Mr. Breck has "been taking a holiday at Government Camp, and on Saturday mornlngr, la company with a party, he -went up to the snow line. From that time till Sunday afternoon he vas alone, and his story is as follows "We left the Camp about 9 on the morn ing of Saturday. The remainder of the toarty rode, hut I ivalked.

Almost without fvrarnlng a fine snow commenced to fall. fBefore I could make any headway back imy tracks had -been entirely obliterated jand I was lost. Knowing that whatever I did I must not get too far away from the right road, I tried to mount a sharp (ascending ridge much llko a hog's back, ft struggled along this until I found that (Its course up the mountain was practical ay interminable. Then I determined to re trace my steps to my former position.

I could not see an inch ahead of my nose; It was ralnlnir: I hadn't, even a match; I naa nothing to eat; I had no wraps. I went under a big tree,, leaned against the trunk end sDent the night there. I did not walk around. I just etood there and waited for the morning. Time and again I nod ded off, to wake with a start. In the dawn I went to the banks of what I sup pose was one branch of the Zigzag, and there I rested awhile. I was very stiff In deed: so much so that I could hardly drag one leg after the other. In the full light I followed this stream down. On my way I found berries and with these I kept up my strength. It was noon when I reacn- ed the road about a mile and a half from the tellgate. I made my way to this and stayed there till Monday morning." Mr. Breck came In last evening on his wheel from the Camp.x He was very much exhausted by his experiences. The last day's ride was ES miles, and this, taken with the exposure and struggles of his right on the bleak mountain, had very nearly done him up. COLONEL DOSCH'S PLAN. "What He Propone to Do With Sum ter Howitzers. As told In yesterday's Oregonlan, Colo nel Dosch has balled out his exhibit from Charleston, that has been In the hands of the railroad companies so long. All these goods were to have come West free of charge over the Union Pacific, but through some mistake they got billed over another route, and when they arrived here the Great Northern Company had charges against them. Colonel Dosch was told that he could not get his boxes and pack ages from the freight' sheds till the mat ter had been settled by Ihe payment of the charges, but after some efforts he put up a bond for the amount and had the exhibit hauled up to his office on Wash ington street While superintending the work yesterday Colonel Dosch said "Those are the much-talked-of howitzers and shells from Fort Sumter, held up with the exhibit. What am I going to do with them? well, first, I am going to ex hlblt them at the Elks' Carnival, where I am now preparing a booth. I will also have an exhibit of the .grains, fruits and grasses that secured so many prizes at the exhibitions at Buffalo and Charleston. After the fair I will turn the cannon over to the city, or to the committee on the soldiers' monument, and they can do as they see fit with them. Since my return Jefferson Myers called on me. and. assist ed by documentary evidence, showed me that he had had no desire to divert 'these cannon from their original object, and mat nis only motive was to assist in se curing them for Oregon. This being the case, an injustice has been done Mr. My ers. and I for one wish to have his story puDiisnea, ana taxe tnis method to do so. "Under the present status, the howitzers are under the charge of the cltv author! ties, but as the city has no more use for them than a white elephant has I think what they should, and probably will do, win ue to turn- tnem over to the monu ment committee." WHY ISSCHOOL MONEY IDLE? Ex-Senator Joseph! Explains pose of Recent Statute. Par- PORTLAND, Aug. IS. (To the Editor.) .Referring to a communication from Salem, published in a recent Issue of The Orego nian, in which the question was raised as to the authority of the State Land Board to purchase bonds, bearing less than 6 per cent per annum Interest, issued by municl pal corporations or school districts in the State of Oregon, I wish to state that If tne validity of such purchase is" to be construed by the rule of "the Intention of the Legislators." it is undoubtedly lawful tor tne btate Land Board to make Dur- chase of such bonds, even at a less rate than C per cent. As to intention, I write advisedly. As a member of the State Senate during the session or laoi. I introduced the bill which became the act in question. It was care 'fully prepared, at my request, by the pres ent Attorney-General, Judge Blackburn, and was intended to meet the suggestion contained in the Inaugural message of Governor Geer to the Legislature of IDOL This suggestion was based upon the reconv mendaaon of the State Land Board that. In view of the fact that a large amount of money (at the time of writing the mes sage $000,000) was lyjng unloaned for the benefit of the School Board, because ap proved applications for C per cent loans were not In hand to cover the amount named. It would be wise to purchase "ap proved district or municipal bonds in order that the money, otherwise idle, might earn something, at least. It was evl dently the intention of the board to ask for authority to employ these surplus" funds even at a rate less than the pre scribed 6 per cent, and It was as evidently the object of the law, as passed, to ac complish the result desired by the board. Such was well understood by the legis lature, for when the bill was before the Senate I explained Its provisions as above Indicated, arid the benefits to the fund- that might accrue, should It become a law, and I have good reason to believe that the true Intent was well understood by the members of the House also. The Attorney-General, In drawing the bill, understood that the intention was not to limit the board to bonds bearing a minimum Interest rate of 6 per cent, for otherwise It would not have been neces sary to insert the provision for purchase of the bonds. An examination of the act will show that Its language fully warrants this interpretation. After directing that funds Ahall be loaned at 6 per cent per annum, the following language Is used: "Provided, however, that if at any time there be a surplus of either of these funds over and above all loans applied for, the State Land Board may, in Its discretion. Invest such portion of said surplus as In their judgment they may deem proper In bonds Issued by municipal corporations and school districts in the State of Ore- FIRST PHOTOGRAPH OF MAJ.-GEN. H. C.

