OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17. 1909. THE 3IOBXIXG WINEMEN 00 NOT UPHOLD SALOONS Grape Growers of California Would Educate the Public. AN AID TO TEMPERANCE Lead ins Official Declares That the Proper Vse of This Beverage Is Beneficial and Prevents TTsnal Prevalence of Indigestion. After spending three weeks delivering daily lectures in the California building; at the Alaska-Yukon-Fariflc Exposition. Horatio F. Stoll, of San Francisco, secre tary of the Grape-growers of California. Is In Portland for a few days for the purpose of discussing California wines with both sides in the. coming campaign In which the Prohibitionists will endeavor to put Oregon In the dry column. Mr. Stoll is the designer and director of the Grape-growers' booth at the recent State Fair at Sacramento. The associa tion whleh he represents is composed of about grape-growers. According to literature that Mr. Stoll has been giving out at Seattle and other points. California has $100,000,000 Invested in the grape-growing Industry. The area devoted to wine grapes is 150,000 acres: raisin grapes M.ono acres and table grapes 40,vo acres. California yearly puts out S5.0fO.Ort) gallons of dry wines and 16.000.000 gallons of sweet wines. Therefore, the state and the grape-growers are vitally Interested In the prohibition movement. Do Xot Snpport Saloons. "We are not Interested In the fight against the saloon." said Mr. Stoll. at the Portland Hotel, yesterday, "but are en gaged In a campaign that extends throughout the United States, in the effort to educate the people Into the proper uses of wine. We believe that the prohibition movement finds its force, not to much In the use of light wines as In the atmosphere that surrounds the saloon and the arrogance of that institution. "We are offering as a solution of the problem the granting of the privilege to all persons to use wines and liquors In their own homes when purchased in Sf-aled packages and the fight to hotels, restaurants and cafes to serve liquors with bona fide meals. "Along this line we are endeavoring to teach the people the proper use of wines and contend that when properly used light wines are an aid to temperance. "Dry wlnesi sipped with meals, are beneficial . In almost any condition of health. In the great wine-producing countries of Kurope. where wine Is taken with meals generally among the people. Indigestion such as prevails In this coun try is practically unknown. "In America our people drink Ice water with meals, delaying digestion until the blood heat Is restored to the stomach. Improper use of wine Is Just as dele terious. The dry wine Is that which has a high percentage of acid and a low per centage of sugar, kany persons, before drinking claH. put a lump of sugar In the glass. Immediately a chemical re action takes place and the wine Is not fit to use. A Matter of Temperament. "We are also endeavoring to Instruct the public In the selection of wine ac cording to Individual temperament. The person of sluggish temperament to de rive , benefit, requires a different wine from him who Is nervous or excitable. Then the use of wines In cooking is an Important factor. In Seattle we distrib uted 10.000 booklets entitled "Cooking with Wine." This book embraces a selec tion of choice European receipts, using wines, that are popular in the bejrt French, German and Italian cafes and families. Much of the secret of French cooking Is found In the use of small amounts of wine. It was peculiar the reception this booklet received In some quarters. Many persons who saw the wording 'Cooking with wfne' refused to accept It, not knowing that alcohol, because of Its vo latile properties, is expelled from the wine by heat leaving only the flavor of the wine In the prepared food. "I admit that most of the sweet wines lilts port, ot sherry, contain alcohol in quantity equal to that In brandy and whisky. Our efforts, however, are di rected more toward educating the public In the proper use of the dry wines, such as clarets. California Is strongly Inter ested In this matter. The growing of wine grapes in California was started by the church and has been fostered by the state until It has grown Into an Industry that means a yearly revenue of 1:5,000, 000. How Business Began. The first wine grapes In California were planted around the mission walls by the Franciscan Fathers. Subsequently the state Imported cuttings from the best varieties of wine grapes grown In France and Italy. The last State Legislature adopted resolutions recommending the encouragement of the vltlcultural indus try In California. As I have said we are not tailing part In the fight against the saloon. I believe that the proper use of beer Is not deleterious and that the brswerles should not be closed but that the people should have the privilege of buying beer in sealed packages from the brewers. The fault with the breweries lies In the fact that they, as a rule, es tablish and maintain saloons and are drawn Into the fostering of vice therein. Needs Wide Discussion. "I was Interested in the letter from Mr. .Zimmerman, that appeared on the editorial page of The Oregonian ' thw morning. I agree thoroughly with him that the subject of temperance should be a matter of general discussion." ENROLLMENT NOW 18,633 Eliot and Davis Schools Are Yet to Be Heard From. The school attendance yesterday was almost SXO greater than on the opening day of the year, due largely to the open ing of the Stephens and Vernon schools, as well as the natural Increase. Yester day's enrollment was 1S.KM, while on ths first day it was 16,7t4. The increase is almost WO over the corresponding day of when there were 17,714 registered, while the figures for 1907 were 16.191 The Vernon school opened yesterday with an enrollment of 343 pupils. This leaves but two schools to open, the Eliot and Davis. Both will open next week, although the exact date cannot be given.

