Should . Portland be swept by a Sreat

people of the Bay City. So says Chea
ter Deer Inn, one of the San Franclaco
sdjusters, who la now a member of tne
board of underwriters of Portland.
Tba reason, aaya. Mr. Deerlng, la that

". - While the Portland board of under
writers disclaims all responsibility for
" the circular letter--urging- agenta " fo
I flight the bill to repeal the law requiring
. a f64,000 deposit of Insurance oompa-
nles doing business in Oregon, the
board, nevertheless, wishes It distinctly
. understood that It . Is . opposed to the
- bill. -
"The board," said Mr. Peering, "con
aiders the letter very 111-adrtsed and
V would not for a moment father any auch
1 proposition. . We believe, however that
the deposit - la for the benefit of the
people. - i .
- Al the "praaent" time,", continued the
insurance man. "there la not a alngle un

'"It ha a been aald by tboaa who favor

' Thl Insurance rraterayyofjortlan,
"MtMr KflOwn- ad tha Portland board of

V' to disclaim authorship, as well aa all
knowledge, of a certain anonymous clr
r ; cular latter advocating draatfcs maaanrea
to prevent tha repeal of tha ao-called
' deposit law of tha state of Oregon. --
We believe that tha deposit law la a
good ona and of material benefit and
we, as law-abiding oltlaena. knowing
that tha majority ehoyXd rule, and con
fident of the wisdom of our legislators,
have' mad no effort nor will wa make

com to the -conclusion that the effort
of th government to raise the fleet

over the snows of that country la dea
tlnad to, failOre owing to many adyerae
oondltlona. . -' ..,- . -
In the first place dog are superior

reindeer. . ' , . , , . ,
Take Too l,ong to forage.
. "For traveling long distances' across
tha lea and enow fields.- said Mr. El'
Hott, - "doge are the best. They , are
more easily handled ' and mind their
drivers better than do the deer, which
make no their minds to start In a cer-
aln direction and are changed Into the
desired course with difficulty. Again,

The dogs eat their ration ami -curl-up

for the next day's work. With the
reindeer It la different, aa they have to
be led aome distance from the town
or-camn and allowed to forage around
for 'a small ration of aaaee, aomettmee
taking the most of the -night to appease
their hunger, the result being that they
are tired, and sluggish when they take
up the trail the following day, and on

. "Th effort of the government to
solve the reindeer and- Eskimo problem
by the deer-ralalig Industry ,,ln the
hands of Laplanders la about as prac
ticable aa It would be to rmport a band
of forelcners to make wooden ahoe fo.
that nurDose are a drunken crew, of
American consumption." continued Mr.
Elliott. "The Laplander brought for
primitive minda.. Their methoda of
handllnr reindeer are outdated and not
practicable to American use. It Is true
some are becoming wealthy as a result
of their business, but . the Eskimos
are securing little or no benefit from
their work, -which could b .donj by
whit man with prom.

' "The use of the reindeer for meat.

bualnesa and In my opinion would eolve

- Tholr Pnbllo PchU jb90t Tndei
ITn'onib" of tho Politician Is
Heard With Interest.' t
Jacob A. Rli of Kw Tots, l-pollce
reporter, ' whos friendship wlthPr
Ident ' Roosevelt : date from . th time
when Roosevelt was police commis
sioner of New York, and unconven
tional lecturer, talked himself Into th
hearts of a houseful at the Whit Tem
ple last averring.
"Bow to help the small boy who
haan't any ahow at all" was Rlls" theme.
No formal subject was announced and
none was needed. - The fact that Jacob
Rlia was to talk drew the crowd and tbe
two hours passed Quickly.' ,
- That neglect of the street urchin is
"laying a heavy mortgage on tomor
row" 1 th way Rlls puts It. Ha told
how he became Interested la hi first
ITony-wha , waa-sllnglng maonth
window of St George's church sim
ply - because, the stained - glass repre
sented law. order, Christianity ana
everything the gamin felt to bo out
side his world. Then Rlls told more
of hi gospel of common sens kindness.
Stsrriar Better On.
Bow "Tony," hi nam for any unit
In th multitude, lived and breathed
waa Rlls first point. - He likened th
tenement house to a herring barrel,
"except that th herring have tha ad
vantage of being dead.
A ' tremendous warning to Portland
against allowing Its publlo schools to
get under political control waa pounded
Into his hearers by tb big, bony man of
Danish birth, who beamed at them
through his spectacles and swung his
arras like flails. Then he drank another
class - of water his - eighth and
plunged Into the topic nearest his heart
of all the right of tha boy and girl
to play. "Playing is the normal 'condi
tlon of th child." aald he. "A small
boy la like a boiler with th steam al
ways up; It's Just stilling and ready
to bnst th boiler. So whan th boy
of tb tenement finds a sign "No ball
playing bare,' In his 10 by IS foot back
yard and th policeman won t let him
play ball on the street, it' no wonder
that he run with th gang. When we
read of hi beating np a policeman It'
imply that the boiler has busted."
"Pay Up, Own VP, Shut TJp."
Mr. Rli told of th athletlo league
of th New Tork publlo schools whos
membership 1 now 100,000 and wboea
motto Is, "Pay up, own up, shut up."
Incidentally this league ha dona more
to atop cigarette smoking among boys
than all tha laws aver passed, he de
clared.
"Th right of th boy to play ball
la aa sacred as ths habeas corpus and
hould be aa sacredly preserved," cried
Mr. Rlls, finishing his lecture with th
quotation which baa perhaps made him
better known aa a common sense re
former than anything else he baa ever
said or written. .
Tbe Rlls lecture waa on of th X M.
