By act of Congress the American Red Cross is the only voluntary or ganization whose services would be ac cepted in time of war. This fact makes it necessary to adopt Red Cross first aid methods. To do so successfully, registered Red Cross nurses and regu larly appointed Red Cross physicians will be instructors in all first aid work. The. National Service Schocl will at tempt to give women such training under military and Red Cross instruc tors as will make them available in oases of emergency state or National. There will be set schedules of classes, which will be held in American Red Cross first aid in the morning from 8:30 to 1? o'clock. The course con sists of 15 lessons and is obligatory. The text books used are "First Aid to the Injured" and "Elementary Hy giene and Home Care of the Sick, pub lished by the American Red Cross, Washington. D. C but carried by the J. K. Gill Company.

Trio of Portland Men Scale Mount Chinldere, Monnt Defiance and Green Point Mountain. Chester Treichel, Dean Van . Zandt and Clement Blakney, of the Mohawk Athedial Club, have qualified for moun tain climbers extraordinary and their triple achievement las Sunday, when they scaled Mount Chinidere, Mount De fiance and Green Point Mountain all in one day, has stood thus far undis puted as one of the most strenuous day's outings chronicled this year. The fe&.t, it is contended, has not been du plicated by any outing party, and the three boys are anxiously awaiting con tradiction to their claim before set ting it up as absolute. The trio left Portland Saturday night. August 5, for Herman Creek range station, starting their, hike and climb from there. Mount Chinidere was reached shortly after midnight, the summit being scaled by 2:40 o'clock Sunday morning. The summit is 4666 feet high. Leaving there soon after, they reached Green Point Mountain shortly after daylight, making the sum mit at 7:40 o'clock. Green Point has an altitude of 4720 feet. Mount Defiance, the last peak to be scaled, was attained at 10:45 o'clock in the morning. This peak is 4960 feet up. The mountains are between six and seven miles apart. The three climbers believe the trip was the first one in which three moun tains were scaled under similar cir cumstances all in one trip. Anyone who has duplicated it has been asked to make the feat known. The Mohawk climbers left records on the tops of the mountains.

I OLDEST HOUSE IN COW CREEK VALLEY PASSES Obstruction of March of Progress On Modern Farm Is Destroyed by- Fire. frrrr TTTT pax ZLHJ SERVICE, aa the Hup mobile owner knows it, and service as it is generally understood, axe two radically different things. No other car is cared for as the Hupmobile is cared for. No other service plan is like the Hupmobile service plan. ' Hupmobile service is an in timate, intensified system of supervision. It keeps , the owner and his car in close and continuous contact with the service station. 1 The service station sees to it that every Hupmobile is tuned up to concert pitch all the time. All at no cost to the owner. He pays with coupons which we supply without cost when he purchases his car. The coupons cover four hours of service labor by trained Hupmobile experts, each month for eight months. , Service That Covers Every Part of the Car L. A. AUrich of Mellette. S. D., jcrps this service is a great help to Hupmobile onmert. When you drive up to the service station, one of the things that is given as a mat ter of course is an inspection of the steering gear and a test of the brake adjust ment. A. C. Koch of Chicago mile thai our plan makes the initial pleasure of owning a car a con stant pleasure. The alignment of the front wheels is checked up. and the front wheel bearings are examined for play. George P. Edmonds of Chicago finds this the most satisfactory service arrangement he has en countered in his experience ivilh' three different cars. Distilled water is added to the storage battery, and the specific gravity of the bat tery is tested to determine that it is fully charged. Spark plugs, wiring termi nals, ignition distributer, generator and starting motor are gone over. Grease cups are turned down. Motor, transmission and differential are supplied with new lubri cant when necessary the owner of course paying for oils and greases. 99 Per Cent Efficient Say 11,000 Owners W. P. W. Martin of Los An gelesi Cal., says our service sys tem should put us on a firm fool ing of friendship Tvith Hupmo bile owners. And so it does. We receive thousands of unsolicited let ters from them. m ltatm Cm Bmtk Standard Hupmobile Performance GOES to a speed of 25 miles an hour, from a stand, in 10 seconds.

