THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, ' POKTLiAXD,, OCTOBER 10, 1920 HOOVER PLEADS FOR DEMOCRATIC. DEFEAT Former Food Chief Enters Presidential Campaign. PARTY FAILURE CITED Bourbons Ignored Half ot People f l S. to Make Peace Terms Alone, Is Churge. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 10. Herbert Hoover, entering the presidential campaign in behalf of the Harding Coolidge ticket with an address today before the Columbia club of Indian apolis, declared that the major issue was party responsibility and expressed at length his views on the league .of nations. . "Inasmuch as 40 nations, comprising three-quarters of the people of the globe, have embraced the "league of nations- as a term expressing certain ideas, I prefer that term, but 1 care little for terminology," said -Mr. Hoover. "The essential thing is that the republican party has pledged it self, by platform, by the actions of Its majority in the senate, by the re peated statements of Senator Hardinf that they undertake the fundamental mission to put into living being the principle of an organized association of nations for the. preservation of peace. The carrying out of that promise is the test ot the ntire sin cerity, integrity and statesmanship Of the republican party." Ariminlxtrution Held Failure. "I believe that .since the armistice the present administration has -made a failure by all the tests that we can apply. No man would be so narrow as to condemn the patriotism of one balf of his countrymen. "But if we are. to maintain and sus tain party government, if we are to hold truth as our only means of ex pression of the will of the majority, any party that fails as a party should and must be retired from office.' Mr. Hoover reviewed the support given by tbe republican party to win ning the war. Half of I". S. Held lenorrd. "But with victory accomplished, the leaders of the democratic party, dis regarding this co-operation, decided to ignore one-half of the people of the United States and to make peace alone. Here. I believe, lies the be ginning of its failure in statesman ship. "To have obstinately held up the peace Tf the world for 18 months; to have rejected the opportunity of amicable adjustment of differences as to methods: to have projected the is sue into the presidential election, is the greatest failure of American statesmanship since the Civil war. "Real regard for the welfare of our people and the world would have ac cepted the treaty with reservations and then, if they thought Jt so vital a matter, have gone to the country on the political Issue of correcting the reservations. The solemn referen dum is not on the league, it is on the failure of the democratic party." COLLEGE SINGERS NAMED T we 114 y-Four Oul of 87 A.-pirants ClxJsen by Madrigal Club.

LIFE DREAM FULFILLED Marie McLeod, When 8 Years Old, Ward of Methodist Mis-Jons in Far North. TACOMA, Wash.. Oct. 9. (Special.) The dream of Marie McLeod's life was fulfilled "when, a few days ago, Mrs. J. H. Parsons of Tacoma, national secretary for all Methodist missions in Alaska, came to her and asked that she go back to the Jessie Lee home in Alaska as a teacher. When Marie was 8 years old she learned of the infant Jesus and Christian faith in the Jessie Lee home, then conducted by "Mamma" Newhall. She sailed Wednesday from Tacoma, where she has been a visitor during the last week, for the Aleutian islands. When she was a child she was taken into the Jessie Lee home, established in 1884 by the Methodist home mis sionary socity of tire- United States, and received her early education there, after which she went to Car lisle, Pa., and was graduated and fit ted for teaching among her people. Teacher In Arctic. She taught for four years at Kotze bue sound in the government home, far beyondthe Arctic circle, and de voted herself to the instruction of the Eskimos in their enis, or ice houses. In this work she was forced to teach and practice nursing and instruct them in health and sanitation, be sides the regular school work for the children. Miss McLeod tells of the great suf fering at Kotzebue sound because of the influenza epidemic three years ago. Hundreds of children were left orphans and were cared for by the devoted teachers of the schools and missions. Many of the children were frozen and often lost feet or hands from exposure. Girl to Study at Pullman. Another interesting student of the Jessie Lee home is Mary Neilsen. who has come to Washington to enter the normal school at Bellingham. She will fit herself to teach among the northern races. She is one of the most skilled needlewomen of the school and will specialize in domestic science. Many of the natives are training themselves in the United States to be able to help the people of their land. Jennie Abuk, -a full-blooded Eskimo girl, is at Rapid City, S. D. in one of the leading hospitals training to be a nurse. She will go back to her people when her course is finished. Simeon Oliver, of Eskimo descent, came down with Mrs. Parsons from a recent trio she made covering 6000 miles. He will enter Northwestern university at Chi cago, together with Chester Newhall, son of the head of the school. Simeon is a talented musician. NEW LINE AIDS LUMBER (Continued Krqm First Pafre.)

