BARTMEiSS FDNERAL DIRECTOR MD PBACTICAL EH! HOOD RIVER, OREGON TRIBUTE PAID TO FREDERIC H. BALCH (From The Oregonian) Just now. when there fa wide interest in the beauties of the Columbia river. through construction of the Columbia River Highway, an anonymous writer has contributed to the Hood River Gla cier an interesting article on Frederic Homer Balch, author of the classic, "The Bridge of the Gods." It is a real romance an Oregon romance which deals in Indian legendary and tbe sacri fices of a heroic young preacher, and has for its background the noble river of the Columbia trorse. It may or may not be well known that Cecil Gray, hero of the story, who aacn need his life to teach the Indiana the religion of Christ, typifies Frederic Homer Balch. He was a minister of the gospel, of reverent mind and deep conviction -so deep and sincere that when he decided to enter the ministry he suppressed, or thought he did, the stirring and surging thoughts of the ro mancist, and actually consigned to the flames a novel of pioneer history, "Wallulab. which he had written. Balch was born at Lebanon December 14, 1861, and is buried at Lyle, Wash He died at the early age of 30. He had reconciled, during his service as preacher, his conflicting ideas of duty ; or rather, he had become convinced that the rele of writer of tales was not incompatible with his chosen occupa tion. Thus "The Bridge of the Gods" was born. It is idle to guess what Frederic Balch might have done if his life had been spared. What he did was a fine and worthy momument of hia real gen iub. Jo quote from a poem by i. k, Coon : "Lift up mine eyes unto the bills." From all below and find rest awhile ; Be free, my soul, from all thine ills. Look up and live, for God so wills. And these are his brown hills of Lyle. THROWS LIGHT ON CARBON DEPOSITS "If the amount of air entering the carburetor is not sufficient to insure complete combustion, we have what is known as a rich mixture," says a bul letin on carbon deposit and its causes, issued by the Standard Oil Company. "This is a slow-burning mixture rather than an explosive one and will cause excessive carbon deposit. "For example, if the wick of an oil burning lamp is turned too high, too much oil will be Siphoned through the wick for the amount of air entering the lamp to form complete combustion. The lamp will smoke, and soot, which is carbon, will be deposited on the chimney. "This is eaxctly what happens in the cylinders of a gas engine. The prod ucts of incomplete combustion of the gasoline deposit a certain amount of carbon in the combustion chamber. This carbon deposit will build up very much more quickly if it has a bed to build up on, such aa would be produced by a lubricating oil which when exposed to the heat of explosion would leave a gummy deposit. "Lieut. G. S. Bryan, U. S. N., has ably and correctly pointed out in his article on 'Motor Cylinder Lubrication' that lubricating oils manufactured from paraffine base crudes deposit more car bon than lubricating oils manufactured from acphaltic base crudse. The rea son for this is that paraffine base crudes contain paraffine wax, which cannot be entirely eliminated from the manuac tured product." THE MEANING OF GRIFFITH SUPERVISED D. W. Griffih has made a great nam in tba motion picture world of today. He ia aaid to be ahead of hia time. Beginning February 20, the Electric theatre will begin weekly showings of the famed Griffith-Triangle productions. lha tallowing ia from tbe pen of ear ly sle Ellis: To watch David Griffith at work; to sea in actual productive operation the mind that baa made the deepest imprint of any on the photo-drama- it is tbe heart's desire of every interviewer and writer of personality studies from New V 1. I -. . . I . I i lurn m nut mere IB no uuier uuunury. Being in Loa Angeles, it seemed a simple thing to do. One had but to gain entrance to tbe big Fine Arts studio. where Director-General Griffith spends hia life producing photoplays, and watch. Entrance was gained. Luckily we bad a eertain password that opened several doors before it led as to the first big open-air stages, abaded from tbe southern California aun by top shades of white cotton. We were free to wander about where we liked and for aa long aa we liked, ao long as we obeyed studio lawa. Chief of these is: Never step in front of a camera. That rule is obeyed even by the studio dogs, of whit"! there are sure to be several. Most of these dogs have either to be led on the set, so thorough is their understanding of the rule, or else rehearsed in the one scene till they know they belong there. The second law has purely local ap- flication and ia not really a law at all. t is expressed by everyone in about the same worda: "Better not bother Mr. Griffin unlesa it's absolutely neces sary. He's a very busy man." We conclude that he must be, not only be cause everyone we speak to says so, repeatedly, but because during one whole busy morning we failed to catch even a glimpse or tne man. tie is there, too. He is rehearsing or direct ing or consulting or all three, here or there or somewhere about, but you do not see him. On the big, orderly stage, crowded with sets and players and technical assistants, there ia a dominant spirit that you cannot at once put your finger on. If you are used to motion picture studies so you get a dozen impressions from a dozen different details and they all dovetail into an individuality the personality of the studio, which is sure to mirror accurately the personality of its director-general. Looking for this man Griffith you wander from stage to stage of the tine Arts studio, up and down tbe paved streets of this miniature city, from the group of technical buildings in one cor ner to the outdoor gymnasium in the court of the men's dressing rooms or on to the great storehouses of furnish ings and the shops. Everywhere you hear one name Mr. Griffith. The big projection room is to be clear for his work at five o clock he suggested a eertain kind of hanging for this Renaissance drawing room and go-that kind will be found at all cost Mr. Griffith saw it in rehearsal and let it go through so that it might be all right. That's a piece of business that Mr. Griffith suggested and it makes the scene. Mr. Griffith said to be there at (Tine sharp and, you know, he must not be kept waiting. The listening visitor becomes pos' sessed by the conviction that this in visible director ia at least five men. How else is such ubiquity possible? We stand among the quiet watchers behind the battery of cameras. Here are directors and assistant directors. operators and their assistants, players off duty or wailing for their entrance into the scene. Occasionally, a bit of vigorous, high-pitched dialogue from a set marks sharply the recording of some intense moment in a play, where the use of speech will help the players to an accentuation of dramatic values but for the most part voices are sub dued to ordinary conversational tone. There is none of the traditional shouting of directors, no fine frenzy at all. These are bnrhth directors.

