SALEM, Or., June 21. (Special.)
The whereabouts of E. I. Cantine, chief
deputy engineer in the State Highway
Department, under State Engineer
Lewis, is puzzling Mr. Lewis, that of
ficial admitted today. Although efforts
to locate the chief deputy have been
made for the past week, Mr. Lewis said
neither he nor any of his deputies could
find him.
About two weeks ago the State High
way Commission reassigned Cantine
to work under Lewis, when the latter
gave assurances to the Commission that
he would treat his chief deputy with
the same consideration as he would
wish to be treated were he in Can
tine's place.
Inhannony la Charged.
Prior to this Cantine had been tak
ing orders from the Commission direct,
because Lewis had refused to assign
him to work in the Highway Depart
ment on the ground that there was
none for him to do and because he said
'Cantine's presence made for inharmony.
Between the State Engineer and chief
deputy strained relations have exlstd
since the Supreme Court ruled that
Lewis should conduct the Highway De
partment in place of Cantine.
The probability that Cantine may
have decided to quit the department
was the subject of some speculation
here today when it became known
that the chief deputy had disappeared.
When the Highway Commission as
signed Cantine to work under Lewis
at its last meeting, the State Engi
neer sent the chief deputy to Beml to
supervise the opening of bids for the
construction of 15 miles of lava cinder
road running south from Bend.
Successor Takes Charge.
"Mr. Cantine reported to me that
all the bids were too high," said Mr.
Lewis, "and I at once advised him to
pet a force together and that the state
would lo the work. with the ma
chlnery which the. state owns on the
Tumalo project and that loaned by the
county the road can be built at a com
paratively light cost. Since then I
have heard nothing from Mr. Cantine,
and county officials in Bend advise
me that he la not there. They told
me he had left for Portland.
"Unable to get In communication with
him In Portland by wire, finally I sent
Another of my deputies, Mr. Ross, to
Portland, but he reported that Can
tine could not be located there. That
the work on this road may not be
delayed, I ordered Mr. Ross to go to
Bend, and If he could not find Mr. Can
tine to get the work started himself.
I expect to hear from Mr. Ross to
. morrow."

WOMAN, 66, FOUND DEAD
Attack of Kpilepsy Is Believed
Be Cause of Death.
Mrs. Starr, aged 66 years, was found
dpad in her room at a lodging-house at
25 H North First street yesterday at 6
o'clock. The discovery was made by
the landlady of the lodging-house, Mrs.
Ludisher, where Mrs. Starr had been
for some time. The woman had evi
dently been dead, according to Assist
ant City Physician Thatcher, for at
least four hours.
According to Deputy Coroner Smith
the woman was subject to epileptic fits
and had apparently succumbed from
violent one. Her head was under the
bureau and her bnilv half clothed.
Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully, it
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham-1
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is just
ordinary mulsined cocoanut oil (which
Is pure and greaseless). and la better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair tne and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and eaay
to manage.
You can get mulsined cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it s very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every member
of tbo family for months Adv.

Peoples.
Dainty little Marguerite Clark, who
has charmed the movie millions in so
many characterizations, has met with
such a whole-hearted reception from
Portland fans this week that the Peo
ples Theater management has decided
to continue the screening or Her latest
vehicle. "Silks and Satins," throughout
th week. The only change in the
programme is that presenting Para
mount Pictographs, with its pictured
dissertations on preparedness, better
babies, etc.. and a Bray cartoon comedy.
"Silks and Satins" Is a drama of to
day and yesterday, with Miss Clark,
who seems to fit each character she
interprets like the proverbial glove,
even more happily cast than usual. The
plot is sentimental, but not mawkish,
and deals with a modern girl who is
about to be married at the command of
her father. A hidden drawer dis
closes a diary of an ancestor, nnd this
tale of romr.nce points to the solution
of the matrimonial problem.
Piekrord.
-The Spell of the Yukon." a stirring
tale of the Yukon as contrasted with
the life of the great cities, is making
such a hit with fandom in Portland, as
it has in other cities, that the plcturiza-
tionof the famous Service poem will
have its engagement extended to Sat
urday night-
The lure of the great outdoors, with
the big snows of the Alaskan wilds,
forms an attractive part of the film and
gives it its name, although the drama
of the story is enacted in New York.
