I ana it w A i i rrSBm BREACH SEEMS CLOSING Opposition to Selection and Attack Before Secretary Lane Fail to Stop Nomination. An attempt "by the anti-Chamberlain forces to prevent the nomination of Judge Alexander Sweek as register of the land office at Portland met with no encouragement from President Wilson, nor from Secretary of the Interior Lane. The attitude of the president Is presaged by Senator Chamberlain's friends as indicative that the breach between the two is being bridged. Thus far Judge Sweek's progress has been made over the strenuous opposi tion of H. G. Starkweather, state chair man of the democratic committee, and Newton McCoy, who contends that he is the democratic national committee man for Oregon. It is expected that confirmation of Judge Sweek's appoint ment will be made in congress to morrow. Chamberlain's Foei Bur When the vacancy In the Portland land office was created by death of the incumbent. Judge Sweek s name was proposed for the position. As Judge Sweek was not unfriendly to the democrats who look after Chamber lain's welfare, the anti - Chamberlain democrats lost no time in laying their plans to prevent the Judge from being selected. In political circles the gossip has it that Colonel Robert A. Miller, for years president of the Jackson club, and a member of the executive committee of the state committee, was selected by .Chamberlain's opponents as the man for register. Subsequently it de veloped that there was opposition to the colonel, despite his life-long serv ice in the interest of the party. The next development was that the post master at Milwaukie was picked on as a compromise in lieu of Sweek or Miller. Lane Called n to Help. Furthermore, says gossip, the antl Chamberlain people undertook to do business direct with the secretary of the interior department. In addition to having a candidate for the positiota. the opposition filed charges against Judge Sweek calculated to discredit him and prevent his nomination. These charges are said to have been sent by Mr. Starkweather and Mr. McCoy. Infor mation regarding the protests were re ceived in Portland and Judge Sweek had no difficulty In receiving an In dorsement from the circuit and supreme Judges of Oregon as to his standing In the community ami before the bar. Then, like a bolt from the blue, the dispatches carried the news that the president, himself, had sent in the name of Judge Sweek for confirmation. President Puts One Over. For months the anti - Chamberlain democrats have taken the stand that they are the real democrats of the state, the administration's one best bet, and that anyone who associated with friends of Chamberlain was by that fact, an enemy of Woodrow Wilson. Then to see the president, himself, nominate for appointment the choice of Chamberlain was a surprise and. a painful shock. . By the same token, the Chamberlain supporters, who have recognized the coolness between, the senator and the president, feel that the two are getting closer together.

BUILDING BOOMS KLAMATH Business Houses and Paving Keep City on High Gear. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Aug, 9. (Special.) A new two-story brick building: at the corner of Fifth and Main, one of principal business corners. by the -firm of Collins & Still, is the latest business building announced, of the many that have been started here this season. C. Blannis has just started work on a new two-story brick on his business property on Main street, be tween Tenth and Eleventh streets. There are now seven substantial bus! tiess buildings in process of construe tion in the business center of the city and contractors are working franti cally to complete 25 or more residences to provide accommodations for the many new arrivals that are constantly corn Ins to the city. This activity, coupled with the pav ing of several miles of city streets and the busy preparations for the Elks' state convention to be staged during the mid part of the month, presents a spectacle not produced heretofore, even in the good old boom days ' of 110- r ' - m ' -V I jr. i :-- in- "'X; ? .. , x - - , x u u m 4 ?Tc3r6,',-L VeVrt HIS right arm and his. right leg were gone, but he dreamed -of being a cowboy. ' The summit of the Cascades loomed up, all powdered like a cavalier's wig, and he longed to be a mountain climber. Ducks darted across the lakes grouse rose with a whir and a hunter's desire filled him. . He heard the stimulating click he saw neat sentences speed back from under the ribbon carrier like ties from under train in which one rode, and he wanted to operate a typewriter. He had only his left arm and his left leg, but because he was determined to take from these sinister ' ' members their feebleness, . he - became a cowboy, a mountain climber, a hunter and a typist. As a little boy. Martin De Vries lost his right arm above the elbow and his right leg below the knee in a railroad accident. With these handicaps he has had to battle his way through life. Eight - months after the amputation of his limbs, he was given a trial in the use of his first artificial leg. "It was very awkward and ; hard to accustom myself to the new artifice," he says. But he learned to use it . quickly-as is Indicated by the following incident, as told by a neighbor of the family at that time. "A herd of cattle approached the bridgehead where Martin was play ing, we were amused In - seeing him striking for home, leading his play mates in the footrace which ensued. That lad surely could run and how he did It is a mystery." Lmk Walks Takes la Youth. At the age of 11 he was regularly walking three miles to school, some times through three or four feet of snow. At home he had his chores to do the same as