18 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 1917. ALASKA COUNTRY TO DREAM ABOUT Mrs. George E. Jackson Tells of Trip to Verge of Arctic Circle. JAUNT TO BE REMEMBERED Portland Woman Goes Xortli With Two Indian Girls Wanted as Witnesses In " Trial at JFort Dearborn. Vo the verge of the Arctic Circle and home again as a special agent of the 1 Department of Justice is an experience that Mrs. George K. Jackson, of &35 Montgomery street, would not ex change for any trip in Die catalogue of travel. .Mrs. Jackson, the wife of George E. Jackson, Ueputy United States Marshal, of Portland, was commissioned on July 24 to convey two young Indian girls, from Portland and Seattle, as federal witnesses to distant Ruby, Alaska, where they were to appear In a case to be heard on August 15. Ruby lies at the threshold of the Arctic, within 200 miles of Behring Sea, and Mrs. Jackson 'and her wards arrived In the hustling mining camp and Army out post on August 14, the day before the triaL She remained for 16 days. Of the trip down the Yukon River, through the Alaskan interior, the plucky' Portland woman, speaks, in phrases of no half-hearted enthusiasm. She saw Alaska with the eyes of a con vert to that northern empire's vast ness of beauty and natural resource, and declares that she was continually amazed by the prodigality of vege tation and the undreamed fertility of the soil and softness of climate. Summer Clothes Xecesvarj I took my heaviest Winter cloth ing," laughs Mrs. Jackson, "but I wouldn't advise anyone else to do that during the Summer season, for I was compelled to buy Summer clothes be fore I returned. Incidentally, the quar ter is Alaska's smallest change. 1 had a purse full of nickles and dimes, but nobody seemed to want them." From the decks of the Tukon River boats, which Airs. Jackson describes as the last word in convenience and com fort for the traveler, she saw the huge Alaskan brown bear, goal of every sportsman's desire, climb lumberlngly up the rocks, as huge as an ox not one bear, but many of them. As for black bear, they were not even an in cident. And once, when the steward casually inquired for fresh meat, they hot a caribou from the deck and haled the big deer of the barrens on board. The Alaskan trip to White Horse was made via the Yukon & White Pajss Railway. Thence the trip was con tinued by boat. The Yukon hurries about its business with such zeal that the inward trip, from White Horse to Dawaon, takes but two days, whereas it requires five to beat back against the stiff, panicky current. Similarly, the trip from Dawson to Ruby con sumes four days, while the return voy age demands twice as many. As a guest on the steamboat Daw son, Mrs. Jackson met' Captain I. H. Sanborn, a former captain on the Co lumbia River and well known in this city. Captain Sanborn, who com manded the steamer White Horse when the Yukon rush was on, is now cap tain of the palatial Lake Atlln pleasure boat Tushl, and was back ori the river for a single trip while the Dawson's regular captain was on leave. Great Mine I Vlnlted. At Dawson it was that Mrs. Jackson lsited the great Klondike mine, one of the largest placer properties in the world, where batteries of huge hy draulic giants tear at the gold-bearing gravel cliffs. At Circle City, where ihe Yukon swings six miles within the Arctic Circle, the Portland woman stopped for a sufficient length of time to study the Alaskan Indians, girt about by the prized property, hordes of wolf-eyed huskies, the draft dogs of the Alaskan country. . They have them In numbers from 17 to 57," said Mrs. Jackson, "and no possession is so Jealously guarded as are these sledge-dogs, many of which are of great value." At Kort Yukon, an army post, Mrs. Jackson talked with the officers and soldiers of the small garrison now sta tioned there. The majority were or dered into foreign service some time ago, and those who remain are eager to leave the northern part for France and an active part in the great war. Mrs. Jackson visited Rex Beach's cabin at Rampart, where his old Scan- GIRLS! MOISTEN A CLOTH AND DRAW ITT It Becomes Beautifully Soft. Wavy, Abundant and J Glossy at Once. Save Your Hair!

It was in the little cabin at Rampart that Rex Beach wrote 'The Barrier." and others of his widely known novels. Ruby, the end of the trip, is also an army post, officially known as Kort Dearborn. Mrs. Jackson remained there for 16 days, visiting the Indian mission and hospital and taking sev eral excursions to the creeks of the district, where many placer mines are in operation. Very reluctantly she et about the return Journey August 29, arriving in Seattle September 22, where she visited for several days before coming to Portland. "The vigor of Alaskan growth and vegetation astonished me," said Mrs. Jackson. "Cabbages and potatoes and other vegetables were of huge propor- ' v5SS? ' " J- $ I f " 7 " 'it 3Ira. C-eorce K.

