but attributed it all to the general
hard times. She did not know, nor
does she now, that the trade that
was once all, hers, that might still
have been hers, has left her, perhaps
for good. She did not know that
the money of the Inland Empire now
goes East for goods, or that Seattle
is selling dollars worth to her dimes.
This is true, and yet not all the
truth, for the half is not mentioned.
This article is not written in a
fault-finding or carping spirit. The
writer realizes that it is bad condl-
tion for all concerned; t;lat the way
to build up our state is to patronize
our own people, and tnat it would
be better for US, better for Portland !,
could the barrier between them be
broken down. It viii not be done
by such advertising committees as
passed through The Dalles last night;
that pulled down the curtains on
their cars as though fearful the pri-
vacy of their sanctuary might be in
:vaded by some uncouth bunchgrasser.
It will not be done by visiting com
mittees who rush by Portland,s best
patrons to seek IN the far-off Boise
new field.
It is not too late for Portland to
regain her lost trade, but she has
created competition for herself, and
that competition she must now meet
and vanquish.

No great beauty on the stage today.
no theatrical pet of the public, can be
mentioned as a parallel example of Ehe
fame of Pauline Markham. The ap-
Dlau5e showered upon Cleo de NIerode
is mere visionary shadow compared
with the solid mountain of aduIation
poured upon Pauline Markham. 1t
was nearly a nightly incident for her
to stand knee deep in flowers rained
upon her by her audiences. Her ex-
quisite beauty and matchIess figure
were her sole magnets. Nasty scandals
which have aroused d fetid interest in
the Merode, and which form the corner
stone of the French woman's hold upon

probably sent flowers and diamonds to
the fair Pauline in their youth.
These old men are a nightly part of

tell each other how she used to look
and how sadly she has changed; how
her voice has lost it's velvet melody.

They go away glad to be rid of this

Pauline Markham faces her condition

''But-for your own sake" she

"A worthless anchorage" was the re-
