Judging from the opening tide of travel to Portland for Buyers' Week. Jlr Uenrce is pretty nearly correct In his statements, and. according to all appearances, retailers from all over the Pacific Northwest are rambling Into Portland: not. however, with their eyes shut, but with them wide open to ex amine the stocks that the great whole ante house of this city have to offer them.

BIG SAVING PREDICTED Grant r Full Authority and Care ful Selection for Right 3lan Is Declared Essential to Suc cess of Swsgeted Method. Th plan of 8. Benson to appoint a city manager and handle th affairs of th municipality in th sam efficient manner that private affair ar con ducted, in the belief that it would save th city hundreds of thousand of dollars, meets with the approval of many of the representative business men of th city. ' While it Is recognised that som dif ficulty Ilea In th way of reorganising the city government lata th -business manager" form. It ia tho generally ex pressed opinion that such a system would b as great an advance over the commission form of government, as the commission form Is held to be over the old aldermanle form. -If th laws could be so changed, say A. H. Dvr. -and tho charter so rearranged that w could Install a city manager, who wouldn't have to be subjected to an elaborate system of check and counter-checks, a I the case In all present forms of city and county government and which would hamper him Immeasurably in bis work. I believe that the plan would be a good on. Plaa Theaght Cd Oae. "There la no question that If th right man war placed In charge he would save th city a great deal of money and administer a far mors efficient government than w can hope for un der ny other form. "It is possible to change the char ter and the laws to provide for the operation of th city government with central authority and central responsi bility as a private business is operated and I believe that this system would be found to be a great improvement if it could be adopted." C. C Colt, president of the Chamber of Commerce, expressed a similar opin ion about th Benson plan. -I see that Mr. Benson did me the 1 1 . .

It would be naturally a matter of getting the right man for the place after the system had been reorganised, but with the right sort of man In office It would prove moat effective. Fall Anthority Favored. -The commission form of government which is a decided advance in munici pal systems of government, depends primarily upon the sort of man pro cured for the place and this would be true of any other system. -I believe, however, that responsibil ity for governmental administration should be placed In s few hands as possible, and eliminating as far as possible the checks that hamper a. man in performance of his work. . John Yeon's success ss roadmaster wss due largely to the liberty of action that was given him, as well as to his nat ural ability. "It is the same way In city govern ment. If the management of affairs were placed in the bands ft one man of recognised ability, with as few strings as possible on htm to hamper his action. I believe the results would be Ideal In efficiency and economy." . Veteran to Have Bxcnrslon. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. . (Spe cial.) The members of General Jo Wheeler Camp.

If new stS'les. with a piquant touch strange to Portland eyes, have at tracted attention on city streets for the past few days, it has not meant that staid Portland has fallen under the spell of Dame Fashion In her most extravagant mood. The explanation Is found In the presence of chorus girls of Al Jolson's company, fresh from a four weeks' vacation tour of the Cal ifornia fairs, but with sll the new wrinkles In metropolitan styles direct from little ol N" Yawk.

Slater and Nleee Have Harrowing Ei- . perlence Wfeen Germans Bombard Dnnklrk Xepaew Is at Front. Charles Marias, 574 East Ash street, resident of Portland for years since leaving France, yesterday was re lieved, through letters, of an anxiety of months over the safety of his sister and her son and daughter who were lost sight of after the first bombard ment of Dunkirk In April. The letters contained enclosures and showed the son to be with his regiment on the firing line, while the mother and daughter are safe in Paris. Mr. Marias' niece, Vlctorine Marias, was on the streets of Dunkirk when, in April, the Germans first began dropping . bombs into the city from their positions nine miles distant. She was struck by a fragment of flying cement and rendered unconscious for hours. Upon recovery, she took her aged mother and boarded a refugee train for Paris, the brother, Charles Marias, being already on the firing line. On June 16. the letter reads, a com munication was received from Charles Marias at the front saying that his regiment, the Eighth Territorial, had had hard fighting, and that the few who were left of their number would recuperate for a week at Dunkirk. Arrangements had been made for his mother and sister to return tempo rarily to their deserted home and spend the time In reunion. Vlctorine and her aged mother arrived In Dun kirk on June 21 only to find them selves alone and helpless in a city of the wildest -distraction, due to the Germans having suddenly resumed bombardment. The brother and his regiment had returned hurriedly to their positions in the trenches. As the r o.-ino- vi- torine Jed her mother to their former home, where the two took sneuer in the basement. Here, for nearly 30 hours, without water or food, the mother, aged 70, and the daughter, aged 19.' watched and waited alone while the explosions from German windows and furni ture over their heads. On the evening of the second aay nosmmes reiajeu and they were rescued by the captain of their brother Charles' company, and later reunited. - VISITORS MISS AUTO TRIP Eax Experts Arrive Early and Com mittee Finds Oar Empty.
