Plans are now under way to en fnge the Oregon irrigation congress more actively in development work of the state, according to announcement of Portland men in attendance at the eleventh annual session which closed at Pendk-ton Saturday. Through paid assistant secretary, with offices In Portland, the organiaztion will un dertake colonization work on assured projects. This is a step deemed as vital as actually turning the water upon the land. The Irrigation congress, co-operat ing with the Oregon state chamber of commerce, will begin to work out some plan to aid in attracting set tlers either from the east or from the better developed sections of Oregon to the irrigated lands, according to Thomas A. Sweeney, local member. An effort will be made to provide sums on easy terms that will enable settlers to make a start In the dis tricts. It Is probable that attempts will be made to co-ordinate the ef fort with the state bonus act or to sreure government aid in placing set tlers. Information to Be Compiled. The office of assistant secretary will be established when the executive board meets in Portland early in the year. In addition to putting forward the colonization work, the assistant secretary will compile information on the various projects of the state for circulation emong bond hous-s and chambers of commerce of thj country. The state of development work in each project, the activit'es of the settlers and other points of in terest In connection with the irriga tion districts will be noted. New rules of the congress prov'de that the executive board shall meet with the assistant secretary in Port land every 90 days to decide upon matters of policy and advance the work as rapidly as possible. Reclamation Prospects Bright. The congress adjourned In the most optimistic sp'rit that has prevailed lor some time, local men say. The present international situation looks good for the passage of the McNary &mlth bill by congress, and the funds which it will provide will assure progress In putt'ng through Oregon Irrigation work. The experlmont of holding the con gress In districts where actual lrrl gut ion work is under way has proved successful and will be continued. Bend and the central Oregon couDtry will be inspected next year. The congress probably will convene in October w'th a session schedule that will permit extensive InsDeetion trips.

Thank you. Very sincerely yours, M. H. I think you must mean "Napoleons' but I am not quite sure what you have in mind. However, I am pretty sure that the puff pastry, as you describe it, will be baked in three sheets, put together with fillins, and flat icing, then cut (skill is needed as well as the right kind of knife) and "piped" individu ally. You might find it easier to bake the pastry in a sheet, cut into oblongs of suitable size, and then put together and Ice individually, but this takes much longer and is less neat. Tne pastry needs to be carefully picked over with a biscuit docker before baking to secure even rising of the sheets. Let me know if you need re cipes for "mock cream," puff pastry or mocha cream Icing. have the allover trim.

Madame Richet: I am wondering- if you can supa-fnt a way to make over an old style sJtt. like naifiple? The Jacket In semi-fit ting., made eisht or nine years as;o. The skirt Is three-piece, fitting- smooth around the hips, but has three rather wide pleats in It. I thought of making a jumper with flowing crepe de rhlne sleeves and putting embroidery or beading on. 1 shall be very grateful for any idea you may give me. A READER. A READER, Marral, Or.: The jumper effect is bo generous in Its scope for-the Velvet and gingham rave an equally attractive place in its delightful line. You do not state your age or color ing, but If becoming, why not have the blouse of Copenhagen blue made on the slipon type and carrying an allover design done in the dark blue nufloss and sil-ver thread; do not slight the sleeves in the design, whether they ba kimona. or the set in. WOODBt'RN, Ore., Dee. 12. Dear Madame Richet: I have yards of navy blue serge 64 Inches wide. Would you kindly suggest a becoming way to make and trim it? I am 47 years old. 5 feet 6 Inches tall and weigh. 11H) pounds. Have dark hair and blue ej-es, not very much color. 1 surely enjoy your suggeatlve articles each day. Thanking you for any help you may give me. 1 am yours truly. MRS. T. M. MASON. Mrs. T. M. Mason, Woodibum. Ore.: With the amount of material you have I would suggest a dress having the bloused line joined to which Is the rather full and straight skirt with a bottom width of not less than one and seven-eighths yards. The sleeve can become the ."high note" of your frock for this season is giving to the sleeve a long-needed place In the Im portance of the total count. Let your shoulder line come rather low, and should you care for a colorful' touch I would advise that you join there on a bell-shaped sleeve of a contrast ing shade, such as henna or a bright er red. Should you not fancy this mode of treatment, then at least have, the lower half of the brighter color. Have a square neck on the left side of which place a three-Inch band, three inches wide and nine Inches ong, carrying an all-over design done In henna or red silk, according to the choice you make In the mate rial combination. The additional use of steel beads would greatly enhance the appearance of the dress. On the skirt have six points in a design of about eight Inches at the bottom and running to a point at the top. This treatment will give to your skirt the panel line and you will find It most tffective. A narrow girdle of the blue serge will be sufficient and rather short ends and loops. Should the above given combination seem too gay, would then use a black satin sleeve and do the embellishing In henna soutache and steel beads. Will be pleased to be of further help to you. YowAefivifi ley GERVAIS. Or.. Dec. 12. Dear Madame Richet: As I have been moat wonderfully helped by you, I am writing again. I am inclontng sample and sketch of pattern for a lady in the fifties, weighs near 200 pounds, but has 'a good figure and Is medium In height. Do you think this pat tern appropriate? ' What should I use for vest? and what for trimming? Yours truly, R. R. Gervals, Or.: Am so pleased that you have derived help through this department and trust that the follow ing suggestions will prove of equal value: The enclosed style of dress Is splen did and would suggest that you make the vest of brown satin to match the material, for the lesser color contrasts are best chosen for the more gener ous figures. Would eliminate the button trim on the vest, as the cross lino but adds to the width. For the trimming of a dress having the stripe such as yours. I would advise the run ning stitch done in the gold and silver threads, using them in alternating scheme around neck and vest line. The sleeve edges and skirt can be most effectively trimmed by employ ing a more conventional design, as the scroll is not particularly good with the stripes.

