a Half
City's Poor, Sick, Jail Inmates
to Be Cheered; Churches
to Hold Services.
With granaries and warehouses
throughout the agricultural areas
of the state "bursting with the .
fruits of the harvest," tactories and
mills operating under pressure of
almost unprecedented demands, and J
unemployment almost unknown in I
the industrial sections, citizens of
Portland and Oregon have much to
give thanks for in their observance
of Thanksgiving day next Thursday.
Portland's celebration of the day
will center in religious services at
the various churches.
Horrors of war and the following
industrial depression of -the read
justment period safely weathered
and industry and agriculture well
on the road to prosperity, the United
States indeed has much cause for
heartfelt observance of the day of
thanks, the nation's leaders have
pointed out. especially when condi
tions in this country are contrasted
with conditions in the old world.
With the eword of "the unspeakable
Turk" unsheathed in the east and
all of Europe atop a powder maga- i
zine in consequence, peace loving:
America is serene and untroubled
in contrast, guiders of the country's
destiny have shown. v
Unfortunates Vot Forgotten.
Benevolent societies and indivi
duals will care for the city's poor,
the crippled and sick in hospitals
will not be forgotten, and the un
fortunates in jail cells will be
cheered as a result of well-developed
plans to bring the spirit of thanks
giving and attendant happiness into
the city's dark corners as well as
the places of sunlight.
And, as in past years, a special
effort will be made to bring the
stranger in the city, traveling men
and others kept away from family
firesides by unavoidable causes,
within the circle of -friendliness.
Restaurants and hotels, clubs and
other institutions will try to create
a homelike atmosphere.

O, the Spirit of Thanksgiving is elfin and elate,
His cheeks like any apple are rosy with the breeze;
And now he comes to sit with as beside an open grate,
While gray leaves and gay leaves are dancing in the trees.
O, chill is Old November npon the rnsset field,
O, wild is Old November across the sleeping plain
Bat rises yet oar laughter and kindles still the ember,
And all who will remember shall have their day again!
II.
The Spirit of Thanksgiving smiled a fanny little smile,
The eyes of him were pranking like elves ' upon a hill,
Vet deep within their merriment was neither gloom nor guile
Bat bright thoughts and white thoughts and fond thoughts still.
"O, who shall keep Thanksgiving?" so soft, so low, the words,
"Q, who shall know Thanksgiving, whenas my day is gone?
I read yoa then this riddle all hearts grown kind with living
Shall weary not.from giving and quicken with my dawn." 4
III.
O, the Spirit of Thanksgiving, beside an open fire,
Is here and there and everywhere, wherever yoa may be;
Nor ever hills shall bar him back, nor dreary leagues shall tire,
While old ways and old days are near to such as we.
Then all who will remember shall have their own again,
Though bleak is Old November and wild and wet and chill
For rises yet their laughter and kindles yet the ember,
And all who do remember shall keep Thanksgiving still!
MENORAH TOPICS NAMED
INTERCOLLEGIATE COXGRESS
AVILL OPEN THURSDAY.
Prominent Persons Will Make
Addresses During Sessions! of
Western Conference.
The far western conference, of the
Intercollegiate Menorah association
will open Thursday at 10 A. M. at
Temple Beth Israel when Dr. E. O.
iisson, professor of education and
philosophy --at Reed college, will
make the opening address on "The
Price of Democracy."
A special feature of the confer
ence is the dVbate to be held be
tween the University of Washington
and Portland chapters at 8 o'clock
Saturday evening in the B'nai B'rith
building on the question: "Re
solved, that the establishment of a
national home in Palestine is the
best solution of the Jewish prob
lem." The affirmative will be taken
by Lawrence Seltzer, Harry Berg
man and Leon Lewis of the Univer
sity of Washington, and the neg
ative, by Samuel S. White, Philip
Silver and Moses Tonkin of Port
land. Rabbi Jonah B. Wise will make
an address on the topic, "The
Menorah and the Community," at
the final session at Temple Beth
Israel at 10 A. M. Sunday. Other
prominent speakers scheduled are:
Dr. Nathan Fasten of the Oregon
Agricultural college, who will speak
on "Anti-semitism in Institutions of
Higher Iearning" at the B'nai
B'rith building at 2 P. M. Saturday;
Rabbi Samuel Kosh of Seattle, who
has taken as his topic "The Rift in
Jewry," at the Temple Beth Israel
at 8 o'clock Friday evening, and
Miss Julietta Kahn, national Men
orah secretary, who will speak at
10 A. M. Friday, at the B'nai B'rith
building. All assemblies are open
to the public.
Entertainment for the delegates
Includes a reception at the B'nai
that the school board be "enjoined
from selling the bonds for this rea
son. Illegality of the election, the
complaint alleged, was due to an in
sufficient number of posted notices
and the further fact that the polljng
places were not properly designated
in the election call.
Almost simultaneously with the
filing of the suit the school dis
trict and bo.rd members filed a
demurrer, alleging that the com-1
plaint did not state grounds suffi
cient to constitute a cause for action.
J. B. Hosford appeared for Mr. Miller
and Samuel H. Pierce for the school
district. There were practically no
arguments, Judge Stapleton stating
that he was familiar with the case.1
He immediately sustained the de
murrer of the district. This, in ef
fect, threw cut the suit, but Attor
ney Hosford served notice of ap
peal to the supreme court.
The suit is a move to obtain an
opinion from the supreme court
upon validity of the bond issue,
which has been questioned by Wood
& Oakley, a Chicago firm of bond
attorneys. This firm scrutinized
the bonds for a syndicate composed
of the Ladd & Tilton bank and two
Chicago bond houses, whose bid for
$300,000 of the bonds had been ac
cepted by the school board. The
firm turned down the bonds on the
ground that the election call desig
nated "various" instead of "usual"
or "regular" polling places.
This finding has been interpreted
generally as a quibble on an imma
terial technicality, possibly intended
to relieve certain of the bidders of
the necessity of taking the bonds
on a weakening market. Subsequent
offers of other firms to take the
bonds, despite the opinion of the
Chicago sttorneys, have been re
jected by the school board as too
low in price or stipulating too high
a rate of interest.
The Ladd & Tilton bank has ad
vised the school board that it stands
ready to fulfill its proposal to
purchase $50,000 of the bonds.

