Mrs. Powell was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah 11111, and came with them across the plains in 1847. She was the stepdaughter of Stephen Cof fin, one of Portland's early settlers. The name of Helen Hill appears among- the list of the first members of the Sunday school of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, of this city, when the school was held in the old cooper shop, and throughout all these years she had been one of the honored members of this church.

Waters, a sister of Mrs. Robert E. Stra horn. prevented the departure of Mr. Strahorn yesterday on his proposed Central Oregon trip. From the effects of a minor operation Mrs. Waters died in a Spokane hospital. Word of her death was received in telegrams al most at the moment of Mr. Strahorn's intended leave-taking. The 450-mile automobile tour Mr. Strahorn was to have taken is over the route of the Oregon, California & Eastern Railway, which, when built, is to afford a transportation outlet for leagues of undeveloped territory, as well as linking the five railroad lines that now skirt the margin of the territory to be benefited. Mr. and Mrs. Strahorn left last night for Spokane, and It is not definitely known when they will return. TRADE EXPERTS GO EAST Conference at Washington to Take Plans for Improvement. W. B.

Effects of Prohibition, on Business to Probed by Progressive Be V . Business Men's Club. An article appearing in a recent issue of the San Diego Union and represented to be an Interview with E. Hoch. of Portland, in which business conditions in this city were reported to be stag nant as a result of prohibition, was strongly denounced - by resolutions adopted at the meeting of the Progres sive Business Men's Club at the Oregon Hotel yesterday. The resolutions say in part: "We publicly condemn such publicity as contained in this interview as being wholly at variance with the truth. We confidently believe that business con ditions have materially improved throughout this entire state these past five months and that no legitimate business has been injured because of prohibition. That this legislation has put any of Portland's hotels out of business is as untrue as the statement that the population of Portland has decreased 30.000 or 40.000 during the past five months. Judging from the building now going on and the most authentic records obtainable, the popu lation of Portland has not decreased in the past five -months at all, but con tinues as ever, to increase." A committee was appointed to make an investigation of the subject and con sists of Frank H. Hilton. H. R. Albee. John H. Dundore. C. C. Chapman and Ralph H. Mitchell. EX-WIFE IS NOT DODGED George W. Harrison Changes Name but Arrest Is Effected. He had heard that work could be obtained in Portland or Seattle, so George W.' Harrison came up from San Francisco. He took the name George W.

Yesterday Harrison was arrested by City Detectives Swennes and Moloney, on advice from San Francisco, for "omitting to provide for a minor child." Today his wife is expected. Harrison says he will go back without extradition. SAMUEL R. STOTT DEAD Native Oregon Son and Prominent Attorney Dies at Age of 6 1. Heart trouble caused the sudden death of Samuel R.

Complete restitution having been made l.nd the District Attorney's office convinced that George I. Willey. former clerk of the District Court, is now a criminal at heart, the indictment against him for larceny of public money was dismissed by Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday, who ordered that the rec ords against the man be wiped from the books.

The Piano of Her Choice It Js probably no exaggeration to say that nine women out of ten will prefer our 1916 model Thompson piano to any other piano in the mod erate price field. Certainly the 151.323 of older and . now 191s models, sold and in use in the people's homes, have gone a long way to confirming this statement. But If you want the evidence if your own experience take the "Madam" along with you the next time that you go down town, let her see all the new models, woods and fin ishes. No one can long resist the charm of the full mellow tone, easy double repeating action and the splendid lines of our 1916 model case designs.
