THE MORNIXfi OKEGOMAX, SEPTEMBER 1913. 1. AVJ - - II ROADS I0 SEA ND0H5ED AT MEET Enthusiasm Marks Sessions of Columbia Highway As sociation at Gearhart. HILL AND THATCHER SPEAK Special Election Advocated for Co lumbia to Act on Bond Isuc and Revival Meetings Are Planned In Territory. GEARHART. Or.. Aug. 31. (Special.) That there should be two highways from Portland to the sea instead of only one was the decision of delegates to the annual meeting of the Columbia Highway Association, which opened a two-day session here today. The two routes favored were the generally discussed one along the scenic Columbia River and the second to be known as the Nehalem Valley road. It was a gathering of enthusiastic good roads advlcates that met here today to map out definite plans for building a highway from Portland to the sea. Julius L. Meier, president of the association, was in the chair. Representatives from Multnomah. "Washington. Columbia and Clatsop counties were present and many of the delegates made brief addresses. Among those who made addresses were Samuel Hill, known as a good roads enthusiast, both in America and abroad; Colonel Charles W. Thatcher, who has been talking good roads in almost every state in the Union; Rufus C. Holman. of Portland; Edward C. Judd, County Judge of Clatsop; Judge W. A. Harris, of St. Helens; R. Yount. of Rainier; C. S. Dove, of Clatsop County; F. L. Parker, of Astoria; C. L. Conyer. of Clatskanie; Paul Wessinger. of Port land; George McGee, County Surveyor, of Hillsboro. and several others. Steering; Committee Named. On motion of Rufus Holman a steer ing committee was appointed. This committee was composed of Rufus C. Holman. Commissioner of Multnomah County; George McGee, County Sur veyor of 'Washington County: E. -C. JuJd, County Judge of Clatsop County; W. A. Harris, County Judge of Colum bia County, and Julius Meier, ex-of-ficio. The purpose of the committee will be to stir up Interest In the Port-land-to-the-Sea highway movement There was considerable discussion relative to the methods to be adopted by the various counties for raising money for the proposed improvements. It was nnally decided that the best plan would be to have each county adopt the county bonding plan. At the night session Sam Hill gave a lecture and displayed from a screen in the large dining-room of the hotel Gearhart pictures showing the bene ficial results of good highways. He offered statistics to show what the construction of good roads meant to a state and spoke of their influence on civilization. Good roads, he de clared, meant increased population and he spoke of one piece of road building in a sister state which had aided finan cially both the farmer and the con sumer. - Prompt Action t reed. In urging prompt action he empha sised the necessity of having a high way survey made at once. Mr. Hill es timated that the preliminary survey would cost $15,000 and advocated that 100 contribute $100 each "to set the movement going." "L-have written my name here to a piece of paper," said Mr. Hill, "and have pledged $150 to ward such a fund." Colonel Thatcher told of the work he has been doing over the country for good roads. He said he dressed pic turesquely to attract crowds to his meetings because crowds would re fuse to go to good roads talks, but would turn out to see a circus. Colonel Thatcher declared that, the movement which had brought the del egates together was one of most vital interest to the growth of the state and presented statistics to show what bad roads meant, not only to the farm ers' wagons, but to automobiles.. He declared bad roads were costing the owners of automobiles and farm wag on in the state several million dol lars in upkeep. A vote of thanks was tendered Colo nel Thatcher at the conclusion of his address. Revival Meeting Plaaord. One result of the first day's meet ing will be that of holding Beveral good roads revival meetings at vari ous places In Columbia County, at which local speakers. Julius Meier, Sam Hill and possibly Colonel thatcher will be present. The association has under consider ation also plans for having .Colonel Thatcher make a tour of the various counties through which the proposed highways will pass and explain the bond issue provisions to residents. Judge Harris, of St. Helens, aroused enthusiasm by making a report on Co lumbia County, which has shown a dis position to stand aloof from the high way movement. Judge Harris' report was that the County Court of Colum bia practically had agreed to present a bond issue to the people to be voted on in the Fall, the proceeds to be for Columbia's share in the highway work. Enthusiasm was aroused by the an nouncement that Columbia County, which has shown a disposition to stand aloof, would probably act on a bond Issue this Fall to pay Its share of the expense of the proposed highway. Robert Yount, of Rainier, announced that he would champion the call for a special election before the county board with assurance that favorable action would result. Attendance la l,ara;e.

