The roar of the Atlantic Ocean was
heard by people in Portland TVednes
day night.
No, this is not a figure of speech, but
a Kimple statement of actual fact.
I The sounds of the Atlantic breakers
were transmitted over the -wires
the Bell telephone system as a part
of the demonstration that Inaugurated
regular commercial telephone service
between New York and Portland.
Three large audiences at the old
Baker Theater heard an operator in
New York City talk over the new
long-distance wire and listened to con
vernations carried on with Bell tele
phone officials at New York by Mayor
Albee, bv Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, and by
C.. C. Colt, president of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce.
The service was clear and distinct.
livery person in the audience had
pair of ear-pieces through which the
operators in New York could be heard
iit as plainly as if they bad been
talking from a station In the next
V Nock.
V Pictures Tell Story of Feat,

Portland people by the local officials
of the Bell system. Additional dem

neering feats required to build the
new transcontinental line.
The picture operator showed a like
ness ol v imam wylner, a young man
who talked into the transmitter at the
New York end of the line. No sooner
had Mr. Wylner's picture been flashed
upon the screen than his voice was
heard over the wire. He then read re
ports from New York papers.
Mayor Talks to New York.
Mayor Albee was introduced to Mr.
W'ylner. The Mayor invited the New
lork man to visit the Hose festival
next year. Mr. Wylner thanked the
Mayor and said he hoped he could ac

The second conversation began at
precisely 12:11 New York time, or 9:11
Portland time. Mr. ylner gave prac
tically the same report of news events.
A phonograph then waa turned loose
and a record from the opera "Torrea
dor' was heard.
Mrs. Evans spoke following the sec
ond demonstration.
"Well, we are having a little snow
here now, but that is merely for the
benefit of the children who have lived
here all their lives and never have seen
snow. Do you know that Portland is
the healthiest city in the United
States?" continued Mrs. Evans,
"No. I'm glad to hear that."
It was 1:13 New York time when the
third demonstration began. Mr. Wyl
iter made the usual report of news
events and played another phonograph
record.
lr. Colt then was Introduced.
'l can hear you plainly," said Mr.
Colt. "I send greetings from Portland."
"t .rff I i n fTt frntn Kaw Ynrlr ' ' an.
V swered the voice at the other end of
rthe wire.
"We are pleased to know that Port-
I land has become a suburb of New
York."
Mr
"Say.
Wylner laughed.
I have a brother in New York."
llr. Colt continued. "I wish you would
rail him up and tell him that you
talked to nie over the telephone."
"Sure. I'll be glad to do that the
first thing tomorrow."
Mr. Colt gave his brother's name
anil address.
"It certainly Is wonderful." was Mr.
Colt's comment after he had concluded
his conversation.
lUSTAXT OHHIEDI MO TALK

exhibition at 7:30 o'clock last night
was Carl Relter. manager of the
Crcheum. who. under special arrange
ments made by Fred Spocri. manager of
the Pacific Telephone & Tclegrapn
Company, talked over the wire to
Martin Beck in the Palace Theater
building in New York.
"When Mr. Beck said "Hello. Carl'."
declared Mr. Reiter, "the words were
as distinct as messages over the tele-
phono I have received from Seattle. In
my excitement I started talking Ger
man and -Mr. BfCK yeueo cngnsn : l
told him it was cold in Portland and
tie replied "Here, too.
"Then, with an eye to business. Mr.
Beck informed me that Madame Calve
was Just booked by him and that

GIRLS MUST WED OR LOSE
Forfeit of $300 Goes to Worthy
Charity if Success Not Theirs.
PATERSON". N. J.. Jan. 13. Bachelor
girls in Paterson have banded together
for the purpose of marrying off eligible
young men of that city, and each of
the 26 girls in the "bachelor girls'"
society has agreed to forfeit $500 if
she is not married before leap year
has passed.
A few days ago William B. Gourley,
former prosecutor of Passaic County
and owner of Dollymont, a beautiful
villa near Paterson, was quoted as
saying: 'Bachelors are a blot on the
community and should be taxed. Mr.
Gourley is an elderly bachelor.
The Paterson Press Guardian has
received the following letter, signed
"Secretary":
"I should like to Inform you that
there . is a society of bachelor girls
formed some time ago in this city, the
understanding being that all members
not married or engaged on or before
January 1, 1917, must forfeit the sum
of $500 cash, the money to be used
for some benevolent society in Pater
son. The society is secret and (has now
26 members, but we are increasing
steadily."

NEW YORK. Jan. 13. Though Enrico
Caruso will not sing the role, ne win
act and speak the part of bis own
counsel In a municipal court in this
city within the next few days.
He is financially able to hire a dis
tinguished lawyer, but be says he has
grown tired of paying out money for
defending suits which are quickly dis
missed. This time Caruso is to contest the
claim of Vittorio Franco, who supplied
a motor car for the tenor last season
and insists there was a contract to do
likewise this year.
When Caruso arrived In New York in
the Fall he announced he was getting
so stout he .roust walk much and would
not need an auto.
Monday night the singer was met at
the Metropolitan's stage entrance by a
man who handed him a summons in a
suit for $1000.

