Organization of a Lumber Exchange in connection with the Chamber, of Commerce will be completed within" a hort time and arrangements made for the establishment of headquarters in the Oregon building-, if possible. A committee, consisting of Edward Cookingham, F. C Knapp. H. EL Pen nell. L. J. Wentworth, George Corn wall and Russell Hawkins, is working on the matter now. and the prelim inaries are practically completed. Owing to the lease of the lower floor of the building to the state for its ex hibit, the headquarters may have to be established on one of the upper floors, and the principal problem now is to arrange for rooms sufficiently large to aoramodate assemblies of the lumbermen. Typhus Increases In Toklo. WASHINGTON'. April 22. Mail re rorts reaching the public health serv ire today say that typhus in Tokio is increasing. One hundred and ten cases were reported within 19 days prior to thv report. Preparations Are Now Being: Made for Industrial Recovery After War Women Take TTp Work That ,3Ien May Enlist. The foresight of the French and Bel gians and the characteristic thorough ness with which they are taking up the burden of the war is indicated by the fact that they have made of their hos pitals great schools, where the men, maimed for life, are trained in the trades and professions, according to Mrs. Julia W. Henshaw, of Vancouver, B. C, who arrived in Portland yester day. Mra. Henshaw has Just returned from a tour of the continent, where she went to gain first-hand informa tion on what the women of Canada and America can do to assist in the hospi tal work. Mrs. Henshaw is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, vice-president of the Imperial Order of Daugh ters of the Empire of Canada and a prominent worker for the Red Cross. Of the "re-education" work being done in the French and Belgian hospi tals Mrs. Henshaw aaid: "The crippled men are learning new trades and occupations for which they are suited, so they may take an active part in rebuilding the industrial ac tivities of their countries after the war. An idea of the extent of this work can be gained from the fact that in one French hospital I visited, which con tained 1800 men, 63 different trades and occupations were being taught in as many shops. Mrs. Henshaw said such education pt the wounded offers great possibilities (1) A. M.

"Franca is probably the most cheer ful place one could visit," she said. "This Is true even of the hospitals. There seems to be no doubt in the mind of the French as tc the ultimate out come of the war." Mrs. Henshaw said the French worn en have adjusted themselves magnlfl cently to the situation and have shouldered the responsibilities of civil life that the men might go to the front.