Of course, 1 cheerfully concede that construction of a statute Is matter for the lawyers, and I make no pretension to do otherwise In this case than call at tention to facts "within my own personal knowledge and experience as to the Inten tion of the Legislators and the circum stances under which the act was framed. I would not ask to occupy space in your paper with this did I not realize, as all thinking persons must, that it is a matter of the greatest financial Importance to the public schools of the state. Over 5700,000 of the irreducible school funds are lying idle. It means, even at only 3 per cent per annum, the loss of $21,000 per year to the cause of public education In our state. I trust the members of the School Land Board will see their way clear to invest much of the now unemployed surplus in bonds falling within the limita tions of the act, and that they will not wait for applications for such to come to them, but will seek out duly approved bonds, to the end that the school funds may receive the benellt contemplated by the law. S. E. JOSEPH!. MRS. GALPIN'S LECTURE. "Some of Shakespeare's Heroines" Finely Discussed. Mrs- Kate Tupper Galpln was greeted by old friends and acquaintances last night at the Unitarian Chapel, and they listened with Interest to her lecture on "Some of Shakespeare's Heroines." Mrs. Galpln is an easy and experienced speak er, with a cultivated voice, which makes lecturing easy and delightful. She Is also a life-long student of Shakespeare, and regards his work In arousing people to the reading of the great dramatist good missionary work. Mrs. Galpln finds good women and bad women, faithful women and faithless women. In the plays, but she finds a life- lesson In alL "As well try to find com mon characteristics In American women as In the women delineated by Shakes peare," she said. "They are various as in nature." Tho chief heroines dwelt upon Jn the hour's address were Lady Macbeth, Constance and Katherlne of Aragon. Lady Macbeth was treated as a psychological contrast to Macbeth,, she being practical, he Idealistic; she suffer ing the penalty of their mutual crime through horrors of memory, he through horrors of Imagination. Nowhere are the terrible consequences following sin more vividly depicted than In these fiend-driven souls. s Mrs. Galpln commented on Shakes peare's failure to depict perfect mother love, gave readings to delineate the char acter of Constance, the mother who most appeals to sympathy, pointed out her failure to satisfy ideals because of her Impatience under suffering and her pride, scorn and self-will. In contrast to Con stance and her Impatience in the hearing of suffering and wrong, Mrs. Galpln drew the character of Katherlne, whose "great patience" was her chief characteristic. While Mrs. Galpln's comments on the heroines were discriminating and schol arly, her chief emphasis was placed on the ethical significance of the plays and their great life-lesson. Politics in Japan.

