THE. SUNDAY OltEG ONIAX, PORTLAND. DECEMBER 22, 1918. PLUCKY WIDOW WINS T Hard Working Mother Tells of Story of Conservation. MONEY IS GIVEN TO WAR Women, In Broken English, Recites How She and Three Children Kept Liittle Home Intact. BT ADDISOK BENNETT. Since my little Christmas story about the colored family of South Portland "was published in The Oregonian a few days ago, several people have tele phoned me asking for the residence of mm HEAVY ODDS CITY TO DEDICATE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN PARK TO MEMORY OF FRANK T. DODGE, FORMER WATER BUREAU SUPERINTENDENT. SKETCH SHOWS DRIVEWAYS AND those good citizens. I have refused to give such information, very naturally, as they do not wish to exploit their good deeds in any way. All the good woman wished was to give the Sal vation Army workers credit for their Kbod deeds and to proclaim their Joy at their good fortune. But I also re ceived over the phone a request to call at a certain number on the East Side and interview a widow woman living there, which I did. I found I had been sent to Bee a German lady, one who has not lived a great length of time in Portland, and one who formerly believed in the Justice of the cause of her fatherland. She changed her view then because her husband, .before his death, had told her that when he declared his citizenship before Judge Bean in 1910 he meant every letter of his oath in denouncing, or more properly renouncing, all obli gations to Germany and had accepted every obligation of a native-born Amer ican. Hard Work Spells Success. In broken English this good woman told me that this country and all of Its people had been good to her and her family. In Germany, where their first two children were born, they had been able to barely exist, particularly dur ing the three years her husband served in the army. But through an accident he injured one of his hands and was discharged. Then by scraping and bor rowing he got money enough to get to this country. By working in the woods as a logger the head of the family had been en abled to get a little home on the East Side and had it practically paid for, when he fell sick and died. "He left me with three children, the oldest only 13 years old," said the good woman. "My only source of income was the little washing I was doing for some neighbors. And there were the funeral expenses of over $100 to pay. But three of the children began at once to help me, first my big boy getting a paper route and the second by going to the homes of rich people and getting their washing, which I did, working almost day and night. But right away we began to make over $10 a week above our living expenses, and in less than three months we paid the under taker. Little Family Is Happy. "Pretty soon we bought a cow, and then some chickens, and the oldest boys got four rabbits. It did not then, nor does it now, cost us a penny to keep the rabbits or chickens or pasture the cow. The children go to certain houses, some of them a dozen blocks away, and get the garbage, and it beats all how our three dozen chickens lay, and what a lot of young chiCRens we raise, and how many rabbits we sell. "My boys are almost men now. They have never missed a day at school and stand right at the head of their classes. My girl, born here, is now nearly 12 years old, does nearly all of the house work. I still do washing, but only what I can do during the daytime, for the cow and poultry and rabbits more than make a living for us. so I only do washing to help do my share for my adoptad country in buying liberty bonds and in helping the Red Cross, Salva tion Army and the Y. M. C. A. and other war works. I have $300 in bonds paid for and 10 war savings stamps; and the children have one $50 bond and 10 of the stamps, and a lot of thrift stamps, for every Saturday they go to the postoffice and get from one to a dozen. Help Given Red Cross. "Our clothing is net shabby. We go to the Lutheran Church and to Sunday School every Sunday. Others are bet ter dressed, but we do not feel ashamed, and we always have a little something to help the church and pastor. Just yes terday, too, the boys went to town and bougnt a dollar button for each of us In the Red Cross, ai.d we have every thing ready to get a fine Christmas diner, five fine chickens to roast, cran berries, mince pies lots of good things. And about a dozen poor people are com ing to eat with us, or rather before us, for we can't stretch our table to seat more than nine, and besides we have only that many chairs; but we will have a lovely, a heavenly, time. "And we are fixing up two baskets, each with a roast chicken and all other good things for a fine dinner. These we will send next Monday to the Sal vation Army lassies to give to the poor. "We have but one regret: that is that my dear husband is not here to see our prosperity, which he labored for and laid the foundation for. He used to tell mo that he felt sorry for those Ger mans and American-born Germans who could not see the difference between living in a free land like the United States and a land of slavery like Ger many. Bn Language Barred. "He never would allow the children ' to learn German, saying they would never need the language. And Just a few hours before he died, when we had read to him an article In a newspaper saying that the United States would surely enter the war, he called the children to us and told us all to help all we could. And then he went on to tell us that if President Wilson de cided to go to war the old Germany would soon pass away and a free Ger many arise, but he wanted us always to be true Americans." Christmas is almost here. On that great day there will be many, many happy homes in this land of the free. In some homes thousands and thou sands of dollars will be spent on Christ mas entertainment. But In not one home In Portland, or anywhere else in the world, will there ba a happier gathering than at the home of this German family in East Portland; and no gifts will be more blessed by our good Saviour than the two baskets these good people will send to the Sal vation Army. KLONDIKE MINE MAY OPEN High Price of Coal Leads Marshfield Capitalists to Consider Project. MARSHFIELD,' Or.. Dec 21. (Spe cial.) A project that of opening the old Klondike mine, south of Beaver Hill which came into existence when the spruce production work was going on in the Boutin timber tract may be continued by Marshfield capitalists, al- TRAILS, COMPLETED AD PLANNED, IJT AND SANDY RIVERS. though the question of buying the rail road laid by the Government from the Beaver Hill spur to the Klondike means an investment which may prove too heavy. The Klondike - coal vein is one of the best In the county and when under operation some years ago pro duced some excellent coal. Among those whose names are con nected