This decision was written by Justice Harris and concurred in by all of the other supremo judges except Justice Eakin who did not sit and Justice Bean who dissented. The caso wns brought by the State of Oregon ex rel C. W. Mulling district, attorney of Clatsop county against the Port of Astoria and the commissioners of the Port. The district attorney brought suit to restrain the Port of Astoria from engaging in the trans portation and passenger business and to restrain thorn from expending $100, 000 in purchasing a line of boats. The circuit court judge, J. A. Eakin, dis missed the suit and the plaintiff ap pealed to tho supreme court. Tho Tort of Astoria was organized in 1910 under an act of the legislature which gave tho port the power, among other powers, to aquire and operate tow boats, pnssenger boats and freight boats. The plaintiff stated that the commissioners of the port had already spent $o00 to this end and unleBs re strained would spend $100,000 more. In his opinion Justice Harris states that Ports, while they are municipal corporations, and not pure municipal corporations as cities and towns. Only cities and towns, he says, can legislate' a power to themselves but Bince tho power in question was given to the Port of Astoria by the State legislature the port has the power to proceed with out interference from the courts. How ever, if the people wish to stop the pro ceedings they have recourse to the re ferendum law which would call for an expression from the people at tho polls. In other words unless the people them selves wish to restrain tho port com- ; missioners from any action the courts j cannot do so if the powers under which I tho commissioners are proceeding are specifically set joriu in mo cnartcr granted by the state legislature. The supreme court affirmed tho de cision of Judge Willinm Galloway in the ease of Mark H. Upton against tho State Industrial accident commission in an opinion written by Justice Mc.Brido. This suit was brought by Tipton to test tho constitutionality of the act which created the State Industrial accident commission. Judge Galloway held that tho act wns constitutional in tho cir cuit court of Marion county and Upton appealed to the supremo court. In an opinion written by Justice Mc Ttride, the decision of Judge Henry K. McGinn was affirmed in tho onso of George Skyes and other plaintiffs and respondents, against the Proebtnl Land ami Adjustment Co., defendants and appellnnts. This was a suit to deter mine tho ownership of somo property in Portland through a long lino of descend ants and relatives. T)he suit to recover $05,000 for 1000 shares of O. W. P. stock brought by Jane Muir as executrix of tho estate of Willinm T. Muir against James Mor ris and Fred S. Morris was also decided in the supremo court today. Justice Burnett wrote an opinion nffirming Judge McGinn in the circuit court of Multnomah county. The circuit court I rendered a judgment of nonsuit and tho ! plaintiff appealed to the supremo court. ! Tho other cases decided were as ful lows: If. B.

Fifteen movie peoplo here today told how they were rescued from being snowbound in the Bear Valley by a team of 10 Serbian sledge dogs, taken into the wilderness to participate in the filming of an Alaskan drama. A blizzard last week closed one pass into the valley, and the actors three women and twelve men found them selves facing starvotion. They had provisions for a few days, and the dogs, if they eared to eat them. Instead of preparing for a seige, they decided to "run for it." With a second blizzard approaching, tho women were londod upon the sledge, men donned snowshoes and they headed for the outside world through'anothor snow swept pass. Rescue parties met them at the snow line, and they were safe in Victorvlllo late that night. Try Capital Journal Want Ads. Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull nnd heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing tho poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. We should drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from tho sttanach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en tire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water ou an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour, fermentations, gases, waste and ' acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious ness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it nnd you are assured that you will look better and feel bettor in every way shortly. It is Perfectly Proper For Girls to Propose Says Dr. Freyermuth San Francisco, Jan. 11. It's perfect ly proper for girls to pop the question in leap year or any other year for that matter, in the view of prominent local men and women today. They practically run the courtship, anyway, and guide it to the proposal point, quoth Dr. Otto G. Fcryermuth, psychologist, so whnt 's the difference. "Man little realizes it," he said, "but it is tho woman who works all tho strings up to the very moment when the man pops the question. There is nothing abnormal about a woman proposing. If a girl loves a man, there is no reason why sho should not suggest that they wed. She all but docs that in most cases." And, if girls had the popping priv ilege, according to Superior .Judge Gra ham there's be fewer divorce cases. "The trouble in most cases," said the judge, "is that tho girl does not have time to consider tho problem. Along conies some whirlwind wooer and takes her off her feet before sho knows it. later she finds he is a cad. But, if the girl did the proposing, there would bo more care in selection and more time taken and so fewer divorces." Rev. Francis A'nn Hour of tho Oak land Congregational church who recent ly ndvocated tho old fashioned fire sido courtships nnd offered to open his parlors to wooers, declared: "All should wed. If a girl is really seriously in love with a man, there is no reason why sho should not tell him so as frankly us he tells her. All should be mated soon er or later and a young woman should havo a voico in the choice of her futnro partner." Mrs. Gcorgo Wale, president of the San Francisco Parent-Teachers associa tion said sho believed that cither party could take the initiative. DANDRUFFS" HEADS BECOME HAIRLESS If you want plenty of thick, benuti fol, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will stnrvc your hair and ruin it if you don't.. ' It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. Tho only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvo'n; apply it at night when re tiring; uso enough to mosteii the scalp and rub it in gently with the. finger tips. By morning, most if not nil, of your dandruff will bo gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You. will find, too, that all itching and digging of tho scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid nrvon at any drug stole. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Albert Gabel Maintains That Shooting Accidental Fortlnml, Or., Jan. 11.

