Teceacd, 'Who Occupied Local Pul pit for Paris or 1871, 1872, 18 73 and Continuously From 1881 to 1881, Was Orator, Cforie W. Tzer. one of the most pow erful preachers in the Methodist Epis copal church, formerly well known in Portland, died in Germantown. a sub urb of Philadelphia, Thursday. Septem ber 13, according to information re ceived here last week by J. K. Gill, who knew him well when he was oc cupying a pulpit in this city many years ago. funeral services were held for him' in Arch-street Church, Phila delphia. th following Monday. The following is from the Christian Advocate: George TV. Izer has triumphantly been released from his sufferings. For over a year hi.s bedroom has been - a Mecca for hundreds of people in need of help and inspiration, and without exception all have departed with great er faith, larger hopes and warmer love for God, his kingdom and the things eternal. "While suffering pain extreme. Dr. Izer preached more effectively d'ur ing his last year than in all the years In which he stood in a pulpit. From that bedroom in Germantown every where throughout the conference and all over the United States there went an influence mighty in faith, hope and love, that was all but a demonstration of the truth of the Christian religion and the assurance of eternal life be ginning here. The call to reward came on Thursday evening. The funeral services were held in Arch-street Church, on Monday, September 17. in charge of Listrict Superintendent George II. Bickley. Dr. Izer came to this conference in 1900 from Pittsburg, where he had spent 10 years in the pas torate of Christ Church and Calvary. Jle was born in Baltimore. April 3, 1839, educated at tickinson, Syracuse M. A., 187) and Hamilton (LU B.. 1880). His was a traveling ministry Central New Tork (1877-79), Oregon (1881-84), Cal ifornia (1884-95), Pittsburg (1895-1900) and Philadelphia (1900-17). In Phila delphia hi3 charges were Covenant (1900-05), Calvary (1905-10). Arch street (1910-12). and Grace (1912-15). He was superintendent of Northwest district when attacked by the illness which bore down his body, but not his unconquerable soul. His monuments are Christ Church, Pittsburg, and Cal vary, Philadelphia, which he built. He was a member of the general confer ence of 1916. In addition to the mention of his pas torate here from 1881 to 1884. it should be recorded that he also served in the pulpit of Taylor-street Church during portions, of the. years 1871, 1872 and 1873. His work attracted wide atten tion, as he was scholarly, refined and eloquent, yet most democratic. For a tlm he was in the East, but was sent back to Portland as pastor of Taylor street Church in 1881 and remained there until 1884. During the latter part of that year he also looked after the welfare of Grace Church, which society had just been organized. At the next annual conference, pastors were assigned to both churches and he again went East. "He was a remarkably eloquent preacher." said J. K. Gill. "Few have equaled him as a pulpit orator and none have surpassed him. He was a man of the people, who devoted his time and talents exclusively all his life to the ministry, in which he was a great suc cess. He. was very democratic, being easily met and delighted to minister to the needs of all who sought his counsel or aid. His works will ever live after him and th two magnificent churches he built in Pittsburg and Philadelphia are fitting monuments to his. memory." HUNTERS ERR UNWITTINGLY Game Law Violators Don't Know County Is Largely Kescrvc. Tn the opinion of the State Game TVarden's office, the unusually large number of arrests made in Multno mah County this year for violation of the game laws is due chiefly to igno rance on the part of the offenders that the greater part of this county by act of the last Legislature was created Into a game refuge within which hunt Ing for upland birds is prohibited. Owing to this misunderstanding sev eral high school hoys were taken into custody by Deputy Game Wardens dur ing the last week. I.'nder the law creating this refuge U that part of the county lying west of the Vt illamette River, with the ex ception of Sauvies Island, and that portion of the county east of the Wil lamette River beyond Ninety-second Mreet. and excepting only Government Island, are embraced in the refuge and from which hunters of upland birds are excluded. 6 STATES INCLUDED Meeting Is One of ' Series Through out Xation to Make Plans for Checking Disease Which Cuts Down Men in Trenches.

"Not one of our porters was involved, Officers, no doubt, thought that be cause the men arrested were negroes and were taken from the Pullman roach that they were porters. Such was not the case.

For example, the mere physical ex amination by local exemption boards of the men who have thus far been sum moned, when accurate figures are avail able, will no doubt bring to light a total of at least 1 0,000 new cases of tuberculosis li it her to unknown. The examination of the entire 10,000,000 men registered on June 5, will, no doubt, double, and in many cases quadruple, the tuberculosis work of every agency engaged in the preventive movement throughout the United States.

There's a bad man with a shotgrun and a woman with a club up there, and 'they will kill lit tle boys:' Rudolph Scjiroeder, 7. who lives in Eastnioreland. near Eightieth street and Thirty-sixth avenue Southeast, told this to one of his playmates Friday night, and pointed out as the dangerous spot a little wood near his home. Ru dolph meant the assertion as lightly as James Whitcomb Riley meant his poem about "Little Orphant Annie" and the Koblins. But the playmate took it seriously. The playmate repeated the story to another small acquaintance, who in turn told it to another juvenile gossip. It went on and on throughout East moreland's younger set. acquiring new thrills at every telling. "I'll bet they're going to kill the lit tle Italian hoy who lives next door to us," one youngster whispered in awed tones. And the story of the fate im pending over the little Italian boy went the rounds again. Finally the yarn reached the ears of the doomed boy's father. Over in Italy they don't joke about killing. It isn't considered funny. The lather called the police. Motorcycle Patrolmen Gouldstone and Crane didn't see the joke either. They went to Kastmoreland at top speed. and began searching for the gunmen. The district Isn't laid off in fetreets yet. The policeman deserted their mo torcycles and went through the woods on foot. They climbed over fences and asked for information at every house. Finally they found Rudolph. "I never meant it at all." said that personage stoutly. He intrenched him self behind his mother's skirts and eyed the police uniforms admiringly. "Somebody stole a lot of lumber from us, and the police never made half this fuss." said Rudolph's mother. "The very idea of taking a child's state ment seriously!" And the policemen went back to headquarters meditating on the vaga ries of the human species. mtiiitni iiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimumiiiiiuiimiii iimtiiiuii inmiimiu iiiiiiiiiirtiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiliiilillutlK VEN POSTAGE GOES UP Letters to Points Outside of Will Take 3 Cents.

MUSHROOMS OF FOOD VALUE Professor A. It. Sweetser to Lecture Before Irvington Club. Portland residents are to be told about the food value of mushrooms in an address to be delivered at the Irvington Club next Monday night by Professor A. R. Sweetser, of the Uni versity of Oregon. The lecture will be free and open to the public. Professor Sweetser believes that in this time of food conservation the mushroom should not be overlooked. It is not necessary, he maintains, to purchase them at a high price on the market, as anyone may easily learn to distinguish the edible varieties from those that are poisonous. Professor Sweetser is going to point out the dis tinguishing characteristics and will use lantern slides to illustrate his remarks. Take Libert) Bonds at Par in Exchange for Merchandise.

An Investment in Diamonds A diamond bought at this store is a first class investment, because I undersell on stones of fine quality. There is reason for this: I specialize on diamond buying, and I buy heavily when the market is favorable. My advantage permits me to sell you diamonds of a better grade at more reasonable prices.