GANFIELD IS SOUGHT AIL ROADS IX DIRECTION- OF VAX Cul'VER SEARCHED. Brother of Missing Man Offers Reward for Information and Descrip tion Is Provided. Five automobiles searched the coun try in all directions from Vancouver, Wash., yesterday without dts-cqj-jerlngT a trace of W. R. Canfleld, who disap peared on Wednesday. One of the ma chines was driven by Dr. Arthur L. Can field, of 491. Dekum avenue, a brother of the missing man. The-eearehers encountered one report of a pedestrian traveling toward Ka lama. Though the description did not exactly tally with that of Mr. Canfield. telephone messages were sent to offi cials along the route indicated to watch for the man. "My brother was not of a despondent temperament." said Dr. Canfield. "He was in good financial condition. We know that he suffered from a severe headache Monday and Tuesday, and it is this fact that leads me to think he may have been temporarily deranged, for he was not subject to headaches." W. R. Canfield lived on a ranch six miles below Vancouver. Wednesday he drove to that city and left his horse, saying that he was on his way t Port land to consult a physician, file disap peared immediately after. lie is 50 years old, of dark complexion, tanned, weighs 156 pounds, height five feet seven inches. He is slightly bald and has gray hair. The left side of his face and eyelid show slight paralysis. He was dressed in a tan or gray corduroy suit, black overcoat and soft gray hat. His brother offers a reward for infor mation or assistance. He formerly wore a mustache, but now is clean shaven. All-Day Session Held by State wide Representatives. BOND SUGGESTION HOOTED Tilts Occur Over Expenditures for Educational Institutions and Road Improvements ; Ses sion at Albany Suggested. (Continued From First Page.) and E. Hofer clashed over the question of expenditures in some of the state educational institutions. School Regents Lock Horns. Colonel Hofer, as regent of the State NdVmal School, declared that funds al lirtted to that Institution were e-r- pended judiciously for the purpose for which they are Intended and not for frills and fancies or for expensive trips for athletic teams. This latter re mark was an evident thrust at the Ore gon Agricultural College. Mr. Spence, wno is master' of the State Grange, also is a regent of the Agricultural College, and quickly came to its defense. - . "Our athletic teams do not travel at the state's expense." asserted Mr. Spence, "and the Agricultural College does a tremendous good for the entire state." Mr. Spence became a party to a con troversy at the afternoon session also. His adversary this time was John B. Yeon, roadmaster of Multnomah County. Road Expenditures Canae Clash. Mr. Yeon spoke in praise of the work done in Multnomah County in expending money for construction of the Columbia River .Highway and other permanent roads. He criticised Mr. Spence for the latter's reported attacks upon S. Benson, Leslie Butler and J. H. Albert, members of the ad visory committee to the State Highway Commission. "Mr. Benson has plans for improve ments in Oregon that I cannot even speak of now, but when they are made they will benefit every taxpayer and every resident of this state," said Mr. Yeon, significantly. The particular point over which Mr. Spence and Mr. Yeon clashed was the manner of expending money for roads, j Mr. Spence contended that commercial roads roads that can be used by the farmers to bring their produce to mar ket should be built before scenic high ways are considered. He insisted, how ever, that the grangers of the state are not opposed to the good roads movement, but always have advocated better roads. The convention was composed largely of farmers, although several bankers and heavy landowners from various parts of the state were in evidence. Bond Issue Proposal DlsllUed. That the meeting was actuated by an earnest desire to throw off some of the tax burden which the state now is carrying was indicated at the after noon session, when Tom Richardson former manager of the Portland Com mercial Club, was given a hostile re ception after advocating a heavy bond issue for roads and other Improvements. Mr. Richardson argued that because money is cheap now it would pay the state to float a few odd million dollars in bonds, but his appeals in that direc tion fell on deaf ears. Speaker after speaker - "roasted" Mr. Richardson for even suggesting such a thing. One of the instructive and enlighten ing addresses of the day was that of Henry E. Reed, Assessor of Multnomah County, who quoted some figures to emphasize the rapid advance In the Oregon tax rate in recent years. Increase of Taxes Shown. "State and local taxation and the public debt have Increased at a re markable rate In Oregon the past few years," he said. "In the 10 years end ing with 1915, total levies of 'ad valorem' taxes for all purposes in this state amounted to a little over $142. 000,000. According to a recent publi cation of the Federal Census Bureau, the per capita levy in Oregon in 1902 was $11.43. "In 1913. based on. the assessed valu ation for that year, and accepting the Government's estimated population of 756,988 to be correct, the per capita tax was nearly $30.50. The highest per capita levy in the United States In 1912. as shown by the Federal tax com pilation, was reported by Montana and amounted to .$26.83. It will thus be seen that 'ad valorem' taxation has reached a high level In this state. Ore gon's banner year for levies was 1914 taking the. roll or the previous year as the tax base. The total was $23,083,- 000. -which was distributed to the. fol lowing accounts: State purposes, 18 per cent; cities and towns, 16.8 per cent counties, schools, roads' and all other local purposes, 65.2 per cent. The amount applied to state purposes in cludes the maintenance- of the State University, the Agricultural College Monmouth Normal School and a levy of over $238,000 for the, state road fund. I'ublic Indebtedness has bounded up ward-quite as steadily and Impercep tibly as the tax levy. Per Capita Limit Proposed. C. P. Strain, Assessor of Umatill County, also presented an interesting review of the tax situation. He point ed out that in the last decade, while the state's population has " increased 63 per cent, the value of farm crops 125 per cent and manufactures 158 per cent, taxation has increased more than 400 per cent. He advocated a maximum imit on the per capita assessment in each tax-levying unit of the state. C. C. Chapman, of Portland, suggest ed an effective way of reducing public expense by eliminating some of the regulation now demanded by the peo ple, and by opening some of the pub domain, now not taxed, so that t can be placed in the tax rolls. Oswald West, ex-Governor of Ore gon, asserted that the last legislature had eliminated one effective check upon expenditures when it abolished the state accountancy bureau. While this step was taken in the interests of conomy, Mr. West declared that it would have been more economical to retain the bureau, which was intended to check the expenditures of county officials. "Lobby" Is Proposed. L. A. Fernsworth, a delegate from Washington County and candidate for the Legislature, made the suggestion that the league hold another conven tion In Salem simultaneous with the legislative session. He called attention to the fact that every corporation, every rivate interest and every state Insti tution maintains a lobby at the Legis- ature. 'The only person who is not repre- ented in the lobby," he said, "Is the erson with the biggest interest the taxpayer. Let us appoint a committee stay at Salem while the Legislature in session and lobby for the tax payer in the interest or lower taxes. Rufus C. Holman, Commissioner of Multnomah County, cited several ind ents in the recent experience of his department to show how taxes can be reduced. O. W. Taylor spoke on road taxation nd at his suggestion the following ommittee was appointed to co-operate with county officials who are preparing uniform code of road laws: O. W.

Like all of Nature's most potent forces this is invisible, and being so, it secures its expression in effects and results. Competency, energy and hon esty these qualities constitute greater worth. And their development creates character. Motor cars, too, have character. It is injected and molded by the hand of man; its presence is conspicuous when put to the .test. Maxwell Motor Cars, for example, gain character and individuality by reason of experience, care and skill with which they are made. Every operation must strengthen the' final result and thus the ability to give abundant and satisfying service is correspondingly increased.

Answer: If your symptoms are the usual ones, as puffs under the eyes, swelling ankles; scant, copious or foul smelling urine, accompanied by head aches, pains, depression, fever, chills, etc., I would advise the immediate use of balmwort tablets, a very fine remedy for. such difficulties, sold in sealed tubes with full directions for self-administration. James J. asks: "For several months I have not been feeling well. My skin is sallow, my tongue is coated, have headache, am sleepless, nervous and bothered with chronic constipation. Please help me."

Poor Nerves" writes: "Is it possible to find a medicine which by its tonic or nutritive powers will bring the glow of health and ambition back to a man who has everything in the world but health and happiness? I am dull, for getful, despondent, weak, trembling, short of breath and suffer more or less with pain in spine and back of head." Answer: Your condition indicates the need of a strong, harmless tonic nutri tive to restore nerve equilibrium, which in turn fortifies and strengthens the organs of nutrition, thus vitalizing the blood and promo Lint new cell and Us-, sue to take care of the waste forces. Three-grain cadomene tablets, packed in sealed tubes with full directions, are recommended in all such cases. m T. E. G. writes: "My rheumatism is getting worse all the time.
