COMING TO
OREGON THIS YEAR

Oregon will act as host this sum-
mer to the National Editorial AS
sociation as one of the results of the
activities of the Pacific Northwest
Tourist Association. This body of
men and women is made up of the
brightest minds in the newspaper
world and the results that will ac-
crue from a publicity standpoint are
beyond all computation. During the
past two years the Tourist Associa-
tion representing Oregon, Washing
ton and British Columbia has spent
$4,000 to attract tourists to the
Pacific Northwest and the results
have been far beyond expectation
when war conditions are taken into
consideration. That Oregon has re-
ceived the greater benefit over the
other commonwealths is evident in
the attendance at Crater Lake. There
are II National Parks in the United
States and all but two showed a de-
crease in attendance except Crater
Lake and Rainier National. Crater
Lake showed an increase of between
25 to 40 per cent and nearly $4,000
people visited Rainier National while
all other parts of the Pacific North
west were included in the various
phases of publicity.
The total expenditure of the
tourists and vacation seeker per an
mum is not less than One, Billion
Dollars and it is to secure our fair
share of this immense revenue that
this association exists.
1t is safe to say that within a very
short time the Pacific Northwest

figures derive from Fifty to
One Hundred Million Dollars of

good laws.
The bills to build state political
machines are before the legislature,
one that all state work shall be done
only by state employees, a regular
force to be built up and permanently
employed. The state civil service
bill. championed by Bishop Summer
of Portland, would make all state
employees permanent. They would
be in for life and pension system
is a part of the program.
The House passed an important
bill to exempt moneys, notes and ac-
counts from taxation to make 1t
easier to get capital into Oregon.
With railroads under government
operation and most of the utility
corporations fighting for their ex-
istence the only remaining subject
t. legislative attack is insurance
companies. So a grist of bills has
appeared which If all enacted Will
make it hard for some smaller in
surance companies to exist in the
state. Oregon has but one successful
fire insurance company that actually
paid its first divident this year. To
enact all proposed laws means to
keep capital out of insurance bus
mess in Oregon and insurance funds
out of the state.
Four woman bills are championed
by the only woman in the Assembly
Mrs. Thompson of Hood River. They
are bills to raise the age of major
ity for women to IS years, married
or single the Domestic Relations
court for Portland only; requiring
women to perform jury duty the
same as men and to be drawn on
juries the same as men, and the
teachers minimum salary bill. The
latter is drawing some opposition
Many small country schools that
would have an eight months school
at fifty dollars a month for teacher
would have less than six months
school at the minimum of SIS a
month. The demand for this comes
from city teachers, but the bill is one
of a group of school laws that are
ground out each session raising
school taxes.

code, that comes up every five or ter
years at a cost of from $4,000 tC
$4,000, is again before the session

Travel by rail was discouraged
last year and as far going abroad is
concerned there will be nothing
doing this year. The war is over
and the people have the money and
desire to travel. We have so far
expended $4,000, to attract atten-

work to secure returns based on
this expenditure far beyond the de-
sires of the most avaricious. To

Representative Burdick of Bend
is leading the fight for higher
salaries for Judges of the Supreme
court Of course, with that would
go a great many other salary raises
The Burdick bill proposes to raise
the seven judges from $4,000 year
to $4,000 and claims Oregon pays
smaller salaries than any state in the
nation. The facts show we have
more judges and pay more pei
capita for the judiciary than any
state In proportion to wealth and
population. Never has Judge re
signed because he could make more
in private practice. The appropria
tions for the judiciary asked at this
session total $494,536. Fees earned

Is to be added costing about $4,000

Asks Damages from
 Arkansas ShOrtleaf

Suit for $3,160' was filed against the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber company yesterday by Roy Leitner, a minor, thru his next friend, Ike Leitner. Suit is based on an accident at the intersection of Walnut and Second, on June 27, when a truck owned by the defendant company, collided with the bicycle on which Roy Leitner was riding. The com plaint states he sustained the frac- ture of two bones in his left foot, and other severe injuries. Reimburse ment for medical attention, crutches and an x-ray picture, amounting to $135, is asked. Three thousand is asked as damages, and $25 for the bicycle.
 Late in 1917 the Missouri Pacific Railway company, constructed a switch thru property owned by the Pine Bluff Compress and Warehouse company, and near the company's plant.

New York, Sept. 13.-Announce- ment was made at the headquarters offices of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, in this city, to- day, that special invitations were to be issued immediately to business men of the South, through conner cial secretaries of the various com munities, asking business leaders to attend the annual world convention of advertising, to be held in New Or leans, Sept. 21 to 25.
 "The South," said P. s. Florea, executive manager of the advertising association, "should take full advan- tage of this convention, for it is being held in the South for the speci- fife purpose of giving southern busi- ness men opportunity to attend, and thereby improve their advertising and selling methods. By holding our meetings in various sections of the country from year to year, we are able to bring them within the reach of every enterprising business man who realizes the great importance of his advertising"
 Business men of the South will be admitted to the New Orleans conven- tion without regard to holding mem. bership in the advertising associs. ton. MT. Florea said, for the adver- Using organization is an educational institution.

THE MAKING OF A FAMOUS
 MEDICINE:
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's s ills.
 Over $50, ,000. pounds of various herbs are used annually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best.
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles.
 It is the wonderful coml ination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in it's preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound which we are continually pub. fishing attest to it's virtue.

LOCAL FOOTBALL WILL START HERE MONDAY;
 MAY PLAY MEMPHIS
Full Schedule of Eight Games is Being Ar
 ranged.

Candidates for the 1919 football team of the Pine Bluff High school will report at the Athletic field to- morrow afternoon, Coach l.. E. Bas- sett announced yesterday. Between 50 and 70 candidates are expected.
 The local high school gridders are expected to play eight games this season, including the annual game with Little Rock High school, which in all probability will be played at Little Rock, and game in Pine Bluff with the Central High schoo; team of Memphis. Coach Bassett said yesterday that arrangements for the schedule are now being made. The first game will be played here the first Saturday in October. The "flu" epidemic last year interrupted the scheduled games and but three were played, but with any sort of luck this year, the full schedule will be played.
 Nine of the regulars who played the short 1918 schedule have returned. They include Walter Sorrells, 1918 captain; Collins, Clark. Boone, Wynn c. Wynn, Harper, Puddephatt, Lind say and Terrell. This it is believed forms the nucleus for a good aggre- gation, regardless of what last years second team prospects and new stud ents will produce. The team also probably will be unusually heavy for a high school team.

POLICE AID SERVICE MEN.

Washington, Sept. 13.-As a result of a letter to all the police chiefs in the United States, Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war, has added many thousand men to his field forces who are finding positions for returned fighting men. Gratifying responses have been re- ceived from all sections of the coun- try. The assistance and cooperation of policemen generally is now prom ised, in order to help place the few soldiers yet to be demobilized as well as the scattering number who have not yet satisfactorily readjusted themselves in civil life.
