It Is pointed out. Is by no means a reflection on these entertaining people, but Just a case of where the public needs a rest, and when It gets It it will renew its Interest and patronage. This morning's classes were well at tended, everybody on the ground being engaged in study at one or the other divisions. Hew Classes Spring up. Several classes not scheduled have sprung up, sdu ere very popular, me most so perhaps being the lectures on psychology by Mrs. Alice Weister at Science hall, which are attracting marked attention. The hall la crowded to the door every day. Several experi ments were tried with success today, The subject of the next lecture will be Man Limitless," which means how to have a strong body and powerful men tality. rina W. O. T. TJ. Program.

They are not faddists, nor do they U-al In the occuft sciences, they are practicing physicians who study and lecture on the care of j the body, In rational ways rather than the cure of It by' drugs.

SERVICE TO BE ENLARGED (Continued from Page One.) will Republicans of Massachusetts name their candidate lor . aovernnr nn the Portland field, the steamers from tho orient will first come to Pua-et sound to discharge inward cargo. Thence they will go to Portland to discharge freight for that port. 9 At Portland and elsewhere on the river as occasion demands, the liners will take on their first consignment of outward freight, completing outward at Puggt sound ports. Each vessel will hav" about 26 days In which to dis charge and load outward again. Asked as to the disposition of the Portland Asiatic's chartered steamers, Mr. Water house said: 'We Intend to use the steamers of the Portland-Aslatio fleet. We plan to transfer two of them, probably the Ilenrlk Ibsen and Strathlyon, to the Australian Mall line Immediately. It Is not yet decided what will be done with the Hercules and Rygja, as their places will be taken by larger and better vessels In the oriental trade. ' However. it Is likely that they will each make another round trip to the orient until other tonnage is available." Asked why the Portland-Aslatio sold out Mr. Waterhouse said: A Merger for Economy. "The reasons for this change are entirely In the Interests of economy and better service. In the past the two rival companies have Interfered with on another, not only as to sailing dates, but In other ways. Consequently It was ' determined ' that the two lines oould be better managed by either one or the other. ' As we were considered the better fitted to taks over our rivals, such an agreement was made, and we purohased the Portland-Asiatic." The steamers of the Portland-Aslatio were chartered for uiree years, and these charters have about a year yet to run. Mr. Waterhouse . will keep these vessels- until their charters sxpire, us ing them to his best advantage In what ever trade he requires ' them. As the necessity arises he will secure what ever additional tonnage Is desired, ft Is understood that tho Waterhouse line is under no obligations to the Pacific Mall and Harrlman Interests by reason of this deal, and the merger will not affect relations at present existing be tween the Waterhouse company and the Harrlman lines here. Australia Mall Use Grows. Mr. Waterhouse, who established the Australia Mall line several years ago. reports that this business Is growing so rapidly that an additional steamer will be dlspatohed In August, October and December each, and It is expected to send 18 steamers during the next 12 months Instead of one vessel a month as In the past While Mr. Waterhouse did not state that this line would call at Portland,- It - is known that he has secured large contracts for freighting lumber from the Columbia river to Australia, and for this reason It will be necessary for the Australian liners to go to Portland. stely following the Elks. Next will bs York's band. Following 'the band the automobile section will form on Stark street, resting on Seventh and facing east E. J.

The procession .will move south on Seventh to Yamhill, east on Yamhill to Fourth, north on fourth to Oak. west on Fourth to Fifth,, south on Fifth to Morrison, west on Morrison to Sixth, north on Sixth to Stark, west on Stark to Seventh, and disband.

Visitors will come from The Dalles, Salem, Astoria and other nearby cities. Arrangements for the big parade and Jollification are complete. At 7:30 this evening there will be a general as semblage at Elks' Temple, Seventh and Stark streets.

Harvesting Under Way.1 Harvesting has been started In most section In a limited way, although op erations .will not become general In the flat section for at least another week. In the foothill country the fall sowing is quite green, although a few fields are almost ready for the annual visit of the combine. There are many more combines In the county than ever before. Quite a number of machines will go into the fields for tho first time this season. The number would undoubtedly be greater were the har vesting machinery plants In a position to Insure .early delivery. Like the wheat crop, the showing of barley Is most excellent in the Walla Walla section. The average showing Indicates a harvest of 40 bushels, al though the barley crop is much later than usual. The quality of barley Is unusually good and for that reason the crop Is considered the best that the county has ever presented. Oats Wot Important Crop. The showing of oats Is smaller than usual. This Is due entirely to the de creased acreage because the crop per acre Is a record breaker. In the foot hill section the production of oats has almost been brought to a standstill within recent years owing to the tend ency of the grain to "foul" the soil with wild oats, and therefore make It ex ceedingly difficult to clear the ground for wheat Alfalfa is making the same heavy showing in this section as has been noted in all portions of Oregon. Some fears are being expressed by producers owlgte to the shortage of grain sacks. On account of the de pleted offerings, the price has steadily advanced recently. There Is a surplus of harvest hands all through the Walla Walla valley, but grain growers are showing no inclina tion te depress wages on this account. y;. Sir Problem Zs Ptios, : t; . ' There remains a wide difference of opinion regarding the probable price on the opening wheat market Many are inclined to believe that the opening figure will b from TO to t5o ; per bushel, hut this is merely a guess. Hill mustard, the weed that threat ened for a time to ruin tho wheat crop ' of this section, will be no 'mare If the present tactics of Walla Walla growers and officials ars continued for a whlln. There are very few fields where ther Is even a showing of the dreaded plant v and so far as can be ascertained not a single field -has been abandoned owing to tho ravages of the weed, while there were Immense fields of mustard all through the Walla Walla section last season and large acreas were so thickly covered with the Hill variety, that the' combines were not set to work at all. . i A Latest Double Faced Record Free To every owner of si Talking Machine (Victor or Colum bia) who calls at the new Eilers Music House at Sev enth and Alder.
