1 zr- if, ijjjp,, THE MOENING OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1901. AMONG THE CLUBWOMEN CONVKXTIOX OF A THOUSAND WOJIE.V IX -.OS AXGBLES. Only in Savagery Are tUe Women the Laborer o the Race, Said One Speaker. At the opening of the 10th annual Par Unmpnt nf Snnthprn California, at Los Anpelps. October-S, nearly 1000 women were- present. If It were not for the com ing to this same city of the great bi ennial, six months hence, this gather ing of distinguished women would be a landmark in the life of the progressive women of Southern California, "They are not only progressive, but are energetic and Industrious in the sense of getting right in and working, else the women of Xrf)s Angeles would not undertake two such conventions in one year. Willie the biennial will overshadow the parliament in numbers, it is safe to predict that no better addresses will be heard. The Gen eral Federation convention will discuss a greater- variety of topics, while the parliament confined Itself almost ex clusively to mother and child study, the relations between the home and school, and in turn their Influence for a better citizenship. Miss Mary Foy took a comparatively new subject, ''Our Foreign Sisters," meaning the women of foreign birth living among us. She dwelt .upon, the necessity of closer personal" contact, that they 'may become more fit to raise American citi zens. She said in part: "We reach their children through the schools. The men must be somewhat in fluenced by contact with American men In business. The women may learn many things in-imitation they may even learn to be business women but they cannot grasp the highest ideals of the best Americans without direct sympathetic communication with our bett women with women like yourselves intelligent, patriotic and full of sympathy. There must be something in the home to sup plement what Is being done at school, and it is to impress this that I am before you this afternoon. "Once get a woman to understand that 'her boys and girls may rise to any height, provided they have it in themselves to carry themselves there, and she will be come a typical American mother." The most notable address of the ses sion was delivered by Mrs. Strickland Clark, the first woman lawyer in Detroit, Mich., but now a resident of Los Angeles. Her topic was "Equal Pay for Equal "Work." Mrs. Clark approved of the prin ciples, but thought it was rarely the case that women could render "equal services" as they became -wage-earners, either at an early age or after mature years, while man's service was continuous through many years. "And," she said, "a. career which sacrifices wifehood and motherhood is not the goal of the movement for woman's advancement, nor is it con ducive to the evolution of mankind." The following remarks called forth much animated discussion: "But that It is in the divine economy of being, or that it is in accordance with nature's laws, that women, as a class, .should strive for or even accept apposi tion of equality in the world's Industries, I do not believe. A civilization that re quires it is crude. A philosophy that de mands it is a philosophy of society that is reactionary rather than reformatory; and such teachings as those, notably of Mrs. Charlotte Ferklns-Stctson-Gllman and Olive Schreirier, In the Cosmopolitan of two years ago, are crude and abnormal crylngs for that state which, if attained, would lead us back to the savagery of the past. In what state have we ever found the women of the race the laborers of the race? In savagery always." We are sorry extracts from other ex cellent addresses cannot be "given, but. ; this will be a foretaste in store for those fortunate enough to go to lids Angeles next May. "Women and -forestry. The forestry law passed by the Penn sylvania Legislature in 1897 is said to be the best in the United States, and is largely due to the efficient work of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, who have accomplished wonderful results in this line of work. In recognition of their , services, Governor Stone has appointed Miss Myra L. Dock a. member of the State Forestry Commission. Miss Dock is eminently fitted for the position, as she has for years made forestry a study, both in this country and abroad, in Ger many, having studied under Instructors who gave special attention to the Black Forest. Her lectures and writings have given her a world-wide reputation, and she is considered an authority on park and city Improvements. Miss Dock Is also one of the best-known clubwomen of the East. "Would that her spirit might enter into the clubwomen of Oregon, and such a cry be raised against the wanton destruction of the magnificent trees of this state and city that would at least stay the ax till the Legislature could be asked to prevent such vandalism. Studying Oregon History. The Neighborhood Club of La Grande is certainly the most up-to-date club In the state in the matter of calendars. Their year book is a beauty. The club colors, yellow and white, are artistically brought together on the cover, while the yellow leaves give only an outline of the programme, and at each meeting a tiny yellow and white detailed programme card Is furnished. Mrs. Hansen was the very able leader ot the meeting October 15, which was devoted to Lewis and Clarke, though other historic characters of that period received attention. Mrs. Hansen herself gave a fine talk on Thomas Jef ferson. A beautiful souvenir of the day was the song "Sweet Oregon," written in white on yellow paper. It will be remem bered this club is studying Oregon his tory this year, but the most prosaic sub ject might he made tempting in such at tractive