Yesterday afternoon, after he had apent an hour or enore telling the t euperr vising' and conservation commission about ths) working of his department, he drew from Chairman Frrd U. Mulkcy an unsolicited compliment and congrata latlon, tlje flmt of Its kind ao far aa the record of that 4oinmlittiloii (to. "1 ran only say for you," Mr. Donald son," nfcalrrrran Mulkey said, after due and dignified deliberation, "if you can clean rquarn yards of hard surface pavement, as you say you do, for 30 rents a square yard, and If that figure cover all chargrs. direct and indirect, aa you say It does, you are to be con gratulated, sir, and I have nothing fur ther to say concerning your department.' At this, Donaldson, who is a modest man aa well aa an economic cleansing agent for the city, blushed and bowed snd returned brief thanks.

While Donaldson was telling his story few flakes of snow filtered past the courthouse windows and tike vigilant eye of the chairman noted them. what about bllssard money?" be asked apprehensively. I haven't any," Donaldson answered with a wry smile, "I put it in and they cut it out." It developed, however, that he has a plan mapped out for handling; storm con ditions which he can put into working order as soon as the necessity arises and the funds are provided. Mulkey Bug- j gested that the emergency fund in the I general city budget would include bus- sard money. PROMISED COOPERATION I never got a cent out of that fund as long aa I've been in the department, Donaldson said sadly, and then smiling across the table at the commission he suggested, "Maybe you gentleman can help me get some if I need it?" He was promised cooperation. Market Master Eastman is making money down on the public market, offi cially, of course, and for the general fund. The public market costs In opera tion expense approximately $5000 a year, he told the commission, while its income Is $9000. He also is a thrifty landlord. sometimes renting the same stall lour and five times a day. so that there have been dsys when as high as 400 farmers did business over the 225 stalls on Yam hill street. About 1400 service men are without work in the city, according to the public employment bureau, while, including service men, some 7500 idle men are listed In that office. This is 50 per cent more than is normal. Superintendent Jones of the bureau told the commission. GARBAGE INCREASES The commission also discussed ihe hudeet of the carbage Incinerator.

The present plant is worn out. or nearly so, and a bond issue of $200,000 may be sold to build a new incinerator, Bigelow told the commission. cowboys gave up, departing.

Fruit Growers to Maintain Gontrol Of Seattle' Show Preacher of Early Washington Days Passes at Albion Colfax. Wash., Nov. 17. The Rev. Henry O. Kerns, aged $7, an early day minister of the Northwest, died Tues day at Albion of appendicitis. He en tered the ministry 45 years ago with the United Brethren -church. He came to Washington in 188!. locating first near Huntsville. in Walla Walla county, and was one of the founders of the U. B. college at Huntsville. later founding a college under the "denomination at Al bany. He resided for a while at Steptoe, and then returned to Albion, where his last years have been spent. It is said of Rev. Mr. Kerns Ah at he never failed to keep an appointment during his long 'service as a minister, often meeting and overcoming the greatest difficulties as he traveled about the pioneer communities he served. Once when he was conducting a meeting on Hangman creek some cowboys of the neighborhood, in a spirit of fun, decided to break up the meeting by las- Legion Veterans to.

When the fruit growers of the Pacific Northwest came to the Pacific Northwest Fruit exposi tion, to be held at the Bell street ter minal, Seattle, November 21 to 26, whether they come as exhibitors or in terested spectators, they will find the way open to . them, one and all, to be come personally anf permanently iden tified with the exposition corporation and to take control of it into their own hands. The fruitgrowers themselves originat ed the idea of the -exposition. They brought it to Seattle, where they found the Chamber of Commerce, after care ful consideration of the pirn, billing to guarantee the prelminary costs of the undertaking. By agreement of all the early conferees the exposition was in corporated under the laws of the state of Washington, which permant incorpo ration for agricultural show, purposes. There are no stockholders nor any shares of stock. It is a voluntary association with an open membership. On the last day of the exposition, at 10 a. m., all the Pacific Northwest grow ers in attendance will be called together and invited into membeship. The mem bership then will elect its new board of trustees and assume full control of the management and and of any plans that may be made for perpetuation. This is not In any sense a "Seattle show,' 'and no one in Seattle has any desire to "run" it or to dictate how it 6hall be run. BOT8 CHORrS FORMED Newberg, Nov. 17. One hundred and thirty-four boys were organized here Wednesday night into a Whitney boys' chorus. First practice, under direction of H. K. K. Whitney, will be held Tues day. More boys, it is expected, will join the chorus at that time. ' n lKs on that mysteiotis 'something ARE you good for 36 holes over a hill -and -l dale course without a let -down? . . Probably not.

H-O is the only oatmeal prepared in this way. Try H-O and Raisins A few minutes before removing H-O from the fire, add from 10 to 12 raisins for each individual serving of H-O. Allow the raisins to cook in with the H-O for five minutes. They will puff up sweetening and flavoring the H-O slightly, as raisins contain p. large amount of sugar.
