TJIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. MARCH 8, 1914. 11 PORTLAND ARTISTS HAVEWORKONVIEW Annual Exhibition Declared Definitely Superior to Those of Past Years. MISS TINGLE GIVES REVIEW Talent Is Praised and Wide Variety of Subjects Treated Several Out-of-Totvn Pictures Are Thought Worthy of Note. BT LILIAN TINGLE. The annual exhibition of paintings by the artists of Portland and the vicinity opened yesterday at the Museum of Art, Klfth and Taylor streets, and will re main open until March 29. The exhibi tion is definitely superior to those of prei'ious years. For the first time the art teaching force of the public schools is repre sented in this annual display, a number of pleasing water colors, drawings and illustrations being shown by Mrs. Ksther Wuest, Miss Aimee Spencer, Miss T Muirden and Miss Agnes L. Kenerty. The illustrations in this group will be of great interest to students. Among other drawings especially noticeable are three charming arch! tectural pencil sketches of French and Italian subjects by Macdonald Mayer. Miss Jeanne M. Stewart has a vigor ous water color, "Nye Beach, Oregon Coast," showing a glimpse of blue sea through groves of spruce. Two ma rines, in the same medium, by J. Berzevizy, are pleasing in subject and broad in treatment. Another interest ing water color is a strong and quiet portrait, "Miss Helen," by Althea Chase. In the three pastel portraits, by Frau Pielke, there is a decided contrast of characterization between the spirited "Master H. E." and the more precise and demure "Lieschen." IVew Exhibitor Entered. A new name In these local exhibitions Is that of J. Christopher Smith, who shows two quiet paintings, "Night" and "Evening," particularly satisfying in their fine tonal relations. In decided contrast to these are the striking canvases of Miss Ellen Ravens croft. Among C. A. Walters' rich little sketches of boats, the "Fisherman's Shacks" strikes a noticeably true note. Floyd Wilson is also attracted by the wealth of subjects to be found around the docks and river edges, and his "Evening'" shows deep full tones. One seldom sees a better piece of Joose, free, substantial painting than is shown in the foreground of "Late Afternoon," by Miss Clara J. Stephens. Ample Variety Shown. "The Copper Kettle," by Kate Camer on Simmons, in rich blue, greens and dull copper tones, is good in its re served painting and well - considered composition. Miss Mary H. Webster shows a marine full of light and movement. A painting to which one can turn re peatedly with pleasure is the unpreten tious "Gray Bridge," by Henry F. Wentz. Among the out-of-town contributors is Miss Jeannette Powell, whose "Olym pic Mountains Seen From Port Town send." gives a powerful interpretation of Western scenery, with a strong sug gestion of busy life. The small group of sculpture dis played includes some charming portrait reliefs of children by Miss Mary H. Webster, and a bust and figurine of strong-featured elderly women, by Ros well Dosch. both of which display marked character. highway through the property owned by the Cornell heirs was advised by Roadmaster Teon in a communication received yesterday by the County Com missioners. All the right of way neces sary for the highway from Chanticleer to the Hood River line has been do nated by the property owners, Mr. Teon advises, and that no delay may be oc cartoned in opening the road to traffic In the Spring of 1915, immediate action toward procuring this piece of the right of way is urged. All the deep grades and sharp' and dangerous turns between Chanticleer and Bridal Veil have been eliminated in the new location. The general direc tion of the present road will be fol lowed, Mr. Teon says. No grade will be greater than 6 per cent, and the shortest curve will have a radius of not less than 100 feet. The fourth camp on the highway was STROS GUARDS TO BE PAID Warrants for $114 Drawn In Favor of Men Stationed at Hospital. Warrants for J114 in payment for epecial guards which were placed Hver liouis T3tros, while he was confined at the hospital after his injury in a pistol duel with 'Private Watchman Tim Healey on Portland Heights were ordered drawn by the County Commis sioners yesterday. Stros is one of two men whom Healey found about property and when he asked them their business the shoot ing followed, Healey and Stros being Injured. The third man escaped. Stros was taken to the hospital for treat ment and one attempted to take his own life, for which reason special guards were ordered by Sheriff Word. Several weeks ago, when Sheriff Word brought Stros from the hospital to the jail, the prisoner-fought desperately. He and Healy are both nearly re covered. The payments ordered are for Gus Youngberg, John F. Cassidy and Ellis Hardesty. CITY GETS LAND FREE Mr. Brewster Arranges for Exten sion of Terwilliger Boulevard. Through tentative arrangements made by City Commissioner Brewster with Fritz Strobel and A. L. and J. C. Veazie, the city will secure free of charge sufficient ground to extend the Terwilliger boulevard a width of 60 feet from its present end northward to Sixth and Sheridan streets. Origi nally it was planned to purchase prop erty for the road and several times negotiations were all but completed whereby the city would have paid out several thousand dollars. Commissioner Brewster now has deeds to the property which he will present to the Council at its next meeting. FAIR COMMISSION MOVES Publicity Manager Obtaining Prom ises of County Exhibits.

CHANGE IN DATES 11 PORTLAND AND LEWISTON LIVE STOCK SHOWS NOW CONFLICT. Effort Will Be Made to Advance One Week Time for Pacific Internation al Exhibit to Be Held Here. Efforts; will be made at a conference to be held this week to have the date for the Pacific International Livestock Show advanced one week, so that there will be no conflict In dates between it and. the Lewiston Livestock Show. Request for the conference on the mat ter was received yesterday at the Port land Commercial Club from C. F. Os mers, president of the Lewiston club. The matter will be referred to the board of governors of the Portland club at its meeting Tuesday and at that time arrangements for the conference will be made probably. The constitution and by-laws under which the Lewiston show is held call for it to begin on the first Monday in December. Last year this dated the show from December 1 to 6, and there was no conflict with the show in Port land. This year; however, the first Monday falls on December 7. .The Portland show has been set for De cember 8-13, and thus comes the con flict . The Lewiston people desire to have the Pacific International Show set for the third week in December, because the Chicago International Livestock show is set for the first week in De cember and many exhibitors desire to attend it. They hold that the pro posed arrangement will dispose of the conflict In dates and will make possible a larger attendance at all three shows, from the ranks of the leading stock breeders of the Northwest.

It delivers more of the motor's power to the rear ' axle than is possible with any other kind of final drive used and unlike all other kinds, it does not lose in efficiency with ,wear. The second advantage is a saving in upkeep and mainte nance. The Worm Gear Drive wears several times as long as chains, requires oil only once for every 5000 miles and needs no other attention! The third advantage is that of dependability. The Worm Gear Drive does not break on the road, as is common with . chains. The fourth advantage is one of silence. The Worm Gear Drive runs smoothly, without vibration or noise. The sum total is an advantage in economy and satisfac tion too large .to overlook. The Pierce-Arrow Sales Company (FACTORY.
