TRYOUT WELL STARTED
PAPER WEIGHTS TO PICK BOWL
ING TEAM
The tryout for the Paper Weights
bowling team is well started and in
side of a week the ten lucky players
who will compose the two teams, will
be decided. The tryout has been un
der way for three days, and it is
thought that the schedule will last a
week longer. Over 20 men are out
for positions on the fives.
At first two teams will be chosen
but after the season becomes more
advanced, one team will be picked
out which will represent the club. Al
though plans are rather hazy, as yet,
outside organizations will probably
be met.
The club members are in the em
ploy of the Willamette Pulp &. Paper
company ,the tryout being held after
working hours.

YALE HAS LAST PRACTICE
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 19.
This was the last day of football prac
tice on the historic Yale field, which
will be replaced in another season
by the new "bowl." Tonight the play
ers will kindle, their annual bonfire
with bits of discarded uniforms and
hold their yearly dance around the
blaze. The squad will leave tomor
row afternoon for Auburndale, Mass.,
'its training quarters for the Harvard
game.
'TIS SAID PARCEL POST
AIDS LAW VIOLATORS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Evasion
of the game laws through the agency
of the parcel post is now possible,
for Postmaster-General Burleson re
plied to the interrogations of indig
nant officials of states that congress
had placed no restrictions on the de
partment as to accepting game. This
construction, the state game war
dens fear, will nullify in great meas
ure the state laws framed for the pro
tection of wild life.
QUAILS ARE ABUNDANT
EASTERN CLACKAMAS SAID TO
HAVE MANY BIRDS
Reports have reached the county
seat that Bob White quail are becom
ing abundant in the upper part of the
county. A large number of Oregon
City hunters have made the trip this
fall and a great majority came back
with full bags.
This bird is able to adapt itself to
its surroundings better than most
game birds and thrives in almost any
community. It is thought that by next
season quail hunting will be better
in eastern Clackamas than in most
sections of the valley. The bird not
only is able to adapt itself but is a
great economic value to any commun
ity as it is sure death to many farm
pests.
The farming communities around
Eagle Creek, Curransville, Estacada,
Springwater, and" Garfield have seen
the greatest increase in tne past
year.
TURNER WILL PROBABLY-
ACCJZPT PRESIDENCY
HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. .19. While
Governor John E. Tener, of Pennsyl
vania, has given no public Intimation
as to 'what he intends to do, it is be
lieved by those who know him best
that he will accept the presidency of
the National Baseball league, which
was offered him here today by a ma
jority of the club presidents of that
organization. Every club in the lea
gue, with the exception of St. Louis,
v.hcse president was unable to at
tend, was represented in the meeting
at which the offer was made.
-That's the Reason!
"I cannot understand why my second
husband Is so fastidious." confessed a
woman to her bosom friend. "He
scarcely eats anything. My first hus
band, who died, used to eat everything
I cooked for him."

that?"

TURKISH VENGEANCE.
It's a Perilous Matter to Endanger the
Life of a Sultan. -"
Within two weeks after the assas
sination of Mabmud Sbefket Pasha,
the grand vizier of Turkey, thirty-two
men were put to death for taking part
in the conspiracy. According to Tur
kish custom hnnded down from the
time of Mohammed, there Is no limit
as to the number of lives that may be
taken as a penalty for- the murder of
one man. Even Hhose interested In
the remotest degree are liable to the
sultan's vengeance. It Is not so much
the number the ruler of Turkey Is au
thorized to put out of the way, but
rather where.the line is to be drawn.
The Turks have a story of one of
the earlier successors of Mohammed
whose life was only endangered be
cause of a rock falling down a decliv
ity near which the sultan was riding
with his retinue. Half a dozen of
those in charge of the trip were put to
death as an ordinary matter of course,
then half a dozen more who might
have remotely' known something about
the facilities afforded by the road for
killing the sultan. Finally all the mem-
oers or a secret thud or loage were or
dered executed because It was ascer
tained that one of the responses to a
password was "Will you roll down the
stone?" v -
Despite the protestations of the club
members that the words had no signifi
cance at all with respect to the sultan
or the sultan's trip along the road, tbey
were ordered to the scaffold. They
numbered 118 in all and died bravely,
assuring their executioners to the very
last that they were innocent. Later a
eunuch who told how the falling of the
rock was merely an accident was also
put to death for daring to say so. New
York Sun.
Killed by Light.
Those who have studied the strange
inhabitants of the Mammoth cave In
Kentucky say- that the celebrated
blind fish from that cavern when
placed in illuminated aquaria seek out
the darkest places, and It Is believed
that light is directly fatal to them, for
they soon die if kept In a brightly
lighted tank The avoidance of light
seems to be a general characteristic of
the sightless creatures dwelling In the
great cave.
GRASS LINED BOOTS.
They Are Worn by the Nomadio Lappa,
Who Never Get Cold Feet
- While civilized man suffers intensely
from cold feet every winter, the Lap
lander, living In the far north of Eu
rope, bas no such trouble. A traveler
writes: "Their boots are made of rein
doer skin and are worn very large, and
the toes are pointed and curve upward
so as to be easily slipped into their skis.
The Lapp usually fills his boots half
full with a peculiar green grass. Into
which he thrusts his naked feet. He
then packs the boots full with more
grass, tucks the ends of his trousers
inside and binds them tightly round
with many turns of a brightly woven
braid. With these precautions they
never suffer from cold feetv and chil
blains, corns or such like civilized com
plaints are an unknown horror to
them."
Concerning other customs the same
writer says: "The Lapps are essen
tially a nomadic race and spend most
of their lives wandering fancy free
among the wild and glorious scenery
of thpfr northern home. However, at
times no doubt -the stillness of the
frozen mountains becomes too still,
and they turn their herds and start
toward their nearest meeting place.
Twice a year they hold these general
gatherings at Easter and midsummer
when they congregate and hold a
general fair. It Is on these occasions
that they celebrate their weddings and
funerals. The revelries last only about
ten days, but many marriages take
place between couples who perhaps
have never met previously.
"As soon as a Lapp can afford to buy
enough reindeer for himself he leaves
the parental tent, takes a wife and
roams away wherever his heart or
reindeer dictates. There are no social
distinctions in Laplan.l Should a man
have no reindeer or possibly have lost
what he b-d A travels with a rich
man and helps him tend the herd, but
be lives and feeds with tbem in the
same tent and is iui!e on a social
equality until he can afford to start off
with hjs own herd "Chicago News.

