West to Settle on Oregon Homestead Tracts. THEY ARE NOT "SKEERED' Fair Colonists Front Wisconsin and Minnesota Kay They Know the Practical Sid of Farming . and Will Sneered. Among the thousand of persona who have coma to Oregon to take np and build new notnea were f 01 pretty girls who yesterday arrived her bound for Central Oregon to locate on tour 320 acre homesteads. When Elinor Merer. Katberyn Ileyer. of Menomonte, Wis.: Bees Strvena, of Janesvtlle. Wla and Mabel Freeman, of Minneapolis, bid their friends good bye at the Northern Pacific depot In Minneapolis February S they bad Im plicit confidence In themselves, believing- that they would be able to earn sufficient money while on their way to Oregon to meet their current expenses and have funds left to pay the filing fees charged for entry on Government land. And the quartet of coum-eoue yonng women did not overestimate their abil ities. Two months' work In soliciting subscriptions for a magazine was filled with exciting experiences, but It proved a profitable undertaking. They will re main in Portland one week and then will go Into Central Oregon to take up their lot with the thousands of home seekers who have Just preceded them. The younar women are enthualastlo ever the possibilities afforded by their taking up homestead lands. What la more, they are not going Into the mat ter blindly. They have Informed turtn aelvea on every district In the central part of the stste and they know more about that territory than the average Portland resident. They were brought np on farms and they know connlderable about scientlna f armlnic-' They have mastered the rudi ments of the dry farming; method and they will take np their new labors with a conviction that they will succeed un der the most adverse circumstances. -We are delighted with Portland and Oregon and we feel that we will suc ceed la our farming venture." said Miss Elinor Ileyer. "We know that there will be many hardship, but of course sack things are to be expected when one goes pioneering. Our knowledge of fanning la not altogether theoret ical. It la practical and once we get our land we will make It all right. We wlU get four adjoining home steads If possible, so that we can have our cabins built at the four inside corners. That way we will be close to gether. We don't Intend to get lone some and homesick. Will we be afraid? No. The men of the Western country are chivalrous and have deep respect for our sex. We are anxious to get to our new location as soon as possible and to take up our new field of activity. -We still get letters from friends and relatives who look upon our venture as impossible, but It makes no difference to us what they think. We have be come so enthusiastic over the whole trip that the people out here are call ing ua the Your girls of the Golden West. Some of our Eastern friends are making light of our work and our In tentions to take up land, but we firmly believe that the last chuckle will be ours."

LindBey. of Denver, father of the Juvenile Court movement, at the Portland yesterday. "And it is cruelty to animals. Mark my prediction. Within the next two decades our schools for young children will be conducted as nearly as possible In the open air In the public parks, if possible. "When this has been brought about, parents will not be keeping their chil dren at home on account of sickness. They ' will send them to school to get well. Boys will then cease running away from school a.Vl. instead, will be running away from home to go to school." Lecture Tonr Being Completed. Judge Lindsey spent a few hours in Portland yesterday, being on his way from Astoria, where he delivered a lecture Saturday night, to Corvallls, where be speaks tonight. The foremost friend and advocate of the Juvenile Court was on the Pacific Coast about two months ago. but urgent busi ness engagements necessitated his re turn to Denver. He is now completing bis lecture tour, which was temporarily abandoned at that time. "From the experience I have gained In my contact with the boys and girls of this country. I am firmly convinced of the need and shall advocate the es tablishment by the Government of a Federal Children's Bureau." said Judge Llndsey. "I would have such- a bureau under the charge and direction of ex pertsmen and women embodying the temperaments of the doctor, lawyer and pedagogue. Through this bureau I would have conducted some experimentations with the children of our land. I would have even what you might term "experi ment stations' where the child and his moral impulses for good or for bad could be studied. Experiment Is Essential. Our Government - is spending large urns, of money annually experimenting with hogs and cattle-and even dogs, but no consideration is given to a study of our children the coming generation. Surely such a department should be pro vided by the Federal Government. There is a great and growing need for such an Institution. ... .. ..niaiitf tn IndnrnA the edi torial under the caption 'The Root of Evil puollsnea in ina uriggnim day. In It is presented impressively an Important phase of the conditions con fronting the Juvenile Court In Its work. The problem of saving the boys and girls requires that the social, economic, political and Industrial fields shall be Invaded and the true cause for the pres ent conditions and environments sur rounding the youth of the land dis covered and corrected. Juvenile Court Is Success. "Most gratifying results are being ob tained turouRh the Juvenile Courts of the land. But the field is large and greater results are to be accomplished. The fact that the number f children t courts Is lncreas- Ing has been used as an argument by some that tne juveunw wiwii a failure. Mm , . ... . .iht hr to denv that charge emphatically. On the contrary, the In creased numoer . ut tllllUI f fore the Juvenile Courts Is evidence of a more thoroughly vigilant and effective work by these courts. Their Investiga tions are more thorough and, conse quently, a greater number of children are reached. It is In the same propor tion, therefore.- that the . number of children receiving corrective Instruction and guidance from the Juvenile Courts Increases that the worth of this institu tion grows."

