Barbur and
Commissioners Daly and -Bigelow ex-
cept In unusual cases.
Hardly had the committee started to
scan the salary list when Auditor Bar
bur moved that increases be allowed
only those men who were getting less
than 100 a month, and who were en
titled to advances under the regula
tions of the fire, bureau. It. was sec
onded by Commissioner Daly, but no
attention was paid to the motion.
Chief Dowell and his five assistants
were all refused increases of $120 a
year each. The captains and those
ranking above lieutenants were treated
likewise. Hlx engineers received in
creases of $100 a year each; five were
increased a total of $250 a year; 18
lieutenants were increased a total of
$1080 a year. In these cases Commis
sioner Bigelow voted with Albee,
Dleck and Brewster, while Auditor
Barbur and Commissioner Daly op
posed them.
In tHe cases of the men lower in
the rariks, all voted for the Increases.
Among' those raised were 30 hosemen
to a total of $2700 a year; 52 hose
men of a different rank to a total of
$150 and 40 other members of the
bureau to a total of $3600 a year.
Approximately $15,000 was cut from
the maintenance expense of the fire
bureau. The work of the committee
will continue this afternoon with scan
ning the estimates of the health
bureau. City Health Officer Marcellua
is asking for a raise of $150 a month
-or $1800 a year. He is now getting
$3000 a year and he seeks $4800 a
year. Increases are also proposed for
employes of his bureau.
Members of the Portland polide de
partment are soliciting votes for a
certain candidate. Although they have
been doing this for the last two weeks
with- little or no attempts at conceal
ment, none of the' nominees whose
names appear on the November ballot
has yet protested.
The reason for the extraordinary
silence in the heat of the campaign
when nothing of a vote getting nature
usually gets by would be surprising
except for three reasons. The nom
inees are men, the candidate i a wom
an. And the third big reason" is that
she is not running for office, but is
working bard to capture one of the 26
big prizes offered in The Journal's
Trade and Circulation Contest.
She is Miss Esther Circle, daughter
of Police Captain Circle, and resides
at 1438 Union avenue, in contest dis
trict No. 2. She is backed by a largo
number of policemen already, and
more are falling into line eacn suc
ceeding clay.
Miss Circle has a large number of
friends helping her in every way they
can. After school each day she puts
in several hours of good hard drill
ing and even has the children of the
Woodlawn school working for her.
She has won two contests already
during her life, and declares that the
opportunity offered by The Journal
and firms which have joined with it is
too attractive for a wideawake person
to pass by.
"I want my friends, and that In
cludes every one of our bluecoats, to
study the contest advertisements that
are printed in The Journal and follow
the instructions and vote for me," she
declared. "I'm the police department

RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT
Treasurer Favors 5ity Taking the
Interstate Bridge Bonds.
City Treasurer Adams has recom
mended to the city council that the in
terstate bridge bonds; to be sold soon
be accepted as security for city funds
deposited In the various banks. He was
asked by county officials if these
bonds would be acceptable and his
recommendations to the council are the
result.
Mr. Adams says that it is his belief
that it will be only a short time be
fore the city und county are consoli
dated and the city will have to assume
responsibility for the bonds sold by
the county. In view of this he is will
ing to accept the bridge bonds as securities.

FIREBOAT BACK IN SERVICE
George II. Williams to Fill Local
Breach for Time.
After being out of service for nearly
two years the fireboat George H. Wil
liams Is to be placed Into service tem
porarily tomorrow. Albert W. Gates
will be the pilot.
Owing to the fact that the Campbell
has been fighting the fire In the Santa
Catalina for two days and the local
harbor has been without fire protection
is was deemed necessary to put the
Williams into service at once. Just
where she will be stationed has not
been decided.
Accountants Recommended.
The county grand jury has recom
mended a list of accountants asked
for by the city to audit the books for
the fiscal year ending November 31.
Those recommended are Alex C. Rae,
John Y. Richardson, W. R. Mackenzie

select the men to do the work.

of the ballot for the election changed.

Dallas, Or, Oct. 20. Governor Os
wald West addressed an audience in
Dallas Monday evening which entirely
filled the large circuit court room in
the courthouse. The size of the audi
ence was somewhat a surprise, as
there had been practically no advertis
ing of the governor's coming, and as
another meeting was being held by the
anti-saloon league at the high school
building.
The governor spoke in behalf of
Senator Chamberlain and Dr. C J.
Smith, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, and he handled the interests
represented by what he called the
"Oregonian crowd" in no delicate man
ner.
He pointed out how the old gang
were endeavoring to regain the rein3

asking the people to vote to create
the office of . lieutenant governor.

against electing Dr. Withycombe gov

a failure of the state experimental
farm, causing a deficit each year when
it should have paid a net profit, a3 do
privately owned farms."
He exposed the state printing graft
of the past, openly charging that un

the governor said the state printing
office will show a net saving to the
taxpayers of the state of several thou
sand dollars.

