"HIKERS" END TRIP Y. M. C. A. Boys Low in Funds, Strong in Health. EDIFICE IS COMPLETED AT COST OF $3500. PARTY TRAVELS 256 MILES Expedition Is Stranded at Forest Grove but Telephone Ahead to Get Money 'to Pay Fare to Portland and Home. Looking into the financial condition of the Portland Y. M. C. A. "hikers" when they arrived in Forest Grove, Friday night, J. C. Meehan, leader of the expedition, suddenly discovered that, owins to unexpected expenses during the trip, their assets had van ished and they were literally stranded. He telephoned into the headquarters In Portland and requested that money be telegraphed him at once. The desired funds could not be sent to him betore yesterday afternoon. In the meantime, the boys of the party made the most of their time in Forest Grove. They rested from the efTects of their last Bo-mile stretch of tramping and camping between Tillamook and Gales Creek, and came to, Portland by nil lata In tha afternoon, looking at fresh and fit as if they had been out for a day's excursion Instead of being back from a 256-mile trip, more man half of which had been made on foot. Boys Get Benefit. All nhnwert however, the improve ment of 10 days out-door exercise and discipline, in their clear brown skins and muscles worKea aown o me nn eit edee bv hard and steady training. Richard Dent the heavyweight of the crowd, proudly announced the loss of 15 pounds of surplus welgnt unaer me rieror of the trio. Leaving Portland Monday, August 21, the first part of the trip was made on hoard tne steamer monarcn iu As toria. The remainder of the Journey along the coast to Bayocean and Tula mook and across to Forest Grove, a distance of 130 miles, was covered on foot. Each boy carried his blankets on his back. A packhorse was taken along to bear the cooking utensils and unnlies. No tents were used, but the boys rolled up in their blankets about the campfire and slept as sounaiy un der the open sky as if in their beds at home. Clambake Is Feature. At Bayocean they were entertained with a clambake, and during the re mainder of their Journey, they impro vised amusement for themselves around the campfire by calling upon different members of the party to en tertain them with impromptu "stunts." Fishing was indulged in with some success wherever the opportunity of fered. The party was divided into three squads, who dubbed themselves the Heathens, the Indians and the Pirates, and the rivalry between the different groups kept interest high throughout the hike. - This hike is the last long one that will be . arranged for this year, al though several shorter trips are planned for the coming month. Members of the party were: J. C. Meehan, director; O. G. Raymond and Guy Johnson, assistant directors. "Heathens Assistant leader, Richard Dent; Leanar" Wright, Louis M.

MONMOUTH, Or, Sept 2. (Special.) The outlook for the reopening of the Normal is good, and from the present information received at the president's office Indications are for a large num ber at the entrance enrollment, which ha been set for September 18. Several members of the faculty are on the ground getting familiar with the ac commodations for their respective work and the remaining teachers are expect ed soon. The librarian, Mrs. Jacobsoa, has been working up her department for the past two months, cataloguing the books, and listing the additions as planned by the regents. The faculty and the citizens, through the- Commercial Club, are arranging a public reception for visiting friends attending the opening day, which is set tor Tuesday, September 19. Committees will meet the trains and. escort visitors over the grounds, and inspect buildings. A basket dinner will be served in the campus grove, after which a short programme, with brief addresses by several prominent men of the state, will be made. It is thought that many of the old alumni and other friends from over the state, who worked hard for the . re-establishment of the old school, will find much pleas ure in witnessing the first opening, and special effort will be made for their comfort and entertainment. STEAMSHIP LINE HEAD DUE B. JT. Baker, of Baltimore, Will Visit Portland September 14. According to a letter received yester day by J. N. Teal, counsel for the trans. portatiOn committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce; B. N. Baker;, ex. president of the Atlantic Transport Line and a retired capitalist of Balti more, Md., will visit Portland Thurs day, September 14. Mr. Baker is now interested in a plan to establish a line of steamers from the Atlantic to the Pacifio Coast, via the Panama Canal, and his visit to the Pacific Coast this month has to do with that project. It was Mr. Baker who, during the Cuban War. presented to the United States Government a completely equipped hospital ship. He made a similar presentation to the English government during the Boer War. ' DOWN -TOWN CHURCH Authorizes Sale of Property. The corner of Seventh and Yamhill, occupied by the Unitarian Church, is offered for sale on very attractive terms. This quarter block is business property, adjoins the Heillg Theater, is opposite the Portland Hotel, and is rap idly increasing in value. The price de cided upon by the trustees is lower than the price of any other property in that part of the city.

