I
This week will see the Oregon re
publican campaign developing head
way. Among the activities of the com
ing week will be the following:
Tuesday Elmer Dover, regional
campaign director of the republican
national committee with headquarters
in San Francisco will arrive for a
conference with officials at the re
publican state central committee and
other republican leaders.
Tuesday night at the library R. N.
Stanfield, republican candidate for
United States senator, will open his
campaign in Multnomah county by
speaking before the members of the
republican county central committee.
Mr. Stanfield will outline his views on
the national campaign issues. Repre
sentative C. N. McArthur will speak
on the importance of a republican vic
tory In November.
Ratification Belnsr Planned.
State Chairman Thomas H. Tongue
Jr., Secretary Hotchkiss and County
Chairman Day "will make final ar
rangements for the Harding-Coolidge
ratification meeting which has been
scheduled for September 10 at the au
ditorium, Portland. 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

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.

Nearly an hour later he awakened to

O'Reilly hung by the supports of
the skylight just above the stove in

in a panic from the place. O'Reilly
was assisted down by Chief of Police

When you buy highly-advertised, lowly-priced stock silk shirts, the first time
they are washed they look like a "rag" and after the second or third washing; they
are gone. The result is you have "separated" yourself from anywhere from $6.89 to
$9.86. . .
(Extract from recent issue of The Literary Digest.)
' 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? Where Is that $6.89 to $9.86?
