A telephone message made possible by repairs of a forest telephone line by i bear hunter on his Spring trapping ex peditlon brought the first news that a party of four persons, two men and two women, had spent the Winter near the summit of the Cascade Mountains in the wildest and most desolate part of the state of Oregon. The message stated that the party's food supplies had i&en exhausted and asked that someone be sent to their relief with provisions. The members of the party were: Mr. and Mrs. C M.

Throughout Portland one may not turn without finding the mes sage, for it springs from posters, from show-windows, from automobiles and from a score of common, unescapable sources. As for the automobiles, from flivver I to imported touring car, it was Ser geant Tom Hashy. of the Spruce Divi sion, with a detail of men in olive- drab, who circulated briskl.- through the central city yesterday morning and affixed not less than E000 Red Cross stickers on as many wind-shields. And the vast covey of ears swept to every part of the city, carrying the call. Spirit Permeates Portland. In evidence of the spirit of giving I that permeates Portland there are scores of early examples such, for in stance, as the gift of a diamond ring! to the Red Cross auction, by Mrs. Eliz abeth Buckner, . of 675 Overton street, who wrdtes on the accompanying card. in a thin, old-fashioned hand, "A True I American."

Red Cross of ficials are unstinted in their expres sions of appreciation for this service. and for that of hundreds of other fem inine volunteers who are enlisted for I the'period of the drive. This morning, then, the Red Cross campaign begins in real earnest for Portland. Officially It was launched yesterday, and In the outer state the drive has one day's handicap over the city. But the local crusaders feel that the will to give is with them, and that I the conquest of the city for the cause is to resemble an unconditional sur render "By Wednesday night," is the confl- I dent chorus of the colonels, the cap tains, the lieutenants and their thou-1 sands of ready recruits.

At the latter meeting the courtesy of Portland housewives was appealed to, that Red Cross solicitors may receive rroper and respectful attention when they call at the homes In their round of duty. Driving power in abundance was generated at the meeting of war fund leaders with the captains of the busi ness section division. Of flashy ora tory there was none, but the few terse messages delivered struck a responsive chord and brought abundant evidence that every worker present was imbued with the spirit of service. "The finest thing about this drive," declared C C. Colt, chairman of the war fund for Portland, "is the splendid eplrit of unselfish service I have noted In the days we have been preparing for this enort.

J. Mackenzie, dean of the Oregon Medical School, yesterday sur prised the members' council of the Chamber of Commerce with the state ment that "there is not today a single hospital bed available in Portland for man, woman or child." Following this statement with a re view of conditions showing the urgent need of facilities to meet Industrial emergencies that continually send men to the surgical wards of the hospitals. Dr. Mackenzie expressed the belief that within 60 or 90 days a beginning would be made on one, and possibly two, hos pitals on the hill site of the new Ore gon Medical College in South Portland. Though he. did not so announce, it was quite generally understood that one of these hospitals is to be the proposed Joint institution for Multnomah County and the city of Portland. The other, though, may be a Government rehabili tation hospital. The Federal Government recently in cluded in sn appropriation $15,000,000 for establishment of rehabilitation hos pitals. Fourteen of these institutions have been located east of the Missis sippi River. In view of the fact that Reed College Is the only institution west of the river chosen for rehabilita tion educational work, it Is surmised that Portland may be selected as the location for one of the large hospitals. "Aiding the Government in construc tive education for the Army" was the subject for the day, but the discussion took a wider range and aroused tre mendous Interest among members pres ent. Frank Shepherd, Government rep resentative for the five Northwestern states in the educational work, ex plained the character of training it Is desired to give for the various branches of service. Dr. E. A. Sommer of the School Board, and L. R. Alderman. Su perintendent of Schools, spoke on ths efforts the schools hsve been making to give the fullest possible service to the country. There was an excellent ex hibit of the industrial work of the Benson Polytechnic School that was a revelation to many of the representa tive business men. William A. Marshall, of ths Stats Industrial Accident Commission, spoke briefly of the work of that d partment and of the benefits that had accrued to the community through its service. Lieutenant McKlnnon, of the Cana dian army, spoke on behalf of the Red Cross campaign, telling in graphic manner what is actually meant by ths term, "going over the top." Dr. Mackenzie called the attention of his auditors to the extraordinary situ ation here as to hospital. He told of the number of wounded in the war among all belligerents, having been placed at 13,000,000 up to March 1. of whom 2,000,000 had suffered amputa tions of arms or legs. This by way of suggesting the importance of making the necessary provision here for ths Industrial training of great numbers of Americans who will be returned from the front in such physical condi tion as to necessitate giving them new industrial education.
