GOVERNOR BACKS DRIVE
Astoria to Show Own Articles at
Meeting of State Retail Mer
chants This Week.
Few persons In Portland know that
Oregon-made toys are beginning to
".ke their part with the best of play
'inKB. Oregon-made toxs are the
subject of the fourth display of home
uoducts installed in the public li
brary, and all lsst week hundreds of
Interested Portland folk investigated
display in the main lobby, and re
solved suggestions for Christmas.
The display includes three major
-yhlbits by Portland concerns and a
'umber of smaller ones. The three
"arger ones are by the Konstructo
building Blocks company, the Aldrich
nd Maffet company and the D. Vez
lanl Statuary company. There are
. ilso on display a group of dolls made
ay the St. Stephens Procathedral
guild, a group of kewpies made of
soap by the Sanitone company, and a
number of toys made by school chil
Jren. The display is rounded out
with a group of posters issued by the
Toy Manufacturers' association of As
.orta. urging the general policy "Buy
American Made Toys." and a number
Df toy catalogues from companies
throughout .he country.
Building Block Late Toys.
Konstructo. building blocks are
among the latest engineering toys for
children, the patents having been
taken out by the local company on
July 2. 1918. At the display at the
library many kinds of structures are
made out of the blocks, which fit in
geniously together, including houses,
sheds, grandstands, chairs, wagons,
windmills and airplanes.
Aldrich and Maffet are makers of
Junior engineering blocks for chil
dren somewhat older than those who
would enjoy the Konstructo blocks.
I'heir display at the library consists
it a bridge six feet long made entire
ly of blocks. Many kinds of devices
can be put together by use of the
blocks. The junior engineering
blocks are made at the company's
plant located at 110 North Twenty
.hird street. Patents have been ap
plied for. Both these and the Kon
structo blocks answer the general de
scription, "originated in Portland,
made in Portland, of Oregon wood, by
-ortlaiid labor."
Competition Suiimil ully Met
The D. Vezzani Statuary company's
isplay consists of a group of dolls
tith luxurious hair and luminous
eyes. These are but one of the prod
ucts of the Vezzani company, whose
plant is located at 305 Third street.
All these toy products are being sold
by Portland stores and elsewhere
throughout the northwest and are
successfully meeting the competition
of the best and oldest eastern firms.
It is stated.
Support of home industries In Ore
gon is urged by Governor Olcott
in a letter sent last week to A. C.
Clark, manager of the Associated In
dustries of Oregon. The letter is in
reply to a communication sent by Mr.
Clurk asking the governor to issueH
a statement urging Oregonians to
support home industries by purchas
ing products made in Oregon when
quality, service and price are equal.

RANK MAYO, a new star to the
Majestic theater, will be seen In
"The Brute Breaker" today for
the last time. "The Brute Breaker"
is a powerful story of northern Cana
dian life, dealing with a girl who ad
mired brains rather than muscle and
with a man of preponderous strength
and kindness of heart.
m
Another of those beautiful, capable
heroines which F.lsie Ferguson por
trays so well on the screen is the
central figure in the star's new pic
ture, "Counterfeit," which will be
viewed at the Majestic theater to
morrow and until Friday midnight.
The story is said to be novel and
exciting, presenting Miss Ferguson
as a southern girl who, to re
plenish her family's failing for
tunes, secures a position in the se
cret service and rounds up a gang of
counterfeiters after a series of ex
citing adventures. The scenes are
laid in the sunny south, in ultra-fashionable
Newport, and on board a
yacht in the harbor of the famous
resort.
Supporting Miss Ferguson in the
chief male role is David Powell, a
well-known leading man, and the
rest of the cast includes Helene Mont
rose, Charles Gerard and Charle3
Kent. The scenario was made by
Oulda Bergere from an original storv
by Robert Baker. George Fitzmaur
ice was the director. It is a Para-mount-Artcraft
picture.
It is doubtful if Elsie Ferguson has
ever been more agreeably cast In a
screen play. Ouida Bergere has
crowded into the film practically all
the elements that belong in the suc
cessful photo-drama. There is a well
developed action leading easily to
climaxes that produce the requisite
thrill, more or less mystery envelops
the story, the love interest is well
sustained, and Miss Ferguson is given
the onnortunitv to wear some stun-
I nine gowns.
The picture has been fashioned
adroitly to fit the capabilities of the
star. This is far from meaning thai
"Counterfeit' doesn't force Miss Fer
guson to the full limit of her dra
matic prowess. There are moments
In - the picture which call upon her
to run the full gamut of the emotions.
As usual, she rises always to the oc
casion. The same atmosphere of
high-bred "class" that pervades all
the Ferguson films is again apparent.
Screen Gossip.
At the first executive session of
the producers' association held this
week Thomas II. Ince was elected
general manager and Mack Sennett
treasurer. The new organization will
be known as the Associated Produ
cers. The members of the new com
bine who were present at the elec
tion are Thomas H. Ince, Mack Sen
nett. George Loans Tucker, Marshall
Neilan, Allen Dwan and Maurice
Tournour.
The object of the organization is
to eliminate the middleman in dis
tribution. The rentals on combined
products are said to represent a to
tal of 20,000,000 annually.
The title of the Charles Ray pic
ture which has been referred to up
to date as "Watch Out. William," has
been chansed to "A Village Sleuth."

