Clarence Hedges Sleeps In Hotel
He Worked on 50 Venn Ago.
SALEM, Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Clarence Hedges, 64, arrived In
Salem Thursday from California and
passed last night in a room in a ho
tel which he helped to construct more
than a half century ago.
After losing his Job with the con
struction crew, because he turned a
hose on an Indian woman who was
sitting near the hotel, he learned the
printing business and for a time was
employed on the Salem Statesman.
At that time H. D'Arcy, one of the
oldest and best known residents of
Marion county, also was a .member of
the composing room staff of the local
newspaper. Other printers with
whom Mr. Hedges was acquainted in
the early days in Salem included D.
w. Craig, Sumter Craig, George Good,
the Dunbars and others who have
since become prominent in the affairs
of Oregon.
Mr. Hedges also was employed on
Tony Noltner's paper, the old Port
land Standard, and then drifted to
California and back again. Later he
returned to California and for 35
years was actively engaged in the
publication of newspapers In that
state. Afterward he settled at Dal
las. Or., where he purchased the
Chronicle, which he conducted for
five years.
Last spring he disposed of the
Chronicle, and has since been In Cal
ifornia. Although favoring Oregon as
a home, air. Hedges said he was un
able to remain here because of Mrs.
Hedges' health. In California Mrs.
Hedges is able to walk about, while
in Oregon she was confined to a wheel
chair by rheumatism for several
years. Mr. Hedges today visited the
several Salem newspaper and job
printing ottlues but found no fa
miliar faces.
LEWISTON SHRINERS HOST
120 Candidates Initiated in Orig
inal Mystic Ceremonial.
LEWISTOX. Idaho. Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) The biggest and most origina
Mystic Shrine ceremonial ever held
here took place Friday when 120 can
didates from every town in north
Idaho were Initiated. The streets
were filled with wearers of the fex
and weird-looking individuals whose
faces were strangely marked. The
initiation took place at 4:30 o'clock
In the afternoon, and was followed by
an elaborate banquet served to 350
Shriners and candidates from this
section of the Inland Empire. After
the banquet the entire body attended
"Just Around the Corner" at the Tem
ple theater.
The initiation ceremony , continued
after the show and some of the most
original and startling scenic and
stage effects ever seen in lodge work
were features of the occasion. It
was announced Friday that Lewiston
would be visited next March by Im
perial Potentate Garretson of Taco

the biggest gathering of Shriners

thinks that he is the only boy won
der in the United States it will not
take him long to change his mind.
Without doubt this young exponent
of chess is a wonder for his years in
his particular line, his feats at the
game having already astounded tne
chess masters of the old world. While
in England he met with as much suc
cess as on the continent, and of 64
games played by him in three exniDl
tions he lost only one. winning 43
and drawing ten. One of his greatest
feats was the playing to a stanastui
f 25 expert adult chess masters at
the sama table. But if not chess ex
perts Uncle Sam has in other lines a
few boy marvels nimsen ana none wi
them will have to sidestep to the
Polish youngster.
Their attainments also are along
very diverse fields. Take for ex
amnle the many exceptionally young
students who have just been edmitted
to our leading universities ana col
leges, most of them at an age when
other boys of their years are still
plying away in grammar scnooi.
Heading the line of freshman snake
dancers which uncoiled its length re
cently across the campus at the close
of a football game won by uoiumoia
university was 12-year-old Ldwara
Rochie Hardy, at his tender age a
wizard of varied learning. He is the
youngest "lad who has ever entered
Columbia university and probably of
any American university, and his rare
record of 187 per cent credits on en
trance examinations surpassed all the
freshman who lock-stepped behind
him in the snake dance.
Youna- Hardv is a chubby lad and
weighs 143 pounds. He was one of
the first to Bign up for the freshman-
sophomore tug-of-war and in his
home town in Pennsylvania is consid
ered a regular Babe Ruth In his abil
itv to wallop a baseball.
At 3 Edward started his comet-like
dash through the spaces of learning
in the kindergarten. He snot tnrougn
elementary and high schools, taking
three and sometimes four scholastic
years of instruction in one. His
father, professor of insurance in New
York university, selected Harvard for
the boy. The mother favored New
York university. But the boy was
born in the shadow of the Morning
side Heights school, lived on and
loved its campus, and it was nis ae
sire to enter Columbia, which finally
prevailed. He has his Harvard en
trance papers, obtained last spring
when his father sent him to Cam
bridge for examination.
His mother takes a number of Ed
ward's courses with him. The pair
are already familiar figures on the
campus. She relates that they often
go to the Metropolitan Museum to
gether, where the boy astounds
curators, and the public by reading
the legends on Persian and Indian
rugs readily. He also amuses him
self by buying packets of oriental to
bacco, silks and fruits and reading
the legends printed thereon.
His parents give him many ex
traordinary advantages. In 1918,
when his interest in astronomy was
lively, they took him to Denver to
witness a solar eclipse. He once took
up ' industrial engineering for a few
days and they took him to Detroit to
see the manufacture of automobiles.
Next summer, says Mrs. Hardy, they
will take the boy to Cairo, Egypt, to
get his first glimpse of the actual
labors of achaeologlsts.
An investigation of Edward's
habits and likes indicates that he is
normal in all things but learning. He
plays baseball in the streets, swims,
likes rice pudding and raisin cake,
according to his own confession, and
takes intense and perspiring Interest
in the annual quarrel for campus su
premacy between - sophomores and
freshmen and also in the university
football team.
Frederick Santee, another boy won
der who has chosen Harvard as his
alma mater, promises to shine In
baseball as well as in studies. He
enrolled in the freshman class at the
Cambridge institution of learning
just after he had passed his 14th
birthday.
Frederick began to spell when he
was 2 years-old. Within a few weeks
he could spell out whole sentences.
and before he was 3 years old he had
mastered the multiplication table. Be
sides English, he reads five languages
nuentiy r rencn, Spanish, Latin.
Greek and German. He has passed
analytical geometry, has begun work
ing in caicuius and is well advanced
in chemistry.
Frederick neither looks nor acts

His idea of a perfect day is to play
baseball until he is tired enouerh to
drop and then rest up by reading
or opanisn or Dy worKing out
problems in chemistry.
The youngest member of the class
of Wesleya'n this year is 15-year-old

DUTY ON MOHAIR DESIRED
Oregon Growers' Association to
. Submit Petition to Congress;
Mohair growers of Oregon, through
the Oregon Mohair Growers" associa
tion, have decided to petition con
gress to place an .Import duty on mo
hair. The growers say that goat
raisers of America have to compete
with cheap labor in South Africa and
Turkey, the two principal countries
producing mohair. .
Kaffir labor is employed -in herd
ing and handling in South Africa and
labor of a similar character is used
in Asia Minor, they say. They assert
also that American breeders of An
goras are cut off from the importa
tion of new breeding stock from both
of these countries. The association
has adopted a resolution asking that
the tariff on raw mohair be placed at
25 cents a pound.