habiliments. Specialties or Lay Workers. At the convention of the National Xeague of Women Workers. Miss Vir- ginia Potter, of the Far and Near Club, 'suggested that in home departments a class-" be formed of "'specialists or lay workers," where club members who hai'e any specialty in home or housework could demonstrate it for the benefit of those less expert in that particular line, giving 'as examples, fine ironing, darning, mend ing, the shlnlng-up of household articles. In conclusion she said: "I should like to include in our specialty classes the use of the hammer, putting up curtains and pictures, the laying of carpet and oil cloth, the mending of roller shades, and everything which we women have to do so often and do so badly just for the Trant of a little knowing; how." Y. "W. C. A. Conference. , The sixteenth biennial conference of the International Board of the Young Women's Christian Association will meet in Cleveland, O., from October SO to No vember 5. It is expected that every as sociation of the board will be represented. A six-minute report is booked for every one of the sixty-five associations, from which it is anticipated much, pleasure and Instruction will be derived. Many spbjects of vital interest will be dis cussed, for which eminent speakers have been engaged. "Bible Study in Associa tions" will be -presented by Mr. Nash, of the Cleveland Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Lear mont, of Montreal, will represent the as sociations of Canada. , Appropriation of $4000. Last .year the Legislature of Nebraska enacted a state traveling library law, car rying with it an appropriation of $4000 to prosecute the work. This was the direct result of the work of the woman's clubs of the state working through their state federation. The inspiration for this movement. It is said, came from the bu reau of library work established by Mrs. Bookwalter at the .Milwaukee biennial. Studying "World-Religions. Tho Channlng Club, of San Diego, Cal., was organized for the study of the re ligions of the world. The large Cam bridge Club, of Brooklyn, will devote this year to the sariie study, and has a well laid out and comprehensive programme arranged, expecting to employ distin guished lecturers from time to time. A Persuasive Title. Los Angeles has a whist club- called the "C. U. T. E.," which means "come up Tuesday evenings." It doesn't proper ly belong in this column, as it "admits men," but the evening might be changed to afternoon if some woman's club wanted a persuasive title. FEELING IS MORE CONFIDENT Business on Berlin Bourse Q,uiet But' Stronger. BERLIN, Oct. 20. Notwithstanding much news 'from the Industrial -centers, the Bourse last week was comparatively strong. The volume of business remains slight, outsiders holding aloof. Never theless the feeling is .somewhat more confident. , A favorable factor was the buying of coal and Iron shares for foreign account. It is asserted that considerable French money was invested in such securities during the week, and especially in coal snares, upon tne expectation oi u. uotii strike in France. Wednesday, from 100, 000 to 500,000 marks were Invested in Harpener coal for Paris account. THere has also been some British buying. Nevertheless, coal shares generally were neglected, domestic Investors being in fluenced by American Imports of coal and the Impending reduction In prices. The Improvement in coal and iron shares reached four points this week. The coke Stocks are accumulating, and it is con sidered certain that the situation must Increase the restriction of the output to 50 per cent. American railroad shares were the strongest feature. Northern Pacific pre ferred, was heavily bought by New York, gaining 4.12 points yesterday. On the week the gain was 6.62 points, the closing quotation being 104.62. Foreign rentes were generally strong, particularly in Chinese loan, owing to the signing of the peace protocol. Italians were strong on the fall of gold premiums, but Spaniards were weak. In consequence of the condition of the money market, domestic loams were weak. Imperial threes lost .065 and Prus sian threes .050. There was much short selling of both. Foreign holders also soia. Another cause of weakness was the rate of new loans, and the belief that the government continues, to sell the leans privately, anticipating the Issue. It Is now regarded as certain that con siderable new loans will be floated after the new year, both Imperial and Prussian. Private discount advanced on the week of a point to 3 per cent, which was maintained. The Impulse to this was chiefly the scarcity of money in Paris. Considerable French paper was offered here for discount. Another cause was the Reichsbank'a return for the week, which proved somewhat unsatisfactory. It is said the bank has been compelled to prolong a number of bills in order to prevent Insolvencies and other difficul ties. Tho Bourse gave considerable attention to the negotiations between the Alge meine Elektrlcltaets-Gesselschaft, of Ber lin, and the Schuckert Electrical Com pany, of Nuremburg, for .establishing a community of Interest, arranging prices and saving expenses in selling.' The shares of the latter .company improved strongly in consequence. German works are now securing orders for locomotives in India. This is ex plained by the possibility of more rapid delivery, owing to the fact that the Brit ish works have -heavy orders- ahead. The Prussian railway authorities will -soon order 400 locomotives. The sugar syndicate has decided to reduce production next year, owing to the low prices and the amount of stock The alcohol syndicate has reduced prices 4 marks per hectolitre in the case of truae aiconoi.