My Dear Mr. Abbot I have just
had an opportunity to examine your
book, "Panama and the Canal." It
is an admirable volume the story is
most interesting, the illustrations are
profuse and illuminating and the
workmanship is excellent. The book
is worthy of your reputation and of
the gigantic engineering enterprise
which has put Panama on the World
Map. Thanking you for the pleasure and
instruction- which the hook has given
me, I am, very truly yours,
W. J. BRYAN.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT'S CHAMBER
Willis J. Abbot: Washington, August 21, 1913.
My Dear Friend Abbot I was delightfully surprised the other evening- to receive a
copy of your work upon Panama. Typographically it is a thing of beauty; and as for
its accuracy, I know you so well, as to believe it all. If it appeals as it should you
will have scored a great success. Sincerely yours, THOMAS R. MARSHALL.

New York City:
My Dear Sir "Panama and the Ca
nal in Picture and Prose" whets my
anticipation of visiting the Canal this
Winter after the water has been turn

FROM THE MAJORITY LEADER IN
THE SENATE.
August 18, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot Your new book,
"Panama and the Canal in Picture and
Prose," is a "thing of beauty and a
joy forever." The mechanical execu
tion is unsurpassed, and you have
made a great contribution to Panama
literature. It should be in the hands
of everybody, and especially those who
are not able to visit the Isthmus in
person. After reading your splendid
descriptions and looking at the fine
illustrations no one can fail to have a
complete and accurate knowledge of
every subject concerning the Isthmus
and. the Canal of any possible interest.
Yours very truly,
JNO. W. KERN.
FROM A LEADING PROGRESSIVE SENATOR. August 13( 1913
Dear Abbot I am fascinated with your book, as I was with the Isthmus itself.
This spot, where the nations meet, is of rapidly increasing interest. It will be a pleas
ure resort as well as a commercial center. It is fortunate that one so well equipped
as yourself has written just at this time the story of this interesting place. You have
caught its spirit, its romance and beauty. The wealth of pictures adds greatly to the
(nterest of your vivid descriptions. Very truly yours, MILES POINDEXTER.
FROM THE MAJORITY
LEADER IN THE HOUSE.
My Dear Mr. Abbot The book is
a graphic presentation of the facts
concerning this greatest of all mod
ern contributions to the world"s pro
gress and the amity of nations. Your

prized both by those who have visited
the Canal- Zone and those who have
that great pleasure yet in view. Sin
cerely yours, -
O. W. UNDERWOOD.
FROM MEMBER OF SENATE COMMITTEE ON INTERSTATE COMMERRCE
Dear Mr. Abbot I am greatly pleased with your "Panama and the Canal in Picture
and Prose." It is the most interesting and attractive work on Panama I have ever
seen. It contains the complete story from Columbus to the present, and I have no
doubt it will be readily recognized as the most useful compilation of facts relating to
our Canal interests in Panama now published. Its wealth of illustrations as wll as
its attractive presentation of related facts makes it a very valuable addition to my
library.
Sincerely yours.

