Douglas Fir to Enter Missouri
River Market Now in Hands
i of Southern Mills.
TO
CHANGE DUE SEPTEMBER 1
Vnlon Pacific Decides to Take Ac
tion Alone and Northern Lines
Are Expected to Make Sim
ilar Hate for Mills Later.
A 5-cent reduction in the lumber rate
from the Northwest producing terri
tory to the Missouri River and points
in Kansas and. Nebraska will be au
thorized by the Union Pacific Railroad
system before the end of the present
week.
The rate now is 50 cents per 100
pounds.' The new rate will be 45 cents.
Measured in the terms of lumber, this
reduction will mean a savins of from
$1.50 to $1.60 per 1000 feet for the man
ufacturers of the Northwest. It takes
from 3000 to 3300 pounds of lumber to
make 1000 feet.
It is apparent, however, that this sav
ing: will be passed along- to the retail
dealers of the Missouri River territory
fo that they will be able to sell Douglas
fir and other products of the North
western mills on a parity with South
ern pine.
New Territory Is Opened.
A difference of J1.50 per 1000 will
enable fir to eret into that district at
& slight advantage over pine.
The Missouri River territory con
sumes an enormous volume of lumber
every year and always has been keen
ly contested for among; the rival manu
facturers. Year after year the North
western mills have been extending
their market farther and farther east
ward until now they are working- on a
parity with the Southern mills in terri
tory that formerly belonged exclusive
ly to the South.
For more than a year the Union Pa
cific has been contemplating- a rate re
duction that would aid the Northwest
ern mills in getting- a better foothold
in the Missouri River district. When
B. I. Winchell, traffic director of the
Union Pacific, was in Portland last
week he gave this subject careful con
sideration. Date Probably September ' 1.
Mr. Winchell, together with Frank
W. Robinson, traffic manager for the
O.-W. R. & N. Company, left last Fri
day for Chicago to attend a rate meet
ing. It is understood, though, that
without further deday they will au
thorize the preparation of tariffs pro
viding for the new rate. It will be
necessary for the tariffs to be pub
lished for 30 days before they can be
come effective, so it is probable that it
will be September 1 before the lumber
men will have the benefit of the reduc
tion. Whether the northern lines will fol
low the action of the Union Pacific and
meet the rate remains yet to be deter
mined. It is understood here that the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
have been unwilling to enter into an
agreement with the Union Pacific to
make a uniform reduction on all lines
and that after several months of ne
gotiations the Union Pacific proceeded
on its own initiative.
The history of past rate changes has
been that whenever one road offers a
reduction, the competing roads fol
lowed suit and met the reduction.
. The Norther lines and Union Pacific
have just entered into an agreement to
grant to the Northwestern lumber mills
a milling in transit rate on shipments
moving all the way over the same line.

troops of Brussiloff were storming the

time for the Teutons to rush across the
main bridge at Ugli and save them
selves, leaving their guns on the Rus

Under violent artillery and rifle fire

Illuminate Lawn Where Au
dience Is Assembled.
The annual frolic of the Portland
Arts and Crafts Association, held last
ight on the lawn of the H. C. Wort-
man home at 245 Vista avenue, was an
artistic success and event of note in a
society way.
The performers, all young men and
women prominent in society, played on
natural outdoor stage with the green
grass for a carpet. The spectators sat
in camp chairs or ranged themselves at
ease on rugs spread on the grass.
Clever renditions of famous Shake
spearean characters were given in pan
tomime. There was not a single speak
ing part, but the pantomime was so
well done that the spectators rewarded
the actors for their thoughtful prepara-
on and fine rendition of their parts
with almost continuous applause.
Never did absence of scenery handi
cap players less. There were two
scenes that called fpr . balcony. The
need of the occasion was met by plac
ing a stepladder behind a screen. The
lady whose presence was required on
the balcony for the scene climbed the
hidden stepfadder, and the illusion of
real balcony was realistic enough
for all purposes.
The balcony love scene from Romeo
and Juliet was thus portrayed with
dash and aplomb.--
Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke read lines
from the Shakespearean scenes and the
layers came upon the. stage and acted
their lines as she read them. There
were nine scenes. .
The first was from "A Midsummer
Night's Dream." Dorothy Giebert was
Tltania. Mildred Keats made a dainty
and sprightly Puck. Her dancing was
especially clever. G. Stuart Pratt was
Bottom.
Margaret Spencer, Mildred Marsh,
Helen Hawkins and Harriet Hawkins
were fairies.
The next scene showed Portia and
Nerissa. Bertha Stuart was a most
learned-looking Portia and Miss Gene
vieve Parker was Nerissa.
Mrs. Thomas Honeyman. who also
was stage manager of the evening's
ntertalnment, had the part of Cor
delia, King Lear's daughter, in the
next scene.
The fourth scene represented Jessica,
daughter of Shylock. at the balcony
window. The part was taken by Mrs.
wn Claire Monteith.
Rosalind. Orlando's sweetheart, was
portrayed by Miss Shanna Cumming.
Miss Evelyn Carey was a beautiful
Celia, daughter of the usurping duke.
Then Desdemona, depicted by Miss
Katherlne Knapp, and Othello, played
by Roswell Dosch, passed in review to
great applause.
Marlon Chapin as Ophelia was a most
winsome mad-woman. She smiled as
she passed up-stage and absently tossed
roses to the moon.
Scene the eighth was the balcony
interviaw between Romeo and Juliet,
as played by Carl Walters and Cornelia
Cook.
The final rendition was the telling
witches' scene from Macbeth, with Miss
Helen Harmon, Mrs. Charles Edwin
Sears and Miss Marjorie Noble as the
witches.

