BENEFITS OF
Y. MXA. TOLD
CANADIAN SOLDIER BRINGS MESSAGE
Milton" A.' Miller Delivers Stirring Ad-
dress at High School Mass Meet
. ing Launching Local Drive
The direct message of the needs and
benefits to the boys in the trenches of
those serving under the sign of the
Red Triangle was brought to the peo
ple of Hood River county Sunday af
ternoon by A. E. Erwin, a wounded
Canadian soldier of Victoria, B. C,
who arrived in Portland Friday to tour
the state in the interest of the week's
Y. M. C. A. drive. Every chair in the
big high school auditorium was filled,
hundreds of those present parents of
sons already in France or on the way.
Members of the Y. M. C. A. soliciting
teams, composed of 60 professional
and business men and orchardists, were
seated on the stage.
In bearing ana gesture still showing
the effects of German shells, the
young Canadian told his personal ex
periences. "I shall never forget it, " he said.
"We returned from a week of waiting,
a week of fighting. Our clothing had
been sodden for a week. Some of our
comrades had 'gone west,' as we sol
diers say : we never refer to death over
there. We were a dispirited lot of
men, but there at the very entrance of
the trenches as we emerged we came
upon the headquarters of the Red Tri
angle, and we men were served soup
and coffee. A company of English en
tertainers - gave us a performance.
Soon some of our own men were at
the piano playing and others were join
ing in the chorus of 'The Long Train,'
or 'Take Me Back to my Home in Ten
nessee.' Before, we left that Y. M. C.
A. room every man of us felt that be
himself could lick the German army."
The young Canadian told of the bap
tism of fire of him and his fellows.
He briefly sketched some of the details
of history of the fighting of 1915.
"The British government considers
the Y. M. C. A. work so important,"
said Mr. Erwin, "that . all sports and
entertainment are left in absolute
charge of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries,
35 of whom are with the Canadian
forces. Nor are the Y. M. C. A. men
out of danger. Nearly always they
are up at the very front in the range
of shell fire. Very often they are
working in conjunction with the infan
try. I could tell you of numerous fa
talities among men whose work it is to
make it easier for us boys over there.
The Y. M. C. A. is doing a great work
in keeping up the spirit and morale of
the soldiers."
-Mr. Erwin was followed by Milton
A. Miller, collector of customs, of
Portland, who delivered a stirring ap
peal to the people of v Hood River to
contribute readily and cheerfully to
the fund. Mr. Miller sketched the
early history of the Republic. He told
of the patriotism and heroism of Na
than Hale, who regretted, as he was
sent to an ignoble death by red coat
hangmen, that he had but a single life
to give for his country. He recalled
the sacrifice of George Washington,
who paid from his own pocket the sum
of $65,000 to members of his Continen
tal army.
"In their weakness," declared Mr.
Miller, "our fathers established this
republic. In the strength of our 100,
000 000 men and our $220,000,000,000
of wealth we must preserve it. How
in the face of the sacrifices of Nathan
Hale and George Washington can we
fail to respond to the calls that are
now being made upon us? How, when
we have boys by the millions today
displaying the spirit of Nathan Hale,
can we deny our comfort and support
by failing to contribute to the Y. M.
C. A. fund that will be raised this
week?"
Mr. Miller praised the women of
America and Oregon for their sacri
fices and their participation in the pa
triotie activivies of the nation.-
"If the women of the world had the
vote, as they have here in Oregon," he
declared, "we would never have had
this war."
Frequently Mr. Miller was greeted
with bursts of applause, but one of the
most lasting outbursts of hand clap
ping followed this statement :
"Let us take some of these German
sympathizers here and tell them we
are going to send them back to Ger
many. We Avould hear from them a
howl like that from some'. trapped wild
animals on your hillsides.' They would
have to be bound hand and foot, if we
ever got them back.
