T
PARENTAL DUTY
IS POINTED OUT
BY MAYOR BAKER
UobbfJ hair, short skirts, low necked
dresses and lack of parental respect
have created a "jazzy condition" which
is refjpojMsihJe for much of the way
wardness among' bays and girls. Mayor
George L,. Baker told Oregon Sunday
chool workers this morning atj tho
opening session of their annual jcon
vention in the First Methodist church.
lelegates were in attendance fron 16
counties.
The mayor declared that the need of
the day is not so rnieh to save the
boy or girl who has gone wrong as it
is to keep boys and girls from going
wrong. The delegates were urged to
emphasize thi need of pufental re
sponsibility and declared that strict
parents will not rear .ond i-hildren
unless the parents are strict with
themselves and willing to tTive up
pleasures for the. take of their off
spring. J. i-hreve Durham of 'hicagi home
visitation supe rintendent for the In
ternational Sunday School association,
and Mrs. Durham arrived this morning
and will rrjnain for two days of the
convention. At the noon luncheon of
the state executive committee, Dur
ham urged extension of riuuday tehool
work into every district where there
lire enough children to make up day
school. Several hundred sgch districts
are now declared to be without .Sunday
schools.
Tonight's program begins with insti
tute sessions at 7:30 o'clock. At 8:1"
the Jennings Iodge orchestra will give
a concert, after which Durham will
give the mam evening address.
. Thursday the morning session from
9 to 11 o'clock will be devoted to Insti
tute classes. The last hour before

shortage of refrigerator
Cars menaces apple crop
, Hood River, Or., Oct. 11. Not only
are refrigerator cars not available to
handle apple shipments from this point,
but it now develops that there is a
serious shortage of box cars. Pros
pects for the next two weeks are any
thing but encouraging to shippers of
fruit. "
So serious is the situation today that
the Apple Growers association, has de
cided to immediately investigate the
full possibilities of shipping fruit by
the water route from Hood River down
the Columbia to-. Portland and from
Portland on seagoing vessels to the
Atlantic coast. Something of this na
ture will lave to be done in order to
keep the fruit moving, for although
cold storage space is available there is
not sufficient space to hold anything
but a percentage of the crop this year.
f It is understood that arrangements
Will be made with the Harkins trans
portation company for ' facilities to
carry part of the crop by river boats
or barges down the Columbia. Within
the next three weeks it is probable that
less than 60 box cars will be available
to shippers here.

BECOMES COLLEGE HEAD
"Dr. Minthorn made all the arrange
ments, but he did not take charge of
the school again. Instead he accepted
appointment as the first president of
Pacific college, then Pacific academy
at Newberg.
"I was at Newberg at the time and
a member of the college board. About
this time. Dr. and Mrs. Minthorn hav
ing lost their young son, they received
word of the death of Dr. Minthorn!s
sister. Hulda, at Long Branch. Iowa.
Her husband had died previously and
hey left one son, Herbert Hoover
Bert. ,
"Thinking that Bert would take the
place of his own boy. Dr. Minthorn
sent for the lad and put him to school
in Pacific college. He was then 13
or 14 years old.
"Xbout this time the doctor and I
became interested In the prune Indus
try, and he resigned as president of
the college. We went to Salem and
there organised the Oregon Land com
pany, which , developed thousands of
acres of prunes In the Willamette val
ley. Hoover came along with us and
was In our 6ffice at Salem for three
vears. Then'the doctor had him go to
Stanford university, from which he
later graduated.
."We left Salem in about 1900. going
to Hot Lake, where the present great
sanitarium stands. We built the first
hotel there and handled some 1500 pa
tients. We sold out to Walter Pierce
and other men in the locality.
MANY ALASKA TRIPS
"Since 1900, Dr. Minthorn has made
frequent trips to Alaska as physician
it Duncan's mission, sometimes stay
ing for years and sometimes only a
few months. After the first trip, he
returned to Oregon and located at
Newberg and buiU the first bathhouse
and sanitarium. Newberg has always
remained his home. Everyone there

Through all of his business enter

port, he conducted a Bible class, and
Cook told of seeing 130 business men
and laborers gathered In a little tent
back of the Presbyterian church at
the coast town, listening to the doc

i Besides the widow. Dr. Minthorn is
survived by two daughters, Gertrnd

Mrs. Mary Strench, whose husband is

SAVE CITY
EXTRA EXPENSE
An ordinance introduced by Commis
sioner Mann, which was adopted by
the city council today, will protect the
city funds from expense in relocating
public utility facilities when streets
are vacated and other street . areas
opened In their stead'. Heretofore, the
city has been put to considerable ex
pense on this line, says Mann.
The ordinance provides that when
the council is petitioned to vacate
Streets In which are water mains, gas
mains, steam heating mains, conduits.
sewer mains or laterals, poles, wires
or other -utility facilities, the petition
ers must file a surety bond to insure
removal' within 30 days after the
streets are vacated of all such utility
facilities to locations designated by
the city engineer.
HOSPITAL PERMIT REFERRED
to City Attorney Grant
An application from the Klock Sani
tarium company for a permit to main
tain a sanitarium at Tillamook and
East 15th streets, before the. city coun
cil today, raised a protest -from resi
dents of the district, but it also de
veloped that the hospital may not be
required to make any application at
all. The question was referred to the
lty attorney.
The hospital has been in operation
for eight years, although ; not under
one management, and for some time
it was operated as the Ounderson Yost
nursery hospital, before the ordinances
required that hospitals take out per
mits. Commissioner Barbur main
tained that the ordinance ts not retro
active, and that although the place has
recently passed into new ownership,
its continuous operation would exempt
it from asking for a permit.
LAUREL HURST ASSESSMENT
HALTS, FENDING AGREEMENT
Although the entire assessment for
the purchase of block "A," Laurelhurst,
by the city has been spread on the as
sessment rolls by City Auditor Kunk, i
sending out of notices has been held
up because of the failure of the Iaur
elhurst company to file an agreement
to assume $4500 of the purchase price
of 10,500.
The verbal agrement was that the
company should assume, this amount
and that $6000 should be assessed to
the properties within the district, with
the exception of $250 to be paid by the
Portland Railway, Light & Power com
pany for its right of way through the
block. But so far the company han
dling the Laurelhurst real estate has
failed to come through with a written
agreement pn tin's line, and the assess
ment roll will not he approved by the
city council until such action is taken.
CITY HALL BRIEFS

Spf)kane Company
Attempts to Block
Cement Shipments
Portland is still in the . midst of a
cement "famine" and the situation
was further complicated today when
the city council was notified by offi
cials of the Oregon 'Portland Cement
company that It has been notified of
an attempt to kill off the emergency
ariff that would permit shipment of
cement by rail from "other fields.
The Lehigh Portland Cement com
pany of Spokane, which originally
made objection to am emergency tariff
for cement on one day's notice, now
has filed protest with the interstate
commerce commission against the
tariffs- going into effect October 15,
on the ground that it cannot procure
cars.
, Under the emergency rate it would
be possible for Utah concerns, which
have a surplus of more than 200,000
barrels of cement, to lay down the
product in Portland at a price to the
consumer not more than 25 cents above
the price of the ; local product, the
council was told.
Representatives of the Oregon . Ce
ment company said they are doing
their utmost to relieve the situation,
and are bringing in 27,000 barrels of
Riverside cement by water.
- It was urged that the mayor and
city council, the chamber of commerce
and building organisations send tele
grams to the Interstate commerce com
mission, protesting against the latest
attack on the emergency tariff. The
council took such, action, and it also
will ask the Oregon representatives at
Washington-to press the . matter with
the commission.
