POUTL AD, "AUGUST -10, - 1919 16 L WILL SEE BELGIAN CARDINAL WILL VISIT OREGON COUNTRY OF WHICH HE WAS TOLD BY HIS UNCLE, MONSEIGNEUR CROQUET, ONE OF OREGON'S EARLIEST MISSIONARIES. Oil PROFITEERS E OF IS STARTED GENTLY Stories Told by Missionary Fire Belgian Primate. Two Men Report Neighbor Has Sack of Potatoes in Cellar. PORTLAND ON ITINERARY INFORMATION IS -INVITED Archbishop Christie Tells of Work of Prelate's Uncle AVho Was AVelN Known by Early Settlers. As a child in Belgium, the boy who later became Cardinal Mercier, arch bishop of Malines, primate of Belgium, and "one of the greatest heroes of the war," delighted in tales of life among the Ind4ans of the great northwest country in America, told by his uncle, Monsigneur Croquet, one of the earliest Oregon missionaries. When the charred logs in the fire place gave forth their last feeble spark the youngster would be seen with eyes still large with wonder, listening to the soft voice of his uncle. When sum marily ordered to bed he often prom ised himself that when he was older he would visit the land of his dreams. Oregon Is Land of Dreams. The lifelong curiosity of Cardinal Mercier concerning the Oregon country, wetting for the Indian stories of his uncle, is soon to be satisfied. The cardinal, whose heroism in risking his life and liberty while a prisoner of the Germans in Belgium by lifting his voice against the oppression of his flock has won the plaudits of the world, is com ing to America. He should arrive in New York between September 15 and 20. according to the Rev. Peter Joseph Stryckes, the cardinal's secretary, who has just reached this country and is makintr arrangements for the visit of the Belgian prelate. "If it is physically possible for him to do so," the cardinal will go to Port land, Or., and other points in the north west while in this country, aid Dr. Stryckes, who is vice-rector of the American college, University of Lou vain, upon reaching New York. "His great interest in the northwest is the result of the Indian stories told him by his uncle Monsigneur Croquet, when the cardinal was a boy. Uncle Once Indian Mlaaionary. ' "The monsigneur was a missionary in the northwest when that country was real wild and when the principal inhabitants were Indians. He had some thrilling experiences during the years he preached to the Indians and more than once he looked death in the face. When he became old the monsigneur gave up active missionary work and returned to Belgium. He made his home with Cardinal Mercier's sisters until he died. "It was his delight to tell stories of his exploits among the Indians and it was an equal delight to the youth who afterward became a historic figure in . the world war to sit beside the old man . and listen to him draw from his stock of experience stories that had many a thrill. The only thing that would arouse the old missionary to anger was to have some friend remark that the Indians in his district must have been wild and terrible. . This he always held was untrue. His former charges, he was wont to say, were kindly people who lived a simple life." Archbishop Tetifle to Good Work. Archbishop Alexander Christie said last night that Monsigneur Croquet was one of the best known and loved of the early Oregon missionaries. He labored among the Indians in this state for more than 30 years, coming here about 18ti0 and leaving about 1S90 for his old home in Belgium. Many of the early settlers remembered the kindly old man whose work was almost en tirely among the red men. In coming to America at this time Cardinal Mercier has more of a motive than the satisfaction of a lifelong curi osity. He is coming to thank the American people for the part they took in the war, acting as a representative of the people of Belgium. He will visit New York, Washington, D. C. Phila delphia, Chicago and Baltimore. As many other cities as will be possible for him to visit will be arranged in his itinerary, but one which he surely will not miss, if it lies within the realms of possibility for him to see, is Portland, as the center of the country of which he heard so much when a boy. 1 v - f A I W mm -am' : ::m:m ,- - ; hf&A t V l - CARDINAL MERCIER.

