The Golden Lafile Soars Above Them AH With Digger, Better Bargains Disregard of simplest duties and excessive attention to politics have characterized 12 years of official life on the part of J. W. Bailey, state dairy and food commissioner. Evidence secured from the majority of counties In the state constitutes but repetitions of the dreary recital of filthy and unsanitary conditions tolerated by the commissioner among dairies that supply Portland with milk. .Arguing; , from any starting point whatever, having. as object, clean, milk for' Portland, the major obstacle In at taining this object is ' found to be ' the proved indifferent and negligent atti tude of State Dairy -and Food Com mis-, loner J.. W. Bailey. . .Local; forces . working for good milk demand therefore .that Commissioner Bailey cease his obstructionist tactics and become an active aid to the cam paign. Many. Back.

Portland: IX frandchlldren and Jl great grandchll ren. The funeral will be held at Mar tin's Bluff, Wash., Tuesday, September 21. others. No matter to whom appeal Is made for work the one appealing is re ferred to the commissioner. He is re sponsible, according to the plain read ing of the law for the healthy coadi'.ton of the cows, the sanitary condition of stables, the careful handling of the milk and Its quality." Ana the dairymen confess that they too, using another avenue of approach, find the office of the state dairy com missioner In the way of their putting their premises in sanitary condition. But in these instances it Is a case of toleration. Many of the dairymen are of 'foreign nationality,- unable tp speak or understand much of the English language. Being ignorant pf the laws these have not put their dairies into told One of the - big attractions of tho Portland horae show, to be held October 7, I. and at the Oriental building on the exposition grounds, will bit the handsome road roach entered by 1L W. Treat of geattl. who captured sev eral awards In the horae show last year. Thia fin outfit will be seen on the streets, aa well aa In the ahow ring, for Mr Treat has written to tha horae ahow management that he will drive It each day off soma of the principal city thoroughfares. Especial Interest attachea to this en try as It la an exact duplicate of the famous stag coach Venture, driven bv Alfred Vanderbllt between Brighton and 1 l.ondon. Mr. Vanderbllt's novel Idea of driving the Venture regularly In Kngland has been a subject of discus sion 011 both sides of the Atlantic, forming the basts of many newspaper and magaslna articles. As Mr. Treat's coach, which he rails the Pioneer Is an exact replica or the vanderbllt out fit in every detail, it la expected that the opportunity to view it will be eag any Bought. Mr. Treat Is a skilled relnsman and III himself handle the four spirited steeds that will draw tho Pioneer. Every day of the horse show he will uae his stnge coach to take hla party from tho Portland hotel to the Oriental build ing and the vehlchs will no doubt be a novel slaht on tbe city streets. Mr. Treat will be faultleaaly dressed In driving costume and his guard will be clad In scarlet and gold coat, plaid breeches and box-cloth leggings. The guard will also carry a mall pouch and coach horn, giving tha final touch to the complete eoulDment or the fioneer. Visitors to the horse show are also to see some of the most expert drivers In the country, three slx-tn-hands be ing among the entries for the nig fall society event. Armour A Co., the Union Meat company and IX E. Fredericks have entered six-hands and the competi tion In this class win he very strong. The Armours sold a former six-ln-hand to one of the big circuses of the country which is now advertlalng It aa a head line feature. It is said that the horses to be shown hero compare favorably with the six that were sold. Another fsct lending Interest to this class s that Mr. Frederick wOl have In charge of his outfit, one of the pioneer stage drivers of the Pacific const and re puted to be the most skilled of all the old time stage drivers. As this is the date for the closing of entries for the horse show, presi dent Cronin of the Hunt club is anxious for all owners who have not yet done mn in sen A In their names. Those re ceived during the next day or two will be listed, but it Is desired to complete the various classes as soon a possible: RACE MEET IS FORMALLY OPENED (Continued Vrom Page One.) , FREE i A Can of Good Baking Powder With Every One Dollar or More Purchase Tuesday Portland's rTpmP "Zv'H for thc Store' mr0- , , .

