WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS.
Patented Process is Responsible fOI
Its International Popularity.

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that this
one brand could be so different from
all others.
The answer to this question is to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: Process patented July
80, 1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by a patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men of every taste of every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and for
tune in money to perfect. But the
result has proven to be worth all that
was expended upon it, because it has
set free men who believed they never
could enjoy a pipe or makin's cigar
ette.
Prince Albert makes it possible fol
every man to smoke pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert
can not bite or parch. That is cut
out by the patented process, leaving
for the smoker only the joys of the
fragrant tobacco.
It is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived" just about six years ago
1t has made three men smoke pipes
where one smoked a pipe before!

Swiss Rave Over
Ashland Scenery

Mr.. and Mrs. Nagel, manager OF
the Oberammergauer peasant players
who appeared at the Vining Theatre
Sunday evening, simply "raved" over
the Ashland scenery. These people
were born and raised in Switzerland,
in the Alps, and told Manager Berg
ener that the scenery around Ashland
was almost idestical with their home
surroundings. They spent the whole
day Sunday in Ashland canyon and
on the hills, and Mrs. Nagel told Mr..
Bergener that they only wished they
could stay several weeks here. The
scenery, the parks and the indefin-
able, balmy, lifegiving "air," as they
described it, made Ashland seem like
home to them.

San Diego Fair
Uninjured BY Rain

Recent rains along the Pacific
coast and the breaking of the Otay
dam near San Diego caused reports
to be current throughout the United
States that the 1916 International
Exposition had been damaged and
that San Diego was suffering. The
exposition was helped instead of be-
ing harmed by the rains and the dam
age to the city of San Diego was such
as would come to any city by reason
of loss in nearby localities. Railway
transportation to Los Angeles was in
terrupted for several weeks, but daily
boat service cared for passengers and
freight. President G. A. Davidson Of
the exposition issued a statement to
offset the exaggerated reports.

Spokane Mining
Men Plan Show

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 2S.-Spo-
kane mining men are making exten-
sive plans for the annual Northwest
Mining Convention which will be held
here March 20 to 25, under auspices
Of the Mining Mems Club, Spokane
Engineering and Technical Associa-
tion and Chamber OF Commerce.
In connection with the sessions the
second annual ore show will be held.
This, according to l.. X. Armstrong,
chairman of the arrangements COM
mittee, will include exhibits not only
Of the well-known ores but also of the
rare minerals, to commercialize which
an earnest effort will be made.
"The first two days of the week
will be devoted to placing the ore dis
plays" states Mr. Armstrong, "and
the remainder of the week will be
given over entirely to discussion of
the problems confronting the north
western mining industry. These top
ice concern the technical as we'll as
the practical side of mining. We
shall give the prospectors the fullest
hearing, and, in addition, representa-
tives of the mining, civil and electrf-
cal engineering societies will discuss
problems of interest to the mining
fraternity. All papers will be popu-
arized as much as possible.
Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, British Columbia, Alberta,
Alaska and Yukon territory will be
representated by delegates and ore
displays. Delegates also will be pres
ent from California, Utah, Colorado
and other western states.
Arrangements have been made to
provide space for the display of ores,
maps, mine models, literature, pho
tographs and other exhibits of inter-
est to mining experts. People will
classify the unknown specimens and
suggest methods of treating, market
ing and mining the deposits. No
charge will be made for this service.
"Prospectors, operators, technical
men and promoters will be here.
Scouts of the big mining interests
will be on the ground, looking for
promising mines. The small capital
lists will be here seeking small, par
TALLY developed properties"