A large number of the cadets went
to their homes yesterday and others
will leave today. The big Christmas
dance' that was scheduled for next
Thursday will be postponed until early
in January when the invitational list
will be the same as that made up for
the holiday festivity that of necessity
is canceled.
The cadets had an assembly yes
terday and received official instruc
tions. They will resume their drill
rushed on a set of considerable mag-j
niture which will depict the whole of
the downtown section of a small
country village, containing all the
typical features, from the general
store to the combination livery stable
and garage where the one taxi in
the community is kept in a stall ad
joining the slower but more depend
able horses.
It was at first intended to use one
of several small towns in the vicin
ity of Los Angeles for the locale re
quired, but the iocation man, failing
to find one which met his exact re
quirements,, decided to reproduce the

Often one hears a spectator in a
photoplay theater remark upon the
beautiful costumes, or wonder how
film companies obtain old-style
clothes. There are stars and directors
and players and cameramen, but the
making of pictures does not lie wholly
within their hands. The great ward
robe rooms at the big Goldwyn stu
dios have on hand 5000 different and
separate complete costumes stored
Enough clothing to equip an army, or
a small city. There are 6125 hats of
all descriptions and 400 swords of
various periods.
Every day big orders come to the
manager of this busy department.
Mist Sophie Wachner. a well-known
costume expert who came west from
New York to manage this branch of
Goldwyn's big studios. Under her su
pervision are five seamstresses, one
tailor, a clerk and a messenger, with
five hairdressers or more, as the oc
casion demands. Her day starts at
8 o'clock and her time is valuable un
til well, after dinner time, and when
big things are going on she even
works nights and Sundays. v
An idea of the necessity of prop
erly "dressing" a picture can be ob
tained from the fact that an aver
age of 400 costumes are needed -for
each picture and must be fitted and
passed.
"
It took the presence of Ino. her
mate, to make Eno, the elephant em
ployed in the making of Madge Ken
nedy's new picture. "The Blooming
Angel," do her work properly.
At first Eno was taken out to the
studios alone. She wouldn't lie down.
She tried to eat up all the flour which
they put on her to make her appear
white. She trumpeted out loud notes
of wrath which made the movie mob
back up in consternation. The
trainer was at his wits' end. So were
the cameraman and the director.
The next day they took Ino out to
the studio, too. Eno went through
her part in the picture as meek as
a lamb. With a little coaxing from
the trainer she even did the "shim
my," to the vast delight of the crowd.
While Ino trumpeted inspiring music
Eno shook her huge sides and did a
grotesque fling and sidestep with her
left hind leg.
Madge Kennedy made friends with
both elephants. She fed apples im
partially to both Ino and Eno.

In the new Rex Beach picture,
"Going Some," Helen Ferguson wears
a lace shawl that has been in her
family, for nearly four hundred years.
It is black and of very curious de
sign. The texture is silken and yet
rather coarse, and has Interested a
number of collectors of odd fabrics
in the east. Miss Ferguson traveled
to the Pacific coast from New York
especially to take the part of Jean
Chapin in "Going Some." which will
be released aa an Eminent Authors

After a much needed and well
earned rest of about five weeks, Enid
Bennett will resume her work before

cause of the snow and cold weather,
was tne announcement of President
Carl G. Doney today, as the result of
a faculty committee meeting to decide
what action Bhould be taken. There
was no interruption in classes last
week but difficulties in heating and a
fuel shortage are responsible for the
lengthened Christmas holidays". The

departed for their homes and almost
all of them will leave in the next few
days. Classes will be resumed Jan

