NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. April 26.
Special.) In the Spring the alfalfa
comes forth in vivid emerald green and
carpets the floor of the Yakima. Val
ley. In the Spring the apple trees and
pear trees put out their clouds of white
blossoms and the peach trees don
brilliant pink dress. Given the alter
nation of emerald green with white or
pink and the effect when seen from
n eminence is not to be forgotten. But
it-hen the m-een of the alfalfa is a
direct bacKground for the blossoms,
when it rests lush between rows of
trees that are celebrating in their mute
way the return of warmth and eun-
rhine. then there is nothing more beau
tiful out of doors.
It was this the members of the Port
land business men's excursion were
permitted to look upon and rejoice in
today. After a. close and intimate in
spection of the farming wealth of the
valley, the party wended Us way in a
long string of automobiles to Lookout
Point. There from a height of perhaps
)2'j' feet the Yakima and Nachez val
leys lay spread out at their feet.
Reautr vtncea VUltoni.
Tt was a beautj- that was practical.
No talk or persuasion was required to
convince the visitors of the truth of
t!.e ftat'-ment that the products of this
section last year aggregated in value
mnre than 110.000.000.
Another perfect day. smooth, dustlcss
roads and the hospitality or the people
collaborated, together with the beauty
of the countrysidc.-to make the event
a memorable one. Hospitality found Its
vent in a yellow truck load of yellow
N'ewtown apples hauled f Lookout
I'oint. where they were washed down
by the visitors with, sparkling apple
Juice.
It is not the fault of nature that the
people of Portland do not know this
prfat and wealthy community better In
social and commercial ways. If a wild
goose took a notion to fly from North
Yakima to tidewater, it would skim
over a low range of hills and then sail
without effort down the Columbia. But
when the thinking human animal made
p rrangements to get from North
Yakima to tidewater he spent vast
sums to climb unnecessarily over a
mountain range.
Country Xatnrally In Columbia Basin.
In slangology it is termed a certainty
that God made little apples. It is Just
us much a certainty that God made this
country to be tributary commercially
to the markets of the Columbia Itiver.
While there has been discussion in
Portland of guiding the true destiny of
the country by connecting the North
Hank Railroad via Goldendale. it is said
here that there is a more feasible and
more direct route straight across the
Yakima Reservation to White Salmon.
The distance is about 100 miles. Be
tween White Salmon and the southern
boundary of the reservation lies a coun
try rich in timber and livestock. This
railroad would reduce the rail distance
between Portland and North. Yakima
approximately one-half.
Beside immediate trade benefits is
another consideration. The people of
the Takima Valley have a problem to
solve in the dispostion of excess and
undergrade fruit. They feel the need
of a large cannery and evaporator, but
they are reluctantly coming t,o the con
clusion that because of the necessity of
shipping in cans and because markets
and shipping conditions lend themselves
better to transport of the finished
product by sea, a cannery is more prac
ticable on tidewater than here.
Shorter Route eded.
There are some who have visions of
a great fruit-preserving Institution at
a point on the Columbia where ships
may load, this institution to serve too
the Hood River. Rogue River. Umpqua
and other fruit-producing districts of
Oregon which feel the same need as the
Yakima Valley. The idea is more than
ordinarily attractive, but obviously be
fore such a thing can have its full
practicability, something must be done
to overcome the freight rate handicap
against shipments from this section to
Portland. The rail distance is now
about 320 miles. It ought to be about
ISO miles, with rates lower in accord
ance with distance and cheapness of
ciown-grade haul
But there will be more said of that
after the return of the Portland party.
Just now they are finishing up the so
cial programme of the day. At noon
there was a luncheon at the Commer
cial Hotel, given fa the Commercial
Club. This evening that live organiza
tion entertained at the Commercial
luhrooms with smoker and speaking
and singing. There was a selection by'
the Camerata Club and a vocal solo
by W. A. Montgomery, of Portland.
Addresses were delivered by Dr. Robert
Prior, president of the Yakima Com
mercial Club: Dr. A. II. Henry. Thomas
B. Hill and Colonel W. W. Robertson,
of North-Yakima; by C. C. Chapman.
W. G. McPherson. A. E. Charlton, Taul

