Thanksgiving Dinner. Served
in Arcadian Gardens.
MAYOR ACTS AS WAITER
Multnomah Hotel Manager lie
reives Cheers of Guests at End
of Plentiful Feast.
Many there were In Portland yes
terday who had their fill of Thanks
giving delicacies, but it was only the
.-iiosen 600 ' who were permitted to
tfke places at heavily-laden tables in
he Arcadian gardens In the Multno
mah hotel, gorge themselves with all
that goes with a Thanksgiving menu,
with orchestral music as a side dish.
.-nd Mayor Baker and other notables
I roving efficient as waiters.
The chosen "600" was an exclusive
ussemblage, for It included Portland's
live wire newspaper venders, young
men who Mayor Baker, In the only
i ddresg of the occasion, pointed out
"S the future business men and states-
kiien of Portland and Oregon.
Mr. Haurr Host.
Erie V. Hauser, owner of the Mult
nomah hotel, some years ago was
fortunate enough to be included in
that chosen group that includes boys
with initiative and aggressiveness
(tufflclent for them to earn their own
way through the sale of newspapers
rt was in St. Paul that "Mine Host"
Hauser vended papers, but it is the
1-ortland newsboys who are profiting
each Thanksgiving for his experi
ence.
With turkeys to the right of them
and turkeys to the left of them, the
toys showed their appreciation In
stveral ways. There were second
helpings, many, and even a few third
helpings, and what more can a guest
do than, eat heartily? But when the
Platters of turkey, dressing, cranber
ries and . other trimmings had been
disposed of the entire assemblage rose
as one and, led by Mayor Baker, who,
too. is a past member of this "chosen
group," gave three rousing cheers for
Mr. Hauser, cheers that could be
ieard for blocks about.
Table la Loaded.
Chef Spaulding had prepared food
for at least 1000 guests, for he ex
pected 600, and experience of the
past had taught him that a newsboy
anticipating an annual Thanksgiving
"feed" thinks not of the morrow, but
utilizes a capacity that Is remarkaDie
for stowing away food.
When the long lines of newsboys.
which Included not only the young-
ters but those men who, crippled
.ind maimed, choose to brave tne
tormy elements and earn their way
ather than depend upon charity, en
ured the Arcadian gardens, it was
plain to see that the estimate of 500
boys was low.
Spectators Help Walter.
More waiters were necessary, that
was certain, so a group of spec-
ators who had gathered to watch the
ftstlvitles were marshaled Into serv
ice. This group Included Mayor Ba
ker, Julius L. Meier, president of the
Atlantic-Pacific Highways and elec
trical exposition; W. J. Hofmann,
president of the Pacific Northwest
Tourist association. Herbert Cuthbert,
xecutive secretary of the same or
ganization, and J. E. Verree, busi
ness representative of The Oregonlan
Chicago, who is here for a short
visit.
The guests needed no urging to be
gin the task before them. The boys
btgan at once the pleasurable pastime
of disposing of 600 pounds of turkey.
200 pounds of mince pie, 1200 hot rolls.
-6 pounds of butter, two barrels of
Oregon cranberries, 25 gallons of cof
fee and eight boxes of Hood river
apples.
Mayor Makea Speech.
As this feature of the programme
came to an end. Mayor Baker cast
aside his waiter s livery and launched
into a talk that the boys declared
was a "regular speech."
'Your host, Eric V. Hauser, is the
only man in the United States who
on every Thanksgiving day calls the
newsboys together and gives them a
real, honest-to-gopdness feed," said
the mayor. "But don't think for a
minute that he does this as a chari
table act. He knows that many of you
have excellent homes and that those
of you who are not so fortunate have
sufficient ability, and initiative to
make your own way through life,
without the aid of charity from any
one. Dinner Mark of Respect.
"But in you, Mr. Hauser recognizes
the future business men and states
men of your city and state. It will
not be many years before you will be
directing affairs and we will be on
the sidelines applauding you.
"Realizing as he does that the news
boy of today is an important link In
our civic chain. Mr. Hauser gives this
dinner to you each year as a mark of
respect to you, an affair which he
trusts will aid In causing you to real
ize that you have an important part
to play In this world. He, like you,
has fought the dally battles that are
yours, and through perseverance and
keen business ability, that was devel
oped when he was a newsboy, he
stands today as one of the big men
and leaders of our state. Wherever
you find any movement for progress
of our state, you will find your host
nf today, giving of his resources and
etrength for its success."
"Let's give him a cheer," suggested
one freckled-faced youngster.
Host la Cheered.
"All right." answered Mayor Baker,
"If you really appreciate what Mr.
Hauser Is attempting to do for you,
and what he has done for you In the
past, stand up and give him a real
cheer. If you don't feel that way,
slay seated."
Up they rose, and the three cheers
that followed produced suclt a din
that some of the residents of the hotel
riot fortunate enough to receive an
invitation to this affair, wondered if
a riot had broke forth in the gardens.
Portlands newsboys have come to
look forward to Thanksgiving, for to
them it means not only a regal feast
and a Jolly "get-together," but also
a time when the part they play In the
world's game Is appreciated by their
friend, Eric V. Hauser, who under
stands not only them but their prob

