KEEP PLAY PARKS OPEN .IS SLOGAN JHIS IS HOW A NEW ,Y0RK STEEPLEJACK' EARNED $11 Children Need Recreation, De clares Wm. F. Woodward : of Improvement Club. "Children at school are asked to alt till longer than lawyer and dootors. do In the,lr offices, yet when school la dlamtaaed opportunity for exercise and recreation la denied them through the closing- of the play parka. It la ab surd, criminal," declared William F. Woodard, who la a member of the Port land Civic Improvement league, yester day. ' "There are Joba for all kinda of hangers-on In the city administration, yet, when summer ends wp must atop the employment of the finest class of peo ple we have ever hadVat , work in the city, namely the playjfteound instruc tors. The salaries of these Is $75 a month each. Daily they care each for an average of many more than 7B chil dren. The value of their work cannot be overestimated, yet we atop their work at the time of the year when it is needed most. "We compel the children, little bunchea of gristle and muscle all un developed to ait aUll much longer than we would aak any grown person. They develop curved Spines and adenoids and then when school la out, the park board aays that the play parka must not be open to them, that if they get any exercise or fresh air It must be on the -wv., tv, icq voi laimj more mre ninny dangers and where more certainly their parents do not want them. ."Does the city of Portland want to contribute to fhe delinquency of Its boys and girls? Closing the play parka does this very thing. "I know of no other city in the Uni ted States that closes its play parka. 1 know of no good reason and no rea son xcept false economy why It should be done here." Mr. Woodward said Portland parents I Intend to ask of the park board and the mayor why the play parka should be closed. He said a petition will be aubmitted signed by thousands of par ents asking that the play parks bs opened from the time school dismissca in the afternoon until dusk, and pro viding that at each play park there shall be an Instructor or director to see that the children get necessary exercise and . are not Injured. Mr. Woodward said he believed the parks should be open at least part of every Sunday. "I believe play parka do more real good than Sunday schools," he said. "We boast about our mild climate and say that it may be out-of-doora the year around," declarwl Mr. Wood ward. "If this Is true of the crown-uni. 11 is irue or tne children. In Portland children may safely piay out of doora rain or shine. If the park board does not open the play . parks it should be and It will be called to an accounting." r i MO ft Jt K 1 'ix "fT i - . , Iff w vLjh' in j"ir' tiJ- Wl T 1 1 a il i 1 5 -J Vii.J v . .iauaFl,-, v, v,.t.. , se1 INDIAN SIGNS DEED SAYS HE IS DUPED Julian Picard Blames Lawyer Bailey of Pendleton for Deceiving Him. (United Press lima TV Ire. Pendleton, Or., Sept 20. Attorneys D. W. Bailey and J. B. Perry of thla city, who were recently under Investigation by the Umatilla County Bar association for alleged unprofessional conduct, may be called upon again to explain certain acts If the former persists'-in his re fusal to restore to Julian Picard, a mixed blood Indian, an 80 acre tract of land which the Indian alleges was secured thsough mlarepresentation. Bailey holds a warranty deed to the 80 acre tract of wheat land on the res ervation, valued at $8000, whloh deed was executed before Perry on December 12. 1908, and signed by Julian Picard aa grantor. Recently Picard and his wife became Involved In a lawsuit and Colonel J. H. Raley waa retained aa counsel for the woman and Attorney Will M. Peterson for the man. While arranging a settlement 6f the property these attorneys came across the deed in question, the existence of which waa unknown to them. When told of the discovery Picard denied knowledge of any deed, declaring:, that he. had signed on the date mentioned a paper represent ed to him as a contract by which Bailey waa to secure a patent of hla land from th&. government and waa to sell It for the owner for $8000. Picard la illiter ate and does not read. When he learned that In reality he had aligned a deed to hla land, he rushed to the offioe of Bailey. The lawyer, hoBver, armed himself with an iron bai, according to Picard and drove him out of the office. , Several daya ago 'Attorney Peterson called on Bailey and advised him that a suit would be instituted in the United States court to sot aside the deed if the land were not transferred to the Indian, but this Bailey refused to do unless Pi card paid him $27.60, which sum he al leged to be due on a debt. Including In terest, recording and notary public fees. When asked why he had secured the. deed he declared It was for security for the $20 he had loaned. Peterson declares ha will begin eulti within two or three days If the land lity not transferred Dark to the Indian. her and Loa Angelea oalle for 11.50 for a lower berth and 12.00 for an upper for night travel.

HEALTH AUTHORITIES FIRST TRYING CHALK D15T ON GUINEA PIGS 4 tlghteen guinea pigs in the 4 state board of health laboratory 4 have been fed as many different S) kinds of chalk, which are used or S) are proposed to be used In Ore- ) 4 gon schools.

When the photographer appeared on the scene to take his picture, he thought he would make the picture still better. So he stood in a atirrup with one foot and held on by one hand and then stretched himself horizontally out over the dizzy abyss of Battery Park. Far below. In the picture, can be seen the Aquarium, the municipal bati.lng house, and the harbor, with ferry boats looking no larger than Insects. ' PLAN TO HAVE CITY OWN STEEL BRIDGE Saying that Portland will be called upon to pay the entire cost of the upper deck of the new steel bridge Including operation and maintenance and then will not own the structure, George Black, a member of the people's charter com mittee, has applied to the body for a provision that will make the bridgi; pub lic property when paid for according to contract. "The contract made with the Ilurrl- man company provides," said Mr. lilack, that the city or the county, which is the same thing, puy 5 per cent of tho bridge's cost each year for 20 years. Meantime maintenance and operation is also paid from the public fund. "After the bridge is paid for we must continue to pay 5 per cent of its cost annually in perpetuity, which means forever, If the bridge lasts that long. "Assuming that the cost of the up per deck and its approaches, for all of which the people are obligated to pay, will be conservatively $800,000, then the annual cost will be $40,000. It will most certainly not be less than that figure. The operation and maintenance charges will also be considerable. We pay out this amount annually until the whole cost has been paid from tho pub- llo treasury into the railroad treasury. And then the bridge does not belong to us! 'Even If the amount were but rant It would be exorbitant. " Tho street car company is declaring that the use of the Hawthorne- brldse is not worth to them over $1200 a year, while the city asks but $16,000, which Is one-third of the amount the public will have to pay the railroad company. "If any other Interest contracted to pay for the bridge In 5 per cent Install ments, it would Insist upon ownership of the highly valuable structure for which it paid such a large price. But the city Is to keep on paylnff for the use of the bridge it has bought. 'I believe provision should be made so that after the city In X) years has paid for the upper deck and the ap proaches of the new steel bridge. It should then be thrown open to public use free of cost to the public, eocoept for operation and maintenance. I do j not believe any other course will pro tect the public's rights, and I do believe the city can protect Itself if the proper measures are taken." CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children.

I An examining phyBlclan for one of the prominent Life Insuranoe Com pan 'ea, In an Interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many applicants for insuranoe are rejected Is because kidney trouble Is ao common to the American people, and the large majority of applicants do not even suspect that they have the disease. He states that judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly In direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has probably been more successful In relieving and curing these diseases than any remedy known. The mild and heal ing Influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root' Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures. I Ws find that Swamp-Root ia strictly an herbal compound and ws would ad vise our readers who feel In need of such a remedy to give It a trial.