"Recently I was talking with Geo,
H.- Himes, secretary and curator of
the Oregon Historical Society. He
told me of a German family down in
Washington county. They came to
Anerica to better their lot. They
prospered and purchased a farm, and
finally one day the father aeclared his
intention of returning to Germany to
visit his old mother. One day while
in his old home city he was standing
on a street corner discussing some
topic of the day. Suddenly he felt a
hand on his shoulder and an officer told
him that he must cease Buch criticisms,
'I know you,' the officer told him, 'and
I will not arrest you, but I will warn
you that such utterances must not be
made again.'
"That old man returned to the home
of his relatives, he bade them goodbye
and returned to his American home,
'I do not want to remain longer,' he
said, 'in such a land. I want to get
back to where I can breathe the air of
freedom.' And thus I say to you peo-
Dle here today, to those 01 foreign na
tions who have come among us and can
only find fault with our affairs now at
this time of crisis, to them let us say
if you are not pleased go back to that
country from which you came."
; Mr. Miller told of the plans of the
German government when they began
the war in 1914. He declared that he
had heard recently in Portland from
the lips of W. T. Foster, president of
Reed College, who had just returned
from a tour of Europe bringing back
with him incontestable proofs, of the
plans of the Hun.
"Why. do you know," said Mr. Mil
ler, "the Germans had planned on tak
ing their army across Belgium and
reaching Paris? There they would
have mowed down a section of that
wonderful city, and then thev would
have called for the submission of
France. If it had been refused, they
would have mowed down another sec
tion, and then another and another.
Thenaccording to those plans, which
we now know, they wouia nave a one
the same thing to London and then the
aaine thing to New York. ""'"tV
"The kaiser gave an eight hour no
tice to the people of Belgium to an
swer their request of passage across
their territory. Well did the Belgians
know what their reply meant, but it
was a question of honor. How awful
has been their sacrifice that their hon
or might live and shine resplendent
through the ages. But me army 01
Belgium, that little country not as
large as two of the counties of Ore
gon, was the'grain of sand that clogged
the machinery of the imperial German
army and gave France time to get her
second breath and England time to
prepare. I tell you, when one knows
of all these facta and then will not
fight, there ia a streak of yellow some
where.
The high school meeting was pre
sided over by Leslie Butler, chairman
of the Y. M. C. A. drive committee.
An invocation was pronounced by Rev.
E. C Newham, of Pine Grove. Ac
companied by Mrs. LeRoy Taft and
with Prof. Gibson "leading, the meet
ing was opended by the singing of
America.
TIEMAN NIGHT IS
ONE OF PATRIOTISM
Sunday night, when the big hall was
crowded, members having journeyed in
from far points of the valley, the Ma
sonic lodge paid its annual tribute to
he late Andrew H. Tieman. who be-
queated his entire fortune to the lodge
to be used for the construction or the
building, and simultaneously partici
pated in a patriotic celebration. .
Following a dinner, one of the fea
tures of the annual Tieman night, with
C. D. Nickelseil accompanying on the
cornet, America was rendered. An
invocation was pronounced by Kev. M.
L. Hutton. Accompanied by Mrs.
Nickelsen. J. R. Nickelsen rendered
popular melodies. Introduced" by A. J.
Derby, Master of the lodge, a patriotic
address was delivered by Mr. Hutton,
who was followed by E. L. Smith, the
lodge's first Master, who has been a
Mason for 59 years. Capt. Geo. R.
Wilbur, commanding officer of 12th
Co., O. 'C. A., was here from Frt
Canby to be the honor guest of the
evening.
"The Unification of Our Lives," was

J. W. CRITES
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT
ELECTRIC THEATRES
the subject chosen by Mr. Hutton,
whose able ,. address was inspiring.
Rev. Hutton urged that men live
broader, ; fuller lives, v - -. - r !
