10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, 'MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1901. AMONG THE CLUBWOMEN! "WHAT WOMEX WORKERS ARE DO IXG TO HELP THEIR NEIGHBORS. Distinction Between a Club That Hai "Ccnaed to Be" and One That Has "Failed.' "Club Endings" Is the subject of a bright editorial In a recent number of "The Club Worker," the official paper of the National league of Women Workers. Araong other things, it says: Vry often the failure of the club comes from the lack of "helpers." When the burden of work is carried by a few thoir strength is soon overtaxed, and as no others have been trained to take their places the club must die. If a club ceases to xist for this reason it may -well be called a failure; but If its work is done better by larger organizations, better equipped for the work. It cannot be called a failure; the plaoe of the club Is now filled by others, and we do not regret its Uas when its members go Into wider opportunities and larger fields of thought and work This makes the excellent distinction between b. club tvhloh has "ceased to be" and a club which has "failed," a distinction which seldom Is appreciated. v Our clubs should bo "centers of unselfish power" In their community, standing for the best, regardless of their own temporary suc cess. The writer seems to have caught the spirit and Intent of club -work, which never was to carry on great enterprises. Its mission has been and should remain the "center of unselfish power," from 'hich should emariate the best thoughts, the best ideas and the best methods for carrying them out. Veritable Marthas should clubs be, "troubled about many things," by which to make the every day Jlfe more wholesome and pure, creating also desires for greater opportunities, and when they come relinquishing even the best-beloved project Into tho hands of those who can carry them to greater suc coss than the limited resources of the 'average club can do. For the club or de partment to give over some work it has started to others who can make it a greater good to a greater number, can. in no sense be called a failure. The score fe on tho other side, even if every trace of the club or personalities of those who Tbave created it are entirely lost in its final success; yet there is no phase of club work which causes so many heart burnings or requires so much self-relin-guishment as being "regardless of our own temporary euccess." The true club spirit is that of the faithful steward who used to advantage the talents entrusted to him, content to wait till the end of the journey when the Master returned, to receive the reward, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Caucusing: for President. One of the most soul-stirring, if not edifying, features of the biennial in May, will be the necessity for electing a hew set of officers and, of course, all others pale before the presidency. There are three prominent candidates (made so, of course, by their friends): Mrs. Dennlson, of New York, who was the acting presi dent during Mrs. Lowe's absence in Europe; Mrs. Decker, of Denver, who has always been the moving spirit in the Woman's Club of that city, and Mrs. Burdette, of Los Angeles, president of the California Federation, and wife of "Bob," whom everybody knows. Massa chusetts has not named a candidate yet, but she can be depended on to be on tho forward deck, backing up somebody when the time comes. The East and South have both been represented in the presidency and the West is clamorous for recogni tion "and ought to have It,' the Denver News very naturally thinks. The dele gates from Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, will go to Los An geles together on a special train, and, as they all go Instructed to cast a solid vote for a Western candidate, some caucusing may be predicted. Women "Workers of Union, Or. Although Union has one of the strong est, brightest and most helpful clubs in the state, and one that has ever been readiest to uphold the Federation in whatever good work it undertook, it did not require a Woman's Club to call forth the energy and working ability of these good women. In the early '00s Mr. Nodine, a large property-owner of Union, deeded to the school directors and their successors a tract of land to be used as a free ceme tery, with the proviso that no lots were to be sold. This prohibited the raising of funds from that source, for the im provement of the grounds. The day after Christmas, 1863. a few old settlers gathered to lay to rest a young wife, the first inhabitant of this dreary place. In the bleak Winter the men labored to dig through the rock and hard gravel to make a grave, and when the body was Anally lowered and the grave filled, rocks were piled on top to keep it from being dosecrated by the coyotes, and there still remains that mute monument to early times. Not being able to procure a title to lot3, for years little Individual work was done until the uncared-for condition of the place grew Intolerable to wives and mothers who had to lay away their dear ones in this uncanny place, and the women arose in their might. Their first active work was to give a strawberry festival to raise money to put the graves in better condition. The financial suc cess of this effort was so great that it became an annual affair. With money thus raised a man was employed at times during the Summer to clear and clean the grounds. Seeing little could be done without water, two energetic women can vassed the town and raised enough money to lay pipes throughout the cemetery. A cemetery association was then formed. As time went on, by a succession of lunches, socials, and all those things earnest women, from time Immemorial, have found efficacious in raising money with, they were able to employ a man steadily for six months. After this first Summer's work there was such a marked Improvement and the man proved so faith ful and efficient that he has been in the constant employ of the association ever since. The grounds not having been surveyed during the first years of burial, there was no regularity about the graves, but after the lots wore laid off the women had to have many bodies re-interred at their own- expense, and now regular, well kept walks traverse the grounds. By their efforts they