The carnival committee of Al Kader Temple of the Mystic Shrine closed a contract with the Multnomah Club yes terday for the use of Multnomah Field for the three-day open-air tournament, carnival and wild animal show, which is to be held April 16, 17 and 18. The committee first figured on securing' the old circus grounds at Twenty-Sixth and Raleigh, but it was decided they were too far from the center of ac tivity and would not give the proper al-fresco effect needed. The big sta dium will be occupied by the Shrine show each afternoon and evening, six performances in all. Beginning this coming week, differ ent squads of the members of Al Kader will visit the Winter quarters of the Al G. Barnes show out at the Country Club and begin training for their stunts with the wild animals there. A select committee headed by Ivan Humason has been detailed to ride the camels bareback and this will be one of the strong features of the carnival, inas much as the hump-backed denizen of the Oriental jungles is the official mas cot of the order. A prize hippodrome race between the four best riders of the Temple on board these ungainly brutes will be pulled off each afternoon and evening. Another committee which will take part in the different sideshows will be photographed next week in the dens of lions. This is a ticklish job and Har vey Beckwith, the illustrious potentate, , has had to call for volunteers. Tacoma Coming StronK. Affifi Temple, Tacoma, will be over here strong and will be represented on ' the programme with some of the lead ing talent in the Shrine minstrel show " which has been given at Tacoma the past week. Nile Temple, df Seattle, .will enter another bunch of live-wire nobles and with these two cities there will be a number of fez-wearers picked from other Northwestern temples to take part in the cateh-as-catch-can and go-as-you-please camel race for a prize trophy. Then for the concert after the main show 11 the temples represented will enter their bands in the musical eom ' petition and an effort will be made to have the visiting bands here take part in the daily street parade downtown. In' which the S4 cages of Barnes' wild animals and the Arab Patrols will be 1? lined up. While Assistant Director-General Hutchinson, who has charge of the programme, has not decided just what he will do with the new class of nov ices that will be put through their sprouts on the night before the open ing of the carnival, a special place on the programme -will be left open for them and there is where the commlt- tee expects to pull off Its high jinks. The managers are already scouring around town to hire a flock of peevish "billy" goats and one of the stunts will probably be to turn the new nobles ' loose in the stadium with about 20 "buttinskis" and let the crowd watch the fun. , One Goat Wanted. Potentate Beckwith wants to hear from anybody and everybody that has a real husky goat and is willing to do nate the varmint for the big show. The more rounded up the better, he says. According to the programme commit tee, the entertainment will give the nearest to a faithful reproduction of what happens inside the mysterious portals of Shrinedom than has ever been staged in Portland before. "And it makes no difference how much money a man has got or how good his clothes are, everybody in the ring will be treated just alike," says Potentate Beckwith. "We are trying to get Seattle and Tacoma Shriners to organize big enough delegations to come over here by special train and at any rate we shall have special nights for each vis iting Temple." SIX DIVORCES GRANTED Cruelty and Desertion Are Alleged as Grounds ' fb'vfiiiaration. Three default divorces were granted yesterday by Circuit Judge McGinn, two by Judge Gatens and one by Judge Davis. Two of the divorces were granted for cruelty, three for cruelly . and desertion and one for desertion. Because Criscenzo Petrarco would not permit her to keep at home her five minor children by a former marriage, Mrs. Maria Pe trarco was granted a divorce by Judge McGinn. Property rights be tween the parties were settled outside the court. The couple were married in Portland in July. 1911. Other divorces granted by Judge McGinn were to Wal ter Scott from Mrs. Lela Scott for de sertion and cruelty and to Mrs. Lillian R. Hoke from Wiley Hoke for deser tion. Judge Gatens granted divorces to Mrs. Grace Rice from Charles Rice and to Mrs. Rosie Singer from Philip Singer, both for cruelty and desertion. Mrs. Kvalene F.

It may not have the grandilo quence of Tsaye or the excitement of Elman, but it has an emotional en chantment all its own. H. T. Parker, the critic of the Boston Transcript, speaking of Kreisler's tone last Winter had this to say: "Mr. Kreisler's tone is one of exquis ite fineness and softness, meet for the velvety texture of the music. It is a ton of most sensitive suppleness that bends to every curve of the melody, to every lace-like filigree of ornament. It is a tone quick with delicate light and shade, that makes its songr its figuration. Its arabesque bright with changeful tints and half tints. The play of light and shadow in it is near and was nearly caught by Patrolman Black. Frank Bishop reported that a gold-toothed stranger buncoed him out of $10 on the train from Cresweil, Or., by a short-change game. Bishop is from Maiden. Wash. Florence Forsythe, a clerk In a store at 409 Hoyt street, recognized the man's description when he offered a small bill for change in the store. She kept the bill and telephoned the police. The man escaped, but Patrolman Black saw him jump on a streetcar going to the i.ast bide. He followed, to discover later that the man had dronned off the carfon a bridge, and run Into the term inal yards. SAFETY WILL BE TAUGHT School Children to Be Shown How to Avoid Accidents.

