Finr off a trrMl-? near Milwaukee, on
th Orjrnn Witr Poww lln. at i
o rlork yeMenlHV afternoon, by a Port
Und -bound Orrpon lty car, Mr. and
Mr. fharlp J. Ilnldrn. of 17" Fast
Twenty-nrnt ftroot. SfUwood. Ml a dis
tance of about 22 feet and suMalntM fe
ver Internal Iruurios. They were taken
to Good Samaritan Hospital, where it Is
reported they will recover. A 3-year-oM
ton, who accompanied Jita parents, es
caped uninjured, landing on the body of
hi mother In the bottum of the ravine.
The car was In chance of Conductor Os
rar D. Stanley and Motorman N. A.
Shipley, with Conductor Edmund Thomp
aon on The trailer.
Accompanied by their two children, a
daughter afred and a aon aped 3, Mr.
and Mr, llolden had tarted from their
Sell wood home to walk to Courtney for
a visit with friends. Reaching Milwau
kle. they followed the street railway
track In preference, to the road. f hry
hesitated at the trestle to permit a
nuthbound car to pas. and then started
to walk across the structure, t.ir dauph
ter in the, meantime having returned to
the county road, which parallels the rail
road track, and crossed the same ra
vine over the waKon bridge. Tho par
ents, with their boy. had walked but a
fw yards when thy saw a northbound
car thundering down the track only a
frw rods distant. Pccomin frightened,
they ran forward In an effort to clear
the trestle. Instead of retracinn their
steps. Had they cone back, it is possi
ble they miRht have avoided the hcavlly
laded electric train.
Finding it would be impossible for
thrill to get across, Mr. and Mrs. Holdcn
stepped to the edge of the trestle, the
father taking the youngster In his arms.
It is At this point that the stories of tho
Injured people and the railway officials
differ afc to the responsibility for the ac
cident. Holden and his wife charge that
(hey were brushed off the trestle by the
parsing car. the speed of which Motor
tnnti Shipley was unable to lessen by
reversing the electric current, for the
reason that the trolley had left the wire.
The members of the train crfv and eye
witnesses in their reports to the com
pany represented that Holden and his
wife. Jumped from the trestle before the
car reached them.
The electric train was slopped asuick
ly as possible, and the crew and several
passengers wint to the assistance of the
Injured, who were brought to this city
ii nd tnk-n to the hospital. -Having re
ched only a slight cut on the face, the
h"y was taken to the home, of his parents
In Sclhvood. In falling from the trestle,
th Muff fellow had slipped from the
ciasp of hi father, who was the last to
leave the trestle, and alighted on the
(onn of his --mother below.
'Neither Holden nor his wife was
rtiuck by the car," said Benjamin F.
nton. claim agent for the Portland
Railway, T.lght Power Company, yes
terday: "They Jumped from the trestle
into the ravine before the ear- reached
them. Besides, they were walking on a
trestle over the company's private right
of way. Furthermore, had they retraced
thetr steps when they saw the car ap
proaching, they would have reached a
place of safety, for they had scarcely
started to walk across the structure when
the. cur came in sight. Instead, they
started to run for the other end of the
trestle and towards the. oncoming car.
The daughter evidently realized the dan
ger of walking across the trestle, for she
would not accompany her parents and
elected the county road as the safe
way." ,
T. Wilcox, of Jennings Todge. father
of Mrs. Holden. last night visited the In
jured couple at the hospital. 'l?oth my
daughter and her husband." said Mr.
Wilcox afterwards, "insist that they were
brushed off the trestle by the passing car.
They deny emphatically that they Jumped
from the structure."
Mr. Holden is employed as planer by
the Kast Side Mill & Lumber Company.

