"I also visited my brother, v,!io is
retired and living ut the Beverly Hills
Hotel, Los Angeles,
"Los Angeles is a wonderful city
and now has more population than
San Francisco; it is the largest city
on the Pacific Coast. I recalled a
trip thut I made by stage in 18(18
from Sun Jose to San Diego when
there were no railroads. Los Ange
les was then not over 5000 in popula
tion, mostly. Mexicans. There were
not more than 25 to 50. families of
white people. The old town in Los
Angeles has vanished, but a part of
the old Mexican town of San Diego
is still remaining, and at Ramona's
wedding place there is preserved In
dian relics and paintings and a fine
exhibit of curios.
"I crossed ,the Mexican line to Ti
Juane, a Mexican city-200 years old,
with no marks of progress. There is
an old Mexican fort there which an
American company could demolish in
twenty minutes. I attended the races
there and saw some very fine horses.
There was a bull fight, but I did not
to to see it, having seen one before.
"At Pasadena 1 witnessed the Rose
Carnivaland it was a very interesting
and enjoyable sight. I saw Ml blue
rose for the first time in my life, J
also attended the football game and
saw the Oregon boys defeat Pennsyl
vania. I dont go in for football as
a rule, but it was a part of the car
nival program, and it was a fine op
portunity to study mankind en masse.
So was the carnival. It was estimated
that there were at least 200,000 peo
ple at Pasadena during the carnival.
"I also visited Luther Burbank's
luboratory at Santa Rosa, and saw his
spineless cactus, his California Red.
which' is a cross between the orange
and the apple, a sour thing of no com
mercial value, and his Burbank potato,
We raise just as good and better po
tatoes in the Grande Ronde valley.
"My main purpose in going was to
sec my old friends and to take a va
cation, and I had a very enjoyable
three weeks' trip.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF MOON"
(Continued From Page One.)
phere around the moon that could re
fract the sun's rays and produce a
twilight effect, so it is interesting to
know that this faint light which shows
the moon in the dark shadow of the
earth is due to the rays of the sun
refracted around the earth by the
earth's own atmosphere. This is the
same principle which allows us o read
after sunset the refraction of the
sun's rays by the atmosphere. vjj
If it is clear we can enjoy a finq
illustration of these facts for several
hours, for the moon will not begin Jo
emerge from the shadow till nearly "
a. m., and will not wholly leave it ti'l
after 3 a.m.

New Railroad Bills.
Washington, Jan. 6. (Sprcial)
Following a conference with the presi
dent yesterday, Chairman Adnmson of
the house Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, said that within three days he
vould introduce railroad legislation
bills in the house designed to carry
out the president's recommendations
to congress with one exception.
Instead of the co-called "compulsory
arbitration bill," advocated by Presi
dent Wilson, Chairman Adamson will
frame a measure making it illegal for
a railroad employe to leave hiH job on
recount of a dispute within GO days
cf its occurrence.
The bill would apply with equal
force to the railroads, forbidding
them to discharge any men herausc of
a dispute within 00 days of its occurrence.

State Aid Sought.
Portland, Jan. (i. (Special) Com
plete and radical changes must be
rrnde. in legislation and methods of
financing projects before irrigation
in Oregon becomes a success. Tho
work is too stupendous for individual
undertaking, and must have not only
more hearty co-operation on the part
ci the residents of the state, but fi
nancial support from both the state
iiml National governments. A way
must be found to encourage the set
tler and aid him in his efforts to be
come a successful farmer and pro
ducer. Such was the dominant note ex
pressed by speakers at the sessions of
the Oregon Irrigation Congress yesterday.

Everyone who has . lived , within
sound of tho Bells of Westminster is
familiar with the verse given above.
I The origin of the carillon has' never
i been positively established. Some
writers accredit it to a Mr. Crouch,
I who was a pupil of Dr. Randall,
I Regius Professor of Music. This, how
ever, is disputed by other writers who
accredit it to Dr. Randall's conception
of the idea taken from a movement v
the fifth bar of the opening of Haen
dd's Symphony, "I know that my Re
deemer livoth," The Chimes were first
l'Ued to the Clock of University
church, St. Mary a the Great, in Cam
b: idge, but were not copied until they
were reproduced on a very large scale
m the Victoria Clock Tower of the
Houses of Parliament.
As a home institution serving the
people of this locality enjoying your
fcvod will and business favors, w-i have
in the past endeavored to show our ap-
preciation by presenting our patrons
I with calendars and novelties and oth-
trwise recognizing your co-operation
n making this a serviceable and suc-
cessful banking house,
i
i Years of prosperous banking have
bten made possible only by your sup
port. We wanted to show our appre
ciation in a substantial way and have
therefore purchased of the manufac
turers, the McClintock-Loomis Com
pany of Minneapolis, Minnesota, in
cluding the exclusive rights for this
city, a large handsome clock combined
with a set of soft and most beautiful
.chimes.
At the quarter, half and three-quarter
hour, these Chimes will ring out in
various musical combinations; at quar
ter past the hour, four strokes West
minster, at half past the hour, eight
htrokes Reveille; at three-quarters
past the hour, twelve strokes Cathe
dral peal; and on tho hour, sixteen
strokes Westminster, followed by tho
striking of the full hour, in a clear
vibrant tone.
May we hope that the Chimes will
mean something to all of our people
that they will have a message for tho
youngster on his way to school; n
thought for tho business man who hus
tles through his day; a solace for the
old.
Every day of the week the chimes
will be sounding their message-tho
ncte of warning spoken in time; the
chime of rejoicing; the lament in tim
cf sorrow. This chime will be all
things to nil men for it is going to be
Img not to us alone, but to men and
wemen and children of our community.