Beebe, a young man reared near Lebanon, will go to trial for his life In the state circuit court here to morrow. He will face a cnarge of murder in the first degree for the al k Killing oi jonn Painter, on whose farm seven miles northeast of Lebanon Beebe was employed when i-ainter disappeared. Theie is a sec ond indictment against Beebe, also charging murder in the first degree, oasea on tne death of William Pain ter, 19-year-old son of John Painter, Independent of the outcome of tha trial on the John Painter indictment KMoe win not De tried on this charire at this term of court. Judge. Kelly of this city, one of the two Judges of the third Judicial dls trict, will preside at the trial. The prosecution win be directed by L. G, Lewelling, district attorney of Linn county, and Beebe will be defended by Gale S. Hill of Albany, who was ap- pointea oy tne court. Case to Re Called Monday. The case will be called for trial at 10 o clock Monday morning. Because of the interest the case has aroused it is expected that a large crowd will attend the trial. Many people from Lebanon and vicinity, who have known the Beebe and Painter families for years, are known to be planning to attend. Many people will go to the trial to see and watch Beebe, who was blind 16 years of his life and who regained his sight only two years ago Beebe has been a mystery from the time or his arrest. inougn ne win race trial on a charge the maximum penalty of which Is death on the gallows, Beebe has shown no concern. Either Beebe is in nocent or he has an abnormal person amy, ior ne nas shown neither re morse over the affair nor concern in the outcome of the case. Seemingly ne is not shamming the apparent un concern. This attitude of the prisoner was noticed first at the time the bodies of John Painter and his boy were re moved from a grave in the edge of tho timber on the Painter place. He stood as an Interested spectator in the crowd as the two badly decomposed oodles were taken from the grave in which Beebe admits he placed them, The only times he has broken down at all he seemed to be protesting al the Injustice of confining him in Jair rather than as a result of remors over the crime with which he is charged. Prisoner Sticks to Story, urricers assert they have a ease against Beebe, based on strong cir cumstantial evidence. They expect to present facts which they assert are conclusive that Beebe is the slayer of the two men. Beebe, however, since his arrest has clung consistently to s story that the elder Painter killed his own son and then committed suicide and that he (Beebe) buried the bodies and told a story that the boy had gone to California and the father to Penn sylvania, his old home, at the request of his employer to hide the alleged fratricide.

In 1857 the block now occupied by the Portland Hotel was purchased for one thousand dollars and the Central School, pictured above, was erected on that spot. It is interesting: to note that today this same piece of property is conservatively estimated to be worth one million dollars. School records of 1860 show an attendance in Portland's schools of 716, as compared with 43,767 at the present time. Prominent on Portland's earlier school boards, Mr. W. S. Ladd, one of the founders of Ladd & Tilton Bank, is remem bered as one who helped to lay the foundation for Portland's splendid school system. It is but natural that in view of this, Ladd & Tilton Bank and its personnel should and do feel a more than ordinary interest in Portland's educational advancement; in fact the same mig-ht be said of every movement which fosters the interests of the community, for Ladd & Tilton Bank has been, a constructive influence in its development through a period of more than three-score years.

Although the efforts of the entire criminal department force of the of flee of Sheriff Hurlburt have been directed toward tracing the murder of John Arthur O'Conner, whose body was found yesterday hiden in a po tato bin in his home near Hayden island, not even a clew has been uncovered. The body was found by Deputy Sheriff Bert. The throat had been cut from ear to ear. Since O'Connor came to Portland from The Dalles, his shack home not far from the Interstate bridge has been a refuge for many hoboes. The officers suspect that one of them killed the man and robed him, of his small savings. For several weeks O'Connor had been looking forward to the arrival of his son, John Arthur O'Connor Jr., from Coblenz, Germany, where he has been serving for some time as a mem ber of the American forces across the Rhine.
