THE AID SOCIETY.
Help the Little Ones Who Cannot
Help Themselves This
Thanksgiving.
The Boys and Gir s' Aid So
ciety of Oregon is an organization
which cares for homeless, neglect
ed or abused children through
out the entire State of Oregon.
Its motto is, "It is wiser and
less expensive to save children
than to punish criminals," and
will ehow that if the children are
taken in there would be many
less criminals to punish.-
The officers ot the institution
have among its number some of
the best people in the state of
Oregon. The Hon. George H.
Williams, ex-United States Attorney-General
and ex-Mayor of
Portland, is its president. F.
E. Beach, a well known business
man in the wholesale and retail
paint and oil trade, is its secre
tary. Col. L. Iv. Hawkins is its
treasurer. The other directors
are Robert S. Farrell, commission
man; Judge W. B. Gilbert of the
United States Circuit Court; Dr.
Thos. L. Eliot; Mrs. W. A.
Buchanan; Mrs. Levi White and
''Miss Helen F. Spaulding. Such
names as the foregoing should be
sufficient guarantee for the integ
ritv and honesty of purpose ot the
organization.
For samples of the, work of
this benevolent institution, the
public have only to look around.
In nearly every city and hamlet
in the state of Oregon , can be
found some of the wards ot this
institution placed out in family
homes, where they are visited at
intervals and everything done to
insure their receiving the proper
treatment at the hands of their
foster parents. These children
are for. the most part picked up,
abandoned by their parents, or
taken from' vicious surroundings.
Many stories can be told of cases
taken charge of. Among these
is that of little Harry who was
picked up as a little wait, de
serted by parents, but now the
pride of one of the best homes in
' Oregon. This little fellow was
but three years of age when; he
was brought to the superintend
ent's office by an old colored
woman, who stated that his
mother had placed the boy in her
charge to board sometime ago
but had failed to pay any thing
for him and she did not know of
her -whereabouts. In order to
bring the matter before the
Court, Supt. Gardner took the
little fellow before County judge
Lionel R. Webster, who made
the order turning the little one
over to the care of the Society and
said to him: "You poor little
abandoned child, here is fifty
cents for you, perhaps the most
you ever had in- your life. Mr.
Gardner, buy him ' some cakes."
After the little fellow had been in
the Receiving Home for a month
or two he was taken by a couple
. who had no child, and is now
the pride and sunshine of their
home.
The Superintendent's last an
;oual report shows that they have
cared for during the past year
408 children. Out of - this num
ber 250 were entirely new cases,
the balance were children return
ed or recalled from family homes
tor cause, l he 2 new cases
were from the following counties:
Baker i, Beaton 10, Clackamas
4,' Clatsop 5, Columbia 4, Coos
6, Crook 2, Josephine 1, Lane
14, Linn 2, Marion 7, Multnomah
181, Polk 2, Umatilla 6, Wal
Iowa 1, Wasco 2, Washington 4
and Yamhill 4.
lhe question now arises,
should such a society be support
ed? ' Should it not be the pride
of the State of Oregon? Let the
answer to this question be a sub
stantial one, for the children of
the Receiving Home- need many
things this Thanksgiving,
money, fruit, .vegetables, canned
goods of all kinds, and shoes and
clothing. . Anything and every,
thing that is useful in a house
hold is acceptable to the little
ones.
Let the public schools take the
matter up and make a collection
among its children. A half doz
en potatoes from each child when
placed together would be an ac
ceptable gift to the Home, and
the farmers who have a sack of
potatoes cannot do better than
mark it "Boys' & Girls' Aid So
ciety, Portland, Oregon," and
put it on board the cars, when it
will be brought to Portland free
of charge. , The railroad and
steamboat lines have so far shown
their, appreciation of this good
work that they have agreed to
bring to Portland free all dona
tions that may be sent to the
Boys & Girls'. Aid Society.
A Close Call.