Fewer Accidents
Mean Less Loss

Since the State Industrial Accident
Commission announced last July that
rate of per cent had been made
for general farming, and that appli-
cation from farmers for the protec-
tion of the compensation act would
be accepted, several farmers have TAX
en- advantage of the act and more
farmers are coming in each day.
Those farmers as well as all other
employers working under the act,
who have a good accident experience
for the year, requiring the commits
sion to pay out for accidents to their
workmen not to exceed so per cent of
that employers contribution, will be
granted a reduction in their rate of
10 per cent. This will bring the
farmers rate down to $3.50 on each
500 of payroll. For those whose
accident experience is as good for the
second year, will receive a second re-
duction of 10 per cent in their rate
on July /, 1917 bringing the rate
down to $1.60 on each 500 of pay
roll These reductions are in addi-
tion to exemptions.
The rate for those farmers paying
per cent this year is, therefore, af-
ter deduoting two months exemp-
tions oneJsixth of the entire year,
$1.67 for each 800 Of payroll. At
ter July 1, 1916, those that earn 10
per cent reduction will pay only
$1.50, and one year later this should
be reduced to $1S5, very low rate
indeed, provided the same monthly
exemptions are then possible
The state contributes sufficient
money to the fund to pay all expenses
of administering the fund, therefore
every dollar paid by employers and
workmen is available to be paid back
to injured workmen for hospital and
medical attention and for time lost
The rate the employers pay bears
direct ratio to the number of acci-
dents. BY reducing the number OF
accidents the rate paid will be re-
duced, and the commission is endeav-
oring to gain the cooperation of the
workmen and employers Of Oregon
in a campaign to reduce the number
of accidents.

Vining Movies For
Next Three Days
Tuesday.

Tuesday evening only, Blanche
Sweet appears at the Vining in Par
amount feature, "The Secret Sin"
In a career that has been remark
able from every point of view, Miss
Blanche Sweet now approaches the
height of her powers as photoplay
star. Nothing she has done previ-
ously on the screen is marked with
so much artistry, grace and finish as
her performance of twin sisters" in
the production, "The Secret SIM" by
Margaret Turnbull.
In this photoplay we have the COM
bination of a great star and great
play. "The Secret Sin" is a bitter
pronouncement against the drug evil
and the trade in opium against which
the United States government for
years has waged an unceasing battle.
With all the skill of the Lasky ar
tistic forces centered on this photo
play, "The Secret Sin" from the view
point of photography, attention to
minute detail and sheer sincerity will
take its place with the masterpieces
of the screen. AS Miss Sweet appears
as twins there are episodes in the
play when she appears in two charac-
ters simultaneously.
Wednesday.
Wednesday evening is another
Triangle" night at the Vining. Two
features are billed for this night-a
Griffith play, "The Lamb" and an
uproarious Triangle farce, my
Valet"
Douglas Fairbanks celebrated
character of the Lamb will be seen in
the wilds of northwestern Mexico in
the Triangle picture drama. In this
five-part drama the Lamb is exiled
to the western wilds by the coldness
of his sweetheart. He is more than
match for his Indian foes and
emerges out of the struggle with
credit to his red-blooded American
ism. 1t goes without saying that on
his return to civilization his sweet
heart changes her mind and answers
Eyes"
"My Va'et" is a real farce-comedy,
not the slapstick kind, but real hui
NOR. It is a scream from start to
finish and rounds out a seven-reel
evening which is bound to add to the
popularity of Triangle films in Ash
land.
Thursday.
On Thursday evening comes a
great William Fox production star
ring William Farnum in "The Plum
derer." The great screen artist is
at his best in this play, mining
story laid in the Occur D'Alene
range. The most heart-quickening
breath-catching fist fight ever filmed
is a feature of the play. In it Far
nun bests a crowd of enraged miners
in a thoroughly realistic manner.

Did as He Was Told.

One evening, just as it was getting
dusk. a 1aborer walked down the main
street Of the city. Coming to poultry
dealers place, he stopped and gazed
admiring1y at the fowls and game dis
played on the window slab. One tur-
key of about fifteen pounds weight
took his fancy. After running his
fingers through the coins in his trou-
sers pockets a few times he decided
on having that turkey. Picking it up
he entered the shop. The shopman was
very busy "Jest weigh this bird for
me, viii yer said he. "FWhy don't
you take your bird somewhere else to
be wetghed?'' snappily replied the
pou1terer without looking up. ooh,
kin do that all right" he replied, cheer
fully picking the bird up and walking
out with it.-LOndon Tit-Bits.