Portland Trip.
THREE BRIDGES WRECKED
Total of 174 Stalled Automobiles
on Way Counted; Highway Bur
led Under Snow and Ice. . '
Three bridges, bulkheads and all,
carried away and 174 stalled automo
biles on the Columbia river highway
between Hood River and Bridal Veil
were counted by W. M. Johnson and
Everett Marriott of this city in a trip
young men. Though it rained along
the highway Tuesday, the water froze
almost immediately, they said.
CLEARING HIGHWAY BIG JOB
Tractors Prove Unequal to Task on
Ice-Locked Road.
Though the route along the Colum
bia river highway from Portland 'to
Crown Point was traveled by numer
ous automobiles yesterday, it was far
from a pleasant trip and the machines
which negotiated the ice-locked high
way hat far were on business, not
pleasure. Every attempt is being
made by frantic automobile owners
and county road workers to open up
the highway but they have met with
slight success thus far.
A second trial at breaking a path
way was made by two tractors, lent
to the county for the experiment by
O. V. Badley yesterday, but without
success. The snow plow, pushed by
one tractor and pulled by the other,
tackled the roadway near Corbett
with little more success than the
single tractor had experienced the day
before While the plow worked all
right in drift snow, it was virtually
worthless when It tried to break up
an ice field, where the top layer was
16 Inches deep in places.
A four-wheel-drive army truck,
equipped with chains and special ap
paratus for road-breaking, will be
dispatched to Corbett by the county

completing the supervision of the re
pair to conduit No. 1, which was
broken Sunday night.
Sunday brought the highest water
at the headworks that had been
known in 27 years, according to Mr.
Maupin, and the real surprise was
that more damage did not result.
"I was in the barracks getting a
cup of coffee," said Mr. Maupin.
"when I heard a crash that sounded

GRATITUDE CAUSES TOLD
Union Thanksgiving Services Held
at Temple Beth Israel.
If the Pilgrim fathers considered
that they should be thankful for the
few blessings they had received in the
face of all the hardships and priva
tions they suffered, the present-day
Americans have no kick coming. This
was the substance, although not the
exact words, of the address delivered
bv Rabbi Nahum B. Kreuger yester
day at the union meeting held in
Temple Beth Israel for Unitarian and
Jewish congregations,
"In the face of the untold suffer
ing of European and other war
stricken peoples, there should be no
limits to the thankfulness and- the,
gratitude expressed today by Ameri
cans," he eaid. "Our nation is not
only better off materially, but we
should also be appreciative of be
longing to that nation which is tak
ing the lead in the great movement
toward world peace."
Previous, to Rabbi Kreuger's er-mon-address.
Rev. William G. Eliot
Jr., read the proclamation of Presi
dent Harding. , The union services
were attended by a large number of
people. Temple Beth Israel being