What narrowly missed being a
fatal accident occurred Friday in
the stairway at the First National
Bank. D. E. Matthews, jeweler
and optician, had received a new
sale from the East and engaged
George Fuller to take the heavy
article up stairs to Mr. Matthew's
room. By the useot ropes and
pulleys the safe was started on
its journey up the steep flight of
stairs, and those looking on felt a
chill of apprehension as the op
eration brought vividly to mind
the morning, in 1896, when T.
W. Hoffman in taking a printing
press up the Times stairway, was
crushed beneath the press as the
chain broke and let the iron
monster slip back down the
stairs. Bystanders remembering
how Mr. Hoffman was killed,
cautioned Mr. Fuller of the dan
ger ot using ropes for draging
the safe up, but the work went
on. Suddenly the ropes snapped,
the safe started downward aiid
with it went Mr. Fuller. There
is a broad landing midway down
the stairs, however, and striking
this, the corners of the safe sunk
so deeply into the boards that the
decent was checked and the safe
remained on the landing. To
this circumstance alone Mr. Ful
ler owes his life. His only injury
was a jar on the head.
The safe was later on lifted to
the upper floor and placed in Mr.
Matthew's establishment.
The Convention Closed.
The Oregon Good Roads con
vention came to a close in Cor
vallis at noon Friday. The
meeting is said by all to have
been the best ever held in the
state, and that it will result in
great good to this section, es
pecially, goes without question.
All the speeches made were of a
nature to arouse 'enthusiasm and
awaken an interest in better
highways, and the presence of so
many 01 Benton's superyisors
would indicate that things will
be doing in their respective, dis
tricts the coming year.
In the closing hours of the
convention an election of officers
of the association was held and
the following list shows the re
sult:
J. H. Scott, Salem, president;
H. B. Thielson, Salem, secre
tary; C. J. Trenchard, Astoria,
treasurer; executive committee,
J. H. Scott, Salem, H. M. Pal
mer, Albany, C. J. Trenchard,

City, Virgil E. Watters, Corval
lis, H. B. Thielson, Salem, J.
O. Booth, Grants Pass, B. F.

Ryan, Oregon City. "
The vice-presidents of the as
sociations are the county judges
of the various "counties of the
state.
The time and place of the next

Great
Game Score
Our Favor.
29 to 0 in
By a score which began to look
very mucn iiKe cne 40 to o 01 a
few seasons back, the OAC foot
ball team defeated the strong
eleven from Salem on the home
field Friday afternoon. Those
strong Methodist Brothers, who
made such a reputation in Calif
ornia, wno plunged through Ore
gon's line for telling gains and
won the traise of the sporting
public by showing such strength;
that team which defeated old M.
A. A. C. by the score of 4 to o,
were unable to make yardage a
single time through Capt. Root's
bunch. Every play they tried to
execute was not of the kind to
pierce OAC's line. The famous
line plunges that won them a
touchdown against Oregon were
not unlike so manv pebbles hurl
ed against a stone wall when they
struck the Farmer's formidable
line.
It was a surprise to the confi
dent supporters ot the W. U. It
was an eye-opener to the students
wearing the orange. It was a
surprise to everyone on the field
to see Dr. Steckle's eleven smash
through the opposing phalanx
almost at will. Even the most
loyal supporters of OAC had only
hoped for a scoreless game or a
6 to o victory. After the first
ouchdown had been earned and
another in sight, the OAC root
ers went wild with cheering.
Such rooting as was never before
seen on the local field encouraged
the boys on to victory.
The officials ot the game were
by far the best men who have in
terpreted the rules for OAC this
year. , 1 hey showed no iavont
ism, the decisions were prompt,
correct and undisputed. As a
result the game was the cleanest
one played this season. Both
sides got a fair deal.
