Benson day, August 17, is being moulded into one of the really big days of the calendar. It is being- heralded by ell avenues of publicity, and hun dreds of inquiries are brought to the Information desk. It is through those that Mr, Benson's fame wss discovered. "Is- this Mr. Benson the same who presented those water fountains to the city of Portland?" " "Is Mr. Benson the man who wants td1 help the youth of Portland with a big trades school?"

Benson day follows but a few days fter Oregon week, which Is now gath sring weight like a snowball on a hill of soggy snow. This Is from August 9 to -15. Kach day will be devoted to a par ticular section of the state, with the special exploitation of some staple product of that section.

Thursday will be Tillamook county day. Tillamook will again take up the Idea of getting at the heart of the public through the stomach and will serve cheese and cheese sandwiches. The Willamette valley will again take active part on August 14 with the distribution of peaches if enough of the first class fruit can be secured at ' that particular time.

The biggest of state social functions took place last week when the Missouri commis sion staged a colonial ball in the colonial mansion which represents that state. Several representatives of the Oregon commission had prominent parts in the exhibition minuet which was danced as an added feature to the eve ning. The women dancers were all in the costume of the days of yore and the setting of the party with the quaint dresses of the women made it one of the most novel and best arranged fea tures of the season.

If so, you will be glad to know that there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored through the principle Of this wonderful free prescription. One man says, after try ing it: "I was almost blind; could not see rto read at all. Now I can read everything without any glasses " and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It wss -ikft a miracle to me." A lady who u&ed It says; "The atmosphere seemed hasy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. I can even read fine print without glasses." It Is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glsssss. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rule. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Optona, Fill a two ounce bottle with warm .water, drop In one Optona tablet and allow to dissolve, with this liquid, bathe the eyes two to four times dally. You should notice your eyes olear up perceptibly right from the start and Inflammation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even a little. tak steps to save them now before It is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved If they had cared for their eyes la; time. - ta.dv.) Opening of Road Around South Side of Mt, Hood One of Main Features. BULL RUN WATERSHED Boundless see si o Offerings of Price less Value to People; Recrea tion idea trppermost. By E. T. Mische. The setting aside1 of 14,000 acres of land along the Columbia river for park purposes will , be an excellent deed. Forester Graves. In control of the national forest land affected, is re ported as favoring the proposal and after a brief passage of time neces sary for the essential routine of of ficial enactment the tract will be available. Effort to Initiate similar action to that now contemplated was made of ficially In the city last year but re sulted in a fiasco. The Chamber of Commerce's efforts seem destined to accomplish something. Kecreatton Idea Uppermost. The intent Is to dedicate such por tion of the Oregon national forest contiguous to the Columbia highway as is Immediately affected, as a park reservation meaning thereby that the recreational phase shall hence forth be considered paramount In its administration. The rugged declivities clothed with forest and the lack of convenient fa cilities would cause timbering . to be followed at a comparatively high cost. Development for lumbering has been long postponed and would probably be far distant on account of the quan tity and quality of the timber exist ing, wholly apart from any considera tion of Its being more valuable for another purpose. Transferring the ,tract from forest to park purposes is' in keeping with the federal government's policy of utilizing forest lands for the purposes to which they lend themselves. Its immediate effect will be to pre clude its being homesteaded by indi viduals. It not being logged off, and giving assurance that it will be treat ed sympathetically with the park rather than the lumbering interest. City's Interest Defined. Beginning at a point about a mile beyond Dodson and extending for a distance qf approximately nine (9) miles to Hermann creek the city's interest would be suitably defined. Th portion of about ten miles beyond to about Viento where the forest re serve ends Is not a Portland program so much as one of the federal gov ernment. It Is useful mainly for through traffic along the Columbia river but until the city does its share It has a temporary use of serving the local community in making the circuit via Hood River and either Elk Creek gap or the route around the south side of Mount Hood. Either of" these circuits would re quire a travel of about 250 miles and would desirably have two days allot ted to it. Portland's principal interest is a shorter circuit branching off of the Columbia highway at Hermann's creek. ' That region embraced from the river on the north to the crest line of the Columbia water shed or the north edge of the plateau on the south and extending from Latourelle falls to Her mann creek is the principal interest of the City; branches of the connec tions With any development routes within that region should anticipate the route to and around Mt. Hood. Herein lies the real interest of the city in any route that the government projects through the Elk creek pass or around the south side of Mt. Hood. As yet the only acquirement of pri vate ownership is that embodied in the tract Mr. Benson recently pre sented to the city known as Benson park. Must Be Safeguarded.