lawyer men," said Caruso. "I shall my
own lawyer be. I will tell the Judge

Terrier Goes to Bank, Draws His
Money and Takes It Away.
MAHOXET CITY. Pa.. Jan. 13.
dog's appearance at a bank paying
teller's window seeking payment of his
years savings fund check is a new
wrinkle. Kiddo, the prize-winning fox
terrier of Dr. J. If. Hagenbuch, with
check in mouth and indorsed by him
self, was the lucky canine.
A year ago Cashier W. H. Kohler,
of the Union National Bank, jokingly
asked the doctor why he didn't take
out a savings account for his dog.
"I will," the doctor replied.
It became due, and amounted to
$25.50, and the cashier sent out the
check to Kiddo Hagenbuch, in care of
his "pa."
The fox terrier was soon at the win
dow. The check had been indorsed
Kiddo Hagenbuch, in care of his 'pa.'
Opposite the signature appeared
mark of the dog's paw, the cashier
having pushed an ink pad against it.
The money was promptly paid, and the
dog pranced away with his envelope
carrying the amount in bills.

CAUSED BY THIN BLOOD
Many people think they have kidney
trouble because they have backache but
more backache is caused by overstrained
and undernourished muscles than by
anything else. In 11101 cases the blood
needs building tip.
Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building tip the
blood. When rheumatism is associated
-with thin blood the rheumatism cannot
be cured to stay cored until the blood is
bout up.
Dr. WiUiams' Pink KCs build up the
blood and sufferers from backache would
do well to try this treatment before giving
way to worry over a fancied organic dia-
' ease. Rest and the tonic treatment witn
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will correct most
lormg of backache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too bard or dance
too much and sleep too little, betterbabita
and a course of treatment with Dr. Wil-
. Lams' Pink Pills are all that is needed
to drive away the pains and aches that
re warnings of a coming breakdown.
Two books, "Building Up the Blood"
and "Nervous Disorders," will be sent
free, if you are interested, by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
Y. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills at the nearest drug store or by mail,

REUNION NEW HOPE
Minnesota Seen as Battle
ground of Republicans.
CUMMINS . LOOMNIG, TOO
Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, Declares
Standpats and Progressives Will
Fight It Out in Gopher State.
Thinks Fight to Be Bitter.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 15. Minnesota
as the pivotal state In the contest for
the Republican nomination for Presi
dent, was vlsltetd recently by Henry J-
Allen, of Wichita, Kan., to get material
for a, coming article in Colliers
Weekly.
I started out on a Cummins article.
he said at the Radisson Hotel, "but I
found this Minnesota fight looming- up
as a bigger story than the Interview.
'It looks as though Minnesota wouiu
see a clear-cut tight between the ultra
standpat and the progressive forces in
the Republican party, and it will be the
first test of strength, with Root and
Cummins leading the opposing forces."
Republican Reunion Foreseen.
Mr. Allen was a Roosevelt leader in
the 1912 National convention, and was
Progressive party candidate last year
for Governor of Kansas. He thinks the
prospect is good for a reunion of the
forces next year.
The National Progressive party nas
accomplished a good purpose, said Mr.
Allen, "whether it continues as an or
ganization or not. It has broken down
the fetich of hard-and-fast party or
ganization. It has proven that a man
may leave his party under the stress
of just Indignation and still remain a
respected citizen, a good husband and
an indulgent father.
In an era that is peculiarly recon
structive. it has brought a good many
men to declare that they are never go
ing to take out lite memberships in po
litical parties. It is a period just now
of important readjustments in our po
litical life, and men who desire to back
their own judgment in politics are
watching the situation with interest
and concern.
Concessions Jfeeessary, Is Predicted.
"If the standpat Republicans who
control the party make concessions to
the progressive element In the country
by establishing a genuinely progressive
programme, it is my belief that a ma
jority of those who left the party at
Chicago and formed the Progressive
organization would go back, because
gressive programme than they are in
any party name.
"The future of the Progressive party
rests altogether. I think, on the pro
gramme which the standpat leaders
consent to for 1916. In spite of all the
progressive element in the Republican
party might do, the standpatters in the
party have the power to force their
programme and their candidate as they
did at Chicago. They will control tbe
convention.
"One favorable manifestation of the
situation is the increased activity of
Progressive leaders in the party. In a
number of Middle Western states the
progressive members of the party are
getting ready to make a tight, in some
states behind Cummins and in others
for Borah, but in all states for an open
minded lot of delegates who will go to
the convention opposed to a standpat
programme and sincerely anxious to
unite upon a course of action which
will give the party an opportunity to
succeed.
"From what investigation I have
made in Minnesota, I believe that this
state will line up behind Senator Cum
mins and the Progressives of Minne
sota, registering their first choice for
Senator Cummins, will be for an open
minded get-together programme In the
hope of National victory."

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples Are Impurities Seeking;
an Outlet Through Skin
Pores.
Pimples, sores and boils usually re
sult from toxins, poisons and impuri
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain the
body.
It is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities trom the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impuri
ties which often break out all over the
skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted authority.
Is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
of toxips in the bowels. It also stimu
lates the kidneys to normal activity, '
thus coaxing them to filter the blood of
impurities and clearing the skin of
pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litfeia.
Here you have a pleasant effervescent
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear, cleanses the blood and is ex
cellent fcr the kidneys as well. Adv.
