PORTLAND FAIR BILL
is NOT AFFECTED

The constitutional amendment allow
ing Portland to- tax itself So, 600, 0OO
over period of three years will not be
affected in any way by the decision of
the exposition committee last Friday
to postpone the 1925 exposition to 1927.
The enabling measure. which must
be voted on by voters of the state pro-
vides for holding of an exposition in
1925 "or as soon thereafter as possi-
ble." The state measure merely au-
thorizes Portland to tax itself for the
exposition, the managing committee
points out. No tax is provided outside
of Portland.
Decision to postpone the exposition
was unanimous after careful considera-
tion and debate. Committeeman felt
that more time was necessary in which
to raise the ST, 900. 900 by private sub
scription and prepare grounds and
buildings.
In the city of Portland the measure
on the ballot will provide for tax of
$3, 600, 600 to be raised on a basis of
81, 900, 900 each year for three years,
the first levy to be made after private
subscribers have raised fund of ST.
600, 900 as a stock subscription.
An intensive Oregon advertising
campaign will be started after the
election, if the amendment is passed.
the managing committee decided. The
attractions and opportunities of every
section of Oregon will be heralded to
the world in a campaign which will
continue until 1927.

SCHOOL TAX
TO BE LESS
EXPENDITURE WILL BE 81, 900 MORE
Levy Will Be Cut Two Mills, Probably a
Third Mill by Including New
Assessed Valuation

While the budget Of School District
No. 3, comprised of the city and sur
rounding rural community, calls for an
expenditure of $93, 600 the coming
year, a thousand greater than last
year, the total tax to be raised will be
Sc, 600 less than last year, and $l1, 900
of this sum will be applied to reducing
bonded indebtedness.
The city school tax levy will be re-
duced from 27.l to rs mills. During
the past year the district bounds have
been extended to include a defunct
school district between the city and
the Wasco county line, and it is antici-
pated that the increase of the assessed
valuation will operate to decrease the
millage levy another mill.
The new budget also provides for an
addition of two new teachers to the
city faculty, one at the Park Street
grade school and the other at tho high
school.
The members of the budget commit
tee, who last Friday met with Superin-
tendent Cannon and District Clerk

0LDFASHI0NED PARTY
ELABORATE AFFAIR

The most elaborate social affair ever
Gorge Hotel occurred Wednesday after
noon of last week when Mrs. F. A.
Cram and Mrs. William Stewart, were
hostesses at an oldfashioned party.
Seventy-five guests were present, and
all were uniquely dressed in handsome
ly made oldfashioned gowns. Mrs.
Emma E. Epping and Mrs. l. S. Ben
nett won plaudits for the richness of
their costumes. Attic and storage
trunks of the valley were ransacked
for heirlooms, and safety deposit
vaults gave up a treasure of old jew
elry for the occasion.
The hostesses both wore wonderful
creations, made in the fashion of many
years ago. Mrs. Grams gown was
lavender, while that of Mrs. Stewart
was yellow. An interesting program
was rendered. Mrs. G. o. Huelat
sang "Sweet Evelina"; Mrs. A. S.
Keir rendered, my Grandfather IS

gram we're: Mrs. J. E. Ferguson, a

dining room a grand march was rem
dered by Mrs. Geo. r. Wilbur on the
piano.
The menu was oldfashioned, and the
dinner was served in keeping with old
fashioned customs. Twelve huge
cakes, of assorted kinds, were ar
ranged on the table on pedestaled
plates. The celery stood in vases like
flowers. Even salt rising bread was
served.
Following the dinner the women
were each given material for making
the block of a quilt. A prize was an
nounced for the best sewing. 1t was
decided, however, that choice of the
quilt pieces would be too difficult, and
the women drew for the prize. 1t fell
to Mrs. r. B. Perigo to draw the win
ming number, number 13.
The large parlors and the dining
room were profusely decorated with
autumn leaves and flowers so dear to
grandmother time and as the guests
led by their two hostesses filed into
the banquet hall to the strains of The
Dream March they beheld a scene so
unusual and so attractive that it will
not soon be forgotten.

RUGGLES DAHLIAS
FORM ATTRACTION

Although their gardens, covering
several city lots, are off the main city
thoroughfares, the fame of the dahliai
grown by Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Ruggles
has caused scores Of city folk to jour
ney to their home this fall. Many
people escort their visitors to the
dahlia. gardens, which have become one
of the towns attractions.
The point has been reached where
dinner parties and. other functions are
not considered complete without bou-
quet of the magnificent blooms pro-
duced by the couple, who evidence a
sincere pride in their more than 100
varieties. When notables visit Hood
River, they are not only presented
with Hood River apples, but it is also
considered proper TO SAY it with flow
ers" from the Ruggles gardens.
Mr.. Ruggles began his garden with
limited number of varieties. bat the
collection has grown to the point
where it was necessary for him to buy
several vacant lots adjoining his home,
and now those are all glory of color
with dahlia blooms. Mr.. Ruggles
grows dahlias as an amateur and not
as a professional. Annually, however,
he sells limited quantities of blooms
and bulbs and thus in a measure makes
his hobby self supporting. The fame
Of his flowers have spread to several
Pacific Coast states, and florists fire.

beautiful pink flowers and the quality

variety that is pure white. The new
flower. secured by cutting a bud shoot
from the mother bulb, is larger than
most white varieties now grown by
fanciers, and the purity of its white

experts who have seen the new blooms
express the belief that Mr.. Ruggles
has developed a plant that will become
famous.

