SALEM. Or., Oct. 27. (Special.) The
new clubhouse of the Illlhee Golf Club
near Finzer, five miles south of Salem,

grand ball, at which were gathered the
leading citizens of this vicinity. The
ball was one of the main social events
of the season and the interior of the
club was decorated for the occasion.

top of a high hill overlooking the mag
nificent sweep of the Willamette Val
ley for miles, with the Willamette River
winding below on the west.

The building is 40 feet wide by 9
feet long, with verandas on the east
and north 14 feet wide, and has a full
basement. The outside walls are con
structed entirely of eight-inch peeled
Oregon fir logs, and the same rustic
finish is carried on in the interior. The
basement contains men's and women's
locker rooms, toilet rooms, lunch room,
storage room and heating plant.
The first floor has the kitchen, din
ing alcove and lounging room, 40 by 50
feet. The lounging room is provided
with an exceptionally fine dance floor,
with a large cobblestone fireplace on
the south end. Across the south end,
over the dining alcove and kitchen. Is
a gallery from which open living quar

with all the facilities for a modern
club building. The building committee
included T. A. Liveslcy, Homer H.
Smith and C. P. Bishop.

PROFITS ALLEGED LARGE
Mr. Iloff Asserts Increased MoTlng
Picture Prices Will Give Owners
Three Cents Profit on
Every Ticket Sold.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 27. (Special.)
Labor Commissioner Hoff today issued
a statement attacking motion picture
houses for increasing their charges
from 15 to 20 cents.
In his statement he says in part:
""We should hesitatw about sitting in
Judgment on the man that has nothing
but his hands to keep himself, his wife
and children from misery, when it is a
fact that some business men are re
sponsible for the conditions which have
been forced upon us- an excuse for
fleecing the workmen. : This fact does
not excuse the workmen for doing that
which pleases the enemy, but it does
accuse the man who is coining the life
blood of our boys into increased profits.
Profiteering Is Charged.
"Mr. Hoover gives many instances
substantiating the charge of excess
profiteering. I will cite but one par
ticular instance of the many which I
have investigated to some extent in
Portland; the moving picture ehows.
Some of them have already, and others
are going to, raise the admission fee
5 cents. The playhouses which I in
quired into have a total attendance in
the eight performances during the day
of from 3000 to 10,000 each. The col
lection- of the additional 5 cents means
from $150 to $500 additional revenue
each day. Of the 5 -cents extra charge
tue theater retains 3 cents, giving the
Government 2 cents, or from $90 to ;00
a day extra profits.
"In this connection it should be
taken into consideration that when
wages began to rise, some of these
shows increased their price of admis
sion 5 cents, an increase of 60 per cent.
I do not know of any workman getting
more than 50 per cent increase in
wages, while rent and price of elec
tricity remain the same.
Most Correct Conditions.
"It is such conditions as these, which
exist in other trades as well, and which
contribute to the feeling that the
'Huns' at home are doing more harm to
our cause than are the "Huns' the boys
must face abroad. The latter stab is
from the front, while the 'Huns' at
home are stabbing them in the back.
Such conditions as these are increas
ing the blood-drenching of freedom's
battlefield, and will be responsible for
crepe on more American doors, if not
corrected.
"It also should be remembered that
these excess profits along different
lines will be passed on to the industries
by increase in wages. There should
be no extra war profits, nor excuse for
making war fortunes at the expense of
our country, which we should be ready
to defend with our dollars as well as
our sons' and our brothers' lives."

Progress of the War.
ITA
te
TALIS mettle Is being critically
ested by the tremendous Teutonic
drive on the Isonzo front under com
mand of Emperor Charles, of Austria.
Apparently virtually the entire Aus
trian army and strong German forces
are pitted against the Italians.
From the first blows General Ca-
dorna s second army has suffered
serious shock, and Berlin claims the
defeat of this section of the Italian
forces, from which it announces the
capture of 60,000 men and 450 guns.
These losses seem to bear out the Ger
man claim as to the fate of this Ital-
Fho to
ian army, but apparently the crucial
hour has not yet come which will de
termine whether the Austro-Oerman
host can be held at the mountain passes
and prevented from overflowing into
the 'fertile plains of Venezla
Semi-official utterances reveal that
all possible preparations have been
made in Home to meet the great emer
gency. Each day, however, sees the
invading armies making additional
headway. Commanding Italian heights
along the border east and northeast
of Tolmino are beginning to fall, while
Berlin claims that virtually the entire
Italian Isonzo front has been shaken.
From the western front the most Im
portant news to Americans was that
announcing the presence of American
troops in the first-line trenches along
side -French infantrymen and of Amer
ican artillery parked with Krench bat
teries, sending the first American
aimed shots of the war at the German
lines. These troops have not taken
over the quiet sector In which they are
stationed, but -are under French direc
tion. The first statement issued from
American headquarters in France re
ported the men deporting themselves
most satisfactorily.
The British In Flanders were engaged
Saturday In making secure the posi
tions they won Friday, the more im
portant of which was the Bellevue
spur, west of Paaschendaele, a valuable
dominating ridge brilliantly taken and
held by the Canadians in hard fighting.
The French on the Flanders line went
further ahead Saturday, capturing Ger
man trenches north of the objectives
reached on Friday.
The Russians are continuing to move
ahead in the Riga region, apparently
with some caution. ;