V 4 .! .Try v . r a'. MANY BABIES ENTER Beauty Contest Abandoned at Clarke County Fair. EUGENICS PROVES POPULAR Prize Winners Will Be Pnt on Ex hibition, but Parents, not Ex pecting Award?, Are Anxious to Learn of Weak Points. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 31. (Special.) Among the many entries for the eugenics contest, to be held at the Clarke County Fair, on Thursday and Friday, of Fair week, are many promising Infants, and the winners of prizes must be of unusually high standard. Mrs. Victor H. Limber Is chairman of the executive committee and she is more than pleased with the number of entries received for the "Better Babies Contest." - Dr. Mary Madigan, baby expert or Portland, will have charge of the judging and she will be assisted by many local physicians, who will give their time to the good or the cause. It was first proposed to hold the eugenics contest one day, and a regu lar old-fashioned beauty contest me next, but the eugenics idea seems to have struck home in the minds of fond parents in the county and so many have entered their offspring in the contest that the beauty show has been abandoned. Many mothers and fathers will enter their children just to secure the meas urements and weight of the chtld, and learn of Its deficiencies and good points, with no idea of winning a prize. It is believed that the contest will be of great benefit and that It will stimu late more interest generally in the welfare of babies. - Many handsome prizes will be awarded, and the prize winners will be on exhibition so that the public may bo able to see the choicest stock of the human family to be found in Clarke County. The fair will be held from September 8 to 14. inclusive. UNCLE TOM RESURRECTED Old Story Shorn of Xone of Color Xor Melodramatic Properties.

The tavern and Eliza's escape the while Legree and Marks plot against her and as an exciting end of this act, her thrilling escape across the ice, pursued by two really and true bloodhounds. Through all the twlstings and turn ings of Eliza and George's troubles, and on into the well-known story ot Uncle Tom and his life in the home of St. Clair, his devotion to his little mistress. Miss Eva, her untimely and early death, the story unfolds events following one another In pleasing rapidity. The role of little Eva is played by . Baby Elizabeth, a dainty golden-haired child who sings and dances a bit. Topsy, another famous character, is excellently played by Mattie Francis. Aunt Ophelia is well cast In the person of Jennie Tresham. ST.

Reappearing in the pulpit of the White Temple, which he had occupied for some years before tfetnc called to Los Angeles, the Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher was greeted by great con gregations of his former parishioners and friends at both the morning ana evening services yesterday. Dr. Brougher's subject for his even Inir sermon was: "Can a 'Mall Be Good and Be Happy?" Dr. Brougher said. in part: "The only sin that bas power over a man is the sin that he loves. If a man is master of appetite and passion and desire, he can live in a world of sin, be good and be happy, and even have a lot of fun. "There is not much fun going to hell; there is lots of fun going to heaven. Some people are going to hell so fast they can't even see the scenery, but people who love clean things, pure things, and bright things, can master the propensities to evil and find their highest enjoyment in doing things that are good. ' "Men and women can be judged by their clothes. No modest woman would ever think of retaining a reputation for modesty and, at the same time, wear one of the modern X-ray "hobble skirts that have caused so much agi tation in our cities of late. No woman of the right sort of character would want such a skirt." APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE German Methodist Episcopal Con ference Closes.

TROOPS FINISH PRACTICE Regular Army Officers Are Satisfied With Work of Oregon Soldiers In Encampment Discipline and Sanitation Good. "The firing and drilling of the men in the Coast Artillery Reserves . was, greatly improved this year over last," said Colonel Creed C. Hammond, of that branch of the Oregon National Guard, on returning yesterday from the 10-day encampment and practice at Fort Stevens, Colonel Hammond expressed, himself as entirely satisfied with the show ing. Regular Army officers who act ed as instructors and judges ex pressed themselves similarly. This year's practice was the second that the corps has had, last year's being the first. In the big gun practice the Eighth Company, of Portland, showed the highest proficiency, with the Seventh, of Medford, a close second.' "The conduct and discipline of the men was good." said Colonel Ham mond. "The camp was well made and maintained, and the sanitation was so good that there was no sickness worth mentioning among the 450 men." The Eighth Company band of 32 nieces, bv special permission from Colonel Hammond, went to Seaside last night and gave a .concert, and will return to Portland today. 1 ne band was much improved this year over last,, and its playing was one of the features of the encampment.

There is no increasing demand for funds, but the. demana is uum cellent source, and. is just the kind of business to which the bankers are anxious to cater.

Before the end of December Is reached, a still greater activity in the bond market is anticipated, and the reason is obvious.