EAST SIDE ODDFELLOWS C'fcXE
, BItATE ANNIVERSARY.
Society Was, Organized In Vnited
States Eighty-Nine Years Ago,
Tributes to Its Work.
The eighty-ninth anniversary of the
founding of the Odd Fellows' order in
the Cnited State was celebrated yes
terday by City View Adge, of Sell
wood, and Rivervlew Jodg;e. of Mil
waukie, with the Rebekah Lodge, by a
service conducted In the. Sell wood
Methodist Church yesterday afternoon.
Members of these lodges marched from
their hall wearing their regalia, to
the church, where they were seated in
the renter block of pews. After music
by the choir. Rev. Thomas J. Klkin,
pastor of Bethel Church, Gresham, de
livered an oration, in the course of
which he reviewed the teachings and
lessons of Odd Fellowship and told
what the order stands for. He said
that from the natural disposition of
men. association and co-operation la
the universal tendency and pointed out
that it Is a principle en which all
progress stands. The Odd Fellows .
order, he said, was organired b9 years
ago by a blacksmith and hence had
an humble origin, but had been a
blessing in this country. He declared
that it is an order that appeals to the
workingmen and business men.
"It is based on the brotherhood of
man," he said, "for no man can live
independent of his fellows. We all be
long to one common family, having; the
same common end. bound for the same
port. Odd Fellowship Is founded on
the principles of friendship, love and
truth. It teaches morality in all things.
It enters the chambers of the sick. It
watches at the bedside of the dying-.
It speaks words of tenderness and con
dolence to the widow and orphan. It
is organized together for the better
ment of its members, in friendship,
love and truth. It visits the sick, it
buries the dead and takes care of the
widow and' orphan.
"Started April 26, 1R19. it has become
the idol of all classes of people work
ingmen. business men and all men And
in it that which appeals to their sym
pathies. The order makes no profes
sion of religion and is bound by no
creed, and yet It recognizes and ts
based on the undying principle of the
golden rule do unto others as you
would have them do unto you. It warns
a brother of the approach of danger.
It is a practical order. If a brother
asks for bread, it does not give a stone.
It reaches down and lifts up. When
the ship Is wrecked the surfmen man
the life-boat. They throw out the life
line to those In danger. The life-saving
crew plunges in regardless of the risk
to their own lives. So Odd Fellowship
throws out the life-line no matter
what the dansrer. It lifts a brother up
and out of danger."
Toward the close of his remarks Mr.
Elftins spoke of the Rebekah degree,
which was founded in 1851. and said it
was a realisation of the emancipation
and recognization of women and of
women's influence for good.

WHO ISMR.CROFT?
Question as to Seattle Boxer's
, ' Amateur Standing.
BACKED BY S. A. A. C. COIN
Sports From Pnpl Sound Metropo
lis Clean X'p Tidy Sura by
:' Betting on Their Man
Agalnvt Bd Johnson.
FT WILL. G. MACRAE.
Seattle' came to the Multnomah Club
amateur athletic tournament and vent a
number of clever athletes Into the a-ame,
bnt the beat part of the aojourn of the
eportemen from the Sound City, from
a monetary atandpoln. if not from a
strictly amateur athletic Iwlnt of view,
was the fact that they carried back with
them something over $1SOO which they
won when Henry Crofts knocked out Ed.
Johnson. Just where W. Inglls found
this fellow, only he and those who came
to Portland to bet their coin on a sure
thins know. There Is a suspicion that
If Croft'a amateur record were Scratched
it would be found that he haa not only
fought for money, but hns been fighting
around, the Washington coal mining
towns and in the gold mining camps of
Alaska for many moons.
This is not said because Croft beat
the local boy, for he did that trick
handily. Neither is it said because Croft
showed himself to be a worldbeating
professional. -A screwy thing about
Croft's amateur standing is learned from
InKlis" own statement. He said Croft
had been a dub about Seattle 'for two
years, and that It was only within the
last three months that he had shown
any class. This, perhaps, explains that
the number Croft drew on his registra
tion papers Is UD4. while that of Tuttle,
of M. A. A. C, who has only recently
been registered, la 1206; and Tuttle was
registered only nine days ago.
Another curious thhig touching on
Croft's registration Is the fact that R
E. Morgan.- a member of the registra
tion committee of the P. JC. W. A. A.,
was not notified of his registration.
Inglis of course could have taken Hob
bis, of Vancouver, B. C, into his con
fidence and undoubtedly the registra
tion of Croft is regular. Inglis was ac
cused of having a sleeper in his man,
and the proof of this was the way the
Seattle men bet their money, for tliey
passed up trying to give two to one
on Venable to lay even money on Croft.
Now Seattle sportsmen and lots of
sports have visited Portland from time
to time, and during athletic contests
between the clubs of the two cities, but
this was the first time they ever came
with their pockets bulging with money.
The fact that Croft beat Johnson does
not stamp him as a world beater. AYhlle
there seems to be little doubt about his
professional standing, not so much as
there is about his amateur standing, it
was. clear, judging from the way the Se
attle delegation bet their money, that
they knew it was a cinch. Croft wasn't
developed in three months. It may have
been that he showed Inglis what he had
three, months ago and it was so good
that Inglis forgot to ak Croft any im
pertinent questions ,about his amateur
standing. If Croft ts a professional he
ts a second-rater, just good enough to
get the money around small towns. If
he is a -Simon pure amateur, then he is
a good one.
Ail this, of course, does not lesson
Croft's most decisive victory 'over John
son. The Seattle "amateur" was hit
hard enough and often enough to have
stopped a man less game, but he assimi
lated all that Johnson had in stock, tore
in when he was ready and won without
being distressed. The fight was a rat
tling good one and as an opener to the
splendid card that Manager Kdgar
Frank gave the closing night of the
tournament, it was all that the most
ardent fight fan could ask for.
Tho fight only went two rounds, but
there was action every second. It was
a tornado of wollops, straight left and
right crosses. While the punches that
John6on planted on Croft's jaw had lots
of steam behind them, they did not slow
the Seattle man up. On the other hand,
Croft hurt his man when he let go either
hand, and after battling almost two
minutes of tho second round, he sent
Johnson down with a series of lefts and
rights.
The knockout punch was a right cross.
It landed fairly on Johnson's chin and
he fell as If he had been kicked by a
mule. His head struck the floor clear
of the mat and he was still down and
trying to get up at the end of the
count.

