Indicative of the; "Bnan'cial condi

several Union county'-' children are
housed, la the twenty-seventh annual
report to the members of the Twenty-
eventh regular, sesalon of the legls-
latlve assembly of the state ot Ore
gon, by the trustees. This report
ays: . ,
t Gentlemen: The board of trustees
'ot the Boys' and Girls' Aid society of
Oregon,' through , Its . president and
secretary, bans herewith to tender Ha
report for the last biennial period.
Said report has been approved by the
board at a special meeting called to
conslderjtbe same. .-, .
. In, view' of the Jact that the state of
Oregon has appropriated for many
years last past a certain amount of
money to be used, toward the prose
cution of Khe work' "of, this society
among dependent children' of the
state, the board believes Its necess
ary to furnish each "member ot the
legislative assembly with a report of
the work done by the society and a
financial atatemeat showing the re
ceip's and disbursements .from all
mroM. .' it 1 1
The appropriation made to the Boys'
and Girls' Aid society of Oregon -bns
been $10,000.00 fo the biennial period
of $!i000.00 por year. .This amount
has been added to money obtained
from other sources" t enable the so
ciety to rare for dependent children
of the state la an up-to-date manner.
It will further be remembered that
this society Is a child-placing Institu
tion; It Is Its endoavor .to receive Into
Its care only children who, through
death or misfortune, have ho one to
care for them and are committed to
the Boys' and Girls' Aid society of
Oregon for the purpose of- .being
placed In a family home for ' legal
adoption or to be' schooled, clothed,
cared for under be surveillance of
the society, hence, the, society re
ceives children from every county In
the state without question, provided
tney are property cwuumiou -. uuci .
the juvenile Sourt act and that they;
are sound In mind, and body. Tem-.
oorary children It will be necessary,
to eliminate from the receiving home
as so many children for placement
are regularly being 'committed that
our space will not allow us to receive
the above class, but the society will
receive and care for. any homeless
child temporarily for a limited time
tq enable Ks friends to provide it
with a permanent home. , '
We have directed our superintend
ent to prepare a detailed statement
which will appear In this report
showing cash received and expend
ed; the cost of maltrtalqence at the
receiving home and the cost of child
placing, or what Is better known as
field work; also there will be furn
ished the name of every child receiv
ed Into our home for the last bien
nial nerlod. There will be found ln
this list nine hundred and forty-nine
mil ithpan children are from;
twenty-six different counties of our
state. " '
The report of our superintendent
will also show that the malntalnence
of the children at the receiving home
for the biennial period cost $15,974.62
That the average number of children
on . hand per day at the receiving
borne was 68. and employees 6. a to
tal of 74."
The average cost of malnta'reno
per head per month was about $!.00t
that there was expended during the
last biennial period for Beld work
$11,317.75. This Includes the expense
of the office, placing the visiting
children out In family homes, and In
vestigating cases of abuse and neg
lect reported (not In connection with
our wards). TIV number of children
under our direct care In the state of
Oregon being 480 makes the average
per
cost ot looking after each child
year $11.80. ' -. t
We believe that the foregoing Is an
excellent showing both for'Woik and
economy. We believe. It I the policy
of our superintendent never to refuse
a case when properly committed. We
believe that if this Institution belong
ed to the state that the cost of Its
malntalnence- would b a double, and
all would have to be paid by the tax
payers of the state. As It now stands,
an appropriation of $10,000.00 is all
we ask for the state's abare ot caring
for Its many dependents. We know
from experience that we can get
along with this amount, and do net
Intend at any tlm In the future to
ask the state for m ore for the reason
that we believe' that as our work
grows we shall receive many mor?
bequests and property that we now
own will be very much Increased In
valuation. As It Is we are now ex
pending nearly two-thirds more than
the state 'appropriates, and such ex
penditures are all made under the di
rection and oversight of the board
The board of trustees meets once
every month, and the bills are scrut
inized and ordered paid by the ex
ecutive committee after being check
ed by the clerk and approved by the
superintendent.
