The skies are bright and blue, the hills are green and the oranges are ripening in the mellow sunshine. THREE TRAINS A DAY via the SHASTA ROUTE HIT OF FIRST Si v Assemblage Here Never More Brilliant; Home Talent Is at Its Best. 3 NIGH til t GAIETY INCREASED BY ELKS Beaux and Belles of Panama' En thusiastically Applauded; Setting Kivals Traditional Descrip tions of Vairj laud. Surpassing' even the magnificent suc cess of the first night's performance of "Jappyland," the marvelously beau tiful Oriental extravaganza was given last night before a capacity house at the Armory. Never has a more brilliant assemblage greeted a Portland audi ence. Never has musical comedy by lo ch! talent been so Deautifully staged. When the vast throng was seated and the curtains parted there was a burst of enthusiastic applause, for the scene displayed rivaled ail the traditional descriptions of Fairyland. The vast auditorium, transformed Into a bower of pink-petaled blossoms, was lighted with myriad gaily-colored lanterns and the stage was draped in Oriental banners and banked with blos soms. Encores Are Preqnent. Throughout the entire evening the audience repeatedly encored the danc ers and soloists. Flowers in great quan tities, the choicest of the local shops, were received by those taking part. All the dancers showed graco and gave their numbers charmingly. Par ticularly pleasing was the Elks' num ber, "The Beaux and Belles of Panama." In which Miss Nona Lawler, with all the vim and fascination of a Colon belle, took the leading part. It was Elks' night, and members of the order were out in great numbers and, with the en thusiasm characteristic of the organ ization, they added an atmosphere of festivity and when time came for vot ing for popular dances they backed their "beaux and belles'" loyally. The voting will continue tomorrow and will be the center of interest. Smart society, resplendent in hand some apparel, occupied all of the boxes, and in the main audience were noticed many of the most prominent business men, society and club women, musi cians and artists, all enjoying the beau tiful scene, the inspiring and tuneful music and the grace and skill of the tiancers. Miss Gilmore Sang Delightfully. The opening chorus was given by 60 pretty "Jappy" maids, each one arrayed in handsome kimono and carrying a coquettish fan and i?ay chrysanthe mum. Miss Thelina Gilmore, as soloist, sang delightfully. George Hotchkiss Street and his yachting party of jolly American boys and girls made a decid ed hit. Mr. Street's rich baritone voice and excellent stage presence made his part one of the evening's best. Irish Colleens in emerald green bon nets and frocks of green and white were picturesque as they capered blithely with all the charm of Erin's lassies. Frank Moore was leader of the group, appearing In contrast to the girls in scarlet and white. "The cute little cuddle-ups," with dainty, clever Elise Cramer as soloist, received a round of deserved applause. Parasol Girls Win. Mrs. Herman Politz made an attract ive leader for the parasol girls, whoMn stunning array and saucy slit skirts were among the favorites. The "Kah-Rahs,- with Frank "Wilton, created lots of enthusiasm and gave their songs and yells as all true col lego boys and co-eds should.

If the Maegly Junction Commercial Club has its way, the Columbia boule vard will be one of the first roads which will be hard-surfaced under the new law which provides that the county and property owners divide the cost of the road improvement. A let ter was received yesterday by the County Commissioners from the club, asking for directions as to the proper course of procedure to take up the matter of hard-surfacing the center of the boulevard, under the bond act.

As Mrs. Loveland fell back into her chair. Miss Francesca C. R. Grothjean, an artist neighbor, knelt be side her and supported her as Mrs. Loveland pleaded to be allowed to fin ish her testimony and to see the body of her husband. The inquest opened unfavorably to Mrs. Loveland, with. Detectives Hill and Ackerman on the stand. Their testi mony was chiefly as to .the position of the body, the tact that an automatic gun requires strong pressure on two distinct points to discharge and the statements made by Mrs. Loveland when they first talked to her. KeleUbor Showa ' Esteem. Ray Barkhurst. 691 Broadway, a neighbor of the Lovelands, told of his knowledge of the stories told by Mrs. Loveland after' the shooting ard thev actions of Loveland prior to the shoot ing. He injected his personal esteem for Mrs. Loveland into his testimony. In spite of repeated warnings by Collier and Coroner Slocum. . Mrs. Barkhurst supported her hus- band s testimony, and Miss Grothjean was called. From the moment when she pleaded with the Coroner andCol lier to allow her to tell her own story in her own way to the moment when she unwrapped a Bible from the folds of a paper parcel and showed where Mrs. Loveland had written a. relative's address to be used in case of the Love lands' quarrel resulting fatally, her testimony was theatrical. She told of the actions of Loveland before the shooting and the discovery of the death when Mrs. Loveland ran to the Grothjean home. Following her came Mrs. Loveland. Six more witnesses were to be called, but the jury, carried off Its feet by the emotional appeal of the sobbing widow, refused to take further testi mony.

BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. 1TH eyes brimming with tears, a sob in her voice and her work hardened hands clasping and un clasping nervously, Mrs. W. A. Love land told the . story yesterday of the incidents attending her husband's death and of the tragic moment when the fatal shot was fired. Her attor ney consented to the interview, the first she has given to a reporter since the tragedy. . She was permitted to come from the cell In the County Jail to the matron's room. Mrs. Loveland's eyes are a soft hazel and she has quantities' of light brown hair. She wore an Inexpensive ready made suit and a neat waist. "Oh, when I get out of this, what am I going to do?" she asked. "Why, I'm going to work hard and prove to the world that I am a good woman. I will support my little boy." Bravely she struggled against the tears, but at mention of the boy, Wil lard Strickland, her eyes filled repeat edly. He's a good little fellow," said the stricken mother, "and I was trying to bring him up to be a fine man. I will prove yet that I am worthy and he shall not be ashamed of his mother." "Worlc Got ou Man's Sferves." "You know my husband was a wood engraver." she said, "and he did such delicate work that It got on his nerves and he became highly Irritable. He was always suspicious, always jealous. I was always good and true to him. When he worked late at night I sat up and made him a little supper. I went errands for him, taking his cuts down to Rice & Phelan's frequently. "The making of the last cut seemed to be the thing that completely upset him. On Tuesday when we went to gether to- their place he found that his work wasn't complete. It annoyed him terribly and he exclaimed, 'I must ba crazy.' "A few minutes later when we went to the Home Telephone Company to see about installing a phone he accused me of flirting with a man in the office whom I had never even noticed. That started him nagging me, which he continued to do all the rest of the day." When they reached their house and had put away their bundles, Loveland went out, giving no explanation. His wife waited' patiently for his home coming, watched and worried, strained her eyes at the window as each car stopped, listened all night In dread and suspense, but the man never came. At 10:30 o'clock the following morning lie arrived, haggard in appearance and with no excuse for his absence. Meal la Prepared. - "I got him to eat some dinner at 1 o'clock." she went on, "and "then he lay down on the couch to sleep.

As It was out of sight I felt safe in lying down. But I couldn't sleep and thinking I'd please Will, I. got up and made him some pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. He was so pleased with pumpkin pies generally, and I did want a happy Thanksgiving day. "But my dream of happiness wasn't to come true. When he awoke he struck at me with a chair and missing me. came and beat me with his fists. I pleaded with him. I begged him to quit." Sobs and tears mingled with the story of the man's unreasonable jealousies and his demands for the gun. The woman in living over that terrible struggle which" she says occurred, told how after repeated - beatings she shoved him where the weapon was. She told how she happened to get pos session of it and of her feeling of security thinking the safety eaten was on, and then of the report 'And the falling of her husband. . Loveland gave as his reason for his suspicions against her, the woman says, the difference In their ages, she being 15 years his junior.