have always paid the salary of the sexton, besides having built a handsome ornametal little toolhouse; planted trees and shrubs, and put flow ers on every grave. It Is safe to say that in, all of Oregon thore is no such boautlful, wall-kept cemetery, where rich and poor have equal claim, their title given them by a man, but by tho love and work of the women of Union hallowed and beautified, and truly made God's acre. Southern Club Journal. "The Southern Woman" is a bright, clever, eight-page paper, published twice a month by the Clubwoman's Publishing Company, of Atlanta, Ga., an incorporat ed association. The paper is owned and edited exclusively by the executive board of the Georgia Federation, and is the official organ of 26,000 women, with a large outside subscription list. This is the only state federation owning and operating its own paper. It is certainly filling a want and should be generously supported, not only in the South, but snwng clubwomen generally, for it is aMy edited, weli conducted and full of bright, interesting matter to all club werkars. It need not be said "it has hung its banner on the outer wall," and "no darky need apply" The Persistence of Children. The club department of an Eastern paper recently intimated that children's itrest in village improvement was oasHy aroused but difficult to hold. The Montclair, N. J., Club refutes this By saying their children's auxiliary has ex isted seven years and has steadily in creased In Interest, having now a member ship of 1100, which has accomplished won derful work in the way of street cleaning and Improving the unsightly school grounds. We know of no Oregon Club that has untilized this busy branch of little work ers. Mrs. Bingham Recovering. The friends of Mrs. E. W. Bingham will be pleased to learn that she is rapid ly recovering from the severe illness which has retained her at St Vincent's Hospital for the past two weeks. Mrs. Bingham is a charter member of the club, and has just concluded a three years' term as director. Her bright, attractive personality has been missed in the club gatherings this year. Women Parliamentarians.

TO HONOR PATRON SAINT. St. Andrew's Society Is Preparing for Its Annnal Celebration. The St Andrew's Society is making big preparations to celebrate St. Andrew's day on November 30, and instead of a banquet, a smoker and concert will be held. The programme Is not yet com pleted, but President Alexander H. Kerr has appointed these committees to attend to the details: Alexander H. Blrrell, chairman pro gramme, Robert Livingstone, W. Honey- l man, A. M. Wright, W. E. Scott, W. Mackenzie and William Denholm. Re freshments, M. Pickens, K. K. Baxter, George Black, and P. A. Murray. Hall and invitations. J. C. Stuart, W. R. Mac kenzie, A. H. Blrrell and Alexander Gavin. The election of officers for the ensuing year occurs on November 19. President Kerr has made an excellent presiding officer during the past two terms, and although his friends have asked that he again serve, an unwritten law of the so ciety states that no president shall serve more than a period of two terms, and Mr. Kerr has told his friends that while he is willing to do all he can for thev society, the time has arrived to choose hl9 successor. Among the names that have been suggested for the office, the most prominent is that of A. H. Blr rell, and if he consents he will undoubt edly be elected. Mr. Blrrell has been vice president for two terms and has dis played an active and kindly Interest in all the affairs of the society. William Anderson has resigned as secretary, ow ing to his removal from the city, and Alexander Wright is mentioned as his successor. At the recent quarterly meting of the St. Andrew's Society, President Kerr pre siding, the affairs of the organization were shown to be In excellent shape. The Carnegie library committee, Robert Livingstone, Walter Honeyman, A. H. Blrrell, James Laidlaw and William Mac kenzie, made their report. Correspon dence between President Kerr and Mr. Carnegie was read, relating to Mr. Car negie's offer of $100,000 to establish a li brary In this city, and the steps taken by which the Portland Li brary Association offered to prosent its building and books to the. proposed free public library, were outlined. During the past two years the society has more than doubled its membership, and today it- has the largest number of members since organization was effected. The treasury was never so well filled as now, although numerous cases where financial aid was required among deserv ing and destitute Scotch have been at tended to. One of the welcome features of the new constitution and by-laws Is that portion which has decreed that there shall be a social meeting every three months, to make members better ac quainted with each other. Light refresh ments are served, and song and story follow fast after each other. The ex penses are paid from the social fund, as the regular funds of the society are only used for charitable purposes. One of the features of the season was the election of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, of Pittsburg, as a life member. Mr. W. M. Kerr, of Philadelphia, was also elected an honorary member, along with Mr. Carnegie for gifts to the society to be used in benevolent work. The members of the relief committee, Walter Honeyman, Robert Livingstone and William Macken zie, have discharged their- duties with tact and zeal. NEWS OF THE ARMY. Movements of Men Well Known In the Northwest. In the Fourteenth Infantry, now sta tioned in the Department of the Lakes, Captain Henry C. Cabell has been trans ferred to Company E, at "Fort Snelllng, Minn., and Captain Fred W, Sladen has been transferred to Company B. at Fort Wayne, Ind. Captain John S. Mallory, formerly sta tioned at Vancouver, is now undergoing surgical treatment at Washington Bar racks. Lieutenant Henry M. Morrow, formerly woli known In Portland, has been trans ferred from the Fourth Infantry to the Ninth cavalry. Captain William J. Lutz, Twenty-eighth Infantry, Vancouver Barracks, has been granted one month's leave of absence. Captain F, B, McKenna will, upon the ex piration of his present leave, report to the commanding general. Department of tho Lakes, at Chicago, III., for temporary duty. Captain William R.

