Henry Jenning & Sons' Midsummer Furniture Sale
Means Money Saved to Every Practical Housewif e
This semi-annual sale needs no introduction to thousands of families who have taken advantage of it for
many years past. To those who are not familiar with our methods, let us explain that although our
prices are normally lower than will be found elsewhere (quality considered), we always turn the quiet
month of July into one of the busiest of the year by cleaning up our stock at tremendous reductions.
Early Purchasers Naturally Will Get the Pick of the Many Reductions
South Carolinan, in Portland,
Says Colonel G. W. Goethals
'Out-Germaned' Germans.
SLIDES CAUSING TROUBLE
THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, JULY 18, 1913.
FARM, NEAR SCAPPOOSE, FRIDAY WHEN FINE -NEW
BARN WAS DEDICATED. 1
y '
VlMtor Was Impressed by Efficiency
of General Ed-wards and Troop
and tbe Strength, of De
fense Fortifications.
Colonel George W. Goethals has "out-
Germaned" the Germans in efficiency In
the construction of the Panama Canal,
according to Senator Benjamin Ryan
Tillman, of South Carolina, who arrived
in Forx'and Friday to visit his daughter
and son in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Harry w.
Hughes, for a week. To this efficiency
he credits the success of the tremendous
undertaking: which he Inspected on his
way to Portland. He tells of his visit
as follows:
"I spent a week In the Canal Zone,
two days on the Atlantic or Gulf side
and four days on the Pacific. Although
in no way connected with the Army,
except as a member of the appropria
tion committee, I felt it my duty to
get as much information as I could
about actual conditions there.
"J became enthusiastic by association
with the Army officers, coast artillery
officers .and those of the r gular in
fantry. The artillerymen a f& working
like beavers at both ends to get the
fortifications in good condition, and al
ready have in place, ready for business,
many heavy mortars and 12 and 14-inch
rifles, so I feel convinced that any hos
tile fleet attempting to enter at either
end would receive very warm treat
ment, "General C H. Edwards is in com
mand of the forces on the isthmus, and
he laid himself out to have me see and
know what the Army needs are. Hav
ing known General Edwards in Wash
ington for many years I was not sur
prised at the grasp and earnestness
which he displayed.
"But notwithstanding the fact that I
was an invalid, so to speak, by sheer
will power I was able to stand up under
the strain.
OeneraJ Edwards Right Man.
"I visited the camp of the Third In
fantry, detailed on the south side of the
Canal, and became convinced that Gen
eral Edwards Is the right man for the
job on the isthmus.
"He is prepared to repel any invader
from any source whatsoever, be he Ger
man, Jap or what not.
"Captain Hugh Rodman, of the United
States Navy, In charge of the special
duty of putting ships through the
Canal, then took me in hand, and we
ran down to tiatun dam on a special
motorcar belonging to the I. C C. which
means, on the isthmus, Isthmian Conal
Commission, and not Interstate Com
merce Commission.
"I returned through the Canal on a
tugboat part of tbe way through Gatun
Lake. Then Captain Rodman took me
in a steam launch up the Chagres River
as far as I cared to go, after which
we took a steam launch and continued
our journey by water to Pedro Miguel,
from where we returned to- Balboa,
Panama, in a motorcar. Thus I have
had an exceptional opportunity to view
me uanal from all angles.
"I saw from the top of Culebra cut,
having been carried up the side of the
mountain in an Army ambulance.
"Cracks 100 or more yards from the
canal brink werehown us, and I saw
earth sliding down on the south side
from the top into the canal itself.
"So I have seen it from the water
and from 300 feet above the water. I
am thoroughly satisfied that it will
take a long time how long I do not
for the earth to be so stabilized
an to render the canal permanently
navigable.
Mountain SUUInK In.
"The engineers believe eight months
is enough, when they hope that the
expense of dredging will cease. Of
course I do not presume to put my
judgment against theirs, but the cracks
in tl?e earth on the north side of the
canal indicate that the mountain is
moving toward the water, elowly caus
ing the mud to press up from the
bottom of the canal, and dredges are
constantly at work four or five of
mem taking out this material.
I make a crude guess that it will
require two or three years more and
several million dollars before this work
will be completed. Since the 22,000-ton
Finland came through the 'canal, on
wnicn I sailed for San Francisco,
enough earth has slid into It to pre
vent me iiroonland, her sister ship,
from following, and I doubt seriously
wnetner the three battleships on which
the Annapolis cadets are to visit the
exposition will get through safely.
I was much impressed with the
wisdom of President Wilson in not per
mitting our battleships to go through
the canal at this time, as they might
have been prevented from returning to
ins Atlantic.
Aamirai Jtousseau had shown me
the Gatun dam before I left Colon.
i am not see uoionei uoetnals on
the Isthmus, because he was in the
United States at the time, but I did see
Colonel Harding, his assistant. I be
came impressed with one thing, after
talking with some ot my old South
C olina friends whom I found there,
thi Colonel Goethals has had one idea
prmlnate efficiency.
has out-Germaned the Germans
in V, great work, and if a man was
sentJo the canal who did not make
good. Colonel Goethals told him to
move on. It has been his religion.
"The work impresses one in its mag
nitude and greatness at every step
taken, and. In expressing my opinion,
I believe it is as permanent as human
energy and skill and brains can make it.
"Science has lent its aid, and modern
engineering, with American leadership,
has accomplished a stupendous task."