The Dalle Man Say It Takes Clever FJnli to Get Fast the Astoria Tv'ets. "The season Just closed was an excep tionally, poor one for the cannerymen of the .Upper Columbia River," said F. A. Seufert, of The Dalles, last'evenlng. Mr. Seufert, who Is at the Imperial for a few days. Is joint owner of a large salmon packing establishment Just above The Dalles,' and Is thoroughly familiar with every phase of the fishing industry. "During the past season our firm had to send to the fishermen below the Cascades ARMY OFFICERS IN THE NEW MAJ.-GBX. S. M. B. YOUNG. to get fish enough to fill our orders for canned goods. This unfortunate state of affairs on the Middle and Upper Columbia will continue Just as long as the State of Oregon permits fishing- on the bar of the river. In order to get through the nets ut the bar, a fish must be an artist, and a clever one, too. If the Oregon Legisla ture were to pass a law prohibiting such fishing at the bar, the State of Washing ton would do the same thing, and- the cannerymen all along the river would be given an even chahce. As It is now, Astoria has a monopoly on the whole catch. The people there cannot be blamed for' taking advantage of the present law3, but It Is the duty of the Legislature to give every locality a fair shake in this matter. , "Another thing that would be of great and lasting benefit to fishermen, as well as all other residents of the state, would be the establishment of four or five salmon hatcheries on the Upper Columbia and Snake Rivers. Oregon now receives more than (2,000 annually as a license fund from the fishermen. This amount would keep half a dozen hatcheries-running, and the state would be amply repaid within a few years. The cost of establishing four or five hatcheries would be probably $20,000. which sum the Legislature could well afford to appropriate. The license fund could then be used for the maintenance of these hatcheries, which would plant 2)0,000,000 small fish each year. In a short time, four or five years, these small fish would mature, and the butput of Oregon's canneries would be triple that of the present year. When first liberated the small fish heads for the sea, and returns four years later. Experiments show this to be true. I caught a salmon this Sum mer that was marked by the late Fish Commissioner H. D. MeQuIre, In 183S. The fish weighed SI pounds, and was a beauty. I( the State of Oregon uses a little fore sight In this matter, the fishing Industry here will be made a famous bhe. We must sever the industry from politics before we can hope to succeed. "The third great need of the fishing In dustry is a suitable fish channel at tho Oregon City falls. There Is no reason why the Upper Willamette and tributaries should not teem with fish." ZIG-ZAG CLXJB OUTING. Cyclists Pny a Visit to the Farm of J. J. Camp. Portlanders have noticed on the Heights, a mile and a half south of Road master W. B. Steele's home, on the Sec tion road, a white farmhouse, half-concealed In the trees. This is the home of J. J. Camp, a well-known resident, and is the center of one of the finest pioneer farras in the state. To reach this farm Sunday morning, to which place It had been Invited for breakfast, the Zrg-Zag Cyclo Club took the south cross road to Kronenburg's farmhouse on the Powell Valley road, where the wheels were left and the quaint, white farmhouse was reached on foot. The members of the club bear testi mony to the hospitality of Mrs. Camp, In the absence of her husband, who, being 111, Is absent at the seaside, while she runs the big farm. A breakfast that would have tempted the blase appetites of crowned heads was served the hungry wheelmen. The members of the Zlg-Zag Club were slow to leave the table, and for over an hour they enjoyed the enter- talnment of their host. Not less enjoyable was the stroll over a portion of the magnificent farm, for .it would take several days to get entirely over It- This Is called "Walnut Farm." On It are COO fine English walnut trees, and the output is the most extensive and finest In the Northwest. On an elevation, near where the old homestead house still stands, are two walnut trees between 00 and 70 years old. They "ne nearly 20 Inches in diameter at the foot, and mas- slve Hmbs' spring from the sides and run riot In ever direction. Both stand over 6S feet In height. From one of these trees over 15 bushels of first-class English walnuts are usually taken every year. When the large limbs are trimmed off. tho wood Is saved and made up Into or namental articles. In other portions of the farm, way up the sloping heights, long rows of the walnut trees skirt the fields and are drooping under their weight. It may be said that Mr. Camp has received many medals for his fine walnuts. This Is a pioneer farm, and perhaps the main "object of interest is the old two story farmhouse, which stands high up the slope, said to have been built more than GO years ago. Its condition Indicates Its great age. The wood of the doors and sides shows the erosions of time, and there Is an atmosphere of the pioneer age about the structure that carries one back to the time when John Douglas came out West and bought the place from, the pioneer who cleared the land. He never altered the farmhouse, but his plans were prepared for the erection of a b!g house for a Summer resort along side a bubbling spring of clear mineral REGULATION UNIFORM IilEUT. JAS. F.

It 13 now valued at over $40,0v0. From the elevation at the old homestead farmhouse there is view of tho country extending in every direction for from 50 to 70 miles. East ward almost every foot of country is seen to tne cascade range, while over northward is half of Washington spread out, with the silver waters of tho broad Columbia sweeping, to- the sea. A por tlon of Portland Is also visible. Off to- the south is Paradise Valley, embraced with sloping hills and watered by bubbling springs. To the south and southeast the route of tho Oregon Water Power and Railway Company's Sprlngwater and Gresham trolley line Is surveyed. From Mr. Camp's farm the route as It extends on to Gresham can be seen to cut through the heart of the richest portion of Powell Valley. The Zig-Zag Club left with the Impression uppermost that It was the most enjoyable outing they had yet taken, and those who attended thought how much the absentees missed the joy of their lives by being scared out by a little shower.

PORTLAND LIBRARY. Efforts of the Woman's Clab and. Its Present Hopes. OSWEGO. Or., Aug. 2n-(To the Editor.) Having given two years close study to library laws and library conditions In Oregon, It gives the most intense satis faction to see the library sentiment growing as Is evidenced by the recent ar ticles In the Oregonlan, especially the editorial In the paper of this dafe. While the women of the state were struggling to give Oregon the meager law It now enjoys, they were met on every hand with the cry. "There is no library sentiment; the people do not want it yet"; but amidst discouragements only realized by those In the fight, the women went persistently on, until they got bill before the Legislature. Now, hoping to be pardoned for the spirit of "I told you so," we must say had the women been as loyally supported at that time by press and public as the library now Is, there would not be the lamentations today about a shortage of funds, and the most popular Institution In the clty crlppled and utterly unable to be assisted without again appealing to the Legisia ture. When the library bill went to the Legislature, profiting by the experience of other states which found that some towns were willing to be taxed more, others less, a tax limit was omitted, leav ing It to the discretion of the City Coun ell to levy such tax as was necessary to support a library commensurate with the demands of their town. When the bill went to the committee, the women in charge of the bill were communicated with and told, "The library sentiment of the state Is not sufficient to Justify putting such unlimited power Into the hands of a City Council." After arcuments and all else failed the Legtsla tive committee placed the 1-5 mill limit, and the women had to Be contented, but wpro stronsr in the confidence that it would do lust what Is now the case. namelv. nrove to the doubting that Ore son. and especially Portland, was ready for public libraries and that that sum would be wholly msumcient to meet iuj Outside of personal donations, the only chance the Portland library now has Is In another appeal to the Legislature.
