FIRST STRAW HAT HINTS OF SPRING No Matter What Almanac Says, Wearer Sees Winter as a Speeding fugitive. The. new 1921 straw hat made its first appearance Saturday. Its owner walked it nonchalantly down the sunny side of Broadway, callous if not Indifferent to the thousands of eyes that lighted with surprise, curiosity ahd smiles. "Hushing the Reason? Not a bit Of it," scouted the straw hat wearer. "When the calendar or the almanac or the weather experts say that spring doesn't officially start until March SI, they are Just taking the average for the country as a whole. Portland beats the bell by a month oa the national aver age, "Can you feel that soft, warm air and look upon that wonderful sunshine and tell me that winter hasn't left us? This Weather feels like spring, it looks like spring ahd, by gosh, It is spring!' Crocuses leaped into parti-colored bloom on spangled lawns that never had lost their green. The faathery blossoms of the plum flaunted gentle defiance to fugitive frost. The caged creatures of the city park too sniffed the air inquiringly and an swered with varied -voice to a message from wild uplands where the sun was also shining. Long tailed lambs a day or tiro old gamboled gayly on the meadows of Wil lamette farms, delighted with the play ground world to which they had come. Even raucous crows acquired a joyous note as they circled down upon the rreening wheat field Where the tender shoots were a banquet Bpread.

Paid to Veterans Who Live in Oregon Approximately 9360,000 will be paid to War veterans in Oregon by the utate of Washington this Spring, through the operation of the Washington state bonus act. More than $250,000 will be paid to men who now reside in Portland. This esimate is based on figures supplied by Louis .Seagrave, cashier of the Lumber mens Trust company, who is handling the preparation of applications for com pensation in Oregon. Since the announcement was made by the bank last week that it had received application blanks from State Auditor Claussen Of Washington and would as sist the veterans without charge to pro cure their bonus, it has been ascertained that more than 1000 men in Portland have applied either through the Ameri can Legion post or the bank. In addi tion about 500 others have applied from other points in the etate. Many more will apply. The total number eligible, however, cannot be - ascertained at the present time. ' The state of Washington's bonus act allows each Veteran a bonus of l a month tor each month in service. It also makes the same allowance to war nurses In military service and to de pendent parents, widows and children of men who died while In uniform. Ac cording td Seagrave the average bonus for Washington service men who reside m Oregon will be about $240 each. "It is necessary for those who have not yet applied to enclose their discharge papers with the applications when they are forwarded to Olympiad said Sea grave. "No applications can be sent to the state auditor until additional proofs re procured by- the Veterans, showing that they were residents in Washington at the time they entered service and that they entered the service while resid ing In the state. This additional proof cans for the written statement or a Washington resident wtio knows the facts and we have necessary blank here ready to forward for such sig natures."

