possible, a corporation or financing

business men of the community, for
the purpose of buying up these avail
able lands, or obtaining options up
on thein, under terms that will per
mit the settler to make good.
"In regard to preparing for the
reception of the settlers when they
arrive In Oregon,' said Secretary
Quale, "Eugene business men have
already perfected a tentative organi
zation, the purpose of which is to
buy or obtain options on lands avail
able for the settler, and re-sell these
lands on easy terms and long-time
payments. The Crook county cham

ed and Is already at work prepar

county chamber of commerce has a
committee working on plans for tak
ing care of settlers when they arrive
in Baker.
"These communities are to be
commended for the promptness with
which they are meeting the situation
and I am certain that all other com
munities will do their share. The
state chamber can only bring the
settlers to Oregon. It is up to the
Individual districts to take care of
them when they arrive and see that
ther are located where they can
make good."
Many applications for admission
to the special homeseekers party are
already on file from middle western

WASHINGTON, May 21. FriendB
ot Alaska are trying to have congress
create a commission which will have
charge of all public land utilities and
IroucUlBes In the territory. This com
mission Is not to Interfere in any
way with tho administrative govern
ment as at present constituted, but to
deal entirely with the development of
the natural resources . of Alaska.
ThoBe who promise this system de
clare that the present attitude ot the
government has decreased the popu
lation of Alaska and has to a certain
extent paralyzed the industries of the
territory.
Those who are urging this commis
sion call attention to the census bu
reau's summary of Alaska mining
operations, and also to the fact 'hat
it requires more money now to em-
gage in mining than it did ten years
ago; that there are fewer people em
ployed, and that the products devel
oped ln the year 1D19 were less than
they were ten years ago. The census
bureau in commenting on the figures
shown below says:
Placer Mining Drops.
"These changes -reflect the well-
known decreas ln bonanza placer
mining and the development on
large scale of lode mining in the ter-
rittory during the decade.
The bill for the Alaskan conirat
slon is now being consldored by the
house committee on territories, and a
number of prominent men in Alaska
are taking much interest in the prop
osition.
. Pulp Wood Rots.
J. L. McPherson, an engineer, be
lieves that the Alaska timber avallb
ble for pulp wood would furnish prac
tically two-thirds of all the putp an)
paper needed ln the United States. In
his testimony before the commit leu,
he said that conditions in Alaska have
prevented the development of this In
dustry, and that Instead of keeping
Americnn labor and capital employed
in Alaskan forests, it had been di
verted to Canada and British Colum
bia timber, while the Alaska pulp
wood was allowed to rot.
"The present need Is a centralized
and localized management of the for
ests by a resident authority," Me-
Pherson declared. "This authority
hould be empowered to encourage
he establishment of the pulp woon
Industry by reasonable regulations.
In strikin gcontrast to tne devel
opment of this industry In Alaska.
McPherson producec statistics indi
cating that the paper pulp manufac
ture of British Columbia, which waj
started in 1912. is now the Industry
of second Importance in the province.
His figures showed that Urlllsn Co
lumbia ln M18 sold more than $10,-
000,000 worth of paper to Americnn
newspapers, and that tne capital ior
the development of the industry came
mostly from American sources, i ne
importation of pulp wood in 1919 was
valued at an exress or idb.uw.wuu.
nd more than two-thirds of the
Imports came from Canada. He de-J
clared the Ict is mat uie uiuieu
Slates has made it impossible to de
velop a pulp wood industry in Alaska
and forced American capital to go to
Canada, and has at the same utile
made the nation dependent upon other
countries' for the equivalent of two-
thirds of the news print used oy
American newspapers.
Salman Industry Hit.
While the government has failed to
use the timber resources of Alaska.
thereby contributing to its destruc
tion bv dry-rot. it has allowed an
other essential resource to oecome

overdevelopment. McPherson yielded
figures showing that the salmon fish
eries of Alaska have produced mor
than $300,000,000. and that the supply
6f this valuable food Is rapidly be
mmlm exhausted because of the lack
of a law to protect the industry.
McPherson said that salmon, once
ihr nnor man's fond In Scotlend and
on the eastern shore of the United
Rising soon after 1 o'clock this
morning Miss Mary Hudson, of Elk
ton, prepared a momlng meal, donned
her best clothes, and at 4 o'clock left
over a rough road for Roseburg, and
within a few minutes after her ar
rival mounted the platform at the!
Methodist church and apparently
without an effort or without the least
signs of fatigue, delivered an excep
tionally long declamation on the sub
ject, "Abraham Lincoln,', thereby
winning for herself and her school
the first prize in the county declama
tion contest for girls. Miss Hudson
was not graded for her pluck and
spirit, or her score would doubtless
have been much better, tor it was no
small task for a young girl from the
grade school to put forth the effort
that she was required to do to reach
the city and take part in as cool and
collected manner as she did. Her dec
lamation was long and difficult but
it was perfectly memorized and de
livered with the sanfrold of the ex
perienced and polished orator.
However, she was not without op
position, for Miss Elsie Foudray of
Yoncalla. who won the second prize.
was only two points behind, with her
declamation on the "Character of
Francis E. Wlllard." Miss Ruth Col
lins of the Benson school ln Rose
burg, won third place with her reci
tation, "O Captain! My Captain!"
Roseburg won first prize in the
boys' contest, David K. Dunham of tho
Benson school winning the honors
with "Lincoln's Gettysburg Address."
Joe Wilson of' Yoncalla was second
with a modern oration, Lloyd George's
address "Commending America." El
don Moxlev won third place with Lin
coln's "Gettysburg Address."
In tho hleh school contest Zola
Foudray of Yoncalla won first place.
Virginia Prlaulx of Roseburg, second.
and Zelma Henderson, Sutherlln,
ffilnA fnv , waf. nr.ll-
two contestants, Paul Truebloou of
Roseburg, who won first place and
Ted Francis of Yoncalla, second.
All of these declamation contests
were well attended by children of
the various schools, by parents and
others Interested. Each of tho stu
dents entered received great applause
from their supporting factions and the
rendition of each selection was met
with hearty approval.
In the afternoon a big crowd gath
ered at Bellows' park for the track
and field meet. Over ono hundred
boys and girls entered ln the event
scheduled for ;he afternoon and from
early indications It was apparent that
some excellent athletic high school
records are to be set.
One of the big attractions was the
Camas Valley drill team which put
on an Indian club drill, a demonstra
tion of physical training, march steps
and olher drills, yells, soncs. etc. The
pupils have been well trained under

and the students received hearty ap

The field presented a' very active

divided into sections and different

of places simultaneously. The grand