LAND-GRANT REPORT MADE
Secretary Exposes Expenditure
of
4 0 Per Cent of Reclamation Re

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash-
ngton, July 10. Although Secretary or
the Interior Lane reported adversely
to Congress today on the bill of Rep
resentative Sinnott requiring the ex
pendlture in Oregon of the 40 per cent
nt mcelnti from the Oregon & Cali
fornia grant land sales set aside for
reclamation work. Mr. Sinnott has not
given up his fight for the legislation.
He intends to get together all mem
bers of the Oregon delegation and call
in a body on the Secretary, in the nope
of inducing him to withdraw his ad
verse report and submit a favorable
substitute.
The tone of the Secretary's report,
however, and the attitude he assumed
durlno- the consideration of the land-
grant bill give mue grounq. mr nopt
that hs will assent to the expenditure
of this 40 per cent in Oregon.
Reporting adversely on tne Dill, esec
retary Lane says that Congress was ex
tremelv liberal with Oregon in grant
iner EO net cent of the grant receipts to
the state and counties, which is 10 per
cent more than he himself recommend
ed, and he thinks the 40 per cent in
question should go into the reclamation
fund for general use.
It also is to he rememDerea mat
while Secretary Lane in the first in
stance suggested giving 20 per cent t.
the state and 20 per cent to the coun
ties, he also voiced the belief that It

and give nothing to the state, espe
cially at this time.

Social affairs were concentrated yes
terday afternoon in the gardens of Mrs.
Theodora B. Wilcox, where a further
episode In the career of "Veda the
Vampire" was filmed for the movies.
Jt had been feared for some time that
Veda would not take with the first
families, many households having been
seriously disturbed by the unwarranted
encroachments . of this adventurous
womau into purely domestic affairs.
But now the various attempts to
kill her socially are at a standstill, for
Veda is respectably married to Adolph
us Seaman, a wealthy bachelor of
social prominence, and dominates the
whole 4C0 as easily as sne naa domi
nated several of its more susceptible
married men. Her triumph was crowned
at the elaborate garden party photo
graphed yesterday afternoon, for none
of the exclusive social set dared refuse
her lumcona. -
All of the families, involved in Veda s
recent sensational exploits were rep
resented among the guests, and as
Veda stood receiving at her husband's
elbow, she found even the wives of
her most heartlessly mistreated vie
tims ready to receive her cordially. If
no further gossip is launched against
Veda, and no social leader cuts her
openly, she is due for an active social
season.
Veda Usea Hrr Eyea.
Veda does it all with her eyes. They
were extremely effective on yesterday's
exposures and, as the line of guests
came into their range, the greetings
accorded the former vampire were
almost tropical in their warmth. The
social independents who had resolved
to treat Veda coldly and then warm up
gradually if she took in society sud
denly became almost fraternal and, he
fore they could recall their vanishing
reserve, found themselves closing into
Intimate friendships.
The complaints about Veda's misuse
of other women s husbands have appar
ently all blown over. Several families
that were very near disruption have
been reconciled, and were seen to en
ter and leave the garden party In good
order, most of the husbands having
once more come under their wives' man-
1 sgement. The forgiveness of the

cordiality toward' the vampire and. until
Veda goes In for more adventures, she
will probably be allowed the tranquil
lity accorded other society women.
Weddln- Talus for Granted.
The husband of Veda in yesterday's
movie was played by W. Dennison
Clark. His part was merely to repre
sent a Wealthy rancher and social
light, Adolphus Seaman, who confers
the use of his property, his name and
other social facilities upon the former
vampire woman. The wedding cere
mony, which has not yet been per
formed, seemed to be taken aa a matter
of course by the guests at yester
day's affair, and the movie man prom
ises that as soon as the couple are
actually married he will put the wed
ding pictures ahead of the garden
parly. This will put a plausible at
mosphere into yesterday's episode and
increase the satisfaction of movie
patrons. "
The pictures to be taken this morn
ing will depict one of Veda's more
thrilling exploits, which has been
scheduled to take place along the Co
lumbia Highway. A few days more of
good sunlight will bring Veda's ca
reer to a climax, and the People's In
stitute wilt, be enabled to have the
pictures on display.

Various Forms
Of Headache
"It Is necessary In order to treat head
aches properly to understand the causes
which produce the affection" says Dr. J. W.
Ray, of Blockton. Ala. Continuing he says.
"Physicians cannot even begin the treat
ment of a disease without knowing what
cittii give rise to it, and we mutt remem
ber that headache li to be treated accord- .
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give a remedy Intended to
counteract the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give a remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, antl-kamnla tablets will be found
a most convenient and satisfactory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours Elves
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
of headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women."
When we have a patient subject to regular
attacks of sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for wblch
nothing is better than "Actolds," and when
he feels the least Mgn of an oncoming at
tack, he should take two A-K Tablets. Such
patients should always be instructed to
carry a few antl-kamnla tablets, so as to
have themt-ready for Instant nse. Thee
tablets are prompt In action and can be
depended on to produce relief In s very
few minutes. Atk for A-K Tablets.
Antl-kamnla tablets at all druggists.
