12 THP MORXIXO OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1910. BOY RUNS BEFORE IS KILLED Ernest Ulin, Nine Years Old, Mangled on Track, of United Railways. ACCIDENT HELD OWN FAULT Warned by Playmate of Approach of Car, He Misjudges Time and Is Caught I'nder Wheels. ' Motorman Held Blameless. . While engragred In a- boyish romp on the street with one of his schoolmates Just after the Chapman School was out yesterday afternoon, Ernest din, a 9-year-old pupil, whose parents live at 693 Wilson street, was knocked down and grround Into a lifeless mass by a car on the United Railways line in charge of Motorman H. E. Smith, at Twenty-second and Roosevelt streets.' The boy's body was wedged under the forward trucks of the car and mangled so shockingly that almost very bone was fractured. His skull .and face wore mashed into pulp. The tragedy was witnessed by a large number of people, who say it was an unavoidable accident and hold the motorman blameless. The little fel low was dashed under the wheels. It is said, through his own recklessness. Ac companied by Jalmer Johnson, a schoolmate, who lived near by at the corner of Blackstone and Roosevelt streets, the Ulin boy was on his way home, and . as they turned south on Roosevelt street they started a game of tag. AYarniiig of No Avail. At the corner of Twenty-second street they both saw the oncoming car. It had stopped at the corner below and had not yet gained very great mo mentum. Jalmer warned Ernest of the approach of the car. Ernest stopped, and then, evidently, believing he could beat the car, darted directly in front- of It. He miscalculated the distance and the speed, and in the fraction of a sec ond was crushed. Motorman Smith, who threw on the emergency brakes the moment he saw the little fellow make his dash across the street, succeeded in bringing his car to a standstill within 57 feet. The sudden application of the emergency brakes threw the passengers out of their seats. This, followed by the an nouncement of the killing of the boy, caused much excitement. Body Closely Wedged In. The car had to be raised by jacks in order to get the body free. Deputy Coroner J. J. Dunning was notified and hurried to the scene, where he institut ed an immediate Investigation and took charge of the remains. After making extensive inquiries, he announced that, so far as he was able to determine, the death of the boy had been purely acci dental, but that an official inquest would be held at 4:30 o'clock today. On the front platform of the car with Motorman Smith stood J. L. Donner, master mechanic of the road. Mr. Donner said: "The car 'was coming along at a moderate rate of speed when the ac cident happened. The boy darted out ahead of us so rapidly' it would have been impossible for Motorman Smith to bav acted any quicker or to have done anything to have prevented the tragedy." This statement of the case was borne out by if. Churchill, a resident of St. John, who was seated next to the window and was looking out at the time. Willie Farr and Eugene Simon, two school boys of about Ernest's age who were coming along the street behind Ernest and Jalmer said they heard Jalmer call to Ernest in Norwegian, their native tongue, warning him not to try to pass In front of the car. Officials Clear Motorman. Patrolman Gill was summoned and noti fied the dead boy's father, who is an employe of the Eastern & Western Lum ber Company. The victim of the tragedy was the only child and" the news of his tragic end prostrated both his parents. Motorman Smith was also greatly shocked toy the accident. He had to be reHeved from duty and sent to his home at Twenty-third and Thurman streets. L. B. Wickersham. the manager of the company, and G. C. Morris, the superin tendent, made an immediate investiga tion to ascertain . whether Motorman Smith was to blame. Mr. Wickersham said last night: "After examining all the witnesses, I feel that Smith did every thing in his power to avert this tragedy end is in no way to blame for it. He has a clean record with us as well as with the Southern Pacific Company, with which he had been a locomotive- engineer for years. Hs is a man of long experi ence and this is his first accident." Jalmer Johnson, the dead boy's play mate, said: "I called to him to stop. He saw the car and knew it was coming but he thought he could get over the track before it. I suppose." PRICE HIGHEST0N RECORD Quarter Block In Warehouse District Sells for $30,000. Joseph H. Johnston yesterday, com pleted the sale of a quarter block a the southwest corner of Fifteenth and Johnson streets to John Kiernan for $30,000 net. The property is improved with a modern residence occupied by the owner. Lr. W. A. Wise, and is diag onally across the street from the Marshall-Wells double block, where the largest-warehouse on the Pacific Coast will be erected. This is the highest price paid In the vicinity for trackage property, and shows that investors have great faith In the future of North Portland. Mr. Johnston acted " In conjunction