OREGON MAY RECEIVE AID Plan Is to Colonize Lands, Inaugur ate Activity In Mining, Oil, Tim ber and Other Fields, and Establish New Towns. OMAHA. Neb, April IS- (Special.) The entire .West, from the Missouri River at Kansas City and- omana 10 me raciflc Coast at Seattle. Portland, San Francisco and Los. Angeles, Is to feel the impetus of a new policy which has Just been inaugurated by the Union Pacific and its affiliated lines. -For near half a century, ever since its completion., In fact, the Union Pacific has been known as a through line and the great bulk of its business has been traffic which traveled osr its tracks for many hundreds of miles. The new policy adopted Is one of development and colonization and under it tire rail road expects to bend Its energies to settling and developing the entire country tributary to its tracks. The object Is to secure settlers for the West, to build up the towns along u. r.in.' Ta.ifi r-ftrht nf wav and to develop every natural resource in what- Is known as union i-acinc lernwrj. The Union -Pacific has. in factr deter mlned upon "intensive railroading." At the bead of the new department has been placed R. A. Smith, an ex newspaper man, who has been, for sev eral years, general advertising agent of the road. His headquarters will bo in the Union Pacific building in Omaha. Individual! to Pro lit. Interstate commerce laws will not permit railroads to invest their own funds in "side lines," and for this rea son the development work must all be done with private capital and the profits will go to private Individuals. The railroad can. however, spend Its own money in bringing the individual and the opportunity In touch with one another. There are immense deposits of Iron ore In Wyoming some of the richest deposits in all the world. But they are not being worked and the world Is losing the product and the Union Pacific is losing the tonnage. There are great waterfalls In Ida ho, Oregon and Washington; hundreds of thousands of horsepower current are going to waste; millions of acres of land in California lack tenants; there are fruit lands in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Lfjorauv suu umci ,cai.u states. i There are supposed to be great lakes of oil Deneatn tne Bunace in nraiem Wyoming and Eastern Utah and -immense forests in Oregon. Washington, Idaho and other Western states. There are millions of acres of land In Western Nebraska, .Colorado. Wyo ming, Utah, Idaho, etc., which need only water to make them blossom like the rose, and millions of acre-feet of water going down to the sea without use every day. Mine Development Aim. Out in Southern Wyoming there a,re great lakes of almost pure soda and more coal is In Wyoming than in Penn sylvania. In Nevada there are geld mines waiting to be developed and in Montana there are untold millions of tons of copper ore waiting for tire smelter. In Nebraska there are millions of acres of Winter wheat land which can be purchased for a song when com pared with the high-priced acres of Iowa, Illinois and other states further East. In the dozens of towns In Union Pa cific "territory" there are always de mands and openings for men of every trade and business. And in - other towns and cities in the East there are workmen out of "Jobs" and business men on the lookout for a change. Mr. Smith will devote his time to bringing the proper people In touch with this vast assortment of oppor tunities and to develop the country traversed by the Union Pacific in r nf th Old Fort Dalles Historical Society this weeK.

As the emigrants came to the Coast the demand for quicker transmission of people and news than by the ox- team of six montns, or arouna '' Horn," reduced the time to 25 days fur rni'iHnir the old Oregon trail, a distance of 2000 miles. This was ac complished by the overland stage in xne pony express time to 10 days in 1860. This express carried letters and papers of the finest . i an.H thA r 1 1 t nf transnor iwauc i i' v i " . tation was S for one-half ounce. The "pony express" had tuu norseu, u stations and 80 riders, who worked on ia Mu with twn minutes for the change of ponies i at the station. The express started from St. Joseph, Mo. Two hundred miles were covered every day bv the riders. William F. Cody, better ' known as "Buffalo BIH," was one of the original Donv express riders on the Oregon Trail. In 1865 the telegraph to the Pacific Coast was completed and in 1869 the last spike of the Union Pacific system was driven. Then the "pony" had to give away to tne iron uurao. PIONEER OF 1849 DIES THOMAS A. MIIXIORX REACHES AGE OF 83 YEARS. Native of Virginia Has History In terwoven With Development of Oregon for Half Centnry. JUNCTION CITY, Or., April 12. (Spe cial.) Thomas A. Mllliorn was born in Virginia in 1828, the son of John and Mary Mllliorn, both natives of Virginia. PONY EXPRESS DESCRIBED Iiecturer at The Dalles Tells or Old Oregon Trail. THE DALLES, Or., April 10. (Spe cial.) "The Pony Express Rider on the Old Oregon