That he is nut at all the fragrant romantic person pictured in the movies; that any girl willing t? run nwny with a Sheik, should be sent to an asylum, that the Turk is not as bad as he is painted, and the Armen ian worse; that the only hope for peace in the Near Kaat is first tho segregation of the Christian Greeks and Armenians from the Turks, rather than trying to compel their peaceful association by force, and second a re turn to tho F"rench-I!rltish accord, were a few of the salient . points brought out at the Pago last night by Major A. Alexander Powell, when he opened the Lyceum Artista course for the winter season, by an informal and picturesque talk of his travels and ad ventures in foreign lands. Major Powell who was stationed at Camp Iewis at the outbreak Of tho war, and is known to many ex-service men In Medford proved to be a very entertaining speaker of the non-professional, non-oratorical type, his lecture being crammed with vivid and amus ing personal experiences. Major Powell showed -a disposition not so much to defend the Turk as to give tho Turk point of view which he main tained is almost never given In tho American press or on the American platform. " w The lecture was preceded by an in teresting film showing the habits and customs of Malay head hunters, and other Btrange people in tho Far Kast which Interested the good sized audi ence. All in all it was an auspicious opening of the artists course which will be followed by the-Lleuranco con cert company November 14th and Arthur Mlddleton, the Metropolitan baritone on January 8th. , E. O. NT HONOLULU, T. H., Oct. 0. (By the Associated Press) K. O. McCor- mick ot San Francisco, vice-president of the Southern Pacific company was chosen permanent chairman of ho Panrl'acificCommcicial congress at Its first, business session today. Tho vote, was unanimous. . Dr. B. Ci. Mars of. Stanford Univer sity was elected permanent secre tary. " ALSO OPPOSED TO DOLLAR WATER John M. Root, the citizens candidate for mayor on being Interviewed today! said: )'. " ."Anyone who knows luc must real ize that 1 am deeply Interested iu the welfare of. our city. . "1 am strongly in favor of a continu ance of the sound financial policy now In force and insist that it be main tained and the city's credit Jealously guarded. "Wo have paving sufficient for a city of forty thousand population. What we need is more Industries with payrolls to employ people the year around. Thousands of people are com ing to tho Pacific coast each year t live and hundreds of Industries are socking locations in our western states and there is no doubt lu my mind that our city could bo largely increased and built up by a concerted effort by our live wires with an energetic mayor at the head to boost for the good things wo can Just ns well have as not. Our city has been drifting long enough and It Is high tlmo we becauio awake to our opportunities. ' "Dollar water Is an Impossibility, but pure water and In plentiful supply Is not." "Garbage Is collcctod and disposed of In hundreds of other cities without cost to either the householder or the city, aud can be done in Medford. "The crime wave makes it a neces sity to cut some wasteful expenditures aud add to the efficiency of a compe tent police force. I feel confident that I can work, harmoniously with any six nldermcn wtyeh tho voters will elect and will advise with our best men and women upon matters pertaining to our city's welfare and fair name. "I shall, when elected, be in my office and keep regular office hours where tho mayor will be found on the job. There are many problems con fronting us which must be BOlved along good business lines. ,lt la-necessary for Medford to have a mayor who has the time to devote to the work and I v"l willingly give it and my best etYuits to the upbuilding and better ment o Medford and our environ ments." The Pane Provides Double Headliner Bill Tomorrow TO Notice To members Chester A. Arthur Post G. A. R.: You are hereby notified that tho funeral of Comrade Trudell will be held nt Perl Funeral Home Sunday. Oct. 29th at 2 o'clock p. m. All mem bers are requested to bo present. ; WM. HAYS, Senior Vice Commander. Manager George Hunt provides a double headline bill tomorrow, Mon day and Tuesday at tho Page theatre with Jackie Coogan in his latest screen feature called "Trouble." There is no question but that Jackie is one of the dearest children on tho screen, a very boy still in his delight in mischief nnd a quite real artist In expressing himself. In "Trouble" wo find him a young ster bought at a "orphans" sale" by a sweet, womanly creature who does not care for children. Jackie has a pro pensity for getting into mischief, largoly becausa ho is ot an inquiring turn of mind. "Cops." Muster Keatnn's comedy sonsatlcn. tho other headliner on thoj bill, is based on tho principle that tno world needs fun relief. The melancholy countenance of the Irreprenslbly humorous star was never assaulted with greater hilarity and apparently Kcaton is the only one call able of facing his own comedy without smiling. "Polly of the Kollles" closes at the Page thoatre tonight, which is Miss Talmadgo'B latest starring picture. U'b a little gom of comody-drnnia. ' Program at Rlalto Superb in strength of story and cast, "Human Hearts," tho attraction at the Walto which closes tonight, ' stands forth prominently among tho offerings of recent months as a drama teeming with Incidonts and action of a compel ling variety. House Potcrs, popular veteran nt sUge and screen, heads the notable cast. U presents people from the humbler walks of life who llvo and love, hate and fight, just as do the people wo meet every day. "Stop On It," scheduled to open at tho Rlalto tomorrow matinee, Is one of the best things Hoot Gibson has yet done; it is n good story nnd a good natured young actor Is advancing in the art of expressing himself on the screen. It has to do with Vic Collins, who likes to chase horse thieves, but forgets his vocation when a very pret ty girl comes into his lifo, even when it is whispered she is the leader of tho thieving gang.

Smith, former commissioner of Jackson county, who passed away at hiB home in Josephine county, will bo held at the chapel of Weeks-Conger Co., Medford; at 1:30 Monday.