with Murphy & Caswell in the deal, and had only one day remaining on his contract. It is understood another firm was ready to make deposit as soon as the con tract expired. WASTE IN DISTRIBUTION Thin Cause Blamed Chiefly for High-Priced Food. Ktc. PORTLAND, Feb. JA. (To the Editor.) I have often read editorials and communi cations in The Oreiconian. explaining the high cost of living as due t extravagance, that we have attained a higher standard of living which demands luxuries; that the high cost of living is the cost of living high and that If we wlphed to reduce the cost of living, we must return to the simple life Who are the extravagant persons, may I ask? Are they the laboring men, attired In tlue overalls. -working ten hours a day for supporting a family, paying from $10 to $"J0 per month house Tent? Can they le found among the mechanics whose wages average from S3 to a day, whose wives ' must plan and economise In order to make that sum buy food and clothing and other csalUea for tba family, and, if possible. GAR i save toward owning their own h not the same condition exist an home? Does mong many or tne other wage-earners? To me It appears that the most lavish expenditures, coupled with the greatest ex travagance, la committed by those engaged in the distribution of food, clothing, fur niture and other necessities ami so-called luxuries, etc. The costly displays, the high salaried agents, managers, the luxuriously equipped stores, the expensive delivery sys tem; and "other lavish expenditures. too numerous to mention. Add to these the exorbitant profits which store people de mand and we hare one of the chief canses for the high cost of living. Notice store proprietors rapid advance in wealth; how they start in obscure quarters and in a short time blossom out in magnificent struc tures, employing a thousand persons, owning gigantic warehouses, costly stables, and liv ing in the height of fashion. - What does this represent but the accumulation ' of ex orbitant and unreasonable profits ? My opinion Is that the standard of living has not risen since the last period of low prices. In fact, how could the standard of living rise when the cost of living has risen more than 100 per cent since that period and the wages only 5 to 25 per cent higher since the same time? - It is a well-known fact that modern inventions, discoveries, arts. Fciences and skill have enabled us to manu facture cheap every kind of an article that may administer to our welfare, and happi ness. It is folty to speak of these things as luxuries. There are plenty of these things for every industrious person. The diffi culty Is that the people have permitted the creation of an expensive system of distri bution, have tolerated, monopolies, and have produced millionaires. Perhap? we ought to use the tlnderbox instead of matches, flick ering candles instead of gas and electric lights. A piano is a luxury. It Is said, bat does not the cost of its manufacture sink out of sight when compared with the retail dealers' high price? More Industry and less extravagance ap plies with equal force to this class of non producers. Scores of retailers should be in the ranks of the producers, or leading the "simple" life on the farm. Housekeepers should. buy large quantities at a time. Every family should be able to purchase sufficient supplies in the Fall to provide for the en tire Winter and Spring.. Supplies may be secured from the farmer at that time for less than half the grocer's price. Many wage-earning men would be glad to to to the farms, despite the fact that there are no nickelodeons or theaters in such vicin ities. But because of comparatively smalt wages and the large prices which they are forced o pay for the necessities of life, they are not able financially to secure a farm. W. H. O. PARK READY FOR ROSES CEREMOXV OF PLANTING DAY WILL BE ELABORATE. " Ceremony : Will Have International Significance, Foreign Repre sentatives Taking Part. The official programme for the annual Rose Planting day to be celebrated a week from tomorrow (Washington's1 birthday) will be ready in a day or two. This year the- rose planting will ' have international importance from the fact that numerous nations among the great powers have already brought from their native heath rose bushes of native cul ture as gifts' to Portland in honor of this yearly event. The consuls or commercial agents of the various, nations will have charge of the planting exercises so far as their own offerings are concerned and in each case the participation has been authorized by the foreign office of the country which -has its accredited repre sentative here. Officers of the Rose Society and Rose Festival met yesterday to arrange some of the details of the day's programme. So far it has been decided that the plant ing ceremony to which the entire city is to be invited, especially the children will take place at 2:30 o'clock on the afternoon of February 22, in a spot in City Park which has already been prepared for the- reception of the