FOR GOOD OF OREGON (Continued from Ninth Page.) way of the Cascades lock and canal, a distance of 190 miles. Between Dalles City and Celllo the river Is obstructed for' 13 miles. Between Celllo and the foot of Priest Rapids, a distance of 198 mlle3, tho river Is navigable under favorable condi tions. The Snake is navigable from Rl paria to Lcwlston, a distance of 73 miles, and under favorable conditions, from Ri parja to its mouth, a distance of 67 miles. With some Improvement, the cost of which would be Justified by the area that would be served, and its industries, the Columbia could be made freely naviga ble from Dalles City to the foot of Priest Rapids, a distance of 210 miles, and the Snake for tho 10 miles of its course from Its mouth to Lewlston. This would - o OF FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH. add 3&0 miles to the navigable waters of the Columbia and its tributaries. It would open a natural trade route for all of Norihern Oregon, all of Southern Washington and the greater part of East ern Washington, and nearly all of West ern Idaho, particularly the rich Lewlston region. Some ill-informed persons have insisted that because no vast development of country and no large increase of river carriers followed the opening of the locks at the Cascades, the Govern ment would not be warranted in spend ing the amount of money that would be required to make navigation free on tho Upper Columbia and the Snake. This Is a narrow view to take of so Impor tant a project and one that has no foun dation In fact. Prior to the completion of the Cascade Locks, the Columbia be tween tho mouth of tho Willamette and Dalles City was navigable for all the distance that it is now navigable except the short stretch obstructed at the Cas cades. In 1S91 the State of Oregon built a portage railway around the Cascades ob struction and operated it until the Gov ernment opened the locks in 1S96. The portage railway gave the producers of the district tributary to Dalles City the re lief that they had long Bouglit water transport for their products. The locks gave the same relief to the same region, but in greater degree, In that Government service made an end of cargo breaking at the portage. Of the two reaches of the Columbia that are divided by tho Dalles Celilo obstructions the stretch westward from Celllo to tho Cascades, and the stretch eastward from Celllo the last named is by far the more important. For it Is not westward from Dalles City to the Cascades that the great food-producing fields of the Inland Empire He, but eastward of Dalles City, in the re gion up to the foot of Priest Rapids on the Columbia, and up to Lewlston on the Snake. Here in Oregon, Washington and Idaho will originate the bulk of the traffic that will come down the Columbia when it is a free river. The Cascade locks opened only 31 miles of river be tween the Cascades and Dalles City. The overcoming of tho obstructions at Celllo would open 350 miles of river. This is the difference between the two projects. To bring about the opening of the Colum bia and the Snake, the business men of Portland will have to unite In their own behalf and join hands with the producers and merchants of the Inland Empire. Benefits nf Cascade Locks. As proof of tho benefit that has ac crued to the shippers of a large section FRONT ELEVATION OF NEW of the Columbia River country, and to the merchants of Portland, since ahe open ing of the river to. The Dalles, we have only to point to the large reduction In rates of freight on -merchandise, both on the railroad and on the river steamers, since the opening til the Cascade Locks in 1E95. Compared with the rates in effect In 1893, the present tariff the Western classification which Is used jointly by the rail and water lines, shows a reduction in some classes of over EO per cent, and in one oiass of over 70 per cent. Following are the railroad rates In effect at the different periods referred to, the same be ing in cents per 100 pounds: April 1, April 2, April 1, Class. 1893. 1 (less than carloads).. 45 2 (less than carloads).. 43 3 (less than carloads).. 42 4 (less than carloads).. 37 5 (carload lots) 36 A (carload lots) 31 B (carload lots) 20 C (carload lots) 13 D (carload lots) 12 B (carload lots) 11 183. 1899. 30 30 25 25 20 20 15 12 10 20 18 15 10 15 18 12 10 m V Tho tariff of April 1. 