OWN A GOOD WATCH
IlSIIIIIIIEIiilllllllllilllll
"7"OU hold yourself as a' young man worthy of
confidence, ambitions, enterprising, and people
are willing to take you at the valuation you put on
yourself. Therefore they expect you to carry a
good watch an accurate time keeper, in a case of
reliable quality.
If you havn't such a watch, you handicap your
self. You can't offer a valid excuse for not owning
a good watch. Time's too valuable to be wasted by
lack of one, especially since good watches are so
moderately priced at our store. Come in and
examine our watches.

STORY OF ROBBER.
The Romance of This Now Highly
Prized Material.
WAS OF LITTLE USE AT FIRST.
Not Until the Vulcanizing Proceai Was
Invented Did Itt Vast Posilbilitiea
Become Apparent How the Amazon
Monopoly Was Broken.
The average man believes that rub
ber is rubber, just as silver is silver
and Ivory Is Ivory; but, as a matter of
fact, the different kinds of rubber run
into the hundreds. If you were to take
up one of the commercial dallies which
devote their columus to the news of the
different industries you would find
prices quoted on thirty or forty differ
ent sorts of rubber. Some are called
after their geographical location, some
take their name from the method of
preparation, and others have names de
scriptive of their form.
Originally all rubber came from the
valley of the Amazon. When It was
first discovered no one knows. At any
rate, when the first white men, follow
ing along after Columbus, visited South
America they found the Indians play
ing with balls made from the exuda
tion of the bark of a certain tree,
and these balls differed from any the
Europeans had ever seen, for they
bounded and Tebounded and were full
of life. But that was not the only use
the Indians put this milk of the tree to.
They smeared it on their blankets to
make them waterproof.
Still, 200 years and more went by,
and, while many wise men believed
this elastic, cohesive, impermeable sub
stance ought to be full of usefulness,
nobody found any way to use it to any
advantage it was so brittle in cold
weather and so disposed to get soft If
hot weather. But in the fullness of
time a Connecticut Yankee sfarted to
puzzle it out. It took him the better
part of ten years, but he did it, and In
1839 gave- the World his vulcanization
process, which is in use today.
Up to that time rubber was so cheap
that ships from South America some
times used it as ballast, taking their
chances of selling it for what they
could get in some American port.
With the discovery of the vulcanizing
process rubber took on a new hue aud
a new value, and the tropics were
searched for it everywhere. It was
found In the vines of Africa, and guttu
percha, a sort of first cousin to rubber,
was found in Borneo, and some years
ago a large volume of rubber wps
found in the guayule shrubs of Mex
ico.
As rubber grew in value the chem
ists fell to work and devised ways of
recovering it from old shoes and hose
and other articles into which it en
tered, and thus "reclaimed rubber"
soon came to equal the new rubber iu
volume, and all these varieties found
some legitimate use. Gutta percha
makes unapproachable insulation for
ocean cables. Balata, which comes
from the Gulanas, is famous for belt
ing, and. even "reclaimed rubber,"
taken from junk heaps, serves perfect
ly well for flooring aud mats and other
articles where resiliency is not needed.
For many years the best rubber was
that which came from the banks of the
Amazon. The people of that country
enjoyed a practical monopoly and de
termined to keep it. Not a rubber seed
would they let get out of the country,
under heavy penalties. But from time
immemorial the fear of punishment
has given way before the lure of shin
ing gold, and in 1870, by means of gen
erous presents here and there, a ven
turesome Englishman sailed out of the
Amazon with 70,000 rubber seeds, and
that was the start of the great rubber
plantations of Ceylon and the Malay
peninsula.
The beginning was slow. It was
twenty-nine years after these seeds left
the Amazon before the first plantation
rubber was ready for the market, aud
then the total was only 145 tons. That
was in 1905. But since then the pro
duction of plantation rubber has grown
enormously, until now It is about 100,
000 tons.
Various rubbers can be used for vari
ous purposes. For some purposes a
lifeless rubber will answer well enough,
while for other purposes the only rub
ber that will adequately serve is the
one that has life and reallency and
toughness. There are numberless rub
ber articles of commerce where resili
ency and wear combined are necessary
and where cheaper grades or too large
a proportion of "reclaimed rubber" Is
the poorest sort of economy. Hartford

McCOOL WINS BOUT
Smoker Card is One of Best Given
Here. Martin Fights to Draw
Sammy Morris, Portland boxer,
went back on his agreement as to
the value of his pugilistic efforts and
his immaculate reputation, and spent
so much of his energy in convincing
the managers of the Falls City Ath
letic club that he would not fight for
the price stipulated that he was com
paratively easy meat for Shell Mc
Cool in the feature bout of the club
smoker at Masonic hall on Tuesday
evening. McCool had the best of the
fight in four rounds, divided honors
with Morris in the fifth and lost the
sixth to Morris. Referee Ralph Shep
herd gave McCool a well-earned de
cision. The management had to
meet Morris' figure before the fight
could be staged.
Carl Martin and Jimmy Moscow
put up the best fight of the evening
and went six rounds to a draw. Ping
Bodie lost by decision in his bout with
Buck Smith, a hard hitting .boy from
Astoria and Freddie Lough won the
decision after a hard six round go
with Eddie Olson of Seattle. Joe
Farrell of Oregon City had no trouble
in proving that he was a better man
than Kid Pluto of Portland and forced
Pluto to stop before the go was fin
ished. The club is planning another
smoker for February 8, and may ar
range a bout between Valley Trambi
tas and Al Somers, middleweights.
Although New York is still in the
irrin of winter, thoughts of lighter
clothes to be worn under sunny skies
begin to be forced on our attention.
Immediately after the holiday reason