That he has not told them what should be done la evidenced by investigations by state and city health officers, The Jour nal and others, who desire to make a good milk supply .for the city -certain. . What Evidence Shows. ' Talcing evidence locally,' In the case of the people versus bad milk, has been nearly completed. It has shown that: One hundred and six babies less than two years of age died in Portland as tha result of sickness directly traceable to bad milk, during the months of June, July and August and the first 15 days of September, 1909. The total number of deaths, the highest mortality ever recorded in . the same length of time In Portland ' was 140. meaning- that bad n-ilk murdered more than five sevenths of the babies that died in Portland dur ing the summer months. .Recourse to the law oh the subject, alone determines just where the re sponsibility lies. The law reads in language a lay.man understands: "Every person, firm or corporation engaged in the sale of milk or cream in suy city of 10,000 or more Inhabi tants, who keeps a cow or cows for the ournose of selline milk therefrom. shall, on the first day of April of each year, apply to the food and dairy com missioner or Inspectors appointed , by him for a certificate of Inspection and shall pay the sum of $2.50 for, the same. provided always that this certificate can be revoked at any time by said commissioner or Inspector when said dairy Is found not to be In a- proper con dition a to the, healthfulness of the cow or cows or, as tocleanliness." Large Percentage rilthy. Investigation locally by1 'the' city milk Inspector. The Journal and , others, brought "to light? the fact that no. less than 69 per cent of the dairies about the city: were, ifnsanitary and filthy, let alone tne. question or diseased or tuDer culousv: cows. That Commissioner Bailey's inspections of: these dairies were - so infrequent that In many in stances they were' no,t- inrorroed that licenses were required, was a. result of this same Investigation.' ' Going from the family In which' a baby's death ascrihed, to bad milk was charged. - to the- dairy. from which the milk came, ihe place vu found filthy and unsanitary in every Instances In spite off the accumulation of 'evi dence, stirring- appeals of mothers and (Mtleens, and .the citations from author ities. Commissioner Dailey was not per suaded to turn ' from his attitude of negligent indifference, except in one instance, where at the solicitation of the health office he- ordered the Tinn ier ' dairy on the Slough road closed, thus showing to the satisfaction of of ficers that the commissioner believes that he possesses the executive author ity he had previously disclaimed the possession or. Bailey Interferes. Vhen Commissioner Bailey Stated that he bellevvl tubercular milk whole some for babies, that dairies abou Portland were in giod condition, that ine mils u"riy was unexceueo; when city and state boards of health and health officers reported his failure to cooperate with them in any work of reforms: when the government experts who are detailed to help remedy exist- in? evil ronnmnns oeciared that Bailey plther would not or could not cooper ate me conviction came to the work- cr ror pure mute mat nothing perma nently beneficial or definite In the cru sade can be secured until Commission er Bailey has reen removed aa an ob structionist and either made an aid in no ine won r aunstitated by i qu!1f1-1 commissioner so expertly con vr-rssnt with the duties of euch an of fice. That his cooperation and conee- 7uently pure milk, will be made cer- ter the grounds, will receive buttons bearing numbers firom 1 to 2500, and should their button hold a prise bearing number their price 'ct admission will be more than returned to them. Button day is th creation of Secre tary Joseph M. Riesr of the Portland Fair & Livestock association. The mer chants of the city have enthusiastically supported him as the list of prizes will show and the day will be the cause of much merriment among; the crowd in attendance at the races tomorrow.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 10. Almost 80 years of potatoes, cabbage, corn and onions. Never a taste of meat, clam or lobster. The Rev. Henry 8. Clubb, 83 years old. president of the Vegetarian Society of America.' resident of Phila delphia, and temporary sojourner In Cleveland, is hale, hearty snd happy. "I was the smallest sort of a boy when I accented the Rlble as my srulde. ' said the Rev. Mr. Clubb. I studied the word from a practical ,-leupoinl How did the Bible Intend nnt I should liver one oi tne very first things I learned was that God never Intended that I should eat meat I was lust a small boy, but I made up my mind to accept Ood i advice. From hat day to this no morsel of beef or 4i or any otwr iiesn nas passea my OS Certainly no one who looks at the fresh, pink, healthy face of the Rev. Mr. Clubb would question the efficacy of vegetarianism at least as applied to tne Kev. Mr. Clubb. But Mr. Clubb was not content to merely practice vegetarianism. He wanted to preach it as welL So' away back In the '70s he affiUated with the Bible Christian church. The Bible Christian church la unique, but It is not numerous. In America there is but one congregation of the denomination. This one parish Is to be found In Philadelphia, and Rev. Mr. Clubb is its minister. Though 83 years old, he preaches every Sunday morning ana every Bunaay evening, exnoning the nock to stand Ilrm by tne vegeta rian creed. "The Bible Christian church," says Rev. Mr. Clubb, "Is orthodox. But Just as the Baptist church lays its special stress upon Immersion, so the Bible Christian church is emphatic In the mat ter of vegetarianism. It is our doc trine, our dogma ana our creea not to eat meat." FVortfc aid PanUvea theatra. ftsrfc, t" ti l.M. lie. 1tfr KM km eane tt Ur from the t'aikai Myai unl pary, 1 rth a4 Gils a.