1S99. Is now in ef feet on the rail line and Is used, as has been said, by the steamboat company which Is operating between Portland and The Dalles. Even river tariffs have been lessened since the locks were opened, as will bo seen by the following comparison of rates in effect before the opening of the locks and now: Date 1 2 3 4 5 A Nov. 1, 1S06 SO 25 20 18 15 20 Nov. 1, 1901 25 20 18 15 10 15 Advertise. Oregon's Reource. Somo systematic and far-reaching meth od of advertising the resources of Oregon in the East and abroad must be adopted for the ensuing year. At present the work is carried on in a desultory way by several organizations, among them this associa tion, but there Is no concentrated effort on -this line. The edition of the booklet entitled "The Resources of the State of Oregon," published by the state under the general appropriation act of 18S9, will be exhausted before the end of the present year, and there will then be no descrip tive literature, except that published by private firms, which is not available to this association, to send to persons in the East who inquire about Oregon with a view to coming hero to live. Present in dications are that there will be more in quiry about Oregon next year than ever before in the history of tho state, and we believe that If the proper course is pursued in the matter of compiling and publishing descriptive literature and dis tributing it, Oregon will gain largely in population the coming year. Of all the habitable regions of the world, where all the favorable conditions of life are pres ent, the basin of the Columbia River is the most undeveloped and unsettled. But its time has come, for people living in those sections of the East where crops fail, where Winters are long and cold and the Summers excessively hot, are looking this way for homes. Oregon can get her share of these newcomers for the effort. If this association receives from the busi ness men and property-owners of Port land tho necessary support, it will under take to publish a comprehensive handbook L on thB general resources of Oregon, to- getner wun an account of the resources by counties, and such other, information as will prove helpful to the man In the Mississippi Valley or tho Atlantic Coast who ts looking to the West for a home. Thl? book can be prepared and be ready for distribution early in the Spring. In due time an estimate of the cost of car rying on this advertising work will be submitted and this association will ask all interested In making known the re sources of the state to contribute a small proportion. We are at tho beginning of an era of great things and we should not neglect the least opportunity that is of fered to us. The Chamber of Commerce, by its board of trustees.

FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH. en WILL SETTLE IN OREGON ILLINOIS STOCKMAN CONSIDERS THIS AN IDEAL STATE. Tired ot the Cold Winters and Dry Hot Summers of the Mid . die West. H. R. Alverson, a stockralser of Rock ford, 111., Is in Portland, with a view to locating In Oregon. He has become tired of the long cold Winters and dry hot Summers of Northern Illinois, and has concluded to try cattle-raising where the conditions are much more favorable. "It takes us six months to raise fod der for our Btock," he said last evening at the Perkins, "and the other six months wo are engaged In feeding it out, so we havo the pitchfork In our hands the year round. Besides this, land is worth $100 an aero back there, and a stockralser Is obliged to have too much money unvested for the amount of profit derived. For the last five years no rain to speak of has fallen in our locality during the Summer, and these dry spells cut down our crops of hay and corn. Yet, In splto of this, some of our stockmen have made money, as we have a good market In Chicago for all the beef and pork wo can put into con dition." Mr. Alverson has heard how kind Na ture Is to Oregon stockmen, and since his arrival here he finds the reports verified through conversation with Oregon cat tle and sheepraisers. He thinks condi tions favor the man who lets his stock roam over the hills all the year round, while the grass remains green and nutri tious, as in Western Oregon, and he finds that the stockmen east of the mountains are not obliged to Invest many thou sands of dollars in pasture lands, as is the case In Illinois. He realizes that a Small Strln nf ihnan irnllrtv lnnrl le nil hnt is needed out here to raise fodder for qulto a largo band of stock, and that this fodder may not be called into requisi tion at all during the year, an sno enough to hide the bunohgrass seldom falls, except in the higher altitudes. The bulk of the pasture lands in Eastern Ore gon still belong to the Government, which exacts no charges for its use, so tho money that would otherwise be laid out in land can be invested in stock and be made to bring much quicker returns. Taxes, too, are made light, 'on account of the existence of free range. Mr. Alverson laughed yesterday when he heard people complaining of cold weather. "Wo would consider this a beautiful Spring day In Illinois," he said, "and 1 can't understand how people can complain of such weather. When I left Rockford Sunday laBt, the thermometer registered below zero, the temperature having dropped 75 degrees within 15 hours. All through Iowa- the plains were covered With snow, and there was every indica tion that Winter had set in for good. It seems queer to find the hills and valleys green with grass at this time of year, and hear people complaining of tho cold when thore hasn't been frost enough to kill the tomato vines." He will probably decide to purchase a stock farm In the Willamette Valley before returning East. