LOVE INTEREST
Fl
There are two love interests In
'The Tornado," Universal-Jewel
starring House Peters which open
ed last night at the Oregon theater
Primarily, the picture is an emo
tional melodrama replete wit a
thrilling situations, more thrilling
by reason of the real danger en
countered by the star in his strug
gles against the unleashed force
of nature.
One of the love stories is that of
a man and a woman who have
been separated by a false friend o
the man convincing the woman
that the man is dead and gaining
tho woman for himself. This is
the situation on which is develop
ed the main story of "The Torna
do." The other love story has not so
much dramatic intensity, hut d-).is
have a lot of comedy intensity, for
it Is between a diminutive lumber
jack, played by Snltz Edwards,
and a buxom keeper of a boarding
house, played by Kate Price.
In real life Edwards hae to
stretch to attain a height of 5 feet
and on the scale he jiggles the
balance when it Is set at 100
pounds. Miss Price is nearly u
feet tall a d rotund in proportion.

To the Editor: After reading
le tiers in the Journal from partieu
out of employment I was remind
ed of the propaganda In the cam
paign of four years ago when the
cry was, let us go back to nor
malcy. That Issue won by an im
mense majority but the cost of liv
ing continually ir-creased and the
last month of 1891 it reached 3
per cent in December alone. In
the last campaign the cry was elect
Cooli-jgc or no work. As the old
example of the manufacturer of Sa
lem who called bis men in and told
them that If the income tax car

factory would closo and parties
tumbled over each other and vot
ed away their principles to retain
that little Job and Judging by the
election returns there should be a

out answering calls of men who
fay they must have a Job and can
not get It and when it gets dry
enough I shall havo It removed
in order to stop the annoyance.
The state houpe Is overrun wltn
applicants and we read articles in
your forum from parties out of em
ployment who innit that no one
shall be employed who is able to
live without it and they even insist
that where two are employed out
of the same family that one must
be discharged regardles of effi
ciency in order to give home oth
er one a Job and I dare say many
of these swallowed that old old
dose and voted against their prin

care not what party it Is there
should be a law to punish those
unscrupulous parties who bribe
and intimidate the voters every
four years in order that they them

to have them tell of it. It seemed
as large to me, as it does now,
when my father bought this place
50 years ago. (Docs Dr. Byrd or
Jasper Skaif remember It, when
they were boys) I'or SO years it
has shaded our door yard from the
eastern sun and many a weary
team rested beneath its shade.
Later the tourists stopped, one
traveler said, I have traveled all
over the world and I have never
seen a more beautiful tree so beau
tifully situated. Its space on the
ground takes only about 30 inches
while its branches extend for over
60 feet over the entire road. Its
a thing of beauty for the highway.
V.ut for me it would not seem like
home without it, and now .they are
talking of cutting it down, because
they are going to hard surface the
Salem-Champoeg road past my
farm. That's why I am pleading to
all old pioneers and their genera
tions to all lovers of beauty along
the Oregon highways to those who
are preserving the trees In our
state, and cities, to those who
have charge of the floral decora
tions to the elks and the Masons
and the Odd Kellows, to the K. K.

STORY FEATURE
OF GRAND'S BILL
One of the moHt thrilling love
stories ever written is brought to
the screen at the Grand theatre
where "Ills Hour," the Metro
Goltlwyn plcturizatlon of the Eli
nor Glyn story is being shown.
A young English widow. Tarn
ara Loraine meets Gritxko, a Rus
sian prince. She ia prim and con
ventional duo to the fact that she
has been reared as one of the
linKlih arlstocray and her emo
tions are hidden far beneath aj
frigid exterior. Gritzko, on the I
other hand, is wild, impulsive.
handsome and the most beloved
man In all Russia. Tamara is at
tracted to him, but resolves not
to fall under his spell as every
other woman has. She Intricues I
him by her distant charm, which
la different from anything he has
over before encountered.
By her pronounced aloofness she
spurs him to deeds of deviltry.
She openly dislikes him, but is real
ly hypnotized by the brilliant fas
cinating prince.
The afafir reaches a climax and
I alone, am defending It.
"Woodman spare tlie tree
Touch not one single bouMh,
In youth it sheltered me
And 111 protect It now."
The Salem-Chan'poeg road you
know is a crooked road, it winds
in, and out, so altogether the tree
stands In the middle of the road
from the sway at Homer Egane,
the hard surface road could go al
most straight, as It does now. Just
on the west side of the tree, where
it would have 30 feet space. If not
enough, I would move my fence,
as I own the land both sides of the
road. It would go past almost
straight, that would be the state
road, if we could collect even 10
cents each from donaters for the
old oak tree, we could build an oak
tree branch. Just a tiny, road of
about 100 feet on west side of tree
merging out and in to main road
with scarcely a bend, and north
and south of tree there would be
just tho narrowest strip left for
the floral society to plant a half
dozen rose bushes and the tallest
ever blooming climbing roses with
evergreen foliage, or ivy, to climb
the tree. The tiny oak tree hard
surface road would give the trav
eler two roads full with instead
of one road while passing tree, then
who should complain. The sur
toundl'.igs too, at this spot will
look charming to the traveler. In
my dooryard, and barn yard stand
the white oak companions of the
tree two loftier locust trees, and
tall pear troes planted by Bent
Jones Uncle Sampson Jones, about
C5 yoars ago, who then owned and
named the White Oak farm. Any
on .wishing to eend their mite,
with names to savo the tree, either
individually or collectively. (Money

As its Coach Body has changed the whole

So Essex Chassis likewise forecasts the
mechanical design of the future
Essex provides stability without unnecessary weight.
It has economy vithout sacrifice of performance.
It is low priced without disappointment in looks or

1 1 is more than up-to-date in design. 1 1 is in advanca
of any car with which its price can be compared.
It is built on the Super-Six principle, by Hudson

In quality Hudson and Essex are alike. The patents
which make the Super-Six the most enduring,