ment, Iteportecl to Be I'inal.
Telegram Seals Agreement.
Upon his arrival in Portland yester
day Sam Harris, freneral manager of
the Ackerman & Harris Hippodrome
theatrical circuit, announced that the
present Kmpress Theater building or.
the southwest corner of Stark street
and Broadway would be operated by
the Turner & Dahnken circuit of Cali
fornia as high-class movie house
with concert attractions in supplement
The Ackerman & Harris firm will
retain its lease on the Kmpress build
ing, but will grant Its use to the
Turner & Dahnken circuit with the
express agreement that no vaudeville
acts will be played on the Kmpress
stage.
Meanwhile, the Ackerman & Harris
Hippodrome vaudeville acts will be
staged at the present Orpheum The
ater on Yamhill street and Broadway
with moving pictures as auxiliaries.
Arrangement Declared Final.
"You may say that this new arrange
ment is absolutely final and that it
will positively end the shuffling of
Portland theaters insofar as the Or
pheum and Empress buildings are con
cerned." said Mr. Harris last night.
"While on the train today. I received
a telegram from Bruce Johnson, gen
eral manager of the Turner & Dahnken
circuit, which finally clinched the ac
ceptance of our proposition. Mr. John
son will arrive in Portland Friday to
make arrangements for the opening of
the new movie house soon after the
termination of the Sullivan & Con
sidine vaudeville run one week from
Saturday night.
"The Turner & Dahnken concern op
erates the Tivoll Theater in San Fran
cisco and a chain of 13 other movie
houses in California. They have a
$35,000 organ in the Tivoii and I
understand a similar instrument will
be installed In the Portland house.
"A large symphony orchestra will be
carried to render high-class concert
music. I really do not know what
particular pictures will be featured,
but they will be high class. Nor do I
know what prices will rule."
Mr. Harris and Lester Fountain, who
will act as manager of the Portland
Hippodrome xiuring its opening month
In Portland, left last night for Seattle
to arrange for the opening of their
new house there, but will return to
Portland tomorrow for a conference
with Mr. Johnson.
The Orpheum will close its season's
run in its present quarters on Satur
day and a week later the last acts
controlled by the old Sullivan & Con
xidine schedule will be run at the
Kmpress. It is expected that ten days
or a week will be required in each
instance to fit the respective premises
for the occupancy of the new concerns
and the new classes of entertainment.

goes beyond that point it is exceeding
its authority. When you pass that
point you are getting on dangerous
ground; I mean ground that is danger

"Still. I guess it Is useless for me
to stand here and argue against the
sliding scale." said Mr. Joseph with an
air of finality.
"Do you mean." asked A. C. Callan.
a member of the Commission, "that
an advance of the minimum wage has
a tendency to make the minimum the
maximum wage?"
"No. I can't say that," replied Mr.
Joseph, "but It has a tendency in that
direction."
"I can't see," commented Everett
Ames, another member of the Commis
sion, also representing the employers,
"how these minor changes that we
have suggested are going to bring

