BOISE SHOWING RESULTS iarge Car Constructed and Assigned to Work In Lumber Camps of Idaho Develops Interest In Association Labor. FOREST GROVE. On. Jan. 11. (Spe cial.) With 150 delegates present, the 13th annual convention. Young Men's Christian Association of Oregon and Idaho, opened In this city Friday even ins at the Congregational Church, President Fletcher Homdn, of Willam ette University, president of the last convention, presiding-. The opening services were led by H. tV. Stone, of Portland, general secre tary, followed by the appointment of the committees on credentials and nominations. Alfred C. Schmitt, vice president of the First National Bank, of Albany, and chairman of the sta.j executive committee, submitted the an nual report of that body," a synopsis of which shows great advancement in tne -work of the association during the year Just ended. Great interest was aroused in the Y. M. C. A. throughout Idaho, by means of the eight-day campaigns of the "Men and Religion Movement." Boise proving the most fruitful In results. Four conferences for older boys were held during the year, two in Southern Idaho, which were attended by 650 dif ferent boys. One In Southern Oregon was attended by 72 delegates, repre senting nearly every town In the, dis trict covered. , In the establishing of new associa tions. Baker takes the lead, the Y. M. C A. building now under construction there, and which will be completed about the middle of March, promising to be one of the handsomest structures In the city and one of the neatest ap pearing In the Northwest. A combined city and Industrial building was opened In December at Harrison, Idaho, which cost about $6000. The newest associa tion la at Albany, where a suitable building, containing a gymnasium and other social rooms, has been secured and is being remodeled for temporary use, the intention being to erect a suitable building in the near future. In the industrial fields, considerable work has been done at Kellogg and at Arrowrock, Idaho. An additional build ing has been opened at camp No. 3, on the Celllo canal project, and a club house Is being maintained at Bull Run. on the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company lines. A large car has been constructed and assigned to work in the lumber camps of the Potlatch Lumber Company in. Idaho. This is the first effort of this kind undertaken in that state. The financial report of the associa tion shows receipts amounting to $9946, from various sources, which has been entirely expended In the work of the organisation. For 1913 it Is estimated that approximately $11,500 will be needed to continue the projects now under way and to further extend the work of the association, In Oregon and Idaho. Rev. John H. Boyd spoke at the opening services on "The Bible in Its Relation to Education." John P. Congdon, a civil engineer of Boise, was elected chairman of the convention; Carl Sox, an attorney of Albany, first assistant, and Professor H. L. Bates, of Pacific University, sec ond assistant. Raymond Robbins spoke at the Con gregational Church on "The Efficient Christian and the Social Message." and Fred B. Smith, the noted evangelistic worker, upon "Abounding In This Grace Also." The noon meeting for men was addressed by E. W. Peck, who spoke to a crowded house. STEAMER RUTH BEACHED LOSS OF CARGO OF PAPEll WILL BE 90 PER CENT. Gladstone Scene of Grounding After River Craft Hits Gravel Bar at Willamette Rapids. OREGON CITY. Or., Jan. 11. (Spe cial.) With her wheel under water and two-thirds of her hull submerged, the steamer Ruth, with a cargo of $12, 000 worth of paper, is beached near Gladstone. The loss to the paper is about 90 per cent and the steamer is badly damaged. The Ruth, which is the property of the Willamette Navi gation Company, about 8 o'clock this morning struck a gravel bar at the Willamette rapids, tearing a hole In her hull. Her captain, Fred Hegdale, real izing that the craft was badly dam aged, steared for Gladstone - and beached, the steamer. The paper was from the mills of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company and the Crown-Columbia Paper Company. B. T: McBaln, mill manager of the Wil lamette Pulp & Paper Company, said that the paper which had been damaged could be made over, but the salvage would be small. The boat will be saved, although the cost of raising and repairs probably will amount to sev- RIVER STEAMER WRECKED YESTERDAY. gam $ ' - - RVTH BEACHED AFTER STRIKING ROCK IN CLACKAMAS RAPIDS ,. eral thousand dollars. Both steamer and cargo were fully insured. Upon striking the bar the steamer whistled for aid, and the steamer Annie Comings, which was coming to this city from Portland, soon stood by. The steamer N. R. Lang, also en route from Portland, answered the call for help in less than half an hour. There was nothing, however, the other boats could do, for the Ruth had been beached be fore their arrival and the crew was never in danger. Announcement was made tonight that the work of unload ing the disabled vessel would be begun at once, and she would be repaired as soon as possible. The Ruth left the locks here at 7 o'clock this morning bound for Portland. AROUND THE WORLD.

Certainly a person afflicted with a wast ing disease should be well fed with whole some, nourishing food, but frequently raw egs in quantities cause a digestive break down, and then no food nourishes.

Total Cost of Packing and Selling to Association Figured at $29,825, According to Report. EUGENE, Or., Jan. 11. (Special.) More than 17,000 cases of fruits and vegetables were canned the past year by the plant of the Eugene Fruitgrow ers' Association, according to the re port of Manager Holt, read before the stockholders at their annual meeting here today. Of the produce packed, all but 3000 cases had been sold by the first of the year. -The total cost of packing and selling was $29,825. Early indications that the prune and cherry crops would be short induced the association to turn greater atten tion than usual to the canning of vege tables. The pumpkin output of the Eugene cannery was probably one of the largest in the state. Cabbage- was put up In various sized cans as kut. and is finding a ready sale, as consumers generally are be coming educated away from the ordi nary kraut barrel of the corner gro cery. If the demand seems to warrant, kraut and bacon and kraut and sausage will be canned. Of all the products of the association, four find markets east of the Rocky Mountains; the rest have to depend on the local and Northwest markets. Ore gon pears, by reason of their high qual ity, can be shipped into the Mlpsissfppl Valley and there command double' the price of the local product. Red rasp berries, loganberries and cherries are the three that are also able to compete In the Eastern markets because of their superior quality. The Lane County beets have proved to give an extra quality of canned product. The total number of tons of vege tables canned in 1912 was 268, as com pared with 69 for the previous year, and of berries that were canned in 1912, 147 tons, as compared with 44 for the year before. The aggregate pack of fruits and vegetables will fill 46 cars. Directors were elected as follows: H. F. McCornack. F. B. Chase, George A. Dorris, M. H. Harlow, Ernst Miller, J. Beebe, F. B. Harlow, J. O. Holt and John Thramer. The directors re-elected the officers of last year, who are: H. F. McCornack, president; J. Beebe, vice-president; First National Bank, treasurer; J. O.