For those desiring to establish their own distributing yards, space will be rented at a reas onable price and for the smaller lumbermen throughout the west coast arrangements are being made to receive the lumber on consign ment and dispose of it on a commis sion basis, all transactions to be safeguarded in the most conservative way. On the ground there will be erected a manufacturing plant, box factory and planing mill, and every facility for working the lumber to the best advantage. At the present time the water rate from the Pacific to the Atlantic via the Panama canal is about 25 per cent lower than the present rail rate and, with the combined effort of the Pa cific coast, it is thought that the water rate can be reduced to possibly 50 per cent. Terminal facilities on the Pacific coast may be established for the purpose of receiving lumber in car lots to be shipped via water .to this New York terminal, to be dis posed of by consignment or through a Pacific coast organization. Other Product to Be Handled. While the interest in the project is primarily because of-rts dinect bear ing on the critical situation of a large percentage of the lumber pro ducers of the northwest, brought about by the increased freight rates, whereby $8 a thousand was added to the price of lumber delivered to the Atlantic .seaboard, the projected steamship line will also include ships fully equipped with refrigerating fa cilities prepared to handle any and all products of the northwest. The fruit and vegetable carriers, accord ing to Mr. Thomle. can be constructed and ready for service by the next har vest. The plans of the International charterers' corporation also includes the development and transportation of oil fuel from the port of Tampico, Mexico, to all ports of the world. For the conveyance of this oil the ship building plant at Everett will soon commence the construction of six 12,-500-ton oil tankers and five large oil storage tank systems will be con structed at different ports of the Pa cific coast, including Puget sound and the Columbia river. Mr. Quayle issued a statement yes terday in which he set forth the man ner in which the entire project came to his attention at about the time the recent northwest rivers and har bors congress was assembled. Sen ator Thomle was to have appeared be fore the congress in person to ex plain the project in detail, but was detailed in New York at that time. According to a long telegram received by Mr. Quayle last Monday, Senator Thomle will be in Portland within the next two weeks and will make known to interested shippers3is plan in de tail. ; "" "About a year ago," said Mr. Quayle, "the Western Oregon' Tie and Lum ber company Si which F. C. Walters is president, O. H. Ball, secretary, and Charles A. Hardy, attorney, an or ganization of something over 60 of the smaller sawmills in the Willamette valley, appealed to the Oregon state chamber of commerce to assist them in procuring a 'milling-in-transit rate, their and now enjoyed by the mills of the state of Washington and the city of Portland. Relief Not "Vt Granted. "We "appeared .with the Lumber men's association before the Portland district freight traffic committee and the public service commission. Up to date, the relief has not been granted, but we are assured of a hearing very soon before the public service com mission, at which time a decision will be given. If the petition is granted, the smaller mills of Oregon will en Joy the same privileges as are now enjoyed by the mills of Washington and of Portland in allowing their lumber to be milled in transit with out the additional freight rate now charged. "But is a well known fact that equipment of the railroads is inade quate to handle promptly the com merce of this country at the present time. . The freight rates have been increased to the extent that there is added to the price of lumber delivered to Mississippi valley points about $5 a thousand, and to Atlantic seaboard points about $8 a thousand, with a We carry a complete line of Luggage Trunks, Traveling Bags, Suitcases, Portfolios. llllll ' lesser rate on southern pine from gulf ports. "The increase of freight rate Is such a handicap to the western mills that orders from the middle west and east practically have ceased, leaving the mills of Washington and Oregon with yards filed with lumber and no market. This has caused many mills to close down and more are soon to follow. The profits are centered in the stocks of lumber piled in their mill yards. This lumber was manu factured at an extreme high oper ating cost and it is feared many of the sawmill men throughout the west will be forced to go into bankruptcy and the banks furnishing the funds to carry on the business will be losers, as well as the sawmill operators. Remedy Is Sought. "Realizing the handicap under which the Oregon mills have been working, it prompted us to endeavor to work out a plan in the question of rates and shipping that would be ot advantage to our mills in this state. 3.