The honors which some papers
attempted to take away from
OAC's players after the Oregon
game, seeped out in large pack
ages Friday afternoon. The hard
work and individual playing of
quarterback ' Rhinehart . was
grand. The work of. the backs
and .tackles in advancing the
ball was by odds the best work
done by an Oregon team this
year. The following account
will give some idea of the game:
Salem kicked to Corvallis and
brought Rhinehart to the ground
with the ball on the 5-yard line.
By a series of cross backs and
line plunges the tackles and
backs were sent through for good
gains until the ball was on the
42-yard line; here Willamette
held and Rhinehart , punted to
their 35-yard line.
Salem tried the line, but on
two downs they were unable t
gain anything and punted to
OAC's 40-yard line.
Abraham now went through
for 5 yards. Dolan went around
the It ft for 5 more, Walker added
anothor good gain, but Willam
ette took a brace and : orced the
locals to work hard for their
yardage. The third down netted
the required 5 yards and
Griffith was sent around the left
end for 8 yards on a first down.
The ball was in close proximity
to Salem's goal, but a fumble on
OAC's part deprived them of a
well earned score. Salem now
tried the line, but being unable
to pierce it, punted to the middle
of the field.
With the same style of play,
OAC brought the pigskin back
down the field. Dr. Steckle:
men worked as a unit, the inter-
1 -
ference was supurb and gains
from 5 to 12 yards were common
At times Salem would hold stub
bornly, then OAC would go right
through. Griffith and Dolan did
good work carrying the ball
After a series ot good gains OAC
forced the ball over the line for
the first touchdown. Cooper
kicked the goal.
Salem now kicked to Rhine
hart who advanced the ball to
the 30-yard line. Root went
around hft, Walker went through
the line and Griffith went around
the right, each play netting good
gains. Willamette's line now
took a brace and Rhinehart punt
ed to their 30-yard line.
Again unable to make yardage
Salem punted to Rhinehart on
the 20-yard line. By repeating
their former play OAC now start
ed on a series of line plunges that
was to net them to second touch
down. The bak and tackles
shared honors equally in advanc
ing the pigskin until it was
again forced over the white line
for a score. Cooper failed a dif
ficult goal.
OAC received the next kick
off .on the 25-yard line. Capt.
Root made a 15-yard gain
through a fake punt, Root now
punted to. Salem, who again
made a futile attempt to pierce
OAC's line. The first half end
ed with the ball in Willamette's
possession near the center of the
field. .
The second half was much
the same as the first. OAC kept
going through for longer gains
and Willamette showed a weaker
line than at the beginning. Cor
vallis kicked to their 2?-vard
line. Salem punted to Rhine
hart, who with splendid inter
ference, ran down the field to
the 15 yard line. Dolan was
soon sent over for another touch
down and the score was now 17
to o in OAC's favor.
OAC received the ball on the
30-yard line and by steady gains,
they carried it without a break
down the field and Walker, the
star tackle, went over for another
touchdown which Cooperchanged
to six points. The score was now
23 to o. .
In the next kick-off, Salem
booted the ball past the checker
board and OAC took a free kick
from the 25-yard line. Salem
was downed with the ball on the
35-yard line. They tried a de
layed pass and as usual failed to
make yardage. OAC took the
ball on downs. Another goal
was soon in sight, but Salem held
on her 5-yard line. They punted
from behind their goal to the 35-
yaid line. , By rapid playing
OAC brought the ball back and!
crossed the goal line for the last
touchdown, which Cooper turned
into a goal. Score 20 to o. !
Sweek, who took Griffith's place
as half, nude a splendid show
ing. For OAC the entire team plav-
ed a star game. The big center
trio, Bundy, Cherry and Dunlap;
the ends, Cooper and Emily, and
the tackles and back field did
their part to win the victory.
For W. U. the team played good
ball but were completely out
matched.
Lawrence Hecker was thrown
from a horse a short time ago at his
home near W1'b and had his
shoulder dislocated. The animal
also kicked Mr. Hecker. At last
account the injured man was get
ting along nicely.
