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.

The three negroes taken 'off the

day. in possession of 300 quarts of
liquor, were not .Pnlman porters, ac
cording to C P. Lincoln, district super

who yesterday investigated the case.
'"Those men were negroes of means
who had taken a. drawing-room and
were passengers," t-aid Mr. Lincoln.
"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.
"Our porters, while they realize that
there, has been some isolated cases of
Vorters transporting liquor., resent the

TJ. P. 7arkson, of 416 Vancou-
and mobilization of the National Army,
has brought and is brinp every day
new problems to those who are fight
ing" tuberculosis.
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.
What the anti-tuberculosis forces of
the United States are going to do
about it will be discussed at the six
sectional tuberculosis conferences being
held under the auspices of the National
Association for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis in different parts
of the country.

iCTOU'D better keep away from
I those woods! 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.

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.

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.