roses. Superin tendent Mische has notified the Rose So ciety that the ground will be In ex cellent shape. Some timer- ago Secretary of Agricul ture James Wilson said he would send an official representative here and, he was again reminded of his promise yesterday by telegraph. Governor Benson will rep resent the commonwealth of Oregon and Mayor Simon has consented to be on hand and accept the native roses from the different nations from the consular representatives. Just how much of a procession and parade there will be on that day has not been determined but the state, city and other officials, as well as the Rose Festi val and Rose Society officers will gather at the-Oregon Hotel at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon and proceed in automobiles to City Park. A plan is on foot but not yet com pleted to have, a small boy and girl of each nationt which has contributed roses for the celebration to assist the official representative in planting the bushes. It Is hopad to secure the little folk through the assistance of the consuls. At the spot where Jhe native rose of each country is planted the flag of that country will be raised and at the moment the first spadeful of earth is turned for the rose the national air of the country will be played by the band. N. P. ADVERTISES ROSE SHOW First Railroad to Boom Portland's Great Festival Systematically. First among the great railroad systems of the country actively to advertise Port land's fourth annual Rose Festival, June 6 to 11 next, is the Northern Pacific. The passenger department of this road has just caused to be printed several thousand letter-inclosures telling of the many attractive features of the coming rose show in this city. These leaflets have been distributed among the agents of this railroad system with Instructions that one be enclosed in every letter that is mailed. On one side of the enclosure is printed a collection of Oregon-grown roses to gether with a view of a rose-decorated automobile which appeared in the annual exhibition last year. On the other side of the same leaflet is printed In concise form a statement of the many attractions for. which Portland's Rose Festival has become famed. This same statement also Includes a reference to the many points of interest which are to be seen and visited in close proximity to Portland, the original "Rose City." ' This is. only one of the many plans that have been adopted by "the different railroad systems for giving the 1910 carnival of roses the necessary publicity which assures an increased attendance of Eastern visitors. $3,000,000 BUYS TIMBER Sale by S. Benson to Easterners of 2 7,000 Acres Is Reported. Reports of the sale of 27,000 acres of timber lands in Columbia County by - S. Benson for a consideration of $3,000,000 are current in Portland, but Mr. Benson is now In California and the reputed buyers, yesterday, would not talk about the transaction. It Is understood that the purchasers are the Weyerhaueser syndicate the Chapman Timber Company of Portland, and Henry Teurech, a Minnesota capi talist. Simcoe Chapman, president of the Chapman Timber Company, yesterday declined to discuss the -deal, declaring that he would have nothing to say on the subject for several days. Mr. Benson, it is understood, is dis posing of his timber holdings and active business Interests. He has recently be come associated' with J. B. Teon in the proposed office building that will be erected at Fifth and Aider streets. SUNDAY LAWWARON Adventists Say Religious Lib erty Is Menaced. DECISIVE ACTION IS TAKEN Northwestern Body of Church Goes on Record Against Undue Legis lation Praises Press and Establishes New Territory. With resolutions adopted protesting against the legislation wf Sunday laws, declaring them a menace to religious liberty of the Northwest and the country at large ; indorsing the press and its power for good, and establish ing a new mission conference of the territory of Eastern Oregon, were the principal features of yesterday's meet ing of the North Pacific union confer ence. Seventh Day Adventists, in session in the Bast Portland church. That Sunday laws enacted by State Legislatures and by Congress is to be resisted at every point was the stand taken by the conference. The subject called out extended discussion, being based on the following resolutions read by A. G. Adams, secretary of the committee on plans: Whereas, There is a frrowing demand be Ing made by certain classes of citizens in this and other lands upon lawmaking; bod ies, both state and National, for religious legislation, especially laws requiring Sunday observance; therefore be it Resolved, that we enter our most solemn protest against all legislation of this char acter, and pledge ourselves to exercise every laudable effort in warning against union of- church and state. ( . Resolved, That in- order to meet the is sues of the hour' in religions legislation we recommend that religious liberty Institutes be held in our !ocal conferences early next Fall. In whjrh