A Description of Its Resources John Minto. by SALEM. Or.. Dec 18. (To the Editor.") Permit nK space to express satisfaction .that no bora, flde claimant in the township (ll-7"). muofc in the public eye. has yet been pointed at as bolnp suspectod i wrongdoing in reraxd to tbe attainment of his claims. From a. SO years aoQHalntancc with the k caHfjv the Writer has known of .no land ateaiinr. nor Indeed, any wrongdoing about nes between bona fide claimants. The proc lamation" fcf the -tffpafcl i ercrv did fittise a r umber of good citizens ot this cpunty to nbandon olaims they had bwnm. -chiefly be cause. thouKh they would gladly have bought what ther desired outright, the conditions im posed even to get the right to pay the com rruuuton price has caused a cloud of sus picion to arise around any attempt to get a timbered homostead. It was 30 years on the 4th or July last since a road-viewing- party of 24 citizens of this county named the center of that township, as it has happened. Inde pendence Valley. The writer feels no hesl taiiry in predletlnc that within the coming 30 years It will be tbe legal center of a mountaln-Tc-nnnd county. This party was seeking tho most practical way to the summit of the Cascade range and "beyond for a common rod. which was found up the north side of tho most easterly branch the Santiam River, and namfd the Marion Tta thin part-, and reported upon favorably at the Rueceedlng August term of the Marion nunty rMrt. This survey, known as the Davenport sur v. Is what Is called by railroad men a wa'er Hne. from Mill City to Marlon Lnke. three mites wM from the summit, and 80 jntles from Salem. This water ilnc takes tve C & E. Railroad line Into the center of Independence Valley, very near 3000 feet above wa level. Judging by the exceedingly upeful ttMk Profeenor McAllister and his aides from the State fnlverslty dW last Summer. This 2 !le valley, which would be better or at least more distinctively named by a ,word rn-nlnp the meeting or the waters, as within or near It six forceful streams enter te common channel of the river, which is Itself several ;lme usable for, say, the manu facture of electric force. This makes the township of which this val- is the center very probably the richest !- water power, easily controlled, on the map t f Oregon. As the Hon. J. D. Daly said ot ! o the writer recently, and there Is no man l"i.g had better opportunities to form an opinion f it than he: "It is far from the T' ht townfhlp in timber resources. There ae oe very One timber on the southeast ;uarer f It. and a little near the nnrthwest ' -mer. bu He chief value as a whole Is Us rater powers; and the northern half of it for bee and trait farms." Thirty years ago last July the valley might b vr been called either a game park or a ftrawbeny garden. The writer (was the tint ci his party to enter tbe open portion of It. to find himself eke to a pair of beautiful Wnck, hair-grown bears. Jiusy gathering strawberries. They behaved much like half-wild pigs, one stopping within asy rifle range to take a gertd look at me. This, It will be observed, was the common low ground short-stalked "berry which ueed to ripen at Clatsop Plains rt the same date, and at Salem. 73 miles tv aad 2700 feet lower, the last of May and early June. This valley here Is a limited copy of Hood River as a fruit region, and. with a rtrlp three or six miles wide, covering the railroad line and the river withdrawn from the forest Teserve. .and either a steam or cWtrlo railroad line extended from Detroit to Bend, the Industries thus let in would soon "be ffelpptag strawberries, raspberries, huckle berries aad honey over the summit Into Bast em Oregon, to be followed soon by shipments ' apples, pears and peaches. The cultivable land here is limited, and much of it stony or gravelly on the lowest land. A ridge reach ing out west from the base of Minto Moun tain, aad considerable spaces of the south and southwest slopes of that mountain, extending from the top (estimated 3000 feet above tho riverl to It. Is the reddish soil of gold-mining districts. It Is covered with upland willow, rweet laurel and manzanlta bush good bee pasiure now and good orchard land In the f uture. The lower south face of this mountain arrte 100 acres, perhaps, of half-grown flr of &rt to on years growth, indicating that in the earlj "40s a large forest fire killed a consider able axr of mature forest around and on this mountain Much of the southweat corner of this tewiwthlp. In which are located roost of the name of the homestead applicants sup posed to be fictitious. Is very rough and steep and rocky: on which the timber. If accessible, would not be valuable. Along the river, and especially en the north bank bona fide claims Tier located by men engaged in railroad work l-fore the nuspenslon of the first enterprise. Seme of them yet remain, but still more in township 6 east. Young men of Salem and of Polk County yet hold their ownership, hoping this valley will be utilised as a thoroughfare of commerce into and from the center of the suite, as has been the hope of the writer for S year, aad Is the cause of this writing now. A cursory glance at the assessment rolls of tnts county ahows assessment on land In this valley eaat of Detroit aggregating over $71,000. and many claims In the eastern portion of 11- and east and south of It. located by young business men of Salem, were abandoned aa beforesaJd. rather than fill the requirements aa to 'actual occupancy by men who would yet be glad to pay the -commutation price out right on their application. The Oregonlan's map of the township contains the names of 4S claimants, 12 of whom are supposed to be fictitious, so that, including Mrs. "Watson's tad Mrs, PorterA there are still 31 holdlngb there, and the writer knows