Henry Herman, a fisherman of Prosper, Coos County, was fined $2.50 ' in United States District Court Friday by Judge Bean, following Herman's plea of guilty to a charge of not having complied with the Federal law requiring that each motorboat be - equipped with a fire extinguisher. Her man pleaded that he had had an ex tinguisher, but had lost it. "A lost extinguisher is the same as no ex tinguisher," said Judge Bean.

They call this organisation the Port land Transportation Club and that is exactly what it is. It is a club com posed of transportation men and none other. Its membership is limited to actual bona fide employes of railroad and steamship companies. It has 371 mem bers and Is growing like the proverbial weed. Every railroad president in Portland is a member, but on the roster of the club all such officials are listed, with the minor clerks, under the common term "employe." Titles and high posi tions are not recognized when the club members get together for their busi ness meetings or for their social func tion a Thursday night the club held its an nual election. w. Merriman, local freight agent for the Southern Pacific Company, was elected president. This honor came to him, doubtless, in recog nition of his interest and activity in the affairs of the club ever since it was organized. He was ene of the organizers and a member of the first board of directors. Last year he served as vice-president. C. D. Kennedy, Vice-President. Other officers are: Vice-president, C. D.

Geary, general agent of the Rock Island passenger department, is arranging the dinner. Club's Activity Shown. The club has been exceedingly active throuerhout the Dast year, particularly in affairs that affect transportation in terests, and generally in all puouc movements. The splendid appearance of the Transportation Club In the Rose Fes tival parade, by which it won two prizes one for the best float and one for the most members in line is an incident of recent history. It Is customary through the Winter months for the club to conduct a luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel alternate Mondays. Sometimes a speaker of prominence addresses the members on a subject relative to xne transportation business, and frequent ly the programme is in the form of an entertainment designed to illustrate various elements of transportation ac tivity. Amonsr the prominent speakers who addressed the club within the last year were James J. Hill, the "Empire Builder," and C. M. Clark, chairman of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The first president or tne ciuo was L. F. Knowlton. He was succeeded by J. E. Werlein and he In turn by w. A Robbins. FAMILY , HAS REUNION MEETING IS AT HOME OF C. C. BO.

