OKECON LAMPORT HOME COPIES EARLY ENGLISH STYLE LACK OF RAIN CAUSES SLUMP IN FISH CATCH Torture Of Youth In Arkansas Bares Rule By Switch And Rifle FORMAL NOTE ELIMINATED BY MODERN PLANS Remodeled Home Follows Manorial Lines Followln a general style of r. chitrtiire that m&j common to mtIv Enslish manorial homes, but with modern adaptations that have eliminated much of the com ior mailty that was to be found In many of these structures, Mr. ana airs. v s. Lamrjort have remodelled their home In Ben Lomand park Into an Imposing structure that retains its note of extreme llveabu- ity. The Dlans. drawn by Otis J. Fitch, Portland architect, Included the raising of roofs, rebuilding and ad tition of flues and fireplaces, re finished interiors and exteriors, ad ditions of courts, grilled iron work railings and three additional rooms, and new floors. A new steam heating plant sup plying concealed radiation, togeth er with Its 3.000 gallon fuel storage tank to avert the necessity of re plenishing the fuel supply under adverse weather conditions was an additional feature which may not be overlooked in the consideration of details which make for comfort of the home. From the driveway which tra verses the Lamport grounds Into two main terraces, one receives a pleasing Impression of gables and chimneys, all three of the latter capped by four individual chimney pots each in keeping with the early English note of the general plan. The lower half of the exterior is of pink stucco, white washed, with the color barely shining hrough, and heavy spruce boards, battened with spruce strips. Above the head of the steps one comes upon a newly laid flagstone and brick court and thence to the left up broad steps to a recessed porch with roof sup ports of "chapeled" beams. Entering the main hall, one turns to the left Into the living room which extends the width of the house. Here one encounters, as In other main rooms on the lower floor, the wide-panelled ceilings with stippled finish. Old ivory has been used almost entirely In the enamelled wainscoaViigs, base boards, door and window casings and other woodwork. Floors are of finest grade oak, with polished mahogany finish. To the rear of the entrance hall and right from the living room is the music room. Entrance from this is gained to the rear hall which communicates with the library, and other rooms. A fireplace occupies a prominent place in one wall of the living room. A second fireplace Is found in the ea.it end of the sun room or con servatory, (either term being applic able to suit the occasion) and a third fireplace. In natural stone effect. Is found In the library, which Is finished In natural stucco. The conservatory is to the east of the main living room, and with Its glassed-in walls constitutes an Individual wing In Itself. It Is equipped with a large radio loud speaker concealed over the mantel of the fireplace and Is connected with a central radio receiver, to be used for dancing. In the right wing of the house Is the dining room occupying the northeast portion of the main structure. Dividing It from the li brary Is the rear hall with stair way to the upper floor. The kit chen occupies the right wing, with the garage and upstairs sleeping quarters for a servant appearuig as an extension of this wing. The upstairs of the main struc ture Is divided by the stairwell and hall Into two wings, the left con sisting of two guest rooms and bath finished In lavendar, with mother of pearl fittings, and linen closets. A "futuristic" guest room in the right wing Is papered in brilliant hues, with lighting fixtures and a leaded glass window overhead car rying out the futuristic note. Further on, extending the full width of the house is the master s quarters, with alcoves on cither side and large closets In either end of the alcoves. These were to be lined wllh tightly fitted Tennessee red cedar. An additional bathroom for the convenience of occupants of the right wing has also been included. In addition, another lavatory Is fround leading off the first lauding of the stairway. A large leaded glass window In cathedral style, with a floral de sign including hollyhocks and other flowers In the Lamport gardens, ad mits light to the stairwell. The old garage on the west of the main hoaie has been remodel led so that servants' quarters over head, with entrance through the klthcen, can be completed, and a covered passageway, also support ed by chapeled timbers, affords en trance either through the finished basement hall and stairway or through the rear servte entrance, from the garage to the house with out one having to encounter disa greeable weather conditions. The gardens. Including front ter race and shrubbery and fishpond and pergola In the western end, and the terrace and tennis court below the driveway have all been retained A new stepping stone walk, and fill ed garden against the hill have been added In the rear of the house. Mr. and Mrs! Lamport were mak ing preparations to move Into the house Saturday, although