FORD j At the Portland 1 I Theaters 1 Last Car Leaves for Oregon City) At Midnight. THE INTERNATIONAL "BEN-HUR" j To Be Staged In Portland. All the Oriental splendor of the In dian Durbar which King George V of England journeyed to Delhi in India to take part in, will be brought to the doors of Portland in Klaw & Er lander's elaborate new production of "Ben-Hur," which inaugurates an en gagement of one week at The Heilig Theatre Januay 27. Never before in the history of the stage has there been so much wealth expended on the presentation of a historical spec tacle. Flashing jewels, dazzling ar mor, magnificent robes, superb drap eries, the marvelous rugs of the far East,, the costly furnishings of two thousand years ago all these- things are combined and displayed in the wonderful revival. Klaw & Erlander, the owners of this most wonderful piece of theatrical property, have giv en it a production which in magnitude and spectacular grandeur eclipses any production shown up to date on the American stage or in the theatre of any other country. The magnitude of the scenic settings is of such a nature that there are only a few thea tres with stages large enough to acca modate the equipment. Carpenters, electricians and a horde of other work ers are now in ppssession of the Hei lig stage, getting ready for this pro duction, and when the curtain does rise on the solemn and beautiful scene in the desert where the Wise Men are waiting for the signal, the Star of Bethlehem, to point them the way to the Messiah, the spectator will view the spectacular achievement of American stagecraft. Klaw & Er lander taxed the enormous resources of their theatrical plant in every de partment 'in building this new equip ment. Their scenic artists and cos turners, their engineers and elecri' cians worked for one solid year in combination and under the direction of artists and historians, antiquarians and scholars, to accomplish the seem ingly impossible the effacement of former memories of "Ben-Hur" pro ductions. With this new spectacle they have built for themselves a monument as enduring as the name of Shakespeare in the glories and beauties of the new setting for the greatest story the world has ever known, "The Tale of the Christ." During the "Ben-Hur" season at the Heilig Theatre, matinees are sched uled for Wednesday and Saturday. ADVERTISING J TALKS.NO. 12 I S33SSS83$JS8$ (By Ralph Kaye.) We have thus far taken up "the moral side of advertising. Before we get down to specific cases let .. us work out imaginary advertisements, finding the real selling points -and the best way to present them. The best way to advertise is to pick: cer tain lines of business and ascertain why people whould patronize them. I want the reader to understand that because any one talk does not treat of his particular business the article is of no interest to him. Even if you are in the clothing business and we are discussing shoes the prin ciple is the same. The main object is to sell the goods irrespective of what they are. . And if a certain method sells shoes you should be able to find some suggestion in that method that would lead to an idea to sell clothing and vice versa. Will you cooperate with me to the extent of giving your ideas in the matter? v You know (as every business man knows) that by thinking over and citicizing, the subject should be whip ped into shape. On this present series I would like every reader to write his views of each subject taken up to me in care of the paper in which Talks appear. The publishers will forward it to me and in future articles I will bring out giving credit to every communi cation quoted.

JESS WILLARD NOWIN LINE Giant Pugilist Next Logical Op ponent of Luther M'Carty. WOULD DECIDE THE TITLE. Winner of Battle Would Be Undisput ed Wearer of White - Heavyweight Crown Once Handed Beating to McCarty. , It is highly probable that Luther McCarty will find it convenient to side track the few remaining "hopes" who threaten bis reigu until he has finished a theatrical tour such as invariably follows a notable success ju the ring The elimination of Al Paizer iu such decisive fashion makes the newly cre ated champion's future look exceed ingly bright. But there still remains some work for him. to do before he can feel himself securely seated on the white heavyweight throne. That McCarty can justly claim to.be the holder' of the new title despite his possession of the McCarty belt will' be disputed in some quarters. Most of this opposition will come from Gun boat Smith. Bombardier Wells and Jess Willard. ' Of these the six foot six inch form of Willard looms up the most menacing of all. It can be argued that Wells was eliminated when be lost to Paizer. Smith, although a terrific hit ter, is not much of a boxer .and besides is badly handicapped, in the matter of weight But Willard's right to the next match with Palzer's conqueror cannot be argued away. Willard and McCarty have already crossed arms, and tbe result was not altogether favorable to McCarty. In faet, during tbe last two rounds of their ten round bout McCarty looked to be all primed for a knockout. He was badly cut up while Willard escap ed without a mark. After that affair many of the New York critics, could see no hope for McCarty and put him down as a greatly overrated fighter. If the bout had ten more rounds to go Wil lard would have been a ten to one fa vorite with no takers. But McCarty has since shown great improvement. Still. Willard also has learned a lot since then. Williard is a very mysterious person. The exact extent of his ability is still very uncertain. Even his closest friends do not understand him. -'A queer fel low a very queer fellow." was Charlie Cutler's comment while discussing Wil liard just prior to tbe Iatter's bout with "Soldier" Kearns. whom he knocked out In eight rounds. Cutler is the wrestler-pugilist who helps Williiird train and assists in making his match es. Many shrewd managers have made overtures to Williard. He will have none of them. When in action Williard shows him self in need of a firm hand at the heliu. His ill timed attempts at humor and general lack - of concentration on the work at hand during the Kearns bout caused many to ridicule him as a cham pionship possibility. - Yet there were moments in that affair when Williard showed flashes of form no other white hope has yet equaled. His faults-are all minor ones. He has none that can not be easily remedied. The most no ticeable one is lack of aggressiveness. Williard is a careful boxer, and in a long fight his methods are most likely to get good results. He seldom leads, and he forces his opponent to do all the hard work while he himself conserves his energy. His counters are both forceful and usually well timed. Wheu he feels in need of a rest he simply leans back, and in this position bis great height protects his towering head from all assaults. In a long battle this unique method of obtaining a needed rest would be of immense advantage. During his bout with McCarty the latter was complete ly mystified whenever WUliard assum ed this position.- Despite his frantic rushes. McCarty's swings and jabs fell short. While resting in this manner Williard presents the appearance of a badly tired fighter. It is just at these times that he is most dangerous. As his opponent rush es in. deceived into thinking Williard has shot his bolt, he meets with -a stun ning surprise. Williard's lax muscles suddenly tighten up and his long lean arms flash out in a storm of hooks and uppercuts. Although -at long range Williard often misses, he is very accu rate in the mixups at close quarters. Altogether he is a formidable oppo nent, and if McCarty adds him to his list of victims the cow puncher can be safely put down as a genuine cham pion CORRESPONDENCE MACKSBURG. On the morning of Saturday, Jan. 18th, the people of Macksburg and vi cinity awoke to find that twelve inches of snow had fallen during the night. Thanks to the absence of bright sun shine, however, it is disappearing gradually and there is no danger of a washout. Through all the trouble caused by flooded roads we are cheer ed by signs that Winter is in his de cline. Many trees are putting out their leaf buds and the birds are in vast numbers, returning from the South. More than a week ago the quail and the meadowlark made their appearance and those true harbingers of Spring, the robins, have come. The children are watching and feeding the hungry visitors for they can get noth ing for themselves in this snow. Ranchmen are gladdened by the promise of a fruitful years, as the history of this rgion has invariably recorded such a result from the en richment of the soil and protection of the growing roots by copious snow. Grubbing has stopped for the pres ent but much cleared land greets the eye where at this time in 1912 only wild jungles were to be seen. Geo. Koch and his son Ed have been grubbing the few acres of un cleared land left on their ranch. Mr. and Mrs. Gansky have return ed from their long visit to their sons in Dakota.

