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."

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.

Albert Lundholm, painting the flag pole of the 30 story Whitehall building on
the Battery, New York, did not consider his teat particularly wonderful,
although thousands in the streets below gasped as they watched his fly
like maneuvers. 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."

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. It Is
on sals at all drug stores 'In bottles of
two sizes fifty-cents and one-dollar.
However, If you wish first to test fts
wonderful merits, send to Dr. Kilmer St
