THE SUNDAY OREGONIAJf, PORTLAND, 21, 1918. JULY REED COLLEGE GETS LARGE ENDOWMENT Man, Whose Name Is With held, Gives $200,000 for Re Educatior. of Soldiers. FEDERAL APPROVAL NEEDED School Will Be. Strictly Modern and Probably Will Include Largest Convalescent Hospital In the West; Work to Expand. widow and nine lirlnr children: S. C, of Arizona; J. a., or Marshfleld; Mr. Daisy Short, of Myrtle Point; Mra. H H. Harris and Claude Giles, of Myrtle Point; Mrs. R. H. Dickey, Arizona; Mrs. Julia Stewart, Powers; Daniel Giles. Powers, and Lieutenant Clark R. Giles, with the American expeditionary forces in France. In early days Daniel Giles and T. M. Herman were partners and brought into the county the first mowing; ma chine and the first thresher. He also served in the Indian war during; 1856 and 18S8. An endowment of $200,000 has been received by Reed College from a donor whose name Is not made public at this time. The endowment is to be used for equipment of a school for the re-education of returned eoldlers. This Is the only school of its kind now being; planned for in the West, though there are several institutions of this nature on the Atlantic Coast. In addition to the endowment. Reed College also has been offered extensive founds and buildings in the city which V'ill be used for housing the school. With the large endowment pledged fend the grounds and buildings prom ised. Reed College is ready to extend its jvar work to the new field.' It now re mains only for the War Department and the Federal Board for Vocational Education to determine when and un der what conditions the college may be used for training the wounded men for lew careers. College Work to Expand. The school for the training of recon struction aides to assist returned sol diers to recover the use of their func tions, which Reed College is conduct ing on the campus and at the Lewis House clinic, has been regarded from the outset as only one phase of. the work of rehabilitation. Flaps for the organization of the new department of J-e-education have been quietly develop ing for the last 12 months. The new department will fit in with the recon struction aide work. Along with the treatments by means of remedial exer cises, massage, and hydro and electro therapy, the remedial workshops In vhlch the convalescent soldiers will be directed in work which has both a vo cational and remedial value will be operated. When President Foster was In France and England last Fall he studied the methods, equipment and achievement of the principal schools of re-education. Elnce that time he has been in touch tvlth the progress of similar agencies in Canada and has had In mind establish ing such a school at Reed College at the earliest possible moment. The remedial workshops to be conducted under the new endowment will be a part of the reconstruction war work of Reed College, and will Include the training of reconstruction aides and the recalling of returned soldiers to new Ways of earning a living. Donor's Xante la Withheld. A man whose name Is not made pub lic has kept in close touch with the school for reconstruction aides and with developments In Washington and has provided the endowment for the new department to be conducted by Reed College in co-operation with the Government under such conditions as the War Department may prescribe. The grounds and buildings In Port land, which have been offered for the use of the school, are well located and suitable for use as a branch hospital and a group of remedial workshops. After much discussion In Washington It has been decided, to turn the work of reconstruction over to the department Federal Board- for Vocational Educa tlon. This board has telegraphed Reed College that plans will be worked out in due time so that the board may take advantage of the offer of the college It is probable, however, that It will be possible to care for all the returned soldiers during the next few months at Institutions already established on the Atlantic Coast. Experience has proved that the needs of the wounded soldiers will ultimately demand the use of in stitutions in every part of the country. The work in England and France is nation wide and' will be even more nec essary at the conclusion of the war. Convalescent Hospitals Planned The re-educatton of soldiers Includes Instruction in new trades and profes slons where the loss of limbs will not Interfere with the work. And in the education In the use of limbs and arms. Some of the things that have fceen taught are poultry-raising, ma chine work, woodwork, 'bookkeeping, drawing, typesetting and numerous other trades. To be of greatest value, the re education work must go on at the earliest possible moment of con valescence. So the Reed College school will probably Include a convalescent hospital, where reconstruction - aides can rehabilitate the soldiers at the fame time they are convalescing. Men ho can possibly be trained to go taak to their old occupations will do so. In cases where a man Is bo' badly Injured that he cannot go back to his former occupation effort will be made to train him fon the vocatlon.for which Jiis previous training and experience has best fitted him. FRAUD CHARGED IN SALE (Surer of Interest in Business Seeks to Recover Money. That he was fraudulently induced to purchase a .half Interest fn a soft drink stand and confectionery at $1500 when It was worth only J700 Is charged by Sam PoHtis In a suit filed yester day In the Circuit Court against Nick Jtaptakis and T. Raptakls. brothers. The plaintiff alleges the defendants took advantage of his ignorance of property values In getting him to pur chasa an interest in the place. "They told me I could double my money In three months, but I cannot break even," declared the plaintiff. They said the business ran from $90 to $90 a day, while It amounts only to $30 or $40. arM this Is barely enough to pay expenses." The plaintiff asks recovery of $1180. Which, he says, the defendants wrong fully - and unlawfully procured from aim In the sale of the store last April.

Nothing escapes him. Iatt year a party of foresters went up Mt. Adams to make a survey of the country pre llminary to establishing a lookout house. After they had broken up their camp they burned the fir boughs on which they had slept so. that the dan ger of fire from them would be done away with. Smoke Sees 65 Miles). Fifty-five miles away on the summit of Mt. Hood, a forest ranger In his glass house saw the smoke from this little blaze and sent In the alarm by his telephone. It was only a small bon fire and It was carefully watched by the officials of the forest service, but It was Just as carefully watched by the alert forester 55 miles away In his glass house. Nothing escapes the look out man. He Is always ready to report a blaze which makes a smoke, no mat ter how Insignificant It may be. And o he Is worth more than any other agency lor fire prevention In the forest. The higher the mountain on which the lookout house Is located, the better view the lookout man has. Where the house is comparatlvey low. nothing can be seen because of the clouds. Where It Is high above the clouds, the smoke can be seen bubbling through the clouds and with his fire finder up In the cupola of his lookout house the lookout man locates the flame and tele phones to the nearest ranger station The Osborne fire finder, which Is a part or tne standard equipment or every ranger station In the United States and in parts of Canada. Is the Invention of W. B. Osborne of the Portland district forest office. House Made la Section. The new forest ranger lookout house Is made in sections ready to put un and Is easily taken up the mountains with out waste of wood and without exoess lght. The whole house weighs but 8000 pounds and can be taken up on pack ponies and In some cases with pulleys. To assist In the fighting of fire, the Forest Department haa built 4350 miles of trails in Oregon and S600 miles of telephone lines. Practically all timber of the state Is in sight of some lookout house and connected with ranger sta tlons by fire trails and telephone com munications. In many sections of the country where rnere are campers, for est patrols are maintained. These men keep on the lookout for fires on their dally rounds and carry a teleDhone with1 which to communicate with rang ers In cases where they cannot put out the fires which they discover. In fighting fire a trench Is dug around the burning section and trees are felled Into the blaze so that the flames will not be carried over Into the green woods beyond the trench. The highest lookout station in Wash ington Is that on Mt Adams, which Is 12,047 feet in elevation, the highest In the United States. Alfred Allen, who died suddenly- of apoplexy recently at Sea side, Or., was a retired stockman and rancher of Eastern Oregon.