NOVEL PLAY TO GOME HENRIETTA CROSMA TO APPEAR IX BARN'ABETTA. Play Scheduled for October 11 at Ifeillff Is From P-n of Minus Marian de ForeRt. Henrietta Crosman, one of the most distinguished of American actresses, will be at the Heilig Theater Octo ber 11. Additional interest attaches to Miss Crosman'a present visit, since she will be seen in a brand-new comedy placed in an atmosphere made use of on the stape for the first time, entitled "Erst while Susan." It is from the pen of Marian de Forest, recalled for her "Lsittle Women," Miss JJe Forest hav ing found her story in Helen R. Mar tin's novel, "Barnabetta." The playwright has succeeded ad mirably in transferrins- from the book to the theater the quaint characteris tics of the Pennsylvania IHitch. among whom Mrs. Martin placed her story. and has supplied Miss. Crosman with one of the most delightful comedy roles she has had in recent seasons. Her present role, in fact, marks the return of this splendid artist to the field in which she excels, that of deft, brilliant light comedy. Answering an advertisement placed in a Pennsylvania newspaper for a wife by tight-fisted, surly Barnaby Dreary, Susan Miller, an affected, pos ing lady, high-flown In speech and "in dividual" In dress, finds herself the wife of a most bigoted and narrow Pennsylvania Dutchman, and the step mother of two grown young men and a girl in her teens, Barnabetta. The miserable existence of this little step daughter appeals to Susan's heart and awakens the world-old note of mother love. So she sets to work to win Barnabetta her freedom and the man she loves. How, despite her super ficial airs and graces, Susan accom plishes this, forms an amusing and in teresting story. Joseph Riter, under whose manage ment Miss Crosman appears, has sur rounded her with an exlellent com pany. 'QUARTERS' ARE SOUGHT Kl'XD BEING RAISED FOR CHRIST MAS PRESEXT8 FOR SOLDIERS.

CLASSES START TUESDAY Physical Training Made Obligatory This Year and Saturday Ses sions Eliminated Students Can Earn Money. Reed College will -open tomorrow morning, and for the new term two im portant changes have been announced. Physical training has been added to the course as a requisite and Saturday classes have been abolished. Under the new arrangement five hours of physi cal training a week will be required. Saturday classes have been abolished, after four years' trial, to enable stu dents to do outside remunerative or research work. Tomorrow will be registration day and the regular college work will begin Tuesday morning, with chapel exercises at 8:30 o clock. Dr. T. u. Knot speaking. Although Reed College has been drawn on heavily in the war, a good number of the upper classmen having either enlisted or won commissions, the advance inquiry at the college indi cates a reasonably heavy enrollment of men and a heavy enrollment of women. The college will continue its policy of charging no registration, library, grad uation, diploma or laboratory fees. Sev eral loan funds are available for stu dents. Statistics recently compiled show that the cost to the college for the educa tion of each student last year was $400. The tuition fee is only $100. Interesting figures have also been compiled on the cost of living in the dormitories. The Halls, at a rental of $40 a semester for each student, yield the college a gross income of 1.5 mills each day to the square foot. Figured on a similar basis the charges at certain other in stitutions are: Princeton 4, 'Williams 3.9. Chicago 3.6. Dartmouth 3.1, Indi ana 2.9, Harvard 2.8 and Columbia 2.8. Opportunity for Reed students to earn a part of their expenses will be con siderably increased this year with the elimination of Saturday classes. A re cent investigation revealed that about 70 per cent of the students were par tially self-supporting and that more than 50 per cent of the students re ceived incomes from the college. Thirty students each earned from $100 upwards as assistants, in . the various departments of the college, last year more than $10,000 being paid by the college to student assistants. The college has ten loan funds from which help is given to students. MOTORS SUPPLANT HORSES City Will Sell 4 4 Animals at Auc tion Kelt Saturday. Score another point for motor-driven vehicles.

I Reputation is what PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE. Character is WHAT YOU REALLY ARE. Reputation is a fickle jade she follows the crowd, listens to the jingle of money, bestows her favors upon worthy and unworthy alike.' Dr. Cook, of North Poll fame, was placed upon a pedestal of fame by reputation, and in the .space of a few short weeks was torn from his lofty place and became the laughing stock of two continents. Customers ' are either satisfied or dissatisfied either way they spread the news, and reputation follows. Go among my patients and my friends and they will tell you my reputation is good; go among my enemies and they will tell you there are no words of sufficient strength in their vocabulary with which to describe my reputation. ' I pride myself that no man leaves my office with a feeling that he has been robbed; that no woman ever left my office with a blush upon her face; that no child who placed confidence in my claim of painless extraction ever had cause to feel that I had abused his innocent faith in me. If I had lacked character' the people would have soon deserted me and my cause would have been lost. Any Dentist Can Cut Prices, But It Takes Brains to TURN OUT BETTER WORK!
