dress wristlet or social wear
When a man pursues his outdoor hobbies, a pocket watch is often
an encumbrance and is put to hazard. Then a strap watch proves an
invaluable possession. And in the office or on the road the strap
watch performs its convenient service.
So, too, should a woman wear a strap watch for sport. The
intricate mechanism of her dress wristlet should not be put to the
continued stress of such rigorous activity.
Yet with evening dress a man's strap watch becomes incongruous
and a woman's sport model an ornament of doubtful taste. They
who hold convenience and correct dress as things of consequence,
possess two watches a strap watch for business and the sports, and
a dress watch for social wear.
Come in and view our beautiful display of timepieces for men and
women, including our extensive showing of watches dressed in the
popular Wadsworth White Gold Cases.

Walter E. Meacham, president of the
Old Oregon Trail Association, last week
addreassing members of local civic and
Knmminkl nreanizutions at a luncheon
at the Hotel Oregon, declared that the
recognition that the great historic
transcontinental route will attract will
direct an untold publicity to uregon.
"It links the past with the present, '
he eaid, "and draws the attention o:
the nation because of the romance con
neeted with it. The two greatest traili
nf history were the Santa be and Ore
gon trails. The former waa a trade
route, attracting venturesome spirits
lured by barter. The Oregon trail wsa
used bv homeseekers and empire build
ers, and every mile of it is significant
for some historic event, Romance and
traced v were occurring daily for the
30 years that the covered wagons
drawn by ox trains, were streaming
westward over the way laid out by
early, intrepid homeeeeker8"
Mr. Meacham, who stated that the
insignia of the covered wagon and ox
cart would be utilized in marking the
old trail all the way from the Missour
river to the Pacific Const, declared that
a campaign, now set in motion, will
not cease nntU the national govern
ment and the estate of Oregon have
given the old trail official recognition
by legislation. Ezra Meeker, aged 90,
who in 1906 drove over the old route
marking it with monuments, is now in
Washington interesting congress. The
Columbia River Highway and the
Mount Hood Lood Highway, the iden
tity of both preserved, will be linked
in with the old trail. Mr. Meacham
gave some interesting historical data
concerning the Oregon Trail. He told
how it was first used in 1811 and 1812
by Wilson Price Hunt. It was not
until 1843 when it became the really
great route of the homeseekers. He
declared that it had saved Oregon to
the United States. Idaho, Mr. Meach
am said, has already given the trail
official recognition and will have
marked across the state.
"This great trail, eaid Mr. Meach
am. "crosses a populous country, high
v developed. Jt penetrates neias oi
cultivated crops. Then, too, it pierces
a country of the most wonderful scenic
charm to be found anywhere. It cross
es the Sweetwater, the Snake, the
Platte, and the Columbia rivers. It
rises to inspiring eminences in me
Blue mountains and then it crosses the
Cascades, winding down one of the
world's most famous river gorges. In
order to carry the story of the old trail
to the world we have. renewed a mem
bership campaign in our organization.
Members will be accepted at fees rang
ince from $1 oer year up. Ihe story of
the old trail will have one of the big
gest advertising appeals of anything

PHOENIX CAMP NOTES
With the delivery theSpkst week of
10 carloads of materials,, the rnoenix
Utility Co. is ready to begin construc
tion of a three-mile pipe line along
Hood river from a dam, now under
construction, to a power house on
which crews are also engaged for the
Pacific rower at Light Oo. the mag
nitude of the construction work may
be comprehended when it is known
that 120 carloads of material will be
needed for its completion. George F.
Mackenzie states that materials will
be required in the following amounts:
Reinforcing steel and steel pipe, ib
cars; eteel bands, lor use on tne wooo
en sections of pipe line, 40 cars; rivets,
one carload.
Four cars will be required to handle
the steel needed for constructing a
urge tank 207 feet high to be located
near the power house. This tank will
ise 30 feet higher than the grade or
the new Mount Hood Loop Highway
which is not over 300 feet distant.
The members of the office force will
not pass the winter days without
amusement. Geo. F. Mackenzie last
week had a piano installed. Mr. Mac
kenzie, after trying for several weeks
to n-nt a piano, finally purchased an
instrument in Portland. It required
10 men to transport it along the can
yonside to his cottage home.
A chinook wind, melting early snow
fall on the high points, accompanied by
heavy rain storm, caused a Mood to
weep down the Hood river canyon last
Thursday night. A wing dam waa
washed out as was a temporary bridge
over the stream, rermaneni worn.
however, suffered no damage.
One Way to Get an Education
Snme time ago, writes a subscriber
to The Youth's Companion, 1 was trav-
ling in Europe with a young lady who
ived in a small town way Down Eat
n Maine, and who was more generally
informed in the history, literature, art
and music of thecountries we visited
than those who had lived in and had
the advantages of large city.
"Where were you educated; I
asked.
"I was brought np in my home town
and on The Youth's Companion," was
her reply. And this same liberal edu
cation is in The Companion for anyone
who will seek it. Try it for a year
and see.
