Systematic Chtlo Studt. At the first
meeting of the Home Training Circle,
No. 12. held yesterday 'afternoon in the
Thompson school. Multnomah Addition,
Mrs. W. J. Hawkins gave a talk on
"Systematic Child Study." In the course
of her address Mrs. Hawkins set forth
the advantage of having a systematic
connected study of child life running
through tlie year instead of taking: up the
question haphazard as heretofore. She
showed wliere and how to get the best
material on child study so that all the
papers or addresses given during the
yar would be connected, each meeting
joining on to the former and leading up
to the next meeting. The speaker pointed
out the great advantage of conducting
the work of the circle in this way. and
showed that there had been much wasted
effort. The talk of Mrs. Hawkins was
appreciated by the members of the cir
cle, who undertake to carry out her sug
gestions. It will be the first circle to
adopt such a programme. Regular meet
ings will be held in the Thompson school
house everv two weeks.

Harbormaster to Investigate Report
That River I Contaminated by
Schwarzchild & Sulzberger Co.
That the slaughter-house of the
Schwarzchild & Sulzberger Company, the
Independent packers, operating In what
is known as the old Zimmerman plant on
the Macadam road, are permitting large
quantities of blood to flow into the W il
lamette River and contaminate the water.
has been reported to Harbormaster
Speier, who Is engaged in an Investiga
tion of the report. The matter Is par
ticularly pertinent at this time, because
of the fact that the company will be
obliged to apply for a pemrlt at the
hands of the City Council to continue
in business after November 1. The old
permit terminates with this month, and
there is prospect of a big fight in the
Council over its renewal.
Councilman Cottel. who has from the
outset opposed the, operation of the "S
& 8." people within the city limits, de
Clares that the river is now being con
taminated and made a nuisance, at least
In the vicinity of the plant. He believes
that no packing company should have the
privilege of slaughtering in the city lim
its, and will undoubtedly make a deter
mined effort to head off any application
for a new permit.
"The company is now operating In ab
solute violation of law, and should be
stopped," said Dr. Cottcl. "It i3 not
right to permit slaughtering In the city
limits, as It is sure to create a nuisance
in any community. When the matter
was before the Council on the appearance
in the city of the new company. Coun
cilman Beldlng declared that the estab
lishment 'Is conducted in a manner to
cause no resentment or annoyance'; but
that certainly Is not the case now."
Mr. Beldlng strongly favors the pres
ence of the plant In the location on the
Macadam road, and did all he could to
secure it for his ward at the time appli
cation was made for a permit in the first
instance.

Ruling Affects Oregon Case.
Confronted by an adverse California
decision covering the same points, it Is
regarded as likely that the Oregon Rail
road Commission will have hard sledding
to penalize the Wells-Fargo Express
Company for discriminative raites, a pun-
shment that was promised Just before
the last election. It Is regarded as im
practicable to readjust intrastate rates
without conflicting with Interstate tariffs,
a matter over which the state commission
has no control and which must be left to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
alone. A hearing on the complaint charg-