not all details of reflnlshlng the Interior will be completed until next week The home, when It Is refurnished, will according to Mr. Lamport, rep resent a value of approximately 1100 000. with the house valued at l.W.000. the fumlshine at 25 000, and grounds an additional 125.000. Mrs. Bertha Stuart. Interior dec orator of Portland, will direct the furnishing, . Reproduction of architect's mand park shows application of early English lines to one of the finest homes in the city. The home, in its setting, rep resents a value of approximately $100,000. Otis J. Fitch, Portland architect, drew the plans. EXPENSE OF COUNTY DUE TOJROAD WORK (Continued from page 1) $377.753 JO or the cost of roads ex ceeded all other county government i costs not Including school costs by $4 10,1 02 I Or, placed In a different view point, these figures show that while road costs from 1903 to and Includ ing 1929, had multiplied themselves over 17 times, the cost of county government, outside of roads and ! schools, had only multiplied itself ; a little over four times. Indi cating another count against the automobile as to the responsibility i for the rising tide of governmental expense In the county. i Motor vehicle registrations were not segregated by counties at the secretary of states office before 1920, but in that year it was shown the county had 6,753 cars and In 1928 18,153 cars were registered from this county. The total 'registration of automobiles in the state In 1905, the year they were first registered. was 218. Colncldentally the year 1920, which has been the ebb tide so far for county expense showed total governmental and road costs up to $818,969, and that same year auto license registrations over the state rose to 103,790 from 83332, the first year when the state hit over the 100,000 mark for automobiles. It was that year too when road costs jumped from $449,120 to $680,062, the highest mark of any year outside of 1923, when they reached a peak of $715, 091, a mark not since equal led In road costs. In 1928 they were $137,348 less than In 1923 and while the budget is not yet pre pared It Is likely they may be Jess In 1929 than In 1928, although there will be available a huge sum, prob ably totaling around $780,000. due to the fact that the state will collect license fees for a year and a half instead of a year. But because of other governmental costs it Is like ly road expenses may be trimmed a little while the extra half a year if available will be saved for the succeeding .year's expenditures. The total governmental expendi ture for 1929. If the entire extra 6 per cent allowed under the limita tion amendment is taken may run up to $800,676.72, but even then It would be considerably behind the top year of 1920 with Its $818,069 expended. The following record shows how government costs exclusive of schools, and road cost has mount ed in the county year by year dur ing the past 26 years. The total county cost as given below includes the road costs, while the total road cost are segregated In a separate column: Tottl fftuntT cot IMS 74.191 04 ip(h M-im IW lDO.ftPS 44 1M 110.107 31 lftOT 11.

Carle Abrams, secretary of the state board of control, thinks the departments will not be able to move into the building before March. There Is a possibility, however, that the building may be occupied In February. The entire first floor or tne big building will be turned over to the motor vehicle registration depart ment, with the exception of space In the center of the building taken up by the rest rooms, a mailing room and a place for the cigar and con fectionery concession. Sam Foster, who for several years has had this concession in the capltol, will move into the new building, and much better appointments will be arrang ed for him than are afforded by his present location in a corner of the first floor lobby. There was a reason for locating the motor vehicle registration of fices on the first floor. One Is that this Is one ot the largest depart ments, and the first floor loses no space on account of the court on the south side of the building as do the floors above the first. The main reason, however, for locating the department on the first floor was for the convenience of the public who apply to the department in person for their motor vehicle li censes. ; The state Industrial accident com mission will occupy the whole of the second floor, and the state high way department the entire third floor. The highway offices will in clude the bridge division of the de partment which now has rented quarters in Uie Oregon building down town. On the fourth floor the war .et crans' state aid commission, which now has rented offices in the First National bank building, will have quarters along the cast end of the new building. The state military department, now occupying rented quarters in the Bligh building, will occupy a large suite of rooms on the west end. The state insurance commissioner will occupy the suite of office rooms ranging along the north front