"I have been looking Into the possi

nection with our firm for two years,"
Frank said this morning, "and have
Just returned from an extensive trip
through the East daring which I made
thorough Investigation of many of the
- best known lines of phonographs. It
may come as a surprise to many people
that the instrument finally chosen Is
manufactured In Portland and that the
materials entering Into Its manufacture
are largely Oregon products. Oregon
spruce Is recognised as the best wood
grown for the manufacture of sounding
boards and Its use by the Pacific Pho
nograph company has given distinction
to the tonal qualities of the Stradivara."
rtAKS ABE PERFECTED

Stradivara department of the Blumauer
Frank Drug company, and has perfected
plans for the introduction of the ma
chines in all sections of the territory
controlled by his company.
"It is a matter of considerable pride
with this firm that we are able to choose
a home-made product that ranks ahead
of eastern phonographs. Purchasers of
Stradlvaras will not only receive as good
a machine as any made In the country
but will save the higb freight rates paid
on Eastern makes sold in this territory.

Eddy, treasurer; Ira F; Powers, F. A.

The Georgians reentered service to

the meantime she has been equipped
with two brand new boilers and a new
propeller.
While the Georgians was on the ways
In South Portland, the competition from
Puget Sound slipped in with the speedy
Astorian, also a propeller type. As the
time drew near for the entry again of
the Georgiana into service, there has
been talk along the waterfront of little
else than the coming contest. The Har-
kins Transportation company . took up
the gauntlet thrown down by the Puget
Sound company and the Georgiana was
placed in direct competition with the
Astorian.
In some respects the contest is un
equal, but generally the points of com
petition balance up well. The Georgiana
has 650 horsepower, the Astorian 950.
Both are propeller types, each has two
boilers. The Georgiana is 80 feet longer
and of slimmer lines, the Astorian hav
ing more beam.
The Astorian has but four stops to
make. Oak Point, Cathlamet, Skamok
awa and Astoria, against the nine list
ed for the Georgiana. The latter will
pause, and members of the crew as
sured everyone that the stops would be
nothing more than pauses, at Kalama,

Correct lubrication
is a science
Something more than good, clean oil is
needed for Correct Lubrication. It must
be an oil that will meet the lubrication
needs of the automobile in which it is used.
Such an oil is Zerolene. It is high-quality
oil made in various consistencies to
meet the lubrication needs of each type of
automobile engine.
By exhaustive study and engine tests, our
Board of Lubrication Engineers has determined
the correct consistency of Zerolene for your make
of automobile. Its recommendations are avail
able for you in the Zerolene Correct Lubrication
Charts. Get one for your car at your dealer's
or our nearest station. Use Zerolene for Correct
Lubrication.

And In the meantime Captain Jacob
Speler, harbormaster, sat at his station
in the Stark street landing and critically
watched the speed of the two as ithey
sailed down the river this morning; for
he had given warning that the speed of
eight miles an hour In the harbor,: per
regulation, was not to be exceeded.
After passing the Portland flouring
mills they were allowed 12 miles an
hour until reaching the Linntory oil
docks. After that, the sky and the ca
pacity of their engines were the limits.

FREIGHT OF CONNECTING ij
UNES STILL, EMBARGOED
Railroad embargoes, which have prac
tlcally shut off Portland from freight
movements since April 10, continued to
lift this morning, the O-W. R. & N, an
nouncing cancellation of orders which
have banned shipments from fnbvlng
over the Oregon Short line and union
Pacific railroad as far east as Omaha.
On other railroads serving ,the Port
land district no change was made in, em
bargoes, which resulted from the sitch
men's rebel strike in western terminal
points, on the southern Pacific, freight
is moving freely as far south as Kce
ville, Cal., and east from that point to
Ogden. Utah.
The principal trouble in the Portland
district today is the continued embargo
against acceptance of freight from; con
necting lines. A great number ofi cars
are stored in the Brooklyn yards of the
Southern Pacific and unless connection
embargoes are lifted the congestion
threatens to become serious.
Only one new crew of switchmen! was
added to the forces working in local
terminal yards today. A total of
crews, or 105 men, are now employed
n the district, while normally 342 switch
men are employed. The one new'icrew
was added by the O-W. at the Aibina
yards.- The S., P. & &. Southern Pacific
and North Pacific terminal yards .have
added no new crews since Monday. :

LOANSTO STUDENTS AT
REED TOTAL $11,368;
MANY
IK THEIR WAY
Fifteen loan funds at Reed college
have given students financial aid to the
extent of $11.36$, according to figures
announced today by E. B. MacNaugh
ton of the Reed board of regents. Reed
students have received 216 loans since
1911, and of these 107 have already been
paid back for the use of other appli
cants. The loan funds originally
amounted to $6741.95. the gift of Port
land citizens. Interest increased the
amount to 17078.77, and as often as a
loan has been returned, it has been re-
loaned, so that total aid amounts to
more than $11,000. The amount loaned
averages $50.
Reed students have taken" advantage
of the many opportunities for self-help
at Reed In addition to the loan funds.
More than half the Reed student body is
partially self-Bupporting, and there are
Jobs in connection with- grounds and
building, and Reed departments, which
enable students to earn their way
through college without great difficulty.
Figures recently compiled show that
Reed students earned $32,315 in one sum
mer vacation.
Most of the men at Reed are now
benefiting from Oregon's state aid to
ex-service men, all eligible for this
bonus receiving $25 a month. This pays
for tuition and room, and it Is proving
a life-saver for man a student who
would otherwise be working at low
wages.