about all these dire results that you
predict.
"Any change you make affects the
whole business industry," replied Mr.
Joseph.
"Well, do you think a business should
be permitted to be built up if it doesn't
pay reasonable wages?" asked Mr.
Ames.
"No, certainly not, but you can't go
beyond the point of fixing a wage that
is reasonable."
"But we are not trying to do any
thing else," insisted L. Brewster, a rep
resentative of the general public on the
Commission.
"Your rule that requires us to raise
the wages of girls at the end of four
months means that they will be dis
charged at the end of four months," re
torted Mr. Joseph.
"What will become of those girls?"
asked Mr. Callan.
"They'll go to other stores and seek
work. If they tell the truth and say-
that they have served four months as
apprentices they won't get it."
"Who'll take their old places?"
"New girls."
Living Standard .Mentioned.
Mr. Joseph thought that the higher
standard of living lias a lot to do with
the present demand of higher wages.
He proclaimed the fact that as a youth
he herded sheep for $15 a month and
got along comfortably.
"But hasn't the world made any
progress since you herded sheep?" de
manded Mrs. L. Gee. representing the
employes on the committee. " "Aren't
we all entitled to a better living?"
"No we haven't made any progress
in the last few years." said Mr. Joseph.
"When did we stop progressing?"
asked Mrs. Gee.
"When the war started."
"Yes and it will stop again if' the
women are not paid a decent wage,"
insisted Mrs. Gee.
"Well I believe that apprentices can
live for a year for $6 a week," was
Mr. Joseph's final opinion on the wage
question.
"Yes, and under the present rulings
some employers take advantage of
these girls and make them work three
years for $6 a week.
"Five years," came from a girl in the
audience."
"And that's the reason of this con
ference," added Mrs. Gee.
Four Report rcritNarj-,
When the conference opened. Father
E. V. O'Hara, chairman of the Indus
trial Welfare Commission, explained,
that under a recent decision of the Attorney-General,
the appointment of the
conference to consider all industries
employing i women was technically il
legal, that one body cannot consider
more than one line cf industry. He
explained, therefore, that four sepa
rate conference's had been appointed
with the personnel of each the same,
being the members of the original con
ference. In accordance with this ruling, four
separate reports will be drafted, one for
each of the following branches of work:
Manufacturing, laundries. mercantile
establishments and personal service
At the ,neit meeting, on Tuesday
afternoon. May 2, special consideration
will be given to sanitary conditions
affecting women workers. A committee
consisting of Mrs. Ames. Mrs. G. J.
Frankel and Miss Nell Younger mean
while will draft a tentative code on
this subject.

SALEM. Or., April 29. (Special.)
Maxwell Ball, editor of the. Willamette
Collegian, was suspended from Willam

mission to the faculty of participation-
in the placing of a cow in the university
chapel recently.
A number of other students suspected
of having engaged in the escapade are
under official scrutiny of the faculty,
it is said.
President Doney, of the university.N
announced the faculty action before the
student body this morning, but did not
announce the name of the guilty stu
dent. The cow was placed in the chapel
during the night and discovered the
following morning when the students
and faculty gathered fpr chapel service.
Service was suspended and the morning
spent In filing the heavy chains which
bound the bovine to the rostrum.
The act was declared to have been as
a protest of a faculty ruling that all
students must attend chapel.
GREAT BRIDGE SPAN
AT STORM S.- MERCY
Draw Section of Interstate

and Heroic Work.
GALE STRIKES SUDDENLY
Steamers Towing Barges Start From
Vancouver Shore Vitli Sun Shin
ing, but Soon Are in Dan
gerous Predicament.
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 26. (Spe
cial.) Just as the big 1,300.000-pound
draw span was about to be placed in
the Columbia Hiver Interstate bridge at
5:30 o'clock today a terrific wind and
rain storm broke with such fury that
the barges carrying one end of the
span were blown far past the pier
and for a time conditions were ex
tremely serious. An arm of a big der
rick being used by the Pacific Bridge
Company ..opportunely caught the end
of the span after it had passed by
probably 50 feet the pier it was brought
to rest upon and held it fast.
Every man working on the steamers
Paloma and Hustler and on the four
barges worked like Trojans and man
aged to keep the span in this position
for half an hour, until the wind died
down, and then It was pulled back and
dropped into place, uninjured..
The storm came from the west bank
and broke with such sudden fury that
the monster span was at the mercy of
the gale.
Occasion Seema Annplcloux.
Preparations for floating the span
had proceeded well and all was ready
for floating about 3:30 o'clock, when a
heavy wind made the task somewhat
dangerous, so it was decided to wait un
til it had died down. Shortly after 6
o'clock all looked favorable, the sun
was shining and there were several
hundred spectators on the Northern Pa
cific . dock and on the shore watching
operations.
The signal was given, and the 6o0
tons of steel in the massive span
moved quietly and imposingly out into
the Columbia River. Just as lines were
about to be made fast the storm came
with fury, and trouble loomed at once.
The wind was so strong it pushed the
span, barges and two steamers up
stream against a strong current, and
it was not until the arm of the derrick
caught the end of the span near the
channel of the river that its progress
waa stopped.
Italn Chases Spectators.
The heavy rain drove home most of
the spectators, and few saw the excit
ing struggle taking place.
In half an hour the rain stopped and
the wind calmed down, and the men
were able to get the span into its
proper position. The barges were then
sunk and the heavy load slowly dropped
into position.
It is expected that another span will
be taken out tomorrow afternoon, if
the weather is favorable. v
The contractors and their heroic men
received great praise for the manner in
which they met the unlooked-for and
dangerous incident.