for it is now that the exodus to warm

of us who either from choice or ne
cessity must see the winter through

nlate the stvles that are offered for

accurate forecast of what will be

The New Colors
Green is one of the most fashion
able colors for the coming season. It
has already been launched by Paris
with great success; furthermore, it is
the true color of spring and for that
reason most appropriate for this sea
son of the year. There is a delicate
canary yellow used both for afternoon
and evening gowns which is quite
new and promises to be very much fa
vored. Yellow1 in any shade seems to
meet with approval. The deep mus
tard and citron shades are considered
especially smart for sports clothes.
We have not been able to get away
from dark blue, for, in spite of many
people being tired of it, Fashion con
siders it correct for the tailored suit
and dress, and it is much too practical
a color to be discarded. f
Blouses of Chiffon'
The sketch illustrates a blouse of
chiffon made to be worn outside the
skirt, a style which increases in popu
larity as time goes on. The neck
line, going straight across the front
and back from shouider to shoulder,
is also proving very popular. This
line is not so hard when the material
is softly shirred and an additional
piece of plain chiffon is placed over
the shoulder. Shirred pockets at the
edge of the peplum, and the ribbon
decoration ending in loops below the
belt, which is finished with a prim,
tailored bow directly in front, are spe
cial style features worthy of consid
eration, for they appear in many of
the new models, varying according to
the nature of the design.
Blouses of satin and silk are also
making their way among the Very
sheer materials which are now being
used.
The tailored skirt with large pock
ets placed over the inverted pleats at
the sides is one of tpe newest modes
in separate skirts. The skirt is of
oyster-white tussur.
Tussur and Pongee Very Smart
Tussur and pongee have few rivals
among the materials for suits and
dresses. With splashes of bright col
ors in huge dots or, squares against a

white or -natural background, they
make the most fascinating sports
suits. The striped and dotted designs
are very striking and introduce an en
tirely new note. Some of the designs
are distinctly Oriental in effect. Silk
and wool jersey are other important
fabrics which in spite of having been
iii

used over and over again are still
counted among fashionable materials.

A nfiirlicea with aneel sleeves is
one of the latest offerings for the- wo
man who loves to be daintily and De
comingly attired in her boudoir. A
sketch is shown here. The negligee
is of crepe de Chine, with fine lace

BONE DRY BILL UP
Not a Vote Against it Expected from
State Senators '
special order of business
in the senate, this afternoon at 2
o'clock house bill 100, the bone dry
measure," will be read tor tne xniro
timo nnd considered. It was read for
the second time Tuesday afternoon
and referred to the committee on al
coholic liquors, and upon the motion
of Senator Eddy it was made a spe
cial order for today.
When the bill comes up lor nnai
nasaaca in the senate it will be more
stringent in its stipulations than
when it passed the house Monday, as
HBveral amendments have been made
by the committee of the Benate.
The section permitting iraiernaw
izntions to secure liquor has
been changed, but any priest, min
ister, church or religious congrega
tion has the right to secure liquor.
The five-day period of grace has been
changed so that dealers must receive
their orders before the law is signed
bv the erovernor. in order to be able
to ship liquors into the state.
If a citizen of the state sends an
order to a California liquor house or
Anv other distributor outside the
state, after the law becomes effect
ive, but before the five-day period has
expired the dealer cannot fill the or
der. He can, however, fill an order
received the day befor the law be
comes effective.
Another amendment eliminates
the $2 fee to be paid the county clerk
when the bond of a registered drug
gist permitting him to sell ethyl al
cohol is filled. Without debate or
comment these amendments were
adopted. It is believed that not a
single vote in the upper house will
be cast against the measure as it now
stands.
LOGAN
(Too late for regular page)
About a dozen from Logan
went to Salem to fight the division
animals from Mt. Hood county. They
flatter themselves that they have
helped to win a decision. The pro
posed county would be a boon to
some job hunters and possibly torsome
other dwellers in the little burg that
seeks county seat honors, but outside
of that the large end of the account
would be on the wrong side of the
ledger.
Most of the spuds are off on the
market now and the roads will get
a much needed rest from that quar
ter, but too late for the patient to
recover until good weather comes.
Boat knees and cord wood will still
go to the bottom of the soft places
and the beloved tax payers will con
tinue to cuss and vote down extra
road tax because Bill Jones is road
supervisor instead of John Smith.
