played and Mendelssohn conducted.
In a letter to a friend Clara said: "I
never heard a symphony receive
such applause. All through it,
Mendelssohn, who conducted, was
delightful. The greatest pleasure
shone from his eyes." .
To the diary her husband con
fided: "Happy evening, which I shall
never forget My Clara played every
thing in go masterly a fashion and
with such profound und3rstanding,
that everybody was delighted. In
my artistic life also this has been
one of the most important of days.
My wife realized this and rejoiced
at the success of my symphony al
most more than at her own. With
God's help then I will follow this
road further. I feel so cheerful now,
that I hope to bring to the light of
day many a thing which shall re
joice men's hearts."

Zealots in the enforcement of the
prohibition law, who transported
three loggers hundreds of miles be
cause the trio had a pint of moon
shine in their possession, received
little encouragement from Federal
Judge Bean yesterday, when the
jurist fined the three men 2,5
apiece and then-suspended sentence
in order to give them time to earn
the money.
Even the federal prosecutor, Allan
Bynon, saw so little merit in the
prosecution that he presented to the
court the ridiculous aspects of the
case. In the event that the prose
cution had followed the ordinary
routine of federal court procedure,
the government would have been
forced to spend thousands of dollars
to collect the $75 in fines.
All Head ot Families.
According to the evidence laid be
fore Judge Bean, the three men,
Oeorge Turner, Tom O'Brien and
thil Morrow, were all loggers re
siding in the vicinity of Chiloquin,
northeast of Klamath Falls. All
three were heads of families and
bore excellent reputations.
A month ago, in company with a
fourth man, they were stopped by
a deputy sheriff and a search of
their car disclosed a pint bottle of
moonshine. Through some inex
plainable reason, one of the men
was taken before a justice of the
peace and let off with a ?25 fine.
Turner, O'Brien and Morrow were
sent to jail, haled before a United
States commissioner, bound 'over to
the United States grand jury and
transported, at government expense,
from Klamath Falls to Portland.
They have remained in the county
jail here for the past month.
Yesterday the trio, having previ
ously laid their case before Mr.
Bynon, appeared before Judge Bean
and entered pleas of guilty. The
prosecutor commenced to outline
the case.
Government Saved Expense.
"The fourth man was allowed to
go before a justice of the peace,"
Mr. Bynon stated. "He was fined
only $25."
"That's just what the fines will
be in this case," cut in the court.
"The defendants will be granted a
stay of execution for 30 days in
order to give them time to earn the
money with which to pay the fines."
If the case had followed the regu
lar channel, the government would
have been forced to transport a
half dozen witnesses from Klamath
Falls to Portland for attendance at
the grand jury and then to have
returned the witnesses at govern
ment expense to their home. The
same- procedure would have to be
followed at the time of the court
hearing. It was estimated that, Jiad
"the three men elected to stand trial
for possessing the pint of liquor,
that the government would have
been forced to spend about $2000 to
cony let them.
Moonshine Ranchman Fined $500.
But, while the judge was lenient
with the three who appeared to be
victims of circumstance, two men.
into whose offenses the spirit of
commercialism entered, found little
favor at the court's hands.
A. K. Burnside, who planted
moonshine along with potatoes on
his little farm near Estacada and
then dug up the liquor as customers
appeared,' was fined $500. Burnside
pleaded guilty to a charge of pos
sessing 27 pints of liquor, which had
been dug up on his "moonshine
ranch" by a possee of federal pro
hibition agents who raided it re
cently. V". H. Hare. Astoria hotelman,
who also pleaded quality to a vio
lation of the prohibition law by
possessing moonshine, was fined
$250. Evidence showed that Hare
had hurled a suit case, containing
liquor, from a window in his house
when the place was raided recently
by prohibition agents.