of others who purchased or the state. In C EL, some of the holdings reach three miles north of the Daven port survey. I am told by the owners. In explanation of the ease by which these ficti tious occupancies were claimed, tbe intended student should take into account the fact that from a point about eight miles east of where Professor McAllister began his measurements of the river, or 12 miles east of Detroit, to which the railroad line was left ready for the ties, tbe Minto trail, as marked on the map. Is the stock trail of the Marion and "Wasco Stock & "Wagon Road Company, and Is north of the Davenport survey up to the John D. Daly claim, so that there was the drawn-up survey and the river between bona fide settlers like Peasley and the fictitious locations. In addition to the exceeding roughness of the country. Along the Minto trail, where the first claims were made and proven up on. from the crossing of White Water In C east there Is good soli under indifferent timber, till near the west bank of' Pamella Creek; from the east bank of which a fine body of timber on good land reaches into 11-7. and thence three miles of chapparal and half-grown timber to the Daly claim arable soil alt the way to and Including the Gooch claim, which rather oddly seems to have been located to cover Catch's falls, so named by the Dav enport party. This Is In the western edge of what will be 8 east, a magnificent body of timber with the valley of the Marlon arm of ihe river, which for a distance of six mi lbs has more water power running to waste than will suffice to run a double-track electric line from Detroit to Bend. Since see ing the grades in practical operation up which cars go to Portland and "Willamette Heights, the writer has no doubt of the prac ticability of such an enterprise, and If half the expectations from Irrigation of the Cen tral Deschutes valley is realized, the time is ripe for the Legislative Assembly of Oregon to ask Congress for release of at least a threc-mlle-wide right of way through the Cascade forest reserve. To make way for the settlement and clearing of such a strip would be the wisest protection against the running of a forest fire along the west slopes of the range and would encourage settlement along the summit ridge. Already some of these lake beds are claimed In good faith for homes, and the time Is ripening for more to be occupied and utilized Just aa are the mountains of Switzerland as high up as grass will grow; and that Is above the tim ber line on the Cascades. To have these open spaces so occupied and approved would be one means of Inviting more people to go to tbe mountains for a Summer rest From the time of the Davenport survey this has been done by some of the best people of the writer's acquaintance, and is so In creasing that landless people see inviting opportunities for settlement by Summer boarding. Those who have never been on the higher ranges have little, conception of the number of lakes and swamps there are near the .sum mits, the latter being merely, filled up lake beds. Between township 11 south, range 7 cast, and the summit there are many bodies of land or this kind and small lakes filling up at their heads. Many of these could he easily and cheaply converted Into grass farroe. that are yet largely water at the end of Sum mer. They and the springs which rise lower down are what maintains the flow of streams In late Summer. On September IS, 1664. John Bryant, of Gordon Valley, looking for a Toadway from Quartzvtlle to the Deschutes, wrote In his Journal on top of a cone-shaped butte on the summit about three miles south of lit. Jefferson: "From here we can count 1C lakes. Twelve on the west aide and four on the east elde." One of the 12 was Marion Lake and all the others lay north of the Marion branch of the Santiam and south ot Mt. Jefferson, a district mainly clear of Um ber for the past hundred years or more. In dustrious Highland Scotchmen would deem this district a paradise. It has Highland climate. JOHN MINTO. -FINE FOWLS ON VIEW TODAY. Oregon Poultrymen's Association to Open Annual Exhibit. Tho annual exhibit of the Oregon Poultrymen's Association opens this morning at the northwest corner of Third and Taylor streets. There are 750 entries of chickens alone and a con siderable number of pigeons and cats. All but the cats arrived yesterday and soon filled every one of the coops. The exhibition has better situation and con veniences than any-held within the last few years. These exhibitions are always well regulated and well attended. The show Is open to all comers. There will be on view today and for a week to come chickens from all over tho Northwest and British Columbia and some from California. There have also been brought in from tho East prize winners at St. Louis and others which have taken prizes at the chicken shows of Chicago and New York. Most of the exhibitors are from this state, where some very fine birds are raised. The outsiders will have no more of a chance than the home fanciers. The stale is full of good breeds of birds, and the best of them are now on exhibition at the poultry show. White Plymouth Rocks are the larg est class of birds exhibited, but there are almost as many Barred Plymouth Bocks, buff Orpingtons and Whlto Wy andot tes. In ajl these classes there aro a large number of breeders exhibiting. And there Is considerable rivalry anion? them, especially those In Oregon and Washington. They have competed at Salem and Corvallis recently and aro all ager to lako prizes. It means money In their pockets to win at a big poultry show. The exhibition will open each day at 8 o'clock and will close at 10 in the evening. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Marriage Licenses. Harry K. Senour. 38; Anna H. Morehouse. 35. Go&rge W.