Boyd, an expert trainer, has been trying to break of the habit of biting people, is to be sold.- He cannot be broken of his habit and is considered of no further use to the fire department, although he is the biggest horse In the service and probably the most willing worker. Dr. Boyd has had the big animal at the old exposition grounds for three weeks, and during that time has made, a circus horse out of him. Yesterday a party of firemen went down to see Pat and were much surprised when the trainer took the big horse in a ring and had him do all kinds of tricks. "He wouldn't bite for the world," explained the trainer as he stroked the horse on the face and even stuck his hand in Pat's mouth. One of the firemen stepped up to see tf Pat had been' cured. The big animal threw back his ears and made a lunge at the fireman that would have laid him out if Pat's rope had been a little longer. The affair was reported to Mayor Albee, who ordered Purchasing Agent Wood to advertise Pat for sale at once. . ly endless. It Is, furthermore, a tone than can isolate itself like the "fine and shimmering thread against the background of the orchestra, or fuse useu witn one or anolber of the instru mental voices. It is a tone that springs to every elasticity of rhythm, that can spin itself Into the finest of tran sitions, gather without break or jar tne suDiime force of a climax, or leap up dominant out of orchestral tumult. Above all, it is a tone that glows with the beauty of the song that it sustains and yet in its own right is so full of sensuous loveliness that It falls, halo like, upon prosaic figuration. Even In passages for purely technical display it works Its charm of glowing and beauti ful rhapsody. The ear, the imagination, the whole listening being, respond to sucn Deauty or sound weaving Its beau tiful patterns upon the air."

Company, has arranged to show the moving pictures now being used by the company in teaching "safety first" to its employes. He will explain the pictures, and will give three exhibitions on each of the two days. The pictures give valuable lessons on the way to board trains, how to cross railroad tracks and how to guard against accident In the daily contact with streetcars and railroad trains. L. R. Alderman, superintendent of schools, is eager to take an active part in the "safety firstr movement, which is now gaining general expression throughout the country. Boys Meeting Postponed. The meeting of the boys' clubs that was scheduled at the Reed College gymnasium for next Wednesday even ing has been postponed until April 1 because Dr. Foster, who was to speak, will be out of the city.