V. W. C. A. Honor New Members.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallls, Nov. 24. (Special.)
A candle light recognition service
of the Y. W. C. A. based on the quali
ties of life truth, Joy, light and love
was held Tuesday night In honor
of new members. The four officers
of the college association were In
charge of aervleea. They are Gladys
Miller of Portland, president; Mary
Hayne of Halom, viee-prssldentl Nana
Becker, Portland, treasurer! Jsanette
Cramer of Grant pas, ehalrman ef
the membership committee, and
Evelyn Clark of Cervalli, Hearetary,
to Portland begun at Hood River at
1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and com
pleted with their arrival at 10 o'clock
Wednesday night.
In the opinion of these young men
It will be six weeks or more before
travel on the highway to Hood River !
will be possible or safe, even with an
early thaw, of which there were no
9igns to be seen on their trip. Be
ginning about four and a half miles
this side of Hood River, the highway
to Portland is burled under snow and
Ice with slide following slide with
monotonous regularity, they reported.
The slides vary In depth from 30 to
40 feet and in width from 150 to 00
yards.
The hikers do not believe that any
families will be found marooned in
automobiles along the highway, as
the scores of machines which they
encountered were all deserted. Farm
houses along the highway route are
sheltering many beleagured travelers,
who may be many weeks in getting
out, they said.
Woman andThlld Rescued.
Near Wyeth they learned of a fam
ily which had Just been rescued. Tho
husband had dug out a cave in a
snow-bank in which he left his wife
and two children, one four years and
the other nine months old, while he
sought help. Before he reached Wy
eth, some miles east, his wife, chilled,
started down the trail In the same
direction, carrying her baby. She was
found almost unconscious by rescuers,
but not in a dangerous condition.
The young men did not learn the
names.
Herman creek bridge, two miles
east of Cascade Locks, is one of
those wrecked by snow and ice slides.
they said. The bulkheads had beenj
carried away and the bridge proper
had dropped about four feet below the
roadway. Another bridge destroyed
was at the foot of Starvation falls,
about 11 miles from Hood River, and
the third they recalled was a small
bridge about IS miles this Bide of
Hood River.
Their trip was an eventful one, re
plete with climbing in which toe
holds had to be chopped in the ice.
In ..all their . Journey the highway
proper was not visible, they declared,
being) coated with snow, and in many
sections not even an outline of the
highway could be discerned In the
weep of -snpw-slides from the
heights. They did not believe the
roadway Itself was badly damaged.
Progress la Difficult.
It took the hikers four hours to
negotiate three-quarters of a mile
past Shell Rock mountains, those
hills of shale about a mile from
Wyeth. They could not see even the
telephone poles at this point and the
highway was completely hidden by
the icy slope to which the travelers
clung with toes and fingers. They
camped the first night Just west of
these hills.
At Wyeth Johnson and Marriott per
suaded a fisherman to carry them a
mile on their way in his smack and
at a point some miles west of Cascade
Locks were fortunate enough to ob
tain passage on a boat going west.
The craft proceeded along the south
bank of the Columbia until Bridal
Veil was reached and then swung
across the stream. The travelers dis
embarked about eight miles from
Vancouver, walked into that city
Wednesday evening and took the
lnterurban for Portland.
Johnson, whose home Is at 289V4
Beech street, is a driver on the Portland-Hood
River route of the United
States Bakery and ' was marooned
Saturday afternoon at Oct ell, eight
milee from Hood River. He walked
Into Hood River and started toward
Portland Tuesday In company with
Marriott, a eraek football player of
Washington high aehsei, also snowed
in at Hoed River,
In addition to the anew aas) )ee,
trees and mud are mixed In the siidea,
with a, resulting; mass that will be
difficult ta elear away, desiared the
commissioners today In the hope of
breaking the route from there to
Crown Point. Automobile owners
whose machines are snow-bound have
volunteered to aid in breaking the
way.
The tractors, which have been left
at Corbett, may prove Invaluable in
case of a thaw and for the present
may be used to pull automobiles out
of drifts.
Lloyd) Craig, camera man for the
Photocraft laboratories, returned to
Portland yesterday with a report on
conditions between Crown Point and
Multnomah Falls, to which station he
had hiked from the Vista house the
previous day.
There is only one big drift between
Vista House and the figure eight, he
reported, and in the figure eight there
is but little snow and virtually no ice.
From Bridal Veil to Multnomah falls
there are many drifts 30 feet deep, he
said. No bridges were out in the
route he traversed, but report was
current that the railroad bridge at
Eagle Creek was out of alignment.
The plant of the Bridal Veil Lum
ber company' was badly damaged by
slides, asserted Craig, many of the
sheds being broken in by the weight
of the snow. The crew of the mill
was engaged in breaking a trail to
the sawmill on the heights.
Mist Falls lodge was wrecked com
pletely by a slide, he reported. Mrs.
Dora Crownover and daughter, Mrs.
J. E. Hawkins, who were rescued
from the lodge Just five hours before
it caved in, reached Portland yester
day. They expressed sincere grati
tude for the Untiring work of Her
bert Hubbard and a Mr. Brisco of the
Albina railroad yards, who dug them
out of the drifts Just before the col
lapse of the building. The lodge Is
three-quarters of a mile west of Mult
nomah falls.
With the lesson of the stornt In
mind, Multnomah county commission
ers are contemplating arrangement
of storm signals at. Hood River,
Troutdale and Cascade Locks warning
autoists in the future of the approach
of , a severe storm in the Columbia
river gorge and probably closing the
highway to traffic until danger ' is
past.
INFANT BURNED BY FIRE
Two Children Rescued bjr Mother,
but Home Is Destroyed.
MONTESANO, Wash., Nov. 24.
(Special.) The Infant child of Mr.
and Mrs. Bert Prante of Satsop was
seriously burned in a fire that com
pletely destroyed the Prante home
late this afternoon. The house be
longed to Mis's Foxwell of Satsop and
was partially Insured. The Prante
family lost all their personal belong
ings. Mrs! Prante was in the kitchen of
her home when she heard the baby,
which had been left in its carriage
In the living room, screaming. She
rushed in to find- the room In flames,
andi was Just able to pull the baby
carriage out. It was necessary to
enter another room through a win
dow to rescue another child. The