matters shall be considered as rhatl better enable ourselves to more in telligently meet the tissues before us. Power of Press Extolled. "The committee on plans also, recom mended in connection with the fore going resolutions that the press of the country be used in setting before the public the menace to religious liberty and the danger of Sunday legislation. I. H. Evans, superintendent of the work in the Orient and ex-treasurer of the general conference, has the following to say on this subject: "Brethren, this is a matter of great importance. I regard the power of the press In this country the most import ant factor in our system of education and civilization. How we were able to get along without the daily news paper for 6000 years is rrtore than I can understaud. The newspapers are the educators of this age and stand alongside of our schools. There is hardly a family in this country in which there is neither a morning nor evening paper. What would we do without the great daily papers of the present day? These papers, I am sure, will aid us in our fight for religious liberty. W. F. Martin spoke along the same line, and remarked that he always found the Portland daily papers will ing to publish the facts about Sunday legislation. It was the sentiment of the conference that a special effort should be made in the union conference this year by holding local institutes in the different conferences, where the people will be made acquainted with the proposed Sunday laws. It was announced that in most of the states the t-eglslatures will meet this year and Sunday laws will be pending before them, and it was the sentiment of the delegates that special effort should be made to prevent such legis lation. . Mission Conference Is; Formed. By resolution, a new mission confer ence was formed in Eastern Oregon, of the territory there excepting Klamath. Hood River, Wallowa, Baker, Union and Malheur counties. This territory had been part of the Upper Columbia confer- J ence, out ti. . u.. Langdon, president. In his report recommended that this mission conference be formed. He reported that the population was now about 100,000, but was growing rapidly as the railway com panies were building into the district from the Columbia .River. The new conference will be a mission conference, and will have a. president and secretary-treasurer, and will be under the supervision, of the Union conference. A resolution was adopted urging that all money raised by the Sabb&th School and young people be devoted entirely to the support of foreign missions. Elder H. W. Decker spoke for this resolution, remarking that he had worked to that end for more than 25 years. Walla AY alia College Finances. C. M. Christensen read the financial report of Walla Walla College and In dustrial School. The full resources of that Institution were given as $92,772, which Is an increase of $10,295 over the resources of a year ago. The net gain in resources was given as $6381. The debt was reported at $15,249. The question was raised why there should be any debt against the 'Institu tion by Elder F. S. Bunch and others when $25,000 in subscriptions were raised to pay off the debt and the jubilee 'was sung celebrating the cancellation of the debt. It was explained that the jubilee was sung on the theory that there were ample subscriptions and cash to consider Miss Barde is an artist of great promise, her sincere and splendid ,work having already earned more than local prominence. She not only prefers the glorious Chickerlng for con cert work, but recently purchased a. superb Chickerlng Concert Grand for her studio. Invitation May Be Secared Prom or Misa Barde. COUGHED Ml NIGHT Till This Recipe Was Tried.. Cur Fol lowed In 5 Hours. A prominent medical man, who suf fered with a severe cough and cold on the lungs, often being kept awake all night, and weakened by loss of sleep, finally discovered a simple formula which will cure any cough in five hours by the clock. It is a laxa- made at hom hv Anvo-ne and the 1 formula is here given for the benefit of those who pass sleepless nights in pain ful , paroxysms. Those who have tried it say it is magical, and beats any high-priced, slow-acting cough 1 medi cine ever sold. Mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cafdiol andkthree ounces syrup white pine compound. Take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then take one-half teaspoonful three or four times a day. Give children less according to age. This will tone up and rid the system of deep-seated coughs every time. the debt practically paid, but that after the jubilee had been sung, a great many who had subscribed got the impression that as the debt was settled there - was no reason why their subscriptions should be paid. Help Is Needed. C. W. Flaiz made a strong plea for the college and declared that the unpaid sub scriptions should be paid and the institu tion helped in money and equipment. He pointed out that the college is doing a great work in its field, but did not have ample