Alleged Violators A deputy United Stated marshal will leave Portland Monday for Fossil, Or to return three prisoners charged with violation of the national prohibition law, who were arrested last Tuesday after an exciting raid conducted by SberUX Oscar Kelsay and two deputies. The sheriffs party, which was on horseback, caught the moonshiners at work: as they dashed upon . ths lonely cabin in the hills about two miles from Fossil, The sheriff fired at one man who was making off with the copper ceil. Frightened, the man dropped the coil and threw up bis hands. The Coil was Warm when the sheriff picked it up. Another moonshiner started into the cabin, supposedly after a Winchester rule, but a deputy drew his gun and forced him to throw up his hands. The third operator drew a pistol, but was also overpowered. The captured men gave the names of Joe Miller of Grand dalles, Or.; Roy McGann. Coburg, Or, and Abraham Koch of. Eugene. The agents confiscated the 40 gallon till, which was made out of a gasoline barrel, about 100 pounds of commeal, and a gasoline grinding maehiae to crack the corn. Chairmen for the principal stand ing committees Of the flose Festival wra appointed by Otto "vV. Mielke, president of the festival board, at the meeting of the directors Thurs day at the Multnomah hotel. Plans for the perfection of the show were outlined And will be made ready for public announcement this week. At the meeting Mielke told of his ambitions to make this year's festival greater than that of any ever held in Portland. He went further and said that he wanted to see Portland a veritable garden of roses by the time the 12S exposition Wat held. This could be done. he said, by planting and caring for roses In all parkways along the curbs in the residential sections. He pointed out that other cities of the Pacific coast had a publicity fund maintained by public money and said he believed the funds for the festival should be raised by a cer tain millsge tax. SBOW IS BIG ASSIST "The Rose Festival means much to Portland as advertising," he said. "Many people come here merely to see the show and then stay. Ws eannot afford to give it up unless we want to take a back seat In the tourist trade and the develop ment of ths state. We must either make good or quit and surely no one wants to do that." The committeemen appointed were : Finance, W. L. Thompson ; floral parade, Henry W. Kent; civic center, C. P. Keyser; festival queen and women's participation, -Mrs. C. K. Ruhyon ; con ference. Bares Leonard : oceanic and in dustrial, H. II. Haynes. The plan of the Portland Service league to divide the city into districts has been done on the basis of the old Tammany hall scheme of the "group of eleven." Squads of 11 men are com manded by a second lieutenant, who are in turn commanded by a captain in charge of a preoinct. The precincts are the same as the election precincts. The precincts are parts of sectors commanded by a major and an adjutant and they are parts of a division commanded by a general. There are eight divisions in Portland. LEAGUE TO SPUfi GROWERS The work of the league is to encour age the people to grow flowers for the floral parade and to stimulate growing among school children a series of prises are to be given, i The winners of 'the grand prises will be entitled to ride in the parade. The committee for prises con sists of A. F. Holmboe, H. C. Pawnall, Frank Barf inger, Edgar Stipe and i. J. inglehart. Special attention is now being given by the league to get the people to plant sweet peas and trim the rose bushes so that they may be in bloom by June. Meetings are to be held in the various parts of the city under the supervision of the majors of the sectors so the entiro population may be interested in ths work and each feel that it is his duty to help in this year's Rose Festival. Roy N. Heath, major of the Beaumont sector, will talk to the school children of the Rose City Park school Monday, March 7, and explain the best methods of cultivating flowers. Monday night Major H. W. Morgan of the Sellwood sector will have the leaders of each pre cinct in Sellwood meet with him at his home, 630 Tenino street.

Pa wink, murdered second cook of 'the steamer Mon tague, confessed - to government agents his 'Knowledge of a $6009 shipment of "cooked opium" aboard the vessel soort after it had docked from, the Orient, he probably signed his own death warrant, according' to a statement made Saturday by One of the deputy sheriffs Who had been working on the Barnes ro&d murder case. -. The entire galley crew of the Mon tague was seemingly mixed tip in smug gling, or at least they all had knowledge that smuggled goeds were aboard, eatd the deputy. Pawtuk was arrested by federal , officers February 13, one day after the steamer. docked from ', the Orient. . , - - - - . Pawluk confessed to knowledge that smuggled goods were aboard the steamer when he was caught leaving the vessel with a big piece of jade concealed in one of his stockings. ttaftt tir cooked oricif On February 16 the federal agents found 150 6-tael cans of cooked opium, valued at $40 a can. Several members of the crew were arrested , and , given a hearing February It. It was on this same date that Pawluk and John Bruno, chief cook aboard the vessel, ceased to room together.. Before that time Bruno and Pawluk hid been the closest Of friends and had always roomed together. .Bruno moved to an other rooming house In th north end and remained there until the day after the bullet-riddled body of the - second cook -was found on the Hoffman cum mer home premises on Barnes road. -. Since that date the authorities have been unable .to find any trace of Bruno. It is believed by the deputy sheriffs that Bruno, if he did not have a hand in the disappearance of Pawluk, at least has suiiicient knowledge ef his pal's enemies to assist in clearing up the muraer. WOMAN THEOBT DROPPED The authorities are devoting more ef fort to fixing responsibility upon t smuggling gang than upon a possible altercation over a woman. In Pawluk's clothing were found several indications. including a pair of woman's gloves, that a woman might have been mixed up in the murder. It is known that Bruno and Pawluk were both enamored of the same woman and even in thw case that a woman was responsible Tor the Quarrel which led to Pawluk's death, it is believed that Bruno can also aid in 'clearing up this angle. The coast, has been circularised with descriptions of Bfuno and the author! ties are bending every effort locally to trace tne enier cook's movements. All other clues have been run down and the authorities feel confident that the finding of Bruno alone will clear the case. : ' . ' Albany Oashie Buys Interest at Lebanon t Albany, Or., Feb. 23.