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Haverly's Minstrels nt the Mnrqnam Tonight. The new Haverly's mastodon minstrels opens an engagement of two nights at the Marquam Grand Theater tonight. Something heretofore unknown with a minstrel' attraction is a full scenic environ ment and electrical features, which bring this company up to a high standard, and the performance verges on the spectacu lar. The comedians aro many, headed by George Wilson, who has long since earned a very enviable position in the minstrel field. Other clever ones are: Eddie Smith, Eddie Mazier, Tony Conley, William Gould, Francis Southcrland, Larry Brown. John Morton, Edwin Piatt, Will Mack and others. Sale of Scats for Italian Band. The sale of seats is now open nt the box office of the Marquam Grand Theater for the four concerts Mr. Channine Ellery'o Royal Italian Band are to give In this city. Tuesday and Thursday nights the concerts will be given In the Exposition Building, Wednesday matinee and night in the Marquam Grand Theater. Ensrcnlc Blair. After a tour of the large Eastern cities, Eugenie Blair, supported by a well-selected company, 4&-111 be seen In this city at the Marquam Grand Theater, next Thursday night and Saturday matinee in "Camille": Frida ' md Saturday nights In "Peg WofllnbLon." This version of the play of "Peg Wofflngton" was writ ten especially for Miss Blair, affording her a most excellent opportunity to cre ate a role. The dramatization was made by Mr. Wendell Allison Hobart, from Charles Reade's great story, and the work of staging the production was effected under the personal supervision of the star. Miss Blair's conception of tho role of the unfortunate heroine in "Camille" is favorably known. Her presentation of this difficult part, on which the fame of many an actress depends, has received the commendation of tho leading critics of the country. In MJs3 Blair's support will be Ecen Miss Eleanor Montcll, a lead ing woman of radiant beauty, and Mr. Vaughan Glaser, who enjoys the enviable reputation through his successes as a star In romantic roles. The sale of seats will open tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. AFFAIRS AT POOR FARM. Pauper Died With 9725 Certificate Superintendent's Report. The report of the Poor Farm for the month of October, filed by Superintendent Hanson, shows that the total expenses were 51279. The salaries were $554, of which the superintendent received 5100; matron, 525; County Physician, $50; cook, $40; druggist, $25; laundryman, $25; stew ard, $15; baker, $25; driver, $25; teamster, $20; wood choppers, $54; and five nurses, respectively. $45, $20. $20f $30 and $10. The County Physician receives an additional $100 per month which Is charged to an other account. The number of Inmates October 1 was 132; number received during the month, 42; discharged, 19; died, 7. The number In the institution November 1 was 14S. Margaret Alice Bryan, 67 years old, who died after having been at the Poor Farm only a few days, was found to havo a cer tificate of deposit for $725 sowed In her skirt. She entered as a pauper. All of the Indigent sick are now taken care of at the County Hospital, and there are no bills from outside hospitals, which in former years sometimes reached as high as $100 per month. '' VANDALS INJURE TREES. Nuth earing: Tree Suffer From Throwing- of Stones and Stick. Persons wlv have nutboarlng trees on their premises and there are quite a number of such trees about town, English walnuts, black wal nuts, chestnuts, both Italian and American, and almonds, both hard and Boft-srellcd re anxiously looking for a frost In order to bring the nuts down. So far the trees have showered down prin cipally sticks ?ind stones which the boys r.ave fired Into them. On the old Dekum risldence property are two English walnut trees, from which over ftte bushels of excellent nuts have been gathered, and from beneath which onougft sticks and stones have boon cpl lected to make a winter's supply of fuel and build a stone wall six feet high. It was not deemed Judicious In this case to wait for a frost to bring the nuts down, as the probability seemed to be that be fore it came the nuts, trees and all would be knocked down. It is rather trying to the owners of fine nutbearing trees to sec them made a tar get for missiles of all sorts from the time the nuts get big enough to be seen to ti time they have all disappeared from sight, but the boys will have it so, and the owners can only console themselves with tfcs old saying that A woman, a dos and a chestnut tree. The more they are beaten the better they be. This was true when it was firSt written, but probably the women and the dogs of these days will dispute it. Denied by Morgan. NEW YORK Nov. 10.
