living almost five times greater than
that of the previous year. Sherman
stands lowest in the list of increases with
a little over J117.C00. Multnomah's valu

Merchants Exchange Objects to Con
gress' Spell of Economy.
RAX FRANCISCO. 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.

P
ON THURSDAY evening, the 20th in
stant, Robert Treat Piatt gave a din
ner at his residence, 653 Johnson street, in
honor of the eighty-third birthday of Mrs.
Piatt's father, Hon. 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.
The dean of the party was Captain "W.
L. Higgins, whose eighty-fifth birthday
will occur on the 1st of March. Nxt
m ARE RECALLED
PIOXEER TELEGRAPHERS MEET
AT BANQUET BOARD.
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.

the date when they began "pounding
the keys" follow:

GOSPEL-OF GOOD ROADS
Practical Application of Rock
Crushing Plant at Kelly Butte.
(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-' ' ... V. UAIUIC3.
It is .Indeed a mighty thing which you
have accomplished. It is going to mean
for Oregon the salvation of her criminal,
the regeneration of her society and the
fulfillment of her destiny.

10 mu uregou granaiy great.
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.
