THEFT IS STILL MYSTERY Wells-Fargo Detective Balked In Tracing Meyers Robbery. C. Cain, the Wells-Fargo Express Com pany's detective who is working on the robbery of the package or valua&ie papers belonging to Joseph Meyers from the Union Depot office of the company re cently, was in Salem again yesterday but whether he gained any additional Infor mation regarding the daring theft is un known. He "has not yet received Infor mation sufficient to warrant making an arrest and it Is believed that he will re turn to San Francisco within a short time. Since the members of the Meyers fam ily have -patched up their difficulties. It Is said to be hard to get any information from them regarding their suspicions about the robbery. The express company officials will not say that they suspect the Meyers boys, who, at the time the package disappeared, were hotly opposing their father in his second marriage, Dut they believe that the whole Meyers fam ily could help in the hunt if they were disposed to. Now that the breach, be tween the father and his sons has' been healed, neither side seems to be Interested In pushing the case. This Is the status or the matter at pres ent and the truce that has been declared In the Meyers family Is making the search harder than before for the express com pany. In fact, it is ljkely that the trail will be so covered up that the hunt for the thief wll have to be stopped for a time. A GENTLEMAN'S RESORT TK TlABfA r, Traila Tlllffet On the building.

COURSE IN TRADES ADDED Inspection of Pupils by Health De partment Will Also Be Intro duced Teachers and Princi pals Perfect Organization. At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, all of the public schools In Portland will open for the Fall term, each of the buildings having been put In good con dition and new ones, with a single exception, completed ready for occu pancy. The Alblna Homestead School i. nt readv. owlnor to the lateness of the contractors in pretting to work, but It is said the other bciioois in me vicinity will accomodate the pupils un til the new building is unjsnea. Organization was perfected by the first treneral assembly . of principals and teachers, held yesterday afternoon at the West Side High School building, and everything is in readiness for the opening of the schools. City Superin tendent Rlgler and Assistant Superin tendent Grout, as well as all of the at taches of the office, were so Dusy yes terday that they hardly knew which way to turn arranging all of -the de tails and the teachers 'and principals were likewise closely employed with their preliminary duties. One of the new features this year is the trades school, located in the Atkinson School building, and which is in charge of Principal Hamilton. It Is equipped with all the machinery necessary to teach the majority of trades, and It is fully expected that It will prove a most popular Institu tion. The enrollment is already grat ifying, and Is expected to Increase for several weeks. There will be day and night sessions, the night school being especially for those who have to work during the day. Another innovation to be introduced this year Is inspection, under the di rection of City Health Officer Pohl. Owing to the death of her little son, which has prostrated her, she has been unable to arrange the details of this service as yet, but will perfect it as soon as she 1b able to be In attendance upon her dutlea There will be two paid Inspectors and one nurse, and It will be the duty of the Inspectors to check up on all of the pupils to detect Infectious diseases. The nurse will work In conjunction with them. but will devote the most of her time to the Instruction of parents, especially In the foreign quarters, as to how best to care for their children who may be afflicted with contagious diseases. Indications point to a considerably larger attendance with the opening of the schools this year over that of last year, when the first day's attendance was 15,799. There will be 0 new rooms ready for occupancy tomorrow, the additional ac comodations being afforded by build ings at Arleta, Sellwood. .Portsmouth and the Shaver school. Under existing conditions, it is believed that the In creased number of pupils will be well cared- for this term, especially with the completion of the Alblna Homestead building. . SLASHINGS TO BE BURNED Torch to Be Applied to Brush Lands When Conditions Are Ripe. The senson of the year has arrived when owners of timber and brush lands are preparing to burn their slashings. Numerous tracts, ranging from a few acres up to 50, are ready for the torch in every section of this county, Clack amas and Washington, the owners , of which are awaiting a favorable opportunity to start the fires. An Ideal time Is when an east wind is blowing, presaging rain In a few days. With such conditions ' there is little danger of the fires spreading beyond Its In tended confines and there is usually a good Job done. ' There are probably 1000 acres of such slashings In the Eastern part of Mult nomah County, the owners of which are getting permits from the County Clerk to touch them off.. Many acres of such slashings will be cleared during the coming Winter, and will be put in cultivation next year. It is estimated that 600 acres of new land will be ready for crops next Spring, all within 15 miles of Portland, on the East Side.

Commemoration to Begin at Sun down September 25 For Some WiU Continue Two Days. At sundown on Friday, September 25, the Jewish new year will be com memorated by. Jewish people through out the world. According to the Jew ish calendar it is 6669 years since the creation. The new year festivities known as Rosh Hoshana lascs two days among orthodox Jews, while with the reformed Jews only one day is observed. On Friday, September 25, all the business houses owned by Jews will be closed. The more orthodox will keep their business houses closed on the following day also. An interesting reason is given for the observance of two days by the orthodox Jews. It is said that In ancient times when only the more cultured of the race kept account of the calendar, signals could be flashed from the mountain tops to distant brethren on the night of the new year. As quite a distance had to be covered, it took two days for the flashes to be made. Those at . a distance did not know from these signals Just which day to observe. Therefore, in order to make sure they observed two days. This custom has been followed down to the present day. The celebration of Rosh Hoshana was established by Mosaic precept, found In the book of Leviticus, wherein the people are com manded to make a Sabbath In ,the seventh month which shall be observed with the blowing of trumpets and holy convocation. During that " time they shall do no' servile work and shall present an offering made by fire to the Lord. A feature of the services In connec tion with the observance of the new year is the blowing of the trumpet called In Hebrew Shofur. As the sec ond day of the new year's festivities falls this year on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath this ceremony will be post poned until the following day. Services in the local synagogues will be held Friday night, September 25, Saturday morning and evening, September 26, and Sunday morning, September 27.

Eczema, Acne, Tetter, pimples, rashes, eruptions, etc., show that some unhealthy humor or acid Impurity i3 diseasing and corrupting the circulation, so that instead of supplying nourishment and strength to the fine, delicate tissues of the skin, it is continually pouring out its acrid and unhealthy accumulations. External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., may relieve some of the itching and other discomfort caused by skin troubles, and for this reason should be used, but such treatment cannot reach the humor-laden blood, and therefore cannot cure. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a purely vegetable preparation,' is the best and quickest remedy. It goes down into the circulation and neutralizes and removes the acids, impurities and humors, thoroughly purifies the circulation and permanently cures skin diseases of every kind. When S. 8. S. has driven the humors and impurities from the blood, and cooled and cleansed the acid-heated circulation, every symptom passes away, the skin is again nourished with rich, healthful blood and the trouble cured, as the cause has been removed.