HOLDS THE OFFIGE E. Shelley Morgan Is Still T. P. A. Secretary. TERM EXPIRES ON DEC. 31 He Ha3 Not Yet Tendered Resigna tion, but Has Written Letter An nouncing He Will Not Be Candidate Again. There is no vacancy in the secretary ship of the Oregon Division of the Travelers' Protective Association, and E. Shelley Morgan, the present incum bent, will hold the office until after the annual meeting- on December 31, and perhaps longer, according to the statements of those high In the coun cils of the board of directors and prom inent In the work of the organization. Although the dove of peace has not entirely settled all of the factional dif ferences in the division, it Is stated that Mr. Morgan Is still the secretary and will continue to be, and that he has done nothing wrong or unauthor ized by the board of directors. Mr. Morgan himself has views on the sub ject and states them. "On returning to the city on Sunday evening," he said, "I was greatly sur prised to read that I had resigned from the secretaryship of the Travelers' Protective Association, and I want to say that I have not. "I also want to say that the state ment to the efTect that I had tried to sell out my division to the Iowa State Travelers' Association Is false, and that I will cover all of that ground fully In my report to the annual meet ing to be held in Portland on Decem- ber 31. That Is the time and place forLpenalty was committed on June 24 when such matters to be discussed, as thevTthe stage running between Whitney and such matters to be discussed, as they are things In which the members of the division alone are interested." Not Candidate for Re-Election. Robert L. Darrow, chairman of the board of directors of the Oregon Divi sion, throws some additional Tight on the trouble. In his posesslon Mr. Dar row has the letter written by Mr. Mor gan which was mentioned by him in the meeting of Saturday night, and taken to have been a resignation. This letter is a statement from Mr. Morgan to the effect that since the duties of the office have grown to such propor tions as they have, he is disinclined to retain the office longer under the present salary. He had further deter mined a year ago that he would do all in his power for the election of a friend who would like to have the office. This letter was written before It was known that tho members of the National board were coming to the Coast, Mr. Darrow, In discussing the tangle, has no censure for the secretary. "Mr. Morgan is a perfectly honest man," he said, "and has the best in terests of the association at hearts. What he has done, whether with pr without the sanction or direction of the board of directors, was done from an honest motive. All men are prone to make mistakes, and If Mr. Morgan has made a mistake, it was a mistake and nothing more. After the last Na Tales of the Street and Town vyrijrHEN a man "wants to dc icion- first," said an elderly merchant of North Second street. In comment on the so-called Chinese reform, movement, "You likum clgah? Him good one, smoke um youself. Two-bit no give um 'way. Yeh! I tell you! Chinese Lefohm Society plltty good thing.