Oregon Lumber Company Will De velop Property and Roads Will Be Richly Endowed. HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) T. H. Sherrard. supervisor of national forests.-was here yesterday en route to Portland from the upper west fork of Hood River where he had been en gaged in details of a sale of 365.000,- 000 feet tf timber in the national for est to the Oregon Lumber company. The tract, the largest body of Douglas fir ever sold by the government, was awarded to John W. Palmer, who sev eral years ago retired to a west side orchard here from the presidency of the West port Lumber company, oper a-ting a mill on the lower Columbia. Mr. Palmer, now a resident of Port land, soon after the big deal, suffered poor health and has assigned his inter est to the Oregon Lumber company, which intends to log the big tract and haul the timber to its Dee plant for cutting. The timber involved in the sale covers an area of 7340 acres. The total sale price of the big tract of fir will reach more than $350,000. It will take about 20 years to cut the area. The sale of the timber has done more than anything1 else to stimulate construction of a highway connecting county roads with Lost lake. Ten per cent of the funds from sale of the tim ber will go to the 'state for construc tion of roads tr trails in the national forest in any part of the state. Twenty five per cent will be apportioned be tween Wasco, Hood River and Clacka mas counties within the borders of which the national forest containing the stumpage is located. The sale has made available funds for the construc tion of the Lost lake road. PAVING EXTENSION ASKED Dallas Wants City and State Hard Surface to Connect. DALLAS, Or.. Auk. 8- (Special.) The Dallas commercial club and the Dallas city council are working to gether in an effort to .have the state highway commission extend the hard surfaced roadway from Salem to con nect with the pavement within the city limits. The contract called for pavinf? only to the city limits of Dallas and after a Communication with the state highway commission the city council members are of the opinion that unless the com mercial club, the county court and the council can induce the state commis sion to finish the stretch of roadway from the Brown place, east of Dallas, a small strip of roadway will remain unpaved' for years. The county has not done any work on the Dallas-Salem road except to keep it in condition fr travel this win ter and should the commission decide not to hard-surface it, many thousands of dollars may be needed to place the road In passable condition before next spring. Dealers Suspected of Being Worst Food Hoarders Extensive Ex posure in Oregon Unlikely. Following- . the announcement of United States Attorney Haney that the co-operation of the public Is desired In ferretlnp out the profiteers in food stuffs, two men appeared at the federal building yesterday to make complaint. They brought the information that a neighbor had a sack of potatoes in his cellar. While the department of justice and its operatives are ready- to probe -into the high cost of living, extensive ex posures are not expected in Oregon lhus,far no information of a serious character has been submitted to Mr. Haney, who 'said he expected "no de velopments for some time. Mr. Haney assures a thorough investigation of every complaint. Holdlnar of foods Violation. It is presumed that the department of Justice at Washington, D. C, will direct that the agents in this state fol low eastern -leads." which are believed to have an Oregon end. The suggestions are more likely to come from Washincr ton than to have their inception among ine residents ol this state, as the con cerns suspected of being the worst of fenders are located in the middle west. Those subject to prosecution are not only individuals or manufacturers, but they embrace wholesale hpuses and retailers as well. Dealers who have ac cumulated large stocks of necessities with the intention of holding the goods in reserve in anticipation of higher prices are among the offenders sought by the agents of the department of justice. Dealers are not permitted to hold stocks of foodstuffs beyond a rea sonable time. What constitutes a "rea sonable time" will be determined by I jury in the federal court, if prosecu tions are attempted. Whether stocks in cold storage will be dealt with by the government in its fight to reduce the high cost of living is not known. It is supposed that i survey of the foods in the big cold stor age plants will be made and a deter mination reached as to whether these stocks are in excess of what thev should be and whether they are being neia ior nigner prices. Proiwator Invites Information. uuring me war period rood was hoarded by individuals, and prosecu tions were conducted. The food admin istration had charge of the dealers to ee that there was no hoarding, but there was much difficulty in preventing individuals from goine- from dealer to dealer and accumulating unwarranted quantities of supplies. The private food hoarder practically became extinct with the termination of the war. and supervision of the dealers and their supplies ended with the dissolution o the food administration. It is the im pression that comparatively little food is being hoarded by individuals. W hat will develop in Orearon Mr Haney declined to forecast or discuss. He reiterated that the department o justice is ready to consider any infor mation received and that information is Invited from any and all persons. The Union Meat company entered a plea of guilty to violating the food and drug act in the federal court yesterday and was fined J100. The company was charged with shipping to Alaska adul terated and mlsbranded evaporated milk. : t J- t 1 V t ; Wallace Employs Public Nurse. "WALLACE. Idaho. Aug-. 9. (Special.)

Water tobogganing Is the new thriller at Columbia Beach, this aquatic mod ification of the winter sport having been inaugurated this last week. Probably no. other feature at the beach has been so lefts talked about and promised, but the late war seems to have "raised Ned" with the supplies of snow toboggans or the manufactur ers hardly expected any demand for sleds at this time of the year. Any way, they have them now. and there will be tobogganing on the watery way every day. Instead of the snow courses there is a greased runway down which the sled, with one bather or more, gathers speed. At the bottom is the "upshoot" that sends the sled shooting over the sur face of the water, usually in a series of jumps. Airplaning is becoming increasingly popular at the beach, and each day the passenger list grows. Even those who first came to "gawk" and spring the old "wheeze" about' "terra firma being good enough for them" are capitulating and going for spin when they think their erstwhile audience has gone to parts unknown. ... Bathing, of course, continues popu lar, and the great beach becomes al ways wider, offering acres and acres of clean white sand for the youngsters to spend the summer days.
