TRAVEL IS HEAVY Many Persons Go Home for Thanksgiving Day. SOME MAKE LONG TRIPS Scores Slake Journey From Portland to Points In Middle West and East and Others Come West to Pass the Holidays. Travel on railroads radiating out of Portland vas heavier than usual this Thanksgiving period. Most of it pre ceded the holiday, however, and only such trips that could be completed within a few hours were undertaken yesterday. . Not since before the railroads stopped cutting rates for holidays and similar occasions has the long-distance travel been so extensive as this year. Scores of persons went from Portland to points in the Middle West and the East to pass the day with families or friends and It is estimated that a similar num ber came from equally distant parts to Portland for the same purpose. The big railroad and steamship of fices have records of a few cases wherein persons went to Europe to en Joy the day. However. It Is not on record that they undertook the Jour ney purposely for this occasion, as Thanksgiving is not celebrated In Europe. Only those Americans who are temporarily living abroad observed the holiday in regulation fashion and In a few instances travelers who contem plated transatlantic Journeys anyway, timed their trips so that they could be at their destination yesterday. Diners Serve Turkey. While the man who is compelled to eat his Thanksgiving meal on board a train Invariably considers himself un fortunate, the railroads prepared amply to satisfy such of their patrons who ate on their dining-cars. Turkey and the customary accompaniments were provided on every dining-car menu. Much travel was occasioned yester day because of the football game In Portland. Many University of Oregon students, living in various parts of the Willamette Valley, came up to the city on the ' early morning trains of the Oregon Electric and the Southern Pa cific Nearly all the students who live in Portland had arrived earlier, the railroads making an exception in their rate schedules in reducing the fares between Eugene and Portland. Trains between Portland and Puget Sound points did a big business Wed nesday and earlier in the week. Many persons moved in either direction. All trains arriving from Seattle yesterday morning hrougnt in many pemuuo ucui on enjoying a happy holiday In Port land. Two Arrive from East. A woman and her little daughter passed a few hours at the Union Depot yesterday morning while waiting for a train to take them to Oregon City, where they were to Join the husbartd and father, who had acquired a small piece of land near there. The travelers had come all the way from Elkhart, Ind and were determined to pass Thanksgiving day with the head of the family. They looked forward with loving anticipation to a turkey dinner, which they were sure awaited them. They will live In Oregon permanently. Portland people as a rule are good travelers. They think less of a trip to Chicago than a Chicago man does of a trip to St. Louis, Pittsburg or some other comparatively nearby point. If a Portland man Is separated 'from his family by a distance no greater than that between Portland and Chicago, he will make the trip without hesitation merely to be with them at such a time as Thanksgiving, Christmas or perhaps a birthday celebration. One woman who bought a ticket for Baltimore. Md., last Saturday, explained that she was making her transconti nental trip merely to be present with her son and his family on Thanksgiv ing day. She intends to return to her home in Southern Oregon before Christ mas. CHURCH WORKER IS COMING Field Secretary of Christian En deavor Society Due Tomorrow. H. H. Rottman, International field secretary for the United Society of Christian Endeavor, will arrive In Port land tomorrow to begin an active cam paign for building up that organization in Oregon. He has Just concluded sev eral months of similar work In Mon tana. Mr. Rottman will begin his work with a mass meeting of the various Christian Endeavor societies of the city at the Sunnyside Congregational Church, East Thirty-second and Taylor streets, at 3:30 P. M. Sunday. Each of the 48 societies of Portland will be rep resented. G. Evert Baker, state presi dent, will preside. A musical pro gramme will be given and Mr. Rott man will speak. Another conference will be held In Portland Monday night. On Tuesday Mr. Rottman and Mr. Baker will meet members of the organization at Forest Grove. They will be In Salem on Wed nesday and in Eugene on Thursday. A meeting will be held at Hood River on Friday, December 6, and at The Dalles on the following day. A week will be devoted to work In Central Oregon, during which Mr. Rottman and Mr. Baker will attend the county conven tion at Prineville on December 14 