PAGE TWO. HOOVER'S YOUTH 8PBIT III SALEM AS OFFICE BOY (From the Oregonlan.) Although California is claiming Herbert Hoover as a sort or adopted Btir son,' 'Oregon, it she cares to do it. can plead a much stronger case before the bar of public opinion If he wants to proclaim to the world that "Bert" Hoover, by Inclination and training. Is a progeny of the Web feet state. Hootpt Left Orphan. It was bank In 1885 that a little brown-haired, freckle-faced youngster tumbled off a stage coach down at Neebeig, Ore., ami fell into the arms of his uncle, I)r. H. J. Mluthorn. Re bad Just arrived In Oregon from Iowa, where he had been loft an orphan by the early demise of his father and his mother, and had come to Oregon to make his home with his uncle, Dr. Minthorn. who at that time was presi dent of Pacific academy, now Pacific college. Young "Bert" Hoover was lucky in having an uncle as president of the academy, for. although he was much too young to enter the Institution un der ordinary conditions, Ir. Minthorn permitted him to become a student Then for three solid years It was all work and study for young Hoover. While other youngsters of his age were sharing their time between work and play, he was devoting both day and night to his books. This Is the first known record of his ability to Hoover lae, for he completed his course In three years at the age of 14. sTmilhruliiPM Is Bar. Dr. Minthorn then looked around for some college or university to which he could send his young nephew, but la those day Hoover's youthful age barred him ironi every college where he attempted to enter. It was In the late fall of 1887 that real estate firm opened up offices in Balera, down on Commercial street near Chemeketa. Charles B. Moores, prominent republican leader and for mer state chairman of the party, was member of the firm. B. 8. Cook, now Portland real estate denier with offices la the Stock Exchange building was another member of the firm. "Bert" Hoover was neither Junior partner nor clerk. He was the office boy, and once each month he came Into possession of a salary check of $36 . "But I want to tell you that the of fice boys of today can learn a leu, ud a good one from the life of young nuorer, auia Air. Cook yesterday in a reminiscent mood. "He didn't go sneaking around the corner for a for bidden whiff of the cornallk cigar ette. And he didn't loaf away his even ings with the other young people of the town.

At the time there was living in oaiem, a prominent banker, now deceased, tvh i decided to send his son to Htauferd along with young Hoover. Tho bankji'i son needed special In- UuvUon in ime of the mathmematl- cal subjects before he could enter, so neri uoover oontrnoteil to tutor the boy for the price of a ticket to Palo Alto. He made good at the Job and both boys entered the university to gether. Young Hoover was the first student to enter Hlanford.

I still keep and cherish the little worn goemctry book over which he worked so many hours at the office in Saiem." Aunt Resides in Sak-m. Charles I JIcNary, now Vnlted States senator from Oregon was a close friend and schoolmate of young Hoo ver during Ids boyhood In Oregon, and others who have since become promi nent in state affairs remember him as a youngster in the capital city. His uncle. Dr. H. J. Minthorn. Is now a practicing physician at Newport while an annt, Mrs. Phoebe Hammer, resides at Salem. Those who knew Hoover during his boyhood in Oregon frankly say they do not know whether he Is republican or democrat although they strongly In sist he is the former. He came from a quaker family .and a democratic quaker hi something of an oddity. His family were all republicans for many years back, say those who know. And when Herbert Hoover lived in Salem he became a member of the Friends church out In Higland addition in North Salem. He still retains member ship In this little church.

Hit-key Praises Tanlac Becau of His Wife's Remarkable Recovery TREATY ABSURD SAYS Budapest, Jan. 28. Count Albert Apponyl is engaged In writing Hun gary's answer to the terms of peace submitted at Ueullly by the peace conference. He said today there were many causes which were impossible of fulfillment. "There are sixty absurdities In the proposed treaty. One of these takes our wood and iron ore while another demands that we give wood and ore to the Austrian. What affects' our peo pie most is the loss of territory. As for the economic conditions we know we can never fulfill them so they can not matter so much. If a man asks me to pay a thousand dollars I may do so, but If he demands a billion I know I can't comply and so should not worry." The depressing effects of the treaty are evident In Budapest Wines are not served at hotels, flags are half masted and St. Stephens crown on the royal palace has been draped In black. "What I have seen Tanlac do for niv wife convinces me that it is the grandest medicine in the world," was the statement made recently by J. T.

"She hardly ever cared whether she ate anything or not and when she did force herself to take a few bites it would sour and causi her to have cramping pains. Gas would bloat her up so bad that it pressed up against her lungs and almost cut her breath off entirely. Her kidneys were badly disordered and all the time she was complaining of a pain in the small of her back. She had rheumatism in her sides and through her back that gave her no end of trouble and made it hard for her to get about the house. Siie was trou bled with severe headaches and dizzy spells and her nerves were so upset that any little unexpected noise would excite her. At night she was so restless she could get but little sleep and as a result of all her sutiesing she was in a miserable run down condition. Our daughter had takin Tanlac and it had helped her so remarkably that my wife began taking it It help ed her right from the start and It looked like It was no time before she was able to eat anything she wanted and digest it without the least bit of trouble. The rheumatism dlsappearea entirely and the headaches and dizzy spells are a thing of the past Her kidneys are In good condition and the pains in her back have Just about gone and the nervousness has all left her. She sleeps sound at night and gets up feeling so fine every morning that it is an easy thing for her to do her housework. She has been built up in every way and is so much strong er that she looks like a different wo man."
