ble Bring1 26 Boy Into Court 1
Normal Sal Xtinnti Today.
A conference was held thta morning
In the juvenile court to settle the

In the conference were Judge Oaten,

on all later editions. This plan is to
be tried for one month, at which time

'Works satisfactorily to all concerned.
Larger Boys Are Blamed.
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

smaller boys selling the papers. After

Pendleton, Or- Aug. 1J. 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

(Unites Pres Leased tore.)
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 13. 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. One example of Euro
peans I recommend to our own people.
