Great success, so far, for the flax
growing experiment at Eugene, under
taken through the suggestion of the
flax committee of the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce, is reported to the lo
cal organization by George Quayle, sec
retary of the Eugene Chamber of Com
merce. An excellent Quality of fibre has been
obtained, one-carload of seed has been
sold and another Is ready. The total
receipts for seed will be between $2500
and $2700.
Perhaps the most gratifying thing
about the whoLf flax experiment is that
while the Eugene Chamber of Com
merce guaranteed to pay growers of
flax $7.60 an acre for their crop, the
returns will be over that figure. Just
how much remains to be determined
when all returns are in.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
has been active for a long time in
promoting flax culture experiments
throughout various parts of the Wil
lamette Valley, wherever conditions are
thought favorable to its growth.
The Chamber has a flax committee
that has made a study of flax possi
bilities in Oregon and the opinion of
experts, favorable to building up a flax
Industry in this state, has been se
cured. The committee consists of the follow
ing men: Dr. E. A. Pierce, H. B. Mil
ler, Will Lipman and William McMur
ray. In a letter Just received by the
Portland Chamber, Mr. Quayle says:
"Yesterday we took out the sixth
retting and installed the seventh. We
have one or two more rettings of flax,
when we will have completed the ret
ting of the entire crop other than what
is being retted by the farmers for tow.
"We are out of the woods. Rain will
..not seriously interfere with our opera
tions. Every machine in the flax plant
is in operation today, except that we
are not as yet working up the long
line. The warm water retting, is an
absolute success. The fibre we get
from that retting is oily and retains
its strength. We have Just placed on
the field the prettiest retting we have
had and we held the temperature of
the water to 85 degrees.
"From the best information the writer
can obtain, nine out of 10 flax plants in
the United States have failed. So far
we are unable to locate any serious er
rors made on our part, but are looking
for the nigger in the wood pile and he
may show up a little later."

SIGNS ON ROAD ADVISED
Motorists Are Unable to Tell When
City Limits Reached, Says One.
Philip S. Easterday, manager of the
Concrete Pipe Works, who was fined
$15 by Municipal Judge Langguth on
Wednesday on the charge of speeding,
has written a letter of complaint to
Mayor Albee, in which he characterized
the St. Helens road to Linnton as a
"trap for motorists."
The arrest was made by Motorcycle
Patrolman Whitehead, who testified In
court that Mr. Easterday had been
going at the rate of 30 miles an hour.
Mr. Easterday said he presumed the
road to be outside the city limits.
He suggests the placing of warning

VA TANGUAY, the cyclonic, the
best-known woman on the Amer
ican stage and one of its most
remarkable artists, is to appear here
for the first time at the Heilig Theaier
for two nights and two matinees, No
vember 9-10, under the direction of
William Morris, who has made the
Harry Lauder tours world-famous.
Eva Tanguay is a name to conjure
with. She is said to have played to
larger audiences, has produced more
sensational acts and made more friends
than any woman on the American stage
today. Critics ' the country over have
sought to analyze the wonderful power
which she exerts over her auditors. She
has been called in turn cyclonic, vi
brant, hypnotic and in fact the entire
list of adjectives has been exhausted
in attempts to describe her.
"Solve the problem of telepathic in
fluence and you have the answer to Eva
Tanguay's vogue," says one critic. "It
may not be that she is able to talk to
you through space, but that she Im
bues you with the same nervous sensi
tiveness which dominates her whole
being is a fact which no one who sees
her act will be able to gainsay."
Mr. Morris has given Miss Tanguay
the support which her pre-eminence in
her profession demands. Chief in her
support is Charles J. Ross, a comedian
of splendid talent and the best-known
portrayer of travesty In America. In
addition to an act which he will pre
sent with his company entitled "Just
Like a Woman," Mr. Ross arfd MTss
Tanguay will do a travesty on "Sa-
lone." which is promised to be one of
- " " ? ,
V l H i
the biggest sensations thatthe stage
has seen in years. This, presentation
will be entirely apart from Miss Tan
guay's specialty, in which she will pre
sent all her famous songs and exhibit
her wonderful gowns.

Seaside Logging Increases.
SEASIDE. Or., Oct. 28. (Special.)
The Upper Necanicum country is booked
to furnish its pro rata of the logs which
the accelerated demand for lumber is
causing. Olson Bros., who are operat
ing several logging camps In this vi
cinity are establishing a camp seven
miles up the Necanicum from here. This
camp will give employment to a large
number of men. The logging camps are

