PORTOLA BUREAUS
ARE BEING OPENED
Hotel and General information
Is to Be Dispensed by
Committee

In order that the great crowds at
teHdlng the October festival may be
properly housed, the Portola committee
is establishing information bureaus
about the city, which are to be in direct
touch not only with the hotels and
apartment houses but with private
houses having surplus room In this
way the eity's guests will be saved
trouble and expense, and at the same
tlme be made to feel at home imme-
dlately. One bureau has already been
opened at Third and Market streets.
opposite the Claus Spreckels building
Another will shortly be placed in the
ferry and a third IN the Townsend
street station.
The information bureaus are planned
as centers of promotion work, where
pamphlets advertising the state will be
distributed along with the festival
programs.
That the people are beginning to
realize what the Portola celebration
means to the bay cities and to Cali
fornia is made evident in the funds
received by the committee. While many
or the checks are large, the great
number of small contributions has been
doubly gratifying to the committee
The money is welcome as it will be
needed in the magnificent entertain
ments. but the widespread interest
means that every one is working indi-
vidually to make the festival the great
est in the history of the coast and
unique in the world
The encourag cement given it by the
mass of the people at the very begin
ming has filled the committee with
hope. In order to carry out the fes-
tival plans as promised to the world,
100000 must be raised. If the people
continue to respond as they have be-
gun, the sum will be obtained without
trouble.
If the world can see what tremen-
dous resources have been behind the
rebuilding of the burned city. how the
need of the state for central seaport
has established a new record in con-
struction, the contributors will be
quickly rewarded. Thus the celebra-
tion means greater prosperity for all.
Coming in 500 Autos
MARYSVILLE, July 2S.-One of the
biggest features at the Portola festival,
to be held in San Francisco in October,
will be the parade and display made
by the Northern California boosters
club. This organization is being
effected expressly for the Portola
event
The boosters will proceed to San
Francisco in 500 automobiles. The
autos will begin to assemble at Red
ding, and machines will assemble at
prominent centers all the way to Sac
ramento, where the capital city autos
and those from Nevada county and
Yolo will join.
The features of the parade will be
the displays carried by the autos. Be
sides banners and pennants, there will
be exhibits of products of the north
ern part of the state, and huge ban
ner will tell spectators that I'VE pull
together"
The automobile tour originated at
Meridian, in Sutter county, from which
place trip with 80 autos was made
UP one side of the valley and down the
other last month. The Chico auto club
is the prime mover in the Portola tour.

ASK BEAUTY'S AGE.

French Discuss Question When
Woman Is Most Beautiful.
Paris. April 24-The French press, In
she midst Of strikes and May Day fore
bodings. is busily engaged in discussing
the question at what age q woman is
most beautiful. Some Of the best-knovn
artists. playvrights. and literary women
Of Paris have answered the question ac-
cording 10 their opinion.
Marcel Provost says that the age OF
absolute beauty In woman passes very
quickly. but in Paris many women are
most attractive between thirty and forty.
Feminine beauty. according 70 Abel
Bonnard. the poet, is only perfect be-
tween the ages Of twenty-five and thirty.
while "a woman is always beautiful II
she has the beauty OF her age" Is the
opinion OF Nile. Breslau. who adds. how
ever, that 'the majority OF our contem-
poraries appear to forget Il" Her per-
sonal opinion is that g woman is her
best between thirty and forty.
Nine. Magni, the novelist. considers
that the beautiful woman's triumphal pc
rIod is between thirty-ive and forty, and
lime. DieuIafoy declares for the years
between thiTty-three and f0rty-five. Nine.
Marcelle TinayTe. the novelist. says that
II is impossible 20 deal with the question
OF woman's beauty in figures Two wou-
en- born on the same day are not fifty
or the same day.
There Is no age for beauty" she says.
'tAr roses do not bloom al the same
time
womsn's age for retreat has been put
back within recent years. according to
the opinion OF several distinguished per-
sons. The reason given is that women
to-day have a more just notion OF their
value. The progress OF feminist ideas
has emancipatsd them from the old
slavery to husband and family.

FEAR PLATINUM FAMINE.
Russian Mining Magnates Cause De-
creased Production annually.

ST. Petersburg. April 24.--The world is
threatened with a platinum famine The
price OF the metal IS rising rapidly
Platinum is chiefly mined in the Ural
Mountains. and Russia supplies p per
cent Of the entire worlds production.
Never before has the output OF the min
eral sunk 70 such a low figure. In 1905
only about four tons sixteen hundred
weight were mined. The production has
been falling of steadily since 1901. when
Il amounted 70 SIX tons five hundred
weight
The reason for this shrinkage is not
because the platinum mines are becom-
ing exhausted. but because the owners
have formed a combination with the OBJ
Jet TO restrict the output and thus force
The price up For this same reason new
boriRgs have not been made for a consid-
cradle time.
Although a scarcity OF platinum would
not affect industry IN general very much.
Il IS Of grave Importance TO the scientific
world and the hope IS expressed by
many scientists that platinum deposits
may be discovered elsewhere, so that the
production may no longer remain de-
pendent on the plans OF small number
q Russian mining magnates.