BUCK CALLED BY DEATH PLAYING OF MAUD POWELL APPEALING One doei not have to be well trained in the technique of music to enjoy the violin concerts of Maud Powell. She is able to draw more than mere notes and formal tones from her beloved instru ment. When Maud Powell playa her listeners are touched by real music. Aa she proceeds from the first number ofjher concert to the last, her bearers nave become more and more In sympa thy and understanding with jier, and when the last encore has been sounded, the audience seema loath to depart. Maud Powell ia a master workman: she fiddles because she enjoys it. One can sea that at a glance. If he were blind this knowledge would be imparted to him when she began drawing her bow across the strings. A large audience of music lovers were present at tbe Riverside Congre gational church last Friday evening to greet the renowned virtuoso, who was presented here by the Heilig theatre.of Portland. Fred Bailey, of the theatre company, was here to give the concert his personal management. The concert was heartily appreciated. No number was better than the last. "The Barca rolle," from Offenbach's "Tale of Hoffman." One was made to think as Maud Powell played, that they may have such muisc in Heaven, that the angels may fly by it. , But in "Twilight," Massenet-Powell, Madame Powell seemed to draw pic tures of that time of the day. when stars are beginining to twinkle: when the wings of night birds are beginning to softly fan the air in its changing light. In this selection she seemed to make herself more deeply felt than in any other number. If one were coun try-reared he heard the soft lowing of cows at pasture bars, the hrst call of a whip-poor-will and the muttenngs of little birds as they sought refuge under a protecting eave. It was low, scarce above a whisper, but the tones of "Twilight" stole right into vou and you forgot even that you were listening to Maud Powell. Arthur Loesser was Madame Powell s accompanist. The perfection of his work, his ability to blend in with the playing of the virtuoso and yet keep in the background adds to the finish of a Powell concert. Mr. Leoeser also dts played his powers of charm as a piano soloist, in tact that talented young man is really worth more than a para graph. Madame Powell was presented by Mrs. Kay W. Sinclair, on behalf of the Musical Department of the Woman's club, with a handsome basket of Hood River apples. "In appreciation of them 1 can better express myelf in music than in words," she aaid, playing for the audience "Souvenir." When she and Mr. Loesser left the stage after tbe rendition of "Souvenir," H. God frey Turner, Madame Powell's husband and manager, came in to arrange the piano for Mr. Loesser'a solos. - One of the big red apples was left on the piano. Mr. Turner could not get his teeth, it seemed, into that luscious sphere quick enough. His big juicy bite, as he hurried back to the dressing room brought a round of laughter. The funeral services of the late Mrs. A. C. Buck, whose husband is justice ot the Peace or this district and prominent member ol the local post of the urand Army of the Republic, was held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Missionary and Alliance chapel. Rev. Anthony S. Donat, paBtor of the Riverside Cnngregatinoal church, was the officiating minister. Mrs. Buck, whose maiden namewas Mary A. Weaver, passed away at her home Wednesday night of last week. She had been an invalid for Beveral years. She was born October 15, 1845, in Mercer county, Penn. When she was four years old the family removed to Broadhead, Wis. When she was 14 they went to Eyota, Minn., and 12 years later she returned to Pennsyl vania. Mr. and Mrs. Buck were married May 4, 1880 at Warren, Ohio. They removed to White City, Kan., and in 1892 they came to Linn county. Ore. They removed in 1902 to The Dalles, coming the next year to this city. Mrs. Buck was a member of the local Congregational church and of tbe Or der of the Eastern Star. In addition to her husband, she is survived by a daughter, Miss Nettie M. Buck, of Portland: and a son, Sherman E. Buck, of La Grande. Following the funeral service inter ment took place at Idlewilde cemetery. The funeral was conducted by the Anderson Undertaking Co.

Carload of Fords Received The Colombia Auto & Machine Co. last week received from Portland a carload of Fords, seven touring cars and one runabout D. H. Drewery, secretary-treasurer of the local distrib uting company, says that he looks for a shortage of freight cars later, and prospective purchasers of automobiles are urged to make known their wants early, in order that they may not be disappointed by an impossibility of the company to deliver a machine.
