Although yesterday was a holiday,
the work at the headquarters of the
Associated Charities was abated -very
little, for the demands of poverty do
not recognize holidays.
All day long the workers at the head
quarters received visits from the ap
jylicants for help and save out relief
in all cases where It was possible to
do so.
The contributions to the maintenance
fund are coming: In encouragingly, al
though there remains much to be raised
yet if the organization is to be able to
continue its work through the Summer
instead of closing its doors until next
October.
Besides the cash contributions yes
terday there were many donations in
other forms. Mrs. E. Dahlberg prom
ised that she would have milk sent to
one family in which there is an in
valid in need of special food and care.
Work was given to a painter whose
story appeared in a report recently
turned in at the Charities and other
friends of the Charities sent in other
donations.
The appeal for shoes for children who

portation thither.

CREMATORIUM IS OPEN
MOOT SCOTT PARK EDIFICE
DEDICATED FORMALLY.
Hnndreds Who Gather to Decorate
Graves of Soldiers Attend for
Impressive Pngrassc.
Impressive ceremony marked the for
mat dedication yesterday morning of
the new crematorium at Mount Scott
Park. The exercises were attended by
several hundred persons who gathered
at the cemetery from all parts of Port
land to take part in the dedication and
to decorate graves.
Emmet Williams delivered the dedi
catory address. He said the first cre
matorium in the United States was es
tablished by J. P. LeMoyne at Wash
ington. Pa., in 1876. Dr. LeMoyne was
the third person to be cremated in this
plant. The growth of the plan has been
rapid since that time. Portland was the
first Coast city north of San Francisco
to have a plant. In Portland, he said,
there was one cremation a week In
1900: now there is one cremation a day.
Koscoe rvelson also spoke. The pro
gramme of music was furnished by
John Clair Montieth and Mrs. Fred Ol
son. Rev. William W. Youngson, pastor
ot Kose city Park Methodist Episcopal
Church, offered the prayers.
The new plant was built by H. R.
Reynolds after an investigation extend
ing throughout the United States to get
the latest ideas on the subject.
The exterior Is of stone, while the
interior is finished so as to take away
the expected gloom. The cost of the
crematorium was $50,000.
POLICE BAND MEM ARE DUE
JiTidcd Faction Elects "Ed" Man
ring and Is Expected Here Today.
The Portland Police Band, or what
13 left of ffie organization, is expected
to arrive in Portland today by steam
ship from San Francisco. Sergeant R.
J. Ellis, president of the band when
it left Portland, returned last . week
declaring that he was through with
the organization and would not play In
it again. With him on the steamer
Bear came Sergeant Brothers and Pa
trolmen Richards and Stram, all band
members.
There was disagreement among the
band members in San Francisco, with
out a doubt, for they will return today
with a new president, but the trouble
has not been divulged by those wbo
have returned. "lid" Manring. the first
president of the band, was elected to
head the players upon the resignation
of Sergeant Eilis,
MISS HAMMOND'S morality play,
to be produced at the Heilig to
night and tomorrow, is in its na
ture esentially a pageant. Designed
for community production, it has been
filled by the author with effects which
are usually excluded by the limitations
of professional productions. Miss Ham
mond's great asset in her play Is the
eager spirit of co-operation, which en
thuses the Reed College women to a
high pitch. A great deal depends on
the spectacular effects by which the
beauty of the line3 and the artistic
splendor of the whole conception are
supplemented.
Comparisons by which Portland resi
dents cbuld appreciate the power of the
work Reed College women have done
on "Every woamn's Road" are lacking.
The possibilities lying in the per
formance of a pageant have aroused
Eastern communities to several nota
ble successes in the last few years.
But Portland has seen none of this kind
of production, and possibly may see
nothing within the next 25 years, which
in all features may be comparable with
the present effort.
By an assiduous devotion to Miss
Hammond's ideas, the Reed College
women have applied their collective
5 j-J SsCl "V Its? "S-
ability in an effective manner, and the