equipment. President M. E. Cady spoke for the college and urged the im portance of making up the balance of the debt and clearing the institution of all I debt and then making the institution re- nnjiisiuie 1 or us woir. 1 ne cunierence adjourned for the day before the matter was disposed of and the report went over till another session The conference will hold a session this morning, but in the afternoon the dele gates will be the guests of the Mount Tabor Sanitarium, where they will be given dinner and shown through that in stitution. Tonight there will be a plat form meeting when addresses will be de livered by the physicians from the sani tarium. YEON CONTRACT IS LET WORK OX TALLEST BuAdiXG , OX COAST BEGIXS MARCH 10. Venerable Shacks Will Disappear When Leases Expire Sky scraper Finished In Year. The proposed erection of a 15-story building, 100x100 feet In ground floor di mensions, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Alder streets, by J. B. Yeon, a Portland capitalist, reached the point of definite materialization yesterday when the contract for building the structure was let. When completed this building will be the tallest on the Pacific Coast, excepting the tower of the Call building, In San Francisco. The Thompson-Starrett Company, of New York, through its local manager, Wilbur S. Sample, was the successful bid der. It was awarded the contract for $650,000. Work of wrecking the old frame struc tures on the site is. scheduled to com mence March 10 next. The building must be completed and ready for occupancy by March 15, 1911, according to a stipulation in the contract. There probably will be no more modem or beautiful building for business ten ants in the Far West when the Yeon structure is completed. In addition to the numerous modern fixtures. It will be equipped with a complete vacuum clean ing outfit.1 The outer walls will be of glazed terra cotta, presenting the same appearance as the new Meier & Frank building, which was built by the Thompson-Starrett Com pany. The interior wood finishings will be In mahogany. The buildlnghardware will be of antique brass. The ornamental iron work will all be electro-plaited in copper. A feature of the building will be the special equipment for dental surgery of fices. -For this compressed air and elec tric power are provided In th specifica tions. The building will have four high-speed elevators, capable of 600 feet per minute. The construction is to4 be a steel skele ton -and concrete, making it as absolutely fire-proof as modern engineering can de vise. Special attention was given to that part of the building by Reid Brothers, the architects, of San Francisco. This firm did the architectural work for The Ore gonlan building. . The construction of the building will require the excavation of 6000 cubic yards of earth, th use of 9000 cubic feet of con crete and of 2O00 tons of structural steel. "It is difficult to find a more thorough ly modern structure than It is proposed to make of the Yeon building,' said Wilbur S. Sample, manager -of the Thompson Starrett Company, last night. "Our firm is building the new $6,000,000 City Hall in New York and the general construction is pretty much the same. It is just the kind of buildings they are erecting In New York, Chicago and other large East ern cities now." Jury Awards $450 Damage.

THE TALKING MACHINE HEADQUARTERS Misa Sonle n The - I the most ideally located high-class residence property ever platted in Portland. It is being more highly improved than any other residence section of Portland. It is from 5 to 10 minutes closer in than other residence additions and has two carlines running through two different parts of the property. Laurelhurst will have asphalt streets, cement walks 9-foot parkways, water, gas, sewer, cluster lights, shade trees, etc. These improvements are being installed now, and will be completed August 1, 1910. Laurelhurst lots are still being offered at original prices. These prices are lower than is being asked for lots in other tracts not half so well located, much further out from town and- not so well improved. They will be positively -advanced March 15, 1910. By Reason of All These Facts Prices of Lots in Laurelhurst Are Bound to Double and More in 12 Months You- can purchase a lot in Laurelhurst, if you move quickly, at the original price. It will have every one ' of the above improvements. Say you buy one. of our $1000 lots. You pay us $100 cash when you select your lot, and you pay us $20 each month until paid for. In 12 months you will have paid us just $340.. In 12 months that lot will find a ready buyer at double what you paid for it, and more, because it has been increasing in value every day while you have been paying for it. Every home that is built and every improvement which is completed make your lots more valuable. If you sell it for $2000, you have made a. profit of $1000, besides the return of your $340 not quite 300 per cent profit in 12 months. AUTHORIZED BROKERS. Charlrs K. Henry Co. Wakefield. Fries & Co.