with the present development are Postmaster Hugh McLain and James H. Flanagan. Five other men are said to be concerned in the plans. The poorest coal mined here is now selling at $7 a ton, and new develop ment is encouraged by such high prices. COLONEL FOLTZ DEMOTED Former Brigadier-General Now Is Colonel of Cavalry. TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 21. (Special.) Colonel Frederick P'oltz, who went overseas as a Brigadier-General with the 91st Division, is now a Colonel of the Sixth Cavalry with the American Army of occupation in Germany. This fact has become known through let ters received here from men of his old command. This puts at rest, say Army officers, any suspicion of Colonel Foltz, as he retains the rank he held in the regular Army before being advanced in the National Army. Because of Colonel Foltz' demotion and the Teutonic twang of his name, it was rumored that he had been in communication with the Germans and had betrayed his trust. Colonel Foltz was graduated from West Point in 1887. Tacoma Manufacturers Organize. TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 21. (Special.) Forty food manufacturers have joined in an organization for mutual benefit. E. R. Rogers is temporarily at the head of the association. The bet terment of manufacturing conditions, safeguarding public health and other movements which require mutual effort are eet forth by the manufacturers as their aim in organizing. Trade outlook in the Jobbing territory will be care fully canvassed, Mr. Rogers said. Dallas to Light Streets. DALLAS, Or., Dec. 21. (Special.) The main business streets of this city. wnicn nave been comparatively dark during the past several months, due to the shutting off of light from the clus ter posts, will again be lighted after the first of the year. A subscription paper was circulated through the busi ness section this week and enough sub scribers agreed to pay the sum of $1 a month to light the posts now erected and to also light several more which will be established on the streets in the near future. Flu Makes State Lime Plant Target. GOLD HILL, Or.. Dec 21. (Special.! The "flu" has suspended operations at the state lime plant at Gold Hill, excepting the shipment of the product on hand. Fourteen of the crew of 24 honor men employed are ill, several seriously. The camp is quarantined and those not afflicted are assisting the sick.

The day also was the 18th wedding anniversary of their eldest son, George Sorenson, of Astoria, DODGE-PARK IS SPOT OF PRIMITIVE City-Weary Persons to Find Rest in Rugged Wildwood. EQUIPMENT CALLS FOR AID Commissioner Points Oat Portland Will Provide Maintenance, but "Dressing" Monej Is Needed. ' A rare eharm, nntrammeled moun tain scenery, rippling streams with an abundance of fish, vistas of rugged wildwood, rich In vacation delights, are among the allurement features claimed for the Frank T. Dodge Memorial Park. NEW OUTING SPOT OX BULL. RUN It is being developed and will be opened to Portland jeople next "Spring by Commissioner John M. Mann and offi cials of the city water bureau. Located at the confluence of the Sandy and Bull Run rivers, the tract comprises 20 acres, which is owned by the city and is under the care of Super intendent Kaiser of the water bureau. With but primitive charm and with no human comforts, the spot has drawn its votaries, who unanimously favored its development. Monument to Honor Mr. Dodge. Taking its name from a former water superintendent, the new park is com memorative of Mr. Dodge's love of nature and his public service. A-winding roadway and a shady trail within its confines bear witness to his magic touch. The park is less than 30 miles from Portland by trolley. The Bull Run interurban line is within a few minutes' walk of the spot. Erection of a monument, with a me morial fountain of bronze or native rock, has been decided upon by Mr. Mann In memory of Mr. Dodge. Funds for this will be obtained by popular subscription. "We do not intend to destroy the park's primitive glories, but there are certain Improvements that must be made, if the people of Portland and tourists are to enjoy fully its pictur esque advantages," said Mr. Mann. "There must be running water and fa cilities for cooking. "The city will be In a position to provide necessary trails, paths, walks, benches and parking places for autos, but public-spirited citizens must come to the front, if we are to equip the park for the thousands that want to come. "A permanent pavilion, a commodious refreshment hall, a modest little cot tage for restroom and tearoom for mothers and children are among things we should have at the park. Equipment I JV ceded. "Besides the two rivers a fisher man's paradise there is a level sandy beach and a pretty little expanse of small timber that can be converted into a picnic ground. "The city is ready to supervise and maintain the park, but cannot spend much money in dressing it for occu pancy. This is what we are asking of our benevolently inclined citizens. We don't want stone, but we do want bath ing pools for children, a modest little chalet and many other ' little features that will provide for the comfort of the city weary people. "If any Eastern city had this natural park, a half million dollars to fit it out could be raised. We should have the money at once so as to get the place in shape for the onting season of 1919." DOCTOR ON FIGHTING LINE Coos Bay Man Takes Part in Import- ant Battles. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Dec. 21. (Special.) Dr. Phil J. Keizer, Captain and surgeon of the United States First Gas Regi ment, writing from the war zone in France, where he has been in service since the Fall of 1917, says he had not met a single person he had known in the CHARM United States. Such a situation seems remarkable, since Dr. Keizer has a very wide acquaintance in Oregon and our boys were pretty thick in places where Captain Keizer was doing service. Captain Keizer was on the firing line when the armistice was signed, and says the doughboys were so persistent with their fighting that he saw them bringing back Boche prisoners up to within two hours before the fighting ceased. Captain Keizer censored all his let ters during his service, and until after the armistice none of his friends had any intimation of what he was accom plishing in the fighting, or where he had been located. In one place where he was with his gas regiment the boys encountered concrete obstructions cal culated to circumvent the resourceful tanks. These were posts three feet in thickness and six feet high, with steel railroad rails netting the spaces. Captain Keizer is in line for a major ship and will probably be promoted be fore being mustered out. He was re ported killed in action July 13, but friends learned the report was not true.
