WARNING THAT IS TIMELY.
But a few days ago the Portland
Traveler's Aid Association of this city
announced the preparation of a large
number of leaflets and placards, to
- be distributed in the various centers
of population, warning unskilled and
unemployed young women against
coming to Portland to seek positions
simply because it is Exposition year.
It is the purpose to set forth the fact
that such field of labor will be greatly
overcrowded. Such warning is time
ly and the hope that it will prove ef
ficacous. ; It is very natural that many young
women should be attracted to an Ex
position city, in the -.belief that re
munerative employment is to be had
merely for the asking This is a mis
taken notion, nevertheless; danger
ously so, in fact, as that young woman
may realize whose ambitious mission
results in failure, and who finds her
self : without . employment,' means,
friends or protection in a city like
Portland, with a great exposition in
full swing. The risks incident to such
a step are not to be complacently con
templated by those of the gentler sex
who are endowed with plenty of moral
stamina and who have some know
ledge of the world, while to the inex
perienced not so equipped there is
positive menace in the situation.
It would be well if the Portland
Traveler's Aid Association called at
tention in its warning to the unfortu
nate fact that young women of the
city who now have employment as
clerks, stenographers and the like
have cause to complain of the condi
tions which the cupidity of the land
lord and boarding-house proprietor
promises to Impose. These latter, evi
dently believing that there is to be but
one year in Portland, that the present
year of the Exposition, and after that
the deluge, have signified their in
tention of advancing room rent and
the price of board until their working
girl patrons have come to regard the
Fair as a detriment to their welfare.
Many of these young women declare
that after they pay the advanced price
of living, they will have left from a
week's wages but a fraction of a dol
lar for clothing and incidental expen
ses.
These facts, if forcibly brought to
the attention of young women who
erroneously believe that during the
approaching Summer Portland will be
a-veritable.Mecca should be beneficial
ly discouraging. These are not pleas
ant facts, even for Portland people to
contemplate.' It is indeed pitiable that
any considerable class of persons
should allow the mighty dollar to
tread so closely upon the heel of their
conscience or perhaps more accurate
ly, trample conscience under foot en
tirely. It is the condition, however,
and not the ethical desire, that the
wage-earning young woman of Port
land who does not live at home has
to face. The more clearly this condi
tion is understood by her sisters
abroad infinitely better 'will it be for
all concerned. Evening Telegram,
Portland, Or., March 27, 1905.
O
"FOR COMPANY'S SAKE."
The marriage of a man and woman
well along in years took place in this
city a few days ago. James J. Gibson
and Clara E. Howe, both of Clackamas
County, were the contracting parties.
He is 79" years old and she is 60. These
people are pioneers of Oregon, and
have been friends and neighbors for
many years. Both have children grown
and settled in life, but they found
themselves alone, so far as home as
sociations went, and they decided to
be married and spend their remaining
years together "for "company's sake."
There is something In a marriage
of this kind that appeals to common
sense and to a just appreciation- of
the condition of men and women who,
bereft of the companionship of those
who walked beside them during the
burden and the heat of the day, are
expected to "live around" among' their
children during the remaining years
of life. In point of fact, no one, man
or women, of orderly habits needs a
home of his or her own at any period
of life so much as when life's shadows
lengthen and its sun declines. If
husband and wife, married . in their
youth, live .on through the closing
years together and pass out within a
few months of each other, the case
is simplified, since thoughtful children
can readily provide care for father
and mother together in the .old home.
But when, as in a vast majority of
cases, one precedes the other to the
silent land by many years, the one
that remains is, after the last child
has gone to a home of his or her own,
alone, in a sense that is appalling to
true sensibility to comtemplate. A
marriage of this kind bears no resem
blance or relation to the bringing to
gether in matrimony of "June and
December," It is in a decent sense a
marriage of convenience. It is without
mercenary motive', pretense of love or
suggestion of passion. Its motive is
succinctly set out in the words at the
head of this article.
The first impulse is to regard a
marriage like the one above chroni
cled as foolish; but second thought
will correct this estimate and enable
those specially Interested to view it as
a simple, sensible arrangement which
promises such contentment as may
come to those who
In life's late afternoon,
Where cool and long' the shadows grow,
Walk on to meet the night that soon
Shall shape and shadow overflow.
He is a churl indeed who would
grudge a man or woman thus situated
a suitable companion in this twingnt
walk "for company's sake." Oregon-