spectacle of their faithful contribution
to the success of "Everywoman's Road."
and incidentally to the increase of the
women's building fund, has been, on
several occasions touching. At least
one person has appreciated the rare
nature of close union under one leader
and-one idea, for the equivalent of all
the net receipts has been promised as
an addition to the building fund.
The burden bearers in particular are
interesting. They typify the slave in
womankind, toiling under heavy loads
of implements, produce or household
goods. Their passage across the stage
is especially arousing, for it furnishes
the actual view of the long-enduring,
laborious sacrifices that have been un
dergone in all ages. The weight of
their loads strikes the imagination aa
no sociological dissertation does. Ar
guments for the emancipation of
women get an effective, emotional
backing at the sight of their actual
painful toil. . .
The Reed Colcge women have done
more than shoulder the bags, baskets,
bundles and packs which typify the
position of women in society. They
have shouldered the responsibility for
Everywoman s Road, and . by com
bined effort make the plas- a certain
success. They have exerted willing in
dividual forces to give "Everywoman's
Road" the combined power it needed.
Capable hands and brains, working in
organization, have been behind Miss
Hammond since the initial rehearsal
in fact, since the first call for try
outs, and in this array of forces Miss
Hammond has found the means to play
her morality with the strength and
power it was meant to have.
The performance tonight begins at
8:15, and tomorrow's performances are
at 2:1a and 8:15.
Little Stories of Oregon Life
Good Piece of Glass That.
LEBANON, Or. A goat out of a band
that was being driven through
town Wednesday morning by Bert
Vehrs broke away and ran into the
Lebanon Clothing Company store where
he caught eight of himself through the
three-sided mirror used by them in
fitting clothing, says the Criterion. His
goatship failed to recognize his own
mug and at once showed the fight that
was in him by butting into the glass
head-on. He was caught before any
damage was done, however, and put
out of the back door.
Pork and Anto Are Consistent.
HEPPXER We noticed Joe Moyer
coming in from the Blackiiorse District
Tuesday with a dressed pork in the
rear seat of his automobile, and he dis
posed of same to a local market, says
the Herald.
Rabbits Worse Than Coyotes.
HEPPNER William Kummerland.
for over 30 years a resident of this sec
tion, told the Herald editor last Sat
urday that he was not in favor of main
taining such a high bounty on coyotes.
He said: "The coyote is far better to
have around than the rabbit. Last year
when I planted my potatoes the rab
bits got into the patch and dug them
up and when 1 plowed the garden I
only found two potatoes. It is almost
impossible to raise any garden truck
at all at the present time and it will
be still harder with the extinction of
the coyotes, as they kill off the rabbits
in large numbers. I say, let the coyotes
live."
Trainmen Forget Passengers.
ROGUE RIVER The Southern Pa
cific local freight crew are a mean lot
of fellows, says the Argus. Monday af
ternoon they reached thi s place from
the south, did a lot of switching and
then pulled out for Grants Pass, leav
ing a lot of cars on the siding and
they never said one word to their pas
sengers. The train wasn't out of Eight
when about 25 passengers came tum
bling out of the sidetracked cars and
the poor fellows had to walk those nine
long miles.
Editorial Hennery Bids for Fame.
COQU1LLE Editor's Breakfast Food,
of the Sentinel, has a coop of eight
hens which in four days recently laid
31 eggs. This means 97 per cent of the

AVIld Turkeys Are Profitable.
FOREST GROVE Judge R. O. Ste
venson, of this locality, ex-Game War
den, of Oregon, has the only flock of
genuine wild turkeys on the Pacific
Coast, says the News-Times. The Judge
is shipping wild turkey eggs to Nye
County, Nevada, having recently en
tered into a contract to furnish seven
dozen of the eggs to that county in
order to establish the wild turkey In
dustry there.
The judge has a dozen wild turkeys
of the genuine Virginia breed, and he
receives a snug sum per dozen for the
eggs.

LENTS It is believed that the
youngest grandmother in Oregon may
be found right here in Lents, at the
home of E. E. Hatter, of 6344 Eighty
