All Portland sweltered yesterday
from the heat wave that swept the
entire Pacific Northwest and which
reached a maximum of 94 degrees
locally at 3 P. M.
Hundreds flocked to the bathing pa
vilions and thousands of others sought
relief at the parks. Forecaster Beals
predicts a continuance of the heat wave
for at least two or three days, although
a moderation in temperature is his
forecast for today.
The turnstiles at every water resort
In the Willamette River commenced
revolving as early at 8:30 yesterday
morning and the crowds that sought
the relief of a cooling swim more than
doubled the number of those on last
year's hottest day.
The harbor patrol, with Captain
Bpeier In charge, was busy on the river
all day yesterday and late last night
rescuing those who embarked in
canoes, to be spilled later into the
water with the first gust of wind. By
7 o'clock in the evening not a canoe
or light rowboat could be rented at
any of the boathouses on the riverfront.
Many Crafts oa River.
A glance over the Willamette re
vealed a fleet of several hundred "fool
klllers" floating idly down the river
with the current. Most or tne occu
pants of these crafts were dressed in
light bathing suits as a further re
lief from the heat.
U is estimated that more than 2000
gallons of Ice cream were consumed
in Portland yesterday, and another 2000
gallons was shipped out of the city to

At one place where an ice wagon

nearly half the amount that the Asso
ciated Charities has asked from the
public with which to carry on the
Fresh Air campaign.
The campaign has been running only
two weeks this year, but the financial
contributions already are 8400 greater
than they were last year and greater
Interest is displayed by the public.
Of the two parties that returned yes
terday, the first to reach home were the
half dozen boys that Chester A. Lyons
had taken for two weeks to his farm
near Lebanon. Brown as hazelnuts
with tan were the boys, and everyone
of them weighed several pounds more
than when they left Portland.
Their vacation on Mr. Lyons" farm
had been under regimen similar to that
of the boy scout parties, and the
healthy, happy appearance of the
youngsters Indicated how well It had
agreed with them.
Second Party To Be Taken.
Professor Lyons will remain over In
Portland today and will organize a
party tomorrow to return for two
weeks more on his farm. He expects
to have about 12 or IB boys in this
crowd.
The llwaco beach crowd, 23 children
in all, declined to leave the seashore
on the day set, which was Friday, but
came back to the city reluctantly on
the late train yesterday, every child
laden with plunder from the sea and
gifts of generous men and women who
entertained the party.
"I Just can't scarcely carry this suit
case," lamented one lad as he per
spired and tugged at his luggage on
the way from the train. "It is plumb
full of Jelly that the lady gave me.
It has been practically settled by the
good people of llwaco that most of the
children are to be their guests on a
Fresh Air outing again next year. Some
of the people have asked the privilege
of keeping the children that were sent
them for a longer period this year and
one little girl has the promise of per
manent employment there when she is
a year or two older. Efforts also are
being made by the committee, of which

Organization of the next Fresh Air
party to go out, besides Mr. Lyons
party of boys, will be made as soon as
definite arrangements for a place to
send It can be made. More than 100
applicants are on the list, and the
party is to be only about 60 strong.
R. E. Arne, assistant secretary of
the Associated Charities, went, to Mc

VINEGAR SWINDLE WORKED
Housewives Made Victims by Solici
tors, Says Mr. Mickle.
PORTLAND, Or., July 18. (To the
Editor.) It has come to our attention
that certain salesmen are going from
house to house soliciting orders from
housewives for vinegar, recommending
h articular brand which they, sell
as a very high-class article. House
wives generally understand that tne
nrnHiiii known as cider vinegar Is the
one best adapted to household and ta
ble use and therefore the article tney
desire, and such orders as may be
given are usually for cider vinegar.
This office has required In all cases
where sales are made In this way mat
the party making such sale shall place
upon the container of said vinegar a
label plainly and truthfully stating the
kind of vinegar sold. However, we find
that when the vinegar is delivered by
these parties the deliveryman very ac
commodatingly takes the vinegar Jug
down to the basement and there places
thereon a small sticker giving infpr
matlon as to the kind of vinegar con
tained in the receptacle. Perhaps a
week or a month later the housewife
has occasion to use some of the late
purchase and if for any reason she
should read the printed matter upon
the sticker she comes to know that
Instead of having cider vinegar deliv
ered to her she has been given a mix
ture of distilled vinegar and elder v n
egar, probably 75 per cent distilled vin
egar and 25 per cent cider.
Many women dislike the notoriety of
going Into court and giving testimony,
and especially when the only evidence
in the case would be the testimony oi
herself against that of the party who
made the sale, his evidence being sup
ported by the sticker placed upon the
container; but without the evidence of
persons who have been swindled In this
way the department Is helpless.
Therefore, we wish to suggest to all
who give orders for vinegar to be de
livered at their .residences to be very
particular about the kind of ylnegar
ordered and require of the party who
takes the order that a duplicate of the
order be left at the house; also be care
ful to read the label at the time of
delivery. Then ir tne itino.
delivered does not correspond with that
which was ordered, the order .Up will
