Dur ing my term of office more than $98. 000.000 has been collected in the state for federal taxes and approximately $160,000,000 has been given in govern ment bonds or for charitable pur poses. During the war Oregon was In the front of the fray doing her part more and more. She was the first over the top In the liberty loan drives and in other war activities." D. K. Irvine Speaker.

Thurber Charges Eyes Were Hurt by Drinking Bootleg. His eyesight almost gone from the effects nf drinking vile moonshine, H. Thurber filed a suit unique in the records of the local court yesterday, when he demanded $3000 damages from George I'rotrka, alleged to be the bootlegger who sold him the con coction. From an able-bodied worklngman Thurber has been reduced almost to the status of a public charge and ob ject of charity through potions of a beverage represented to him as whole some and fit for drinking, he alleged. Bodily pains and a paralytic stroke affecting the optic nerves have re sulted from the consumption of a gal lon and a pint of moonshine pur chased, it was said, from Frotrka be tween September 14, 1921, and Octo ber 14. The liquor was paid for and was not supposed to contain poisonous substances, the exact nature of which are unknown to Thurber, it was as serted. The effect on his eyesight has been to make him 90 per cent blind, he charged in his suit. CAR TRACK REPAIR URGED Itesolutions Asking Oregon Electric to Act Prepared. Resolutions asking the Oregon Klectrlo company to employ a larger force of men In order more rapidly to put the tracks within the city. ofd by this company into shape, have been drawn by City Attorney tirant and will be presented to the city council by Commissioner Barbur. Mr. Barbur declared that the Ore gon Electric company had failed to repair track area In accordance with ar. agreement made with the city some months ago and that a consid erable portion now is in bad condi tion. The city recently filed an applica tion for a hearing before the public service commission with a view to forcing the 1'ortland Hallway. Light Ac Power company to repair its tracks. The company, however, has been working large forays and It is believed that by the time the appli cation can be acted upon by the public service commission the greater part of the repair work will have been completed. INTEREST INFAIR ROUSED People of East and Middle West Talking About Exposition. People of the east and middle west are talking of the 1925 exposition and already are making plans to come here, according to Louis W. Buckley, formerly of Portland, who Is visiting here after several years' absence. "All Portland has to do is to get up an exposition original In ideas and the people will flock here," said Mr. Buckley. "The people of the state should not hesitate to vote a tax to raise money for the exposition for the money they pay out will be returned to them ten fold through the benefits the state will derive." When here Mr. Buckley was a mem ber of the Rosartans. He also was interested in the livestock shows and had a prominent part in the work in behalf of the Alaska Yukon exposition in Seattle. He is accompanied by Mrs. Buckley. Since leaving here they have spent two years in South American coun tries. Orpheum mauaca today, li-:5-S0.-Ad. m a i ii r lis IV 1 TODAY'S FILM FEATfBES.

I lumbia, can be compared to no other motion picture ever shown here, because it is a produc tion unlike any other picture ever filmed. It Is fantastic and altogether strange, and yet these same qualities form its drawing power. In the cities where It 'has appeared recently It has drawn huge crowds. For It weeks Broadway film fans went to this unique production in New Tork. "Critics greeted the first New York showing of this picture with the assertion that it was worthy of a place among the most notable of our screen productions," declared an editorial in the New York Morning Telegraph. "While searching for the secret of "The Golem's" drawing power we are reminded that the story of the mythical giant of Jewish legend sur vives from the 14th century. Mothers and fathers have handed ' it down from generation to generation as a tradition of a great race. It is one of those stories whose truth is eternal." The story of this mysterious pic ture Is baaed on an ancient legend. "The Golem," according to tradition; is e good-natured giant, who is the slave of man, but who, when his use fulness la fulfilled, can also become a source of terror and destruction. The scene of the story is laid In the medieval city of Prague. The Em peror Kudolph decides to extermin ate the Jewish ghetto and sends his envoy with the edict to High Rabbi Loew. The rabbi, who has read of approaching disaster to his race in the stars, puts' the finishing touches to a clay statue, "The Golem," which he has created and brings to Ufa by means of a secret formula. The manner In which this strange creature holds the falling roof