AURPtTTWll My Practice 1 Limited to High-Class DeaUitry oaiy i v . - j . r VvfV' 1 Vtb -'2 I disapprove of a secret "fee bill" system of charging for dental work t because I believe MOST of the charges as therein contained are entirely too high and also because I do not believejthat all dentists do equally good work and there fore all are not entitled to the same compensation. However, between the high priced dentist who docs high Class work and the low priced dentist who docs inferior work, my sympathie$ are with the man who does the better work. What you PAY for dentistry is not to be figured by what the dentist CHARGES you AT THE TIME. People : should bear :m mind that a POO R DENTIST, even in a fine office, is still a POOR DENTIST; arid, de spite the fact that he overcharges you, the work will also be poof. . - s, :- . . . On the other hand, a first-class dentist can (if he is will ing to) give you the very best dental service for a reasonable fee and still inake-i fair profit. - .People contemplating dental work may learn the truth of ALL. the above assertions. iy visiting VARIOUS dental offices, but they may save .themselves that Unpleasant and costly experience by coming direct to this office, which hag for many years pioneered the way in moderate prices, better materials, guaranteed workmanship and minimising pain.

WHether'an appeal will be taken to the supreme court in tho case of Thomas LotlBso. convicted Katurday of the murder of his wife, Tessie Lotisso, last November, has not yet been determined by his counnel. ' "I shall taka time to think it over," said A. II. Perrera. j It is understood that attorneys for tho defense consider that a victory was won in getting from the Jury the recom mendation for a Ufa sentence tnntend of the death penalty, although during the trial they malntained-'that the wort they expected was verdict of manslaughter. During the trial the defense took many exceptions to the ruling of the court on the admissibility of evidence as a pre liminary to an appeal to a higher court. LETTER IS 'CHIEF EXCEPTION i Chief among these exceptions was one in relation to a letter from the Chicago branch of the Hed Cross to tho local branch which the court would not hl lowr to go into the record. This letter, it was said, was an acknowledgment by the murdered woman of misconduct at Chicago while en route from Kngland to join her huuband in Portland. The paaalng of sentence on IvOtleso hert Wednesday by Judge licit will be a mere formality. The new law restoring capital punishment In Oregon provides that the. jury may substitute a recom mendation of life imprisonment for ths death penalty and that it is mandatory upon the Judge to follow the recommen dation of the jury. In considering the verdict. It la reported that the Jury's ballots revolved principally around ths question, of intent and deliberation. It waa debated whether the evidence showed sufficient premeditation to con stitute the crime of murder in the first degree or not. PEEMEDITATIOX IX DOUBT There was a doubt in some of the juror's minds whether enough time had elapsed between the moment the W'lfa began to run away from her husband in the street and-the actual shooting to fur Msh a base for premeditation and delib eration. The point was referred to the oourt who replied that it was for th jury to decide, as it was a Question of fact. , The court did, however, repeat his In structions on what constituted delibera tion, 'saying that while it required an appreciable time. It was not a question of minutes. It was only neceHtiary to determine whether there waa sufficient time to decide on a certain line of action.
