GETTING READY FOR JAN. 1.
The mails are flooded these days
with circular letters from liquor deal
crs, particularly from San Francisco.
After the first of the year it will be
illegal to advertise liquor in any
shape, hence the mails will be re
sorted to, requiring names, which
are now being sought. A San Francis
co solicitation for business is sugges
tive. It reads:
To you. Friend
You have probably used our goods
for years but the direct relation of
buyer and seller has been absent. You
know our goods but you do not know
us, so we hasten to mention that wc
are "Delighted to meet you." This
changed method of handling the busi
ness of the northwest is unnatural to
us and will probably be more so to
you; we therefore want to get right
up close to you and say "Friend, we
want to make your ordering" as eas;
for you as possible, and will handle
your every order 'Within the Law.'
MAKING FILMS.
The development of the manufac
luring of films for the show houses
is one of the wonders of the age. The
business is so lucrative that every
where there have sprung up large in
stitutions for the setting of the plays
for the films. Southern California be
cause of its climate, is perhaps the
greatest in the world. Another one is
Jamaica, where, it is said tlTe William
Fox Corporation is producing a mil
lion dollar production, already $373,
000 having been spent. One thous
and tons of properties have been sent
there and $175,000 spent for cos
tumes. The government regulation of the
Island of Jamaica forbids the land
ing of any animal, not even a dog is
permitted to enter, but owing to the
large expenditure of money and the
employment of native help, hotel ex
pense, etc., the government of Jamai
ca gave Win. Fox special permission,
permitting the entry of the wild ani
mals necessary for the production o:
this, wonder photoplay. By arrange
ment with a South African firm of
wild animal importers there has been
, landed in Jamaica 75 camels, an as
sortment of lions, and panthers.
In the staging of a battle scene no
less than 25,000 people took part, r.nd
fortunately for the producers, 10,000
Hindoos who worked on the Panama
Canal were interned at Jamaica at the
outbreak of the big war and through
permission of the British government,
they are also being used in the pic
ture. A large detachment of the na
tive born whites are being used for
army purposes and are also used in
the picture in costumes supplied from
the United States. There was also
drafted from the service 5,000 horses
used by the cavalry on the island.

I WORK OP PRESS APPRECIATED
Newspapers of Oregon Helped Mate
rially to Make Oregon Exhibits
Great Success,
San Francisco, Dec. 20, 1915.
Albany Democrat: Nothing has
been more instrumental iu the ack
nowledged success of Oregon's un
dertaking at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition than the hear
ty friendly interest of the newspaper
men of Oregon. In the preliminary
work incident to urotising interest
and gathering exhibits the Oregon
press performed an invaluable serv
ice. In sending to the Oregon Build
ing for filing purpose and public peru
sal, and in finding it possible and de
sirable to use any portion of the news
matter sent out from this building,
the Oregon newspapers have perform
ed another splendidly helpful service
At this time, as the Exposition period
is about to close, the Commission de
sires to express its sincere apprecia
tion of this generous cooperation and
to acknowledge its deep sense of ob
ligation. I would urge you to accept
this expression as anything but the
stereotyped "card of thanks," but ra
ther as a sincere grateful acknowl
edgement of a truly helpful service
that has been noted and frequently
commented on by the Commission
when in formal session and privately
as well.
As you know, the Commission has
served the state two years and whol
ly without compensation. It's whole
effort has been an entirely unselfisii
service in bchal: of the state wc all
love and which we hope will be made
more populous and prosperous as a
result of the endeavor here. To
whatever success there has been the
Oregon press also has certainly con
tributed its full share, and it is our
confidence that the results will show
mightily during the coming years.
It may be of interest to you to
know that the Oregon appropriation
for use at the Exposition has been
so carefully conserved that there is
still ample within the fund to finish
the work here in accordance with
contracts and the State act.
Yours truly,
OREGON" COMMISSION,
Panama-racific International Expo
sition. GEO. M. HYLAND,
Managing Secretary.

THE SEVEN DAYS' KING.
Short and Tumultuous Career of a
Neapolitan Fisherman.
In 1047. when the kingdom of Na

Spain, a flshcrinuu of Sorrento was

Forty year of Spanish oppression had
mndo I hem rrnntle. They terrified the
viceroy, resisted -the soldiers success
fully and killed muny of the Spanish
residents. They secured s revocation
of oppressive edicts, the nbollshuient
of oppressive tuxes and full pardon for
ill who engaged In the Insurrcctlou.
Tho fisherman, whoso name was

success seems lo hnvo turned hls'heud.
He became dictatorial and oppressive
