Feb. 22. MessaRPs have been received by the Merchants' Ex change from members of the California delegation in Congress stating that ef forts will be made to secure the desired appropriation for the monthly pilot chart of the North Pacific Ocean. This appropriation was recently stricken out of the bill in Congress at the solicitation ff Representative Mann, of Illinois, on the ground of economy. Members of the Merchants' Exchange ere inclined to make sarcastic references to any legislation affecting maritime mat ters proposed by a Congressman from the Inland state of Illinois. Sums have been set aside regularly for these charts for the 'benefit of navigators on both the At lantic and Pacific. No attempt has been made to cut the Atlantic appropriation. It is pointed out that the chart of the North Pacific is especially needed in view of the recent volcanic activity In tne Aleutian Islands. Tires of Lire; Tries Suicide. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 22.

John C. Carson, which was remarkable In bringing togeth er four lifelong friends, whose aggregate ages were 335 years, and who are, In the best of health and spirits.

Historical Incidents Recounted by Men Who Received First News of Them Over the Wire. Men who have mastered the mystery of wire talk, some of them who began serv ice when the world of invention was new, gathered last night at the Lenox Hotel and enjoyed the annual banquet of the Western Old-Time Telegraphers Association. Around the banquet-board were men who began sending "stuff" over the wires when a single line was strung around the world and alongside of them sat younger men whose services began when the present-day telegraph wires Degan to web the world. In the East old-time operators have heid reunions, but the flight of time bore heavily on the pioneer operators who settled on the Pacific Coast, so T. P. McKinney, now of Spokane, conceived the idea of a Western association. It is to him that the vrganization that met last night owes its birth and he has pro moted something of which he may well be proud. W. A. Robb, president of the association, officiated as toastmaster and called first on Dr. O. P. S. Plummer, who started his work at the Keyboard in 1851. Then came John Henderson, whose career began in 1S53, a man who handled the news of the Crimean War, the Civil War and who received, while working at the key in San Francisco, the news of the assassination of President Lin coln. Mr. Henderson also told of the time when the telegraph company strung Its wire through to St. Petersburg by way of Victoria and across Behrlng Sea and Siberia. J. S. Urquhart, who began in 1854, told of the time he met and knew Pro fessor Morse, the Inventor of the tele graph, and he, like others present, told of sending a message at one time to Professor Morse on the occasion of the latter'a birthday. From Portland a message was sent to the great invent or by Dr. Plummer, which read: "Space Is annihilated. The great Northwest greets you." Among the other speakers were George H. Thomas, now a lawyer and Democratic leader; and W. R. Mc Garry. also a lawyer and the Repub lican candidate for Circuit Judge. Jeff Hayes gave an interesting talk of the olden times and told many amusing stories. Alexander Cralb, secretary of the association, struck a happy note during his brief talk, when he sug gested that the birthday of Professor Morse be honored by telegraphers throughout the country. Mr. Craib sug gested that it would be a splendid thing on Professor Morse's birthday, at a given signal, to have all telegraph keys throughout the country remain silent for a moment as a token of re spect to the great Inventor. During the repast a silent toast was drunk to- the operators who have re ceived "30," the end of the call. Presi dent Robb and Secretary Craib read a number of messages and letters from members who could not attend, and all of them closed with "73," which means good luck. Those who attended the banquet and the date when they began "pounding the keys" follow: O. P. S. Plummer, 1851 : John Henderson. 18.13; B. F. Carl. 1871; B. F. Jones, 1S76; Jeff W. Hays. 1871; T. P.

