Last Sunday afternoon a party of well-known Ralner people, tlir&e women and four men, while returning from Rhinearson Slough in a lartjie gas oline launch, ran afoul of the sub mersed Government jetty. The launch sank in a few moments, barely giving tne occupants time to don life pre servers. Had the owner of the launrn. Mr. Dunham, been as careless about providing ;ife preservers as are a isreat many several of the party would cer tainly have drowned. As it was the party floated down the river for almost an hour before being picked up by a fisherman who heard their cries. Several years ago a crowd of young people ran on to this same Jetty while returning to Mayger from a dance at Rainier, and several of the party lost their lives. At intervals throughout the year the Ignited States Customs Office sends an officer down the river for the purpose of arresting fishermen, loggers and lum bermen who fail to display lights on their bc-ats, rafts and docks, all of which are above the surface of the river, yet this jetty is allowed to re main as it has been for several years. "Deadhead" logs are also allowed to re main in the river, just as long as they are not in main ship channel. Fishermen in the neighborhood of Rhinearson can tell you numerous stories of narrow escape on the sub merged Jetty. Do you not think that Bomethlng .should be done to mark it? A READER. I Y; cr-.

WAR AD FORUMG OF REPUBLIC LAID TO ASSOCIATION. Chl-cheh Mrh, Member Part? Which Visited Portland, Says Oreanlsatlen Is Leaven of Nation. The force which plunged the Chinese empire into a revolution which within the past two years has overturned one of the oldest dynasties In the world, and has brought China with a start out of her Oriental seclusion and started her in the path of progress, accosdlng to the Occidental ideals, found its source In the Y. M. C. A. This fact has not been generally an nounced to the world, even by the mis sionaries who have come back to China, but it was vouched for as true by an Indisputable authority a few weeks ago in Portland. The man who made the statement was Hon. Chi-cheh Nieh, vice-chairman of the Honorary Chinese Commerce Com mission, which visited Portland after a tour of the entire United States. Chl cheh Nieh Is general director of the Hong Foong Cotton Company, of Shang hai, a multi-millionaire, and a director of the Y. M. C. A. in China and an earnest advocate of the movement of modern progress in the new republic "Christianity did not become a prac tical force among the upper classes of the Chinese until the Y. M. C. A. began to gain a foothold in China," he said. "Christianity itself made slow progress under the missionaries of the various denominations until the Y. M. C. A. came to China. "Here was an organization that showed us the practical application of the ideal of the Christian race, the movement toward freedom, toward effi cient organization, the spirit of sacri fice of self to an ideal and to others. For the first time the better classes of the Chinese could see where the new religion applied to them and to their lives and to the life of China. , "The old religions of China have been breaking down in the past two genera tions and something new must take their place. This, it appears, has been and will be Christianity. "The revolution may have started, ao far as some of the leaders were con cerned, in the great universities of other lands. It was the influence of the Y. M. C. A., however, which 'gave to large masses of the Chinese people the ideal, the cohesiveness. the willingness to sac rifice for an ideal., and. above all. the practical ability to organize and execute a great project, all of which really made it possible to carry the revolution through to success. "A short time ago we held in China the Olympic games of the Far East, in which all of the Oriental nations were competing. I was one of the members of the board of directors "of those games. won nrsi place, the Philippines second and Japan third. The inspira tion that produced these games, which marked an epoch in the new history of the Far East, and the organization and training that carried them through, must be traced again directly to the Y. M. C. A. "Whatever influences may have been at work on single individuals who have figured In the recent history of China, the leaven that has been working in the whole lump has been the Y. M. C. A., and it may be said with much truth that modern civilization was taught to China and the Far East chiefly thro'igh that influence." PERSONALMENTION.' G. J. Ekre. of Seattle, is at the Nor tonia.

Snap Judgment Don't buy a tire on somebody's snap judg ment He may have had rare luck. One tire meets mishap or misuse and other tires escape them. But the best-built tire will serve best on the average. Better trust the seasoned judgment of motorists in general. Goodyear' tires out sell any other after 16 years. They have held top place for long. And this year their good repute is adding thousands to our users. Quantity Values In Goodyears you get quantity values. Despite our extras, our mammoth output brings our prices down. In two years our price reductions have totaled 45 per cent. This year's reduction saves our users about five million dollars.
