ORIGINAL PATENT TO LAND IN CORNERSTONE Into the copper box buried In the branch asylum cornerstone this af ternoon went one document that de serves to rank as the best historical souvenir deposited. It was the orig inal United States patenf to the land on which the branch asylum stands. The land, comprising 173 acres, was filed upon in early days by J. H. Shar on, pioneer resident and father of Councilman J. L. Sharon. The pat ent to the land was not Issued, how ever until January 15, 1876, and the patent bears the signature of Presi dent V. S. Grant. It was recorded In Umatilla county on February 26, 1876, and at that tinio-the patentee, Mr. Sharon, was himself the county clerk and recorded the Instrument. The patent to the land has long been in the possession of Mrs. Sharon, widow of the departed pioneer, and at the suggestion of her son she gave the paper to the committee today for deposit In the cornerstone box. MUNICIPAL RANI); MOVING PICTURES FOR HOUSTON Houston, Texas. Houston Is to have a municipal band and a munici pal moving picture show. Both fea tures will be In the pay of the city and their services will be free to the public nt large. May first the two innovations go Into effect. The municipal band will consist of 30 pieces, both band and orchestra. The band will play nightly In the summer In the parks, while In the winter the band and orchestra will play free concerts In the new MOO, 000 municipal aduitorium. In the winter two vocalists will be added to the music equipment of the city. The band also will bo avilable for trade excursions and for boosting delega tions to other cities when Houston goes In quest of conventions. The moving picture show will be In stalled in the auditorium. Films will be shown Sunday afternoons and nights both summer and winter. The doors will be open free to everyone and it is believed the seating capacity will be generally filled. Lectures and other forms of entertainment will be provided by the city free of cost. These features Inaugurated by Mayor Rice are believed revolution ary In municipal government. But four other cities Denver, Los An geles, Pittsburg and Milwaukee have municipal bands, but the winter con certs and the moving picture show singing and lecture entertainments arc hitherto unthought of phases o municipal government. When the suffragettes get what they are after and an election goes wrong, a man will have one thing more to blame on his wife. PERSONAL MENTION John Campo of Salem U registered at the Bowman today.

It has been fortunate In having a staff of experienced institutional men such as Dr. Stiener and Dr. Griffith and other able physicians at the central hospital at Salem with which toad vise in the matter of preparation of the plans. These men have through their years of experience and repeat ed visits to the many Institutions of other states gathered Information which has been Invaluable to the board and the state architect. In planning this Institution much thought has been given to the future and the plans provide for an Insti tution above twice the size of the one now In course of construction. Ow ing to the fact that most of our state Institutions were founded when the state was-'young and without any par ticular thought being giyen to the growth of the state and the needs of the future, the buildings afford neith er convenience or attractiveness. These older institutions are a series of units representing the peculiar ideas of different superintendents and architects. The result is that many of them are not only unsightly but unsafe, insanitary, inconvenient and for these reasons far more costly of operation than they should be. With this institution, however. It is different. Thought, and attention have been given to the growth of the state and the needs of the future with the result that a magnificent struc ture has been planned", one part of which is being constructed at this .. time. La en unit, however, Is com plete in itself and as constructed will go to make up a harmonious whole. It Is my wish to see this farm stock ed with nothing but pure breds. The dairy herd should be the finest. In other words it should be conducted 3s though it was an agricultural or experiment farm so that while pro ducing crops for the use and benefit of the institution its fields and or chards and well bred stock and mod el dairy and hog barns and poultry yards will prove a source of both pleasure and profit to visitors from out over the state. These grounds will soon take on a different appearance. The rough and broken surface along the front of the site with its crop - of tumble weeds will be transformed into beautiful lawns and dotted with attractive srubbery. The old fences and build ings will be removed and replaced with new where needed. Brush lands will be cleared and washed lands re- WHS a mouei insuiUUIOIl una LUfiaucr with the grounds when improved It will be the beauty spot of eastern Ore gon. In our anxiety for the beautiful, however, we shou'd not overlook the poor unfortunates who will occupy the several wards in this