"The church and religion," he said,
"should not be placed off in one corner
apart in a niche. I do not see why a
man cannot go to a horse race, an hon
est race, today and then go to hear a
good sermon tomorrow. I do not see
why one cannot go to a dance tonight
and be thrilled by the music and go to
church on the morrow.
"Away back yonder in the dark ages
men thought they had to starve their
bodies iiT order to gain spiritual feast,
and it was considered that the soul
must be shriveled in order to enjoy
the pleasures of the "body. But we are
past those conceptions today, and yet
we have not reached the goal of com
plete unification. "
Mr. Hutton declared that ootn the
people and the ministers were to blame
tor the conditions that exist. The elo
quent minister closed his address by
pointing out that the great war is
bringing about such a unification in
the lives of men.
"We are being made to see," he de
clared, "that nations as well as men
cannot live unto themselves alone.
And in the past few months we have
seen new relationships between the
government and individuals shaping
themselves. The government and its
individual units are becoming part
ners." Mr. Smith is known throughout Ore
gon for his eloquence. He was never
better than Sunday evening when he
related hia reminiscences of his old
friend, . Andrew Harry Tieman, the
benefactor of the lodge.
Andrew Harry Tieman, as Mr. Smith
told his fraternal brethren, was born
about 1830 in Denmark. He came of a
family of sailors, and at the age of
eight or nine he persuaded an uncle to
take him aboard his vessel as cabin
boy.
"Mr. Tieman," said Mr. Smith,
"during the course of his career, trav
eled broadly. He visited Jerusalem.
Later he was with Commodore Perry
on his visit to Japan. I have listened
to his interesting account of that visit.
Commodore Perry carried a fully
equipped little railway line, a circular
affair, that was set up on the sands of
a beach. He had a telegraph line.
When the railroad was up the whistle
cord waa pulled and at the screech the
little Japanese were almost frightened
to death. They were invited to take a
ride, but no one volunteered. Finally
one of Commodore Perry's brawny
sailors picked up a little brown man
and held him on a car. After that
there were more passengers than could
be accommodated. Two years ago the
300 Japanese of the Hood River valley
celebrated the birthday of their em
peror, and nothing would do them but
that I come and make them a speech.
I got some books and read up on Japan,
and I waa astonished at the progress
that had been made in that country.
No other nation has ever so advanced
in so short a time, and it all had its
beginnings in that visit of Commodore
Perry.
"Later we find Mr. Tieman here on
the Columbia river a mate of one of
those early day steamships that plied
on the upper river. A tremendous
traffic was being done on the river
then, for gold had just been discovered
in Idaho. Mr. Tieman, himself, got
the gold fever, and went up on a pros
pecting tour. He found more dirt,
however, than gold, and he returned to
become engaged in the transportation
business himself, operating a barge.
"Shortly afterward Mr. Tieman and
the late Mason Baldwin formed a part
nership to enter .stockraf sing in the
Mount Hood section. But for two
years before they began their ranch
operations they lived at a little house
near where the road to Mosier now
leaves the valley highways and living

VALLEY'S Y. M. C. A. QUOTA ASSURED
Soliciting Teams Declare that Dozens Art
Willing to Make Sacrifices in
Contributing
The biggest thing throughout the
nation this week is the campaign to
raise the Y. M. C. A. war fund. It ' ia
the biggest thing in Hood River, and
scores of business men and orchardists -are
giving much of their time to as
semble the $1,500 quota set for the
county.
That word assemble is used purpose
ly," for indeed the teams are finding
that solicitations are not necessary.
In almost all instances the teams are
finding the citizens of town and valley
all ready with their contributions.
They have made up their minds in ad
vance. They have considered their
financial condition and have given what
they consider they are able.
Indeed, members of teams say that
dozens of those who have made con
tributions are ready to undergo sacri
fices that in justice to themselves they
ought not to make, and in many in
stances, at the possible expense of
offending the donors, contributors were
anked to cut their appropriations in
half.
