PARTISAN MODELS
ARE VERY FINE
tOur Daily Disconnected Story.)

Partisan models are the most in
teresting feature at the Pantages
this week. They are something on
the order of the classic statue
stunt, only these are modern works
of art, so to speak. There are
nine people in the act Studies in
porcelain and bronze are given, and
they do them so well that it is al
most impossible to realize that
human beings are presented, and
not simply reproductions of people
In art. 1t is one of the best fea-
lures seen at Pantages for some
time.
Recognition" is the title of a
good sketch, well played. The Four
Luciers are original in their choice
of instruments, but they get some
delightfully."- enchanting tones out of
them.
The work of a blind artist, J. r..
Lucier, received applause and de-
served it. He performs on differ
ent musical instruments.
A novelty hoop-rolling stunt is
very nearly star, and is all the
better because the idea is more or
less novel.

THE GREAT PRUNE PLOT

| wouldn't stop a man from building

stammered, "But-mutual indem-

The agreement was ratified and
the land duly transferred to Nc
Pherson and registered at the land
office. Mcpherson handed over his
check for ten thousand; then
slapped his leg, sank into a chair
in the lawyers office and roared
with laughter.
Il got you easy, there, Nathan
son, my boy he cried. You thought
that l suspected you of harboring
stolen diamonds in that great heap
of prune shells. Why, Williamson,
you bit like young pike. Why, I
wanted the land was-because
there's a great diamond pipe not
400 feet below, running out of the
Phenix. Ho! Ho! And you pre-
tended to be afraid of discovery and
stipulated that there should be in
demnity Williamson, I'm ashamed
of you"
Diamonds, hey?" said Nathan
son, drawing a sheet of paper from
his pocket. Mcpherson looked at it
and his face turned chalky. 1t de-
clared the land diamond digging,
and was dated four months back.
I'm going to take that land back
again, Mr. Mcpherson" said Nath-
anson, smiling. Let me see-it's

hundred tonight, and you'll get 1t

POSTMASTER OF =
PORTLAND DIES
'By United Press Leased Wire)

PORTLAND, Ore, May 30
John p Young, postmaster of Port
land, died at his home at 1876 this
morning after an illness of several
weeks. He was unconscious when
the end came. His wife, two sons
and a daughter were at his bedside
during his last moments.
Young had been suffering from
cancer of the stomach. For a week
he had been in a comatose condi-
ton preceding his demise.
He was born in Salt Lake City
December q, 1850 and was a
nephew of Brigham Young, former
leader of the Mormon church. He
received the appointment of post
master of Portland in 1909. Pre-
viously he had served as private
secretary to Senator Bourne of Ore

FINLEY TALKS
Of Conservation of Forest and How
to Make Land Yield More to
the Acre, Diversified Crop

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. Fin view Of
the general interest through the South
in the question, of conservation and es-
pecially on account of the assembling
of the Southern Conservation Congress
in fhis city today, the opinion of Presi-
dent w. w. Finley of the Southern
Railway company on this aubiect as
expressed in an address on ''The In
terest of the Railways of the South in
Conservation, delivered at the Sec
ond National Conservation Congress
held in st. Paul, Mimi, September Z,
will doubtless be read with unusual
interest.
Laying down the broad principle
that the interest of the railway of the
South and those of the people of the
South in conservation are identical,
Mr. Finley defined the type of conser-
walton most needed in the South as
mot the narrow idea of the with
drawal from the present use of some
part of these resources, but the wise
use of these resources" Taking soil
conservation as one of the most vital
questions before the Southern people
today, Mr. Finley gave figures from
experiments conducted by the Ameri-
can and foreign governments, showing
that where proper methods are used
productivity of soil increases with its
use, and in this connection Mr.. Finley
urged more attention on the part of
the people of the South to crop rota-
ton, proper fertilization and live stock
raising as the surest means to accom-
plish this much desired result.
Recognizing that forest and stream
conservation are interdependent, Mr..
Finley said that too much should not
be expected of the national govern
ment, and suggested the ACCESSIBILITY
of changes in the tax laws by state leg
islatures looking TO a tax system that
would differentiate between timber
lands so managed as to insure the per-
petuation of great natural resource
and those SO managed as to hasten
its exhaustion.
"As respects timber and all other
resources" said Mr.. Finley, 81 am
convinced that the type of conserva-
tion that should be adopted in the
South is not the withdrawal of these
resources from use, but the elimination
of waste as far as possible and their
wise use as the basis of diversified
industrial development that will carry
them through all the processes of man.

consumer"

ly decided to proceed with the work as
soon as the city attorney reports on the
deeds and the city engineer can make

On motion of M. b. Martin it was
decided to grade Maple street from
Buffalo to Sewer and the city commits
sioner was authorized to advertise for