. I can positively convince you that there is no better investment on the present market than the
one here offered.
Think of it! Four billion feet of high-priced, hardwood, merchantable timber, located on the
Coast, accessible and easily logged, on good, wide, tidewater rivers.
The market for every foot of this vast tract is already established, and the profits will be enor
mous. Ten million feet per year can be sold in the immediate vicinity of our plant. This one market
guarantees a net profit of 30 per cent on the entire investment, and represents but a small propor
tion of our output.
This large tract of timber is located on the pacific Coast, where we have the best shipping facili
ties to any port in the world available.
The timber consists principally of the highest-priced woods used in the manufacture of pianos,
hotel fixtures, shipbuilding, railroad and electric cars, house and office trimmings, furniture, and
many other indispensable wood commodities.
The woods comprise MAHOGANY, LIGNUM VITAE, EBONY, CEDAR, ROSEWOOD, OAK,
RUBBER, BALSAM, COPOEBA, C0C0AB0LA.
The net price of this valuable tract of timber is less than 20 PER THOUSAND FEET, and
most of it finds a ready market at prices ranging from $100 to $400 per thousand.
The LIGNUM VITAE is in great demand, and marketable at more than $1000 per thousand feet.
The Board of Directors of the Northwestern Exploration & Development Co., which controls this
timber, has authorized me to sell a limited number of shares of its stock at 20 per share (par value
$1.00), for the purpose of installing a plant of sufficient size to meet the demands of the market.
I have on exhibition at my office samples of wood (highly polished), cut from this tract; also
cruisers' reports and other data, which will convince at once the most skeptical of the wonderful
money-making resources of this enterprise.
Call or write and secure subscription blanks. Do not delay, or you may miss the opportunity
of a lifetime.

A. Rolling opens splendidly equip
ped real estate office on Hibfoard
and Base Line Road, (Monta villa)
the growing importance of this popular suburb makes a
first-class real estate office an absolute necessity more
money to be made here in the next year or two than in
any other part of the city. What a successful Philadel
phian thinks of the country in and about Montavilla:
0 Mr. James Thomason, a very successful real estate man, of Philadelphia and a a life-long friend of mine,,
commenting on the future of the property in and about Montavilla, says: "It is destined to be the most
important suburb of Portland, for .the reason that Montavilla is directly in line with the natural resources of
Multnomah County; the scenic beauty of the county lies east of Montavilla; the agricultural wealth lies east;
the electric power lies east; the key to the railroad situation passes through it; in fact, the best there is. in'
Multnomah County has to go through Montavilla before it reaches Portland people."
SOME GOOD
INVESTMENTS
Either of these are money makers,
for they are offered for less than
they are worth

whole is a positive steal at the price.
LOT BARGAINS I have a party who has six fine
residence lots which he will sell for $500 each, or
one for $300, provided a modern cottage is built on it.

A. ROLLING
REAL ESTATE AGENT, MONTAVILLA
rfT 'Mr, Thomason is right. I have studied the map of Port-
land; I have priced propert' all round the city; I have
listened to points of advantage for the diffei-ent parts, and
my judgment is in accord with Mr. Thomason (whom I con
sulted several times before opening this office in Montavilla,
as I, too, am an Easterner, and 1 do not want to make a
mistake).
I believe that part of Portland in and about Montavilla has
" more in store for it than any other part of the city.
So I "have opened a real estate office complete in every
detail acreage, houses, lots, loans; everything that should
be a part of a first-class real estate office, and the office is at
the end of the "M-V" carline Hibbard avenue and Base
Line road, Montavilla.
9My honest opinion is, within one year from today Monta
viila will be the principal East Side trading point (excep
ting only Grand avenue), and if these expectations of mine
come true, then there will be more money made in and about
here than any other part of the country. It can't be other
wise when the finest kind of residence property may be had
for $300 a lot, or the finest .kind of business property may be
had for twice that sum.
T Take the M-V car go to the end of the line. You'll see the office. Whatever you want to do, I can help
vou do it.
a Buy a lot on installments and own a home. I have plenty of Eastern money to loan Build a house and
pay for it by the month; and it won't be built till someone comes along and pays you more than it cost you.