The names of pupils in the Macks burg school who have been neither absent nor tardy in the month of January will appear in next week's issue of the Enterprise. MULINO. This vicinity was visited by the heaviest snow storm of the season on Friday night, the snow being about nine inches deep on the level Satur day morning, and the telephone lines are in a terrible tangle, the weight of the wet snow breaking the wires and several of the poles have fallen putting the telephone service entirely out of commission. It will take days to repair the damage. Louie Farr was out from Oregon City Sunday looking after his sheep on the Ashby place and engaged Lew is Churchill to look after them during the snow storm which from the pres ent outlook may be several days. Mrs. Godfrey, of Oregon City, is spending several days visiting with Mrs. Berdine of this place. The sixteen month's old child of Ora Davis died last Friday.

Ida Berdine left Sunday afternoon to take the position of teacher at dis trict 101 school, commencing Monday, morning. MARQUAM. Snow, snow, that beautiful snow. On Friday morning of the 17th the people of Marquam awoke to find the ground covered with snow to the depth of 8 inches which has done a great deal of damage to fruit trees, also put all of the phones out of com mission. . There is not a wire lead ing out of Marquam which is not broke from 10 to 25 place, also a great many poles are down which will re quire a great deal of work to put in order again. At this writing the snow is melting with a south wind. All. kinds of sleighs were in order hers Sunday, even down to a goods box. Mrs. Cathrine Jones, better known as Aunt Katie, is dangerously sick from, a paralytic stroke, and her many friends are in doubt of her recovery. Several of her children are at her bedside. The basket social which was to be held last Saturday night, given by the Marine Band was postponed in definitely. Mr. J. H. Bolden had another auc tion sale last Saturday. 'On account of the weather there were but a few out. J. C. Marquam, the chicken fancier sent some fine Plymouth Rocks to Salem last week to the chicken show. NORTH LOGAN. Steve Sager of Portland is visiting his sister, Mrs. J. B. Cumins on the banks of the Clackamas river. Mr. Christiansen started to town Monday morning and was stopped by little trees which had fallen across the road during the snow storm. Af ter considerable chopping"he proceed ed on his way. Gus Neskey, a laborer in a sawmill near Barton, moved his household goods frotn Cumins mill across the river to the new mill at Barton where he expects to keep house again. A surprise party vwas given last Saturday night at "the home of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Stone "of Barton. MOLALLA. On the night of the 17th inst.-ll inches of the very wettest kind of snow fell, which clung to everything it touched with a tenacious grip, breaking down trees that no winter'p wind had been able to do. Telephone wires are down and much damage has been done to fruit trees by breaking and uprooting. Now Oregon City may choose which she will have, filtered medicated sewer water tanked up from the filthy Willamette River with now and then a 1,000,000 bunch of bacteria escaping the "drive," and maddened by the process, go seeking whom they may attact in the innocent user of the hypocritical (pretending to be pure) water, in a typhoid seige, or Oregon City may come forth in her usual up-to-dateness in other matters and appropriate nature's filtered pro duct of pure water, which awaits in abundance close by, to quench the thirst of humanity. The question has been asked: "Why continue to ues the old filter with all of uncertainty and liability to contamination, by an nexing a $1,000 medicated intake exten sion farther in the filthy sewer?" The answer appears: "Because somebody wants to continue on the old job in the old rut." WILSONVILLE, The basket, ball game on Saturday evening was another triumph for the Wilsonville club, the score being 32 to 8 for the village boys. The game was an interesting one and the Brooklyn team of Lents was the vis iting team. The, snow storm which began on Friday, has been a fierce one, knock ing down trees, telephone wires, etc , until communication with the outer world has been cut off, even with near neighbors.
