PROLONGS HIS VISIT
Programme of Good Cheer
Carried Over Day.
WOBODY HERE FORGOTTEN
Poor, Unemployed and Needy Share
Hospitality of Labor and Oth
er City Organizations.
Good old Santa Claua, who brings
cheer, benevolence and charity to the
world every year, prolonged his visit
in Tortland to include yesterday. Sat
urday afternoon the fastenings on old
St. Nick's bag- of gifts were unloosed
and from it there continued to flow
bounties to rich and poor alike until
late last night.
It is not with Intent that Santa
Claus sometimes overlooks a man,
woman or child. His only mistakes'
are made when he visits a city where!
the citizens have grown selfish and
fellow men. Portland people did not
forget this season. There was no self
ishness in the heart of the city that
deprived the poor and unfortunate of
their share of the Yuletide blessings.
Yesterday afternoon the doors of
the Labor temple swung open and
through the portals went more than
150 men who had shared no previous
Christmas Joys. They were the un
employed, the poor and the needy.
No questions were asked. If one
was hungry and If he had been for
KOtten he was welcome. Nor was the
banquet confined to men alone. A
widow with three small children
found her way into the fe: pie and
with her little family around her,
shared with the men. Old men past
the ase where they could compete
with their fellows in employment
were there. Out of deference to their
Sray hairs they were given the first
seating at the tables.
ProcrMMinn Orderly One.
There was no mad rush for the
tables. Despite the fact that many
of the men were truiy hungry, it wus
an orderly procession that filed into
the room and took the seats around
the tables heaped high with Christmas
foods.
It was not an act of charity on the
part of the Central Labor council when
this banquet was set. The men were
guests and they were treated as such.
There was no speech-making, and the
men were not patronized with sym
pathetic platitudes. The money for
the affair was raised by donations
Leaders in the various unions vol
unteered their services in preparing
the meal. Women from the wait
resses' union served the food. In the
menu there was turkey, steaming
roast beef, baked potatoes, celery,
mince pie, oranges, apples and other
foods. Several kegs of sweet cider
stood back of the tables and of these
each man had his share.
Following the dinner the men gath
ered around a Christmas tree in the
corner of the dining room. From this
were dispensed envelopes, each con
taining, a one. two or five-dollar bill.
Worthy men who have families re
ceived the larger donations, while
those who have no one but themselves
to look out for got the smaller bills.
It was a provision against hunger the
next day.
Baskets Also Distributed.
The work ot the Central Labor
council was not confined to the Christ
mas dinner. Scores of large baskets
containing foods of all kinds were
distributed Saturday and Sunday to
families in need. No family worthy
of aid was overlooked by the or
ganization of the union men
. Christmas was not passed by at the
j'oriiana settlement center, 209 Ca
ruthers street, without a special pro
gramme. On Christmas morning the
cnimren or the center flocked about
a Christmas tree laden with gifts.
Kaoh child received a share of the
offerings from the tree. Then a col
lection was taken and' from their
small funds donations were made to
the "far east relief fund."
Christmas dinner for 250 homeless
men was supplied yesterday by the
Salvation Army at 52 Third street.
The men came in relays of 60 at in
tervals of 45 minutes. Roast pork,
roast beef and chicken formed the
headllners of a dinner that was de
clared the best in many a long day
by the men. The bountiful helpings of
meat were set off with cranberry
sauce, potatoes, turnips, celery, pie,
tea, coffee and apples. Brigadier John
Hay, divisional officer for Oregon,
presided.