IS Discriminates Against Boys Under .16 Years Old and Hunters From -" Outside States. OLYMPIA, Oct. 20. The' Legislature of 1901 passed a game law that it was hoped would cure defects in former laws and lend greater protection to game gener ally. But it has become apparent that ,the measureMs sadly .defective. One of the provisions of the new law Is, to the effect that boys under 16 years of age are exempt from its requirements and an other is that hunters from outside states are discriminated against. These two discriminative features of the ltw are causing the various game wardens of the state considerable trouble and It is not improbable will cause the law to be de clared unconstitutional. In fact a Su perior Judge" in" Spokane County has al ready -declared the law unconstitutional on the feature relative to exempting boys, and it Is likely that the other weak spot in the law will be brought into the courts soon. In this county is a man who is ready to be arrested for killing deer without first having procured the $1 license, and the County Attorney is apparently doubt ful about securing a conviction should he cause the arrest. It Is known that an agreement has been entered into between a number of sportsmen whereby they are to help test the law In case this man is charged with its violation. An appar ently honest effort was made In the Leg islature to make the law effective, but It would appear that the present measure Is wholly lacking in many points. Nu merous hunters pay no attention to the law, particularly since the season for killing deer opened. STUDY OF HISTORY. Sew Class Organizes at Oregon Uni versity. EUGENE. Oct. 19. Professor Joseph Schafer. head of the department of his tory .of the University of Oregon, has organized a class of history, composed of post-graduate students and undergrad uates doing work In sophomore history and above. The class will meet twice a month on Wednesday evenings, and stu dents doing work in it will be granted university credit for the same. The pur nose is to train students In the methods and principles of historical research and criticism, and to this end a text will be used on the subejet. Professor Schafer Intends to bring before the students ex amples of historical research "and com plete 'explanations of how the work Is carried on. Both Dr. Strong and Pro fessor Schafer, who have done consider able work In this line, will deliver a series of lectures explaining the methods of re search work In history. In connection with this work, the members will be ex pected to study various specimens of his torical literature. Reports will be made on the same, which they are to study and compare for the purpose of developing a proper conception of what constitutes good historical style. Above all, each member will b expected to undertake during the course of the year, under the direction and constant supervision of the, Instructor In history, a practical applica tion of that which he learns In his class about historical research work. Professor Schafer 'has introduced into his department a course on westward expansion, or a study of the history of the settlement and development of the United States westward from the Alleghany Mountains. This course Is intended for graduate students, or those of the ad vanced under-graduates who have com pleted the required work leading up to tho course. A special feature -will be a detailed study to be made of the old Northwestern. Ter ritory, comprising the States of Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The members of the class are each to prepare a thesis and during the course of its preparation to make reports and formal lectures, the aim being to trace the vari ous lines of development, including the political, economic and social features, from the beginning of settlements in Ohio at the close of the 18th century to the present time. A list of topics for the theses follows: Sketches of the political history of the Northwestern States; progress of popula tion In the Northwestern States; stages of economic progress In the Northwestern States: commercial development In the Northwestern States; development of edu cation In the Northwestern States; social changes In the Northwestern States. There has been a special effort on behalf of the university authorities to secure a fair equipment for this course. The de partment of history now has at its cdm mand a collection of the publications of the leading historical societies In all these states, as well as a large number of state publications. This Is the one part of our country which we may now study with some detail, says Professor Schafer. The chief purpose which Professor Schafer has In view in presenting this course In the history of the old Northwestern Ter ritory is to prepare and train the young men of Oregon for a proper study of our own history. The work of the historical societies of these older states, since they have made an exhaustive study of the early history of their states and have formulated, through experience, the best method to pursue In original research work of this kind, affords some excellent suggestions for students of Oregon his tory. Oregon la a comparatively old state', yet so far no attempt has been made to prepare a history of the state