SixtAi "Mon-lsot Aid- Sta. - 18 PORTLAND VISITOR WATER' POWER IS STUDIED Secretary or Agriculture Seeks In formation About Possibilities for development Graxlng Question Considered. To gain first-hand knowledge of the potential water-power in the National forests. tavld F. Houston, United .States Secretary of Agriculture. Is traveling through Oregron and Wash ington. He visited Portland yesterday morning', but as Portland is not in cluded within the boundaries o any forest reserve he didn't linger long. In fact, Mr. Houston didn't even leave the terminal district, where he arrived over the Southern Pacific at 7:20 o'clock and whence he departed over the North Bank at 9:55 o'clock. "No. I don't think we are planning any new policy regarding either the forests or the water-power in the for ests," said Secretary Houston. Direct Touch Is Sought. "We are trying to conduct the busi ness of the forestry bureau in a business-like manner, and that's the prin cipal reason I am out here. It's hard to know what the business of my De partment consists of if I merely stay in Washington and don't get in direct touch with the outside country. That's what I want out here the direct touch." Incidentally, Mr. Houston revealed that he is a man of dual personality. This, in light of his previous visit to Portland a little more than a year ago. On that former occasion he was trav eling with MMlllam C5, McAdoo. Secre tary of the Treasury, and the Beau Brummel of the Cabinet. Mr. Houston appeared as a sleek, well-groomed, highly-polished and cultured college president, whii'h he was before he be came a Cabinet minister. On that oc casion, too. he appeared at the Com mercial Club in a full-dress suit. Secretary Resembles Farmer. But yesterday Secretary Houston re sembled nothing so much as a pros perous farmer or a foreman of a log ging camp. He was dressed in a pre viously abandoned suit of mud-bespattered clothing, a pair of high topped lace shoes and an old brown hat. much frayed from wear, and had a three days' growth of whiskers, gained while on a cruise through the timbered lands of Western Oregon. In the last five or six weeks Mr. Houston has Inspected a large propor tion of the forest area in the Federal reserves and has come into close con tact with the rangers and the men actually in the service. "I have learned more about the for estry service in these few weeks," he said, "than I could learn In as many years by remaining back in the Cap ital." The only person traveling with Mr. Houston is A. F. Potter, associate forester at Washington. George H. Cecil, of Portland, district forester in charge of the work in Oregon, Wash ington and Alaska, is conducting the pair through the reserves in his juris diction. Mount Rainier Forest Visited. They went east on the North Bank to Stevenson, where they took a stage into the Mount Rainier National For est, where they remained last night. They will remain in the same district today.. The Secretary then will go to Spokane and may proceed directly from that city to the Fast. "I have been away from Washington so long that I don't know anything about the war situation, and much less about politics." said Secretary Houston. His main object in visiting the for ests, it was explained, is to learn more about fie possibilities of water-power development. The Government has un der consideration various plans for throwing the streams In the forests open for public utilization. The grazing question also Is receiv ing some attention, but is held in sec ondary importance. 11 few ...... '-'i f - -J I I Cy J . If x . - ,V;;J . -v s , . -1 v - v - TAX WORK TO BE SAME Mil.

When Sheriff Hurlburt formally be comes Tax Collector of Multnomah County on Saturday, there will be no demonstration and probably no change in the even tenor or the tax depart' merit's routine to indicate that the management of the department has been transferred. Sheriff Hurlburt indicated yesterday that he would make no changes in the personnel of the staff employed in this department. lie did not make this statement positively, but he did say that he contemplated no changes. The department probably will remain under the supervision of K. S. Huckabay, who has had charge under County Treasurer lewls. The change is the result of a law passed by the recent Legislature trans ferring the duty of collecting the taxes front the County Treasurer to the Sheriff. This was done in response to a general complaint that the tax de partments had to be managed under two heads, as heretofore the Treasurer col lected ordinary taxes and the Sheriff was collector of delinquent taxes. "I have not conferred with Mr. Lewis as yet about the change." said Mr. Hurlburt yesterday. "X do not antici pate any difficulty In making the change, and in fact I do not think the transfer will be felt by anyone. The transfer will take place when the- law goes into effect and that's about all. "I realize there is a great deal of responsibility attached to these new du ties, but Mr. Lewis, I believe, has an efficient department, and I donot think the transfer of titles will mean any thing but a routine ceremony."

M. Ballots must be cast at the headquarters, at 336 Northwest ern Bank building, before the ex piration date indicated upon the coupons. Marian Rose Spoeri, candidate of the Ad and Rotary Clubs for queen of the Rose Festival, made the most marked gain in the voting yesterday and cut down her chief opponent's lead about 30,000, while at the same time she in creased her lead over the next com petitor below her on the list. Sybil Baker, candidate of the Wood men of the World, who holds first place, received 86.600 votes yesterday, while Miss Spoeri received 117,560. Miss Baker's lead yesterday morning was 71,000 and on the final count last night it was cut down to 41,790. Miss Spoeri, on the othe hand, was 64,080 in the lead of Miss Alice Nolan, candidate of the Northwestern Electric Company, yesterday morning, and dur ing the day she Increased this lead to 120,280, or nearly double. Miss Nolan, In turn, increased her lead over Miss Beatrice. Lash, candidate of the Progressive Business Men's Club, from 60.450 to 75,440. Miss Susie ScholeK. candidate of the Moose, is creeping daily closer to Miss Ruth Angel, candidate of the Modern Woodmen, and It appeals that at al most any time they may change their relative positions in the contest. From an analysis of the day's vot ing yesterday several predictions were made that Miss Spoeri will reach first place by Saturday and will hold It until the close of the contest. It was also predicted that Miss Nolan would win second place, for her daily ballot has been gaining steadily since the dropping out of several candidates gave fresh support to her. Miss Baker's ' supporters, on the other hand, have Just organized a new campaign and Us effects may not be gin to be felt until today. In view of this fact they believe that their candi date may be able to hold her postion In the lead throughout the voting.

This picture, as Portland people may remember, is the one picture chosen from some 60 odd subjects to open the Schuberts" world famous Hippodrome Theater in New York City, where it played to 138,000 people in nine days. The picture has had a wonderful run in Portland and continues to draw more than its share of the theater goers and movie fans at each perform ance. The picture itself is one of the most widely discussed attempts in the film world. Director Brennon, -of the Tif fany Films Corporation gives a few facts concerning the early days of staging this gigantic production. More than S000 tons of powder were used for the battle scenes. The entire state militia of California was used, together with practically all of its armament. Five hundred head of horses were used to give the tone of reality.
