THE 3I0RNIXG OREGOXTJLN', WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1922 HARMONY PREVAILS IN UMATILLA AGAIN Republican Party Solidarity ; Accomplished. STATE CHAIRMAN SPEAKS Mr. Tooze and Mr. Ingalls Pre '. sent Xeed of Voting Straight Ticket Invaders Scored. 1 PE.VDLETOX, Or.. Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) Out of a maelstrom of divided pinion current in Umatilla county since the primary election today, came complete harmony among the members of the republican party and particularly, members of the county central committee, when Walter L. Tooze Jr., state chairman of the republican state central com mittee, and C. E. Ingalls, secretary, presented forcefully the need for voting: a straight ticket. Several members of the county committee, which was at one time believed to have been captured by supporters of Charles Hall, testified following" the unanimous adoption of trie programme laid down by th state chairman that, although they worked and voted for Hall in the rrimary, they would stand firm their party faith and vote a straight ticket from governor to constable. Thanks Voted Officers. o enthusiastic was the support given the state officers of the party that a resolution of thanks was unanimously adopted by the assem biage thanking Chairman Tooze and Secretary Ingalls for their efforts to organize completely the party throughout the state. The state committee party arrived yesterday evening to make plans for today's events and a meeting of legislative candidates and holdover senators from all of the second con erressional district was called for this morning. - Practically all of the precinct committeemen of Umatilla county were prtjsent when Mr. Tooze and Mr. Ingalis urged party fidelity. "If w have two strong political parties in Oresron there, will be no chance for independents and non partisans. The importance of vot ing the entire republican ticket this year especially is that if Walter Pierce should be elected he will build up a democratic machine which will be difficult for us to break down." Secretary Ingalls declared Invader Are Attacked. Chairman Tooze opened an attack on those who sought to invade ranks of the republican party unfaithfully and declared that any person who changed his registration to have a voice in the republican party was morally obligated to stay in the party and see that the Republican candidate was elected.- - "Officers of this county central cqmmittee have given up their per sonal views and stand with the party or else they must resign from the service of the party in fairness to" all concerned." Mr. Tooze de clared. "We can, if necessary, clean our party from within, and v don't want any interference by those who have not the interests of the party foremost." .Invitation to republican women of the county to join in the active or ganization was approved. Senator Ritner declared, following the ses sion, that there' had been more good accomplished at this one session as to actual organization in counties, than has been accomplished in any campaign for the last 20 years and "it begins to look as though we were going to return to a party re sponsibility instead of irresponsible individual control which has weak ened the party in the past." BARN AND HAY BURNED Tillamook Dairy Farm Is Visited hy Spectacular Fire. TILLAMOOK, Or.. Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) A spectacular fire last night destroyed the large dairy barn on the A. G. Beals farm, formerly known as the Elmore farm, with 100 tons of hay. Spontaneous com bustion on account of the hay not beinff properly cured seems to have been the cause of the fire. The barn was insured for $1300 and the hay for 12000. This la the third lire loss Mr. Beals has met in three weeks, for his sawmill at Pleasant Valley, with a large quantity of lumber, was destroyed completely three weeks ago, and he had a mortgage on the Cloverdale hotel, which was de stroyed by fire two weeks ago. TWO PROJECTS PLANNED Xorth Bend to Vote on Commu nity Building and Public Bock. XORTH BEND, Or, Aug. 29. (Special.) North Bend has two projects In view which, it appears, cannot be separated, if either shall be approved. A certain element of the city desires a community build ing, and another class wants a pub lic dock. Estimates for the com munity building, submitted in a pe tition to the council, set the figures at $30,000, while the public dock ts expected to cost probably $75,000. The plan is to vote bonds for both and preliminaries are expected to b- in shape so that the Issues can go on the election ballot for November. !The Oregonian publishes practi cally all of the want ads printed in the other three Portland papers, in addition to thousands of exclusive advertisements not printed in any oeher iocal paper. : B3uejay to your druggist ; The siniplest way to end a ; corn is Blue-jay.

We Oregonians are holding tight to a hope that Virginia walks away with the prize. It wouldn't astonish anyone who has met her and talked with her. She is typically repre sentative of Oregon's young wom anhood, and she is undeniably beau tiful. Her eyes, are blue, of that rire azure blue and they Bmile fearlessly and with an honest little-girl-unafraid quality. Her .smile starts at her heart and" illumines her face. So many smiles are from the teeth out. Virginia's is real, and almost anything brings the smile, she's so sunshiny and happy. She has a lovely peach-pink skin, which colors and grows pinker when she gets excited. She has a lot of bright bronze gold hair, which she wears piled high. It has a natural wave in it ajid she likes to finish ner coiffure with an odd comb of some sort. Banquet Tendered Beauty.

