All of the mem bers of the republican state central committee, the republican county chairmen and county committees, re publican editors of the state, officers and members of every republican club in the state will be asked to co-operate actively in making the event a success. Chairman Tongue has tele graphed United States Senator Harry S. New, chairman of the republican national speakers' bureau, asking that a speaker of national prominence be sent to Portland for the occasion, which will be the formal opening of the state speaking campaign in Ore gon. Plans will also be -perfected this week for the organization of several bureaus In connection with the state campaign, the bureau of clubs and the speakers' bureau. The republican national committee has asked that each state organiza tion institute a bureau of clubs -vhich will not only organize clubs through out the state but also co-ordinate their activities. Cluba Being: Organised. The organization of republican clubs is already under way. The Harding-Coolidge Republican club of Multnomah county, the Stanfield-for-Senator club, the Harding-Stanfield Republican club of tft. Helens, the Hardine-Stanfield club at Rainier are recently organized republican clubs which have reported to and are working In co-operation with- the state central committee. Walter Tooze Sr., state committee man, of Marion county reports that a Harding-Coolidge-Stanfield club will be organized at Salem. George Neu- ner, state committeeman, of Roseburg has plans under way for a club in Douglas county. The Malheur repub licans are planning to organize sev eral clubs. Within a short time it is expected that more than 100 clubs will be organized in the state. All But Three Counties Complete. Secretary Hotchkiss reports that all but three of the counties of the state have reported their county organiza tions complete. Twenty-three of the counties have committeemen appoint ed and at work in every precinct. The organization work is further along than usual at this time of year, la the opinion of Mr. Hotchkiss. Clubwoman Will Help. Mrs. Taylor Marshall, Illinois club woman and leader in republican poll tics in that state, tendered her serv ices to the state central committee yesterday. She will be In Oregon until after Christmas and pledged herself to speak at any time or place desired by the republican managers la the interests of the party. Republicans' Now United. James J. Donegan of Burns, secre tary of the republican county centra committee for Harney county, was Portland visitor yesterday: He said that the split in the republican party which had interfered with two pre vious national campaigns has disa-p peared and that united republicans were backing Harding and Coolidge to the limit. BY ADDISQN BENNETT. F all has gone well sine Friday last there will be an unusual hap pening in the Philomath - neigh borhood of Benton county, for one of the old settlers of that vicirejty today will reach the one hundredth anni versary of his birth, and the event will be celebrated at his home, four miles southwest of Philomath,' by a gathering of friends and -descendants, principally the latter. ' . On August 22, 1820, there- was born in Bavaria, one of the provinces of Germany at least it was for many years until the kaiser scrambled the map, and I guess it still belongs to that unfortunate country a man child, later christened Kreiens Kriens, usually now set down on the tax rolls and such as K. Kranz, or Kerns. His father followed the sea, but young Kriens grew up in tne open and received a partial education in the nearby schools. He worked on a farm when old enough- to shift for himself, and was married when he was 28 years old. Two children were born there previous to 1855, a daugh ter, Almiena, and a son, Herman, and in that year he and his liKle family came to the United States. Illinois Homestead Taken. t They went to the vicinity of Free port, ill., and selected a half-section of land and the young German walked to Iowa City and back to file on It. agreeing to pay $1.25 an acre for the 320 acres. On that farm nine more children were born and the family resided there until 1880, when a re moval was made to Bar.ton county. Kansas, where they purchased a farm near the county seat. Great Bend. They remained there until 1887, when they came to Oregon and purchased the farm where they have resided ver since. The old gentleman and his oldest son, Herman, have, I think, been the principal occupants for a number of years, for Mrs. Kriens died the year following migration rom Kansas. Just now the oldest daughter is also a member of the household. That recapitulation of the move ments of the Kriens family reads ike the dry details of many another amily, save that the number of chil dren born to the couple was beyond the average. But look now at the urther details. First, remember that the oldest child is nrow "0 years old and the youngest 42. Ten of them are alive. These 10 have 32 children liv- ng. Some of these are married and them have been born 18 cmidren. and one of these last has been mar ried and to that couple have been born two children, so that two great- great grand-children. 