I Pittsburgers and Detroiters Held to Be British Prisoners By Wilbur S. Forrest. London, Jan. 2. (By mail.) Alex andra Palace, England's largest single internment camp for civilian prisoners of war, corresponding to Germany's Huhleben, near Berlin, is the fascinat ingly interesting British Military City, I was permitted to visit today. No other prsg representatives were there; and this is the first time a press man has been permitted to enter this camp. More than 3,000 enemy aliens, rich and poor from all parts of the world, are living at Alex.mdra Palaco, north London. Hundreds of Croats and Poles from rittsbnrgli and Detroit, captured on their way home to fight; well known European musical artists, in terned while performing in England; Germans and Anstrians taken from ships in the Atlantic and the North Sea and Austro-Germnn directors of big British firms, togethor with alien inhabitants of England, some of thirty years' residence, make a unique and re markable colony for tho duration of the war. There is no social distinction in tho threo battalions of a thousand men each. Military discipline prevails. It effects tho English-German aristocrat and the lowliest Pittsburgh steel work er alike. A company of British soldiers guards the palace which in pence time served as a London Coney Islund, or White City. There are benevolent societies, di rectors' meetings, institutes of paint ing, drawing, sculpture; a theatre that would do credit to Broadway, work shops for dozens .of trades, a fully cqumped hospital; schools, postoffices, football and Swedish drill; laundries, mammoth spotless kitchens, stores and shops, commodious bath rooms and dozens of othor things inside tho bar bed wire enclosing this multitude. "They are making the best of it and it is my duty to let them enjoy life to the limit of military possibilities," re marked Colonel Frood Walker, a Brit ish regular army veteran of twenty years in tho Orient, who is tho com mandont. Tho commandant's words voice the British attitude toward prisoners of war, both militiry and civilian. It considers the human sido of those forc ed to live behind wire cntangleconts. Once a week tho commandant turns over his office to prisoners who have complaints. He hears tho stories and does what he can. The mnn with a grouch tells his troubles to tho captain of his moss. Jf it is meritorious, the complaint is pnsscd to the alien com mander who governs a hundred men. Ho takes it up with tho battalion com mander, another alien who governs a thousand men. Then the coiuplaimtnt may appear in person before the vet eran conimandunt, who never 'strafes' the enemy. Twice weekly the coinmnndant per sonally inspects every ono of tho 3,000 beds housed nndor the groat roofs of tho palace. These beds are neat and clean,- with fou Maitkcts and a soft mattresses for unch. There are eight cooks for every thousand prisoners. . The food is 'pro fared and taken . to tho threo great mess rooms, each of which cun com pare in floor space to the main lobby of New York's Grand Central station. Here is the food allowance, per iiiiui per day: 1j pounds of white bread, pound of meat; pound of pota toes, two ounces of peas, lentils, beans or rice; two ounces of cheese, tinned milk, suit and pepper. There is after noon ten Willi bread nnd butter. Kniich battalion his a large canleen where a prisoner may uugecut his food supply. The wealthier internees free ly patronizn the canteens, but tho or dinary fare is better thin the average Pittsburgh steel worker ever had in his life. These Pittsburgliors aren't, anx ious for the war to close. They're sat isfied. The American embassy, Ood-futhcr of all enemy aliens In the British Isles, works hind in hand with a special committee of the wealthier interned men to cure for tho speuiul wants of the poor. Tho women and children on tho outside aro the principal benel'ici aricB of this joint benevolent society. Moro than 3000 cases havo been at tended to since September. Alcost every prisoner looks forward eagerly to the weekly theatre. Hero artists, somo high in the profession perforin vaudeville stunts. Profession al actors present the latest plays. The theatre will seat 1500 persons. The scenery was v.iinted by artists who rank high in British and Gerninn art circles ami is iiifintely belter than Hint found in the average London play house. A smaller hull, for 500 persons is set aldn for the evening musicals. This bull is always crowded, At tonight s concert ilerr IA Lorant, an Austrian violinist who will be heard in America after the war, wns tho star atlraetloa Hi program, much applauded,- was: Teufel's Trille, by Tartini; Noctourne, ChopinSarnsat; Zephyr, Hubay; Bal lad & Polonaise, Visiixtmnps.

CURLING HAIR LIKE THIS PROMOTES ITS HEALTH For those whose hair is straight and lank nothing better could be recom mended than the silmerine method. This insures a beautiful curliuess which is perfectly natural in appearance, and the health of the hair is not affected as where the heated iron is used. A few ounces of liquid silmerine which can of course be had at any drug store lasts a long time, so it is quite econom ical to use. It is pleasant to use, too, being neither sticky nor greasy, and is easily applied with a clean tooth brush, i The hair should be moistened the full ! The pretty wavy effect in evidence in the morning is surprising to those who try this simple method the first time. The liquid also serves as" an excellent dressing, giving the hair a le'ightful gloss.