and wails of the castle and allows the em peror and his court to escape, and rhen spreads terror through the city, forms the climax of the story. The creature is finally deprived of life by a little child, who plucks the "star of life" from the breast of the mon ster. Hundreds take part in the street scenes. Settings and costuming faith fully portray the medieval atmosphere and the acting is of uniform excel lence. Screen Gossip. Gus A. Metzger, manager of the Rlvoli theater and one of the three members of the city board of censors, 3 a firm believer In "better pictures." He is nt convinced, however, that the public really wants the best and most artistic productions. His ex perience this week In showing George STATE CONCLUDING CASE V SOUTHARD TRIAL TESTIMONY MAY BE FINISHED TODAY. Evidence for Defense Not Expected to Take More Than Week ; Fath er of Dead Men Witness. TWIN FALLS. Idaho. Oct. 18. The state expects to conclude its testi mony tomorrow in the case of Lyda Meyer Southard, alleged poisoner of husbands. Evidence for the defense, it is believed, will not occupy more than one week. Witnesses for the state told today of conversations with the defendant during and after the Illness of Ed ward Dooley, her husband, and his brother Robert, In 1915. C. D. King, Twin Falls rancher, tes tified that Mrs. Southard expressed concern to him over the possible ac tion of the parents of the Dooleys, who, she said, might order the bodies exhumed. She said W. J. Trueblood, her father, had paid money to an attorney to discourage any attempt to disinter the bodies, acoording to King. Alfonso D. Dooley of Keytesvllle. Mo, father of Robert C. and Edward Dooley, respectively, first husband, and brother-in-law of the defendant, told of many conversations with the defendant at the time of each of the funerals of his two sons.

"Dis raeli" is without question one of the best pictures ever offered to Portland audiences. Mr. Arliss, famous actor, has brought to this screen version all the skill and force which made this perhaps his most successful play on the legitimate stage. Every member of his company is excellent in his part, the story Is thrilling and ab sorbing and the settings elaborate. Actual box office receipts, however, show that this picture has done Just half as much business for the theater each day as the picture, shown at this theater last year at this time. Last year the picture for this week hap pened to be Dustin Farnura in "Big. Happiness." It drew twice as many patrons to the theater. Mr. Metzger, who himself believes In better pic tures," is wondering just why the public does not support that sort of production when it does come to this city. e Twenty film stars were among the guests of honor Monday night at the opening of ttie new Loew State the ater in Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Loew took the stars in a special car from New Tork to Buffalo for the opening of the theater. Mayor Buck, city of ficials and various civic clubs were in the reception party. Among the screen stars at the opening of the new theater were Mae Murray, Eugene O'Brien, June Caprice. Hope Hampton, Margarita Marsh, Maude Marsh, Kenneth Harlan, Audrey Maple. Betty Browne, Lillian Walker and Diana Allen. Charles Ray's next picture will be "Smudge,"- a story by Rob Wagner, who wrote "R. S. V. P." for Mr. Ray. The casting of "Smudge" already has been begun, while work on the con tinuity of the picture is also pro gressing. Ora Carewe will play tbe principal role opposite Mr. Ray. Miss Carewe is a Salt Lake City girl. Rif, has one of two more minor scenes to do on his latest picture, "The Deuce of Spades," adapted from the story by Charles E. Van Loan, author of Ray's most successful recent picture, "Scrap Iron." "The Deuce of Spades" will go into the cutting room In a few days, where work is now about completed on "Gas, Oil and water," a story of the Mexican border. Porter Emerson Browne, the play wright, whose "The. Bad Man," In which Holbrook Blinn starred, has been one of the big successes of the stage, has written a photo-play In which Richard Barthelmess will be the star. The story deals with a young sailor from the Maine coast and a city-bred society girl. Henry King, who directed Mr. Barthelmess in "Tollable David." will direct this picture. Miss Louise Huff, who was leading lady for George Arliss in "Disraeli," la to play opposite Mr. Barthelmess. e Australia is also having censor ship agitation. The film reformers there have changed the title of Lloyd Ingraham's "Twin Beds" to "A Sleep less Night" despite the fact that the stage version of the famous farce toured entire Australasia recently under Its original name. A In her next screen story, Bebe Daniels will be seen as a boy. The play was especially written for her by Nina Wilcox Putnam. fendant told him, constituted the com bination which killed Edward, in which view Edward's brother, Robert G, Joined. I