of the fourth floor. The ol f ices of Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian, will be on the south side bordering the court. Going to the fifth floor the com missioner of corporations will have his offices and filing rooms along the west end. The north suite of rooms will go to the state tax com mission, and the offices bordering the court on the south side will be used by the state board of higher education. The east end of this floor will b vacant. The second floor of the present state building on the east side of 12th street that Is now occupied by Uie motor vehicle registration de partment will be taken over by the state printing department. The bindery will occupy the second floor. In the old capltol building the offices vacated by the insurance commissioner will be divided be tween the state engineer and the secretary of state, the latter taking the two back rooms occupied by the Insurance department at present. The stat4 bnning department. remodelled home of Mr- and Mrs. F. S. Lamport in Hen Lo will be located in the new of court building have been as which now has rented quarters in the Ladd & Bush building, will move into the offices on the second floor of the state house now occupied by the commissioner of corporations. The offices now occupied by the tax commission will be left vacant for emergency use when the tax of fices move to the new building. On the third floor of the old state house the forestry and labor de partments will divide the space va cated by the accident commission, and the public service commission wilt spread out and take part of the present highway offices. A part of the latter will be left vacant for emergency use. OPENING OF MODEL HOME DECEMBER 10 Opening of the new six room model home which has been under construction on Kingwood Heights, which was originally scheduled for this week, has been postponed until next Sunday, December 10. according to A. C. "Biddy" Bishop, who said all details of the house and the Kingwood heights project will bo announced in a special four page section Of the Capital Jour nal to b published next Saturday evening. .

PADRE OF RAINS BLAMES SUNSPOTS San Francisco (JFh-Rain for San Francisco and northern California in early December was predicted Friday by Father Jerome S. Ricard "Padre of the rains" of Santa Clara university. Tl.e aged cleric, an advocate of the sunspot theory in predicting weather said the spots had been governing the weather over the coast and that when their positions changed early next month the weather also would cnange. With only .01 inch precipitation recorded since July 1, this autumn, weather office records show, has been the driest since the Inaugura tion of the office in 1819. SILYERTON STORE BEING REMODELED Silverton The front of the Water street meat shop has been torn out and is being remodeled to coincide with the Worden new business buildings adjoining it. The space directly next to the meat shop will soon be ready for Joe Feilen to move his modern bakery Into, from its present site In the Bock building on Oak street, and the market front will also be completed within a few days. These two with the Adams Floral shop and the Aim Cash and Carry grocery make a big Improve ment to that section of North Water street. TWO GIRLS CAUGHT BY STATE OFFICERS Joyce Henderson, 16. and Minnie Hendricks, 19, inmates of the state Industrial school for girls, made tneir escape Just after the Friday dinner hour and were apprehended last ntgl.t 16 miles north of Salem while tramping along the Pacific highway. The girls had prearranged their escape and broke the glass In one of the institution doors in order to leave tl.e school. In doing this one of the girls lacerated a knee. When caught by state traffic officers the girls, who were thinly clad, were suffering from cold, and one of them limped badly. The two girls previously have served In other corrective Institut ions, but have been in the Oregon school only a few months. After be ing brought here last night they were In charge of Police Matron SLanks until turned over to author ities from the school. More than four tunes as many American automatic refrigerators are being used in Great Britain as a year ado.

The year has been far from sat isfactory to the fisherman. Tl.e slight rainfall which has caused streams to drop to a. level seldom reached is largely responsible for poor catches, devotees of the game state. At the present time coast streams such as the Nestucca, Slleu and Siuslaw are being fished for silver- sides and for salmon trout. But it will take a heavy rain to bring the streams up sufficiently to allow the fish to come In. Rogue river, reputed one of the best streams in the state for sporty fishing, failed to live up to its re putation this year. Slack water Is believed responsible for this con dition. Tl.e duck season Is supposed to be open but it might as well be closed as far as results are con cerned. With the exception of a few private ponds virtually none are be ing bagged.

