MIR. AND MRS. STOLz
BACK FROM CALIFORNIA

Mr.. and Mrs. Gideon Stolz re-
turned yesterday from visit OF
six weeks in California, visiting
several cities between San Fran
cisco and San Diego, and even
taking in the races across the
Mexican border. However, one
day among the Mexicans was
enough, Mr Stolz said.
The weather was fine down
south. Mr.. Stolz said, until the
last week in November, and
then he ran into some pretty
rainy weather In San Diego it
was chiV1 with fogs and wind.
While the traveller looks ON
business conditions from the out
side, Mr. Stolz said he noticed a
wonderful amount Of building In
both San Francisco and Los An
geles, and in fact. In most Of the
southern California towns. Hence
business looked prosperous.
But with the system in vogue
In Hollywood and other parts OF
Los Angeles OF heating houses BY
gas, Mr.. Stolz said he was glad
to return to Oregon where they
have real fireplaces and breathe
fine Oregon air, instead OF the |
houses where heat was only from
gas stoves and gas radiators.

oregon KNOWN
FOR PAPER AND
WOCGENS IN EAST

Oregon is known on the Allan
tic coast principally for its paper
mills and through the advertising
Of manufacturers OF wooIen goods
located at Oregon city. according
to Judge Thomas r. Ryan OF ore
gon City, who has just returned
from an extended visit in the east.
The advertisements referred to
that made Oregon known in the
east were published in the Satur-
day Post. he said.
California apples are better
known than Hood River apples.
In fact, the only apples he noticed
during his several weeks in the
east we're from Wenatchee and
those labeled as from California.
In Washington city. WenatcheeI
apples were selling on fruit stands
for 15 cents each. Wenatchee ap-
pies are now being advertised
throughout the east.
Very few people back east are
well informed on Oregon or Ore
gon politics, he said. For instance,
many he met had heard OF the
compulsory school bill, and few
were Of the opinion that manyl
books were to be withdrawn from
the public schools.
Moving picture prices are high
all through the east. Judge Ryan,
said that after crossing the Mis-
sissippi river, so cents was the
usual charge for the best movies.
In New York city he paid s2.25
to see Robin Hood as produced
by Douglas Fairbanks and $3.50
for first class theatrical entertain
ments.
People eat more and longer in
the east than we do here. The
average luncheon cost is s1.S5 and I
men linger longer over
the luncheon table than is Gus
tomary in the west, the Judge
said.
He heard very little prohibition
ak, and was inclined to think !.
hat people were eating more and J,
less. In fact, 1t appears !

G. s. Hamilton. Of the Hamilton
furniture store. Is home from 1
visit OF six weeks in the east. spent
principally in visiting the leading
furniture markets and a short star
at his former home in Eureka
Kansas.
The people in that part OF the
country are becoming interested
in Oregon and many Inquiries
were made regarding the proposed
1925 exposition. Mr.. Hamilton
found many friends who were al
ready planning to visit Oregon
that year to look into the chances
Of locating in the state.
Business conditions in Kansas.

rado were just fair and not quit
up to merchants expectations

Mr.. Hamilton then had the
pleasure Of informing his train ac-
Iuaintance that Holyerson had
been in the dry goods business in
Salem, and as for that man Hamil-
on, he was talking to the very
anne person that headed for the
vest 32 years ago.
Prices OF furniture are lower
low than they will be in the near

Or. Claxton Speaks
 on Pressing Needs of
 Alabama Uniuersity

Dr. P. P. Claxton, provost of the University of Alabama, was the prln- cipal speaker at the regular weekly meeting of the Civic Forum, held yesterday at the Tutwller hotel.
 Dr. Claxton, who spoke on "Our State University" briefly reviewed the history of education from the time of the Roman empire to the growth of the University or Ala bama and the pressing need Of funus to carry out the necessary develop ment of the institution to meet its growing needs.
 Dr. Claxton then compared the University of Alabama with those of other states with the same popula- tion and also reviewed the growth of the university. Tn 1902 there were approximately 200 students, 1912 found an enrolment of 300, and 1922 approximately 2,o00," said Dr. Clax- ton.
 These students are studying and living in cramped quarters, and in asking the people of Alabama to help relieve these conditions by subscrib- ing to the million dollar drive, we only ask for what will be returned to them hundredfold. Every dollar that is invested in an institution of learning Is never lost but multiplies itself directly and indirectly to the better advantage of the city and state"