SIMS LINEUP MADE
Washington Delegation Seems

BULL MOOSE WITH G. 0. P.
Port Townsend Man Ifeads Flying
Political Squadron and Com
pletes Convention Organ
ization at Spokane.
SPOKANE. Wash.. April 26. (Spe-
ciaL) Heading a sort of a political
flying squadron. E. A. Sims, of Port
Townsend, arrived in Spokane this
morning, for a one-day stay, completing
the organization lineup f delegates to
attend the Republican National con
vention. C. R. Maybury, clerk of the
lower House of the last Legislature,
one or two newspapermen, and, what
proved surprising. Thomas Mu'rphine,
of Seattle, Progressive party leader In
two .legislative sessions, were in the
group.
Murphine said he had no connection
with the party, but "was playing his
own game as a candidate for a place at
arge to the Bull Moose National con
vention. Political observers say that
the answer to the "frame-up" is that
half the Republican National delega
tion is to -be made up of Progressive
Republicans, and the other half of
standpatters.
Mr. Sims was in consultation today
with Charles P. Lund. Judge Webeter,
and other local Republicans. The hard
and fast alignment that is practically
perfected today proved surprising in
the personnel. About five out of the
10 places for district delegates are yet
undecided, but it now appears that the
Republican state convention at North
Yakima next week will hardly be much
more than a ratification meeting.
L Roy Slater, Progressive state
chairman, called in a group of Pro
gressives to talk with Mr. Murphine,
where the conversation bore strictly
upon Bull Moose matters. The Seattle
man was practically assured of solid
support from Spokane County for a
place at large upon the Progressive
delegation to Seattle. There are only
two of these, and the other is likely
to be filled by Chairman Slater, it is
believed.
On the face of the Sims' lineup,
Roosevelt gets six votes from the
Washington delegation on the first bal
lot in the Republican convention at
Chicago; C. E. Hughes gets three;
John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, gets
one or two, and the rest are scattering.
Sims pretty nearly controls its final
actions.
ARRANT FRAUD CHARGED
MACHINE MAXIFACTIRI.XG
t'OJIPAXV IS SUED.
C. W. Field Alleges "Defendants Con
spired to Form Corporation With
Object of Defrauding: Public."
The Coin Machine Manufacturing
Company Is stigmatized as an arrant
fraud with imaginary assets repre
sented to be in the neighborhood of
$2,000,000 in a suit to cancel the char
ter and dissolve, the corporation, filed
in the Circuit Court yesterday by C.
W. Tield. Incidentally, the petitioner
asks the recovery of $800 paid in stock
of the concern.
The action is brought against the
Incorporators of the company, T. B.
Potter, T. I. Potter and John K. Kol
lock, and the secretary of the firm,
E. V. Reardon.
On June 28, 1910, the defendants
"conspired to form a corporation with
the object of defrauding the public
and particularily this plaintiff." alleges
Mr. Field. On March 4, 1911, the plain
tiff contracted for the purchase of 10
shares of capital stock for $700, par
value $1000. He did this on the false
representation, he allegeB, that the cor
poration was a large concern with con
tracts, patents and patent rights to the
approximate value of $2,000,000 and
that It aimed to erect manufacturing
plants throughout the United States.
It was represented, he further main
tains, that the machines were a neces
sity to business houses of the world and
that every large retail and depart
ment store of the Pacific Coast was
clamoring for the use of the labor-saving
device for money handling. Com
merce was to be revolutionized, he
alleges, and contracts supposedly were
held with the large department stores
of Portland.
All these things were untrue, con
tends Mr. Field, who asserts that the
sole object of the corporation was to
profit by forfeited' contracts, which,
he says, were its only assets. On Janu
ary 8, 1912, he discovered fraud, ha

Use Cocoanut Oil
for Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less"), is much better than the most ex
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two tcaspoonfula
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of oust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in. the family for months. Ad.