TRANSFER OF ROADS
JANUARY 1 UNLIKELY
Action by Congress First Be
lieved Necessary.
FUTURE STILL UNCERTAIN
Operators Are Proceeding With
Preparations for Sbift Expect-
m
ed to Come Eventually.
Will the railroads be released from
government control January 1?
That is the question that railroad
men are asking each other these
days, and there is a growing belief
that federal control must continue
until congress acts. The only of
ficial utterance on the subject was
the statement of the president to
congress in his recent message that
he would go Into details regarding
th- railroad situation in a later mes
sage. The Cummins bill and the Eech bill
were introduced in the eenate and
house with the apparent purpose of
bringing the questions involved to a
conference committee with a view to
securing the passage of a measure
before the end of 1919. that would as
sure the transportation systems such
protection as would enable them to
work out their own salvation. This
seems Impossible now, due to the in
terruption of the programme by the
Wisconsin senator who talked the
Cummins measure to death.
But preparation for resumption of
control have been made by some of
the corporations, and rumors are
floating around concerning action to
be taken by others. The Union Pa
cific has been foremost In formulat
ing its plans. Announcement of Rob
ert S. Lovett, president of the board
of directors, that the system line
will be unified in operation is in
harmony with previous announce
ments following the appointment of
Harry M. Adams as vice-president to
have charge of traffic.
Staff Changes Important.
Selection of Frank W. Robinson as
traffic manager of the Union Pacific
system lines is regarded as recogni
tion of efficiercy. Election of Carl
R. Gray as president brings to the
corporate head of the system an op
erating man of wide experience and
one who assisted in the operation of
the railroads under government con
trol, uerrit Fort, director of passen
ger traffic of the railroad adminis
tration, will return to the Union Pa
cific at the clo.se of federal control
as passenger traffic manager and
will brini, ac his assistant George
Basinger.
J- D. Farrell, vice-president and in
charge of corporate affairs of the
Union Pacific system during the war
period, will remain the executive at
the Portland Pacific coast terminal
of the system.
There is to be a conference of
Southern Pacific officials in San
Francisco during this week, at which
it is expected reorganization plans
for various departments will be out
lined. It is expected that William
Sproule will return to the presidency
of the corporation when relieved of
the position of federal manager of the
road. It is also gossip that W. R.
Scott will again become general man
ager under corporation control.
Directors Are Waiting;.
However, there is no official an
nouncement as yet regarding action
that may have been considered by the
directors. Julius Kruttschnitt, chair
man of the board of the company. Is
expected to attend the San Francisco
conference, and official announce
ment of plans may be expected. John
M. Scott, general passenger agent of
the Oregon lines, and H. A. Hinshaw,
general freight agent, are en route
to San Francisco to attend the con
ference. J. G. Woodworth, former Portland
man, now traffic assistant to R. L,
Aishton, northwestern regional di
rector, it is understood by Portland
friends, will return to the Northern
Pacific at the end of federal control,
as passenger traffic director.
It is the opinior of many traffic
officials that the consolidated ticket
offices will be continued for a time.
perhaps permanently in many cities.
There is some protest against having
only one office in some of the larger
cities, but visiting traffic men have
remarked upon the excellent manner
in which the consolidated offices have
been handled in the northwest pas
senger committee district, including
Portland. Seattle. Tacoma and Spo
kane offices. Less favorable com
ment has been heard regarding some
of the large eastern cities. There
is no doubt that it is more economical
rtor the railroads, but the outcome
will depend upon what may be the
views of passenger traffic managers
as to the character of competitive
effort for traffic after the roads are
again in private control.
Another topic of great interest is
the off-line offices to be opened. The
Missouri Pacific is the only road that
is reported to have takei. steps to
open offices in Pacific coast cities.
in preparation for action as soon as
the psychological moment arrives. It
is announced that a general agency
will be established by that company
at San Francisco, and others at Port
land and Los Angeles. Eastern
agencies also will be opened by the
same company, according to reports
received here.
BRANCH SERVICE IS RESC3IED
Traffic in and Out of Albany Re
ported Improving.
ALBANT. Or., Dec. 13. (Special.)
Train service on branch railroad
lines running from this city, inter
rupted from two to three days be
cause of the snow, has been resumed.
Passenger trains now are running on
all the branch roads, but freigrht
service has not been resumed and wili
not be for some time yet because the
company Is devoting its entire effort
to keeping up passenger service.
Trains on the Albany-Yaquina and
Albany-Detroit lines are behind the
schedule and make their way with
difficulty, but good service is main
tained on the Lebanon branch and by
trains which run from Albany to the
two ends of the Woodbum-Oak Ridge
branch, except on the extreme Oak
Ridge end of the line, where the snow
still is very deep.

Pipe Organ Strikes When
Mice Nibble Mechanism.
Instrument at Blnnlctpal Audito
rium Palls to Function When
The Storm" Reaches Crest.
LIKE many a prima donna, the big
$25,000 pipe organ In -the public
auditorium had an attack of temper
ament yesterday, with this difference:
tne suuty prima donna usually re
fuses to sing, and the auditorium or
gan refused to respond with sweet,
dulcet sounds when the organist
wanted to play a representation of a
storm-scene. The audience numbered
294 paid admissions.
The organist was Lucien E. Becker,
and he played with stirring effect,
organ selections by Bach, Jacobs Bond
and Meacham. Mr. Becker had just
begun to and was working hard to
produce the proper organ effects. In
interpreting the famous Lemmens
"The Storm." in which the composer
has pictured a storm, with musical
effects, when the unexpected hap
pened. The thunder had Just rolled,
the lightening crashed, the heavens
were darkened, the winds howled in !
music Then the organ quit.
Mr. Becker took the refusal of the I
big, thunder-like stops to play, with
good-natured philosophy. He played I
soft, light, pretty music Instead, a
"Minuet" (Boccherini) and pieces by I
Lemare, Morandt and Vincent. The
extra organ number was "A Venetian
Love Song" (Nevin) and It was charm
ingly rendered.
The vocal soloist was John Claire
Monteith, who sang with flno effect
and perfect diction, Handel's "Largo,"
"Roses of Picardy," and "The Road to
Mandalay," and one extra number,
"Believe Me If All Those Endearing
Young Charms." The musical pro
gramme was much liked and cor
dially applauded.
Then the organ expert had a brief
session with the sulky instrument. At
last, he said: "The trouble is annoy
ing, but easily rectified. Mice got
into the mechanism of the organ and
nibbled at important parts."
