"Farmers and labor have discovered
their joint power through the primary

Chairman Johnston at the opening :

ors. Rooster feathers probably are about
as cheap a material as can be found,

EDNA HOPPER, AS 62. .
YEAR OLD FLAPPER, IS
RILLS ATTRACTON
O'clock Matinee Wednesday
Planned for 'Women Only';
Make-up Methods Shown.
Edna Wallace Hopper, 62 year-old
flapper, wilt be the attraction nt the
P.ivoli theatre on Wednesday. she
k'M appear first at I P- m. In n "wo
men only" matinee, when an tne se
crets of youth will be revealed to the
anxious ears of Pendleton femininity.
At 2 p. m. the regular matinee will
open, and both men and women will
be admitted. At this will be shown
the motion picture play "The Cirl
from Porcupine," with Fair ISinney.
Miss Hopper will appear also at the.
regular evening show.
There has been some controversy re
garding Miss Hopper's age and some
I Insist that she is J2 and not 62. Miss
I Hopper has expressed herelf as much
(amused nt the. reports' that she is
younger than her real age, and says
that when she was In Low Auueles. one
woman at the matinee declared that
Miss Hopper was as old ns S5.
"Another woman,' "i elates M'ss
Ikopper, "said that I was neither S5
or 62, hut that I was her age, which
was 35. Then it was my turn. I asked
if there wasn't some kind woman in
the audience who could prove that I j
am only 2r."
Miss Hopper's remarkable re.tuven-
ntion is due to plastic surgery, to obe-
dience to health rules and to oxer-
else, she declares.

A total loss of f 15, 000, 000 or . more
some covered by insuramvi ranging
from '10 to l0 per cent, was estimat
ed by seeral conservative 1 ankers
today after surveying the situation.
The Increase in the original o.-Hi-mates
resulted when the cost of re
building streets In tile city was taken
into court. 'Ill s cost alone is estimat
ed at not less than f l.r.00,000.
Construction l"oor.
Many of the streets in the devas
tated area were built on viaduct, and
th's condition-alone Is responsible tor
the wide sweep of the firo before It
was brought under control.
If lower insurance rates are to be
obtained, these streets must be re
built by sand fills and this type will
rout considerably more than the via
duct plan.

"With Urn muokc of the fire still

"Many of these employes, 'Who in

on for a t'mie," Mr. Drake said, "and
others have part salary lliat will tide
them over for several weeks, but In i