It was announced yesterday morning
that Hood River county had already .
passed the $650 mark and that indica
tions pointed conclusively to the real
ization of the goal set by Saturday
night.
H. R. VINEGAR CO.
COMMANDEERED
To supply the quartermaster's de
partment with several thousand gal
lons of vinegar, the total output of the
plant of the Hood Rivet Apple Vinegar
Co. has been commandeered and for.
the next 30 days the concern will work
exclusively generating product for
army use.
"It was our desire to coperate to the
fullest extent with the government,",
says C. J. Calkins, "but as we hap
pened to have outstanding contracts
for all of our production, we requested
the government, if they desired the
product, to'commandeer it. This they
have done. We will not be prohibited,
however, from shipping sweet cider."
The government, it is stated, will
use apple vinegar exclusively in its
soldiers' diet bec ause of the malic acid
it contains.
Ellis Morse on Way to Front
In a letter to home folks, Ellis
Morse, son ot Mr. and Mrs. L. M.
Morse, writes that he is en route to
Flanders.
"I hope," writes the young man,
"that I will soon be able to meet up
with some of the other Hood River
boys in the service."
Young Morse, a member of an aero
squadron, was recently promoted to

there engaged in cutting wood for ship
ment to The Dalles. They constructed
a rough road down to the Columbia. I
remember discovering this road later
and was told for what it had been used
by my lamented friend, David A. Tur
ner. "With my family my wife and four
little girls I came to the valley in
1876. In those early days, especially
on the lowlands, ague prevailed. On
of my little girls, Jessie, now Mrs. J.
F. Watt, happened to be suffering from
the ague when Mr. Tieman was paying
us a visit.
" 'Mrs. Smith,' he said, 'you come
and bring the little girl and spend a
week with me at my home and then
when the week is over Mr. Smith can
come and get you. It will cure the
little girl of her trouble.' Mrs. Smith
made the trip and in a week's time I
went for them. I remember well that
home. Fat cattle and horses were
eating from great stacks of hay.
Heaps of eggs were in the pantry and
great mounds of butter. The trip had
the desired effedt for Mrs. Watt
'"Having been a sailor Mr. Tieman
could both cook and sew, and he made
the clothing for himself and Mr. Bald
win, both shirts and trousers out of a
heavy striped cheviot. I once asked
him how he could tell them apart and
he told me that he hemmed Mr. Bald
win's clothes but not his own.
."Once a Unitarian minister from
Portland, a Mr. Galligan, decided that
he would like to climb Mount Hood.
There were no roads then, and the
bushes and brambles had soon com
pletely ruined his light trousers. He
borrowed a pair from Mr. Tieman, and
1 assure you that he created some
amusement when he appeared in the
pulpit here the next day.
Mr. Smith related an incident in Mr.
Tieman 's life that caused him to re
vise hisj views of the hereafter and
profess a belief in a hell. Formerly
the pioneer had declare that he did not
believe in the existence of a hell, and
had remonstrated with Mr. Turner for
teaching such to a Sunday school class.
But one night while riding homeward
he was crossing a burned area when a
snag struck him on the head and
knocked him from his horse.
"Awakening from his state of co
ma," said Mr. Smith, "Mr. Tieman
seemed to perceive a sulphurous odor
in the atmosphere. He returned to the
home of Jesse NeaL where he had been
visiting, and the next day called on
Mr. Turner to tell him that a bell ex
isted, for, as he said, '1 have seen, felt
and smelled it since I last saw you.' "
Mr. Smith related how Mr. Tieman
was the third applicant to the local
Masonic lodge after it was organized.
Without kith or kin, the brotherhood
and fratemalism of the order meant
much to the retired sailor and pioneer
in his eveningtime of life.
In his talk Capt Wilbur expressed
his pride in. 12th Co. He declared that
all of the men were in better condition
ohvsically and mentally than when they
I left Hood River last July.
