S ii' AGED BEDSPREAD1 SHOWN Oregon ian Writer Bares Intimate Details of Trip to County Exposition. BY ADDISON BEXNETT. ' The opening day of the great Mult nomah county or Gresham fair was sunny yesterday, and there are few places I would more dislike to. be than at the opening day of this or any other fair in its making. Neigh bor Jones is unloading his "punkins" and squashes; Neighbor Smith is pil ing up his cabbages; Neighbor Bryan, with tears in his eyes, is grinding his horseradish, and Neighbor Brown is quarreling with the secretary about an aJleged overcharge. So as the first day about all the truthful chronicler can do is to look at the few things that are finished, and fortunately I can state that the eight granges of the county that usu ally occupy a large share of the pub lic eye are all in place. I will name them in the order of their location in the show building: Pleasant Valley, Columbia, Russellville, Evening Star, Lents, Gresham, Kockwood and Mult nomah. Rivalry Kern Each Year. Every year there is a great rivalry for the coveted first place and the appended honorarium of $100 among these granges. Last year Russellville took the gonfalon and coin, this year I wish I knew! But, like a petit jury, only the Lord knows how the judges are going to decide. Aside from the granges there are 7ree outside exhibits brouerht here Mntact from the state fair Coos county. Washington caunty and Mor row county. There are other exhibits well worth eeeing; for instance, there is Edyth Tozier Weatherell, who is one of the directors of the fair. Well. I did not mean to say that she is well worth seeing, although she decidedly is, but I meant that the department over which she presides is, for she always stirs' the exhibitors to bring in their exhiiiits. 'But her department, which embraces I think canned goods, fancy work, needle work, art work, etc.. is going to be by tomorrow well, mighty well, worth seeing. If you have J500 to invest, you might find a big bargain in a bed spread hanging in the art room. It was made in Gresham 30 years ago by Mrs. Alice McAllister and her mother. They took the wool in the grease, worked it. carded it. spun it, dyed it and on a hand loom made this a work of art, aye, a veritable work of art. If I had $500 that was not working I would buy that bedspread. It is well worth a trip from Portland to the fair Just to view and admire it. Race Track In Poor Shape. The race track Is a quagmire. It is more fitting for a promenade for frogs and mudhens than for horse racing. But today the judges say it will be in fine shape if If! Darn that if. Why. it rains in this section -ithout invitation, suggestion, provo cation or excuse and when it rains tt rains very wet. Like It did at Sa lem. Even the Roundup this year had weaUier a trifle moist. But there Is quite a difference between the Wil lamette valley and the Umatilla val ley. Every year the Gresham fair brings together a fine lot of livestock, par ticularly dairy stock. I think this year It will be bigger and better than ever. I will know tomorrow. One full barn is taken up by a horse dealer about 30 head of draft horses, mules and jacks. I would rather see 30 boys and g'rls each bring in a lamb, a pig, a calf or even a rabbit. Speaking of rabbits reminds me that the tent "housing" the poultry and petstock is well worth visiting. The hens particularly are mighty gay and mighty proud, as they should be with eggs 80 cents a dozen. The turkeys are gay and happy and Christmas coming along with turkey meat 50 cents a pound! Today s another day. If all goes well I will be out there and go more into details, because there will be more details, for the fair will be mostly "in place." CITY URGED TO GO TO FAIR BAKER WAXTS EVERY PORT. K IUANDER to visit gresham. Exhibits Are Better Than Ever Be fore, Says Mayor; County Folk Support Rose Festival. Support of the Multnomah county fair, which opened at Gresham yes terday, by the attendance of every resident of Portland is urged by Mayor Baker, who in a statement holds that Portland Is duty-bound to crown the Multnomah county fair with success. " According to Mayor Baker, the county fair is one of the few oppor tunities of citizens living within the city limits of Portland of becoming acquainted with the work of' the resi dents of the county who live Just beyond the gates of the city. "Every person in Portland should take the time to attend the county fair some time this week. From what 1 have been told by directors of the fair, the exhibits this year are better than ever before and better entertainment has been provided If this be true, one visit will call for an other, perhaps. "But it is of extreme importance that we support this enterprise by our attendance. When Portland stages its Rose Festival each year and similar affairs. It invites and expects the attendance of the people who live in the territory surround ing our city. Almost every person who lives in Portland is the daily consumer of products raised in Multnomah county The county fair will give evexvone an opportunity of seeing such prod ucts on exhibition and perhaps gain ing a better idea of what is being done in agriculture and industrial lines around us each day, but of which the average person has little knowledge. "Let's get acquainted with home-grown and home-manufactured products." 4 Albany Enters Debating League. ALBANY, Or.. Oct. 4.

