In helping men as they leave the gates of prison to gain a new foothold in the Industrial, world, the Oregon Prisoners' Aid society needs the co operation of a greater number of citi zens to accomplish the work at hand, according to the report of Superin tendent W. G. MacLaren, submitted at the annual meeting of the society. During 1914 the society looked after 125 state prisoners during parole period. Of these 22 broke the provis ions of their parole, 21 failed to report, and 26 returned to their homes and friends, 167 city and county prisoners were temporarily aided, 42 prisoners' families were cared for, five husbands and wives were reunited. 70 permanent positions were received for released prisoners, 292 odd jobs were obtained for them, besides much other assist ance. Superintendent Mac-Laren cited many cases where the released convicts, by being given a little help at the time when they most needed it, have "made good" and now are engaged In busi ness or steady employment. "First comes to mind the case of a boy here In Portland." said Mr. Mac Laren." "He was convicted of a fel ony when 17 years old and sent to the penitentiary. After nearly two years he was paroled; during the next three years tie worked at his trade here in town and was so successful in 'making good" In every way that he married an estimable young woman two years ago and is still prospering with not the slightest , danger of his ever returning to devious ways. "Quite different is the case of a man who held a well paid position, in the abstract business. At 55 years of age he committed forgery while under the Influence of liquor. He was paroled after a year's imprisonment. At his age and with a record of Indiscreet indulgence in liquor behind him, he had- a fierce battle to force reentrance Into decent society and Uie Industrial world. But he persisted with patience and courage, mastered bis appetite for drink and today owns an abstract busi ness of his own in a -town in a neigh boring state and is fairly on the road, to industrial independence. "A bright young chap of 26 with expensive tastes, became financially involved through living beyond his means. He committed forgery and fled the city. Later he returned and surrendered to the authorities, pleaded guilty to his crime in court and went to prison. After six years he was paroled to our society, his old employer whose name he had forged, took him back to work, he paid off the indeb tedness Incurred by the spurious check in addition to the six years he had paid society through the state, and re mained in that position until another place carrying a higher salary was offered him. He is a bookkeeper and is now engaged in very responsible public auditing in one of our sister states. "I think the point which is best con sidered and remembered Is that it Is improbable these men, and the others like them, could have crushed down their past and confidently begun a new career were it not for the as sistance which societies such as ours are privileged to render, and the sym pathetic attitude of those who, like yourself, are willing to give sincere effort at redemption a helping hand at the roughest stage of the Journey." Walsh of Montana and Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. Governor Withy combe of Oregon, Governor Lister of Washington and Governor Alexander of Idaho will be present. Prominent Men Coming. Major J. E. With row and State Sena tor A. H. Imus of Kalama, Wash., have notified General Secretary Wallace R. Struble of the celebration committee that nearby towns will join with them in the celebration at Kalama. George W. Sanborn raised $250 in 2J,2 minutes yesterday to aid entertain ment of delegates to the Columbia and Snake rivers waterways convention, which will meet at Astoria, climaxing Celilo celebration trip from Lewiston to Astoria, the week of May 3-8. As torlans will go to Lewiston by rail, returning by boat. Great Falls. Mont., Commercial club will be represented at the celebration, according to a letter from A. J. Breit enstein, secretary. A young lady from Great Falls will bring a bottle of Mis souri .river water to mingle with the j waters of the Columbia at the Big Eddy program. Notice was received tills morning that Miss Alma Moore had been ap pointed to represent Lyle, Wash., at the Big Eddy celebration. She will take a bottle of Klickitat river water to break in connection with the cere monies dedicating the Celilo canal. Verdict for $750O Damages. The second trial of the $30,000 dam age suit of Charles A. Chadwick against the O-W. R. & N. Co. resulted yesterday In a $7500 verdict for Chadwick. In Judge Kavanaugh's court. Chadwick was awarded $5000 damages In a trial last vear. and on anneal tue judgment was reversed and sent back ror a new trial, cnadwick was injured in a collision between engines at Perry. Or. He was employed by the company as a. switch engineer. The accident occurred August 20, 1912. During the four years ending with 1913, Oregon's ftp It crop brought to the state $7,183,270. J. N. TEAL WILL STATE PORTLAND'S POSITION AS JOBBING CENTER Case of Tremendous Import ance Comes Up at Wash ington Next Monday, NEW RATES ARE SOUGHT T. W. BoMnson, Assistant Traffic Manager of O-W. K. 8c 27., will Represent Carriers. One of the biggest railroad rate problems ever threshed out in thi country is staged for next Mondav a Washington before the Interstate com merce commission. It involves th fight of the railroads to regain pres tige lost throifgh.. the influences of th Panama canal by the establishment of the new principle of building un in terior cities as jobbing centers where lormerly they championed the coas Cities. Joseph. N. Teal started for Wash ington Tuesday to participate in this hearing. What his position will be was not announced, but as counsel for the Chamber if Commerce he received no instructions as to procedure. 1 Is supposed he will assert merely that Portland still holds claim to being the Jobbing center of this territory oecau.se of her geographical position, and that no artificial rearrangemen of rates can. upset it. The railroads are seeking to have the commission authorize lower rates to certain interior points on commodl ties moving chiefly by water. Dur ing the litigation over the Spokane rate case, the opposite view was held by the roads, which resisted Spokane's effort to secure the concessions. One competitive factor against the application of the rail lines with refer ence to the northwestern situation is expected from the fact that the pro posed rates from Portland to Spokane are lower than those from Butte and other Montana points to Spokane. .Montana is expected to intervene. F. W. Robinson, assistant traffic manager of the O-W. R. & N.. has zone to Washington to handle the railroads' side of the controversy. Other traf fic men from the eastern offices of the other lines will be in attendance. John Shipley Dies In Ocean Park, Wn. John J. Shipley, deputy under Coun ty Assessor Henry E. Reed until Febru ary 1 of this year, died yesterday at Ocean Park, Wash., to which place For every brightening and cleaning purpose in every home Gold Dust is used at least three times a day in millions of homes everywhere. Yet there are many thou sands of housewives who think Gold Dust is only for one or two uses They would not use any thing else but Gold Dust for washing dishes, for example Or for scrubbing floors and woodwork, washing windows, etc. Gold Dust should be used for cleaning and brightening everything. It is most econom ical; it is most satis factory and it is most sanitary. Cannot scratch or harm any surface, and it will dissolve and remove all dirt and grease. 5.S; The active principle of Gold Dust is so remarkably thorough that you rinse away the dirt and grease, leaving a newness, a cleanness and a brightness which delights. Gold Dust forces its way into the corners and crevices where neither fingers nor washcloth can reach. It truly works for you. Any woman who has washed dishes with Gold Dust knows what that means. Gold Dust is the leading washing and cleaning powder in the world; it is in dispensable once you know it. i 5c and larger packages sold everywhere ESEXELFAIRBANKSSHSZ!
