Governor West. State Superintendent of Instruction Alderman and J. W. Shore, representing the Commercial Club of Vancouver. Wash., were tho speakera at last night's meeting of the Kast Side Business Men's Club and the United East Side Improvement Asso ciation. In the East Side Library. Gov ernor West passed almost all his time in ahowlng stereopticon views of what the convicts have done In Improving the state Institutions and grounds at Salem, and In advocating his prison policy. State Superintendent Alderman de plored the fact that 204 carloads of eggs were shipped Into Portland last year, with scores of carloads of dressed poultry, these coming from without the state. "In spite of that." he remarked, "one of Oregon's hens held the record last year for egg production. He said It is time the boys and girls of the state are given something to do, that work can be made a real pleasure, and It Is Just as much fun to grow watermelons and muakmelons as to tag one tree and run two blocks to tag an other one. Tvo-9tae Bridge Favored. Mr. Shore advocated a bridge across the Columbia River, to form a con necting link between tho Pacific high way in Washington and tha Pacific highway In Oregon. Ho said tha com mercial bodies of Washington have taken It up. and are working hard for It. He told also of tho half-mill levy In Washington for the Pacific high way, saying the taxpayers In that state "don't feel It." Among the views shown by the Gov ernor were Illustrations of the asylum, the asylum farm, model dairy farm, home for tho feeble-minded, convicts at work with mule teams, model chicken-houses, mute school, barn and silo, blind school, tuberculosis sanitarium, penitentiary and grounds, hoghouse. brickyard, convict camps and rock crushers and a few of the roads near Salem built by convict labor. Dan Kellaher was chairman of tha evening, nit introduced the Governor, who eulogized Mr. Kellaher. aaylng he had known many politicians, crooked and straight, and that Dan Kellaher waa one of the straight ones. "We didn't always agree." continued the Governor, "when he was in the Legislature, but we usually put aside our differences until we had the other fellow whipped, and then went Into my office, and to reconcile our own differences, not letting the other fel low know anything about It. Modera Methods Tried. Showing a view of the receiving hos pital for the Insane the Governor said that stralghtjackets and cages were nsed formerly, out mat tepia dih, i which patients are kept for days at a time, and colored rooms, are now used to bring some to sanity. He spoke of the wisdom he exercised In purchasing 700 arres of land at 132. 50 an acre for the feeble-minded Institution. When views of convicts at work with mule teams, clearing this land, and of others laying tile were shown, he said: "I personally borrowed the mules for the state to get this land cleared. I borrowed 40 head of mules and six horses. Then I put a horse-thief be hind each team snd went at It. We are turning fine beaverdam land Into productive fields. I used to hunt on this property when I was a young man I am an old one now. 'The auperlntendent told me when I bought the property It would take four years to clear the land. I told him If It wasn't cleared In a year he would lose his Job. I sent him a dozen con victs, all the horses he wanted, and we saved enough out of the appropriations to buy the tile needed to drain It. It Is being plowed now. and will be In crops thla seaaon. The clearing didn't cost the state a dollar." ' Few loo State Hospital. "The tuberculosis hospital Is not well patronised." he said, "because few of tlio poor of the state know of the In stitution and of the benefit it would be to trm. The penniless man can receive good treatment hers Just aa good or better than can the rich man In any Institution he may visit. We have the best of nurses and equip ment. Hundreds of men are In their homea throughout tha state, suffering from this disease, who ought to be In this hospital. The newspapers of tha state ought to take up the subject. One view showed a cracksman plac ing the fuse for a blast at tha rock quarry, and another showed the audi torium at the penitentiary, with tha tags. "Chick Houghton painted most of the scenery." said tha Governor. "I can promise you tonight tha taxea will not be as high next year as this." continued the Oovernor. "Unless I have figured wrong, they will ba about half what they are this year. Under ordinary circumstances I would be opposed to the issue of bonds. But In the case of a bond Issue for good roads. It Is a ben efit, because some districts are spsrse- Exquisite Loveliness of Hair and Skin (Annie BIy In The Realm.) "The exquisite loveliness of English girls' complexions can be gained by American women who take the same care. Instead of powder and paint, use a simple lotion made at home by dis solving an original package of mays tons In a half pint of witch hazel. Ap ply In morning, rubbing gently, and your complexion will be as clear, soft and satiny as a baby's with no dark or muddy discoloration". "Abundant and glossy hair follows continued dry shampooing.

Put a cupful of cornmeal In a fruit Jar. add an original package of therox, shake together and yon have a six months' supply of sham poo powder. Sprinkle a little on the head and brush out well. Do this every week or two and your hair will ba bright, fine and wavy. Don't neglect a cold. Toil must ba well to look your best. Remember, colds lead to chronic catarrh.

SALEM. Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) Declaring that the State Board will see that the people of Oregon pay only one-half of the amount of taxes next year that they are required to pay this year. Governor West, at a Country Life banquet given by the Salem Board of Trade this noon, spoke In defense of the good road measures advocated by him and his committee. "The Attorney-General has criticised theso bills." said the Governor, "but wtth that criticism he should come through with a better bill. I Intend to keep agitating for road Improvement for the rest of my term, and the only way my mouth will be shut is by providing satisfactory legislation. I would rather build 20 miles of good roads than to ge to the United States Senate." Other speakers were: President Kerr, of the Oregon Agricultural College; E. J. Bulgin. C. N. Roberts. B. J. Miles. Charles Hoeg. of Portland; W. H. Downing, John II. Albert and L. M. Gil bert.
