Blame for tha death of 4-year-old Don Thompson was placed upon the boy's father, Hiram Thompson of Boring, by Dr. George Parrish, city health officer, who said that medical assistance was spurned until the eleventh hour. The Thompson boy died of diph theria. He was brought into the city by his father on August 12, and, according to Dr. Parrish, was so ill then that the father stopped in the Mount Scott district and tele phoned to a Christian Science prac titioner to meet him on the west side of the river. The case was reported to the health bureau on Sunday by the practitioner and a culture proved the disease to be diphtheria. "On Monday morning Dr. Abele and myself called and talked to the father," said Dr. Parrish in a formal statertent issued yesterday. "We begged him to let the health bureau take Ais' child to the isolation hos pital and give him antitoxin. It was explained to the father that the child was dangerously ill and would positively die unless the treatment was given. According to Dr. Parrish, the father refused to permit the boy to receive medical aid until the last moment. "Such ignorance is inexcusable said Dr. Parrish. "Where the life of a child is taken without giving that child the benefit of the best there is the parents should be ptanished. This is but one of a number of cases of diphtheria that have died this year that might have been saved."

VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 19. (Special.) Judge George B. Simp son has granted a non-suit in the case of Frank Bracha against the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail road company, in which Bracha sued the company for $50,000 for dam ages arising from the death of his wife. He sued as executor of the estate of his wife.

Mrs. Bracha was employed by a local cannery and was going home one nig'ht and cut -across the rail road tracks instead of going to the crossing.

The row that has been in progress here for the past two weeks due to an order of the council demanding the destruction of the first redwood tree planted in Salem probably will be settled at a meeting of the coun cil to be held Monday. A. N. Bush, local banker, today tenl a letter to the council in which he -.greed to place on the tree a number of electric lights anct pay the cost of the illumination. Th tree was planted here in the year 1850, and was iloscly associat ed w'th the early history ol this city. The council, at the time the o-vier for destruction of the tree was issued, declared that it was lo cated on a prominent corner of the city nd had interfered wlCi traffic CAMP MONTAGUE, Aug. 19. (Special.)' When the Mazamas re turned to their several homes this evening it was with many memories of their annual outing in the Three Sisters district, an outing that was perfect in every respect, not ex cepting two days of rain. Fairly gorged with scenery, physically fit after a fortnight of roughing it and inspired more than ever with a love of the mountains, the members of tha party proclaim that it was one of the most successful of all Mazama outings. Every peak in this vicinity has been scaled, some making three climbs in the last three days. Wednesday saw a 100 per cent climb of the South Sister, that is. every one who started made the top. One party of 15 bivouacked at the foot of the mountain tne evening ueium making the climb, while another left here at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, making a total of 41 scalv ers. It was by far the hardest trip of the outing, and although several cases of mountain sickness devel oped each individual struggled on to the summit. Top Is Perfect Crater. The top of the South Sister is a perfect crater, filled with snow and ice, with a tiny lake set off to one side. Not a cloud was in s'ght yes terday and the view could not have been more complete. To the north Mount Hood and Mount Adams were visible and to the south. Mount Scott and Mount Thielsen by Crater lake. Mount Bailey. Diamond peak ana the Cowhorn stood out plainly. Nu merous lakes could be seen, includ ing the large Waldo lake. Elk lake and others. To show that his climb of the Middle Sister was not an accident, young Robert Penland, the seven-year-old husky, was one of those making the ascent. The ascent of the North Sister on Tuesday was made by five Mazamas who set out late in the morning for a try at the challenging peak. The Mazama outing committee had rib bon badges printed for those who ascended the Middle and South Sis ters, but printed none for the North Sister, because Its peak was consid ered almost inaccessible. The Ma zamas who started out with more hope than confidence and actually made the top of the highest pinnacle after a hard climb over ice and rocks were: John R. Penland, leader, John R. Byers, Robert W. Osborn, Lee Benedict and Arthur J. Emmcric. North. Sister Scaled. Only 12 people had made the top of the North Sister and registered prior to the successful climb of the party of five. During the 1910 out ing of the Mazamas in this district the following registered in the Ma zama book at the summit, the first record, presumably, ever left there by a human being: H. H. Prouty, G. W. Stewart, E. E. Coursen, G. R. Coursen, J. W. Benefiel, E. Louise Almy and H. H. RiddelL On August 29, 1914, the single name of L. H. Weir was registered and during the Mazama outing in 1916, H. H. Prouty, E. F. Peterson, A. S. Peterson and Tom R. Jones made the climb. All attempts since that time had failed of their goal. The total time taken in making the climb Tuesday was five hours. and three to return. Going to the source of the Collier glacier, the largest glacier in Ore gon, the party ciimDett me extreme southern profile of the mountain to the base of the pinnacle. Then swing ing to the west lost eome elevation in getting around the spur. Here the real fun began. A small ice flow, extremely precipitious, had proved a barrier to other attempts, but Pendland roped the other mem bers of the party together and cut ice steps to the very end of the ice against the wall of rock. Here on a very small shelf the party worked its way across. On the return one of the party slipped off and but for the ropes would have been dashed to pieces far below. Bend Sawmills Visible. The weather was freezing and a heavy fog enveloped the peak. Reaching the chimney which leads to the saddle between the twin peaks of the North Sister, the climb ers had to proceed aiowly, cutting steps in the ice. The ciimb of the main pinnacle was made in a little over an hour. From the top Mount Hood could be seen plainly, as well as the many other peaks. The sawmills at Bend were plainly visible and all of cen tral Oregon was laid out In checker board style. The only animal life seen on the climb was a huge tim ber wolf which crossed a snow field ahead.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 19. (Special.) James E. Nelson today filed petition to have B. H. Nelson show cause why the will of Charles S. Nelson, who died July 28, should not be set aside and the property equally distributed among the heirs. The will bequeathed four brothers and a nephew $1 each, and the remainder to B. H. Nelson, brother, and his . nephew, Richard Leon Nelson, son of B. H. Nelson. B. H. Nelson was appointed executor to act without bonds, and trustee of all the property received by the nephew, with power to manage and use until the nephew became of legal age. The will was dated May 8, 1922, being witnessed by Robert R. McClure, D. F. Morrow and A. M. Curtin. The appraised value of the estate Vas $5386. The petitioner stated that his brother was incompetent to make a will and that during the period of several months before his death he was weak and deranged, and that B. H. Nelson, realizing that Charles S. Nelson was not mentally com petent, unduly influenced his brother to make the will; and aroused in the mind of the decedent a suspicion, distrust and dislike of the petitioner and others who would benefit if the estate were distributed to the heirs, as provided by law, if no will were made. The petition Bays: "B. H. Nelson did this purely and solely that he might thereby acquire for himself a greater share of the property of the estate of the decedent." works betterments is to be rushed in an effort to complete it before the first of the year.
