Tlte newsboys claim that larger boys, wholesalers for the Telegram, have compelled them to take more ex tras than they can sell and refuse to take them back or exchange them for later editions. The newsboys pay one cent for The Journal or Telegram and are supposed to sell them on th streets for a cents, but theyhave been Charging E cents for, all war extras, making a profit of 4 cents on each paper. 1 ne xeiegram published a no- tics warning the public not to pay more than 8 cents, so the war was on. An agitator advised the newsboys to Include the other papers in the strike, so a delegation of newsboys came it The Journal Tuesday night and de manded full returns on' all unsold papers. They were asked to wait till 10 o.'clock Thursday morning when the publisher would be in the eltjs. To this they agreed, but they changed their minds and on Wednesday after noon began tearing up the papers of smaller boys selling the papers.

Following the example set by his illustrious rela tive In discovering an unknown river in the wilderness of South America. C ti Roosevelt of this city returns from the wilds of the Blue mountains with a tale of the conversion of two little springs into a lake by a colony of beavers. Last year he and Theodore Hauswbrth went into the mountains and found these two purling springs. They returned last week in search of deer and desiring a camping spot with fresh water, searched for the springs. To their surprise they discovered in stead a lake covering several acres and half submerging a thicket of trees. The industrious water ammais naa done their work well, according to Mr, Roosevelt, having gnawed the trunks of large trees into convenient lengths and placed them together as neatly as humans could. They had also carried timbers to the bottom of the water and fixed them in place there. Breakdown Caused by Coffee "I am satisfied," says a prominent physician, that coffee is responsible in a great degree for the prema ture breakdown of our active, men and women. "They suffer from caffeine poisoning." "Of the truth of this, there is not the shadow of a doubt. Our common sense tells us that the "daily swallowing of caffeine" (the alkaloid in tea1 and cof fee), "powerfully affecting heart and brain is fol lowed by'nervous depression, and finally by more or less disastrous results. "I believe if people in general .would use a harm less, nutritious drink like Postum as a beverage in place of tea and coffee, their physical and mental condition would be much improved." , Thousands, troubled with nervousness, bilious ness, sleeplessness, headache and heart flutter, have done precisely what -this physician advisesgiven up tea and coffee and adopted POSTUM with happy results.

Four hun dred men are working in a lumber mill in an American city today for $1 a day, out of Which they, must pay their own lodging. The company furnishes the board. This was admitted In the testimony of Nell Cooney, manager of the Gray's Harbor Commercial company, of Cos mopoiis, Wash., before the federal commission on Industrial relations this morning. Asked If that admitted an American standard of living; If jt permitted fam ily life, Cooney frankly stated that it did not. Paul Page, of the Page Lum ber company of Eagle Gorge, Wash,, said: If the laborer would refuse to listen to agitators and, wouldn't read certain literature, he would be con tented." That labor unions are close corpora tions which fall to distribute any mea sure of relief to the majority of the workers, was the contention, made be lore tne reaerai commission on indus trial relations, last night, by James 8. Thompson, former organizer of tha In dustrlal Workers of th World. "Any organisation that is not revo lutionary," he declared, "cannot hope to rain the red blooded members of the laboring class." Thompson attributed the social un rest in the country to the fact that the producers do not get a Just return for theft work, and that the development of machinery -throws more and more people out of employment every year. His solution was to let the workers of th world own their own Jobs to own the machinery of production and distribute th work among all. Colonel A. J. - Blethen denounced strikes, boycotts, lockouts and the J. W. W. street speakers. He said strikes and boycotts should be classed as criminal. Blethen admitted that many out of employment really want work and can t get It. Canal Celebration Messages Asked Fort of Astoria Requests President Wilson and Northwestern Congress men to Wlr Felicitations, (WaAMHarton Stl man nf Th Jnnrml Washington, Aug. IS. The Port of Astoria has requested messages from th president and all senators and representatives In congress from the northwest in connection with the cel ebration Saturday over the " opening of the Panama canal. O. M. Clark, president of the Clark & Wilson Lumber company, eays it would bo worth millions of dollars to Portland and immensely broaden our commercial future tit every Portland citizen were to take a trip to Europe. He ha Juat retruned from a six months' automobile tour through France, Italy, Switzerland, northern Africa, Holland, Belgium, England, Ireland and Scotland. "If our people could see the perma nence of tha harbor improvements of i European ports they would come back clamoring for the best and most per- r manent harbor facilities for Portland," I predicted Mr. Clark. "Why, little towns that don't ap- ! proach Portland In size, business or i prospects, have spent five times as, ; much ror harbor improvements as ' Portland has. "All European ports have found that if they are going to do business they j must prepare for business and that their preparedness will govern, to ; large extent, the amount of business they do and the growth they attain." Mr. Clark congratulates himself ppon getting away from European countries before the outbreak of hos tilities which has resulted in the de- . tention of many American tourists. ' While ho wag there, and before war was declared, he says, there was a condition of great and evident disquiet. He attended the Anglo-American ex position in London, celebrating 100 years of peace with this country, and saya it was a "frost. ' Ho had an audience with the pope through a letter given him by Arch- I bishop Christie of Portland. "He was a pleasant, bright and' genial old gen-; tleman, and I was much pleaded with, him," said the lumber manufacturer. ! Guest at Big Banq.net. He was a guest at a banquet given I in honor of King George and Queen ! Mary. "It was a splendid event and j I attended tha preliminaries, but," confided Mr. Clark, "I noticed I was , the, only one present not clad in a ; Prince Albert and silk hat, or else i ermine or a uniform, so I said, 'I'm j going to "duck" before th banquet I really begins' and I did." j He observed that English factories were working full blast. The preva lence of smoking among women was shocking,' he says, but the automatic) bars and lunch counters of France, Germany and Switzerland were a great convenience. He made a special study of paving, finding that tie principal cities get best results from wood block, th list Including Paris, Brussels, London, and even the cities of northern Africa. In Klon, Germany, two types of wood block paving attracted the traveler's interest. In' on, blocks were laid on a cement base and a cement filling was used. In the other, blocks were laid on a cement base, an asphalt fill ing was used, with a dressing of pebbles. He fpund, also, that when coarse crushed rock was so surfaced as to Join edges with comparative smoothness, and either a cement or asphalt filler and binder used, results were good, and ha will ask K,oadmaster Yeon to make some experiments along these lines, "I am glad to get back," said Mr, Clark. "At the same time, I am more than glad of the trip. Traveling by automobile one sees the country and gains experlene in a way not other wise possibl.