Circus day, when the boys, big and small, look askance at all kinds of work the day when the boss slams down the top of his desk and says "Won't be back today have an Im portant engagement." Al G. Barnes' big three ring wild animal circus , Is scheduled to ex hibit in Portland for two days, Mon day, August 16, and Tuesday, Aug ust 17. The show's entire entertainment Is given with highly educated, wild and domestic animals. A troupe of animal actors that this year numbers over 600 members. Instead of human acrobats. Jug glers, tumblers, contoVtlonists and riders giving the performance, trained animals of almost every description are used as the show's performers. Elephants, camels, hyenas, zebras, sea lions, kangaroos, lions, tigers, bears, monkeys and every species of domes tic animal appear as actors on the Barnes program. rights along the river flats are pub licly owned will the city's interest be suitably safeguarded. In many respects the entering wedge has occurred when the initial trans fer Is made. It is analagous to the government acts of creating national monuments. Fulfillment of the park program In that region can only be accomplished by Joint city and federal action. Whether the acquirement is best made at a single stroke or over a period" of years; whether by taking title or merely an easement of the lands; whether the enactment of laws will tend to render needless the Im perativeness of ownership are all phases it Is not necessary now to discuss in touching; upon the sort and adequacy of control the city should exercise in the province. This park program aligns us with a class including New York and Den ver, Ball Ron Reserve. A principal Interest in this com munication is to call attention to the bearing any park " scheme will have upon the Bull Run reserve. No attempt Is made to weigh the merits of the opposing contentions about the . protection of the water shed protecting Portland's water sup ply. It is warranted that a careful, adequate and competent Investigation be made of tbe entire problem and the community informed of the Issue In volved. The Bull Run reserve Includes land miles beyond the water shed of Bull Run lake. All of It is covered with live forest. With the increasing use of Mt. Hood, the development of roads and incsgase of population, the mountains and for ests are annually being resorted to by more people. The danger to the Bull Run reserve is sanitary and fire risks.

Portland,' Oregon; Acts and features of a new and novel character presented for the first time this season are promised. The very great act of the show Is one in which 24 full grown African lions are performed, 30 huge bears, a quartet of horse riding lions, a dozen horse riding. Juggling sea lions, balloon rid ing lions and performing Bengal tigers, will perform. Among the domestic animal actors, there are i00 military ponies and Tiny the - world's smallest performing horse who rides upon the back of a huge elephant; the 16 world cham pion dancing horses, that do the tango and all other popular dance steps; the happiest dog in all the world, and his 60 companions;- the racing ostriches, the six educated zebras and laughing hyenas and the troupe of clown pigs, sliding bears, etc. There are 50 clown animals led by Danger, Dynamite, Gasoline, Gun powder and Cactus. A big parade will be fceld. because they are easily controlled. Fire presents the main danger. With a well organized corps of for est rangers, a system of telephones and signals and fire" fighting appa ratus, a fire can ain little headway before it Is extinguished. Trails and roads well maintained supplement the other equipment In fire fighting, hence, a road is a safe guard rather than a danger. Dangers of fire In green timber are exceed ingly small. But there is danger of fire starting in an adjorning old "burn" and spreading to live tim ber. There is such an area, lying northeast of the Bull Run reserve which has beep and Is. a menace and will continue to be until it Is re forested, a task the forest service is about to undertake. Until it is re forested the danger to Bull Run re serve is greater without the proposed road than with it. After reforestation, possible fire dangers are under .much better con trol with the road than without it. If so, there is reason why a road should exist. Problem Hot Difficult. - It is so much easier to present op position because possible danger may be "introduced than It is to solve the problem of the danger Itself. At best this is but a temporizing, an insecure position to attempt to defend. The fire guarding problem In Bull Run reserve is neither unusual nor difficult and could be better done with roads than without. It may be well to await the real reforestation of the old burn before mentioned before the road is constructed. Wholly apart from any parallel or secondary . benefits resulting from roadways, the construction of a road way througrh the forest Is a wise move In itself for general administrative purposes, especially as It tends to safeguard against fire.

New Machine May Revolu tionize Harvesting of Crops on the Small Farm, k A new combined mower and thresher, which promises to revplutlontze the harvesting of j grain crops on I small farms, has been Invented by Cornelius Quesnell and was seen li operation last Wednesday by a committee of Portland business men and representa tives of the Chamber of Commerce. The machine was manufactured at the Multnomah Iron works. Its first test was a practical field test on the Kaiser ranch Wednesday, at Groveland, Oregon, With one man and six horses it Is said to cut and thresh grain at a cost ranging from 75 cents to $1 an acre,, which Is several times less than the usual expense for harvesting. . ; The machine is supposed to cut a hit thresh 14 acres a day. The feature which is expected to appeal to the small farmer in particular Is that the machine is operated by one man, and at- a greatly reduced cost. It Is said also to be designed to catch the prats which is too short to bind or which has been beaten down by wind or rain. It is said to be cheaper to run three of these machines than one of the big combined threshers. i Those who saw the machine in oper ation Wednesday Included Dr. C. J. Smith, who owns wheat land In Uma tilla county; Phil Bates, editor of the Pacific Northwest; A. B. Flint, farmer, of Beaver ton; H. O. Tenney, a manu facturer of farm implements, . and George D. Lee, secretary of the Cham ber, of Commerce bureau of industries and manufactures. W. O. Munsell and A. H. Averlll, the other members of the Chamber of Commerce committee, will view the machine at a, later dem onstration. ' Each member of the committee Is to make a separate report on' the ma chine. The chamber has not yet in dorsed the machine, but Is new Inves tigating it and the possibilities of its manufacture here. . . . - sired to be safeguarded can hardly be done by the present policy. Moreover the encouragement of a route around the south side of the mountain will tend to force the Elk creek route to the ' fore, therefore it may be viewed as a temporary, expedi ency. " .. ' - ' j In any case ample assurances should be secured from ,the federal govern ment if a concession to build the Elk creek road Is given and when given the city's populace can view the 'conse quences with equanimity and thorough assurance , of having Us water shed better protected. ' ' -. . ' . Altogether, there is excellent .rea son why the principal civic organiza tion of the city should make a special study oflhls entire problem. HOW TO OKDrg AND HOW TO PAT. The low sale prices are the net cash prices, and -those wishing to buy on time will pay simple Interest, riot on the entire amount, but on the deferred payment at 8 per cent per annum.
