' ''f i Jf Former Roosevelt Chef Recalls Long-Fight for Health After -Paralysis By Mary Orelner Kelly. There were hundred! of them tome pretty hungry looking too who had known Franklin D. Roosevelt when. They were eager to tell each other and the world in general about It, aa they pushed and shoved tor apace In the hallway outalde the New York governor's suite at the Port land Hotel during the visit there. Some had sat on the platform with him In 1913. One had shook tils hand In 1016. Another had seconded hla nomination for the vloe-presldency U In 1920. An elderly veteran had given much younger Franklin some sound advice (which, of course, he followed) ? a year or two previous. So the contest In reminiscent aelf T adulation rose and rumbled for hours 3 In that narrow hallway. And the 1 atmosphere became thick and a trifle atlcky. Through It all stood a quiet, middle-aged man with unusual, triangu lar eyes, who was obviously content to hug the wall and listen. Finally the various conferences and Interviews were ended. The doors were reluctantly opened by aides, and the crowd lined In single tile, stepped lively through one room and out an other where they shook the hand of a smiling Franklin Roosevelt. The man with the triangular eyes was still standing quietly In the hall when the last of the "Intimate frienda" came out. As he appeared, at last, In the exit doorway, the voice of the Democratic candidate boomed delightedly: "Charlie, come right in here. What's been holding you up so long?" : Then the doors closed on Franklin )' Roosevelt and hla good friend Chef Charles Richard, who probably comes nearer being one of the Roosevelt J family than anyone else outside It. Richard (accent on the last ayl- lable), who speaks four languagea J fluently, and la an expert dietician as - well as a chef, remained with noose- "i velt constantly during the long J months after he was stricken with 4 paralysis. He not only prepared hla ,J prescribed diet but administered It to ; the then physically neipies man. " i "Yes, I fed heem with a spoon at first." Richard confided In an Inter view later. "Heea arms and legs were both lifeless. It waa sheer will power that cured him." Monsieur Richard smiled happily over the top of hla unusual eyea and exclaimed: "But now look at heem. Look at those strong, powerful arms, and the way he awlngs them around in ma BOGUS TRAVELER CHECKS CASHED LOCAL Despite warnings of the state police, to merchants and cltliens to be wary of acceptance of forged travellers checks, a number of valley stores and resident the past week nave reporveo thev caahed the spurious paper, to eums ranging from to to tlS. Frank'a Cafe, thla city, the Talent eervice station at Talent, and W. V. Bates of Phoenix, report they were bilked. It is thought that more of the bad travellers checks have been passed In southern Oregon towns than reported. According to Information received by the state police, the travellera checks are a crude Imitation of the genuine, and are passed on merchanta and service station operatora, not ac quainted with the regular paper. They are made payable to "The American Trust Bank of Illinois," a flctltioua institution. The alleged passer of the bogus travellers checks Is ((-scribed by the state police, aa a Texan, driving an auto with a Texaa license, and ac companied by three children. He la known to have visited Crater Lake National park September 13. Infor mation In the hands of the authori ties Indicates that the "Texan" went ; as far north as Eugene, before re tracing his travels south again. lng his speech. And the lega getting better all the time. I tal you was surprls' when I see him today after being away so long. Ees he a seeck man now, eh? Ah, no. Weel power determination I" As a result of their reunion here, Governor Roosevelt Insisted upon Richard rejoining hla household In Albany, from whence. In case the Democratic candidate Is elected, he expects to follow him Into the White House aa chef de cuisine. That would be a fitting climax to the career of the man who has managed menus In the households of a number of prominent social and political families for years throughout the east. He waa with Josephus Dan iels lust prior to Roosevelt's Illness. and atlll reTera affectionately to the former secretary of navy aa "Dad." He haa personally met a number ol the greatest political lights of the day and has prepared favorite dishes tor most of them who have visited the Daniels home. He was acquainted with all the Roosevelt family. Includ ing the famous Theodore: Woodrow Wilson, Coolldge, Harding'. He cooked In the household of Doheny of Tea Pot Dome notoriety and met a num ber of the leading characters In that drama- Speaking of the preferencea of va rious notables who visited the Roose velt home, he observed that Al Smith rarely ate desaort. Probably due to hla early experiences at the Fulton fish market, he has little use for that food, but la a great meat eater. Roosevelt, on the other hand, eata little meat and la tremendously fond of fish. Hla favorite dessert la straw berry ahortcake. Asked whether he preferred cooking for men or women, Chef Richard threw up his hands at the thought of the latter. "Women no," he declared. "As a rule women are dictators in the cui sine. They destroy the creative art of the chef. The InslBt upon the mln. utest details additions and elimina tions that will distort a recipe. Eet becomes a theeng weethout Interest weethout character." He recalled an experience aa chef In an exclu sive Boston college for glrla. "Mrs. Roosevelt Is different,"' he added. She often came Into the cul alne and asked to watch me prepare a certain favorite dish. But she came to learn not to teach. Chef Rich ard dropped his shoulders and sighed: "That, madame, la ver' nice when women are like that!" UTILE BT. CREEK ROUTE SURVEYED I (Continued noia rage One) mission will meet at Salem Wednes day. A. D. Helms and Charles Howard, two members of the "Taxpayers As soclatton" that favored the Improve ment of the present road, rather than the building of a new one, have stated that arrangements have been made for any signer to withdraw their names from the petition, as they had no Intention of misrepresenting the facts.

Carle, Agent, Phone 34 "J tLL ' OF PACIFIC COAST (Continued noia Page One) The Western Pine association, with headquarters in Portland, . Ore., has also reported an Increase In business during the week of August 6 In the western pine territory. The ivual trend at this season Is downward, as compared to the same week In 1031, orders were almost equal, being 95 per cent of the total a year ago. Lum ber stocks In the territory are being decreased and are now 35 per cent of what they were a year ago. The same Is true In the region covered by the West Coast Lumbermen's associa tion. Prices Increased Average prices have Increased from $1.50 to D2.00 per thousand feet dur ing the past 60 days," the West Coast Lumbermen's association said. "The major Increases up to $2.00 have occurred In the Atlantic coast, Cali fornia water markets and In some items In the rail trade." The association attributed the in- creasea to "the very low production schedules at Individual mills and the fact that such operatora as were mak ing lumber during the period did so at a cost of from 93.00 to $4.00 per thousand board feet above the amount that could be realized for the lumber."
