Splendid Program of Addresses
Secured for Tomorrow's
Exercises .
The big piciiio to be given Satur
day by Sandy Orange, V. of H. at

the attendance will undoubtedly be
very large. The moraine will be de

Grant B. Dimiok, County .lii' ge of
Clackamas county; Colonel E. lioffer,
editor of the Capital Journal, of Sa
lem, and H. Henry Wemiue, president
ot the Portland Automobile (Jlub. It
is altogether likely that Ju'ige Dim-ick,-who
is a candidate for the repub
lican nomination fur governor, will
devote a portion of his speech to the
direct primary lawn and the assembly
question, and his remarks on this
inuch-disuussed proposition, are
awaited with considerable Interest.
Mr. VVemme is the man who once had
an idea that the eastern section of
Clackams couutv, including Sandy,
should bo annexed to Multnomah
county, in order that tho Mount Hood
road would be improved for the be
nefit of automobiles. Lately, how
over, Mr. VVeuuuH has fostered propo
sition to raise a publio subscription

over to the Clackamas county court
and expended on the road leading to
Mount Hood.

Yakutat Bay Region
An elaborate and important contri
bution to the science of glao ology
just published by the United States
Geological Survey as Professional
Paper 64, is entitled "The Yakutat
Bay Region, Alaska," and "is made
up of two parts "physiography and
glacial geology," by Ralph S. Tarr,
of Cornell University, aud "areal
geology," by Professor Tarr and
Bert S. Butler. It represents the re
sults of two seasou's detailed investi
gations cf glacial phenomena and will
be of great interest to all students,
in school or out, of the fascinating
problems counocted with the action
of glaciers.
Yakutat Bay lies at the base of the
St. Elias Range, about 80 miles south
east of Mount St. Elias, where the in
teruatioii l , b un.lary strikes due
north. It is tiie only haibor on the
800-miln si retch of oompaiatively
straight co-sc line I otwteu Cross
Sound, op,.osit ) Juneau, and Control
ler Bay.
Along thisioast tho Fairwenthor
and St. Elias mountains rise abrupty
to great altitudes. At their foot,
bordering the sea, is a lowland fringe
or foreland of glacial debris. Nu
merous glaciers descend to the Yaku
tat Bay foreland; the largest glacier
on the Ameiicun mainland, the Mal
aspina, a broad Ice plateau covering
an area as large as that ot Rhode
Island, lying northwest ofjthe bay.
Hubbard Glacier, at the northern
most point of the bay, Ja one of the
finest examples of tidal glacier on the
continent. Tho Yakntat Bay illicit
lias roughly the shape of a bant arm,
with the shoulder at the ocean and
the elbow at the foot of Hubbard Gla
oier. The outer portion is called
Yakutat Bay, the monutain-wallod
stretch just south of the elbow Disen
chantment Bay, and tiie forearm por
tion Russell Fiord. Among the high
peaks visible from the bay areMouuts
Hubbard (10,400 feet), Vauoouver
(15,611 feet), aud Cook (41,700 foot).
JJI. N. Riovers, the well diggor,
strnck a piece of rock while digging a
woll near Clackamas Heights the
other day which resembles a duck.
He exhibited the stony momber of the
aquatio in be in the store windows.
The Best Plaster
A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain's Liniment and bound
on to the affeuted parts is superior to
auy plaster. When troublod with a
lame back or paius in the side of the
chest give it a trial and you are cer
tain to bo more than pleased with the
prompt reliof which it affords.
This liniment also relieves rheumatic
pains and is certain to please anyone
suffering from that disease. Sold by

