FOR "MOVIE" OPERATORS STARTED BV lORTLAD MAIS. Sam ' Newman. Portland's pioneer moving-picture show promoter and impre sario is Sam Newman, who start ed the first school for moving picture operators in the United States in Portland in 1906. In 1905 he established the first moving-picture film rental exchange in Portland, and the same year, a little earlier, equipped the first nickelodeon theater, known as the "Nickelodeon," In Portland, opposite The Oregonian building on Sixth street. On the advice of Mr. Newman. Morton Cohen, one of Portland's moving-picture magnates, entered the business in 1906. The Amal gamated Film Corporation and People's Amusement Company were started by Mr. Newman, who also started the first suburban moving-picture theater In Port land in 1908, on the Mount Scott carline. Mr. Newman has seen the moving-picture business in Portland grow from the single house which he equipped in 1905 to more than 100, including those in the sub urbs. The latest plan of Mr. Newman is the establishment of a school in Portland to teach the art of taking moving pictures and making the films. He believes that the business, for all Its rapid growth, is yet in its infancy. tha nthor mnlnvees. nf the club, who ha all onntrf hiitfri tn the srift It was the story of the elevator man's life for the past few years that opened the hearts and loosened the n. .. nt Vi o follnv-wnrkerfL liuiau duius. ..."

IS PLAII Honor to Be Paid Memory of Late Senator Mitchell. DOLLAR LIMIT IS PLACED David M. Dunne Declares Belief in Former Statesman's Innocence and Cites Opinion of Qualifi cations Held by Friends. A movement is to be begun to secure subscriptions for erection of a monu ment to the memory of the late Sen ator John H. Mitchell in recognition of his services to the State, of Oregon. i . t- . .. ., nmA oa a TtrivAtA Li it L 1 1 u a. ocuawi ii nil w - . citizen. David M. Dunne, executor of the estate, will take charge of the sub scriptions and will be one of the lead. ers In the movement to secure a suit able memorial for the man whose work figured so largely in the recent history of the state. In speaking of his reasons for help ing to begin the movement, Mr. Dunne yesterday said: - "On tomorrow, December 8, 1912, it will be seven years since Senator John H. Mitchell died in this city. As the executor of his estate, I have been called on many. many, times asking why a monument should not be erected to his memory, considering the amount of work that he did for the State of Ore gon and for .the whole Pacific Coast. I was very anxious that the affairs of the late Senator should be adjusted and his creditors paid before attempt ing to carry out this worthy object, and, inasmuch as the estate will be closed up by next week, I believe the present is the opportune time to start this subscription. It has always been my idea that not more than 31 should be given by each contributor, and the cost of the monument will then de pend on the number of friends the late Senator had and the amount of money collected. The subscription list will be open three months. Judge Williams Eulogizes. "I cannot give any better argument why this testimonial to his worth should be undertaken than the speech delivered by Judge George H. Williams; a life-time friend of his. before the Bar Association on January 6. 1906. Judge Williams, In speaking of Ore gon's debt to Mr. Mitchell, said: '"His services to the State of Oregon were very great The Federal buildings In- the City of Portland, the locks at the Cascades, the Jetty of the Colum bia River, as well as many other im portant works stand in a large measure as a monument to ills untiring industry and zeal for the interests of his state, while the success of the bill before Congress for the Lewis and Clark Ex position was greatly aided by his ef forts. One. of Mr. Mitchell's able con temporaries in the Senate, in speaking of his influence and standing in the Senate less than two years ago, said: "Measured by his years of life, his priority and length of service, his ac quaintance with public life and public men, his resources and accomplishments in diplomacy, Mr. Mitchell does not suf fer In comparison with any member of the Senate. Some, like Hoar, have been longer in the service; some, like Spooner, have greater readiness in de bate; some, like Beveridge and Foraker, may surpass him in oratory; some, like Hanna and Aldrich, may have greater powers o? command in commercial and financial work, but take it all in all, there is probably no one man in the Senate more effectually equipped with those native qualities and acquired re sources which enable a man to win the sympathy and support of his fel low man."' Senator's Late statement. "As to discussion of Senator Mitchell's guilt in the land fraud charges, I will leave that to some body else more able to do him justice, but, knowing him as I did, I can say now with all candor that Senator Mitchell was innocent of the charges preferred against him by the Government. In a letter to his son-in-law. Judge J. P. Fawcett,' of Can ton. O., dated just five days before his death, he writes as follows: 'The ter rible strain through which I have Just passed during the past year Is fast telling upon me ana i ieei max i can not stand it much longer. Oh, God, how I nave wished many and many a time that I might have died be'fore this disgrace came upon me, my children and my state. I have this one consola tion that, notwithstanding the verdict of the jury, I am absolutely an inno cent man,' and I firmly believe every word he said. ' "Nobodv knows better ' than I the amount of work that Senator Mitchell did for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and the wonderful prosperity of. Port land, in my opinion, commences from that date. I now ask his friends to contribute $1 for a monument fund, and I shall, within the next week, ap point friends of his ' throughout the state whom I will ask to assist in this work. Money may be sent to my ad dress, Custom-House, or to the Hi berian Savings Bank, comer Second and Washiiigton streets, which has kindly consented to act as treasurer. Patrolman Still Unconscious.

HIGH-O-ME That's the Proper Way to Pronounce Booth's HYO- , MEI, the Famous Catarrh Remedy Made From Aus tralian Eucalyptus and Other Antiseptics Just Breathe It. It Banishes Catarrh . , When you can go to any drugstore in any civilized community on earth' and secure for only $1.00 a remedy that will quickly rid you of hawking, spitting and snuffing, why do you allow the devilish germs of catarrh to undermine your health and destroy . your effi ciency? Quit sprays and douches. Liquid can not penetrate into the nooks, folds and crevices of the irregular mucous mem brane. Neither can it get into the bronchial tubes that lead to the lungs and where germs thrive and multiply. If you believe that liquids reach the air tubes, try to swallow a little water the "wrong way." Such a test will effectually demonstrate to you that idle theory that sprays and douches can cure catarrh. HYOMEI is a pleasant antiseptic air which, when breathed, penetrates into the folds and crevices of the sore, germ-infested membrane and also goes deep into the air cells of . the lungs. killing all germs. A HYOMEI outfit costs $1.00. Extra bottle of HYOMEI. If needed, 60c. For catarrh, coughs, colds and croup Booth's Hyomel is guaranteed.
