Amendment to Rates From Interior
Points to California to Go Into
Kffect August 2.
A considerable movement of grain
and grain products from the interior
to California through Portland is ex
pected to result from a recent action
of the Northern Pacific railway in
adopting an amendment to its tariff
making a Bet of rates in this traffic
applicable for the first time through
Portland. The amendment will be
come effective August 2. according
to word received yesterday by the
traffic bureau of the Port of Port
land and commission of public docks.
from F. H. Fogarty, assistant general
freight agent of the Northern Pacific
railway.
The rates heretofore have applied
on grain, flour and mill feed from
Montana, tne Oakotas and Minnesota
to California via Puget sound ports
only in connection with the coastwise
service erf the Pacific Steamship
company. Recent increase of this
coastwise steamship service from
Portland to California to two sail
ings a week for San Francisco and
other California ports was urged upon
the railroad by the port traffic bu
reau as ample reason for naming at
least the same rates through Portland
s through Seattle and Tacoma on
this freight. The route from the ter
ritory to California involves both a
horter rail haul and a snorter water
haul through Portland than through
the sound ports.

conversion of foufr more Ferris-type
shipping: board wood halls into sailing
schooners here, it was stated by G. P.
Matthews, shipbuilder, who has just

type hull into the schooner Undaunted.
F. C Knapp, president of the Penin
sula Lumber company, and also of the
Peninsula Shipbuilding company, is in

Undaunted Oregon-Built.
The Undaunted is a full-rigged five
topmast schooner owned by a number
of Portland business men and inter
ests, including the Hart-Wood Lum
ber company and G. F. Matthews.
Title to the vessel is now vested in
Mr. Matthews, her builder, who pur
chased the hull, according to custom
house records, from Captain W. Z.
Haskins of the Oregon & Ocean cor
poration. Like the schooners Oregon Pine and
Oregon Fir, which were completed
from wood steamer hulls of the Pen
insula type, the Undaunted was built

Into her construction. The Western
Spar company turned out her masts
and booms, the blocks and all the iron
work in the vessel were supplied by
the Associated Engineering corpora
tion, and tne sails were made by the
Pacific Tent & Awning- company.
Ship Sized "With Sfacklne.
William Green & Co. had charge of
the work of rigging the Undaunted
and completed the job in 30 working
days. A sizing machine, invented by
Mr. Green, was employed for the first
time in sizing the ship's wire rigging.
By means of this device, cables were
covered at the rate of 120 feet in 20
minutes, according to Mr. Green.
Distinctive features of the Un
daunted's tophamper are a square sail
in two halves on the foremast, a
raffey and gaff-topsail, both on the
foretopmast, and a ring-tailed topsail
on the spanker. Otherwise her rig is
of the conventional schooner type.
Under full sail she will spread about
10,000 square yards of canvas.
A new procedure in outfitting at
this port was worked for the first
time when the Undaunted's masts
were stepped complete, with lower
mast and topmast all in one piece, and
with the sails attached.