SCOTT, Gensral Passenger Agent LftDD URGES EXHIBIT Display of State Products at Ashland Good Plan. RAISING FUND SUGGESTED All Parts of Oregon Should Be Rep resented and Money Should Come In Small Contributions, Is' Opinion Given. "An exhibit of the products of the entire state of Oregon, displayed at an important gateway like Ashland, meets my approval," said William M. Ladd yesterday. "First of all, however, It must not in any way be local, but must be a com plete, exhaustive and attractive exhibit of the resources of the btate, substan tially housed, kept In fine order, and mus-t be handled in an economical and impartial way. -iThe different counties and commu nities of th state, at least during the heavy travel of 1915, should have men in charge who are not only well In formed generally, but wherever possi ble those who have had practical ex perience upon farms, orchards, dairies and ranches of the state and who know how to tell about it. "Equal prominence should be given to the productions of every portion of the state. A. thorough canvass should be made of all the communities In Western Oregon, Central Oregon and Eastern Oregon in advai ce. The com mercial organizations representative of public sentiment in every portion of Oregon should be canvassed, and full explanation made to all as to the common-sense reasons why this presecta ion at Ashland should be made. It should be kr.own in advance just what advantage Eugene, Hood River, Klam ath Falls, Coos Bay. Baker, Bend and other points will expect to receive through making an exhibit at Ashland and occasionally, at least, having a personal representative there, and what advantages they will secuie for their special localities. Many Discuss Plan. "I learn that a great many commu nities in Western Oregon have already discussed this project and are in favor of it, but it cannot be thoroughly suc cessful without the advance assurance that it" will comprehensively present the advantages and attractions of the entire state, and sentiment for it is universally voiced by every section. "Personally, I favor it. Ashland is the most Important gateway in Oregon outside of Portland. The travel on the main line of the Southern Pacific be tween Portland and San Francisco is enormous and will be larger in 1915 than at any other time. The stop made by the trains at Ashland is a long one, for it is not only a division point, but is at the beginning and the end of a long hill and mountain climb, and cau tion makes it necessary to take time for complete inspection of every train that passes. "A comparison of Northern California hills, canyons and mountains with the fertile valley of the Rogue River Is especially favorable to Oregon. . A great many of our people know the sit uation at Ashland, and It is unneces sary for me to pay any compliments to that favored region. "I am especially anxious that every precautions should be taken against making the display local In any par ticular, and I would like to see such a character of direct results come from this effort that the state Legislature would decide to make the exhibit a permanent one. I have taken a walk during the train-stop at Ashland, bought fruit there upon so many dif ferent occasions that probably, like other citizens of the state, I would continue that habit and pay no special attention to the exhibit; but I don't think that would be the case with the thousands of strangers, particularly those who are looking for a place for a permanent home. Travelers Stop at Cltleau "We are not locating people upon our lands as rapidly a3 we would like. The price may have something to do with determining that, but the main trouble Lhe desire of the great majority of people to live in our larger towns and cities. The bulk of the travel on the Pacific Coast (as elsewhere throughout the United States) makes stops only at tho commercial centers. "There is one important point that ought to be discussed thoroughly. The Legislature of Oregon does- not meet until January, 1915. Meantime a fund f money would have to be advanced early in 1914 to get the exhibit ready. I don't think this amount should ex ceed $25,000, and that should come from every part of the state. No one indi vidual or interest should be permitted to advance more than $500. Many sub scriptions of smaller amounts would be much mora effective, but there are few who would care to make subscriptions until they were assured that the Lee: 3lature would return their money dur ing the early part of 1915. "Py that time, IX ft larger sum was 5: a SUNSET needed, and it was universally fe't throughout the state that such a show ing of Oregon's products would be of real value, there would be no trouble in securing any additional approppria tion that might be needed. Of course every precaution as to intelligent ex penditure and economical management would be necessary." Pasco Gets Required Xumber. PASCO, Wash., Nov. 28. (Special.)

All Who Read May Know The readers of The Oregonlan, especially those who are in touch with all that goes on in its ad vertising columns and who are reaping the personal benetlts that come from the information thus gained, will not be surprised to learn that newspaper advertising is now considered by expert authority to be the most valuable and most direct aij. in the marketing of any article or product of real worth and merit. Newspaper advertising of the first grade developed In papers like The Oregonian, has outgrown its purely local usage and you now see manu facturers and distributors carrying on extensive newspaper advertising campaigns in various cities and sec tions and often over the whole country, to the end that all who read may know the merits of their wares. When you are told In the ad vertising columns of The Orego nian that such and such a hat, or suit, or food, or what-not of all the things you need, is of unusual quality and dependability, and you are directed where to go to procure it. It is very good advice to fol low. And, if you are a merchant and don't happen to carry any of that particular kind of merchandise, it is a very good kind to have on your- shelves and to display on your counters and in jour windows because nowadays people know what they want and will patronize those merchants who have it.