FROM CHAIRMAN OF SENATE COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS.
August 19, 1913.
Mr. Abbot's -work on "Panama and the Canal" is the most interesting and valuable publication relative to the
Isthmian Canal that has ever come to my notice. Its careful preparation is especially evidenced by its complete
ness of detail, involving infinite pains in research. The story is an. inspiring one, and the narrative is related in a
most pleasing style. Both as a literary and historical production of great value, and as a model of typographic art,
its place in any library ought to be assured. WILLIAM J. STONE.
FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF INTERSTATE COM
" MERCE HOUSE COMMITTEE
August 15, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I have examined with great
pleasure and admiration your exquisite book on Pana
ma. Of all the works relating to that matchless en
terprise with which I am acquainted this product of
your genius is most excellent and satisfactory. As
a contribution to history, geography, literature, ar
tistic arrangement and illustration it is a triumph of
art. Yours truly, W. C. ADAMSON.
FROM AN ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN.
August 21, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I am delighted with your book,
"Panama and the Canal in Picture and Prose." It is the
most valuable publication on Panama yet issued. You
have thoroughly popularized the entire matter. I think I
have read everything published on the subject of Panama
and the Canal, and in my study of the subjects connected
with the Canal I have spent many days on the Isthmus of
Panama. Your book appears at a most opportune time. I
know of no information of real value on the subject which
is not contained in your book. You have rendered a great
public service. The book is written in a charming man
ner, and you present the intensely interesting romantic
history connected with that part of the world as no one
else has yet been able to do. I know of no other book of
travel appearing in recent years so interesting and valu
able as this. Very truly yours,
HENRY T. RAINEY.
FROM THE WELL-KNOWN WISCONSIN SENATOR
August 20, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I have had opportunity only
to glance through "Panama and the Canal" and to ob
serve how profusely and beautifully it is illustrated.
It is pleasing and attractive in appearance, and when
I have opportunity to read the text I am confident
that I shall' find it, like other productions of your
pen, both entertaining and informing. " ' -
Cordially yours, ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE.
FROM MEMBER OF SENATE COMMITTEE ON INTER-OCEANIC
CANALS.
August 15 ,1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I shall read "Panama and the
Canal in Picture and Prose" with a great deal of
pleasure, but the pleasure will be largely enhanced
by the fact that as a member of the Committee on
Inter-Oceanic Canals I visited the Canal in October
1911, and the half-tone cuts in the volume recall more
vividly than anything else the scenes I visited.
C. S. PAGE.
FROM AN INDIANA CONGRESSMAN
August 21, 1913. -
My Dear Willis With a great deal of pleas
ure I have read your new book on Panama.
Its artistic finish and fascinating literary style
combine to make this story of Panama the
most attractive and comprehensive. I heartily
congratulate you on this picture and prose
history of the Isthmus, for the eyes of the
world are now centered on this our greatest
national endeavor, and as everybody interest
ed wants comprehensive information on this
world-famous enterprise, you have surely given
to students and the reading public generally a
new beacon light of history with a fascinating
descriptive thrill in every page. Your friend,
HENRY A. BARNHART.
FROM A NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN.
August 20, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I desire to congratulate you most
heartily on your latest book, "Panama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose."
A book of this kind is usually regarded as a picture
book, and surely this one is most beautifully illustrated.
But your book could be regarded as a picture book if one
were to -regard it from its letter press alone. I found it
packed with information about the world's most wonder
ful canal, about the people there and the tropical condi
tions and about the ruins and the history that tell of
Aztec and Toltec days and the later amazing adventures
of Balboa, Cortez and their handful of Spanish companions,
who mixed their private business of buccaneering with
an authorized business of exploring. I think the style in
which you have written is most clear and flowing, and
altogether this book is by. far the best presentment of this
much-talked-of subject that it has been my good fortune
to find. Sincerely yours, HENRY GEORGE, JR.
FROM A LOUISIANA SENATOR.
August 25, 1913.
Dear Mr. Abbot "Panama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose" is one of the most thorough,
works of its kind that has come before me,
and on its face it shows the result of untiring
efforts on your part. It appears to be remark
ably well arranged, and I am sure it contains
an exhaustive fund of information.
Very sincerely, JOS. E. RANSDELL.
FROM A PROMINENT REPUBLICAN
SENATOR
August 22, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot My wife and I spent a
most delightful Sunday in going over your mag
' nificent book on Panama. We had visited
the Isthmus last Christmas and were familiar
with the different places, which lent an addi
tional charm to the work. It is about the most
"readable" book I have had hold of for a long
while. Sincerely yours, WM. S. KENYON.-