HEALTH BOARD FORMING BOARD MAY ELECT SCHOOL IN SPECTORS MONDAY. Dr. Wheeler Likely to Be Kept as Chief Dr. S. M. Gellert. His Aide, Has Good Record. Reorganization of the City Health Office is in progress, and early . this week, in all probability, the Board of Health w'll'be called together to elect school Inspectors for the Fall term, which will open next Monday morning. As Health Officer 'Wheeler was un prepared at the last regular meeting to make his recommendations, the subject was delayed for a few days. It is probable that the staff will be in creased this year. The Board employed four inspectors of schools last year and one nurse. The plan this term, it Is said, contemplates the addition of one or two inspectors and one new nurse. These features will be discussed when the Board meets in special session. Dr. Wheeler, It seems evident, will retain his position as City HeaIthOffi cer, at least until the second test of the new crematory Is concluded, about January I, 1912. Dr. S. M. Gellert has already been selected to be Dr. Wheeler's assistant, and has assumed hi& new duties. He was formerly a member of the staff of school inspectors and has a good record. It was Inadvertently published yester day that . he was discharged for im proper action while serving in that capacity. Another former inspector was guilty of the offense. Dr. Gellert takes the place made vacant by the vesta-nation of Dr. jr. H. uammascn, who Is going to Europe for a six months' nostaraduate course. N. M.

And the parents doing remarkably well. Time is narrowing down for a Survival of the Fittest in the automobile business. The cheaply built car and the "stock affair5' are on the toboggan. Hysterical buying is no more. The public is vociferous in its demand for the high-class, low-cost car, hence the Mitchell star is still in the ascendency. We've added two handsome and robust "babies" to the Mitchell line and arc now equipped to show the American public that hoggish profits constitute a commercial crime, and that any concern that is sound in the pocket and sound in the head can live on a reasonable merchandising margin and still keep on improving. Two New Mitchell Babies: The Mitchell Five-Passenger Six PA Cylinder Family Touring Car, at- PX$ OV The Mitchell Two -Passenger smart CJQCjri gentleman's Roadster, at - - $yJJ These two cars are real automobiles, not skinny road pests. They've got the real Mitchell blood in them. They are the work of a factory that has never experimented at public expense, and 6ells its goods on merit instead of bunk. The new 5-passenger Six at $1,750 is no experiment. We've been building Sixes for years and we know how. We are pioneers in the making of the moderate-priced Six the only concern in the world that ever put a Big Six on the market for 'so little money as $2,250. The Light Six is a little brother of the Big Six, and it's got all the Mitchell blood and breeding. Take your $1,750 elsewhere and what do you get for it? An ordinary, cheaply built, carefully skinned four cylinder car of doubtful horse power and uncertain parentage, or a stock affair thrown together by people who haven't had a finger in the making of one solitary part of it. This car is going to destroy public faith in list prices and we are tickled to death that we are the ones to force the show down. We will never be able to make as many of these cars as the public will demand. We know that now. . The 2-passenger roadster is a revelation. It has full 25 horse power and 100 inch wheel base. It is a full grown automobile. It is full of styleroguish, dapper, dainty vet muscled like a Hercules, and built for Service, not to compete with the cheap runabouts that have- made millions for repair men. bo now that the Mitchell line reads nice tnis: Mitchell 2-passenger gentleman's 25 h. p. roadster, at . . .

Not a high-priced car in the lot Every one within the range of reason. AH built sanely, solidly and stylishly. Show us a line of car at any price, we don't care how high, that i any better than this one. You can't do it to save your soul. 1 Every one of these cars is built of the finest materials that this world has ever produced. One maker of auto mobiles considers it good advertising to say that his car is built with chrome nickel steeL It makes us laughWe use it as a matter of coarse. We know there is nothing else that will do quite as well and we re cranks on line materials. That man might as well have said that his wheels are round and expect the public to go crazy over it The maker who doesn t use i it .is skmninf hts car or producing a hine-spot. We maintain extensive laboratories for the analysis of materials and we don t take anybody s say-so. Mitchell cars are equipped with top. Splitdorf dual ignition, five lamps, generator, hom, jack and tools. Extra demountable rim with the light Six. All cars equipped with fore doors, and designed to" prevent excess heat for those occupying front seats. No top on the $950 runabout Is that all No. that isn't all The justly celebrated MITCHELL SERVICE comes in right here. It's the biggest thing that has ever been done in the automobile business. It means that the parent house of Mitchell-Lewis keeps in touch with every Mitchell owner. We furnish a new part free for every part that proves defective. And we want you to know that no repair man ever built any houses on what he made out of Mitchell cars. Every one of these branches is equipped with Trouble Men expert mechanics, not dubs, whose business it is to see how your, car is behaving because, our interest begins in you when you buy and ceases only when you pass away. We are running this business like Marshall Field ran his up to the day of his death, and we will hang on to public respect until the bad place freezes over. : - Now, you've got our creed and our promise.