The wild life of the Yukon, with its
rough-and-ready vice and virtue, is
ably contrasted with life in New York's
smart set. Unjust suspicion sends Jim
Carson to the gold fields to seek his
fortune. How he succeeds and returns
with the ability to take a unique re
venge are strongly told in the picture.
Christine Mayo and Edmund Bresee
head a strong cast of players.
Majestic.
All Portland admirers of Theda Bara.
the screen's most noted vampire, are
going to have an opportunity to see
her In her latest and many say best
photodrama, for Manager James, of the
Majestic Theater, announces that he
will screen "East Lynne" for the re
mainder of the week.
It is needless to enter into an ex
planation of "East Lynne." for nearly
every theater-goer knows the story of
the stage success which has lived for
many decades. It has not suffered; In
deed, the effect is enhanced by its in
terpretation in pictures.
Pathe News will show first motion
pictures of ex-Justice Hughes, Repub
lican nominee for President, following
the action of the Chicago convention,
and war scenes from Verdun and the
Mexican front- A chimpanzee comedy,
with Nap and Sally, will also be ex
hibited. Columbia.
Bessie Barriscale, considered by many
critics the ablest actress in filmdom,
and William Desmond, her exceedingly
handsome leading- man, will be pre
sented at the Columbia Theater today
in "The Sorrows of Love."
Miss Barriscale evidently liked her
experience in the garb of a nun in
"Bullets and Brown Eyes," for in her
latest feature she is again in convent
garb. However, the story is not one
of the peaceful one of a convent. Quite
the contrary, for when she leaves the
cloister inspired with an Impulse to
make the world better, her action leads
to a stirring series of adventures. She
converts an atheist and leader of work-
ingmen. falls in love with him and then
believing him faithless, deserts him.
But that is not the end.
The Love Comet," a Keystone com
edy, by Mack Sennett, is one of the
best he has ever turned out, and i
scenic showing of Alaska and gather
lng of dogs for use on European bat
tlefields are also scheduled.
Xew Paramount Officials.
At last week's annual meeting of the
stockholders of Paramount Pictures
Corporation, followed by a meeting of
newly-elected directors, a new adminls
tration was chosen for the ensuing
year.
The new officers are Hiram Abrams,
of Boston, president; William L. Sher
ry, of New York, vice-president, and
James Steele, of Pittsburg, secretary
and treasurer. They succeed, in the
order named, William W. Hodkinson,
James Steele and Raymond Pawley.
The directors include the five men
named above.
Mr. Abrams, who succeeds Mr. Hod
kinson as president, has been active in
the administration of Paramount since
its inception, two years ago. Imme
diately after his election Mr. Abrams
notified Adolph Zukor, president of the
Famous Players Film Company; Jesse
L. Lasky and Samuel Goldfish, presi
dent and treasurer, respectively, of the
Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company,
and the heads of the Pallas and Oliver
Morosco Photoplay Company, of the
change of administration. The execu
tives of these companies, which re
lease their productions through Para.
mount, promised their co-operation in
making the new administration attrac
tive to the exhibitors and-the photo
play public.
Screen Gossip.
The picture . oracle of Picture
Play Magazine is responsible for the
statement that Bessie Barriscale ie the
greatest actress in motion pictures and
that Henry Walthall is the greatest
actor.
Marguerle Clark was born in Cincin
nati, on Washington's birthday, some
time in the '80s. She went on the stage
with De Wolf Hopper in 18S9.
Who's the greatest heart-breaker,
Walace Reid, Francis X. Bushman, or
Carlyle Blaekwell?
1
Tes, Charlie Chaplin is of Jewish ex
traction. He was born near Paris, of
player parents, but was taken to Lon
don when he was two weeks old.
Perhaps it is not commonly known
that Frank Daniels' first and original
occupation was that of lithographer in
a Boston firm. But he spent so much
time mimicing customers for the bene
fit of his fellow employes that his work
suffered. The boss finally decided to
dismiss him, and ltnroduced the subject
by saying to Daniels: "As a lithog
rapher you're a laugh." The hero of
many stage productions and of a num
ber of Vitagraph comedies has 'con
firmed the last part of that statement
for many years.
Allen Foreet." formerly of Universal
and later with Lubin at Coronsdo. has
been selected by President S. S. Hutch
inson as leading man to play opposite