ROAD WORK IS UNDER WAY
Process- of Hard Surfacing Slakes
' Progress In Gresham Districts.
GRESHAM, Or.. July 17. (Special.)
The work of hard surfacing the
Towell Valley road was bejrun Thurs
day morning: a short distance east of
Kast Eighty-second street. The mac-
fcdam is being "spiked" in order that
It may be removed to allow the War-
rentte composition to be laid. A new
device, a plow weighing six tons. Is
used to break up the macadam surface.
The plow is drawn by a large roller
which will later be used to roll the
new pavement.
The camps located at Jenne and
the Base Line road crossing are nearly
ready to begin operations. Quarters for
the crews have been built.1 and men are
being assembled at'the two camps. The
same conditions exist at Fairvlew
where work is being done on the Sandy
road. The work on the Sandy road was
begun at East Eighty-second street
and about one mile of pavement has
been laid.
More than 500 people gathered at
the home of P. A. Frakes, a pioneer
stockman of Scappoose. early Friday
night to dedicate what is declared to
be the best equipped and most modern
barn in the state. More than 500 peo
ple reluctantly left the scene of the
dedication early Saturday morning
after they had united in giving the
Frakes household three rousing cheers
for their royal hospitality and after
they had admired and danced In this
latest monument of Mr. Frakes' indus
try and perservprance.
Pioneer hospitality was the order of
the day. and men, women and children
from all the country round attended.
'Invited guests included Governor
Withycombe. and only pressing busi
ness prevented his attendance. .
Of course the barn dance was the
center of interest, and from 0 until 4
o'clock 250 couples waltzed, scottisched.

fashioned style.
Barn Modern In All Details.
The barn Is thoroughly modern, and
every detail has been carefully planned
by the owner. The cow has received
every consideration, ana in Mr. r rakes
own words. "The cattle have made the
money for us. so they are entitled to
a reward," is found the reason for the
thoroughness of the work.
The laOOO iarn is 126x64 feet, con
tains stalls for 85 head of cattle and
five head of horses, and the loft will
house ZOO tons -of hay. The floor of
tha barn is of concrete and the stall
floors have been laid with cork brick.
rem have been proviaea ror every
emergency that comes on the ranch
for Mr. Frakea has studied barns all
over the country and has Injected h
own ideas into his planning, so thi
his barn is absolutely complete. The
posts that form the corners of the
emergency pens are sunk three feet
in the concrete floor and the stalls
are so substantially built that an 111
tempered horse or a mad bull can kick
or lunge for hours without any notice
able results.
Ventilation Is Beat Possible.
None of the woodwork on the ground
floor rises more than four feet above
the floor, thus giving plenty of room
for the best ventilation.
Tt will be an impossibility for Mr.
Frakes' new barn to become musty and
ill-smelling, for ventilation is possible
even in the worst weather. The excel
lent sanitation and the perfect .ventila
tion have put this new barn in a class
by itself.
Mr. Frakes moved to the place where
he sow livea 32 years ago, and from an

Holstelns are famous throughout the

Mr. Frakes' farm is on the hanks of
the Wllamette slough, and four times
since going there he has had to pick
up bag and baggage and get out of
the way of the Spring freshets. .Kach
