Eleven were In the party of fresh air children who left Portland yester day morning from the Union Depot to enjoy two weeks At Nehalem. R. E. Arne. assistant secretary of the Asso ciated Charities, escorted the children to the depot. The party went as fur as Wheeler, and was met there by Captain A. I. Bash and taken by launch to Nehalem. The beaches are looked forward with especial eagerness by the children who apply for places in the fresh air par ties, a surprising number of whom have never before seen the ocean. Two of the lads, who were in the Ilwaco party which returned last week, came back yesterday asking if they could not be sent to the beach once more. "A man named Ben .Baker, he said bed like to have one of us stay with him for several months and dig clams and gather cranberries," said "Alonzo," the elder of the two. "I'd be willing to walk there if you can tlx it up sure ao he'd take me." It aeemed, though, that Mr. Baker had not suggested taking two boys, and argument between Alonzo and Bob, his little brother, reached an almost hostile atage, when they came to determining Just which one had been invited. Finally, Alonzo Baid that he thought it was probably Bobbie. "There's another fellow named Tinker that might let me come and stay with him for a while," he finally said, hope fully. "Why don't you write to him?" sug gested V. R. Manning, secretary of the Associated Charities. "That might be a good idea." ad mitted Alonzo, and, procuring a pencil, he laboriously produced the following: "dear friend Mr Tinker I want to now If you will keap me at your house all Winter and I want to pick cramberyea for you and I will go to school there good by that is all I have to sy please answer write away Alonzo" Alonzo May Win Trip. The fresh air folk are going to make an efTort to see that Alonzo gets an other chance at the beach. Another ward of the freah air fund for whom transportation to Pendleton Is to be arranged Is "Charlie." a yellow haired 2-year-old. who was taken to Silverton in charge of a 12-year-old girl, who was no relation to him. The father deserted and the mother Is in the hospital. Since his return from Silverton, Charles has been In charge at the office of the Associated Chari ties. It has been ascertained that he has a grandmother in Pendleton who will take care of him. and those look ing out for the destines of Charlie de sire to get in touch with someone who is going to Pendleton, who wlll.be willing to take the little fellow to Tils grandmother. Among the donations announced yes terday was the promise of the use of an automobile for tho season by Mrs. J. G. Keller and a box of clothing from Mrs. Prank Powers. 140 Already Sent Oat. Three weeks' activity in the fresh air movement this year has brought the number of the children sent out for vacations up to 149. The plan has been to send out 50 a week during the season. Of those sent out. the parties were distributed as follows: Silverton S3. Ilwaco 21, Columbia Camp 12. Lyons Camp at Lebanon 12. various farms 16, Lebanon 1. Nehalem 11, Salem 3, Mc Minnville I. TIgard 3. Oregon City 2. Wall (Washington) 1. Albany 2. Cor vallis 3. Tillamook 5 and Canby 1. Parties will be sent out in this week to Newberg. Dallas, Carlton and Inde pendence. Newberg will receive 15 and Dallas 5. Carlton has not yet an nounced how many It will take, and it is estimated that Independence will handle about 50. The fund has reached a total of $1852, and probably will pass the J2000 mark tomorrow. Freah Air Site Scanned. Secretary Manning went yesterday to Investigate some property that had been regarded as a possible place for the fresh air farm which the Associated Charities has been contemplating since the opening of the movement In 1913. It is expected that the contributions this year will be about $3000. Out of this, expenses for fresh air outings for about 500 children will be paid, and it Is hoped that sufficient funds will be received over and above these imme diate expenses to make the purchase of the fresh air farm. The plan Is to obtain about ten acres in the vicinity of Portland and there establish a fresh air colony similar to the Life Fresh Air Farm. When this has been arranged there will be no longer the necessity of canvassing the entire state to secure places to which children and tired working mothers may be sent in hot midsummer for rest and recuperation. Ranch Hand Sues for $5000. Charging that he was ordered to per form work that ruined his health, al though he protested against it. John McGillivray yesterday started suit against the Sun Dial Ranch, asking $6000 damages. He alleges he was poisoned by arsenic while preparing a solution to be applied to sheep on the ranch that suffered from foot rot. As a result of his employment, he says, he became sick and unable to work, being confined to the hospital for an ex tended period. j??csf jSoy y&w JXrc t?wrr AFRESH air farm has been estab lished at Lebanon. Or., by Ches ter A. Lyons, who is attempting to work out the children's problems in a new way. Mr. Lyons has not unlimited means, but he has boundless enthusiasm and on his 20-acre tract he has established a colony for boys between the ages of 12 and 14 years. The farm lies a mile and a half south of Lebanon. This is probably the first fresh air farm in Oregon. Mr. Lyons does not allow his boys to devote all their time to pleasure: he has work for them to do. Each one has a task to perform each day and after this is done an hour Is devoted to "heart-to-heart" talks between Mr. Lyons and the boys. The man hopes by these talks to give the boys ideas and ideals which may prove .invaluable to them in later life. The boys respond to the talks wonderfully and do their best to make everything as congenial as possible. After the work of the day is done a campfire is built at 8 o'clock. At 9 all the boys are In bed. Mr. Lyons has a one-room house on his tract which he calls his office and it is here that the boys come each day to get their work assignments. Mr. Lyons, who was Instructor and principal in the Mill City school last a . MyaKw ai TOT LOOKS TO FRESH-AIR FOLK TO SEND HIM TO GRAND MA IN PENDLETON. : "CHARLIE." ASSOCIATED ' vear has dealt with the children's prob lem for many years. He received his education in Illinois, where he worked with Jane Addams. of Hull House, and in the stockyard district of Chicago gaining information and training which have been invaluable In his charity work. He believes that with the open ing of the Panama Canal that Oregon will have a real problem to race anu he is eauinnliiK himself for service. His farm lies in a verdant valley at the foothills of the Cascade range. A mile away is Peterson's Butte, one of the high points of the valley. Sodaviue, Waterloo and Sweet Home are all with in walking distance and numerous hikes are taken by the boys. The boys are found in Portland by means of the Associated Charities. They are selected from the homes which are in the worst condition, for it is the aim of the benefactor to give aid where it Is needed. As soon as the boys reach camp they are required to arrange their tents and take a bath. The bathroom adjoins the office and each boy is re quired to "swim" every day. Note Suit Decided. Judge Bell, in District Court, yester day found for the plaintiff in the suit of J. B. Nash vs. W. W. Hale. This was an action to recover J175 on a prom issory note.

This brought the project again into the limelight Projeet Laid Aalgr. About eight years ato the project was first brought prominently before Ongresa and at that time an appropri ation seemed possible, but some ma neuvering In politics In Washington caused this project t" be laid aside, while others were developed. During these years tho people of this psrt of the state have been continually fight Ing to have the project sgsln slated for an appropriation. Mr. McCullough snld some time ago that his report to the (iovernment on the resurvey would be ready about th middle of July. He said he was wetf pleased with the character of the land.. soil and climate of this district. Ha has said that reservoir sites havo bean fjund at Rock Lake. Washington, an. I at Potlatch. Idaho.