SERVICE is a new member of the Alaskan literary family to reach the screen. "The Law of the. Yukon," a Charles Miller production showing this week at the Rivoli theater, is an attempt and an extremely successful attempt to put into photoplay form the action discribed in one. of ServicVs longer poems, bearing the same title. Quota tions from" the poem form many of the titles used, but Charles Miller has cleverly allowed many original touches of humor and pathos to creep around Service's stirring plot. Real ism in the Alaskan snow scenes has been skillfully maintained through out the entire drama. Alaskan "types" are in their element in this play which is exceptionally well cast. Nancy Deever and Ed ward Earle; as Goldie Meadows, and Morgan Kleath, editors of the- first Yukon newspaper, are by virtue of their roles the leading characters, but Thomas O'Malley as Barney McCool simply runs-away withall honors. Barney McCool is an Irishman, a "Dimmycrat" politician and a man big of heart and true of soul. He adopts Kleath when he arriv&s from "outside" and in so doing comes into the position of chaperon, house keeper, nurse. political editor and general guardian angeL His quaint sayings and kindly acts radiate through the production and -make more possible its, stern Yukon' philosophy of physical fitness. R. Clint Montgomery is being featured at the Rivoli this week as both singer and dramatist. He sings in pleasing tenor. "The Heart of a Rose" and follows it with a reading of Robert W. Service's "The Shoot ing of Dangerous Dan McGrew."- Sal vatore Santaella has taken special pains In selecting musical composi tions for the accompaniment of "The Law of the Yukon." During a scene in which "Tess." one of the pathetic characters whom the Yukon spurned because of her weakness, is found frozen, the Rivoli orchestra, under his' direction obtains dramatic strength by playing Solvig's song of hope and despair from "Peer Gynt." Screen Gossip. Frank Mayo has one of the most difficult roles of his screen career in the role of Billy Thorpe In "The CONTRACTS KEPT DOWN CITY IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED IX TEAR. Fluctuating Costs Cited by Com missioner for Holding Back Programme. The public improvement programme for 1921. so far as the city of Port land is concerned, will not be larger than contractors can complete. With this determination in mind City Commissioner Barbur yesterday instructed City Engineer Laurgaard to prepare an immediate survey, which will show-the contracts hereto fore let, but not completed, and also the approximate amount of work which can be completed during 1921. Downward trend of prices is Com missioner Barbur's reason for delay ing contracts which cannot be con cluded within a year. - "This summer was bad for contrac tors, so far as work was concerned," said Commissioner Barbur. "Incle ment weather caused delays and as a result there are large numbers of im provement projects, for. which con tracts were let months ago. which will not be completed until the latter part of next summer. "During the war improvement work, except the very essential, was halted. It took almost a year after the armis tice before we launched into the big programme which made 1920 the first year that street and sewer improve ment work has been going forward at a fast pace. "I am opposed to letting contracts at present prices unless the work can be completed within a reasonable length of time. No one is In a posi tion to Know prices which will pre vail two years from now." Commissioner Barbur has requested that the survey be presented Xo him prior to the budget hearings, and it is possiDie, he says, that as a result i of the findings, in this survey he may I K a K1 . ; - ' " i-v vi hh uis requests ior ap propriations.

A rand jury may ba caliad adapted Trom the poem of the line this week at the Majestic theater. Throwback," his latest feature, writ ten and directed by Jacques Jaccard. In this 'Story the author advances a theory that morality is a matter of location, environment and hereditary influence rather than dependent upon one's personal inclinations. To illustrate this point he takes the character of Billy Thorpe, who - is worthless and a ne'er-do-well at col lege, a failure in business and trans ports him to the rubber country of South America. Here, among primi tive surroundings, he finds himself and becomes a man. At the height of his success he is opposed by certain forces, which cause him-to revert to type and to sink to the lowest levels of morality. To portray this role Frank Mayo must assume three different personali ties, yet retaining the same underly ing characteristics. It is said that some women - are "catty" by nature, some by attain ment and some by inspiration. Those who have seen Prlscilla . TJean,: the motion picture star who made such a hit in "The Virgin of "Stamboul" and is now taking the stellar role In "Outside the Law." may be under the impression Priscilla is "catty" by nature. They are wrong, for in real life Miss Dean displays no feline char acteristics. Still, some women are catty by in spiration, so this may account for Miss Dean's remark not long ago when a certain young lady whose name has been linked with that of a popular screen idol said: "No actor for me, the man 1 marry must be a hero." . "My dear," remarked Miss Priscilla sweetly, "I am sure be will be." Of interest to her many admirers is the news from Joseph De Grasse, director . of Charles Ray's produc tions, that Pauline Bush, former cinema star, is now in New York col laborating in adapting to screen form, with a well-known author, the latter's works for the screen. Nell Shipman. whose "God's Coun try and the Woman," was one of the most popular of films, which showed last year at the Liberty the ater, has begun a new outdoor fea ture, "The Girl From God's Country." When the announcement was made that Charles Bay's next picture pro duction would Jte James Whitcomb Riley's immortal poetic gem. "The Old Swimming Hole." numerous boy and girls besieged his studio, in the hope that there would be a chance in the scene for them to show their prowess as swimmers. There will be in fact.