Fort unately that's nearly all imagina tion as there is nothing lost. No calamity has befallen the country destroying out national wealth. Our resources are still intact. We have plenty of food, houses, and fuel, etc. Our industries are still func tioning producing necessities of life. And the money is all here too. Noth ing has perished, thank Ood. Of course some money may have changed hands in the last few weeks, but that Is all according to the ethics of our present systems. Every day we witness how our en tire wealth is getting more and more centered under control of a few Individuals, who holds the bal ance of happiness or despair for the common people in their hands. As the medieval age had Its bar ons and kings, who considered the people as mere chattel property, so have be our kings and barons of money, who are speculating with out necessities of life while wo men and children are starvnig. Of special Interest to the farm ers In particular will be the op erations of the federal farm relief board, which literally speaking con stitute a new system. Inaugurated by President Hoover, Here Is a method of doing busi ness, which if it proves successful, will deal a death blow to specu lators in foodstuff. None but the federal government Is strong enough to undertake such an experiment. North Dakota tried it once, or some thing similar, with disastrous re sults. They not only had to fight the wheat kings of the Chicago board of trade, but the money pow er of the whole country. There is n reason why the same system should not be applied to Wall Street. And It Is but a short step from there to public ownership, which in spite of its imperfections is to be preferred rather than be ing at the mercy of the speculators. L. E. SWENWOLD. Salem, Nov, 24.

Modernize Your HOME Kansas City, Mo. (UP) Whisperings of a woman, dragged from a squalid cabin in St. James Hills of northern Arkansas and flogged, have bared peonage rule by switch and rifle in the hands of Ozaik land barons, the Kansas City Journal-Post said Fri day. Details of alleged feudalism and life of bondage among the na tives of St. James were told in a ! dispatch from Mountain View by a I staff investigator of the Journal-1 post . I These barons, the Dry Creek and Cagin Creek clans of secluded set- , tlements in the . mountains near J Mountain View, Arkansas, are be- j ittg questioned in the torture mur der of Connie Franklin, war veter an and intruder who, the Journal Post said, "was too smart." Franklin' was beaten, mutilated and placed upon a fiery pyre before the eyes of 16 year old Tiller Ro miner, the girl whom Franklin, a psychopathic suUerer and fanatic, had the audacity to love in the face oi the asserted "rights to wc-men" by the clan. Franklin screamed and begged for mercy as his tormentors plied a knife through his flesh and tossed him on a log fire while they forced the girl to look on. His screams echoed through the woods and thru the chinks of cabins to ears of hill dwellers. But with club and gun the clan commanded silence. "I heard Connie," Mrs. Charles Ruminer, mother of the girl, re vealed "but I wuz afeered them fel lers wanted to get my man, and I wouldn't leave him go." Mrs. Martha Burns, 40, and her 80 year old husband who had seen the clan rule from generation to generation, also heard. They were promptly warned and flogged. Mrs. Burns got her revenge. Afraid to go directly to officers, 17 miles away "as the crow flies" she whis pered "awful happenings last March' Franklin was murdered on March 8, "a right smart while after sunset." Only hinting at first, Mrs. Burns later was instrumental in supplying evidence that a horrible crime had been committed In the thicket where the charred bones of Frank lin lay. As a recult five members of the Cabin Creek and Cagin Creek clans are held in the county jail at Moun tain View, including Alec Fulks, al leged ringleader. They are charged with first degree murder. Others are sought. The most damaging evidence against Fulks was given by "Uncle Lou" Saunchisek, a hermit of the hills, who came forward at the be quest of Mrs. Burns and revealed he had seen the entire torturing of Franklin. He said he watched the proceed ings from behind a tree. First the men took turns slugging Franklin. Then another mutilated him with a knife. They tossed him on a fire. He rolled off. begging for mercy. They "EVERYTHING" IN BUILDING MATERIALS Call us for Building-Materials.

WASIft OIL WASTE GOOD TO USE AGAIN Charlestown, Md- (fl Soap and water wash the waste lubricating oil of auttomobiles in a new oil re claimation process devised by Dr. Carl D. Miller, professor of physios at Washington college here. Use of water and some ordinary commercial mashing powders to separate solid matter from the oil is one of the first steps of the rec lamation. The secret of this washing Is to keep the oil from emulsifying that is, turning into a milky substance, from action of tl.e soap and water. Dr. Miller claims to have prevented this emulsification. In a five-month test on crank- ' case drainings of the Baltimore Coach company, Adrian Hughes, a superintendent, says that from 829 gallons of drainings 616 gallons of satisfactory lubricant have been re covered and used over again in the motors. On addition there were recovered 178 itaHons of kerosene. PHONE 111
