An Apology to Those Who Attended
Our First Great Annual "Baby Show"
We were simply overwhelmed at the interest manifested in our Baby Show. About 500 seats were
reserved and preparations were made to care for that number, but at the last minute, despite the
unfavorable condition of the weather, over 700 babies were brought to the show. Therefore, we
were obliged to inconvenience some and disSappoint others in our efforts to take ffood care of the
children and avoid accidents. Thousands who came to gee the babies were not admitted, as we felt
L ST?3 responsibility for the little helpless children. PARENTS WHO - DID NOT RE CEI VE

the reason assigned by Tan OrsdaL who
Usuedtbe following statement:
It was the InteaUoa and earnest dealre of

eutr.d aumter. After realizing the dlttl
cuiiy ia sewurtag the naaea of petiUoaaca.
we placed an order of 2.190 with a man In
Portland. He was unable to Lake up the
work until arter the primary and did little
after that time. Then other orders were
placed, but tno.t of them returned results
below expectations.
We also experienced great difficulty m
raising money tor the work, situated aa we
are la a town and country where few sal
aries are paid.
Our commlttea was. Independent of others,
enable to secure more than J4S3 signatures
to enr one of the petitions, and In fact we
are still obligated to Mr. Parklaon for part
of the work performed by him.
We did our best te carry out the Instruc
tions ef the cttlsens who asked us to serre
them. The great trouble we experienced was
that those who volunteered to help In the
work put off until the last few days that
which should have beea done In the begin-.
slug of the movement.

STATE CONTENTION CLOSES
WITH ELECTION OP OFFICERS.
Rsyolntlons Indorse Good Roads and
Geological Surrey of Oregon
Mining Districts.
To place tho mining industry on a
sound basis, to protect it against "wild
cat" promoters and to work for a re
vision of tho United States 'land laws
are some of the more Important ends
to be accomplished by the newly or
ganized Oregon Chapter of the Ameri
can Mining Congress.
The three davs' convention heM at
the Portland Commercial Ciuh. cans XA
an end yesterday with tho election
of tho following officers: President,
Thomas C Burke, of Baker; Tlce- presi
dent, C B. Watson, of Ashland; sec
retary. L D. Mahone, of Portland;
treasurer. H. N. Laurie, of Portland.
Tho board of directors comprise Pro
fessor K. M. Parks, of Corvallis; C.
W. RlddelL, of Portland, and F. K. Pow
ell, of Portland.
The convention unanimously Indorsed
the resolution adopted by the National
Mining Congress at Los Angeles last
year, memorializing Congress to revise
the land laws as they apply to mining
claims. It is desired to have the laws
amended so as not to allow filing of
a homestead or timber location while
there may exist any claim for mineral,
until abandoned or It la proved that
the land does not contain mineral. It
Is declared that the laws are violated
frequently by homesteaders who take
up land nnder the agricultural act
knowing that the land is valuable for
its mineral deposits.
Another reform sought by the mining
men Is la tuo system, of. leasing: of mla- J
eral lands to Eastern promoters. Bills
are -pending In Congress to extend the
plan so that It will favor the East to
the detriment of tho actual mine oper
ator .on the ground and ready to de
velop the lands. The Representatives
of Oregon will be urged to use their
influence to defeat the leasing measures.
Resolutions were adopted requesting
tne Government to hasten completion
of the geological survey, especially In
the mining districts. The convention
also went on record as indorsing the
good roads movement in Oregon.
Other things indorsed by the con
gress Include the establishment by the
Government of a bureau of mining,
whose duties would be 'to carry Into
effect a system of scientific investiga
tion of mineral deposits in the North
western States to determine most prac
tical methods of reducing ores.
Every district in the state where
mining is an established resource will
have a local association to work in con-
Junction with the state chapter. In this
jra l( Kill be possible not onijr Jet ex-,
plolt the mining properties In an ac
curate manner but also to guard
against fake promoters effectively, s
The new organization has more than
100 members to begin with. It Is
planned to start an active membership
campaign at once, with a view of se
curing 600 members.