He paused and allowea his eyes to twinkle about over his flock, then added: "All sisters having a crowning glory now hidden under a bushel (more or less) of feathers, straw and ribbon will please remove the bushels. Meanwhile the ushers will pass around the night caps. Please do not put Into them any larger sums than jou can afford." After the bustle had subsided, the preacher stepped forward to the edge of the platform and held aloft what ap peared to be a letter. An expectant hush fell like an Invisible blanket over the flock. "I have here a letter which I received the other day. It is a peculiar letter, an Interesting letter. I regretted at first that the good brother who wrote. It neg lected to sign It for I wanted to answer it In person. I would have liked to have spoken privately to the good brother, but as no name was attached I decided to read It to my congregation that my reply might then fall upon the long ear of the good brother. My confidential committee, to whom I showed the letter, advised me to withhold the letter, saying that as It was abusive, unjust and of evil Inspira tional convention, the Oregon Division was very rabid in Its antagonism to the action of tho National convention. It passed resolutions, not understand ing the matter, -and the personal efforts of many of the members are responsi ble for anything done by the secre tary. Not Deserving of Censure. "I do not consider that Mr. Morgan should receive the least censure for what he has done. I am certain that he has not tendered his resignation.' You have read for yourself the letter writ ten by him to me, and it Is simply a proposition that he Is not able to re tain the office unless there Is more salary attached to It. He has not re signed and will not. His office will ex pire December 31, and at that time he may he re-elected or some one else may secure the office, but Mr. Morgan will not resign his office in the mean time. I would not, as the chairman of the board, consider the resignation, and I think that the board would decline to receive It." E. M. Brannjck, one of the promi nent members of the division. Is also on the side of the secretary- "I think that Mr. Morgan ought to be sustained in his action." he said. "I think that he ought to be sustained In writing the letters, for he was writ ing them under orders received at the meeting of the division In July. He wrote them for his own instruction, and In what he thought to be the ful fillment of his duty as a secretary and a loyal member of the Oregon Division of the . Travelers' Protective Associa tion." The question will be finally settled at the annual meeting of the Onegon Division, which Is to be held In the parlors of the Portland Hotel on De cember 31. DO NOT LOOK THEIR PART. Mild-Mannered Youths on Trial for Daring Stage Hold-Up. The trial of J. B, Hanson and John !. Ledford, charged with the hold-up of a staze and the robbery of the United States mail was begun In the Federal Court yesterday. The crime for which the Government expects to make these defendants pay the nnlng between Whitney Canyon City, Eastern Oregon, was held up, the stage driver and two passengers robbed and the mall sacks ransacked. A jury "was secured without trouble and seven witnesses examined during the day. Of these Ben Travis was the principal witness. He positively identified the pris oners as the two men Who committed the hold-up. A point which will be brought out by the prosecution and which is expected to have considerable bearing with the jury Is that two pistols were found In - the possession of Hanson and Ledford when they were arrested. These weapons are of a distinctive make and were ordered from Tacoma a few days before the crime. Hanson and Ledford are youthful In appearance and do not possess the air of bravado to be looked for In real, bad highwaymen. They are far from coming up to the dime-novel standard. The trial will probably be concluded to day. SIG SICHEL & CfX, 92 THIRD ST. Pipe racks, Stein racks, ornamental and useful. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Rnbr Is Cutting Teetb.

My friends, his rpply shows how things sometimes come about: " 'Why.' said, he, 'I can tell you who wrote that letter. He repeated those same phrases to me only the other day, and he said several other things which no doubt he has written also.' "And forthwith my visitor repeated the 'other things' which were almost word for word as further written In that letter. Then I learned the literary brother's name!" (Pronounced sensation through out the flock. The preacher here spread out the letter, smilingly, and seemed about to read it He'hesltated a moment: then, smiling still, refolded the letter and re turned It to his breast pocket) "I won't read the letter now. but. as Sam Jones once said: When you throw a stick Into a crowd of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that Is hit' " WHERE is the" chlldren's-toy de V partment?" asked a worried looking woman In the hustling crowd of a local department store yesterday.

TRAGEDY Involving the life of a pet kitten came near occurring In a lo cal household one morning recently. The young couple had lately undertaken house keeping, and the wife had determined to gladden the husband's heart and palate with hot biscuits. She deftly mixed a fine batch, rolled it out, moulded the dough and set the results Into the oven. Just then she discovered the Are was out and the oven about cold. In her haste to re build the fire she neglected to shut the oven door. Presently the Are was stnrted and when it began to "draw" merrily, she closed the oven door and went about other house hold duties. In a very few moments she returned to the kitchen and was startled by a muffled but agonized "meowing." It was evi dently the kitten in distress. The lady sought under the sink, in the sugar-barrel, the flour-bin, the cupboard and other places, the cries of the poor kitty each Instant growing more appeallngly awfuL Suddenly she thought of the oven door. Next Instant a frantic and very hot kitten was released. With tall bristling as large as Its body, it sped out tho rear entrance of the house and sought coolness by tear ing across the garden In the pouring rain. iCf, SAW the nicest thing on my car last I night," said Mr. Samuel, enthusias tically. "A lady a mother got on the car with two of the nlcest-looltlng little boys (one about 10 and the other about S). Pretty soon two little girls got on by themselves. What did those two little boys do? Without anything being; said to them, they both jumped up and offered their seats to the little girls as polite as you please. Now. I say their mother Is a lady, isn't she?

