be extensively entertained by Portland
friends during their stay. '
Mrs. Lyons was Miss Bettlna Wil
liams, of Akron. Ohio, and a niece
of the late Tom L, Johnson. ex-Mayor
of Cleveland.
-Billy- Lyons ts one of the well
known members of the Speer faction
of Colorado Democratic politics. His
chief. -Mayor Bob." Is Just now in the
m'ddle of the fight for the United
Suites Senatorshlp from that state,
balloting having been going on for sev
eral months. Nothing short of a honey
moon would Induce Mr. Lyons to leave
Dsnver at this time.
-I hope and believe that Mayor Ppeer
eventually will win the Senatorshlp."
said Mr. L ons last night. The facts
are that the Democrats apear to be
hopelessly divided between the leader
ship of Editor Patterson and Governor
Ehafroth on one side and Speer on the
other. Speer has tbe state organisa
tion, bat Patterson has an individual
following that he controls."
Mr. and Mrs. Lyons have been along

S1GHEL AFTER LEASERS
KEXTALi OF STREETS IXST
STOP. SAYS COMMISSIONER.
Xewaboy Pays Hotel Company $10
for Privilege of Pavement In
Front of Uoatelrj.
Determination to put a stop to the
practice of downtown leaseholders of
selling the publto streets In front of
their premises, is announced by Police
Commissioner fcichol. If be csn find any
method of proceeding. The Commis
sioner Is moved to action by the con
stant complaint being made to him by
persons who have paid leaseholders for
the privilege of standing In front of
their places and then bare been forced
to move on.
No Institution is too large, says the
Commissioner, to sell the pavement In
front of Its plsce to another, however I
small. He cited one Instance coming
to his attention. In which a newsboy
paid a prominent hotel company 110 a
month for the privilege of selling news
paper In front of Its building. Thi
trafflo Includes automobiles, expreas
men, peddlers and even blind musicians.
be says.
Mr Slchel takes the view that while
a property owner may give or refuse
his consent to these persona remaining
la front of bis place of business, h
cannot take money for the- right to
use the public street. He Is supported
by a recent statement from the office
of the District Attorney, that In taking
money for a privilege that does not be
long to them the merchants are guilty
of larceny by bailee. It la probable that
a teat esse will be made.

era crop may be amply demonstrated.
In a current announcement on this sub

In an endeavor to prove to the world
that this section Is the leading grain
producer of the world.
In a special appeal to Oregon, he says
'Central Oregon won 18 firsts In the
151D Dry Farming Congress and should
be a strong factor in all the grain prizes.
Tillman Router showed what Central
Oregon can do In world competition by

PASTOR TOJTALK ON VICE
Dr. Trimble Will Not Go Slumming,
However, for Evidence.
Rev. Delmar H. Trimble, pastor of
Centenary Methodist Church, who re
cently commented In his pulpit on the
moral situation In Portland, said yes
terday that he would give a compre
hensive review of condition a week
from Sunday night, and that the Dis
trict Attorney. Chief of Police. Mayor
and other city officials would be wel
come. Dr. Trimble said that whether or not
the District Attorney and the police
were formerly In accord, they ar not
o now. and that he was Inclined to In
dorse th contention of th District At
torney that th Chief of Police should
bring evidence of violations of law.
W cannot hope for enforcement oi
law and suppression of vice." said Dr.
Trimble, "under th present condi
tions, when there is no co-operation
between the District Attorney's offlc
and th Chief of Police, These officials
were elected to enforce the law but
they are not. or bav not been, doing It
There should be co-operation between
ti.e Chief of Police, the Mayor and the
District Attorney In law enforcement.
I shall' deal with this question fully.
Unless we agitate these questions, tbe
situation will drift back where It was
before the Chief of Pollc got busy.

of law enforcement, as waa recognized
and urged by ex-President Roosevelt.

The Reo is "All There"
Whatever test you apply to the Reo,
you find it "all there". It has all the
qualities you want in a motor-car.
Hill-Climbing
You want 'a car that ,will take grades
without much let-up of speed, and the
best test of that is mountain-climbing!
The Reo (the same car, by the way, that
went from New York to San Francisco in
xoi days) climbed to the top of Mt.
Hamilton in' California-- a distance of
2Y miles' ;in 65 minutes, beating the
former, world's record by 10 minutes.
Racing
You may not want to go over sandy
roads at 52 miles an hour; but you do
want a car with the power and ability
that this speed implies.
On Oct 15, .1910, the Reo raced over a
very sandy " 50-mile road with a higher
priced car well known for its racing record
and beat -it by more than 10 miles. Reo
time, 57 minutes 43 seconds. .
Endurance and
Reliability
You don't want to turn your pleasure
jaunts into testsof endurance ; but you
want proof that your car will stand more
strain than you will ever put it to.
In the New York1 to Atlanta run of
. 1 9 10, the Reo finished in perfect condition
and challenged every other car, regardless
of price, to a technical examination. There
were no " takers
In August, 1910, the Reo went from
New York to San Francisco in 10 days
15 hours 13 minutes, without a wrench
being touched to its engine.
Comfort
Apply that test yourself. Let us take
you out in a Reo, over any kind of road
you choose.

not remain covered up and the people
will know about them."

Oil IN OREGON
YOU havo no doubt of it.
It will be found in commercial quantities in several different parts
of the state.
YOU have no doubt of this.
Nearly a round dozen local syndicates in different parts of the state
are drillinfj and you can not get an Oil Well without drilling. Some
of these wells will be successful beyond any reasonable doubt maybe
all of them, and this year, too.
YOU believe this.
Every well being drilled has a good foundation as a starter neces
sary geological formation, surface oil, etc.
The Pacific Coast fields have made good when drilled sufficiently.
It takes more than the smoke from a corncob pipe to develop an oil
field. It takes actual and intelligent -drilling.
