Seattle. Wash., Feb. 27. The plan
of Imniel B. Trefethen, chairman of
the Scuttle library board, to establish
branch libraries and free reading
rooms that will be made vacant when
- the saloons go out of existence, Janu
ary 1, 1916, has met with opposition.
The proposal has been called socialis
tic and lending itself to higher taxes
In Seattle. :
Dudley G. Wooten, a Seattle attor
ney, and formerly a member of con
gress from the stare of Texas, ha
tnis to say; about the scheme:
"It Is estimated that the loss
through saloon licenses will be at
least 1500,000 annually to the city
Now It Is suggested that on top of
this material reduction In the public
revenues and consequent increase of
the burden of taxation, the city shall
add an additional uncalculated item
of public expense in the way of free
libraries to reimburse the landlords
who will lose their rentals in th
Vacated property, as well as to con
sole the bar room habitues who are
deprived of their customary solace.
it may be conceded mat for a
.considerable number of persons the
bar. room is the substitute for the
rich man's club. But It may be
doubted that the condition Is a good
one, or that its victims are entitled
to free provision for their comfort and
entertainment."
Opposition developed at the annual
meeting In Seattle of the Washington.
State society. Sons of the American.
Revolution, to Governor Lister's sue
gestion that the legislature adopt a
state flag, and resolutions were for
warded to him In protest. The so
ciety took the position that the Stars
and Stripes constitute not only the
national . emblem, but that of the
states as well.
In his annual message to the legis
lature Governor Lister urged the adop
tion of a distinctive banner for the
commonwealth.
Byron. Phelps, auditor of King
countyj and himself a Civil war vet
.eran, introduced the . resolutions
against a state flag at the Sons of
the American Revolution meeting that
were unanimously adopted. The reso
lutions recited that as Washington
was named in honor Of the first presi
dent of the United States, there
'should be no flag adopted to be dis
played with the American flag.
"The sentiment of our people is for
one country and one flag
the dele-
gates agreed.
The story of the- exploits of Karl N.
Llewellyn, aged 22, a former Seattle
boy who' nojw lies desperately wounded
in a German hospital after fisrhtlntr
in the army of the kaiser, reads like
a tale 'of one of Richard Harding
Davis' Soldiers of Fortune. Llewellyn
Is well known here among the younger
set, as he was born In Seattle and re
ceived his early education in this
city.
Young Llewellyn's secret enlistment
In the German army caused interna
tional machinery to be moved to have
his commission cancelled, and al
though he was dismissed from service
by imperial edict on petition of Am
bassador Gerard, he found his way
back Into the ranks and was wounded
in the trenches In Belgium.;
After leaving Seattle, Llewellyn en
tered Tale university and became an
honor man. He won a $1000 scholar-

What Does Your
Mirror SaytoYou?
If Your Face Is Not Fair, You Are
. Not Fair to Your Face. Use
Stuart's Calcium Wafers and
Banish, Pimples, etc.
Before beauty can ever be realised
it must have. a complexion, that adds
to its lustre, that makes a magnificent
Tace contour radiate an artistic color.
The charm of all beauty rests chiefly
In tha rlftap felrtrt t i i TlitiAV roil Ylrtrt.i
the soft cream-like complexion.
It Is an Exquisite Joy to &ook in My
Hirror How Stuart's Calcium
Wafer Gave Me Back My
Clear Complexion."
Stuart's Calcium Wafers act directly
upon the sweat glands of the skin,
since their mission is to stimulate
the excretory ducts. They do not
create perspiration, but cause the skin
to breathe out rigorously, thus trans
forming perspiration Into a gaseous
vapor. The calcium Sulphide of- which
these wafers are composed consumes
the germ poisons in the sweat glands
and pores, hence the blood makes a
new, smooth skin in a surprisingly
snort time..
You will never be ashamed to look
at yourself in a mirror, once you use
Stuart's Calcium Wafers.' Nor wiU
your friends give you that hinting
look, as much as to say for goodness
Bake, get rid of those pimples.
There is no longer any; excuse for
anyone to have a face disfigured with
kin, eruptions, when it is so easy to
get rid of them. Simply! get a box
Of Stuart's Calcium Wafers at any
drug store and take them according
to directions. After a few days you
will hardly recognise yourself in the
mirror. The change will delight you
Immensely. All blemishes will dis
appear, ,'--. .- U

Mayor Gill and organized labor In
Seattle are at swords' points as a
result of an Interview given out by
the chief executive opposing the can
didacy for the council of T. H. Bolton,
president of the Seattle Central Labor
Council. Mayor Gill declared Bolton
was in sympathy with the I. W. W.

using sound business Judgment in
dealing with the affairs of the city.
Bolton was nominated at the prim
aries. He and five others will go
before the voters Tuesday and three
will be elected to fill vacancies for
the three-year term in the council.
Besides Bolton, the candidates are
Joslah Collins, Will H. Hanna, A. E.
Parish, A. F. Haas and H. E. Ken

the grossest insult to the organized
labor movement and to every Intelli

in the strongest terms the despicable
attack of the mayor."

lights played.
. LOng strips of freshly turned earth
were in vivid contrast to the yellow
stubble and looked like mourning
bands around a page of note paper.
The trees showed a faint tint Of green
where the buds were swelling, and
from every tree and bush the red
winged blackbirds were ' trilling their
spring song of life and love. Pan
was abroad in the land, and all nature
rejoiced. .
J-)ld L say all nature? Well, I will
have to make afe exception for the poor
horses, that had to pull up the grade
over a mile or so of unfinished road,
through mud hub deep in places, had
no time to rejoice. To get their load
to the top of the hill was the work
cut out for them. Personally I think
Mr. Hill saves about a mile of the
old-style bottomless mud road as a
sample of what was, as a contrast to
the Wonderful Maryhill road.
As we pulled out Of this "slough of
despond" onto the well kept bitullthio
roads of Maryhill, Governor Wast said,
as he pointed to the mud and the
pavement, ''Mr, Hill, that Is an Im
pressive contrast of what Is and what
can be, or rather what is and what
isn't-"
"Even the horses are glad," said
Mrs. West. "See how their heads go
up and see how cheerfully they prance
at getting on a good road."