DIR. THRANE URGES
CONVENTION CITY

DIR. M. Thrane at a meeting of the
Tuesday Lunch Club at the Pheasant
Tuesday initiated a movement TO make
Hood River convention city. DIR.
Thrane said that the Apple City should
make bid for many of the numerous
state conventions, attended by limited
delegates. He declared that the ho-
tells could accommodate 500 guests and
that like number could be bivouaced
in private homes.
If plans suggested by G. c. Ander-
son materialize, the city automobile
park, for which charge Of so cents
per automobile per night has been
made the past summer, will be
equipped with features of entertain
ment for children and adults.
Mr.. Anderson stated that he and his
wife on recent trip through southern
Oregon and California, made study
of automobile camping parks. He ex-
pressed high praise for a park at
Grants Pass. The motoring public
who use camping parks, and some of
them people of means, Mr.. Anderson
said, are not unwilling to pay for the
privilege Of using an auto camp, but
they want something for their money.
We need to make our park here more
attractive.
Charles H. Castner, president Of the
lunch club, stated that $500 automo-
biles had registered here during the
past summer.
The club took action to revive a
movement for a community hospital
here. A year ago the clubs agitations
resulted in the donation of an East
Side orchard place by Miss A. M.
Spring, philanthropic woman of Cor
onado. Calf, who spends the summer
months here looking after orchard
property. The property was sold by
+. o. Blanchar, who was made trustee
of the hospital fund, for S5, 900.
BY vote of the members Tuesday the
lunch club asked for a report of the
hospital committee and revival of in
terest in the matter.
r. B. PerigO, newly nominated for
the Office Of mayor, was called on for
talk. Clayton 0ehler, Portland fnan-
cial man, guest of w. A. Cass, was
present for the meeting.
DR.. Thrane suggested that the wom-
en- of the city should have a ladies'

APPLE SHIPMENTS
ON THE INCREASE

While apple shipments up to last
Saturday night had reached but 80
cars, they began to roll in heavier vol
ume Monday, and the average ship
ments for the week were expected to
exceed 10 cars daily The cooperative
agency up to Saturday night had
shipped l9 cars of apples, and its move
ment of pears had reached so cars.
Intermittent rains the first of last
week seriously hsmpered picking
Friday was the first clear day, and it
was estimated that It's. 600 boxes were
picked that day. The harvest reached
its height this week.
The first annoyance from a car short
age was noted last Friday when the
Apple Growers Association ordered
four cars for loading on the Mt Hood
rail line, and but one was received.
Shippers say that a certain refriger-
ator shortage is impending. and that
box cars will have to be Tesorted to
freely.

FIRST PEARS TO BE
SENT FROM PORTLAND

The Davidson Fruit Co. will load
aboard the steamer Gothic Star, sched-
uled to sail from Portland to day the
first shipment of pears ever dispatched
directly from Portland to Europe by an
all water route. The pears, of assorted
varieties, will be shipped in the way
of an experiment. If the pears hold
up well. it is anticipated that heavy
shipments of this fruit will be made
by all water route next year.
News of the reduction of trans At
Iantic freight rates from 40 to 35 cents
has not created any great interest
here. While this reduction will make
it possible for Yakima and Wenatchee
to ship apples across the continent and
then reship by water to Europe cheap.
er than to ship by an all water route
from Portland and Seattle. the low
freight from here to Portland still
makes the all water route more attrac.
tive to Hood River shippers.
The first Hood River apples will
move to export from Portland on the
Gothic Star today. The Apple Grow.
ers Association will have 200 boxes
aboard. and a similar amount will be
loaded by Dan Wuille & Co.
I'VE expect to ship about IT'S. 900
boxes of apple by the all water route
from Portland this year." says Walter
Woolpert, of Dan Wuille & Co. ''We
will load cargoes on boats due to sail
the latter part of the month. and from
then on we expect sailings every two
weeks"
P. f. Clark. sales manager of the
Apple Growers Association, says he
does not know definitely what quantity
of apples will be shipped by water by
the Association. The tonnage is ex-
pected to exceed that of last season.
Indeed, it is anticipated that 1000, 600
boxes of apples will be loaded at the
Port of Portland.

Business Women to Attend Council

Failure to find woman who was
sufficiently experienced in business de-
tails who would consent to become
candidate, the Business and Profess
sional Women's Club cancelled plans
for running woman for the city coun-
Gil.
"You may be sure, however, said
Miss May Davidson, president of the
organization, "that we are going to
take an active part IN the city govern
ment, and it is likely that we will have
candidates at the next election. From
now on members of our organization
are going to be present at all sessions
of the city council. in order that we
may become familiar with details Of
the methods Of handling city busi-
ness.''

discussing the new picture. "a girl

money could do or buy anything, would
naturally have sharp struggle with
herself to resist the temptation 10
right a wrong she had done by the
paying of hush money
The fact that the girl does decide
to assume her moral responsibility

great change takes place in her inner