18 great grand children, 32 grand-children and 10 children of Kreiene Kriens and his wife are now living, making a total of (2 descendents. Few Deaths In Family. T did not. I am sorry to say, get the exact data as to the number of deaths that have occurred in the Kriens families, but I think it is only four, and two of these were not of the Immediate family but married into it. And remember that when those who have thus married into the family are counted the number goes up to 74. The farm upon which the old gen tleman has lived and labored for the last 33 years is not upon the beaten road. You have to pass through three -Six, US' . 1 ft X ' ' - fab. Kreiene Kriens, Oregon man 1UO Fears old today. r. .t ' gates to reach it. I went out in quest of an interview with Dennis Stovall. probably Oregon's most successful author, and Dennis lives within four miles of the Kriens place, but it was only by a sort of intuitive accident that we finally turned In at the proper gate. However, the farm is apparently well kept and prosperous, although it is what one would call a hill farm. The buildings are nothing to boast about, but not greatly below the average. The crop, mostly wheat, was in shock and showed up' well, and what little livestock we saw was in good condition. We learned from the daughter that up to less than two years ago her father did the lion's share of the work on the place. Patriarch Tired Oat. But now the old gentleman is rather poorly; not sick, not complaining, just tired .out. The wonderful machinery that has run almost a hundred years Is showing signs of wear, but not so much physically as mentally. I got him to go out on the lawn to try and get a picture of him and when he found what was wanted he trotted along as nimbly aa-any of us. But he is quite deaf and his memory is shattered. It will more than likely be but a short time until he- goes to his final, sleep. Today it is expected that far more than a majority of tha 74 members of the family will be present at the old gentleman s home. Only a few of them live far away, one or two in Kansas, one hi "Washington, but nearly all in Oregon, mostly, within easy reach of Philomath. What a celebration! In some re spects there never was anything like it in Oregon. The nearest, I think, was on the 100th birthday of Captain Blakely. He, of course, was almost a native Oregonian and had cut a blK figure in Oregon history, and his de cendants are all well-known people; but when it comes to the number of descendants it is not likely that the case of Mr. Kriens has ever been equaled in Oregon or in the northwest, nor is It likely that it ever will be.

THE DALLES, Or.. Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) Terrence O'Reilly went to sleep in a lodging house last night with a lighted cigarette in his mouth. Nearly an hour later he awakened to find his bed on fire, and dived head first from the window and through the skylight of a restaurant kitchen beneatu him. O'Reilly hung by the supports of the skylight just above the stove in the kitchen, luslily yelling "Fire!" The Chinese cooks, startled by the appearance of an apparition in pa ' Jamas hanging above their range, flea in a panic from the place. O'Reilly was assisted down by Chief of Police Heater, who locked him up for the remainder of the night, but released AWARDS GIVEN MARINES French. Fourrageres Now Being Distributed Among Veterans.

' Silk' That Is Something Else "As raw material there were 16 ounces to the pound, but after washing this was reduced to 12 ounces. In order to avoid confusion by the higher mathematics of the silk industry, let us keep in mind this pound of raw silk that weighed, first 16 ounces and then 12 ounces. The 12-ounce pound was passed through a bath of stannic chlorid and afterward through another bath of sodium phosphate. These baths were repeated a number of times, after which the sjlk received a bath of aluminum sulfate to swell the fiber. Then back to the tin and phosphate for more 'loading,' then a treatment of silicate of sodium. Then dyed, which added more weight. The final treatment was with oil to give it luster. The result was 93 ounces of beautiful 'SILK' of which 12 ounces WERE and 84 ounces WERE NOT." Can you beat it?
