A THE; OREGON DAILY J JOURNAL, PORTLAND, V OREGON.-
CANDIDATE BARS '
REIMS STRIFE
IN HIS CAMPAIGN
,"It is a sad 'commentary on po
litical conditions in Portland when a
candidate for municipal office must
herald to the voting public his religi
ous views," declared S. S. Pier, candi
date for city commissioner, today, in
setting forth his declaration of prin
ciples. "Those who seek political and
;rsonal preferment by aid of relig
ious bigotry and intolerance have
mapped out the line or battle, and they
will find me a willing and eager ad
versary. 'The thinking man or woman aud
by that I mean those who have the
best interests of the city at heart
will agree with rue that the sole quali-
i fications of a candidate for city com
missioner are real business ability and
an honest - determination to serve all
the people alike. It Is for this reason,
and this alone, that I have been drawn
Into this campaign.
'"I believe that a city commissioner
should be the servant of all the peo
ple, regardless of his religious faith or
nationality. 1 believe that the for
eign born resident of this or any other
city, if he be an American citizen, is
entitled to the same rights and privi
leges as the native born American,
for it is needless to remind you that
the very bulwark of this nation is
founded upon those who came here
from other lands, primarily, when
America was young, to gain the. same
religious freedom which these self
appointed guardians of a people's re
ligious life are now seeking to tear
asunder."
Accompanying his platform Pier sets
forth a brief personal history. He is
40 years old and has live.d in Portland
for 32 years. He. is a property owner.
Is married and has one child who' at
tends -one. of the Portland public
schools. He is a lifelong member of
the Congregational chiirch. He was
educated in the old North Central
grade school, the old Portland high
school and the Portland Busjness col
lege. He has been actively Engaged in
business here for nearly 20 years.
He is a member of the Portland Elks
lodge, o. 242. Portland Press club.
the Travelers" Protective association
and the Woodmen of the World. He
served two years as president of the
Traveling Men's association and is a
life member of that organization.
Portland Message
Requests U.S. to
Protect Christians
The United States is asked to stand
between Turkey and the helpless Chris

land that will3 Bupport the government
Jn such a move :
The message says:"
"Seventy churches of Oregon, rep

Sheepherders Are v
Arrested m Forest
For Violating Law
In th depths of the Deschutes na
tional : forest, . 35 miles , from Bend,
Deputy tTnited States Marshal Lee
Morelock journeyed with two bench
warrant for the arrest of Alien Grant
and Mike Cunnion, camp tender and
sheepherder .for Patrick Reilly of Ash
wood. The warrants were' issued at
the request of Grazing Examiner Jack
Hort09 and charged them with graz
ing sheep upon restricted areas.
Grant and Cunnion were driving
2600 sheep out of the mountains when
Morelock met them. They took arrest
in a bad humor and failed to display
the usual hospitality of sheepherders.
Because there- was no one to tend the
sheep, Morelock spent two days with
them, . while they attempd to locate
Reilly. At last the sheep owner was
reached by a message while he was
on the train from Portland, and cheer
fully put tip J250 bond for each of his
employes.
The restricted areas were In huckle
berry regions, frequented by, many
campers and were posted with abund
ant signs. Grant and Cunnion are al
leged to havs completely ignored these
signs, and to have ignored instructions
of the grazing examiner and of Reilly,
owner of the sheep.

PUMPS EFFECTIVE
EIRE FIGHTING
IN EAST OREGON
; The use of pumps in forest fire fight
ing, initiated with success in the Her
man creek fire, has been demonstrated
to be of enormous value east of the
mountains where it had not been con
sidered practicable to " use them, ac
cording to C. M. Allen, telephone en
gineer of the forest service.
.Last week Allen Vwas dispatched to
the Ray creek and Brush creek fires
near Heppner. Here he ; used four
pumps, two on each fire, f In a very
small creek, hidden back in the dense
thicket.- Alien installed the pump with
which he brought, the water wHh a long
house to the flreline. The chief use
of the water was' in wetting the
ground back of "the backfire and in ex
tinguishing spot fires caused by sparks.
The use of the pumps cuts down the
fire suppression cost Immensely, be
lieves Allen. ' .
Allen has been making arrangements
through eastern Oregon for improve
ment and extension of government
telephone Ilines in the interest of for
est protection. Improvement of com
munication facilities between Ukiah
and the central dispatching station,
the extension of a line from Sumpter
to Austin, the installation of a phan
tom circuit between Baker and Medi
cal Springs so as to give the forest
service direct connection "With all lines
on the Ml nam forestiWere among the
things xHipHahd. -- - : ?
Allen also Installed a number ox ape-.
cial high power transmitting sets, one
at Sumpter, pn at John Day, one at
Ukiah andf irie at Baker. ' The service
is. building a. ew pole line out of Hep
pner and ilkiah and providing better
facilities for connecting the western
end of the Umatilla forest with the
dispatcher.