Reports from Toronto. Canada, say that Adele Blood has made an interesting selection when she chose Corlnne Reiily Barker to play fmportant roles In various productions. Miss Blood is managing her own stock company at Shea's Theater, and Corinne Rellly Barker is learning the first steps in the theatrical walk tf life. She is a Portland girl, the daughter of Charles Reiily. Portland Woman Only Member Llvingi Same Officers. With One Exception, , Have Been Chosen for 10 Years. The tenth annual reunion of the Bo zorth family was held at Woodland, Wash, Thursday. The first reunion was held at the home of C. C. Bozorth, with ISO members of the family present, 10 years ago. Since then all the family, most of whom live In Oregon, Washing ton and California, have met at Wood land. There are nearly 300 members. The officers are: Christopher C. Bozorth, president; Alfred N. Wills, vice-president; Milton B. Bozorth, sec retary-treasurer; John O. Bozorth, his torian. With the exception of ChriS' topher C. Bozorth, who died In 1912, the same officers have been re-elected from year to year. At the meeting in 1913 Howard C. Bozorth was made president of the association, and is still serving. In 1845 Squire Bozorth, with his family, came from Missouri to Oregon with an ox team. Where Portland now stands there was then only a few tents and log houses. Mrs. Emma Caroline (Bozorth) Thyng, whose home is at 789 M, East Yamhill street, Portland, Is the only member of this pioneer family now living. As she Is unable to attend regularly the meetings of the associa tion, it has been the custom for the last few years for those who find It Inconvenient to go to Woodland to meet at her home for a portion of the day. It was decided at the meeting to hold the next reunion in Portland or Vancouver so that "Aunt Caroline" could attend. IS SALEM GIRL GETS AWARD FROM COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE. Gift of f-00 Is Made to Bliss Carmen Swanson to Carry on Study In University of Oregon. Following a custom of some seven years' standing, the Portland branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae has recently offered a scholarship of J200, available for study in the Univer sity of Oregon. This scholarship is open to any girl in the state who has been graduated from a high school, and the award is based on the evidence of her health, character, ability and the promise of success in her chosen line of work. The scholarship for 1914-15 has been awarded to Miss Carmen Swanson, of Salem. Miss Swanson's record in the Salem High School has been admirable, and the committee making the award believes that the association will be well represented by her in the university. Answering the rollcall of colleges and universities In the membership list of the Portland Association of Collegiate Alumnae are women from Stanford, Wellesley, Vassar, Smith, Radcllffe, Barnard, Oberlln, Grinnell, Cornell, Northwestern, Syracuse, Chicago, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, California, Min nesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa. Ne braska, Missouri and Kansas. The founder of the Portland branch was a Stanford woman Mrs. R. I Donald and the largest number of representa tives from any single university comes from that Institution, with Wellesley and California second. The scholarship offered by the Col legiate Alumnae is awarded as a gift, not as a loan, I Visitor Asserts Beauties and Possi bilities of Surrounding: Coun try Are Unnoticed by Res idents of City. "A large percentage of you average Portlanders are lacking in one very Important regard," complained B. 8. Strong, of Ottumwa, Ia as he left the Business Men's dinner at the Mult nomah Hotel. Mr. Strong, although a vigorous man of middle-age and in the prime of life, retired from business 13 years ago. and has devoted that time to almost constant travel. "Why lacking?" he was queried. "Oh, I don't mean the entire popula tion," laughed the man from Iowa, but I believe that fully one-tnird 01 the residents of your splendid city have not as much idea of the beauty and Dosslbilities of the surrounding county as I have and I've been in Oregon Just five weeks. Business Men Questioned. "At the luncheon I have Just left I was introduced to a dozen business men and in conversation I learned that seven of them did not know that Me Mlnnvllle was beyond Forest Grove and Gaston, and one man told me, when 1 spoke of Newberg. that he had passed through that town on his way to Hills bo ro. The -eneral knowledge of Portlanders regarding that Immense and beautiful valley of the Tualatin and of the val leys beyond has been acquired from occasional glimpses from Council Crest. If we of the East and the Middle West had such pleasing environments, I am sure that we would become bette ac quainted with them, lour ignorance is almost criminal. Why." continued Mr. Strong, "tns friend with whom. I am visiting has been in Portland nine years, and while he has taken trir south on both sides of the river he never stopped off, and In solte of his otherwise intelligence and good fellowship, he is a dub. The first day I arrived my friends took me to Council Crest. We saw a string oi red cars In the distance, and when I asked the south terminal of the road neither my friend nor anyone In the party knew. The next day, being Sun day, I urged so insistently that quite a party of us took one of the most in teresting excursion riaes It nas ever been my good fortune to enjoy. Loop Trip Is Made. We went by way of Beaverton, Hlllsboro. Gaston and Carlton to Mc- Mlnnvllle, where we remained two hours, every moment being taken up In seeing something new and getting acauainted. We returned by way of Dundee, Newberg and Sherwood, on the other side of the Valley, going and coming through the very heart of a territory capable of sustaining halt a million families and of unsurpassed beauty and fertility. Our party left Portland after luncheon and returned at 7 o'clock in the evening. Just late enough for us to enjoy the grandeur of the sunset beyond the Tiuaraoo- hills, which can only be seen from the Valley or the crest of the hills west of Portland. "Since then I have passed a month in the towns between here and 11c Mlnnvllle. riding about the surround ing country, and have purchased a zoo acre farm near Gaston, which I will rent out, but upon which I will build a new residence for a Summer home. "You Portlanders should awaken to the beauties and possibilities of your own country." OFFICE IS NOT WANTED Gates Man Refuses to Ron for Con stable on Both Tickets. ALBANY. Or June 27. (Special.) J.
