Mayor Stapleton, of Gresham, has has proclaimed that there shall be a half holiday in that city, and the popu lation will turn out en masse. At least 100 automobiles will carry the Gresham visitors to Portland, arriving here about 2 o'clock. Three hundred Gresham pennants have been pur chased by the chairman of the Gresham day committee, George F. Honey, and when the Gresham delegation arrives in the city members will carry their own advertising. Word was received late yesterday from residents of Boring that that town also would send a delegation, but the members of the committee were not named and no other particulars were learned. Cars in Plenty Promised. C. M. Zimmerman, chairman of the automobile committee from Gresham, has had the greatest success in enlist ing the aid of Greshamites, and it is an assured fact that one of the biggest delegations that has visited the land show will be on hand today. Beside the automobile banners that will be sold to the owners of the machines found in line, white signs, decorated with appropriate slogans, will be fur nished the machine drivers free. The Gresham delegation will be swelled by any who care to join the ranks on the road to Portland. In speaking of the celebration, Mr. IToney says that "it is the intention of the committee to get 100 machines for the parade, and the committee will be able to do so without turning a hair." "The biggest demonstration put up by any outside town" is what the Gresham people have promised. Starting from the Chamber of Com merce about 2 o'clock, the' parade, headed by the Twenty-first Infantry band of Vancouver, will parade through the downtown streets and then go to the Armory. ?ew Band Heard. Testerday Parsons' band made its initial appearance at the land show. Mrs. Pelphine Marx was heard in vocal numbers and pictures of the trip of the Mazamas to the summit of Mount Hood were shown. As a part of the Portland day cele bration there will be demonstrations of playground work done by different classes from the Portland playgrounds. This feature has been provided by J. O. Convill, superintendent of public parks. Tonight business girls from all over the city will forget the million worries of the day and join in making busi ness girls' night a huge success. The committee that will have charge of that feature tonight follows: From the Llco Club of Lipman-Wolf e & Co. Mies V. Treganza, Miss Hilda Slurman and Miss Harrison. From Meier & Frank Company Miss Bess Young, Miss Vivial Cooley, Miss Nan Gerdps. From Olds. Wortman King Miss Connie Belknap, Miss Blanche Park, Miss Lou Larson. From Roberts Bros. Mrs. Lou Ab bott. Miss Bella Danner. From Holmes Business College Miss Jane Connor. From Link's Business College Miss Lillian Wilkinson. From the Catholic Women's League Miss Elizabeth noyle of the uprisings in Mexico are in many cases without foundation. "It is difficult for people in the United States to believe that all Mex ico isn't in ruins on account of the war," said Mrs. Penhoel, "but in Nacozari it was alwavs quiet and peace ful. "My husband thought I had better come back at this time, however, be cause there was danger that the rail road might be cut. The town is only 5 miles from - Douglas, Ariz. On our way back we had no trouble at all. At one' place we had to wait while troops crossed the track, but that is as near to actual fighting as I came in the time 1 was there. "Women who lived there for some time and who wire in the town when there was fighting, told me that both factions were actually polite. They would inform the Americans that there was to be a battle, and then the Ameri cans would gather in one house, over which they would hoist a white flag. They would not be harmed, and only panic-stricken. They told me neither faction would harm United States citi tens, fearing that the United State would intervene and take the other tide." Far from being alarmed bv the trouble in Mexico, Mrs. Penhoel is mxious to rejoin her husband. She txpects to stay in Minnesota not more than a month. By that time, she be 'ieves all danger will be past. HIGHBALL TEST IS MADE Waiter Pleads Guilty When Chem ist's Analysis Is Produced. .MINNEAPOLIS. Nov.. 6. A highball is a highball whether disguised by a teacup or a fern dish, and hotel waiters who Jress them up to look like bits of cold tea or mutton broth may as well serve them in the regulation glasses, for highballs have individuality.

Radisson Hotel waiter, Sunday, and did it so effectually that Ander son changed his plea to guilty of a cnarge or selling liquor on iiunday. tnen. mat all who wish may know whether they get highballs when they order them, Mr. Roberts made public tne answer to the question, "What is a highball?" "It is as easy to tell a highball from any other drink as it is to tell a race horse from a mule," said Mr. Roberts after Anderson had changed his plea. ah you have to do is to go about it right." "How do you know that thev were highballs and not just a hodgepodge of liquors:' asked an attorney. 'By two tests the test of taste and the test of science," said the city chem- st. "Jf the results of both tests agree. it's a highball. 'It tasted like a highball and then I went to work on the other test. Thus had all the essential ingredients of the common highball of commerce, in- clnding the water." The chemical analysis was given as follows: C2H5HO By volume 11.11 per cent. or by weight 8.69 per cent. C02 Sufficient to insure sparkle. Saccharomyces cerevisiae A trace. Extract ginger Trace.

That most new hats ordered Wednesday, Thurs day or Friday are expected to be de livered by Saturday night was given by Dr.-Susan Ivinprsbury, of Bryn Mawr College, in an addres to the National Consumers League convention as one of the chief reasons why girls employed in the "needle trades," millinery and dressmaking, often are overspeeded and made to work long hours. "The public is responsible for con ditions prevailing in trades which have short seasons and long weeks of work during busy seasons, said Dr. Kings bury.

AUSTIN. Tex., Nov. 4. How many friendless convicts there are in the state penitentiary who -are worthy of being pardoned no one knows. Gov ernor James E. Ferguson says he pur poses to find out and to apply his par doning power to all who have good records and are entitled to the favor in other respects. The total population of the state prison is about 3800, men and women. Thousands of these submerged people have no friends outside of the prison walls to intercede in their behalf, no matter how good and model prisoners they may have been. It has been amply proved in the past that the convict who has friends or money can obtain a pardon without much difficulty. There are many law yers in the state who make a specialty of obtaining the pardons of convicts for a stipulated fee in each case. They appear before Governor Fergu son and the Pardon Board and submit a brief covering of the case, together with a signed petition requesting the person's pardon. If the convict's rec ord in prison is good it is usual for the pardon to be issued. It is the friendless element who have no money to employ lawyers that Gov ernor Ferguson now wants to reach. He recently announced that he will is sue pardons soon for 100 men and women of this class and that others will be freed as rapidly aa the Board of Pardons can personally visit the prison and convict farms and hear the individual cases. Governor Ferguson is deeply inter ested in placing the state penitentiary system on a higher plane and better financial basis. He believes that more of the convicts should be employed in outdoor labor than has been the cus tom heretofore. k With this end in view he reeently purchased on behalf of the state an other plantation of several thousand acres, which gives the penitentiary system more than 40,000 acres to be cultivated by convict labor. 82,000 Miles in One Mile. GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Oct. 30 The Major Watson, a steam pleasure boat operated on Reed's Lake, near this city, has a distinction not possessed by any other boat. Although it has traveled more than 82,500 miles, it has never been more than a mile in a direct line from the spot where it was built. The boat has been in operation for 25 years. It makes three trips an hour, 11 hours each day around the lake, which has a circumference of more than three miles. It runs five months every year. This gives a yearly aver age of 6600 miles and a total mileage of 82,500. What is believed to be a record for speedy loading is that held by the Great Lakes steamship William fc. Corey, which, at a wo Harbors. Minn., took 10.000 tons of iron ore into her hold In 28 minutes. etter Service to Our Depositors I 1 1 KMX. I fSgT Northwestern National Bank I Jrnna Co.