his brothers. . His duties Included hauling In coal, wood, kindling and being general factotum around the house. Later on he wanted to learn to milk cows and though the realisation of his humble ambition required no small amount of perseverance, -he kept on until he was considered one of the chief milkers on the D. H. dairy farm. "All the little duties called for on the ranch were given to me as quickly as they would be given to . anyone." He harnessed and hitched up a team, drove the stacker horse, carried water to the laborers In the field, rode horseback and herded cattle. "When I was very young," he re- lates, "I of 10 cherished the. thought of being a cowboy. This desire was greatly Increased by the sight, of the cowboys around our ranch house. But to be a cowboy meant 'more hills to climb and strength to climb them.' The discouraging attitude of my acquaint ances was one of the greatest' ob stacles. However. I was game and one day the opportunity long looked for came. I was to experience a bit of the old west the real- west. My father told me I could go to the hills with my brother and help the cattlemen in the fall round-up. - I learned a lesson which I treasure greatly In tbat fall round-up. Pleasure Foaad With Gna or Rod.' rT learned to use "a rifle when very young and could always shoot accurate ly," he continues. . "Seldom a . time passed during the hunting season when my quota of game . remained' unfilled I ' have also found much - pleasure . in fishing. The thought that tramping along the .'river banks, through the meadows or over the hills would be tiresome has only spurred me dn to- do these things successfully.' It has been the means of creating In me an energy which has enabled me- to learn difficult and tiresome things. It has developed a great lov'e for nature and her posses sions. "With a kodak strapped around my shoulder I have ' wandered aimlessly over hills, up ravines and climbed mountains. ' Yea, with my ' one leg 1 think I can qualify as a mountain climber.. Playing ball has been another sport easily mastered. While working for the Red Cross at Vancouver Bar racks it has been a surprise to soldiers standing around to watch me catch and pitch with a finger mit just as easily as the person throwing on the further side of the field. ' Chaaee Takea In Automobile. ' This is the way he learned to drive an automobile. He was with a party up- In a mountain canyon. While the men were out of the car one of the girls asked teasingly, "Martin, can you drive this car?" He had never driven a car in his life, but he replied: "Cer tainly," and shifted Into the driver's seat with no Intention to even start the car, but sowehow he put his foot on the self-sttirter. He did not know how to stop the machine. The roads were nar row and the embankments steep and dangerous. He realized that in his driv ing lay the fate of the girls now seated almost motionless in the rear seat. He kept cool and managed to keep the car In the road until, by Inspiration or ac cident, he stepped upon the brake pedal with a heavy tread. He had learned to drive a car. In his senior year at high school he learned to operate a typewriter. He pecked away at the machine in the dark getting the touch system. He now finds It easy to write 50 words a min ute and is able to take shorthand. Through this accomplishment he was able to work his way through the Mon tana state college. To his parents. who offered to finance his education, he said. "If at the age of 21 a young man must look to his parents for as sistance, financial or otherwise, or If he cannot blaze his own way through life or through college, that man is acklng in reserve energy and pluck." Martin De Vries, this boy with one arm and one leg gone, during the war was assistant field director at Van couver barracks and Camp Lewis for the American Red Cross. On July 15 he. resigned to take a special course In Stanford university. Hood River Has Controversy Over Beauty of Waters. Vacationists Find Lost find Badger Lakes Alluring Spots. HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) The Hood River valley is In a fair way to duplicate in Ies-3 sanguinary fashion the "War of the Roses." Here, however, the bloodless feud will be known as "The War of the Lakes." Disputes are already in progress over tl.j features of beauty of Lost lake, situated on the west base of Mount Hod,, and Badger lake, lying in a re mote and inaccessible fold of the na tional forest on' the east side of the snow peak. Which has the best fish ing pools, which is the clearest, which affords a most appealing view of Mount Hood? All of these points are being threshed over by vacationists. Lost lake is fast being made acces sible by the construction of a highway from county roads through the national forest In the southwestern part of the county. Badger lake is destined prob ably .to remain, more inaccessible to Hood River' people, although it will be brought ' into more prominence when the loop highway is built around the east base of Mount Hood. The latest boosters for Badger lake scenery, and for the eagerness of its trout to take the fly have Just re turned from a vacation- spent on its shores. The men were: Sheriff Thomas F. Johnson, County -Assessor Jasper Wick ham. Deputy Assessor William Kdlck and W. B. North. The ' men declared Lookout moun tain a wonderful place for scenic out look. . From its - elevation, where a ranger's observation house has - been erected, they were able to see the green and golden fields of Wasco county. The ranger's trail up to the lookout house winds its way up the peak by innumer able zig-sags cut In the precipitous sides. ' i tar .n y.',',r "e rT Tii- in.-i- j m i WOMEN! A Pre-Season Sale!