WORD JSOOD WITH TOURISTS
Between orchards and meadows we
took our way to Mr. Hill's new house,
on the brow of the hill overlooking the
Columbia. Below us, looking like a
toy village, were the few "scattered
houses of the old town of Columbus,
now Maryhill. To the westward Mount
Hood, clothed In spotless white, was
outlined against the blue of the west
ern horizon. Boon we came in sight
of the new house a sturdy, massive
structure, built of steel and concrete.
This is the first house of this char
acter to be built on the banks of the
Columbia. Half a century hence the
Columbia will be lined with homes of
this character, just as are the Hudson
and the St. Lawrence today.
Mr. Hill's house will cost somewhere
between a quarter and a half million
dollars. We went all over it. One
gets an Idea of Its size when one
learns that the dining room will seat
250 people comfortably. Through the
center of the house is a driveway for
automobiles. ' Guests step out of their
machines into a reception room and
from there to the electric elevator, or
they can drive up an inclined plane to
a passage way through the Becond
story. Roomy kitchens, large bed
rooms with bathrooms and fireplaces,
a huge library, living rooms, dens and
numerous other rooms are to be found
throughout the house. The walls are
very thick.
"I expect this house to be here for
a thousand years after I am gone,"

Astoria, Or., Feb. 21. Mrs. Nicholas
Clinton, well known pioneer of Oregon,
died at the family home here early this
morning at the age of 73 years.
Mrs. Clinton was Sarah J. Ross,
daughter of Job Ross, and was born
in Illinois. She crossed the plains with
her parents in a prairie schooner in
1846. The start was made from Illinois
In 1845, with ox teams, but they were
driven back to the Missouri river by
the Indians,- and spenX the winter
there. Proceeding westward on their
Journey the following year they made
the rest of the trip in safety and
settled in Astoria, where Ross engaged
in the hotel business. In 1863 Satah
Ross married Nicholas Clinton, ship's
carpenter, who came to the coast by
way of the isthmus in 1859, and en
gaged in general contracting business
in Portland. Nicholas Clinton died in
1904.
Mrs. Clinton leaves three sons, one
daughter: J. C. Clinton, county clerk
of the county; J. R., accountant in his
brothers' office; Dewltt in Portland.

Significance of Good Boads.
"Some day the people will realize
mat they can have any kind pt a road
they are willing to pay for; and that
the price of bad roads is more than
they can afford to pay. When they
realise that they will find Farmer Hill
here on his farm ready to put his
shoulder to the wheel."
We had left for our morning drive
with the suggestion from Mr. Hill to
Sam, the cook, who has been with Mr.
Hill for 35 years, that he have some
sandwiches ready for a hasty lunch
when we returned. We were back from
our drive by noontime, with good ap
petites. Our sandwiches turned out
to be a home-grown golden' bronze
roasted turkey with trimmings, a huge
roast of beef, pineapple, combread,
honey, sweet potatoes, salad, carrots,
beets and various and sundry other
things. Sam is more than a cook; he
is a poet, a philosopher and an artist.
With him the preparation of food is a
science and a religion. Knowing Sam,
one does not wonder that the dining
room in the new farmhouse will, seat
250 guests.

. (Special to The Journal.)
Oregon City, Or., Feb. 27. Opposi
tion to the proposed gravity water sys
tem to bring pure mountain water from
the .snow-capped fastnesses of .the
Cascade mountains to Oregon City and
West Linn seems fast fading. Kvery
day brings more recruits to the rank a
of the Purs Mountain league.
The clergy of bregon City, to a man,
is in favor of a new source of drinking
water for ths city, and tomorrow from
many of the pulpits sermons-. upon the
question will be preached.
The greatest interest is being mani
fested in the public meeting which will
bte held Monday -evening at Shively's
Opera House. The occasion la of dou
ble interest. Judge Grant B. Dlmick
and George C. Brownell, for years po
litical opponents in Clackamas county,
are to speak in X3Vjr of the new sys
tem. That an eleventh hour, attack will be
made upon the bond issue to finance
this project by those 'opposed to a
change in the system has been ascer
tained by members of the league.
Preparations are now being made to
counteract any influence the unfavor
able circulars may have.
Everything- will be in readiness-for
the special election" Wednesday. Chief
of Police Shaw has ordered the differ
ent firehouses. used aa nollinir nlnn.a
to be cleaned and placed in order for
tne voters.
. The proposition of securing a supply
of water for Oregon City from the
South Fork of the Clackamas river was
taken up by the Pure Mountain Water
league in the fail of 1913, shortly after
Oregon City had passed through a se
vere typhoid epidemic. This epidemic,
during which the drinking fountains in
the schools and on the streets were
closed and the citizens ordered to boil
their water, brought home to the peo
ple of this city the necessity-of a
change from the filtered water to a
supply that would be more pure.
Surveys were made by Engineer H.
A. Rands and checked over by 1. C.
Henney, consulting engineer for the
United States government. The esti
mates as a result of these surveys and
the low price obtained on pipe and ma
terial has made it evident the water
can be brought to this city and entirely
paid for within 30 years by a rate to
consumers of not to exceed $1.6S per
month. - -
Information has been received that
Centralia, Wash., is pay In interest at
6 per cent on a bond issue of $300,000
and providing for a sinking fund to re