Trail" was the snbject of an interesting programme at a'meet- Tbe Late T. A. Million. His parents resided in Tennessee for 10 years, and then moved to Missouri. Thomas was one of 10 children, oi whom four survive: William H., of Prlneville. Or.: James Polk, of Junc tion City; Eugenia, the widow of James Huffman, residing at Seattle, and Helen, who lives in Portland. In 1849 Thomas A. Million! crossed the plains to California, where he worked for a time at the carpenter's trade. In f850 he .began mining near Trinity River, but in a few months turned to packing supplies to the mines, at which occupation he averaged ?16 a day. In 1852 he moved to Oregon and took up a Government claim of 320 acres for his father, who was then In Mis souri. The father was successful in farming and amassed a considerable fortune. Thomas later took up a claim of 160 acres, Which became the townsite of Junction City. He was first married to Eliza K. Aubrey, and five children were born: Nina A., widow of D. C Gove, Eugene; Cora L., wife of W. H. Connors, of Stan wood, Wash.; Frank B., of Prineville, Or., and two who died. In 1879 Mr. Mllliorn married Mary L. Hill. They had two children: Effle Gertrude, wife of John Blair, of Stan wood, Wash., and Merle IL, who lived .with his father. T. A. Mllliorn came to this country when it was a wilderness and before Eugene or Junction City were founded. He was one of the commissioners ap pointed to locate the town of Eugene. Mr. Mllliorn was a delegate to the Democratic convention at St. Louis when Tilden and Hendricks were nomi nated In 1877. He was a member of tbe Masonic order for SO years, being com mander of Eugene Lodge No. 11 and later treasurer of Junction City lodge. GAINS IN NUMBERS Visiting Nurse One of the New Offices That Are Being Considered. SUPERVISION STRONG CARD GRAMMAR SHOULD BE OBSERVED IN POLITICS'' Mary Corner Raymond Considers Spectacle of Street Loafers Is Enough to Drive Women to Take Advantage of Privilege of Voting. N So BT MART COMER RAYMOND. O ONE can afford to- teacn ten years, and few can teach a day and live to hide It." ttaM Komehadv In a sforv in the Century magazine several years ago. I suppose that accounts for it. I used to teach. Once upon a time I was principal of an English department in a high school. It has always been claimed by the advocates of woman suffrage that if women could vote they would elevate politics. I have started In to purify the grammar of politicians. The other night a crowd of men stood around a helpless little muzzled monkey dog ana triea 10 I landed Jn tneir miasu and to fight. said: "If there Is anything that makes me mad It Is to see a life-size man going around making a living off of a help less animal. What are you doing here, teasing these animals? If that is what you are up to-1 will call the Humane Society." and a few more gentle words to that effect. "Suffragette!" sang out some "rough neck" on the edge of the crowd. Then I. got mad. Loafers Make Suffragettes. The truth is. I have never been a suffragette nor a suffragist, whatever either may be. In my wrath I retorted: "If anything would make me a howl ing suffragette it would be the spec tacfe of a crowd of street loafers whose education has never taken them through the fourth grade spelling book." - I decided that the time had come to strike a telling blow, and yesterday I strode up to the Courthouse to register. This Is what struck my eye: NOTICE! IF TOU VOTED ON NOVEMBER 5. 1912, AND WAS REGISTERED AT THAT TIME. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REG ISTER, UNLESS YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR ADDRESS OR POLITICS. ANY LEGAL VOTER CAN VOTE ON THE COMMISSION FORM . OF GOVERNMENT. I registered under that ungram'mati cal notice, and I trust It was legal, but it Is bitter to think that I must reg ister under such ungrammatical circum stances. When I mentioned it to a man voter he said, "But you are to save the coun try; grammar doesn't count in poli tics." But I insist that if T must save it, I will save it to grammatical purity. "Will you sign a petition for Ralph C. Clyde, for Councilman?" said a. wo man as I came out of the registration office. - "No," I replied, "I have not investi gated hi grammar." Wliat Constitutes Proper Amusement "for Sunday Creates Difference ' of ' Opinion, but "Sabbath Must Be Kept Holy." At the annual meeting of the "Bit, Sisterhood" an auxiliary of the Peoples' Institute, held yesterday afternoon, an Increase of membership from 65 to 82 In the past year was noted in the an nual report submitted by Miss Marlon Briggs. secretary of the Sisterhood. During the year 27 cases of girls who HAAaH I tr efstprS were reported by the Associated Charities, the Juvenile Court, the Department oi ruDiic oaieiy the Peoples' Institute to the Big Sister hood and each girl received the person al care of some Big Sister. In some In stances the help given included entire families. A plan of the year still in contemplation is the