on strictly scientific methods. The Pacific .Northwest offers a fertile field for his torical work, and the department of his tory of the State University will endeavor to Inspire Its students with the desire to explore this field, and to produpe his torical works worthy of the name. Saturday night Vlllard Hall was filled with students and townspeople in attend ance at a musical programme of more than usual excellence. W. GIfford Nash, dean of the University of Oregon school of music, presented his pupils, Arthur Louis Frazer, in a pianoforte recital, assisted by Miss Bertha Rowena Templeton, so prano, and Miss Carrie M. Ford, ac companist. IMPORTANT LAND OFFICE DECISION Case Involving the Ownership of Breitenbush Hot Springs. OREGON CITY, Oct. 20. Register Moores and Receiver Galloway of the Oregon City Land Office, have handed down their decision In one of the most Important contests that has been heard, before them for many months. The case is S. B. Ormsby vs. Claude H. Mans field and involved the ownership of Breitenbush Hot Springs, situated In the Cascade forest reserve. Mansfield filed on the land March 15, 1901, and made proof May 8. but In viewpf the contest, which waa filed the same day, a certificate was not Issued to the entryman. Mr. Mans field took up the claim 13 years ago, and as time went on others realized that the land would some day be very valuable. The Corvallls & Eastern Railroad took an active Interest In the fight, as their road now runs to within about 10 miles of the springs-, and when the line is ex tended, as it eventually will be, the hot springs are likely to become a popular resort. Several months ago Mansfield was offered $30,000 for a half interest in the claim. When the case came before the Land Office the contestant was represented by Judge H. H. Hewitt, of Albany, and Mansfield's attorney was G. G. Bingham, of Salem. Ormsby Is Forest Superinten dent, and It is said that he filed' his protest in the interest of others. He alleged that the entryman had never made J settlement on the claim, never had a residence on the same, and It had never In good faith been his home; that he had never cultivated any part of the land; that the alleged Improvements, were In considerable In vaiue, and were, not made wih any reference to any Improvement of the land: that no settlement or culti vation was made on the lands before they were withdrawn from settlement; that lands embraced In the entry are within (the boundaries of the Cascade forest re serve and not subject to private entry, except by settlement before the setting apart of such reserve and continuous residence since the same were, with drawn: so the cancellation of the entry was prayed for. The Register and Receiver decided In fa vor of the entryman. Their opinion says: "The evidence in this case was volumin ous and contradictory. The evidence of the contestant, however, Is general In Its , character and not so direct and spe cific as that of contestee and his wit nesses. As a. rule witnesses .for contest ant admit only a general knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the case; have made only casual visits, and admit seeing Mansfield at Intervals upon the place, and that he made various Improve ments. Baker and Hughes, both of whom tried to file upon the premises, are the only witnesses who positively deny that MansOeld made any residence or im provements. In this they are contradicted by other witnesses for the contestant. The testimony for the contestee Is posi tive and specific; that of contestant Is general and negative In Its character. In making proof on the claim, Mansfield and his witnesses swear, that his residence has been continuous- for 13 years, and Mans field himself swears that in all that time he was never away from the claim mpre. than three or four months at one nlme, except once when he was sick, when he was away five months". It' is evident, considering the location. of the. claim and the serious Illness of Mansfield and his wife,- that he has worke'd under serious disadvantages, which, in a sense as least, have ehhanded the strength of his posltjon . as an entryman. The evidence covering the 13 years that have elapsed since he first settled on the claim shows In the aggregate much more In the way of residence and cultivation than Is shown by thf majdrity of homestead entrymen making proof on. the public lands. As n every case, there Is some evidence purporting to show want of good faith and want of compliance with the law upon the part of contestee, but the burden of prbof Is always upon the con testant, and a homestead entry cannot be set aside on a mere suggestion or suspicion of non-compliance-- with- the law." The contestant Is given 30 days In which to appeal to the Commissioner of the General Land Office. Threw Rock Throngh Window. ASTORIA, Oct. 20. As last evening's down train on the Astoria & Columbia River Railway was entering Globe, some miscreant threw a rock through a win dow In the chair car. The car was crowded with passengers at the time, but fortunately no one was Injured. The fireman on the engine saw two men sit ting on the embankment beside the track as the train went by, and it is supposed one of them did the act. Catholic Church Dedicated. WOODBURN, Or., Oct. 20.