Home Life Is Inspiration
of Great Composer.
Schumann Attributes Success of
Symphony to Wife.
BY P. E. N.
UNLIKE the hero of a recent
book, of whom the reviewer
says: "If there Is a place in the
schema of modern ways for genius
P could not find
It," Robert Schu
mann, the genius
who wrote the
"Spring" sympho
ny to be played
by the Portland
Symphony orches
tra next Wednes
day evening, found
in his perfect
home life inspira
tion for his cre
ative work.
I n September,
1840, Schumann
married Clara
Wieck, the pianist, and shortly af
terward wrote to a friend: "I have
an incomparable wife. If you could
only take a peep at us in our snug
little artist home!" Five months
later, when the composition of the
"Spring" symphony completely ab
sorbed him for five .weeks, his
young wife was often lonely, but
did not complain. , Instead, she
treated him "with double tender
ness" as he wrote in their common
diary, when, emerging from the
depths of a composer's joy and
torment," he penned this tribute to
her: "The symphony has given me
many happy hours; it is almost fin
ished; but one cannot entirely com
plete work until one has heard it. I
am often thankful to the good spirit
who hS let me accomplish so great
a work in so short a time. But now,
exhaustion follows many sleepless
nights; I am so light, so happy, and
yet so ill and weak. My Clara un
derstands this and treats me with
double tenderness. I will repay her
for it some day. But I should never
make an end if 1 were to try and
relate all the love which Clara has
shown me during this time, and
with so willing a heart. I might
have sought through millions with
out finding one who would treat me
with such forbearance and consid
eration." On the evening of March 31, 1841,
in the famous old Gewandhaus of
Leipsic the "Spring" symphony was
performed for the first time at a
conceit at which Clara Schumann
City Only One to Send Nine Out
of Ten Pupils From Eighth
Grade to High School.
The distinctive qualities in which
Portland leads other cities of the
wbrld were pointed out to the mem
bers of the City
club Friday at
their luncheon
meeting at the
Benson by Allen
D. Albert of the
Ellison - White
Chautauqua bu
reau, who declared
that this is the
only city that
sends nine out of
every ten pupils
school. The speak
er explained that
the greatest mortality in the schools
was after the eighth grade had been
reached and that from there to the
high school the percentage of loss
was enormous in most communities.
Mr. Albert also pointed to the
abundant space for play about the
school buildings provided here and
stated that Portland provided more
recreational opportunities in the
way of playground facilities for its
children than any city, of similar
siz in the country. In his analysis
of the city, a subject in which he has
specialised and on which he lectures
before both University of Chicago
and Northwestern university stu
dents, he pointed to one great obsta
cle in his opinion in the growth of
Portland. "There is no metropolitan
service in this great metropolitan
area," he said, explaining that a
spirit of co-operation could be fos
tered between the people of the state
and the city of Portland with the
development of so-called "personal
trade channels a human interest de
velopment." Dean E. C. Robbins of tne Univer
sity of Oregon school of business ad
ministration and C. C. Colt, vice
president of the First National bank,
were additional speakers on . yes
terday's programme.

the city who are eligible to the

vantage of it, "means that those

THREAT NOTE IS FOUND
Silverton Mayor Gets Loaded
Cartridge and Warning.
SILVERTON, Or., Dec. 2. (Spe
cial.) When the men of the Silver
ton Blow Pipe company reported
for work the other day they found
a sign on the outside of their office
door bearing; the inscription: "Quit
Mayor or this." The words "or this"
were followed by a 2'2-short loaded
cartridge. The letters "K. K." ap
peared at the bottom of the placard.
Some black stuff said to be either
tar or shoe wax was smeared across
two white feathers and a piece of
rope.
Although no clew so far has been
found it is thought that the matter
has in some way arisen from the
recent re-election of L. C. Eastman
as mayor, one of the owners of the
Silverton Blow pipe company.
The matter is being investigated
as the offense is a serious one in
the eyes of the law.

$400,000 Paid Out for Fruit,
Vegetables and Iabor Dur
ing 1922 Season.
HILLSBORO, Or., Dec. 2. (Spe
cial.) Oregon need feel no discom
fort in comparing; its earning power
from a producer's standpoint with
other Btates. Big returns from the
citrus districts of California, the
apple orchards of Wenatchee or
Yakima or the berry district of the
Snake-river country in no manner
overshadow the returns of Wash
ington county products.
Four hundred thousands dollars
has been paid over the counter at
the local cannery this season, 75 per
cent of which represents raw prod
uct and eupplies and the remaining
$190,000 representing labor. These
figures are ihi times those of its
1921 record and are merely the proof
of what to expect in the Willamette
valley in future years.
Among the fruits and vegetables
Included in the 1922 pack are apples,
raspberries, blackberries, loganber
ries, strawberries, pears, plums,
cherries, string beans, pumpkins,
squash, tomatoes and a few smaller
packs of various vegetables and
fruits.
The growth of this Washington
county industry has been so rapid
that it forced the cannery to have
double shifts during a large portion
of the season, at times running as
late as 2 A. M. Four hundred and
fifty women and 60 men were the
top payroll list for a portion of the
time. This season's contracts were
upwards of 120.000 cases.