ARCTIC PEOPLE,
Stefansson Hears of Persons
Who Are Not Eskimos.
THEIR HAIR IS NOT BLACK.
Hint That Mystery of Sir John Frank
tin's Missing Men or of a Vanished
Icelandic Colony May Be Solved III
Effects or Civilization Were Found
on All Sides.
A letter from V. Stefansson, the arc
tic explorer, received the other day hv
a friend who lives in riensantville.
N. y., .hints at a possible unraveling
cither of the inystoxy which fur more
than sixty years has enveloped the
fate of Sir John Franklin's two shlii'
companies -or of the greater mystery
concerning colonies of Icelanders who
long ago migrated to Greenland and
then disappeared.
Stefansson's letter, dated "Burrow,
Alaska, Feb. 12," and postmarked
"Nome, Alaska, April 5," In transit,
says:
"Here I am, further west than you
probably expected me to go In winter.
This Is a whaling station, the most
northerly one In America, the most
easterly one of those whose egress Is
by the Pacific 'ocean. There Is here
also the most northerly postofflce uu
dor American control, and it has two
outgoing reindeer malls In winter, Nov.
1 and Fob. 15, as well as a ship mall
In July or August. I am here to write
letters and reports to the museum.
"My winter camp Is, as planned, on
the lower Colville river. I left It about
the time the sun went away and have
since wandered as far west as Wnln
wrlght Inlet, about a hundred miles
southwest of Tolnt Barrow and 300
from our winter camp, stopping at
every Eskimo settlement, nu unpleas
ant thing in many cases, for the hab
its and diseases of civilization are ev
erywhere evident, unhealthy people
crowded Into unventlluted and uncom
fortable houses, a complete contrast to
what It was twenty years ago here, I
am told, nnd to what it still is to the
eastward, where every house, no mat
ter how crowded, Is always warm and
well ventilated.
"At Tolnt Barrow and west of there
00 per cent of the people have aban
doned tho warm, semi-excavated house
with Its door In the floor, the advan
tages of which lire well known to you,
for fi!:iry overground structures Imi
tating white men's houses. The walls
of these are so thin that even were
they air tight, as they often are (very
nearly), enough cold comes iu by con
duction through the hoards to form
hoarfrost here and there and Ice In
the corners nnd under the beds. In
stead of a door and n ventilating chim
ney always open, these houses have
no ventilator, the door Is hastily closed
whenever opened, aud every crack Is
filled with a rag, tallow or chewing
gum.
"A doctor who has been at Barrow
seven years, since IS'JO (he has had
vacations) tells me that the death rate
from tuberculosis has more than
doubled In ten years, the period of the
chang'i (under missionary and other
influences) from the 'insanitary, filthy'
native houses to the 'tidy, modern'
damp cockleshells that are murdering
the people.
"This has been a digression. , It
would take many pages of print to
show up thoroughly the effects of civ
ilization at Tolut Barrow and west
of It.
"In three or four days I Bhnll start
east for Colyllle aud spend a month
or , two there nt least. Many of the
people there had never seen a white
man when wo arrived, but they have
associated for many years with Es
kimos who are Christians, etc., and
tlieir influence has been marked.
They are therefore from my point of
view sophisticated.
"On October Inst wc divided our par
ty In two sections. Dr. Anderson, with
on Eskimo family, went Into the moun
tains south of Barter island, about
seventy-five miles southeast from Flnx
mau Island and 125 from my camp.
My party consisted of a man, wife,
baby and one man besides. Dr. An
derson was to try to make a living on
mountain sheep, river fish and ptarmi
gan. Our hope was deer, caribou, of
which we got fifteen, not nearly
enough, though more than nny Eskimo
hunter of the Colville country.
"As heretofore, the plan is to spend
next winter a good nay to the east
ward, 500 or CU0 miles as one travels
It east of the Colville near the mouth
of the Coppermine river or on JMetorla
Land. Some Eskimos who saw some
of these people lust year tell me that
In a party of twenty they saw one
middle aged man nnd one woman of
about eighteen who had hair as light
as mine Is and several whose hair was
not blnck. Now, you know' a pure
blooded Eskimo is us black haired and
stiff haired as any Japanese. With the
disappearance of Franklin's two ships'
companies in Hint neighborhood and
with the lost -Icelandic colonies of
Greenland In mind, 'the problem has
its Interesting features.' "
The letter closes with memoranda
concerning articles Stefansson has pre
pared for publication, which are now
on their way.
New Holiday Planned.
The Belleville (N. J ) bonrd of trada
has Inaugurated n movement to set
apart a day in August of each year to
be known as "bii'iess men's day,"
when all business places that lose on
legal holidays will be expected to sus
pend business. John II. Eastwood,
prefldont or the board, has named a
committee to plan for the observance
of the day.