Howland & Cook have a force of men putting their placer mine in Brass Nail Gulch, in the Jump-Off-Joe district, In shape for the Winter's run. Preliminary work has begun on the Masons' new hall at Echo. Two carloads of lumber taken from the old Masonic Hall at Umatilla have been shipped In. The Blackhawk mine, near Alamo, which was recently sold by H. W. Tracy to Michigan capitalists, is to have a five stamp mill at once, the machinery being now 0n the way. At a meeting of the Monument School Board last week It was decided that new seats, maps, curtains, etc., be purchased and other Improvements In the way of fences and outbuildings be made. Ten more stamps are being installed at the Quebec mine, near Alamo. The com pany has concluded to change the power at tho mill from steam to water, and with that end in view Iras secured a number of water rights. Isaac Guker and R. B. Clayton have re ceived a payment of 53500 on their Fre mont group of mines, which they recent ly sold to the Standard Mining Company, says a Grant County paper. .Th.ilr final payment on the property will be made January 1. C. C. Masten has made arrangements with the Astoria & Columbia River Rail road to establish a flag station at Burn side, 14 miles west of Svensen. Mr. Mas ten has had built a long platform with a protecting rail in the rear and a bench for the accommodation of the public. Quince trees In the Milton district show an excellent yield this Fall. The quinces are larger and somewhat better than last year, and prices are good. Culture of the quince, however, has been almost entirely overlooked In the Walla Walla Valley, and few are seen In stores, unless Imported. School Superintendent Mack, of Grant County, has apportioned the sum of 53200 72 to the various sch'ool districts of Grant County. Of this amount he appor tioned 550 to each district, and 55 for each teacher employed during the past year immediately preceding the apportionment. The rest of the apportionment per cap ita 1 50.5S98 to each child of school age. M. R. Yates and Frank Light have been for some time Interested in perfecting a corn-planter, says a Pendleton paper. They have recently received a model made in Ch'cago after their ideas, which shows the corn-planter as It will be placed on the market. The planter plants corn at dis tances of 3 feet 8 inches to 4 feet apart, being provided with an automatic checker. Work is progressing rapidly at the Virtue mine, near Baker City. A force of 65 men Is employed In replacing ma chinery. Prospecting Is going ahead on tne hill, and preparations are under way for work In the new tunnel, which is now being timbered. The -steam pipes are being fitted, it being the purpose of the owners to heat the office and all mine buildings by steam during the coming Winter. Dan Cawley, who drove the first ahd last stage over Scott Mountain, on the through route from Sacramento to Port land, died at Yreka last week from neu ralgia of the heart. The funeral will be held tomorrow. He was 77 years of age. In the forenoon on the day of his death he visited the vault In tHe cemetery which "he had prepared years ago as his final resting-place.

Jno N Lnch, Besslo M A. B. CROASMAN. P. M. The November elections. New York World, Dem. On tho 5th of November eight states will hold elections. The list, with the result of the vote for President last year, is as follows: Republican pluralities In 1900: Iowa 98.352 Maryland ?. 13,941 Massachusetts Sl,fc59 Nebraska 7.S22 New Jersey 56,b99 Ohio 69.WC Pennsylvania 2SS.133 Democratic: Virginia 30,215 In none of the states carried' by Mr. McKlnley last year have the Democrats any hope of succeeding this year, save In Maryland, where Mr. Gorman ia a can didate for the Senate and Is making a strenuous effort to carry the Legislature. .Nebraska doe3 not enter Into the calcu lation, for In that state, almost alone, the opposition Is stilt Populistic or fusion rather than Democratic. In general it may be said, in the par lance of the politicians, that this is "not a Democratic year." The country is still extraordinarily prosperous. The shock of President McKInley's assassination gives to his party a strong sentimental ad vantage. President Roosevelt has thus far so conducted himself as to win the confi dence, at least tentatively, of the con servative classes, and the general approval of the country. On the other hand the Democrats are without a trusted National leader and are not united upon any distinctive and domi nating National issue. It Is possible that new lines of division may be marked by the action of Congress or the course of the Administration, but at present and for the pending elections the Republicans have things their own way. The municipal elections in this city and In Philadelphia, where a determined effort is making to overthrow a bossism and cor rupt local government, will really excite more general Interest than Is felt in any of the state elections to be held this year. The demand for agricultural Implements In Egypt Is increasing with the progress made in cultivating land. Farmers are rapidly find ing out the value of Improved machinery, and have in use already a number of threshing machines. TRAVELERS GUIDE. -TO- Low Rates to AH Points East.
