PRIVATE RMS t MAY F GIT 'EDGE OVER CITY PLANT The tentative suggestion of Mayor Baker at a. recent hearing on com plaints against the city using the municipal paving .plant fbr general contract work, to ' the effect that a differential might be established In favor of other contractors, may lead to definite consideration on that line. The Associated General Contractors ,of America. Portland branch through O. O. Hughson. executive secretary, has taken up the , idea, and a letter . sent to the city council today states that the association has it under dis cussion. i "The idea was new to us," says the letter, "but we have given it some thought to tbe end that we believe some such adjustment could be arrived at that would be satisfactory to all ' concerned." - The letter suggests that a committee be -appointed to prepare a basis that woald cover the items which the con tractor is compelled to carry into his work and that the city does not carry in the work of the municipal paving plant. PLAXS FOR OARAGE 5EAR CITY HALT ARE OPPOSED A plea for preserving- better-looking conditions in the vicinity of the city ball is involved in the protest which 17 petitioners have made to the city council against granting a permit for the erection and maintenance of a garage at Fifth and Jefferson streets.

Following one of the most unusual court scenes on record, the Jury In the case of Mada lynne Obenchain was discharged by Judge Schenck shortly after 5 :30 p. m. Tuesday. The district- attorney's office an nounced that it would proceed to a new trial as soon as possible. The Jury was called back into court by the judge after 97 hours' delibera tion, and . got into a squabble in open court over the question of Mrs. Oben cbain's guilt or innocences One juror spoke up and 'said he "be lieved the worn a r guilty" and would keep on voting that way. Another juror said he thought she was inno cent. This precipitated a wordy battle among jurymen and women which the bailiff was unable to stop for some time. Following dismissal, one member of the Jury declared on the final ballot the jury stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction on a charge of manslaughter. He said 'the Jury had never taken a vote on first or second degree murder. Another Juror Interrupted and de clared that Foreman Paddock had not allowed them to vote on the question of manslaughter, and that all the bal lots had been taken on the question of murder. ,i During the court squabble, one of the Jury women informed the court that she objected to several of the jurors putting in blank ballots. It then developed that on many of th ballots three or four Jurors had voted blank.

BEN SELLING .Portland's Leading Clothier for Over Half a Century' J dictions that Reed would carry St. Louis and Kansas City by aproxi mately 50,000 votes. With a lead of aproximately 50.000 iri these two cities, the senator would be renominated, as indications are. that Long's country majority will fall short of this number. The majority of the missing precincts are from the rural districts, where Long's strength lies, and Reed's lead may be cut down considerably in later returns. Ignoring the big lead 'Reed was re ceiving in St. Louis and Kansas City i Long announced that he waa still tn the race. "Returns from the country districts are very encouraging." Long told In ternational News Service. "On the basis of figures we are receiving, I will' win in the-rural districts by from 50,000 to 55,000 votes." R. R. Brewster of Kansas City, the "old guard" candidate, was leading his nearest opponent by approximately 3000 votes In the state for the Repub lican senatorial nomination. With approximately one half the state heard from, the Republican sen atorial race apparently would center between Brewster and Sacks, as At torney General Jess W. Barrett, who was running third, was far in tbe rear of Sacks. BLUE LAW SCHOOL CANDIDATE IS VICTORIOUS IN KANSAS (By United Newi) Topeka, Kan.. Aug. 2. W. V. Mor gan, Hutchinson.