The placing of children Is a work
that, should be well governed, and
no person or '..Institution should be
allowed to place children In family
homes unless they can be frequently
visited after placement. In many
cases we feel It would be worse than
leaving the children In their former j
surroundings. The placing out of
children In the state should be under
one Institution, and that institution (
should be fitted for the work regard
lct of any necessary expense.
Wherefore, the board of trustees of
the Boys' and Olrls' Aid society of
Oregon prays this honorable body to
appropriate the sum of $10,000.00 as
heretofore toward the prosecution of
its work In the state of Oregon
anion i! dependent children.
In conclusion this board fuels that
the management of Its work Is in the,
hands of persons with wide experl-
ence. and therefore welcomes the In
spection and advice of any committee
representing the state' that this hon
orable assembly may see fit to ap
point. '
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE BOYS' AND GIRLS' AID
SOCIETY OF ORBOON.
By F. E. Beach. Sec,
' Attest: Win. B. Gilbert, Pres
Mining Legislation.
, (Baker Democrat..
E. G. Warner, writing from South
ern Oregon, urges legislation In min
ing matters for which Thomas C.
Burke, president 'of the Oregon Mln
Ins Congress, has long been laboring
and which Is furthered by an organ
ization backed by the united mining
Interests of the state could not help
but" result In ultimate success. Mr.
Warner who in a communication In
a Josephine paper, mentions not ex
actly sarcastically, but n reality It
amounts to that, the measly $1000 ap'
proprlated .annually for the state
bureau of mines. ' It might be men
tioned In this connection that, some
of the funds provided by commercial
being one to donate, for a mining bu
reau In Eastern Oregon was turned
over to Secretary Mahone and no ac
tion yet produced as the re3ult of
his activities If he has-m;ide tn ef
fort In this direction.
One of the muln points made by
the writer , and one thing that the
bureau of mines in any community
would be' the establishment of a
means for special training along the
line of the mining industyr, which
in the' age of specialists Is almost
as necessary in raining as In any oth
er Industry. Speaking of the small
appropriation he says In part:.
"Take the precious metal mining
and start at the southern line of the
state and every few miles you will
find evidence of mineralization, also
building stone, cement and yad ma
terial even to Its northern border
which needs investigation.-
"At I this late day, this state has
established a mining bureau with
$1000 appropriation when It needs
$25,000 to $30,000 per year in aid
ot the investigations for technical in
formation and new geological sur
veys to realize the extent and mag
nitude of our mining resources am"
what, this Industry means to thi
growth of this state.
"This sum Is small compared with
other states( near us which may not
have any more precious metals and
valuable material than , we have'
Washington appropriates $28,750.
California $40,000, Wisconsin $37,-
500 annually."
It is true that through the lncfll-
ciency of one officer of the state
mining congress, little has been ac-.
compllshed In Oregon the past year.'
However, there Is no reason for the'
representatives of the Industry to
cease their effort, and Judge Burke
Is optimistic In this line, that when
the affairs of the state organization
mining men can be counted on to
are adjusted that the Eastern Oregon
back and further any movement that
may be Inaugurated to bring about
legislation fair to the mining indus
try, and which Is much needed by
that Industry for proper expansion
and development.

No case of contagious blood poison Is
ever cured until the last particle ot the
virus has been removed from the circula
tion. The least taint left In the blood
will, sooner or Inter, cause a fre.h out
break of the trouble, with all its hideous
and destructive symptoms of ulcerated
mouth and throat, copper colored
rplotches, falling hair, Korea and ulcers,
etc. No other modiune so surely cures
contagious blood polsnn as S. 8. S. It
goes down Into the blood and steadily
end surely drives out every particle of
the infection. It absolutely and perfectly
ruiifles the blood, and leaves this vital
fluid as fresh, rich and healthy as it was
before the destructive virus of contagious
blood poison entered the circulation.
6. 8. S. quickly takes effort on the blood,
nnd gradually the symptoms disappear,
the health Is Improved, the skin cleared
t-f all spots, sores and other blemishes,
the hair stops coming- out, the mouth and
throat heal and when S. S. S. has
cleansed the system of the poison no
trace of the disease is left. 8. S. 3.
cures contagious blood poison because It
I the greatest of all blood purifiers,
t- ted and proven In hundreds and hun
tlrels of cases all over the country.
