FEW COMPLY WITH LAW 12 Sale Con tieues Only 65 Have Provided Xecessary Protection, for Public and Most of These Are Owners of Taxi cabs and For-Hire Cars. Jitney operators and taxicab drivers who try to continue to do business in Portland cannot satisfy the new muni cipal bonding- law by filing bonds of the California Casualty Indemnity Company a concern organized and operated by the California jitney drivers because the California Cas ualty Indemnity Company is not li censed to do business in this state. The records of the state insurance 'department at Salem reveal that this company has not even applied for a license. It is apparent, too, that it could not qualify for a license even if it applied. The new insurance code passed by the last Legislature provides that surety companies incorporated under the laws of any other state must have a paid-up capital of $250,000 and a sur plus of $100,000 to do business in Ore pon. They also must deposit with the State Treasurer money or negotiable securities In the sum of at least $25, 000. This money or security must be held by the Treasurer to satisfy the holders of obligations against such surety com panies. It is reported from California that the California Casualty Indemnity Company has a paid-up capital stock of only $27,000. Those few jitney men who have taken out bonds since the new law went Into effect have obtained them from the Aetna Insurance Company, represented here by McCarger, Bates & Lively. The same company also Is bonding the "for-hlre" cars and taxi cabs. Scores of Jitney drivers who have applied to McCarger, Bates & Lively for bonds, not being able to present satisfactory evidence of careful driving in the past, have been rejected. Only 65 drivers have filed their bonds at the City Hall. This includes mostly taxicab drivers and drivers of for-hire cars, with a few jitney drivers. Very few jitneys appeared on the streets yesterday. Most of the drivers have disposed of their machines. VETERANS PLAN PiGNIG OAKS IS LOCATIOS AND NEXT SAT URDAY THE DAY. ' - -v;ff - III 1 .

GEORGE iuWARD LEWIS, pastor of Highland Congregational Church, has resigned -o take up lecture work. Hereafter Mr. Lewis says he will preach the gospel sometimes, but will do so without pay. His experi ences in Alaska will form the nucleus for his lectures and the many motion pictures he took there and his wonder ful collection of souvenirs will make up an exhibit that will be shown in conjunction with the lectures. On a recent journey to the far North he obtained a set of moving pictures practically covering the resources trofn Ketchikan to Bristol Bay, a distance of 2200 niles. and extending 300 miles into the wild interior. He is the first to obtain pictures of the Government railroads, also of the Legislature, the Governor and his wife, the newly opened coal nelds, the schools, churches and many other phases of life. His chief desire is to show Alaska just as it is; uncolored and unadorned. Mr. Lewis is well informed on all phases of Alaskan life and industries. He has made many Journeys, each of which has been very extensive, through out the territory, and has acquainted himself with nearly all classes of citi zens from the Governor to the far in terior dog musher. Being one-fourth Seneca Indian, he learns the traits of the wild men of the forests and moun tains; and the Far North men are no exceptions to this rule. He knows the life of the 36 kinds of wild animals. the names of the 100 birds, the seven kinds of timber, the 132 wild flowers. the five kinds of grasses, the 16 kinds of berries and .the climatic conditions, as well as the sail, rail and traiL He is an authority on the work dog, on min ing copper and gold, ai.d always labors to give out authentic and rare infor mation. Rev. Mr. Lewis and his moving pic ture man, Harry S. Jones, of this city, just presented the City Museum with an Eskimo meat block, which they car ried for many hundred miles. He is the proud possessor of perhaps one of the rarest collections of Eskimo and Far North curios in existence. These were all obtained from the natives in FOOD HELP FOR WAR IS AIM Rational Association Convention to Determine Action of All. J. D.

Methods of close co-operation with the Government in Its food conserva tion campaign will be discussed, and a course of action adopted.

Organized labor will frolic at Crystal Lake Park next Sunday, July 29, when the various local unions will Join in their "liberty picnic" and make the day a memorable one in the calendar of good times.

