MIE KNOWS AFTER 20 YEARS A cold, even wnen It has devel-c-ped a hacking cough, difficult breathing, sleepless nights, raw Ihroat and sore lungs. even then a cold yields quickly to Foley's Honey and Tar. Mrs. Milton Waite, Uox 32, Azalia, Mich., writeis : "I have used Foley's Hon ey and Tar for the past 20 years and find there is no other cough or croup remedy like it. You may use my name." It gets right at the seat of the trouble. Child ren like it. Sold everywhere. .Adv. l DALLAS CASE Field and Housh Want Ac counting Dissolution of Lee Partnership DALLAS, Ore , Nov. IS. (Spe cial to The Statesman) D. M. Field and F. M. Housh yesterday made application to the circuit court for the appointment of a receiver for the accounting and the dissolution .of their partner ship with W. C Lee who has had the contract for the hardsurfac ing about 20 blocks of streets in Dallas this summer. The plafntiffs state that they were awarded the contract by the Dallas city council last spring and that they assigned it to Lee under an agreement by which they were to receive a share of the profits. They assert that the division has never been made. Tho court is asked to place a receiver in charge of finishing up the work in Dal las and to prohibit Lee from col lecting and expending any more money that may be paid him on the contract. The contract with Mr. Lee and the city : of Dallas expired Sep tember 3 and since that time the contractor has been assessed $25 for each day and the same system will be continued until the con tract has been finished. The cTty council has had several appeals by the contractor and other in terested persons asking them not to enforce the penalty as provided in the contract but on the alle gation that the contractor wasted several weeks of thne when excel lent weather for road building prevailed. The appeals have fall en on deaf ears. It is estimated that it' will still take at least two weeks to finish up the job If the weather is good and until the job is completed and accepted by the city . council, Is not disposed to grant the refunding' of the pen alty and if such is the case the profits on the job will doubtless amount practically to nothing. Ac tion will probably be taken by the court early next week.

(Ry the Associated: Press I The United States raijroad labor board an nounced tonight that the new working rules for the six shop crafts prolbably will be completed and issued in time to become ef fective December 1, Issuance of rules, under retrofit decision of the board, paves the way for consideration of requests which may be filed by the roads for revision of the shop 'craft wage schedules. All Roads Affected The neir shop craft ruies will affect approximately 800.000 men on all classes of railroads in the country. jOnly 94 railroads are directly concerned in the present case se, the others not having their bmiss'.obs in proper shape when . su the case was taken up, but board members rantieipate that all the class onelrailroads probably will carry ou the decision without further hearings. The board's statement issued tonight slid: "Such j satisfactory progress during the past we?k has been made in 'the consideration ot rules and! working conditions for the six shop crafts that it is al together probable that these rules will be completed and will become effective pecember 1" IWpid Work Done The board members pointed out tonight that the new rules virtually have been completed in less than five months, while the national agreement, which thv supersede! require the attention of railway, government and labor representatives and expert seven months ;The board, it was indi cated tonight, will next take up for consideration the rule? and working Conditions for the main tenance of way employes. There are a larfce number of disputed questions regarding these rule already before the board, und stat'stlciahs have prepared most of the' rapes for presentation. It is probable that formulation of ruleq on (the d'sputed points af fecting this class of employes will be more expeditious than was pos sible in the shops crafts cases, be cause, according to board mem bers, thej questions are less com plex and" do not involve so many elasses of: labor.

California Probably Will Be Undisputed Coast Cham pion Tonight SAN FRANCISCO., Nov. 1 S.- Football championship honors of the Pacific coast conference for 1921 tomorrow night probably will rest with the undefeated Cal ifornia eleven, which is expected to have little trouble defeating Stanford in tomorrow's "big game," the last conference con test of the year for both team. The California Bear3 won the title last season and a win to morrow would give thenr an un broken string of victories for the two years. Another coast conference "big game" tomorrow will be at Eu cene where Oregon and the Ore gon Agpies meet in their 27th annual battle for the state title. A close contest, with the outcome uncertain, is expected. Oregon started tha season weak, but two weeks ago stiffened and held the strong Washington State eleven to a 7-7 tie. The Aggies did the opposite and started out with the reputation of being the best eleven in the Pa cific northwest this year. Two dafeats, however, one 7-3 by the Washington State eleven and the other 14-7 by Stanford, put them out of the conference race. The third "big game" on the coast tomorrow will b? at Le Angeles, where Whittier college. the champion of the southern California conference, meets Uni versity of Southern California, a non-conference team, for the championship of all that part of the state. The Pacific fleet's strong eleven plays St. Mary's college here Sun day. Other battles on tomorrow's schedule are between Gonzaga and Idaho at Spokane; Multno mah vs the Ninth army corps at Portland, and Occidental vs Po mona. LUST PRACTICE Coach "Shy" Huntingdon Pronounces Every Man in Good Condition EUGENE. Or.. Nov. is. Final practice was held tins afternoon by the University of Oregon foot ball team and "Shy" Huntington, head coach, pronounced every man in the squad in fit condition for tomorrow's game with Oregon Agricultural college on llayward field. The Oregon team is pro nounced by critics to be in better condition now than at any pre vious time this season, and the men will expect to fight harder tomorrow than in any other game played this year. a O A. C. is their traditional rival from which Oregon has won a majority of the games played between the two teams during the past 2 5 years. Hayward field now has a seat ing capacity cf 17,000 and it is expected that every seat will be occupied tomorrow.