institution. We should remember that they are help less, irresponsible creatures and ob jects of pity and sympathy. They are wholly within the power and un der the control of the superintendent. If the superintendent Is lacking in honesty or ability or Inadequately pro vided with funds for maintenance, the inmates of the institution must and will suffer. It is up to you to render the board every assistance in seeing that that institution when equipped is properly officered nnd conducted. It Is my wish that the staff of physi cians and employes as far as is con sistent with the needs of the institu tion be eastern Oregon people that it may be made as near as possible a distinctly eastern Oregon institution. There is one serious shortcoming, however which will be brought home t'c. you as time goes on and that Is the need of more farm land for the use of the Institution. There is need ed at least another section of first cUiss land and the sooner we go after I it the better. This should be provid ed for at the session of tho legisla ture. If this is not done and the gar den stuffs purchased In open market ll will work a hardship upon the in stitution for the reason that its per capita maintenance cost will always be higher than the other institution and it is not likely that It will be al lowed a greater sum by the legisla ture. A Scmi-IH'ul Institution. Touching upon the local inspect of the branch asylum the governor de clared that It will be a local Institu tion in that It will be creditable to the community if It Is well conducted and on the other hand will embarass the community should there be scan del in connection with Its manage ment. The Eastern Oregon hospital will be but one unit In the whole struc ture comprising our state govern ment. Upon the management of these different units depends the standard of our stnt government. The man agement of these Institutions reflects largely the standard of our citizen ship because a stream can vise no higher than its source. In order that these different Institutions may be properly managed and conducted and do their part towards making up a perfect system of state government it is necessary that we should not only Interest ourselves in the affairs of these Institutions but we should nt all times show a desire to raise our standard of citizenship in order that our citizens will dally become better equipped to respond not only to the greater needs of these Institutions, but also to the greater needs of each and every department of our state government." The comparison of this magnificent institution admirably equipped wth all modern conveniences for the aid and comfort of the unfortunates who will occupy Its different wards with that of a number of our other state Institutions with their lrregulnr, poor ly located, unsanitary. Inconveniently constructed buldings, furnishes an object lesson In the building of char acter and the shaping of our live?. Man Is largely the architect of his own destiny and If we could only see our way clear to plan for the future as th earchltect has planned this great A SEnipEnnsEtDt f Mow Ipiriii Moras Justin They come in white buck, tan, suede and patent colt, straps or button at . . $3.50 Vici Kid button Oxfords, Goodyear welt, patent tip at .......... . $2.95 Every Pair Extra Good Value Wohlenbsrg yep f.

Colonel J. H. Raley,- representing Mayor W. F. Matlock, followed the governor to the speakers', stand and expressed something of the feeling of the city which he represents upon the occasion of today. Secretary Olcott spoke of the Institution to be from a business stanapoini, leiung wnai it meant in dollars and cents, of its completeness of equipment and of the capacity it will have. ' Treasurer Kay's Address. In the address bv State Treasurer T. B. Kay that official dwelt upon the history of the Eastern Oregon hds pitai and particularly upon the work of the board in working out and ad opting plans for the institution. The Eastern Oregon Hospital is not being built merely for the present but with a view to the future needs of the institution, he said. The plans for the administration building, the heating plant, kitchen, etc., are such that the institution may be greatly enlarged without waste or change of the general arrangement and without spoiling the symmetry of the group. It will be possib'.e to add two wings on each fide of the structure that is now being erected and thereby in crease the capacity of the Institution to 1200 patients. At first about 500 patients will be sent here. Much credit for the fact that the Eastern Oregon hospital is being built along modern lines was given by Mr. Kay to R. E. L. Steiner, superintend ent of the asylum a 6alem. By rea son of his experience in that work Mr. Steiner was frequently consulted by the board and his ideas as to what should be done were often adopted. ' In the course of his tjalk the state treasurer pointed out that it would have been physically Impossible to erect the branch asylum on the hill ground proposed for a building site when the grounds were first