The deputies put him in their auto mobile amd started for the county Jail when Slater vaulted from the car, jumped the fence along Montgomery drive and raced down the hill through the brush. Deputy Sheriff Talley final ly caught up with him and made him surrender with a blow on the jaw. Other complaints dating back four months aave kept the authorities on his track- AD CLUB. HEARS BILLY SUNDAY Billy Sunday and Ma Sunday rotated each other out of bed at 5 o'clock this morning, built the fire, cooked break fast, milked the cow. fed the chickens, gave parting instructions about paint ing the bulldinjs white and the roofs red. and drove down from Hood River valley to plead before the Portland Ad club at the Benson in Portland, for support of the Mount Hood loop road project. Did they? The most veracious chron icler will say they were there. But at 1 :30 o'clock, which, like the laws of the Medea and Persians, is the unalter able closing hour of the club. Billy Sunday waa still yielding to the evan gelistic fervor of lengthening life. He had spattered snatches of all his sermons at the rate of 419 words a minute for a half hour. He had con fessed that he was- "Just givin' her the gas and was steppin' on her; he had pleaded for business morality and Christian living with all the fervor at the command .of his vocabulary but he hadn't touched on the Mount Hood loop road. He may have meant to do so when he said that his place is to be all painted red and white he doesn't believe in blues In reSdiness for the 1925 exposition. But what he did get shouted applause with was the state ment : "If I was God far 15 minutes I'd give these Bolsheviks and I. W. W. such a slugging there wouldn't be anything left of them but a bunch of whiskers and a bad smell." But although Mayor Baker referred welcoming Ma Sunday to Billy Sunday as "one man who can take money away from people and give them religion, ' and although Ma Sunday said she , thoSight the mayor had made the stumbl ingest speech: he- had yet emitted. Billy Sunday, left the Mount Hood loop road either to the time- fol followlng 1:30. when his audience was smaller, or to another occasion" when he can be sure of having again the same packed house to which he played today. . State Highway Commissioner ' John B. Teon made the plea for the Mount Hood Loop road, and President' George L. Rauch of the Ad club unmercifully scored County Commissioner Ralph W. Hoyt for being sgainst it, and County Commissioner Rudeen for being equiv ocal about it. County -Commissioner Rufus C Holman he praised for being in favor of the loop road. Beside . presenting bouquets fur nished by Tommy Luke to Bessie Euhles, the girl of the telephone com pany who reproduces flute notes with her own throat. . and to Ma Sunday, Mayor Baker asked support of the plan to send a 1925 caravan around Oregon, and the support he asked was voted to him.

Uttle Heap, trade character of Th SprecJteU " Saxage " Tire Com pany, vLrualixej tH BBtmare Hotel sjocs n the course of construction. Southern California is noted for 'its rood roads and wonderful highways. A tire will urely give satisfaction under normal con ditions here if anywhere. To recite everyday instances of performance and mile, age in this territory would be to paint an unusually glowing picture, for the ordinary run is not especially taxing on good makes of tires. Worth while comparisons, pointing to the superiority of our product over other makes, can therefore be brought out best by citing unusual types of service, showing the dura bility, correct construction and economy of Savage tires in service which renders ex cessive stress and hard usage. Unusual Service A fleet of trucks operating, throughout the city, making 254 to 4 stops a day, has been equipped with Savage Cords solving the tire problem of this company by in creasing their tire mileage lMjl. Another 1 local corporation operating a fleet of 225 cars throughout Southern Cali fornia has standardized on Savage tires after an exhaustive test In which our tires were compared with other makes under every existing local condition. Many of these cars are heavily loaded as a usual thing. Savage Cords on one-ton Tord trucks loaded daily to 49 and 454 pounds are giv ing far greater service " than any other tire ' equipment used in a similar .manner by a local feed and fuel company. A Jobber sending salesmen Into an out lying territory, where roads are particularly rocky, claims Savage Cords are the only tire that Is capable of giving their men satisfactory service. Tire men and motorists familiar with tire construction have found in the Savage Cord seventeen outstanding constructional fea tures that make it the wonderful tire it is. X Almost any tire will give satisfactory service under ideal conditions. Some makes will even render satisfactory service under certain adverse conditions. Certain makes -of tires will peifot m best on long drives over pavements, other makes -will show to better advantage on dirt highways and so it goes. X Out object has been to build Savage Tires to perform equally well under every condition on the short haul of the heavily ladened commercial car, on the heated roads of the sandy desert, over mud and stones of the land of forests or the broad dirt highways of the plains. C That we have accomplished our purpose is evident from the results users of Savage Tires are getting everywhere. THE SPRECKELS SAVAGE TIRE CO.'

LeMoss Service Station,' Grants Pass Lastyear7,400,000 tons of coal, 2,340,00( bar rels of fuel oil, and 3,000,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas were burned in the manu facture of cement in the United States. Each 376-pound barrel of cement represents an average fuel con sumption of 200 pounds of coal, or its equivalent. Fuel is one of the large necessary cost elements entering into the manufac ture of cement. About 35 J per cent of the cost of manufacturing cement goes for fuel. Every one knows that coal costs a great deal more than before the war. In 1921 the coal bill of the cement industry totaled approximately $40,000,0(XX Q Q Q Heat required in cement making is about 3000 de grees Fahrenheit. This isja higher temperature than required in steel , making, gold smelting, or almost any other industrial proc ess involving heat. This intense heat, is neces sary to fuse the limestone and other materials into what is known as clinker. Grinding mills pulverize the coal into a fine powder before it is blown into the kiln to be used as fuel. This grinding costs about $lper ton.