Dinner Assured Students.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa
lem. Or., Nov. 25. (Special.) A
real Thanksgiving dinner for every
Willamette student is the announced
purpose of the Mothers' class of
the First Methodist church. Every
out-of-town student who will be
unable to return home Thursday has
been asked to turn his name in at
the registrar's office. An invita
tion to a turkey dinner with some
Salem family will be forwarded to
all whose names are reported.
Chamber of Commerce Activities
for Development to Include
Settlement of Lands.
A campaign for the development
marketing of Oregon products will
be one of the main features of the
work that is contemplated by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce in
the state development scheme, for
which $300,000 will be asked on a
two-year basis in the drive to open
December 6.
For nearly a year the board of
directors of the chamber has been
gathering data to guide in a larger
and more aggressive plan for the
development of the state. It is be
lieved that this feature for improved
market conditions will prove espe
cially important in bringing the
state before the world and give it
Its proper place as one of the rich
est districts in the United States.
Other features of the campaign
include plans for land settlement
and for publicity. " Oregon is espe
cially rich in agricultural possibili
ties and only a small percentage of
the state's actually tillable acres
are now being utilized. It is recog
nized that the development of the
state's latent agricultural possi
bilities must be made of paramount
importance if the state as a whole is
to' prosper and go forward.
In conjunction with the activities
the publicity campaign is to be car
ried forward to tell the world of
Oregon's wealth and possibilities.
Action,- Laid to Showing That
Earnings Would Be Reduced
to Less Than 2 Per Cent.
A temporary restraining order is
sued yesterday by three federal
judges will prevent the Oregon puD
lic service commission's edict re
ducing telephone rates and provid
ing for installation of modern equip
ment from becoming effective De
cember 1.
An opinion signed by R. S. Bean
and C. E. Wolverton, judges of the
United States district court, and
William M. Gilbert, judge of the
United States circuit court of ap
peals, handed down with the tem
porary injunction, states that the
restraining order was issued be
cause the cut ordered by the com
mission would reduce the telephone
company's earnings to less than 2
per cent and because it was not
proved to the court that an emer
gency exists.
New Ringing? Ordered.
The public service commission's
order, issued October 30, provided
for reduction of rates on party lines
December 1 and immediate installa
tion of a new automatic ringing
device on party line systems. Un
limited business and residence serv
ice was not affected by the order.
The injunction will become effective
upon filing of a satisfactory bond
with the court by the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph company. The
amount of the bond will be fixed
later.
The opinion reads, in part, as
follows:
It is alleged in the bill and supporting
affidavits that the order Bought to be
enjoined will, if enforced, reduce the net
revenue of the plaintiff to less than 2
per cent annually on the value of Its
property devoted to public use. as ascer
tained and found by the defendant com
mission and subsequent additions and
betterments thereto.
Allegation Taken as True. '
This is not denied and must there
fore be taken as true for the purposes
of this hearing.
The uniform holding of the courts is
that rates prescribed by & public regu
latory body t be charged by a public
utility which produce such a result are
in violation of the 14th amendment to
the federal constitution and the taking
of property without due process of law.
The provisions of the order complained
of requiring the plaintiff to provide ad
ditional equipment was made before the
conclusion of a then pending hearing and
cannot be held to be an emergency order
within the meaning of section 71 of the
utility act. A preliminary injunction
will therefore issue upon the plaintiff
filing a- good and sufficient bond in
amount hereafter determined, conditioned
as provided in section 65 of the public
utility act.
Newspaper Left for Stage Line.
Max H. Clark, circulation man
ager of the Portland News, will
sever his connection with that news
paper December 1 to participate in
the active management of the
Camas Stage company, it was an
nounced yesterday. Mr. Clark has
had stock in that concern for some
time. He has worked in the news
paper business since he was 12 years
old.

THE greatest proof of Sonora's value is its popu-")
larity, but back of that popularity is the Sonora
tone which has revolutionized phonograph history, j
Such exceptional clarity and charm of reproduction
early won the applause of musical leaders. Then one
by one a vast public listened, became convinced, and
desired to own "the Highest Class Talking Machine
in the World". Between the Sonora model that is
exactly suited to your needs, and an inferior machine,
there may be nc difference in price. The difference
in satisfaction ir pride of possession, in purity and
fineness of tone is incalculable.
Sonora's loyalty to an ideal has won the public's
loyalty to Sonora. It is worth your while to hear the
hew Sonora models.