(Mr. Abbott is now a mining engineer at Poche, Nev., and was formerly con nected with the good-roads bureau. United States Interior Department. He is recognized as a good-roads expert, and recently addressed the following letter to County Judi'e Lionel R. Webster, of this city:) PORTLAND, Feto. 14. Just before sail ing this afternoon on the steamer Rose City for San Francisco, in company with H. V. Alley, County Commissioner of Tllamook County, I visited the stockades and rock-crushing plant and Kelly Butte, where, under your supervision, county convicts are crushing rock Tor macadam roads. Remembering the many hours, sometimes far Into the night, when you and I for years discussed this question of building roads by convict labor, I feel that I must write you now briefly a few of the thoughts which have been In my mind. . . The first was the Impulse to extend to you my cordial congratulations. It rarely falls to the lot of any man to see his labors to benefit his fellow-beings so gloriously successful. The ultimate, complete so lution of the problem of utilising the ac tivities t our convicts in road construc tion will. In my Judgment, be the most far reaching, important achievement in our National development. We restrain the criminal of his liberty for the benefit of society. To obtain enduring, beneficial results, our penal methods must be cor rective rather than punitive. The fear of an avenging law Is an influence of minor Importance in deterring crime. The States Marshals and aid on the staff of Governor Curry, and long identified with the business and financial interests of this city. ' The evening was replete with anecdotes of the experiences which these four re markable men have met with in their lives and varied careers. Perhaps no other city in the Union, even the largest, could gather together four old friends who have lived more than half a century in the same community and have been so signally honored and respected by their fellow-citizens. strongest impulse for good conduct is good character. I am overwhelmed with amazement at the growth of Portland since my last visit, something over two years ago. With a fair knowledge of conditions in our principal American cities, I assert with no fear of successful contradiction that no other city of the size of Portland has, in an equal period of time, ever experi enced such marvelous growth in Imposing business structures and substantial dwellings. But to my mind far more im portant than these dwellings more im portant even than the new railroads, which will bring the- products of the Pa cific Northwest to your doors is what I saw today at Kelly utte. I believe that in proportion to area, Oregon contains more potential wealth than any other state in the Union. The only states which could hope to success fully contest this proposition aro Ore gon's neighbors on the north and the south. Just make It possible to easily get at the resources of Oregon and people will come from everywhere to do the rest. To accomplish this, Oregon's most urgent need is good roads. Her most important available resource for securing them lies in her convicts. It Is the sole occupation In which her convicts can toe employed which will not only not encroach upon free labor, but which will actually im measurably increase the demand tor tne services of free labor. The indispensable requisite for good roads in Oregon is crushed stone. Each mile of good road requires an average of 2000 cubio yards of crushed stone. Be cause crushed stone has been so expen sive and revenue for road purposes so lim ited, progress in building good roads in Oregon has been slow. In places this ma terial has cost as high as $3 a cubic yard, laid on the road. Your superintendent at Kelly Butte told me that the maximum cost of the crushed stone there, delivered automatically to wagons, has been 27 cents a cubic yard, and that the total cost of producing It all was little more than It would have cost anyway to maintain and guard the county prisoners. In other words, the crushed stone was practically velvet. But this Is only a part of the story. In addition to the beneficent good these convicts are doing for Mult nomah County, they are themselves being rescued from the awful consequences of enforced Idleness. Moderate, ilealthful exercise of body and diversion of mind have prevented the good citizen whom mischance has brought within prison walls from lflnslntr in tr. a mHmlnal V, 11 they have restored normal health to many 1 f-' ' ...

Don't forget the plan for a trans-state road from the Columbia River- to the aisklyous. it must be built. It will ba the main artery. Into It from every direc tion will fte built branches and feeders. Through this system will course . the bounding currents of life blood, which will make Oregon grow like a hothouse plant. Everywhere will spring up invit ing inns, cozy nooks for rest and nleas ure, little centers for exploration, where men and women from far and wide will come to gather a personal knowledge of ine opportunities which Oregon holds. To the sick or weary, the tourist, the Bports man, the lover of horse or automobile, and, best of all, to tne searcher for op portunity, what new possibilities It will open. And the good work will not stop In Oregon. Washington and California will see what it means to you and will follow where you lead. Within three years from today every county from Blaine to Tla Juana should be working on Its part of a through highway down the Paciflo Coast. It would be the most famous road In the world as important as the old Applan Way or the great road built by Darius to the confines of the Persian Empire. It would settle the question of the mastery of the Pacific, because it would open up the country as nothing else could, and would bring the people to occupy it The adequate number of the right kind of people and the resources at their command will determine who shall dominate the western ocean. It is a far cry, I know, from the stock ades and crushers at Kelly Butte to the mastery of the Pacific, but it can be made to reach. JAMES WT. ABBOTT. IRVINGTON RESIDENCES.