QUARTERS. Paris, July 2. In the
old town of Filsen, In Czecho-Slova-kia,
where the cnimneys of gun works
and breweries have for years drenched
with smoke the streetsthe gables and
towers of deserted monasteries, and
the airy spire of the superb cathedral,
there is a little park. It is outside
of the smoke clouds, bounded by two
tiny rivers, and if a visitor turns his
back upon the town he can see toward
the east the round, smooth, green,
ytoheraian hills with their patches of
Iciark pines and their rows ot white
stones along the roadsides.
That park haa long been an escape
from the town and. because there
were many to seek escape there, it has
been a populous, littered place un
til a few months ago. It is not less
populous now, but it is much cleaner,
for on regular days there descends
upon it a small army of small people,
boys and girls from the Filsen schools,
with a rake and kasket and wheel
barrow and hug wicker broom. The
leaves are gathered, the papers picked
up, the paths carefully swept. The
municipal brewery which . owns the
park pays for the work and the small
army which has accepted a public re
sponsibility is discharging it with
aignity and success.
.Idea of Service World Wide,
In a Saskatchewan prairie town a
club of Canadian boys is gathering
every scrap of newspaper or rag that
can be baled and sold to the refuse
merchants. In New South Wales Aus
tralian ' boys and girls have estab
lished and maintain -a tea room for
blinded service men. A huge ship
ment of garments, saved and mended
by Chinese children, was sent some
time ago to poor children in Siberia.
In Poland school children have culti
vated gardens, in California they have
made toys for children s hospitals, in
Hungary they are knitting for them
selves and for their poorer neighbors.
All these children are a part of
the same great enterprise. They are
expressing, each group in the way
that its own ingenuity suggests, the
idea of service to the common good
Some of them are giving money from
their expending allowance,- some are
earning with their own hands and
giving to the funds that go to help
ful work, some are giving service di
rect that helps to increase the well-
being of their neighbors, just around
the corner, or halfway around the
world.
Jnaiora Proving; Their Worth.
They are all part of the Junior Red
Cross and they are all proving one
very important fact about that or
ganization. Ttrey are showing their
elders that under all circumstances.
In all sorts of places and conditions,
they are capable of grasping the ideal
of service and can immediately, and
successfully, find a way to express it.
The Junior Red Cross is a movement
much discussed at the present time
and its practical possibility is often in
question. That Red Cross societies
have become a world-wide agency
for sustained humanitarian effort i
understood. That the next generation
may be expected to carry a still
greater burden of humanitarian effort
is not often disputed. That the world
would be bettered if the ideal of the
Red Cross, the ideal of service, could
be introduced universally into educa
tion is a living faith that is growing
among people everywhere. But the
children themselves have had to prove
to some of their elders that they
could learn practical benevolence by
the practice of it.
They are proving It daily In nine
countries. The Junior Red Cross is
a part of the national society in those
nine countries, which are: Australia,

Nltept Irfjim Brvahed Away.
The children have had to demon
strate their practical capacity, be
cause, although the theory of learning
service by the practice of it Is readily
grasped by adults, there is, when the
idea comes freshly to the mind of a
group of parents or teachers, very
often a skeptical question: "What
will the children really do? We can
see how splendid it would be for thera.
to learn kindness, practical kindness,
service to other children or to the
whole community, but what are they
going to do?"
Or if the listeners are teachers, they
sometimes shake a sad head over the
difficulties of teaching so many dif
ferent old ideas and the impossibility
of bringing in this new practice and
they say: "Ah. yes. that might be
done with the children of some coun- .
tries but not with ours. Our children
could be told of the principle, but
what could they do?"
In spite of this skepticism, the chil
dren are going ahead to demonstrate
the flexibility, the fecundity and the
power of their imagination. Wher
ever they are, whatever they have
been through in life, or education,
they have in common this capacity to
make superbly real the sympathetic
suggestions of their elders. Their
minds are not content with abstrac
tions: ideas that remain abstract
quickly lose interest for them, but
they can turn almost any abstract
idea into concrete use by their own
Invention. The Junior Red Cross is
entering the school system of nine
countries and preparing to go much
further, because it is founded upon
the fundamental nature of children,
their ingenious Imaginations and their
innate goodness of heart.
38 Countries Embraced
Neither the ideas nor the institu
tion have anything of novelty about
them, and many countries have done
the same under other names for
many years. But never before has
there existed a world league of such
workers, an organisation by which
children everywhere, under many
flags, but one symbol, could feel a
solidarity in this Impulse toward
kindness. There never has been a
time before when a humanitarian or
ganization of 38 countries has asked
the children in all these countries to
help in Its work and learn its work,
so that they may help also when they
are men and women. The varied, in
genious, practical response of the
children has proved that at last has
been found a motive and a means so
close to the natural instincts of chil
dren, so simple and so powerful as
to take a place in the educational
practice of many different teachers
under the name of the same secular
organization and with a chance of
giving the children the feeling that
they are all, regardless of race and
color, creed and boundary, workinsT
together to help the world.
Between these groups are passing
letters and postcards, samples of
school work and handcraft. One
junior activity in which nearly all,
particularly the older children, want
to participate Is this interschool cor
respondence. By this interchange
they may all be made conscious of
their common purpose. There are
those looking hopefully on the future
of this work who believe that na
tional and racial hates are as much
the result of teaching as are lan
guage and manners; that they are
passed on from generation to gen
eration as needlessly and as crim
inally as some sorts of disease. There
are those who lodge a great hope in
this junior work, because they think
that through it the children of the
world may discover their common
humanity.
