SCHOONER REPEAT IS
DRIFTING ON BEACH
Scudded Before 80 Mile Gale
But Is Finally Battered
Until Helpless

Portland, Or, Jan. 27.-The sailing
schooner Repeat, abandoned by her
captain and crew of seven men, is to.
day wallowing helplessly in the sea off
Cape Lookout. The French bark Bay
ard, thought to have met similar
fate, is believed to be proceeding slow
ly to San Francisco, with her top gal
liant masts by the board. Not until the
steamer Avalon arrived at South Bend.
Washington last night with the Re
peat s crew was it learned that it was
not the Bayard which has been aban-
doned near Tillamook.
The Repeat left Port Ludlow, Wash.
ington, January is for San Francisco
with 100000 feet of mixed lumber.
Captain Mackenzie tells a narrowing
tale of the adventures of the little
craft in last week s storm. Friday and
Saturday the Repeat scudded under
bare poles before the 80 mile gale, her
master vainly endeavoring to bring her
into the course Of coastwse steamers.
Not until yesterday wnen the Avalon
was signalled, did the Repeat get as
sistance. Then she was leaking badly,
her rigging was torn to pieces and Cap
tain Mackenzie despaired of keeping
her off the beach
The captain has little hopes that the
cargo and personal effects of tae crew
can be saved. The tug meonta is be-
Heved to be still standing by the
wreck.

THIS IS MATTERS DAY.

This is 'Hatters day" That does
not convey any meaning to you unless
you are familiar with the history OF
Union Labor. In the earlier years af
ter the Sherman law was in force, the
corporations in several cases, notably
the contempt cases against Gompers
and other labor leaders, held that Ia.
Dor was commodity and an article
of commerce. Tne United States Su.
preme Court sustained this contention
Thus the Sherman law intended for the
protection of citizens was made a
weapon against them.
The so-called Can't Boycott Associ.
alton" brought suit against the Hat.
ters of Danbury under the Sherman
act. The Hatters fought the ease and
it was in the courts eleven years but
was finally decided against them. The
award Of damages was three fold and
the total amount was over 100000.
This fight by the Hatters led to the
adoption of the Clayton Antitrust
act, which declares that "The labor
power of human being is not 4 com.
modify or article of commerce
This judgment aaginst the Danbury
Hatters they are unable to pay, and TO-
day organized labor all over the United
States is donating the pay for one

COUNTY ASSESSOR
BEN WEST SHOWS A
RECORD OF ECONOMY
Business Of Office Increases
But Running Expenses
Show Decrease

While the average citizen is practic
ing economy and demanding lower tax
es ne requires the same economy N the
public officers and though the busi
ness of the county has been greatly in.
creased in some instances a few of the
office holders have succeeded in actual.
" reducing their running expenses.
One instance is the office of County
Assessor Ben F. West who conducted
the office of county assessor on suca a
narrow margin of overhead expenses
last year that Assessor Ben Keeney. of
Lane county, sent his chief deputy
down to Salem to find out how Marion
/ county S assessor could handle more
business than there was in Lane coun-
ty for less money.
In casting over his record as shown
by the warrants drawn and charged TO
his account Mr.. West finds that his
record will not only bear close scrutiny
but he invites the careful citizen to
scrutinize it.
In 1912, the year before Mr. West
went into office, the tax roll consisted
of 'SSS pages of 20 lines each. In 1915
the roll contained 9j2 pages of 80 lines
each, the equivalent of 9S5 pages of 20
lines to tne page. BY actual count,
there were 1854 more names on the
1915 roll than on the 1912 roll.
In spite of the increase in work in
dicated by these figures, the cost of
operating the office is shown by the
official records to have been less in
1918 than in 1912. IN 1912, the total
cost was $6,l5O.1O. At that time the
tax roll was extended by another coun.
| ty office but the legislature changed
this so that in 1913 this duty devolved
upon the county assessor. This brought
tne total expense of the assessor S Of.
flee up to $6,740.44 in 1915. Deduct
lng the amount expended for labor in
extending ate roll-which was $705-
the 1915 expense is brought lown to
IS6.035.44, or $l1466 less than in 1912.
This does not take into account con
siderable indicental expense connected
with the extension of roll amounting
probably to not Iess than $4,000 per
Iyelr
Since Mr.. West has been in office
there has been a constantly diminish
ing number of complaints to come be-
fore the board of equIizatiun. which
the assessor feels is a tribute to, and
a recognition OF, the effort that he has
made to exercise strict fairness and i'm
prtiality in assessing property. Con
trbuting to this result also. is Mr..
Vests policy or appointing men as
deputy assessors, who are recommend
ed by and satisfactory to the taXpay-
ers in the respective localities. This

CURLING IRON KILLS HAIR:
NEW METHOD IMPROVES IT
< * = y = = = 3 x x 4 * *

Many a woman loses the silky. fluffy
and brilliant appearance of her hair
through habitual use of the hot curling
iron. Certainly it can do the hair no
good to dry up its natural oil, singe the
life out of it, making it harsh, brittle
and dull. And there no excuse for
continuing the use of that destructive
instrument, now that we know what
can be accomplished by applying plain
liquid sllmerine
The use of this harmless product real
ly preserves the life, lustre and beauty
of the hair and the curly and wavy ef.
feet is perfectly natural looking and
moist captivating. If you've never
tried it, by all means procure few
ounces from your druggist and use
enough to moisten your hair from root
to tip, putting it on with a clean tooth
brush. The liquid silmerine is neither
gummy nor greasy, but quite pleasant
TO use.

King NOT GIVEN
RECOGNITION AS

Leaves When Informed His
Presence Would Prevent
Holding of Meeting

Charles E. King has been refused
recognition as q member of the board
of trustees of the Bishop Estate.
As forecast in the Star-Bulletin,
Kiag yesterday attended meeting of
the trustees The remaining trustees
declined TO give him a seat in the
meeting as one OF their number
There was no argument or discussion
over the trustees refusal. King left
the meeting after hearing the trustees
decision.
according to E. C. Peters. attorney
for King, the trustees told King that
they would not recognize him as one
OF their number. They said that the
only person recognized as trustee to
succeed Samuel M. Damon, resigned,
was William Williamson, the attorney
sdded- Williamson was nominated by
the justices OF the supreme court
% succeed Samuel Damon. Cir
cult Judge C. w. Ashford held that
the justices Of the supreme court had
no power to fill the vacancy, declined
to confirm the appointment Of Wilt
an1son and appointed King.
Kings attorney says that the trus-
tees further declared that Williamson.
would take no part in their meetings
until the matter, which is again be-
fore the supreme court. this time on
appeal from Judge Ashford's decision,
is determined
They said that they could not have
q meeting with King present, so King
withdrew" Attorney Peters concluded.
II Is expected that argument on the
trustees appeal will be had in the
supreme court within a short time.