and 15. While in Oregon Mr. Rottman will have his headquarters at 304 Lewis building. PUBLIC HEALTH GUARDED w Book Deals With Government's Care of Its Citizens. Interest In public activities for the conservation of the public health Is gradually increasing throughout the country. The pure food laws, the meat inspection laws, the anti-tuberculosis crusades, the fight against the hook worm disease all are parts of a gen eral movement that, as yet. has no central head. The Nation, the states, the cities and many private institutions 11 are engaged in this work. What part the Federal Government had in it, a part that is especially im portant so far as pure food is con cerned. Is told simply and accurately in the new book. "The American Gov ernment," by Frederic J. Haskin. The most Important thing In this world to you is your health. What Uncle Sam Is doing to help you keep It Is something that you ought to know. Read this book. It Is being distrib uted to the readers of The Oregonian for the bare cost of production and handling. See the coupon on page 2. ELKS WILL HOLD SERVICES Kev. Oswald W. Taylor to Deliver Memorial Address Sunday. Members of the Portland Lodge of Elks will gather at the First Presby terian Church, Twelfth and Alder streets, at 2:30 P. M. Sunday to hold their annual services to the memory of their departed brothers. A pro gramme In keeping with the occasion has been prepared. The members will assemble In the lodge rooms at 2 o'clock and march to the church In a body. The memorial address will be de livered by Rev. Oswald W. Taylor, rector of Grace Memorial Episcopal Church and a member -of Wallace (Idaho) Lodge No. 3S1. Gus C. Moser, past exalted ruler of the Portland lodge and a member of the grand lodge committee on Judiciary, will pronounce the eulogies of those Portland Elks who have died since the last services were held. A quartet will sing several appropriate selections. The commit tee In charge of the services consists of J. J. McDonald, William Adam, W. I. Harris, George L. Hutchln and John Erkins. Every Lodge of Elks in the country will hold similar services next Sun day In accordance with the ritualistic injunction, "The faults of our brethers we write upon the sands, their virtues upon tablets of love and memory." These services frequently are erron eously referred to as "Sessions of Sor row," Inasmuch as they are held in honor of members who have died, but the Elks believe that there is no sor row or sadness in death and therefore do not make these yearly meetings oc casions of mourning or grief. These sessions are held rather to pay tributes of respect to the memory of the departed Elks and to call atten tion to the virtues they possessed while living. 'TIN PLATE' LAW OBEYED POLICE REPORT FEW DELIN QUENCIES EXISTING. Notice of Ordinance Has Not Been Received by All, So No Ar rests Will Be Made Xet. Investigations made by the police yesterday revealed the fact that the malnritv of roomlnsr-houses. hotels, lodging-houses, apartment-houses and saloons have complied with the terms of the "tlnplate'' ordinance which went Into effect yesterday, requiring the name and address of the owners of all such niacp. tn he disnlaved on a sign near the main entrance to the build- ln or Pnlirimfn whn were sent Out by Chief Slover to check un on the places affected reported back that few own ers have failed to comply. No arrests will be made under the l.Htnln.A until avnl TIP rDTl Vhn IS affected by the 4neasure has an op portunity to comply. r-very um yvo.o notified either by mail or In. person early in the week, but tnany owners could not be found and therefore do not know yet of the existence of the .. anJ .Aneanlianfltf VlAVA Tl Ot complied with its provisions. These persons will be notified as quickly as possible. Those who have looked over the ordi nance are questioning the ability of the city to require non-residents to put up signs In accordance with the meas ure. It is said the meure comes under the same class as the ordinance requiring the removal of weeds, from property, which ordinance was held null and void by Municipal Judge Taz weli because it could not be enforced in the case of property-owners who are non-residents. In the majority of cases the property owners have placed pasteboard signs out, there being but few tin or steel plates in evidence on buildings covered by this ordinance. The letters are of varied sizes, in some places being barely-large enough to be seen from the sidewalk. Every druggist In Portland should hav "Plummet"! Cough Stop." Ask for It. Surest "cough stopper' we know. Plummer. Third and Madison. An Exclusive Maker of High-Grade Eye Glasses I turn out a product not even to be hoped for in the ordinary op tical store.