RISE OF A PROTECTED INDUSTRY
In the manufacture of silk the Unit
ed States has become the second coun
try in the world, France only leading
it now.' Seven-tenths of the silk goods
sold , in our markets, and nearly nine
tenths of silk ribbons, are of Ameri
can make. In 1860 only 13 per cent of
the silk used here was manufactured
at home. This country in 1900 im
ported more raw silk from China than
the whole of Europe, outside of
France. In the same year the silk
manufactories in the United States
numbered 483, employing 66,500 hands
and producing goods worth $107,250,
000. Importations of finished silks
have fallen off, and Americans are
competing for the silk trade in many
foreign countries. But raw- silk is
coming in to the extent of $45,000,000
a year.
The present great production of
manufactured ailk goods would have
been impossible without a protective
tariff, and by the same method the
wages of American silk workers have
been maintained at a much higher
standard than prevails anywhere else.
Reviewing facts of this nature from
time to time is a timely proceeding.
Free trade assaults on the present
American tariff system are so fre-1
quent and take on so many disguises
that the truth should vbe perseveringly
made prominent, for those who spread
the fallacies always keep busy. The
American machinery used in silk man
ufactures is exceedingly ingenious and
the goods turned out are sound in
quality and artistic in design and fin
ish. A tariff "for revenue only" can
have no standing when pitted against
accomplished facts like the rise of the
silk industry within our own national
boundaries.
There are few towns the size of
Oregon City whose people evince
more interest in music and an apprec
iation thereof. In order to better
study music and compositions of the
great composers, the Schumann Sing
ing Society of this city was recently
organized. Under the competent di
rection of Miss Harding, one of Ore
gon City's most talented vocalists, the
society has made surprising progress.
The first appearance of the society
was made at Willamette Hall Wed
nesday evening when a rare musical
programme was- faultlessly presented
to the entertainment of a large num
ber of specially invited friends.

A remonstrance against the remov
al of the United States Land Office
from Oregon City to Portland receiv
ed numerous signatures in Dallas this
week. " The opinion generally ex
ed among our citizens is that there
are no good reasons for the change,
and that the removal of the office
would be a serious blow to Oregon
City, while it would mean little to
Portland, one way or the other. Bruce ft
C. Curry, of Oregon City, who Is cir
culating the remonstrance, says that
he finds public sentiment throughout
the district strongly opposed to the
proposed change.--Polk County Ob
server. Additional franchises for erecting
and maintaining rural telephone lines
in Clackamas county, were granted
by the County Court last week. The
telephone is being Introduced in every
section of Clackamas county and is
proving a strong factor in the devel
opment of the county.
The painting and repairing of the
suspension bridge, which has been or
dered by the county court, is an im
provement that will be welcomed by
the people of Oregon City and Clack
amas county.
HONOR FOR JOAQUIN MILLER.
Picturesque Oregon Poet to Have a Spec
ial Day at the Lewis & Clark Fair.
PORTLAND, May 11. Prophets may
be without honor in their own country,
but in the case of Joaquin Miller there
is a poet who is going to .be honored in
his own country. There is to be a "Joa
quin Miller Day" at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, which opens June 1, at Port
land, the city where Miller's first vol
umes of poetry" were published and the
metropolis of the state where the poet
grew to manhood.
Joaquin. Miller is commonly known as
the poet of the Sierras, because his first
book of any consequence was "Songs of
the Sierras." But the people of Oregon
prize him most highly as the poet of
Mount Hood, and of the heroic pioneers
who peopled the virgin state. Miller
has sung grandly of Mount Hood .which
is Oregon's own beloved snow-peak, vis
ible on all clear days from the Exposi
tion grounds, though it is forty-six miles
away.
The date of Joaquin Miller's day will
be selected to suit the poet's own con
venience. Invitations will be sent to all
western authors, and to writers - in the
Bast whose books deal with western mat
ters, and the plan is to have a "Western
Authors' Week," with the Joaquin Miller
day as the chief feature. On this day
there is to be a reception to Mr.' Miller
in the Auditorium of the Exposition,
with appropriate literary program in
cluding perhaps a new poem by Mr.
Miller himself.
Joaquin Miller came to Oregon from
Indiana, the state of his birth, nearly
sixty years ago, when he was a small
boy. His parents settled in the Willam
ette "Valley, near the present town of
Eugene, Oregon. Miller ran away from
home and went to the gold diggings in
Southern Oregon when he was 13 years
old. . He had many rough experiences,
including several battles with Indians,
and once he received wounds from ar
rows which came near ending his car
reer. He returned home a few years
later. He relates that he carried his
school, books along when he ran away,
and did as much studying as was possible
in the mining camps and on Indian war
campaigns. Very early his tastes in
clined to poetry, and his' first book was
a thin volume printed for distribution
among his friends. His second book,
also published in Portland, was called
"Joaquin et al.," the chief poem dealing
with the life of Joaquin Murietta. a noted
Mexican bandit of the period, who had
terrorized California! Miller's reader's
dubbed him "Joaquin" in derision, and
he adopted the name as his own. His
parents had named him Cincinnatus Heine
Miller.
When he was about 28 years of age
Miller went to London, where he pub
lished several books of verses, including
his famous "Songs of the Sierras". His
poems were received with high praise
by the English critics and he became
famous at once.
For many years Miller has lived on the
heights near Oakland, California, where
he built two cottages, one for himself
and another for his aged mother. He has
published many books, both in prose and I
verse. His "Danites," which was drama
tized, earned him a large income as a
stage production. Miller s complete
poems have been published recently in
one volume. '-
Much interest is being manifested in
his -presence an an honored guest of the
Lewis & Clark Exposition, this being the
first time that any poet has been recog
nized by a great world's fair.

us see what it is. In the first place Arata teas are grown in he best tea district of

any other district. It may be that second or even third crop teas look nearly as well