The club approved heartily the action of Mayor Simon in the purchase of 30 acres of the Laurelhurst tract for a park There was some discussion of im provements In the park, and It was the sentiment of the meeting that ground In the tract should be prepared for a ballground for the boys of the district. After purchase of the tract has been completed the club committee will take up the question of providing such ball ground.

The affair was a sort of good-bye concert prior to the depart ure of Miss Harwas for Boston, where she Is to make her professional appear ance on the operatic stage. Miss Harwas was unfortunate enough to suffer from the effects of a sort of Influenza, which is at present affecting many singers In this locality, but she managed to keep her voice under so much control that her difficulty was hardly noticeable. Miss Harwas has not ung an extended programme in concert since her recent return from Italy. Her fine and earnest vocallsm of last night was an admirable presentation for a singer so young as she of the best Ideal ism of a dramatic soprano. She is well equipped in every way to suceed in her chosen profession. Verdi. Schubert, "Wachtmelster, Massen et' and Chamlnade were the composers she first chose to interpret, and she did her most effective work in the heavy, exacting "Die Nachte Sturmen." Then she entered a devout, religious atmos phere In singing an "Ave Marie" by Leon cavallo, and entered so much Into the spirit of the composition that for her the hall became a shrine. In this one number the accompaniments were played admirably on the piano by Mrs. Warren Ev Thomas and on the reed organ by Frederick W. Goodrich. Mr. Montelth sang three numbers In German and sang them well, but he made quite a hit In his artistic rendition of Marslals' "Nothing More." The piano accompanist was Mrs. Warren 1 E.

Asks tor a Receiver to Take Charge of Property on Canyon Road. Asking that a receiver to take charge of the poorfarm property on the Canyon road be appointed in the Circuit Court, B. M. Lombard has filed an amended complaint to the one originally made by himself and H. L. Suydam against W. A. Spanton. H. R. Reynolds, County Judge Webster, Commissioners LIghtner and Barnes and the United States Trust Company. Iate yesterday afternoon Suydam also filed an amended complaint, thereby adding to the already complicat ed condition of affairs relative to the poorfarm sale. Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh recently signed an order per mitting Suydam and Lombard to proceed separately in their suit against Spanton, Reynolds and the county officials. Suy dam has employed Attorneys Taggart & Crawford to look after his interests, while 0 All $40, $45, $50 and $55 Suits on Sale for Two Days Only, Friday and Saturday, for . . . k V I 1 a lining tnat will last two seasons. Every coat will be built with the fa mous "never break" front that will stand up until the garment is cast aside, and, getting into the very meat of this guarantee, we are pleased to guarantee now that we have our modern workshop THIS WEEK Attorney W. C. Bristol appears for Lom bard. Suydam alleges that the original agree ment was that he was to have an inter est with Spanton In the poorfarm prop erty if the latter succeeded in purchas ing It from the county. He allege', that the first J5000 paid by Spanton was money furnished by other persons, and that ho was ready before the expiration of the 80 days' time allowed for maklnjr the sec ond payment of $30,000 to furnlsn half this amount. He even went to the ex tent of tendering the entire amount, $30, 000, to the County Court on July 17, he says, demanding that the members of the court give him a deod to the 202 acres. Since the contract of sale was awarded by the commissioners to Spanton he has "proceeded in a manner peculiarly his own." alleges Suydam, to crowd the latter out, refusing him any voice in the Hand ling of the property. Suydam says that this amounts to a usurpation of his rights. Reynolds, he charges, abets Spanton. He asks that Spanton's assign ment of his interest In the poorfarm to the United States Trust Company be set aside, that the court Issue a decree de claring Spanton the holder of an express trust, and that the commissioners be re quired to execute a deed to the property containing Suydam's name as one of the grantees. He alleges that he is entitled to an eighth interest in the property. Lombard's suit is of the same import, except that be demands that the rights iliii mi h It i i' "- nii-n'' '''' " "iimanUiriaiurt m" F t-tt' "A $ ' $ ' '' .. a v h r r ' t . ,:'-.' ' of all parties Interested In the poorfarm be determined by a court of equity. Judge Bronaugh has already dissolved the temporary injunction issued in the case brought by Frank Bollam against the commissioners, Spanton and others. This injunction restrained the County Court from issuing to Spanton a deed. The Bollam case may now go to trial on the merits, and It is not likely that 'the County Court will issue a deed until the suit has been settled.
