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.

TakltiK Over Collector Duties Held
Only Matter of Routine Staff
I. lady to Remain Intact.
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."

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.

Alice Hester, candidates of the Trades
School end Lincoln High School, ap
pear to have the best opportunity of

Portland: admission to be charged
will be but 5 cents, making it possible
for every pupil of the public schools of
Portland to enable themselves to take
advantage of this reduction of admis
sion. 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.
