adulteration is probably due Xo the
high price which benzoic acid now
commands owing to its scarcity. It
is quoted at about eleven dollars per
pound, while the price of high grade
boric acid is only twenty to twenty
five cents per pound. As some of the
shipments of benzoic acid have been
fornd to contain as much as thirty per
cent boric acid, the enormous profit in
this form of adulteration is apparent.

"Pasquale" at Arcade.
. Those who go to sees Morosco's lat
est feature photoplay "Pasquale" re
leased on the Paramount program at
the Arcade theatre today and tomor
row will see a very unusual and re
markable production
George 'Baban in the starring role
of "Pasquale," which by the way, is
his own writing, creates a partthat
ib his greatest triumph.
The story is about two Italians, the
poor grocer, who are drawn together
one a rich banker and the other a
while back fighting as soldiers for
Italy. Their manner of living before
the call to arms reaches them at a
time when each is passing through
great sorrow is an interesting insight
into Italian life.
The absorbing interest and fascina
tion created is held until the last
scene at the end of the picture fades
into oblivion.

Stuart Holmes Rewarded for Being
"Good" Villain in Fox Films.
Fresh Oregon Corn on
the Cobb 30c a Dozen
(Sherry's, last day today.)
Virtue may be its own reward in
the very best copybook fashion, but
villainy also has its reward, as Stuart
Holmes will be able to tell you if you
ask him.
' Mr. Holmes has been a good villain.
He has been so perfectly despicable,
so Machiavellian in his meannesses, so
triumphant in his social wrongdoings
that William Fox is now ready to
star him because of his popular un
popularity.
None of the foregoing has been
written with the idea of making the
story complex or intricate. Stuart
Holmes has "made good1" in the mov.
icJ as a villain, and now he may be
seen in the star part of "Sins of
Men," a new feature film, and will
divide the billboard honors equally
with lovely Dorothy Bernard, who
came hurrying back from the Pacific
Coast studios to share fifty-fifty in
the honors.
If you have seen the Mantell-Ham-per
pictures produced by Fox you
gained a lasting impression of Stuart
Holmes. He was in all of them, and
evoked the hisses that used to be
launched at the melodramatic villains
by the gallery gods. Ho possesses
alT of the sartorial splendor that a vil
lain from the city is supposed to
have; his waxed mustache tapers to
the finest of upturned points at the i
ends, and his eyebrows can assume !
sardonic expressions independent of
his tyes and lips.
For the last five months Holmes has
been working in Jamaica. On his re
turn he brought with him his French
speaking parrot, his baby Jamaican
j wildcat and a parting glance of thank
I fulness over his departure from little
jane je, wno plays in the same pic
tures with Holmes but takes his
movie villainies quite seriously indeed

Three hundred and thirty million
feet of government timber on the Ore
gon National forest was today put up
for ibids by District Forester George
H. Cecil. This is the largest single
body of timber that the Forest Service
has ever advertised for sale in Dis.
tries 6, which comprises Oregon!
Washington and Alaska.
The area designated for cutting
embraces about 7,020 acres in Town
ship 1 south, Ranges 8, 81-2 and 9
east, iW. M., on the West Fork Hood
River watershed. Approximately 72
per cent of the timber is Douglas fir,
Western hemlock, amabilis fir, west
ern red cedar, noble fir, and western
white pine make up the remainder 6f
the stand.
The minimum stumpage prices that
will be considered are $1.20 per M for
uouglas fir, western red cedar and
i nofle nr; ?2.50 per M for western
white pine, and 50 cents per M for all
other species.
The district forester states that
provisions have been made to protect
tno scenic and other recreation fea
tures of the West Fork Hood River
region by reserving a strip of timber
along the route of the proposed road
from Dee to Lost Lake and Lolo Pass
where it crosses the sale area. The
final location of this road will be made
before any timber is cut on this sale,
The location of the sale area and the
moihod of cutting will give ample
piotection to the water resources of
tno Hood River region. It is felt by
tiie forest service that this sale rep
resents a happy combination of the
uses of National Forests, in that it
devotes an area to timber utilization
and growth without interfering with
the recreational use of nearby areas,
such as that in the vicinity of Lost
Lake.

New York, July 28. The first of
ficial report of New York's new Traf
fic court, available today, shows that
no excuses are accepted, every auto
ist or other person arrested for viola
tion of traffic regulations being fined.
During the first thirteen days the
court was in session 129 persons were
sent to jail because they didn't pay
their fines. Most of them still are
thoro and others are following them
e.vovy day. Before the Traffic court
started, about one-fiftb of all.traffic
violation fines were suspended. Now
they must all be paid. The first thir
teen days of Traffic court netted the
city $11,303 cash in fines. There
were 300 cases of speed limit viola
tion", in the 13 days, 20 chauffeurs
were convicted of driving cars with
out numbers, three persons for driv
ing cars while intoxicated and six for
failing to stop' after an 'accident,
wlfch is a felony. Two drivers' li
censes were revoked and one owner's
nun-ber suspended. Court officials say
conditions aro much better in the
streets since the new court has taken
such vigorous action against violators
o traffic regulations. "Other cities
in the United States would do well to
follow suit," said Clerk of the Court
Rowland J. Sheridan, today.