COLONIST INFLUX T YET IV A TJ I N G Oregon to Gain 35,000 New comers by Cut-Rate Pe riod, Say Rail Officials. BUt SIX DAYS MORE LEFT All Lines Taxed to Utmost In Brlng . Ing Settlers West More Pros perous People Come as Rush Xears Close. When the last. train bearing home seekers arrives In Portland at the end of this week, there will be brought to a close " the most successful - colonist movement ever Inaugurated by the transcontinental railroad systems serv ing Oregon. Officials of the Hill and Harrtman lines estimate that since the colonist rates were put Into effect 80 days ago. more than 25,000 people have been brought Into the state and with six more day left before the last colonist train reaches Portland, they believe the total number of newcom ers will easily reach 35,000. The Northern Pacific, Great North ern and Union Pacific lines have been taxed to their utmost to take care of the colonist rush. Almost every day it has been necessary to split trains Into two sections and put on additional coaches to accommodate the large number of newcomers and tourists seeklns; Oregon as their future home. It Is estimated that more colonists have already been brought into Oregon this year than during 1910. All Possess Funds. A better class of colonists seems to be flocking to Oregon with the close of the low-fare period. While those who are coming In now are no more desira ble than the crowds who arrived earlier, they seem to have more funds and more of a determination to invest their money and to remain permanently in the state. s While over 75 per cent of ithose who came in March rode in the coaches, nearly 50 per cent now are traveling in tourist sleepers. The railroads gen erally take the style in-which a man travels as an Indication of how he is likely to use his money. An Increasing number of recent ar rivals have been urged to seek their fortunes by their friends and relatives who came out a few weeks ago, and consequently the number of women and children in the cars is becoming greater. Newspaper . publicity has done more than anything else, probably, to at tract the stranger here, whether it was paid advertising or pure reading matter describing the state's numerous advant ages. Newspapers' Call Heeded. The states of the Central and Middle West continue to furnish the bulk of colonist travel and the country weekly and the agricultural Journal seem to have played an Important part In In ducing these to locate here. The Com mercial Club and the Chamber of Com merce of Portland have carried ex tensive advertising campaigns through these mediums and the results, as evi denced by the expressions of former farmers of Mississippi valley states, have been extremely fruitful. ' Of probably equal Influence was the anlversary edition of The Oregonian, Issued February 4, and copies of the regular edition sent to eastern people by friends already living here. Many of those who are following heads of families that came last month have read copies of The Oregonian. The exhibition cars sent through the East by some of the railroads also seems to have had a favorable effect. Some persons who had been consider ing' the advisability of coming to Ore gon for a year or more were Induced to start when they saw the splendid dis plays of the Oregon products in the traveling cars or at one of the perma nent booths maintained by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads at various Eastern points. 150-0 One Say's Total. Yesterday's arrivals aggregated prob ably 1500 persons. Among the number were many women and children and several parties of young men who want to take up homestead land in the cen tral part of the state. Adam Benfer, of Paducak, Ky., brought his wife and three children and wants to secure a farm in the Wil lamette Valley. They will remain In Dn.tt.nd until thitv secure a permanent location. They have been reading of Oregon in various Eastern publications. T. L Whiting, a blacksmith of Cin i clnnati. Is seeking a desirable town In which to open a shop. If he is suc cessful, he will send for his family and remain lr, this state. ; Mrs. Thomas Capron. of La Porte. ' Ind., came to Join her husband, who has gone Into Central Oregon. He came out with the first rush of colonists from the East last montn. iney win remain permanently. Roger Thomas, Carl Jones and Harry Bludget, none of them over 21, came . -.uiaao-a ti fv am lookincr for 1IUIU J jobs in Portland, but would not object i to locating In other parts of the state ; if they tan remain together. Willamette Valley Attracts. H. T. Zerbey, of Council Bluffs, la., has a small amount of capital which he will Invest under favorable conditions in any of several Willamette Valley towns which he has In mind. He is ex perienced in various mercantile lines and has a family. He has read The Oregonian annual. Lee Parmelee, of Holsington, Kan., a railroad hand and a farmer. Is bringing his family to Oregon and wants to set tle in the Willamette Valley. Tj. S. Bradd, of Red Oak, la., would Invest in farm property if favorable terms could be made. He has read the Commercial Club's advertising mat ter arrd thereby has , been induced to come to the state. Peter Forbes, of McCook, Neb., ac companied by his wife and four boys, came to Join his brother, who has been living In Grants Pass for a year. They may locate at the same place. Homeseekers!

Loitering About Auto-Staiids to Be Forbidden Altogether More Revelations Expected. . Past of the great chain of "white slave" depots which Is believed to exist In Portland is seen by interested per sons, in the exposure by Sheriff Stevens and his deputies of the Weiser opera tions. Young girls, it Is said, are con stantly lured here, from both city and country homes, and when their tuition In the ways of the underworld has reached a proper state, they are deliv ered to disreputable houses, not only, here but In smaller towns. Always the automobile Is a factor In' working upon the impressionable minds of the intended victims to whom the delights of a "Joy ride" are offered as the strongest lure. In fighting this evil, the police have invoked the "after hours" ordinance to its full limit and many young girls have been delivered to the rescue homes in consequence. Renewed orders have been given by Chief of Police Cox to patrolmen to check the loitering of young girls about the automobile stands, where. It Is said, much of the delinquency originates. It was through this method of approach that Luther Adcox committed the crime for which he was sentenced recently to the penitentiary. . Further revelations are expected to grow out of the arrest of the Weiser gang by the Sheriff, who has enlisted the support of all orders of authorities'! in ms campaign. Mount Angel Man Makes Boast.
