had a pp.rt In boosting prices of foods

tion to bring about a readjustment of

As this was Willamette University
day In the Methodist churches of the
state, most of the time of tha morn-
Deminis to help the Portland chapter of the
American Red Cross with the fiving of entertain
ments and social affairs hav been so numerous that
a committee has been appointed .by the executive
committee of the chapter to lend aid in the matter.
The chairman is Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, who has
working with her a group of women well- qualified
to give, assistance. It is the desire of the Portland
chanter that in the future all those wishine to en
tertain in the name of Red Cross, communicate first
with Mrs. Corbett by telephone, A-1354, or Main 1001, between 2 and 3
o'clock.
Tickets are now on sale at the Heilig theatre for the lecture which
Ian Hay will give Thursday evening under the auspices of the Junior
league for the benefit of the Portland chapter. .
Outside contributions today included one check for $25 and another
for $50. The donations from outlying districts are sent in mainly un
solicited because of the fact that the auxiliaries have not yet been ex
tended to all parts of the state. Many inquiries made to the Portland
chapter have been referred, to California because of the lack of organ
ization in Oregon. Additional auxiliaries will be established as quickly
as possible.

Washington. May 21. (I. N. S.)
Mora than 1,000,000 men of German
descent In tha United States, between
the ages of 21 and 30 years, inclusive,
are eligible for service under the- con
scription law but if given the option
they would prefer to work as laborers
on farms rather than fight Germany.
Representative Britten of Illinois
made this assertion a he began draft
ing a bill which he will - introduce in
congress to authorise the "weeding
out" process for those who would go
but half heartedly to the firing line
In France.
Representative Britten indicated his
bill may take the form of an amend
ment to tha conscription law that
American residents of Teutonic per
suasion may virtually be drafted for
farm labor work instead of military
service.

Carson; Wash.. May 21. Carson Is
located on the north bank of tha Co
lumbia river and Is a station on the
North Bank railroad 68 miles from
Portland.
It Is the gateway to the Mineral
Springs district. Summer vacation
ists, anglers or health seekers who get
off the North Bank train at Carson
are met by autos from both Shipherd's
and St. Martin's Springs These two
well known resorts are located in the
Wind river canyon about two miles
fiom the railroad station.
The road winds up from tha river
to the springs through a picturesque
woodland composed largely of ever
greens with here and there a dog
wood. One advantage possessed by
both of these resorts is their accessi
bility. You can come by train or you
can take the more leisurely trip by
boat on the Columbia, passing through
scenery that makes the most bias
traveler exclaim at tha wondrous
beauty of the trip.
Interesting- Points Sean.
Crown Point, Multnomah Falls and
a constant succession of other water
falls, Rooster Bock, Cape Horn, the
Cascades of the Columbia are all to be
seen from the boat or from the train.
I The Portland business man can look
over his morning mall and crossing
' the Columbia river on the interstate
bridge at Vancouver he can come by
auto along tha Columbia and reach
here in time for lunch, or he can go
ui the incomparable Columbia river
highway and take the ferry across the j
Columbia to Stevenson and reach here
for lunch with the beauty of a trip
that will live for ever in his memory.
Arriving at your destination you can
put in your vacation pleasantly fish
ing in Wind river or following tha
winding trails up the canyon to tha
falls and other beauty spots.
St. Martin's springs is the pioneer
resort. Mr. St. Martin took up a
homestead 6n Wind river 40 years ago.
Hunters who came to hunt tha wild
pigeons that congregated in large
flocks around the "deer licks" along
the river bank or fishermen who came
to fill their baskets with the firm
raeated and gamey mountain trout
used to stop and take a bath in the
larger of the hot springs.
Bath House Appears.
Finally Mr. St Martin put up a log
bath house and eventually made some
wooden tubs out of redwood. Later a
I large bath house was erected on the
I river bank and sUH later a hotel was
' built and a bath house erected a few
hundred yards above the river. Tha
larger spring has been concreted to
form a reservoir, and from this spring
a gasoline engine pumps the hot water
to the hotel and bath Jiouse.
So many persons suffering from
rheumatism or other troubles were
benefited by drinking or bathing in the
water at St. Martin's springs that a
spring-higher up the river was se
cured by another company and Ship
herd's Hot springs came Into being.
Shipherd's Hot springs was owned
and operated for many years by E. L.
Shipherd and since his death it has
been operated by the Mineral Springs
Hotel company. The hotel, which is
beautifully situated, not far distant
from the river, accommodates 200
guests. Bathing, dancing, hiking, fish
ing and loafing are the principal
amusements indulged in by the guests.
The mineral springs contain calcium
carbonate, magnesium carbonate, so
dium chloride, magnesium chloride, so
! dium sulphate and potassium chloride.
