Knight Guest of Flor ence Nightingale's Sister When Great ;Woman Was There. It is & . far cry from Florence Nightingale, "of whom today marks the centennial birthday anniversary, to thePaplflc Northwest, yet there is one, little woman in Portland to day who knew Miss Nightingale and , was intimately associated with many of the friends of the noted nurse.. . Mrs. R. B. Knight, 235 Chapman street, mother of Mrs. Edith Knight Holmes Hill, local newspaper woman. met Florence Nightingale back in the ''seventies,! while she was a house guest at the mansion of Lady Harry Verney of Buckinghamshire, Eng. Lord Verney was a member of parliament and Lady Verney wai fond ;of entertaining as was her ; sister Florence Nightingale, of nursing, jfer spacious grounds, all laid out in hedges and gardens, and her big jooma in the fine old stone palace, were the scenes, of much gaiety and social functions of all sorts.- . ' , - MISS 3TIGHTISOALE PRESENT Mrs. Knikht was a little budding so cial butterfly attending a private school for girls, for whom the big-hearted Lady Verney gave a lawn fete at which her sister. Miss' Nightingale, assisted. Lady Verney, says Mrs, Knight, while she was more socially inclined than her sister, had the same characteristic of kind heartedness which responded so nobjy to any demands upon her attentions. ' ' Later when Mrs. Knight abandoned the social I butterfly life to become a nurse nnder the direction of Slster'Dora, iths often heard i of the great Florence Nightingale" who had trained with Sister Dora and vas an intimate friend of hers. Messages came to them of the work ; of Florence Nightingale and of the hon ors showered upon her. It was while nursing lb. Warsaw dur ing; the Franco-Prussian war that Mrs. Knight received i a message by balloon post, then s a. rare thing:, from some friends in Paris j whose names she has forgotten except: that they Were rla- tives of the Nightingale family, saying they were so starved for food they, were Just ready .to eat their pet puppy dog. HAD STREXTJOtXS EXPERIENCE Mrs. Knight recalls some - strenuous experiences she had while nursing- with Sister Dora. Into many portions of the tenement district of Warsaw they went at night wThere no-policeman dare'd go, caring and tending sick ' and ' wounded. At one time there were many killed and wounded in a. mining explosion. One man, an Irishman, died and a postmor tem examination was held. The Irish, said Mrs. Knight, were strongly, opposed to postmortems land a mob sprang up, a howling mob that surrounded the hos pital and. threatened all sorts of trouble. Mrs. Knight, still in. her teens, was sent outside to hold back the mob. She said her prayers as she went out, but she held her ground. She held them while she talked! to them of the accident and of the condition: of the various patients within the rhospitaL ECAFES OTHER 699 Finally came word that 20. of the vic tims' immediate relatives might be ad mitted. As they thronged into the hos pital, the doctors made their escape out the window. Mrs. Knight finally decided hospital life and nursing; were too strenuous -for her,, so one day as she went out to the big gate in just her felt slippers to get the mail, she received a bunch of bank notes, tossed the remainder 'of the mail over the gate and went to the railroad station garbed just as she was. Thus did she leave the nursing profession. She got some more clothes and sailed for America, winding up at a mining camp in Colorado where 'there were only six women to 600 men. Proposals came so thick and fast that, as she facetiously remarked, she j "finally married one to get rid of the other 599." Then came Oregon and ranch life until her 6-year-old daughter told her one .day she "didn't know j nothing nohow," when Mrs. Knight deemed it advisable to re move to. Portland where educational ad vantages might be had. Canadian Company Forfeits $13,000 for ; Failure on Contract . . i- - J Walla "Vtalla,! Wash., May 1$.

From Red House to White House it sounds like some new sort of an idea of a futurist architect Is the step Mrs. Herbert Hoover will make if her hus band becomes the president of the United ' States. Red House is the old English manor house in Kensington. England, where the Hoovers lived and came into world fame as relief workers. A real veteran of two wars: and a traveler to the ; remote corners of the world, Mrs. Hoover would bring to the White House one , of the most distin guished careers of any ."first lady" . who ever reigned.