But possess ing a frame of iron and a will of ada mant, while his other comrades faltered and returned, alone and unaided he has frequently pushed on to see the snow covered mountains, the rusl-lng rivers and the broad and silent valleys where the footfalls of the white men are seldom If ever heard. He asserts "that it is really great to go where you have every reason to believe that before you mortal man has never trodden. Groat," says he, "to meet the wild woodsmen and barren land Eskimo, to see thou sands of wil woodland and barren land caribou, on which is only the brand of Almighty God." Great to dig for yellow ore in the bars of : .vers that flow to a. frozen mouth, ad own the slope of the unsurvey.d Arctic divide." Mr. Lewis was pastor in Highland Church for nearly two years. NOTED EDUCATOR HEARD DR. J. DTJXCAST SPAETH CONCLUDES SERIES HERE. Chrome Mines Inspected. GRANTS PASS, Or., July 21. (Spe cial.) Professor J. S. Diller. noted geologist, is spending several days visiting the newly-opened-up chrome deposits south of this city, from which large shipments are being made to Cleveland aad Pittsburg smelters, "Walt Whitman and the Spirit of American Democracy" Is Dis cussed Brilliantly. The third and last of a series of lec tures by Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, noted educator and author from Princeton, given Saturday night before a big audi ence representative of social and In tellectual Portland. The lecture was given at Lincoln High' School,' and proved to be one of most diverting trend and philosophical observation, backed up with a splendid insight and knowledge of the subject. "Walt Whitman and the Spirit of American Democracy," was discussed brilliantly. Dr. Spraeth referred to the present war as an "interruption to the work of democracy, necessary, inevitable, but merely preliminary. "While we are helping Europe to ex tend an era of political democracy, and fighting to prevent Germany from hampering in the rights of smaller nations, let us beware that we are not allowing forces hostile to the spirit of American democracy to entrench themselves at home. The American flag is the symbol of our common in heritance and our common hopes and destiny. It is too large to cover any one state, any one class, any one in terest." Dr. Spaeth praised the law preventing anything being put on the flag. ; WOUNDED DOG IS STOLEN City Physician Ziegler Is Looking for His Setter. Wounded In battle, kidnaped and probably deserted by the kidnapers, a six-months-old English terrier owned by Dr. Fred J. Ziegler, city physician, is experiencing the horrors of war without leaving his native city. The pup sustained a broken leg in a battle with a bulldog last Friday. Dr. Ziegler took him to the offices of the Humane Society to have him killed, but started home with him again when of ficials assured him that the dpg prob ably would recover. Dr. Ziegler left the dog in his automobile at East Fif teenth street and Broadway, and the pup was stolen. It is feared that the thief will turn the dog loose on the streets when the broken leg is discov ered. The setter is white, with black ears and a black spot on his back.

CHERRIES YIELD PROFITS HOOD RIVER APPLE MAX HAS OTHER FIXE FRUITS. Tract of IJ'AnJon Pear Yields 1800 Hszei In Tear, Selllns at 2.25 Per Box. HOOD RIVER. Or., July 21. (Spe cial.) The busiest ranch in Hood River now is the West Side place of J. R, Nunamaker, known as the Hood River Valley cherry king. Thirty wom en and girls are engaged in packing the luscious product, while a crew of many more, composed of a percentage of men. is engaged in taking the Blngs, Lamberts, Royal Annes and Black Re publicans from the laden trees. The cherry harvest lasts from three to four weeks. While Mr. Nunamaker Is one of the owners of the valley's largest apple holdings, he grows more than a fourth of the cherries produced in the Hood River community, on tracts totaling only four acres. From this small acre age, however, be expects to harvest more than 60 tons of fruit this season. When a visitor arrives at the place Mr. Nunamaker, the owner, always es corts him during the course of the ex ploration of the ranch to a giant Lam bert tree, which Mr. Nunamaker char acterizes as the king tree of his place. The big tree never fails to bear a full crop, an average of about 800 pounds each year. The yield will be greater this season. Nearly all of this fruit is of extra fancy quality and will sell for about 10 cents per pound. That go ing to the canners will bring 4 cents. Mr. Nunamaker Is not only known for his immense cherry crops, but also as the owner of one of the best D'Anjou pear orchards in the valley. "I harvested 1800 boxes of pears last year." says Mr. Nunamaker, "and they brought $2.25 per 'box. The D'Anjou Is a great export pear and sells in South American markets."