Fifty ex-service men from local
hospitals and the- ex-service men's
club were guests of the Itotary club
at the Benson hotel for Christmas
dinner yesterday and an entertain
ment programme afterward. Follow
ing this the same men went en masse

girls Friday night were Tullded
around. the goodness of Santa Claus
and the Joy of Christmas time.
. Enthusiasm la Pronounced.
The community Christmas tree orig
inated several weeks ago with John
Baker, district attorney here, who
suggested that good fellows of the
city should formulate some plan for
giving the poor of the town some real
Yuletide cheer. Mr. Thiele had al
ready announced that his Christmas
tree would be available to the general
public. And thus it was suggested
that the event be made a general
community affair, with the Columbia
Gorge hotel for the rendezvous. The
enthusiasm of parents was more pro
nounced than had been anticipated
All children whose families did not
own automobiles were carried to and
from the hotel by volunteer motorists,
some of whose oars made two trips.
E. E. Goodrich, who has a contract for
transporting school children, donated
the services of his huge bus.
The children were instructed to as
semble at the county library building
at 4:30 sharp. But by 2 o'clock be

steps of the building shouting for
transportation. Many children were
accompanied by their parents, ana el

. Climax. la Itrachrd.
The Columbia Gorge hotel, in its
brief life' of only six months, already
has been the meeting place of some
enthusiastic assemblages, and in the
future other appreciative guests will
gather there for toasts and feasts,
but a climax in Christmas mirth and
the faith of childhood was reached
Friday night. Mr. Thleie had devoted
several days toward preparing his
hostelry for the event.
The children were given full run of
the big hostelry's main floor. LittleJ
boys and girls ebbed and flowed in
corridors, sitting rooms and the din
ing room itrMf. Big eyes, blue and
brown, were wide with wonder, and
in the exuberance of their faith many
little girls embraced old Santa Claus
when they passed him in line for the
dining room. Outside the rugged Co
lumbia gorge lay inspiringly still in
8 blanket of deep snow, indeed, the
Columbia river highway was paved
with a winter whiteness and drivers
of automobiles, guarding their pre
cious loads, guided their cars with
least 150 adults were as enthusias
tically Joyful as were any of the
younger children.
Owners of automobiles conveyed not
only their own children, but as many
of their neighbors'.
One of the most active members of
the committee in charge of arranging
for the visit of the -children was Mrs.
Glendora Blakeley, . county health
nurse. Other members of the com
mittee were District Attorney Baker
C. A. Bell. A. M. Cannon, C. II
Vaughan, R. B. Peri-o, Hugh G. Baell

PERUVIAN PROPOSAL MAY. BE
.ACCEPTED BY CHILE.
Plenipotentiaries of Two Countries
to Be Appointed for Ses
sion in Washington.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 26. By the
Associated Press.) The correspondent
understands that the Chilean reply to
the latest Peruvian note will contain
acceptance of Peru's proposal that
plenipotentiaries of the two countries
be appointed to meet in Washington
for the purpose of continuing negotia
tions looking to a settlement of the
dispute over the provinces of Tacna
and Arica.
The latest Peruvian note is com
mented upon favorably by the news
papers Kl Alercurlo and La Nacion.
They agree that it is a development
bringing the negotiations to a more
positive stage.
La Nacion thinks that a meeting of
plenipotentiaries in a foreign capital
will be a satisfactory method of de
termining just what Is to be arbi
trated. El Dairo Illustrado dissents from
this view. It declares there is nothing
to arbitrate other than fixing condi
tions for carrying out article three of
the treaty of Ancon providing for a
plebiscite to determine the sovereign
ty of the disputed provinces.
LIMA. Peru, Dec. 25. (By the As
sociated Press.) The Peruvian gov
ernment today sent a note to Bolivia
saying that Peru would take special
information in co-operatins with Bo
livia to bring about arbitration of
the differences between Bolivia and
Chile, provided the present contro
versy between Peru and Chile could
be settled by arbitration.
The Peruvian note was in reply to
a communication in which Bolivia
suggested that in case Peru and Chile
were unable to arrive at an agreement
regarding the sovereignty of the dls.
puted provinces of Tacna and Arioa.
an international conference composed
of interested and friendly nations be
called to settle the whole South Pa
cific problems.