Greens, of whicn Robert C. was very fond, were mentioned by the de fendant as a likely cause of 'he death of the latter two months later. Ty phoid was suspected by tne attending physician to have been the cause of the illnes early in the case, but be fore his death the doctor did not know what was the matter with Robert C, the witness testified. These and many other statements, covering a wide range of speculation, were attributed to the defendant by witnesses during today's session of the case. Poison figured in one conversation between the defendant and the father of the two Dooleys. At the time of the second funeral. In October, 1915, and Just after the obsequies, Mr. Dooley said on the witness stand that Lyda said to him that Robert "ate some greens and got his dose right there." "Why. Lyda, what sort of a dose?" the witness declared he replied, to which the defendant answered, "there must have been some kind of poison In the greens." The witness said there was no men tion of typhoid between himself and the defendant in discussing the death of Robert C. Dooley. Expert Advice Given Life. Playwright Sometimes I doubt whether this play will be a success. Manager Nonsense! It has no plot, it abounds In cheap sentimental ity. It Is vulgar in spots and the scen ery is fine; It can't help but succeed. They talk yet of tbe change that came over Jones. Some said it was psychology. Some said it was a miracle. All said it was a mystery. When they naked Jones, he said it was liberation from slavery slavery to the frying pan, and to grease and starch. Jones used to take his breakfast fried, and followed this with a heavy lunch. In those days they said at the office : "Old Jones has a secret sorrow and he's sore on the world.7 One day Jones started late no time for the usual break fast to be cooked. Jones had a breakfast on Grape-Nuts with good cream. He was delighted with the crispness and rich flavor. Felt satisfied and "fed." Tried it again at lunch. Kept on breakfast ing that way often lunching, too. Jones began to "perk up," talk up, step up GET up. "Let Jones show you how to do this," they began to say at the office. As to Jones he said: "That's a great food GRAPE NUTS." There are thousands of Joneses, both kinds reckless feed ers and wise feeders.

Knocked Overboard by Boom. WEIRD SEA TALE SPUN Anton C. Krofh Lodged In Jail Upon Return of Stolen Yawl Spendrift to Port. SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Qct. 18. A wlerd story of the sea with a piratical touch was unfolded here today, when the yacht Spindrift, the property of Lieutenant-Commander Eugene Overton of the United States naval reserve force, was brought Into port under guard and the sole person aboard, Anton C. Krogh, was lodged in Jail to await the action of federal authorities. The Spindrift, stolen from San Pedro September 26, was picked up off the Todos Santos Islands, 50- miles south of this' port, this morning by Captain E. Edwards and L. Keating, the crew of the fishing boat Colleen. The Spindrift was towed into port. When placed In Jail, Krogh related the story of how he came to be aboard the Spindrift as captain and crew master of all he surveyed. Krogk Seafaring Man. Krogh, a seafaring man. said that he had met a man In San Pedro a few days before the Spindrift left the northern port, and that this man of fered him $20 if he would ship aboard the Spindrift for a run to San Diego. Krogh agreed and the trip, as he pre sumed, to San Diego was begun. He soon learned, he says, that tbe vessel was not on a course for thta port and when he spoke of this the master said that he Intended to take the Spin drift to Honolulu. Krogh said he agreed and that when the yacht was 600 miles out of San Pedro the skipper, whose name Krogh says he never learned, was knocked overboard by a swinging boom and drowned. Krogh says he knew enough about navigating to steer a course near the coast line. Vessel Acta Queerty. The Spindrift was first sighted off the Santos Todos islands two days ago by the crew of the Colleen. Cap tain Edwards said that he formed the opinion that the Spindrift was not manned by a 'deep water sailor and that he and Keating decided she was either under-manned or was adrift. They boarded the Spindrift. They were soon convinced that It was the yacht reported stolen from San Pedro and with Krogh offering no resistance they towed the yacht Into port and turned Krogh over to the authorities. The Spindrift is classified as an auxiliary yawl. It is a two-master, 66 feet over all. with a 13-foot beam and has power as well as canvas. The Spindrift was built at this port and was formerly the Yankee .Girl, being well known In Pacific coaet waters. A search of the stolen boat this after noon dieclosed that It was well pro visioned. No liquor or other contra band was found aboard, the searchers reported. Ex-Goldendaie Man Promoted. GOLDENDALE. Wash. Oct. 18. (Special.) George W.