the screen house was intact, and that
the new dam had not been damaged.
It was several minutes before we dis
covered that a part of conduit No. 1
had been torn away.
"Investigation proved that eight or
nine trees had come down the river,
several men watching the dam hav
ing sighted them and called a warn
ing to the men in the screen house.
Before anything could be done, one of
these trees crashed Into two of the
piers supporting the house and drift
ed against the conduit.
"Had It struck the conduit with the
same force that it hit the piers. I am
certain that conduit No. 1 would have
been thrown against the other con
duit and both would have gone out."
Mr. Maupin eaid that the water
Sunday night at the headworks was
14.4 feet above low water level. This
water rushed down like a torrent, he
Baid. carrying with It debris of all
sorts. .
Rupert Hauser. who Is In charge of
the construction of the dam at the
headworks, returned to Portland yes
terday. He said that-the flood had
done no damage whatever to the new
dam. and in effect proved a test under
which the dam served better than was
expected. The high water will retard
the completion of the work somewhat,
for the river has overflowed its banks
and must drop a few feet before the
work on the new canal can be resumed.
DEATH CALLED ACCIDENT

Cougars Are Killing Deer.

that predatory animals are lese of a
menace this year than heretofore. Ac

Choice Cuts
and Others
A few weeks ago
a newspaper man
visited one of the
wholesale markets of
Swift & Company.
He wanted to see a
retailer buy a loin of
beef and then watch
the retailer sell the por
terhouse and sirloin
steaks from it over his
counter. He thought
this would make a good
story.
The head of the mar
ket took the reporter
into the "cooler" where
he showed him a high
class side of beef. With
a wooden skewer he
marked off the loin and
said, "That would cost
a retailer just 40 cents
a pound, but it's only
8 percent of the weight
of the whole side.
"This piece, (and he
marked off about one-,
fourth of the carcass) is
the chuck and I'll sell
it at wholesale for 7
cents a pound. Please
remember, this is one of
ourbestsidesofbeef. We
also , have beef which
sells for half as much."
This wide variation in the price of various cuts from the same
side of beef is caused largely by demand for the tender cuts. The
others are, of course, just as wholesome.
It seems as though more people than ever are demanding
choicer cuts, and their demand sets the price. If few people ask for
the forequarter cuts, the price of forequarters will automatically drop
to a figure low enough to induce people to buy because of cheapness.
Even though certain cuts sell for relatively hign prices, other
cuts, due to lack of demand, sell so low that our profit from all sources
over a period- of five years averaged only a fraction of a cent a pound.
It is competition between consumers for the choice cuts 'that
keeps prices for those cuts relatively high; an equalizing demand for
all parts of the carcass would benefit producer, packer, retailer
and consumer.
Our average wholesale selling price of all products has fallen
. about 40 per cent since September 1920.