LOOKING
BACKWARD
The Progress of the Grange From
Insignificant Beginnings.
An Occasional Glance Over the Past
Achievements of the Grange Re-enforces
Our Pride In Whr.t It Ha$
Done For the Farmers of the Nation
The following paper was read, by
Mrs. M. L. Graham before a grauge Iu
Washington county, O., in commemo
ration of the fortieth anniversary of
the founding of the Order.
A few of us here today can look
back to the time of the civil war, when
from every state there went out to
battle young and middle aged men,
Husbands, fathers, sons, rushed for
ward to protect or secure their. rights.
In time the struggle ended and all
quietly resumed civilian life. Iu every
vocation the want of man's labor was
apparent, and In none was there more
destitution than In that of farming.
The unused plowshare and the prun
ing hook were eaten by rust, nnd the
two, three or four years of absence
had given to fields a ragged appear
ance, to fences and buildings a dilap
idated, forsaken look. Farms and
farming were at a discount.
But iu the northwest, where settle
ments were miles apart aud conven
iences and comforts few, there lived
a thoughtful, energetic, big hearted
farmer, full of faith, hope, charity and
fidelity toward his Creator and his fel
low men. Eventually he was employed
by the United States bureau of agri
culture to gather crop statistics. Ills
extensive travel and close observation
gave him opportunity to reckon the
immense loss the farmer and horticul
turist sustained because of high rates
and scarcity of transportation facll-'
ities. Tons of delicious fruit lay rot
ting under California's sun, while the
farmers' families of other states were
vainly longing for Just stieh fruits. In
other localities granaries were over
flowing with wheat and em u. valueless
for want of a market, yet the eastern
and southern states were suffering for
a sullicieucy of these cereals.
This Minnesota farmer believed that
something nilht be dune to overcome
this and tlier great disadvantages
under which furmers and fruit grow
ers were laboring, provided the bureau
f agriculture could be so interested as
to demand a voice in the senate and
then give its influence to the upbuild
ing of agriculture. The bureau made
the demand, but was'donied the right.
It was then discovered that the agri
cultural bureau was agricultural only
In name and powerless to carry any
point favoring the rural population.
After much thought aud effort it was
decided necessary to organize and labor
secretly.
Accordingly ou Dec. 4, 18G7, O. H.
Kelley, the Minnesota farmer; William
Saunders, the chief of the agricultural
bureau; Rev. A. B. Grosh of the same
bureau, W. M. Ireland of the postofflce
department, J. II. Thompson and Rev.
John Trimble of the treasury, F. M.
McDowell, a New York horticulturist,
and one lady, Miss Caroline Hall, niece
of Mr. Kelley, organized the Order of
Tatrons of Husbandry. Of the char
ter members only O. U. Kelley and
his niece, Miss Hall, still survive. Mrs.
Eva McDowell, the national grange
treasurer, Is the widow of F. M. Mc
Dowell und Is still living In New York
state. ..
The present finds us, on many Issues,
conquerors. The agricultural bureau
is granted all rights and is one of tho
most popular, useful aud honored de
partments of the government. Through
the enactment of tho interstate com
merce law freight aud traffic charges
were, made more reasonable.. Rural
free delivery Is an acknowledged suc
cess. The bitter struggle for the now
popular rural free delivery covered a
period of thirty-three years, but It was
a great grange victory at last. There
is still much to he overcome. Our ef
forts will be directed to better cultiva
tion. The Hwords that we shall use
will be the plowshare and the pruning
hook. Today the grange Is the equal
of ony national organization. In its
unity it is strong, Its power for good
unlimited. Wo appreciate that much
of its work has gone into history. To
day we are proud of the past and pres
ent and hopeful for the future.
A Monster Cheese.
The largest cheese ever manufactured
In the Mohawk valley was shipped to
a Chicago firm June 8 by a Utica (N.
Y.) cold storage company. The cheese
was built in the usual shape, but It
measured 32 Inches high, 45 Inches in
diameter, contained 41,728 cubic Inches
and weighed 1,050 pounds. It took
about ten tons of milk to produce It,
and It wns pressed Into shape by a
specially constructed press in a Low
vllle cheese factory, where it was
bought by the Chicago firm through
the cold storage company. The com
pany has shipped quite a number of
cheeses weighing as much as 1,200
pounds, but this was the largest one It
ever tackled.