OLMSTED GETS

PROMO-
First Man Prom This State to Advance
-to Ilish Naval Command Was
Baker Appointee.
Percy N. Olmsted, who was started on
a naval career when he received an ap
pointment from this state to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, has recently
been advanced to a Captaincy in the
United States Navy. In reporting this
act to The Oregonian, Charles A. Johns,
Portland attorney, expresses the belief
Percy X. Olmsted, Former Ores;
nlan. Who fins Been Commis

that Captain Olmsted la the first Ore
gon man to have reached a position as
Captain in the Navy by way of the mid
shipman s course.
Captain Olmsted was a resident of
Baker, Or., when appointed to the Naval
Academy about 18S6. as recalled by Mr,
Johns, who was then living in Baker
and was an intimate friend of ttie
young man. He is the son or M. L. Olm
sted, who has since left tnis state and
become a resident of San Diego, Cal.
Mr. Johns has received word both
directly and indirectly that Captain
Olmsted, as senior officer, was recently
In command of a group of transports

Employes umbcr 1449, 'VIiicli Is
Considered Fair Average, of
AA'hlcU 1011 Receive Salaries
or Wages pf 91200 or Less.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 27. (Special.)
The committee created by the last Leg
islature to investigate the question of
consolidating -commissions and elimin
ating duplications of state activities
is seriously contemplating recommend
ing to the next Legislature that state
employes be placed upon a civil service
basis, according to information which
has been received here.
It is understood that the Commission
Is not a unit as yet on this plan, but
that some discussions along that line
have been indulged in among the mem
bers, some of them opposing the idea.
Such a recommendation. If carried
would be somewhat revolutionary in its
nnture. A digest of state employes
shows that 1419 were on the state pay
roll at the close of last year, but the
number fluctuates from time to time.
This is considered as a fair approx
imate average. The total state payroll
for last year wan SI, 635, 320. 76.
All of these, however, would not come
under civil service regulations, it
is believed, if the committee should
make a recommendation along that line
which would be adopted.
In the State Capitol there are 171 em
ployes who come under the head of
clerical or stenographic employes, al
though this number also changes from
time to time. Out of the entire list of
1440 employes at the end of last year,
119 received over $2400 per annum; 109
received between S1800 and $2400 and
1011 received $1200 or under.
It Ui likely that any civil service
plans recommended would not extend
to such employes as attendants at
state institutions, or ordinary laborers,
but it is probable that several hundred
state employes might be affected should
such a proposal come to a head. Civil
service for state employes is not a new
idea, having from time to time ap
peared before various Legislatures, but
always to be rejected.

BANQUET WILL BE HELD
Governor, Mayor and Other Public
Officials Will Be Guests at Func
tionMikado's Honto lias
Ruled 2577 Tears.
A little matter of 2577 years ago the
first Japanese Emperor ascended the
throne. Next Wednesday night Japa
nese of Portland will celebrate the
birthday anniversary of the reigning
Mikado, who is. the direct descendant
of the ancient line of rulers.
Sukeyukl Akamatu, Consul for Ja
pan in this city, will issue invitations
to fellow countrymen, to Governor
Withycombe and other officials of Ore-
on, to Mayor Baker and to distin
guished citizens of Portland to partici
pate in the felicitations of the occasion
at a formal banquet to be given in the
the Hotel Multnomah.
It really isn't his birthday, not by
two months. The present Emperor of
Japan was born on August 31. 1S79.
Because August is somewhat torrid in
the land of cherry-bloom, official proc
lamation fixed this national holiday of
Japan at a later date.
By the Japanese traditional history
the Island empire was settled by one
family, whose direct descendants now
comprise the people of Japan. Hence.
to the Japanese, all of their race are
brothers or cousins. The diversity of
family names is explsined by the an
cient custom, now in disuse, of the con
ferring of an individual name by the
Emperor upon the sons who left the
family roof-tree. To the eldest son
alone remained the family name.
The Emperor of Japan is without
name, other than the title of his high
dignity. The title of Mikado, commonly
used by Occidentals, is seldom heard in
Japan or encountered anywhere save
in classical literature. The title em
ployed by the Japanese Is that of
Tenno, signifying "Heavenly Emperor."
Singularly enough, this term was bor
rowed from the Chinese, even the writ-ten-characters
being adopted. The pro
nunciation, however, varies.
The first Emperor of Japan, who
reigned more than 25 centuries ago.
was of the family of Jinmu. clan chief
tains who were the leaders of the peo
ple before the line of Emperors was
decreed. But the Mikado does not bear
this name, nor the calling of any fam
ily. He is the "Heavenly Emperor."
Consul Akamatu is of an ancient
Samurai family, prominent in the pages
of Japanese history and in the annals
of island folk lore. And the Samurai
were the warrior Nipponese, the two-
sword fighting clans.
"It is odd about my family name,'
smilingly replies Mr. Akamatu when
quizzed. "It is known to all Japanese
that my ancestors were of high rank
and honored for their services. But .at
other times well, an Akamatu led a
great rebellion when the empire was
in two factions.
"At school It used to cause me much
embarrassment, as we studied our his
tory, to have the class glance at me
and laugh when someone read aloud,
An Akamatu led the rebellion.' "
The Japanese national anthem, which
will be sung at the banquet on the
Emperor's birthday, is called "Kiml-
gayo," signifying literally "the reign
of our Emperor."

which is the only economical method
for handling the proposition and still
leave anything for operation expenses.
On the other hand, teaming to a siding
on the railroad is so slow and expen
sive the Board feels it cannot be made
a fair demonstration of the worth of
the project. They hope to be able to
get around the difficulty by finding
means to increase their fun'ds so as to
permit the equipment of the quarry
with a tram and still leave funds with
which to operate. In any event, lime
will be forthcoming for Willamette