GIVEN UP AS INCURABLE wmfowi It jj-VKrfrttmifm 5 Organization Will Include Swiss, Austrian and Hungarians In Ore gon and Eventually Will Spread Throughout Xorthwest. With the motive of bettering condi tions of the German-speaking people of Oregon and protecting their inter ests, a non-political organization called "Der Deutsche Bund was organized by representative Germans at a meeting in the law office of Woerndle & Haas, In the Stock Exchange building, Thurs day night. Joseph woerndle, of 601 college street, was elected president; Arnold Keller, field secretary of the Oregon Retail Grocers' Association, vice-presi dent, and C. T. Haas, of 1229 East Ev erett street, secretary and treasurer. The organization will take in all German - speaking people, Including Austrian, Swiss, Hungarians and oth ers. While at present it will be con fined to Oregon only, the ultimate ob ject will be to extend it to other Pa cific Coast cities. Articles to Be Filed. ' At the meeting an organizatlon.com mittee composed of the officers was instructed to prepare and file articles of incorporation, to give the organiza tion a corporate existence. v.rnoia Jteiier, tne vice-president, in speaking of the' purposes of the new organization, said: "It is high time that the German speaking people of this country affil iate and organize an order to protect their rights and interests. There are 40,000 German-speaking people in Ore gon alone, of whom approximately 16,000 are voters. "The purpose of this organization will, of course, generally .be for the up lift and betterment of the German speaking population. It will give its heartiest support in the establishment and maintenance of good government. While it will be absolutely non-po litical, it will propose, indorse and support candidates for office in state. county and municipal matters, irre spective of party affiliation. It will also propose, offer and initiate such measures as it may deem proper, and will indorse and reject measures con sidered unnecessary or dangerous to public welfare. .. Candidates to Be Studied. "To carry out this plan, the organ ization will appoint committees to study the different candidates and measures, and will then recommend action in accordance with their find ings. Of course, all these activities will be for the particular Information of .German voters, and. will be widely distributed among this class, especially insofar as the present plan of the or ganization includes branch organiza tions in each county in the state." Secretary Haas said: - "The present plan of operation is for each local to take up local politics, while all will work in harmony for state and Na tional politics. Inquiries will be put to the various candidates for public office asking, their . opinions in refer ence to matters affecting German speaking people. Especial emphasis will be applied to seeing that candi dates, once elected on a certain plat form, will live up to this platform after election." Immigration Get Notice. Dr. P. E. Schwabe, Interested in ob taining German immigration to Ore gon, declares that If the organization s carried out along its present plans, it will be. a great inducement for im migration to this state for the German-speaking classes. A call will be issued within a few days for the first general mass meet- ng of the organization; at which time an advisory courts! of seven members will be elected. CROP CONDITIONS G000 INCREASED PRODI CTIO" LOOKED FORWARD TO IX 1014. Current Bnsineiia Letter Iued by Merchants National Bank of Port land 1st Interesting;. Crop condi&ons In the Northwest promise Increased production in nearly all agricultural departments for the year 1914, according to an estimate of the situation contained in the current business letter of the Merchants Na tional Bank of Portland. "It is easy to say," says the report, "that the business for the later months of this year will depend largely upon crop conditions because we all know that this must be true. . "This year- more depends upen the crops than is usually the case. Busi ness is slowly but surely Improving and easier money -is helping general con ditions, but the volume of business for 1914 will be largely affected by, farm production. Present reports indicate good soil and plant conditions over practically the entire Winter wheat, rye and oats area. A few million acres have been planted to provide early Spring pasturage, and it is not expected that we will harvest much more than 32,000,000 acres of wheat and 2,500,000 acres of rye. Allowing for the average deterioration from this date until the date of harvest, which we have experi enced for the past 10 years, we should have a Winter wheat crop of between 623 and 550 million bushels. At this date, barring unusual happenings, there Is every reason to believe the 1914 Win ter 'wheat crop will set a new high record. The Government report will be issued March 7. "The figures on business failures for January call for careful analysis. Only In Janary, 1910, did the sum total of the' liabilities approach the figures of January, 1914. The total liabilities amounted to over $39,000,000. "There were fewer failures in gro ceries, meats and brokerage lines. In foundry .and machinery lines failures were fewer In number, but in foun dries total libllltles were greater. "The number of unemployed has been steadily decreasing for the past 30 days. Principal anthracite collieries have re sumed operation so that practically all the anthracite coal miners will be em ployed soon." Short Change Artist Foiled. ' When the $2-bill-short-change artist attempted to work at the store kept by Miss Florence Forsythe at 409 Hoyt street yesterday afternoon, he met ob stacles.

We put these ' pictures hers for your protection because s our remedies are so good and efficient that we have imitators. We want you to get the original and genuine preparations and when the medicine you buy is put up like the above pictures, you will know that you have the genuine article. Take no imitation or substitute. HAVE you not observed that the sediment and drift of a stream always adhere to the sides? Well it is just so with the human di gestive tract. Digestion and assimi lation are a continuous process, you know, going on throughout the en tire length of the digestive system. If there is any sluggishness or inac tivity in the stomach and bowels, there will be lodgment of fetid waste matter in folds and angles. This matter will set up slow fer mentation which in turn begets in flammation and a catarrhal condition. This in turn brings in its train a thick, viscid, inactive condition of the bile torpid liver, acute indigestion, cramps in stomach and bowels, constipation, impure breath, etc. These may lead to gall "stones and often do lead to appendicitis. Instead of rushing off for an opera tion, it is well to reflect that there is a simple and effective remedy for these troubles. FRUITOLA and TRAXO pure vegetable and fruit juices used in combination, as directed, will thor oughly relieve that impacted or clog ged condition of the entire digestive tract, and thereby OPEN THE WAY TO HEALTH. These sovereign California reme dies have hundreds and hundreds of relieved cases of chronic stomach trouble and threatened appendicitis ' to their credit. These indisputable proofs have been brought together in a little book which we will gladly mail free to any inquirer. FRUITOLA and TRAXO are sold by druggists almost everywhere. If yonr druggist does not keep them, correspond with us direct and we will see that you are supplied. ( , Pinus Medicine Co., Los Angeles, Cal.
