PARTY FAILURE CITED

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."

ALASKAN GIRL GOES
BACK HOME TO TEACH
Four Years Spent Beyond
Arctic Circle.
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.

grades ' required has increased ship-j
meats from, the west to the extent 1
that nearly 50 per cent of all the '
lumber handled through New Y'ork i
City this year has come from the ,
Pacific coast. i
On- the 800-acre tract comprising 1
the Fulton terminal will be estab- I
lished a terminal lumber -yard, which j
will be placed at the disposal of the ,
Pacific' coast lumber manufacturers,
large and small. 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

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.
