Tortland born and educated in the Portland schools, had yearned to become an aviator for many months before the United Statea declared war airalnat Kal- serism. Just a year aao. After completing- the grammar grade the first part of last year, he went to Chicago and obtained employment In the factory of the K- B. Health Airplane Company. He remained there two months and ob tained a rudimentary knowledge of air plane construction. It was. plenty lotia enough for him to recognise the impor tance of aviation in the world conflict. He would become an aviator for L'nclc Sam! So younc Wong left Chlcasro about the time our Nation entered the war aa-alnst Germany for Cellna. O.. a small town a few miles from Dayton, the home othe Curt las brothers. He en tered the Beam School of Aviation with class of ?S other ambitious young Americans. He remained there eight months, graduating with high honors. He learned not only how to fly, but aHo how to assemble parts of airplanes. With the knowledge he already had received in the Chicago factory, he be came skilled In airplane construction. Hat his supreme ambition was to he re ached the Icenblce ranch at Pine Grove, seven miles esst of here, and are. being lal 1 at the rate of a quarter mile a day, according- to Chief Engl neer Bog ue, who is now in charge of the operations here. The grading- Is practically completed at Ulene and the road bed is ready for the rails at most points to the Dairy terminus. Inability to procure steel at any price under abnormal war conditions will prevent the contemplated imme diate extension of the line from Dairy on to Sprague Hiver, but it js the in tention now to go ahead with the road bed nnd other preliminaries as soon as the link to Dairy is completed, and be ready for the rails as soon as they can be secured. PSEUDO SOLDIER ARRESTED Wllilant lien to it Said to Have Con- - fessed to Many Thefts. The fact that various rooming-houses In Portland gave him more or less free rein because he wore an Army uniform proved tha undoing of William F. Kenton, who had been representing himself as a member of the Engineers' Corps, stationed at Vancouver Bar racks. The pseudo soldier was arrested yesterday morning: in the North End by Police Inspectors LaSalle and Maloney and Patrolman Parker on a larceny charge. It, is said that he confessed to Captain Circle yesterday that he had taken articles from at least 15 houses. In one lodging-house, it In reported, he took a cornet case, in which had been secreted a roll of hills amounting to about fioo. About $125 hi currency was found on his person when arrested J I 0(1 REED TO HEAR VETERANS Major Ackland and Dr. Harold Bean Among Speakers at College. Among- the assembly speakers at Reed College during April will be Ma jor P. P. Ackland, of the Canadian forces; Dr. Harold Bean, of the British army In France; Professor Victor Horta, of Brussels, Belgium, and John Bottles of Fort Wine Shipped Into State From California Contain Small Quantity of Olive Oil, Which Can Be Siphoned Off. With the arrest yesterday of L. L. Crocker, a druggist, by Deputy Sheriff George Hurlburt and Walter F. Garen, special agent for District Attorney Bvans, an investigation of another con coction which officials believe was manufactured to beat the Oregon pro hlbition laws has been "completed. No, tice was served by county officials to druggists throughout the city that wholesale arrests will be made if the sale of this beverage, known aa Porto. live, is not stopped at once. Crocker's arrest was -brought about because of an investigation of the al leged sale of this beverage to sohool boys. Evidence has been procured, Geren said, to show that employes Crocker's drug store, at 231 North Twenty-third street, not only have sold the beverage to minors, but they have also helped the youths to siphon what little olive oil found In the beverage in order that they may have a bottle of pure port wine. Olive Oil Only 5 Per Cent. According to the county officials. who have had this particular beverage under investigation, it contains about 0 per cent olive oil and the remainder is port wine. By siphoning off the most negligible quantity of olive oil. there remains parctically a complete bottle of port wine. Retail sales of the beverage at numerous drug stores during recent weeks are said to have been phenomenal. Portolive la manufactured by the J, Irving Proud Company, of Los Angeles. It was first Introduced to Portland s thirsty consumers several months ago, but when complaints began reaching the District Attorneys' office, drug gists began curbing the sales. Of re cent weeks, however, a large quantity is said to have been shipped Into the city, and the number of people who felt they needed a tonic made or olive oil and port wine Increased rapidly. Beverage Xot Tolerated. A Portland agent for the manufac turers appeared at the District Attor ney's office some time ago and asked for permission to sell fortollve to local drug stores. This agent was told that the beverage would not be tolerated. He then explained that under a new formula It had been decided to manu facture the tonic so that it would con tain 30 per cent olive oil. However, the bottles which have been secured show that this percentage of olive oil is not being used. At the Crocker drug store, , a num ber of emuty bottles were found, all of which contained ,a small portion of olive oil. All trace of the port wine was missing. -This shows on the face of It that the so-called tonic Is being purchased solely for the port wine It contains, said Mr. Geren. Federal Authorities Consulted. The county officials have determined to stop the retail sale of Portolive in Portland, and District Attorney Evans yesterday consulted with TJnfted States Attorney Haney with the view oi starting Federal prosecution for ship ping the beverage Into the state. "There Is no question out mis pev- erage is manufactured solely for sale in prohibition territory, saia .ir. Evans. "An analysis of the stuff shows that it is nothing more than California port wine with a few ounces of olive oil. and Is nothing more than a sub terfuge to supply liquid refreshments for people who want liquor."

Last Wednesday thousands, literally thousands of people stormed the building-. - Ag-ain, Thursday, the store was so overcrowded that the policeman on the beat advised us to "let in only a few at a time." And the door was opened for five minutes at intervals of an hour throughout the day. . . x A g-ood many people wondered how so many got in and none -came out. The secret may be told now they went out through the basement of the Pittock Building! It was the only way to get out, as' one woman put it, "with one's clothes on one's back!" , , rp H I S advertisement is being- written S'a t u r d a y ,af ternoon everybody has g-one to see the parade. It is the first opportunity we've had to write anything- for the paper since the saje started. As a matter of fact the sale doesn't need any publicity; the thousands who came, and saw, and bought, are advertising the sale better than the writer ever could. They're showing their friends and telling the most fascinating tale ever told in Portland. Here's a fine shop, filled with beautiful wearables of the -highest character things that gentlewomen love to own and selling- out at a third and a half less than former prices. This is because the store can't be made to pay. TO 0 N E of his closest friends Mr. Settle said: "I have tried my best to give Portland a 'Smart Shop' for women. You know what I mean one or two things of a kind at most-things that could not be found anywhere else. But it has been a profitless task. To continue would end in disaster. We 'are g-oing- to get out, while We can get out whole." - SO THE Waists, the Skirts, the Dresses, the Suits, the Coats, everything is marked down. Some things a little (.where the supply is limited), some things half and less. But nothing- is full price. Terms are cash, or cash on delivery, and deliveries, are made at our convenience. In the nature of the case, all sales are final. There can be no; exchang-es and no approvals. - , i AGO 0 D many fine people have called to express' their regret that so fine and dainty a store should be obliged to go out of business they were all sympathy. Of course these expressions are very flattering-, but they remind one of the story of a minister who met an old colleg-e chum selling- penny pies on a street corner in London. "I am sorry to see you in this position, my friend!" said the minister. "You have my deepest sympathy!" "Thanks for your sympathy," said the pie merchant, "but it doesn't get ME anywhere BUY A PIE!" Sale resumed Monday at 10 o'clock. - ' ttock J8foa QDaskLngton Jt. cfiortaricC I thank you. GEORGE FRANCIS ROWE. re. COLLEGE MEN CARED FOR Washington Slate and Reed Cnlte With fnlvcrslty Vnlon.