Virginia sung a group of songs for her father's friends, for Tom Edwards as the prime and moving spirit in the Greater Portland association. Virginia sung as if she were at home, entertaining group of friends instead of on display before a group of 200 divers. Her voice is like herself, lovely, golden and sweet. She sings with unaffected charm, with ease and a great buoy ancy and a positive dramatic feel ing. The audience was quite na turally under the spell of her great personal charm and her singing moved them to enthusiasm. Reception Held at Home. After' the banquet the young Miss Portland hurried home and held ' a reception for her friends and a great many of her mother's and father's friends as well. Then she got her pretty self into one of th many loely dresses bestowed upon her by Portland merchants and ac- companied ' by a crowd ot friends. she whisked away to her train. Her mother is accompanying her and so is her aunt, Mrs. Sandford Whit ing, who is a sister of Mr. Edwards. She was a picturesque and vibrant figure. silhouetted against the gleaming lights at the station as she said au revoir to her young friends. Half Dozen Books Taken. Under her arm was a half dozen books. "See, mother," said Miss Portland, "Dad didn't forget my books." Curiosity prompted a peep fat the titles and those of you who hold to the erroneous belief that brains do not accompany startling beauty may be interested to know that Virginia Edwards, 17-year-old beauty and wholesome- young girl that she is, is carrying with her to beguile the tedious hours of train travel a library of French phil osophy, a treatise on applied psy chology, a much thumbed copy of the play "Abraham Lincoln," which she says she is reading a third time, some poetry and a new novel by Booth Tarkington. Yes, beauty is more than skin deep with Oregon's Virginia Ed wards. Among additional gifts to Miss Portland by leading Portland stores before she left the city were a pair of black patent leather ox fords with cut steel buckles, by the Knight Shoe company, and also a pair of brown oxfords with beaded buckles, by the Staiger Shoe com pany. Charles F. Berg presented silken ' hose, a much-appreciated gift. Olds, Wortman & King gave her a handsome bead bag of tan, with lavender, black, rose and green, a rose pattern being featured. Jaeger Bros, presented a blue silk umbrel la with amber tips and new model handle. The Swetland Candy com pany gave her a big box of delicious sweets and Nicklas & Son, florists, complimented Portland's beauty with flowers, which she wore at the banquet and also wore to the train.

WOMAN BOUND, REPORT 3IRS, COOPER TELLS ABOUT ALLEGED ATTACK. Police Skeptical Regarding Tale of Man Who Entered Rooms and Tied Housewife. For the third time within a week, Mrs. George Cooper, 02114 Union avenue. North, has been the victim of a brute who has attacked her and made as many attempted as saults, according to her hysterical story to police detectives yestewlay. Mrs. Cooper called Chief Jenkins and several auto loads of police and detectives to her apartment by reporting by telephone that the man had broken into her apartment and had bound and gagged her while she lay sleeping on a bed in the front room. She said she could not identify her assailant, as she was blindfolded before she could see him. After a thorough investigation police detectives were openly skep tical. The apartment was locked with a Yale lock which cannot be opened with a pass key. and police were unable to explain how the supposed assailant could enter. They also learned that the towej, rag and necktie which 'were used in binding and blindfolding her all belonged to her apartment. Her hands were tied in such a way, the police said, that it was easily pos sible for her to have done it her self. .

MO JIPRinSCT UILLL IV1LIM HDHNMU! INDUSTRY OF WEST Protection of Magnesite Tariff Stumbling Block. HOUSE DUTY HELD HIGH Manufacturers of East Declare Rates Put on Mineral Prod uct Higher Than Need Be. BY ARTHUR CRAWFORD (By Chicago'Tribune Leased Wire.) ARTICLE II. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 29. Desirability of the protection of Pa cific coast producers of a war min eral at the expense of the steel in dustry is at issue in one of the pro visions of schedule No. 2 of the tar iff bill now being adjusted in con ference. The house bill imposes a duty on magnesite which is satisfactory to the Washington ana California pro ducers. The senate bill reduces th rate to such an extent as to be lesi burdensome upon the steel industry which uses magnesite brick in its furnaces. The steel industry would have preferred that magnesite be left on the free list where it always has been, but figures that it will save considerably more than J1.000, U00 a year in its costs of production if the senate duty rather than the house rate is approved. War Independence Sought. As in the case of dyes, adequate protection of the domestic magne site industry is urged in order that the United States may be independ ent of other countries in the case of war. Prior to the war magnesite was not produced commercially the United States to anv extent Formerly the chief source of su'pply was Austria. War-time conditions encouraged the production of mag nesite in the state of Washington and also in California, the Wash ington product being used chiefly by the iron and steel industry, while the Califprnla magnesite has been used more for construction pur poses, one form of the material known as caustic calcined magnesite being -superior to ordinary cement. Because of the heavy freight charges on magnesite shipped from the Pacific coast to the centers of the steel industries in the east, high duty has been demanded. The ouse rate, according to the steel manuiacturers, not oniy imposes heavy burden upon them, but pro vides greater protection than is ac tually needed. House Duties Cut. A delegation of prominent steel manufacturers appeared before the senate finance committee, as a re suit of which the committee cut the house duties. The question was then fought out on the floor of the sen ate. The western producers, with the 'aid of the western agricultural tariff bloc senators, won out in com mittee of the whole, causing the sen ate to reject the finance committee amendments. Later in the senate proper the action was reversed on the motion of Senator Calder, New Y'ork, with the result that the bill a,s passed contains the reduced fi nance committee rates. The steel industry is most inter ested in what is described as dead- burned magnesite, on which the house bill imposes a duty of of 1 cent a pound. The senate duty is only .4 of 1 cent a pound. On caus tic calcined magnesite used for building purposes the house duty of 1 cent a pound, while the senate rate is of 1 cent. On crude magnesite the' house duty is of cent a pound, while the senate duty is 5-16 of 1 cent. The magnesite. which is imported in a" crude form, i not used in the manufacture of re fractory material for the steel in dustry, but goes mainly int the pro duction of the caustic magnesite. The magnesite question is one of a considerable number of points of controversy between the senate and house in schedule No. 2 relating to earths, earthenware and glassware. Obituary. Walter W. Hupt.