Decision on the establishment of
branch regional banks will be deferred
until the completion of the organiza
tion of the main regional reserve bank
at San Francisco, according to R. Lea
Barnes, vice president of the United
States National bank, who returned to
day from San Francisco. Mr. Barnes
conferred there with leading bankers.
"As a matter of fact, the Vreeland
currency bill Is working so satisfac
torily in the northwest that there is
no hurry about the organization of the
branch bank," declared John C. Alns-
worth, president of the United States
National. "The wheat is moving fastei

liquor business. His name Is Jerome

Dr. Withycombe.
"Will vote for Smith,
Joe McMillan of Crab Creek was the
next arrival. "I am going to vote for
Smith," he said, "because Withycombe
will be too expensive. AVithyoombe
doesn't like to say no. Smith is not
afraid to stand by his colors and fight.
I like to know where a man is and
what he stands for. I believe the state
will go dry and I think Smith will be
elected. A lot of my neighbors who
are Republicans are going to vote for
Smith because they think he will make
the best governor.
E. F. West of Plainview said: "Put
me down for dry', for Smith and for
Chamberlain."
Cal Stewart, who lives four miles
west of Albany, said: "I am going to
vote wet. I don't look like a fool, do
I? Nobody with any sense would vote
anything but wet. I have been voting
a straight ticket ever since 1861, so I
guess I will vote for Withycombe and
Booth."
"I am a Republican," said another
man, and I live six miles east of the
courthouse, but I don't know whom I
shall support for senator and gov
ernor. I am a dry-" '
Too Busy to Talk.
G. D. Burdick joined the conversa
tion. "Of course, the state will go
dry," he said. "Smith is going to be
elected governor. Most of the women
are going to vote for him because he
stands for law enforcement."
We stepped out of the way to let
a mud-splashed vehicle drive in. The
driver was Ed SchoeL "1 am going
to vote for Smith for governor and
Chamberlain for senator. You can tell
by my name that I am a German. At
least 75 per cent of my people are
going to vote for Smith."
The next man who drove In was
about 50, and said he was too busy
to Uaik. "I am hungry and 1 haven't
time to tell you my name. I am going
to vote for Smith and Chamberlain."
Felix Dodele of Wells, Benton county,
declared for Withycombe and said
"that timber business is very harm
ful to Booth's candidacy."
C. M. Westbrook, also of Benton
county, said: "I am voting wet
Withycombe and Booth are my can
didates." D. S. Smith, ex-sherlff of Linn
county, said: "Smith will run far
ahead of his ticket in this county.
Most of the women will vote for
Smith, because of his stand on law
enforcement."
Prediction Ii Made.
F. P. Nutting said: "Linn county
will go dry by 1500 to 2000, and Smith
will get most of the dry strength. I
hear many Republicans say they are
going to support Smith because he
is outspoken and not a trimmer. They
think Smith is dependable and will
stand by his principles and pledges.
Withycombe Is losing strength all the
time."
W. R. Bilyeu said: "Smith stands
for law enforcement, and. Irrespective
of politics, the women are going to
vote for him. The thing that Is hurt
ing Dr. Withycombe is that people
think him too easy going and that
he will accordingly let all kinds of
extravagant legislation go through.
Taxes are high enough now and tlTe
people want a governor who will stand
up and fight, using the veto fearless
ly. The chances for Smith and Cham
berlain are mighty good in Linn
county."
Mrs. Cason. who was 87 years old.
was born in Ohio and came to Oregon
in 1853 making her home In Portland.
It was in her home that the Centenarv
Methodist church was organized. Her i
nusoand was Hillary Cason.
She was the mother of 13 children,
of whom five survive her. The fu
neral will be held Thursday from the
home of a daughter, Mrs. H. P. Lee,
200 East Fifty-sixth street, and burial
will be in Lone Fir cemetery.

How to Save the Best Cough
Remedy and Save $2 by
Making It at Home
Cough medicines; as a rule, contain
a large quantity of plain syrup. A
pint of granulated sugar wth pint
of warm water, stirred for ' 2 minutes,
gives you as good syrup as money can
buy.
Then get from your druggist 2V6
ounces Pinex (50 cents worth), pour
into a pint bottle and fill the bottle
with sugar syrup. This gives you, at
a cost of only 54 cents, a full pint of
really .better cough syrup than you
could buy ready made for $2.50 a
clear saving of nearly $2. Full direc
tions with Pinex. It keeps perfectly
and tastes good. t
It takes hold of the usual cough or
chest , cold at once and conquers it in
24 hours. Splendid for whooping cough
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishiifcg how quickly it
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the inflamed
membranes in the case of a painful
cough. It also stops the formation of
phlegm in the throat and bronchial
tubes, thus ending the persistent
loose cough.
PJInex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with gualacol, and has been
used for generations to heal inflamed
membranes of the throat and cliest.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2 ounces of Pinex."