Invitations are being sent out all over the state and efforts will be made , to have a special train operate over, the O-W. between Portland and Boardman for the occasion. Boardman is on the edge of the North Umatilla project, which is supplied with water by the Umatilla river. The line of demarcation between the irrigated and non-irrigated ; land in this district is plainly 6een at this point and the citi zens of the " Morrow county town will explain what should be done to bring more of the land in thatviclnity under irrigation. 1 . -: . I. ; It is estimated that ; 300,000 acres of land adjacent to the North Umatilla project could be supplied with , water from the John Day river: at a cost ap proximating J40.000.000. The project would therefore cost about 1125 an acre. but owing to the fertility of the soil under .water residents of the district do not believe that this would be an ex cessive rate. : , j The State Chamber, of - Commerce is also cooperating With the : Boardman business men in making arrangements in this city to, have a large number of Portlander ; make the trip , to Central Oregon, ; . -. ; ; ?- . -: ...

May 15. L N. S.) "The solution of the high cost of living lies largely in the solution of the na tion's transportation problem." This was the declaration of R. M. Calkins, vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.' Paul railroad, address ing the seventh National Foreign Trade convention. "American railroads the best- and most efficient in the world today are practically four yearsr behind the In dustrial progress -of the country. Ap proximately 450,000 box. cars are needed immediately to adequately take care of the' industrial production of the coun try, he said. ; ? "Whereas congress has provided a re volving fund of $300,000,000 to meet the equipment needs of the railroads, a minimum of a billion and a half dollars are needed right now to bring the equip ment, up to the pressing needs of our . In dustries," he added. , Some of the results of the transporta tion shortage, Mr. Calkins summed up as follows : Thousands of tons of steel are lying in the yards at Johnston, Pa., and other eastern steel centers unable to be moved. ' f - Half of last year's wheat crop of the' state of Kansas is still to be trans ported. ; . t Millions of feet ' of lumber : urgently needed, all over the country to solve the housing problem are piled up in north western lumbering- states with no im mediate prospect of : being moved. The great melon- crop of the Imperial valley, California, now ripening, may go to - waste because of lack of cars to move it. - , . ; Poland Will Fight ; -Bolsheviki Alone, ' Minister Declares ' By A.

The object of the Polish drive he Said Is establishment of a series of indepen dent states as a barrier against Bol shevism, i Poland will . rid these coun tries of the Bolsheviki and help them to a strong independence, but will not ad vance Into soviet' Russia, Lubomirski nnM T.

Year; $4,800,000 Was Spent. Astonishing figures on the money distributed by motorists' making long distance Journeys have been compiled by the , National Parks Highway association, : according to Sydney B. Vincent of the Chamber of Commerce, " Vincent is the local representative of the highway which, now extends by a, well marked route from ' Chicago to Crater Lake. Ore gon, with, gateways At each of .the four national parks enroute. ; ; "Records kept by the highway repre sentatives last; year show that a; little over 40,000 automobiles used the high way for trips of 1000 miles or more," says Vincent. We do not keep records of trips less than 1000 miles, as we do not consider that they are trans continental in character. $12 DAILY PER CAR ' "Each of the 40,000 cars recorded carried an average of three persons to the - car. , ;' . "According to government estimates, the average money spent daily by each person on the road is $4. Many who camp along the line will not spend over $3 but this is more than offset by the number , who will spend from $5 to $6. Accepting the . government's average of $4 a day and three persons to the car, we' have $12 per car daily. "Each of these autos was on the high way at least 10 days. At $12 per car a day, this would mean $120 spent by the. occupants of each car. Taking our record of 40,000 cars at $120 each, we have a total of $4,800,000. " . ESTIMATE COKSERTATITE "This, I believe, is conservative, and it should be borne in mind that there were many other thousands of cars on the highway making shorter trips, all of them adding to the stream of dollars. , "The returns from motor travel are not by any means confined to hotels and garages, although, of course, they re ceive a- goodly portion. Many persons prefer to camp along the route, but they must have groceries, clothing, ammuni tion,, reading matter, souvenirs and in cidentals. Motor travelers, whether tampers or hotel transients, are- liberal spenders at theatres . and ' refreshment parlors. I believe every motorist buys some clothing during the trip, and the women's wardrobe is replenished. 1929 PROMISING TEAR "We arp' anticipating for 1920 an even greater, year for tourist travel. In ad dition to the general ' campaign which I promotes motoring and which has been gaining in results yearly, we have as surances that many caravans of Shrin ers will use- the highway to reach re union headquarters. -.' -.' v "The highway is in fab condition for travel at -this early date with only a few bad stretches. By the first-of June the entire line ' will be in good condi tion." . ' '. - Honorary Musical Organization Wins 0. A. C. Recognition Oregon Agricultural College, Corval 11s, May 15.