Want Dairy Law Amended to Provide Regulations for Sale of Milk. In Cities. The Dairymen's Association which meets during the next two days in Odd Fellows' Hall, at First and Alder streets, will be well attended, as the members all have a personal Interest in the arranging of a suitable dairying exhibit, for the Lewis and Clark Fair, a matter which will come up before the meeting. This will be a matter of considerable importance, as this Is becoming a leading dairying state and that portion of Its resources should be well shown. There are also a number of important changes to be suggested to the Legisla ture regarding the present dairying laws. One of the mOst Important of these Is to provide for the regulations of dairies sell ing milk In the cities. It is suggested that they be regularly Inspected by the Food and Dairy Commissioner and that he Issue a certificate which they must have. The State Dairymen's Association now has a very large membership, ' springing from a small nucleus 13 years ago. The present president Is William Schumerick, of Farralngton, who has served ably for two years. It Is believed, however, that he wishes to lay down the office. Profes sor F. L.

When closely questioned at the station by Chief Hunt and Captain Moore, Griffin gave the names of George Fisher and Vard Cascadden who, he declared,- were with him at the time of the theft Warrants will be Issued for their arrest today, the police say. Continual complaints have been laid with the police of late by people whose hrit'v o hnvo r" Tn,',,,nted l? -"v believed that at least three of the boys guilty of the repeated thefts and vandal Ism arc caught. "Far too much of this stealing from holly trees has been going on," said Chief Hunt "Wo must put a stop to it. When a man has a nice tree of holly he greatly dislikes to have boys mutilating It" THE WORD ''SCANDINAVIAN." POP.TLArCD. Dec. 19.-(To the Editor.) Tne word "Scandinavian" U applied geologically to the peninsula between the Baltic Sea and Atlantic Ocean; also to the chain of moun tains that divide Norway from Sweden. In ever' other sense the meaning U generic, and never specific as applied to race, language and political divisions. Ethnologlcally, a Scandinavian may be a Swede, Norwegian. Dane. Swedish Finn or Icelander. These people form an offshoot of the great Aryan race sometimes wronsly called Caucasian. They are closest related to the Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon, and less so to the Latins. They aro perhaps the purest type of the Aryan race In Europe today. Phllologlcally. Scandinavian includes the Danish. Swedish. Norwegian and Icelandic. It Is a branch of the Germanic family of Ar yan languages. There Is no one language by that name. A man may speak a Scandinavian language, but not the Scandinavian language. It might be noted here that the Swedes speak Swedleh. not Swede, which only refers to the Individual, and not to his language. It might alw be stated parenthetically that the Ger mans do not speak Dutch, nor the English Anglo-Saxon. They speak 'German and Eng lish. Politically, the word Scandinavian is only misleading, and Is out of place. There is no such thing now. if there ever was. So, when we read about the Prince of Scandinavia and MIm Roosevelt, we are at sea. There are only two royal houses In Scandinavia the Danish at Copenhagen and the Swedish-Norwegian at Stockholm. Iceland being a colony of Denmark. Perhaps it Is not of very much interest to us who marries Mira Roosevelt, or who mar ries an heir apparent. To the student It is of Interest only for Ita novelty. For a long time no European heir apparent has married outside of royalty. When the third son of the present King of Sweden insisted on marrying Miss Munck a lady of blue blood for generations the groom had to renounce forever any claim to the throne. Personally. Mis. R. Is very likely the equal of any royal Princess under the blue canopy of heaven, yet in the eyea of royalty and the nobility she Is a commoner, although her father Is temporarily President of a. Re public. If Miss R. aaplrea to a throne.' and to marry Gustavua. she would certainly not lower herself In any sense, as has been don by so many American girls who have married foreign titles, for the royal family of Sweden Norway Is abovj any of the scandals usually surrounding human thrones. E. B. The terms "Scandia," "Scandinavia." are not native to the race to which they are applied. They came Into literature through Pliny, a noted Roman author, who lived in the first century of our era, and perished In the erup tion of Vesuvius, which overwhelmed Pom pell, A. D. 70. By him the terms were used In a very Indefinite way; for geographical knowledge then was very limited. Pliny thought of Scandia. or Scandinavia, as a large Island. How he got the name no one knows any more than we know how Jonathan Carver got the name Oregon. Don't wait until you are sick before try ing Carter's Little Liver Pills, but get a vial at once.
