If ASTORIA GAY HOST TO PORTLAND MEH THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. SEPTE3IBER: 15, 1918. Business Men,-Merchants Get Hearty Reception on Arrival, NEW SPIRIT PREVAILS, NOW Ghost of Past Is Buried and Two Cities to Co-operate, on Big Things for River--Points of Interest Seen. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 14. (Special.) Today was Portland day 'in Astoria, when about 100 merchants and busi-. ness men from the metropolis were the guests of the local Chamber of Com xnerce. The meeting: was the occasion for many expressions of good fellowship and it is believed that much good was accomplished in bringing- about a bet ter understanding- between the business xnen of the two cities and a determin ation to work more harmoniously for the benefit of the Columbia River dis trict and for Oregon. Ce operation Is Keyaote. President f I. L. Corbett spoke for the Portland Chamber of Commerce. He said that he came to Astoria primarily to bury the ghost of the past. He ad mitted that there had been some jeal ousies between the two cities, but there was no room for any animosities in the future. "What is good for Astoria is good for Portland and we are with you in all things pertaining to the industrial advancement of the state." he said. "The thing for the people to do is co operate. We cannot rehabilitate the commerce of the Columbia River unless we work together. The Columbia is the greatest river that flows into the Pacific Ocean. Why not get the full use of it? The Nation is going to have 20,000.000 tons of commerce alter the .war is over and part of that business ts going to come to the Columbia. It Is our duty to keep in touch tvlth the maritime advancement so that we will be prepared to handle the tonnage when It lis offered." City's Growth Noteworthy. A. H. Pevers was another speaker for Portland. He recited the growth of Astoria as one worthy of the atten tion of every business man in the atate. It was a distinct advantage to Portland to have an Improved harbor at the mouth of the Columbia and the new docks were a compliment to the people of Astoria for showing the faith in their own works, he said. Astoria shipyards have launched 19 vessels and have contracts that -Indicate the ways will be occupied for a long while. The visitors were shown where the Kmergency Fleet Corporation proposes to build a marine railway. Also the line for the proposed belt rail way that the city of Astoria has let the contract for, extending from the port docks to the Mcfclachern Ship yards. The docks, grain elevator and coal bunkers under control of the Port of Astoria were among the interestin places in the trip of the afternoon. Baaqnrt Is Held. Later a trip was made to the mouth of the river on the united States steamship Manxanita and. a special gun practice given at Fort Stevens under the direction of Colonel Rafferty. Re turning to the city, a banquet was held and later a speaking programme in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. Many of the members are returning on the night boat, others remaining over to spend- Sunday at Seaside.

Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, -and ruins It.

The playhouse - wore Its company reas. which, by the way, it will wear 11 season. Flowers banked the lobby and after the second act. When pre sented to the players, the stage was a gorgeous array of blossoms, behind hlch the smiling players bowed acknowledgments. All the players were greeted warmly at their entrances nd both Alice 'Fleming and Edward Everett Horton received. The play, a farce comedy called "Johnny Get Tour Gun." is a happy selection and proved most diverting. It is a delightful, gay little story. replete with brilliant dialogue and clever situations. The company in its ntirety and to the individual Is excel lent. Miss Fleming plays the maid with a demure charm and charm of voice, back Mr. Horton wades into the role of the of which her personality sparkles, likable Westerner- with apparent relish and a slow dellberateness and mental analysis of all he says which' appeals immediately. Will E. Lloyd as the addle-fated type of nobility gave one of the keenest, most alertly, artistic studies of his career with us. Ann Winston was charming and -played with unwonted brilliancy as -the slater. and Vaughn Morgan was her dashing hero. Marie Curtis in an adventuress role, .displayed dramatic sincerity, and Jessie Brink as a social climber speak ing atrocious French was a keen de light. James Guy Usher as a level headed attorney. Smith Davles as a villain. William Dills as a valet with a past, and Jack Carter as a butler, added materially to the adventure In the motion picture scene James A. Bliss, company director, appeared to splendid advantage as the picture di rector, witn pretty Catherine Graham as the movie debutante. Carlton Allard as a Chaplin rival, Eric Byron and Charles W. Kemp completed the big cast. The opening last night was in the nature of a housewarmlng.

'Since Tanlac has done so much for me I don't doubt anything good I read or hear about it," said Mrs. Lillian Bills, residing at 1147 East 30th street North, recently. "About four months ago," continued Mrs. Bills, "I caught a very bad cold, following which my appetite left roe and my stomach got all out of order. What little I did manage to eat would sour and fill me up with gas, causing fainty feelings, nausea and vomiting spells. I had fearful headaches, was nervous and couldn't sleep well at night. I was very badly run down and would get up in the mornings feeling even more tired than on retiring at night I,never felt like going out any place in the evenings and enjoying my self like other people because I felt so worn-out all the time and really I hard ly had sufficient strength and energy to look after my household duties. "If I had not found out about Tanlao I would still be suffering, because I neer commenced to get better until I began taking this medicine. I am now feeling like an entirely different wom an and have also gained eight pounds. My appetite Is so fine that I could eat five meals a day instead of the usual three, and nothing I eat hurts me any. more. I ' sleep like a child, hav no more headaches or other bad feelings and am enjoying splendid health. Tan lac has done for me what nothing else would and, of course, I think it is the very best."
