outlook that vacation la likely to re
sult in a giant vaudeville merger of
some sort, the exfftt nature of which is
not definitely known at this time. It
may mean, however, a combination of
the Loew, Sullivan Considlne, Jones,
Unnlck &-Schaefer circuits, making a
string or over 1B0 popular priced
vaudeville houses in tha United States.
' For soma time past Loew and 8. & C.
circuits have booked the aame acts,
but the present plan would call for; a
central booking office In New Tork
and would not only give long and ad
vantageous contracts to acts, but would
also result In a "round-the-world" cir
cuit and the securing of much new
and 'valuable talent. Mr. Loew says
motion picturea are not making the in

are in the west for the . reason that

at In the west, but nothing that
strikes them more forcibly than the
beautiful theatres which they declare
are superior to those in New Tork and
way ahead of anything outside tof

They will leave this afternoon for

It's a poor rule that hangs fire when
its maker tries to apply It.
"Crop prospects In Umatilla county
were never better," said Leon Cohen
ofs Pendleton today. "We have had
ari extremely open , winter and " every
thing is looking fine."
According to Mr. Cohen, Umatilla
county Is vary much interested in tha
subject of good roads and a great deal
of improvement in that direction is
going on. A good macadam road ia
being built by the county to the Wash
ington boundary to connect with the
Walla Walla road. Other sections are
also being built up. "That was -a
good suggestion by The Journal the
other day that the people of Hermiston
build a hard surfaced road to Uma

More than 200 Shriners and their

the trip was a wonderful success.

"The trip was fine," said Mr. Os

"There was no sickness and no acci

a royal welcome awaiting us.
"Throughout the Journey all tho
Shriners wore their fes bead coverings

"In Manila we found business condi

side there told us that the change of
administration was the cause of busi
ness depression, because . the Wilson
administration is handling things dif
ferently than obtained under Taft .
"In fact Wilson's policy Ir generally
disliked for the reason that the Amer

put the government In the hands of
the Filipinos, meana that matters af
fecting the Islands will be handled
by a people incapable for self govern

Her Platform,
The city council today passed a reso
lution authorizing Commissioner Ttr.w.
ster to begin legal proceedings towards
the condemnation of a tract of land,
including Multnomah Falls, to be used
as a municipal park.
The tract in question embraces about
110 acres with a frontage on the river
of three quarters of a mile where boat
landings may be made. A great por
tion of the land is overflowed and
rocky bluffs, and it has no value out
side its scenic beauty.
It is owned by Miss Jennla V nn.
rwold of Washington. D. C. who Is will
ing io sen nut her title Is clouded by
reason of a suit brought by George
Wetherby to compel the execution of
an option which he claims to hold. It
is proposed to condemn the property
and place the amount of award in the
uourt to be contested for by Wetherby
and Miss Griswold.
In the event a condemnation Jury
should fix the value of the property at
less than $8000, It is understood that S.
Benson will donate to the city th nec
essary funds to aoquire the property.
The condemnation nroceadinn win
be brought under a stat statute giving
authority to condemn real property
outside a municipality for municipal
uses.
To Dr. Cora C. Talbott, phyalcian of
Portland, belongs the. distinction of

In her platform Dr. Talbott declare

The text of the platform follows:
"I favor such legislation as will ad