Choruses of Several Hundred Men to Aid In Interpretation of Port land's Growth. Rehearsals for the "Pageant of Port land" to be given August 21 In Laurel hurst park by the city park board In conjunction with the War Camp Com munity Service are being held regularly each day. During the next ten days the 3000 persons who will participate In the pageant will review their parts in cos tume and in the actual pageant setting in Iaurelhurst park. Names of persons who take roles in the pageant are being announced daily. The last to be made public is the name of Mrs. Ralph Wilbur, who will inter pret Peace. The pageant is in allegori cal spirit and relates the history of Oregon since the time the virgin forest dominated until the present return of heroes from the world war. ' It will be staged as a mark of appreciation for the service Oregon men gave to Port land and .the world in the European struggle. In the role of Peace. Mrs. Wilbur will have one of the most im portant parts which comes as a climax to the various phases of history which the pageant .will relate. Muslo will be one of the striking characteristics of the production. Sev eral hundred men will be Included in the various choruses which aid in inter pretation of Portland's growth. Among these will be a soldiers' chorus, already organized and with a membership of nearly 100. men. - all of whom served with the United States army during the recent war. A fishermen's chorus will be organized early this week by J. O. Hollingsworth of the Arleta music stu dio and ' director of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Glee club. The glee club will form the nucleus of this Kidney Remedy for: 40 Years A Pronounced Success When kidney diseases have been suc cessfully treated for a period of more than forty years. it Is reasonable to as sume that the remedy therefore must possess unusual merit. Such is the re markable record of Warner's Safe Kid ney and Liver Remedy. Without Its ability to give relief and .benefit its users so that they would continue its use it could not have existed 40 months, much less 40 years of Its enviable rec ord. Many letters have come to us to prove that It has been a household rem edy for years and years.

For the elimination of poisons due to Impaired kidney, action, Warner's Safe Remedy was famous for 25 years be fore this woman so Judiciously began its effective use. There are thousands of people who realize that their general health depends upon their kidneys and have found Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy a reliable family medi cine. Forty 3'ears ago it was named "Safe" because it is SAFE absolutely; equalising the work of both the kid' neys and liver.

Portland boy scouts have as their special part in the pageant the produc tion of an Indian camp scene. The scouts have already begun their re hearsals and will have their parts learned by the time Major Lee Moore house of Pendleton arrives In Portland with real Indian equipment to be used in putting the finishing realistic touches on the camp scene. The city park board has more than 350 children in training for the special interpretative dances. Kach dance in which the children appear is original, having been created by members of the city park board staff for the spe cial phase of Portland history which it will represent. In portraying the varl ous influences which have had - their parts in Portland's development an Americanization touch will be given by dances set to music Persons of all nationalities living in Portland will be represented. The problem of seating the huge audience which is expected is now fac ing the city park board and the War Camp Community Service. The loca tion in Laurelhurst park which has been chosen for the pageant is in a natural amphitheater. The incline of the ground- on all sides of the natural stage will give all an excellent oppor tunity to witness the pageant and the ground formation is such that accous tics will be excellent even for those seated at some distance.