purchas ed by the old administration. He also explained that it required much time to work out the plans for the branch asylum and incidentally explained the policy of .the board in maintaining a state architect. That office has work ed the saving of a large amount of money for the state already. Other addresses were made by It. E L. Steiner, superintendent of the state asylum, and by President J. F. Robinson of the Pendleton Commer cial association, while at intervals during the program the band render ed its selections. Reception and Ranee Tonljrlit. Tonight, the gala day for Pendle ton will be concluded with a public reception tendered to the visiting of ficials by the ladies of the city head ed by the wife of the mayor. The af fair will be held In the Eagle-Woodman hall and everyone Is Invited to attend and participate in the festivi ties. An orchestra will be present and those wishing may enjoy them selves with (lancing. NEW ENEMY OF TROUT IS FOUND A new enemy to the trout has been discovered in southern Oregon, ac cording to a letter just received by C. K .Cranston, chairman of the state f:sh and game commission, from L. Alva, Lewis, district warden of Ash land. This enemy la a parasite de scribed by Deputy Lewis as "a long slender worm, perhaps from four to Bix inches long and about the diameter of a large sewing needle," and pink ish white in color. According to the letter, the worm attacks the trout by getting under the skin and Is usually found coiled. Its presence is easily detected by the lump on the fish. Deputy Lewis writes that the only streams In which he has discovered ffsh affected by this parasite are two tributaries of the Silvies river which empties into Harney Lake and states that only in warm weather have such fish been found. He is of the belief that the parasite originated in the shallow water of the lake or In the marsh lands adjoining .and thinks some measure should be taken to ex terminate it. FOR LESS MONEY Iowa Flooded. Keokuk, la., March 26. The sur rounding country is flooded as a re sult of the forming of a seven mile gorge within a few hours. The gov ernment wing dam at Gregory, Mo., is In danger of going out at any mo ment. Ice banks are thirty feet high, in the Des Moines river. As far north as Gregory, the railroad tracks are covered by three feet of water and there is no traffic here. 30,000 TEXTILE WORKERS THROWX OUT OF WORK Lowell, Mass., March 26. More than 30,000 textile millworkers were thrown out of employment here when the owners of every mill, except the Lawrence company's plant, announc ed a closedown. The action follows a strike of operatives at Hamilton, Mass., in the Bott and Prescott mills. COLONISTS ARRIVING BY THE THOUSANDS FORT GEORGE COUNTRY IX CENTRAL BRITISH COLOM BIA THE GOAL OF IIOMESEEKERS. Owing to Ever Increasing Demand ; for Tills Fertile Farm Land, Prices .. Are Expected to Soon Soar. Buying lands in the fertile valleys--of Central British Columbia, near Fort George, is not speculation. The Grand Trunk Pacific, Canada's great transcontinental railway, has just built into this territory and . opened to settlement what is termed by all who have thoroughly famll--Iarized themselves with the mild cli--mate, rich soil and beautiful scon--ery, as "The Paradise of the Pa cific." British Columbia is an undevelop ed region affording great opportun ities to those who get in on the "ground floor." As evidence of his great confidence in tlie British Columbia country, the Duke of Sutherland bought 10,000 acres of these lands in London dur ing the year 1910. Later, he came out with a party of titled gentlemen nnd purchased 13,000 additional acres. This entire acreage is being cut up Into 40 acre farms and will be colonized by the Duke of Sutherland, working In conjunction with tho North Coast Land Co. The farms will be cleared, fenced, barn erected and first crop put In. The North Coast Land Co. will lo cate about 5,000 Scotchmen this spring on these lands which are about 20 miles S. E. of Fort George, on the Frazer river at a place called White's Landing. This company has also established a large German set tlement about 5 miles S. E. of Fort George, many sections of land hav ing been soiu to tne muer. Where the North Coat Land Co. can sell six or more sections to any one colony wishing to locate in the Fort Georse country, they will as sure the building of needed roads through the Provincial government; will deed enough land for school house, church and cemetery; will pay for one half of construction of school house and church and help the set tlers In every way possible. Two years ago there were only 200 people in Fort George; at present there are over 2,000 and at the end of this year we can reasonably ex pect a population of over 10,000. Work Is plentiful here. Land of all kinds has doubled in price, in the last two years. What will It do in two moro years when the railroads are all completed, when the land Is well forward In development and homeseekers who will be arriving by the thousands from tnls on commence to reap their returns.
