EAST DESCRIBED
BY NHL POWELL
That "Sheik'' is not pronounced
Sheek but Shake. 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 Funeral Monday ,
Tho funeral sen-Ice for the late
Joseph C. 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. The
funeral had been previously announc
ed for Sunday, hut owing to the Inabil
ity of relatives to arrive from the east
beforo that time, has been set for Mon
day. Services at the grave will be In
charge of the local V. O. W. at I. O. O.
P. cemetery.
Slw Moklo of Portland, belter
known In sporting circles us Ah
Kong, will arrive In Gold Hill tho
first of tho week for his olght round
fight with Johnny Carlson nt tha
Gold Hill pavilion Tuesday night.
The little Chinese lightweight is a
dandy and, according to tho dope,
should give Juhnny one ot the fas tent
battles of his life. Johnny Is In flue
shape for Tuesday's mix, which prom
ises to make tho affair interesting.
Introduc.UK the main event, Joe
Blackburn and Joo Walters, both of
Medford, will supply six rounds of
pugilistic entertainment. Doth Joes
are in A-l shape so this feature of tho
card should be good. Sonny Austin,
southern Oregon's miniature imper
sonation ot Harry Wills, will polish
off his fists on Hauling Davis. Tho
battler, according to insldo dope, is
a comer and will give Sonny somo
interesting exercise This four round
go will open Tuesday's fray and will
he followed by a four round scrap
between Kid Kennedy and Roy llyr
cley. The complete card of twenty-two
rounds Is ono of the best prepared in
these parts for come tlmo.