employment of a trained visiting housekeeper who will give practical instructions in good housekeeping and the sanitation of the home. This work has been very suc cessful in cities where it has been tried, and as soon as sufficient funds are available such n trained worker will be employed by the Associated Charities and will co-operate with the vatlous charitable societies of the city. Girls Must Have Supervision. Among results of the year's work mention was made of articles appearing in The Oregonlan setting forth the alms of the organization and a plan for an educational campaign through the newspapers of the state for the infor mation of families whose daughters come to Portland to find employment. Members of the family will be urged to write the Big Sisterhood that girls may not come alone to the city and remain here without supervision. Replying to a letter received from the "Big Sisters, Incorporated," of New York City, of which Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt Is the founder and head. In formation will be sent to the New York organization of the work of the local society that the two societies may keep in touch with each other. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the Depart ment for Public Safety for Young Wom en, appeared before the Sisterhood and explained in full the recent ordinance for the opening and regulation of public dances. Mrs. Baldwin said that since she believed the public dance had more to do with the downfall of girls than any other cause she thought it im portant that the Sisterhood understand the present regulations under which public dances are again to be operated in Portland. Sunday to Be Kept Holy. What constituted proper amusement for working girls on Sunday was a matter of difference in opinion. Mrs. Baldwin believes that the Sunday should be kept holy In accordance with scriptural commandment, while MIbs Butler, of the Juvenile Court, held that many girls are too tired for recreation or entertainment any time except Sun day. No policy was prescribed for the Sisterhood, but it was suggested that each Big Sister act In this matter under the advice of the person or society as signing the individual case to be cared for. Owing to lack of time the annual election of officers was postponed until the next monthly meeting, to be held the second Wednesday in May. "Suggestions to Big Sisters," sent out by the Big Sisterhood, having attracted the attention of President Foster, of Reed College, the city librarian and social workers of the city because of their originality and- common sense, copies have been sent by the main li brary to the branch libraries of the city for distribution among girls. Among the suggestions are these: Suggestions Are Offered. Call on the girl at her home. You can better enter Into real sympathy with her when you know the life she lives and the air she breathes. Become acquainted with her fathel and mother. The battle is half won when you have gained the confidence of the parentB. By knowing the fam ily you can often show them how to help the girl and you can help them, too. See what can be done to improve the home conditions. The lack of real home life is generally the cause of the girl'a trouble. Do not give financial aid except in extreme cases. If such Is needed, com municate with the Institute. See the girl's teacher. She usually has a good idea of what the girl needs. If she is not in school or at work, the first thing to do is to get her back in school. If possible. A big sister can do wonders in arousing a girl's ambi tions. If the family needs help, get her a position amid good surroundings. The Y. W. C. A. employment bureau or any other agency will assist. Evening Occupation Important. Ascertain where the girl spends net evenings. Many of them are spent on the street. It is your opportunity to provide a better place, ooe more at tractive, not to you, but to the girl. If necessary have a good physician examine the girl. Adenoids and mal nutrition are frequent explanations of perversity in a girl. A physically weak girl is an easy prey to temptation. Invite her to your home and maka her feel that she Is welcome. Perhaps, it will be a revelation of "home" to her. Be Interested in that which Interests the girl. Cheap theaters and Saturday night dances may be her only real amusements. We have no right to take these pleasures from her until we can substitute some wholesome amusement. Take her to a concert or to a good clean play and she will begin to lose her taste for the undesirable variety. Don't patronize. You may know more about virtue, but the girl is probably a better expert on temptation. Find out whether she attends Sunday school or church. Encourage her In both directions. Discover the girl's chief interests. It she loves music or is artistic encourage her Interest and find a chance for her to develop It. Find something for her to do In which? you can arouse her interests, prefeaply something she can do with ber hands.