That is how we know that 50 81 0 per cent of Hupmo bile owners buy our car year after year. That is how we know that 24 210 per cent of those now owning Hupmobiles have been won away from higher priced cars by Hup mobile performance, effici ency, service, and thorough going goodness. Why Buy Any Car Lacking Such Service ? Is it worth anything to you to have a car whose care never gives you a moment's distress A car which keeps you serenely and continu ously satisfied That is what the Hupmobile , owner has. He enjoys the tremendous advantage of ex pert care. He is, in short, the most contented of owners. Can you afford even to think of buying any car that does not offer the equal of Hup mobile service?.

RIDDLE. RIDDLE. Or Aug. 12. (Special.) Fire has destroyed the oldest house In Cow Creek valley, a his toric hewn-log structure erected In 1S52 on his donation-claim by W. H. Riddle, who was the second settler In the valley, having acquired the land in 1851. Mr. Riddle crossed the plains with his family, by ox teams, in the early '50s and helped to settle up the West. This old log house has had as guests in its time such honored men in Ore gon history as W. G. P. Vault, editor of the first newspaper in the state, and General Joseph Lane, the first Governor of Oregon. It was the house "magnificent" when Thomas J. Deyer and Asahel Bush, territorial printer, gave their memorable political speeches in Cow Creek valley. Just across the creek from the log house, in the early years of settlement. lived the once famous band of Cow Creek Indians. Although known in his tory as revengeful and treacherous. these Indians were always friendly with the family in the log house. In 1855, when they joined the Rogues in a raid through Cow Creek and Umpqua Valleys they came across the creek to tell (Lumpty and Muligould) the aged man and woman, in their language, that they themselves would never harm them, but that other Indians might, and that they had better go away for a while, which they did. The donation claim on which this old log house had stood for so many years is now known as Glenbrook Farm, one of the most highly improved farms of Douglas County. It has a large prune orchard, a big steam dryer, and many other up-to-date improve ments. The log bouse was burned to give way to the march of progress before which It was an obstruction. Oregon sandstone is better adapted for use in the new Portland postoffice and can be delivered in Portland much cheaper than the Bedford stone which the Democratic Congressmen of Indiana are trying to force the Government to use. This is the emphatic assertion of Charles Hegele, a member of the firm of Hegele & Riedle, owners and oper ators of extensive stone quarries near Sutherlin. in Douglas County. The Sutherlin quarries have been in operation for several years, and some of the best buildings in the southern part of the state are constructed of its products. Recently the United States Depart ment of Commerce conducted a series of investigations on the Sutherlin stone and reported that the tests showed high state of efficiency and usefulness. The Sutherlin stone Is extremely hard and when treated presents an attractive grayish-blue surface. Jt is fireproof and almost indestructible. The Gov ernment's tests show that its maximum moisture absorption is only 1.66 per cent. The absorption of some of the Eastern stones is fully 10 per cent. The question of absorption. Mr. He gele points out, is an important one. I believe, says Mr. Hegele, "that nature provides each locality with ma terlals of the precise quality that it needs. Oregon sandstone Is best adapt ed to Oregon buildings. It would be mistake to ship Indiana sandstone out here. It probably would be best for the Indiana climat. but it is not suited to the Oregon climate. ' The question of freight rates, too, i an important factor in this connection The Sutherlin stone can be delivered here for less than S 2 a ton. The freigh on the Indiana stone will cost fully $30 a ton. These facts have been submitted to the members of the Oregon delegation In Congress. It is probable that a vig orous campaign will be started in Port land and in other parts of Oregon to obtain the use of native stone for the building. CHAPMAN FUNERAL IS SET Member of Pioneer Family Will Be Buried Monday. The funeral of Charles W.
