Umbrella Handles.
Lack of variety In umbrella handles
bas been notable for the last few
years, and those that are shown for
the coming season are little changed,
aay the Now York Times. There have
been a few attractive wooden handles
with well-carved dogs heads, but
they were. In the small parasols of
short-time use. A French Importer
had a variety of handsome umbrellas
or sun umbrellas for women with
amart, carved wooden handles, big
balls or anleals' heads, which were
reduced In price early In the season,
but which at the 25 per cent reduc
tion cost from $22 to $49. These were
carved by soldier artists on the other
side. - One of the novelties of the last
season has. been In the form of big,
gay-colored allk handbags, with up

were tucked tiny, gay-colored folding
parasols, the hinged handles turned

As a Citizen of Oregon You Need
The Port of Portland
If you owned a store you could not make a big success unless
your business methods were as modern as your competitors. Unless
Oregon develops her shipping facilities she cannot expect to get her
share of the world's business. It rests with the citizens of this state
whether Oregon shall develop her wonderful resources and reach out
for bigger markets, or remain practically an inland, state.
To become a real port, a 30 foot channel must be dredged in the
Columbia and Willamette Rivers from Portland to the PacificOcean.
This will enable farmers, stockmen and lumbermen in the interior of
th9 state to reach the marketsof the world at a lower freight rate and
greater prof it to themselves.
The taxing and bonding power to make these improvements can
be granted to the Port of Portland only by the people of the state.
You and every other citizen will benefit if you, on November second,

"Capital and Industry: Keep Out"
WOULD YOU, AS A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN OF OREGON, PLACE
SUCH A SIGN ON THE BORDERS OF THE STATE
That is exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure
No. 814 and 315 on the November ballot .entitled ."Contsitutional Amendment fixing Legal Rate
of Interest in Oregon."
This measure proposes to limit the rate of interest in Oregon to &hper cent. You can by law,
fix the rate of interest in Oregon, but yoa can not, by law, force the loaning of money in this
state,, when a much higher rate can be secured elsewhere. The passage of this measure would
force the withdrawal of the millions of foreign capital which is today loaned on factories, busi.
ne3s and real estate in the state and send your local money owners outside of the state to better
investments
Passage of this measure would mean foreclosure of thousands ofjnortgag es, would result in fin
ancial paralysis, and would mean widespread unemployment.
You, no doubt, understand the viciousness of this measure, but have you talked to your neigh.