It is most encouraging how ever, to note tnat our nauram .e. lators are in almost every instance ready to receive the benefit of expert advice and criticism, and for that rea son the conference of banking leaders in Chicago last week may be regarded as a most significant factor in the fight for a better currency law. An erroneous impression has been held with regard to the attitude of the bankers toward the proposed currency legislation. It has not been one of - f hopn actuated bv selfish motives. The bankers have been quick to discover those provisions iu which, if not corrected or amended would usher in a condition of financial chaos, and our lawmakers will be un wise if they fail to benefit by the ex pert advice of the leading financiers of this country. The bankers have consistently con cerned themselves with improving various elements in the bill so far as they can. rather than with uttering general denunciations of the structure of the measure. This is equivalent to an admission that some bill of the same general character as that now proposed Is expected to pass Congress. NEARLY 8000 TO - MARCH (Continued From First Page.)

Hibernians From Cork, Baritone Singer and Ruzzl's Orchestra Declared Good Features. If vou have never seen a marlon ette show and even If you have you have a more than valid reason for seeing Mantell's Marionettes at the Oaks Amusement Park. The Mantells have revived an old time form of entertainment that is said to date back over 1000 years, but they present it with a novelty that is not apt to wane for a longe time. Their "set" shows the stage and proscenium arch of a miniature the ater, with the boxes and orchestra in full view. The occupants of the boxes applaud and the "orchestra" plays with vim the whole time. Oddly enough, the "orchestra leader" keeps perfect' time and might well be taking a cue from the Ruzzl Orchestra, which plays the real music for the act. Some thing like 22 numbers are in the Mantell programme and a fui; vaudeville programme is run. Con., tinued applause greeted the marion ettes who sang, danced, did acrobatic work, slapstick comedy and trans formation acts. They were so real as to seem miniature human beings. Kelly and Mack, two unquestionable Hibernians from County Cork, provid ed unlimited comedy in , "Mulcahy's Mishaps." Kelly and Mack were the stars in the Eastern success, "McFad den's Row of Flats." From the "River Shannon" to the Irish "bulls" the act Is full of ginger of a Celtic kind that certainly found favor yesterday. "Tiney" Snyder, the baritone, did not fail to make a hit with his full, round voice and Ali Zada, the Oriental won- Skcray!

MOORE, of the rortland Ad Club; William McMurray. little Charlie Berg, Harvey O'Brien, Edwards, Higgins, Scott and a host of other Ad Club men, not for getting Grand President Woodhead, were all plainly seen yesterday on the screen at the People's Theater. The camera man caught them all last Wed nesday at the luncheon at the Portland Hotel given in honor of the grand pres ident. Another Interesting local subject was the attempt to trim the toe nails of the big lion at the Park Zoo. In addition to these purely local films there were two big dramas and three comedies, all of which were above the average in at tractiveness. The management, how ever, made another bid for public fa vor by the introduction of two new and brilliant singers. Herr Ernest Moeller, a new baritone, made a splen did impression, and Miss Alice Rooney, a mezzo-soprano, sang a number of clever and up-to-date melodies with a never-failing, justly-earned encore. The Star Theater opened for the first time here "The Fatal Grotto," a spe cial three-part feature. It proved to be most thrilling in plot and treat ment and still further enhances the Star's reputation. Two other big thinga and Miss Inez de Costcllo, a local favor ite, made up a very strong entertain ment. The Arcade Theater -offered flva splendid subjects and a real classy vocalist. Among the best of the films were "The Call," a drama of striking power and with a climax that absolute ly gripped the heart. The "Frontier Twins" In a romantic comedy, added a quaint flavor. "Renunciation" told of a man who lost his heart's love because he could not turn aside from the path of official duty. Binks, the funny man, made people laugh by his peculiar an- tics. HI Mayer pleased with his bril liant and mysterious cartoons. Miss Maude Janice, a new singor, met with a fine reception and won recognition for able and magnetic work. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was the attrac tion at the Sunnyside Theater and af forded much delight to both old and young. Tlfe Tivoli and Crystal all had brand now shows. Columbia. LONG FELLOW'S beautiful poem "Tha Blind Girl of Castle Gullle," Is) reproduced In a Patheplay on the bill opening yesterday at the Columbia" Theater.

Matt Dennis sings some forgotten songs which make a big hit and Karp'B or- , chestra presents an entertaining pro- . t Globe. 4 '4 Maid of Mandalay," with Maii t rice Costello, at the Globe, is one of the best pictures seen for some, time. Costtllo Is at his best and the ( story and scenes are excellent. "Bro ken Heads United," also is a film of. merit, teaching a good lesson. "The Straight and Narrow Path" is another pleasing nim. An exhibition of horsemanship is ex citing and the Jumping and dancing of 36 horses is worth seeing, especially where they run abreast and jump a hurdle as with one movement. The comedies are good and received hearty laughter. The Tivoli Trio scored a success In their lirst appearance. Their voices are good and blend splendidly. Same ' bill at the Globe today and tomorrow. American Conductor Killed. SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nic, Aug. 31.
