CoBT-ention Spirit Permeates City Chosen for Gambols of Antlered I Herd This Month. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) Eacti day sees Klamath Falls taking on an increasing bit of the pre-convention spirit that promises to reach a high mark in enthusiasm and activity in mid-August. The smallest boy in town who is able to talk can tell a stranger much about the Elks' convention which is set for August 14. 15 and 16. E. B. "Bert" Hall, manager of the White Pelican and Hall hotels and gen eral chairman of the convention, is the busiest man in town. He is living, talking and dreaming in a purple hue. Clarence Underwood, exalted ruler, finds little time to spend in his drug store. He vowed many weeks ago to lay aside business cares if they inter fered with 'antler" duties. Wilson S. Wiley, attorney, recently returned from the Atlantic City national convention, is all agog for the big days to arrive. Even Mayor I. R. Strubble. usually most calm and reticent, displays ner vousness whn you press him too closely on city business affairs. His mind is with the Elks. "Accommodations how are you go ing to house and feed all the visitors during the three days" a fortnight ago was the most asked question on the streets. Today Elks and others are assured that every visitor in town will get a place to put his head at night. All available space in town in halls and buildings has been - re quisitioned. Five hundred army cots are assured and close to 1000 campers will be able to find tent space in the two large camp grounds that the city is setting aside for convention visitors. A huge stucco arch that will span Main street in front of the Elks- build ing, is under construction. Work of beautifying the city is under the super vision of the Miles Sign company of Portland. On the matter of entertainment, street dancing, band concerts, rodeo stunts, sideshows and all the carnival features known will be included. Special com mittees are working among the women of the town to assure the comfort and entertainment of the wives and rela tives of visiting Elks. Harriman Lodge, the summer home of the late E. H. Harriman, will be the scene of the monster barbecue that is set for Friday evening. It will be juite the last word in barbecues if plans of H. D. Mortenson, president of the Peli can Bay Lumber company, are carried tout. The road is clear for three of the biggest days that this town has ever known. Klamath Falls will be ready and prepared at midnight on August 13. lean moving films are increasing in popularity here. Until 18 months ago European pictures were favored by the public which had acquired a taste for French and Italian productions. Of late, however, American manufacturers have put their products to the fore in the republic and their films are to be found in virtually all picture houses, in many of them displacing altogether the European films. Evidences that the United States manufacturers intend to expand their field here is the fact that within the past -few weeks three of' the leading companies have established offices in Mexico City and these in turn have started branches in Vera Cruz. Guada lajara, San Luis Potosi and Monterey. Representatives of these firms assert that in a short time Mexico will receive film releases almost simultaneously with the United States. This will be an innovation, for heretofore managers have been content to receive films many months old and of a poor quality. DRYDOCK NEAR COMPLETION PEARL HARBOR DEDICATION SET FOR LATE AUGUST. SUGAR FIELD BROADENED PROFIT - SHARING CONTRACTS OFFERED GROWERS. Independent Cane Raisers Given Op portunity by Owners of Large Hawaiian Plantations. HONOLULU, T. H., July 20. (Special.) Making an entirely new depicture in the history of sugar raising in Hawaii, the C. Brewer & Co. plantations on the island of Hawaii will in the future of fer what amounts to profit-sharing contracts to independent sugar-cane growers. The plan is that the company shall pay the producers a certain basic rate for their cane. Then the total manu facturing cost shall be subtracted, leav- ng the total net return on the crop. From this net an additional 9 per cent of the assessed value of the plantation property shall be first deducted and the remaining 91 per cent divided between the plantation and the independent growers, each receiving the same ratio of the surplus as his cane bore to the total produced. This attitude on the part of such a large corporation is taken as an indi cation of the trend of the sugar busi ness here. Heretofore the efforts of large corporations have been in a meas ure directed towards close internal business, but this sudden opening up of the family compact, as it were, is taken to mean that independent grow ers ai-e to be admitted to the charmed circle, and even given a helping hand towards making good on their land and cane.

A new carbureter which cuts down the gasoline consumption of any motor including the Ford, and reduces gaso line bills from one-third to one-half is the proud achievement of the Air Fric tion Carbureter Co., 204 Madison St.. Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable inven tion not only increases the power of all motors from 30 to 50 per cent, but en able everyone to run slow on high gear. With it 3'ou can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gaso line and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gasoline. Many Ford owners say they now get as high as 45 or 50 miles to a gallon of gasoline. So sure are the manufacture era of the immense saving their new carbureter will make that they offer to send it on 30 days' trial to every car owner. As it can be put on or taken off in a few minutes by anyone, all readers who want to try it should send their name, address and make of car to the manufacturers at once. They also want local agents to whom they offer exceptionally large profits. Write tnem today. Adv, Construction Work of Last Ten Years Represents Expenditure of Five Millions. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. The official opening of the navy drydock at Pearl harbor, near Honolulu, Hawaii, late this month will mark the successful completion of one of the most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken by the United States government. The immense dock represents a total in vestment of more, than 95,000,000 and nas Deen under construction for ten years. Secretary of the Navy Daniels will officiate at the christening- of the aocK about August 25. The dock is completed iust in time to add a much-needed facility for care of the Ehips of the Pacific fleet. The first vessel to enter the dock will nrob- ably be one of the dreadnoughts of Ad miral lloaman s rorce, possibly the New Mexico. The dock is 1001 feet in length, feet deep, 114 feet wide at the bot tom and 138 feet wide at the top. It will dock the largest shiD of war now anoat or contemplated. After the sections of the riork hart been finished and were beinff- anrhnrri in their places in 1913 the water was pumped out. whereupon the bottom of the dock was forced upward by press ure from the sides and the engineers and workmen were forced to stand helplessly by and watch the fruits of four years of labor and millions of dollars or money crushed in a shapeless mass oi aeDris. A new plan of construction on a much greater scale was then adopted. Con crete sections 60 feet long and the full wtatn or the dock were cast one at a time and lowered to the bottom of th drydock. securely anchoring it. Th.Ti the great structure was built. Early in March this year the dock was pumped oui lor me nrst time. The upward pressure of the bottom had been over come and the structure rose but three- sixteentns or an inch when perfectlv ary.