SAMUEL HAMILTON. better, Avoid too much meat, alcohol or tea. Drink plenty of pure water, preferably hot water, before meals, and drive the uric acid out of the system by taking "An uric" (anti-uric-acid) . This can be obtained at almost any drug store. ' Send a bottle of water to the chemist at Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., and you will receive free medical advice as to whether the kidneys are affected. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick-headaches, dizzy spells, or twinges and pains of lumbago,, rheumatism or gout; or sleep is dis; turbed two or three times a night. Take heed, before too late! pet Anuric (anti-uric-acid), for it will put new life into your kidneys and your entire system. Ask your nearest druggist for it or send Dr. Pierce ten cents for trial packasre of "Anuric" . PEDERSON BONDSMEN TO REVISE- CLAIMS $7000 Interest Charges. to Be Waived. COUNCIL ASKS LEGALITY Backers Kf Auditorium Bnilder De clare Request to Have Matter Settled in Court Cnfair. - Legal representatives of N. A. Schanen and J. F. Kelly, bondsmen of Hans Pederson. auditorium builder, yesterday agreed to work out a re vised claim to be presented to the council for consideration. Jay Bowerman. one of the attor neys for the bondsmen, announced that equity In stock in a steel cor poration turned over to the bondsmen by Mr. Pederson could now be dis posed of for approximately 112,000 and that the bondsmen would be will ing to deduct this 'amount from the claims as" recommended by the arbi tration committee. In addition Mr. Bowerman agreed to waive interest charges amounting to more than $7000. saying that the bondsmen had not required interest when presenting their claims. Jadsneat Would Blaal - Council. Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson advised the council that tf the courts returned a judgment against the city in the case the council would be le gally bound to pay the bill. He also advised that if a charter amendment authorizing payment of the bill was approved by the voters the question of legality would be solved. Mayor Baker and Commissioners Barbur, Pier and Mann were all dis posed to pay the claims, providing the council could do so legally. : . Commissioner Bigelow refused to change his position, stating that he would give no recognition to the claims. He stated the bondsmen should enter the court and begin liti gation to determine the amount the city owes on the claims, if any. Contend Position Unfair. : The position, the bondsmen contend, is unfair tn view of the report filed by a committee appointed by the city council. In making this report the bondsmen point out that an exhaust ive study was made In connection with 23 hearings and that the bonds men should not be forced to expend the money to repeat such hearings In the courts. However, the claimants are willing to enter court to determine If the city can legally pay the claim or-are will ing to submit the claims to the vot ers for ratification.

Reporters Invited' to Hear Case Called "Framed," and "Travesty on Justice." First taking precaution to send all newspapers of Portland written Invi tations to have representatives pres ent in the court of Circuit Judge Iav anaugh when he was sentenced, -as he intended to "air his views on Oregon justice, which can consign a man to the penitentiary on 'general princi ples' or a bad record," Charles White, convicted forger, delivered a half hour oration yesterday morning. At Its conclusion. Judge Kavanaugh re marked, laconically, "Five years." "Monied interests, bankers' organi zatons and fraternal organizations of Portland" conspired to place him be hind the bars. White told the judge. He had forged Shrine identification cards in his possession when arrested, shortly before the Shrine convention, as well as a forged letter of credit fot J50.000. White was an attorney in Chicago at one time but had been disbarred. "With all due respect to the court, my trial was a travesty on justice," he said. "It was framed simply to show that I had been a bad man and therefore that I intended to be a bad man in the future. In Oregon the statutes are so corrupted and poluted that it Is possible to send a man to the penitentiary for what was pre sumed to be his intentions and not because of acts already committed. I It is because of the war that the perfect physical man has all at once become the idol of the world. You can make of yourself, even rather late in life, almost anything you like. You are not going to get fit in one day, one month, or, perhaps, a year, unless you take enough outdoor exercise to keep the circulation going and practise the athlete's first principle to keep the system clean. He does not give his body a chance to absorb poisons. He not only takes his cold shower, after exercise, but he knows a cleansing of the intestines is important, and be takes occasionally a good regulator and liver cleanser, such as a dose of castor oil, or, what is much a tiny pill made up of, May-apple,, aloin and jalap, and sold by almost an druggists ' in the land as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. , Keep the kidneys in good order also.

Mazola being an absolutely pure vegetable oil, blends the ingredients perfectly and imparts its own delicate flavor td the dressing which will keep for weeks without separating.