Kocheng Cnung, who will play

tion of Tristrand Bernard's
"Krench Without a Master,"
which the Reed College Drama
Club will stage in about a month,
is a native of China and a grad
uate of Tsing Hua College at
Pekln.
Mr. Kocheng entered Reed Col
lege last year on advanced stand
ing. He was sent to this country
on a scholarship paid by the
Chinese government. At Tsing
Hua he distinguished himself as
a debater and a college newspa
per man. He is a thorough mas

is a member of the senior class
debating team that won the
championship of the college from
the freshmen this week.
in June to raise funds for the purpose
win stand.
Commissioner Baker declared that
the members of the Council are insln
cere in their stand. "You all admit,"
he said, "that South Portland children
are entitled to a playground and that
it should be established. You decided
this question three years ago, and if
you had been sincere you would have
established the play place long before
this.
"You all know that this Council can
do anything It wants, and it has done
everything that there has been any
sincere Interest in. You have put
through this project for the elimina
tion of the grade crossings on the East
Side and you have put through a lot
of other things that you said were
needed. The reason you put them
through was because you sincerely be
lieved they were needed. If you had
been sincere you would have given
South Portland a playground, for, as
you all admit, there is a great need
and the district Is entitled to what it
has asked for. And you came to real
ize these conditions and facts three
years ago, according to your own ad
missions. You even went so far as to
look over the ground."
Mayor Albee took exception to Mr.
Baker's attack. He declared that Mr.
Baker had no right to brand the Com
missioners as Insincere merely because
they did not see things as he did. "You
have your views and we have outs,
said the Mayor. "We say South Port
land should have a playground fo
children, but we differ as to the method
of getting It."
I declare," replied Mr. Baker, "that
any body of men having the powe
that we do cannot be sincere when
we admit that something should be
done and then don't do it during three
years that we know of the need."
Commissioner Baker asked the Com
missioners to express tneir views on
the $60,000 appropriation. "There 1

changed his mind. "Let's have th
answer and have It over with. Has

we voted before?"
The Mayor and three Commissioners.
Daly, Dieck and Blgelow, who voted
against the $60,000 appropriation, all

Round Models
Year-'
Advance Designs on Show
A Surprise Demand WhichMakers Cannot Meet
1A New-Type Sedan Top Removable
2 The Mitchell Springfield Type Sedan
3 Cabriolet The Mitchell Coupe Roadster
4 All-Season Limousines and Coupes
Here are some facts which call
for prompt consideration if you
seek a winter car.
First, there is a dearth of cars
this fall fitted for year-'round ser
vice. And those are the coming
types. There will not be half
enough.
Second, in the Mitchell models
the advance designs there is a
very small production. And you'li
prefer these models.
A 20-Fold Demand
We suppose the demand for all
season types has increased twenty
fold in a year.
And history shows that when a
trend gains that momentum it
soon dominates the field.
So this is sure: A large percent
age pf buyers hereafter will de
mand one car for all weathers and
seasons. That demand is rooted
in good sense, so it is bound to
flourish.
But it has grown so fast that
fine-car makers this fall cannot
half-way meet it There will be
an enormous shortage. So folks
who seek a car of this sort should
decide at once.
Next -Year Models
The Mitchell luxury models
now on exhibit are designs just
completed for the 1917 Shows.
They- were all designed under
John W. Bate, the famous effi
ciency expert. And under his
motto "Do everything In the
best way that anybody knows."
So our craftsmen first examined
all the other fine models built All
the latest European and Ameri
can. No attractive feature any
where has been overlooked.
These new Mitchells, therefore,
combine more appealing features
than any other single car. You can
prove that in five minutes.
But these are advance models.
. This fall's production is extremely
limited, and it is nearly sold. So
if you want one of them we must
know at once.
Five New Designs
We have a new-type Demount
able Top which fits the Mitchell
Touring Car. The windows and
supports disappear when not
wanted, as in the Springfield type.
This doesn't look like an added
top. It doesn't overlap. It looks
like a Sedan, with electric dome

In the Mitchell Limousine all
windows drop. And so in the
Mitchell Coupe. Thus all these five
types render year-'round service.
Many Extra Features
In all Mitchell models you will
find many extra features. They
are paid for by factory savings, due
to John W. Bate. His efficiency
methods and this model plant give
us enormousad vantage. Compared
with the average car in this class,
the Mitchell offers at least 20 per
cent extra value.
The Mitchell of today embodies
700 improvements which John W.
Bate has made. Most of them
mean added strength and en
durance. You will want the Mitchell when
you know it So we urge you to
see these luxury models while we
can still supply them.

Tha handicap endured by pupils of

institution.

Officer, with Doctors F. A. Kiehle,

the medical profession, will examine
each pupil of the school, with the ob
ject of ascertaining the physical capa
bilities and limitations.
It is not improbable that, as a result
of the survey, the method of instruc
tion by classes may be changed to that
of grouping the pupils by physical
classification. For some time Superin
tendent G. S. Tillinghast, of the school,
has felt that the results attained were
hampered by physical drawbacks aside
from the absence of speech and bear

the State Board of Health in the "mat

OLD RECIPE
TO

HAR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and luster
to the hair -when faded, streaked or
gray. Tears ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make It at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drugstore for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound." You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe Improved
by the addition of other ingredients
for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite. It is not Intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease. Adv.
