DINERS TO SERVE FISH Canned Product to Be Featured in AH Leading; Hotels of East Where Most of Gigantic Output Is Shipped. Portland Js going to observe Salmon day again this year. Salmon day happens on Friday. March 13. This will be the second an nual observance. W. C. McBrlde. general agent for the Denver Rio Grande Railroad, has been appointed chairman of a committee representing the Portland Transporta tion Club to arrange an appropriate celebration. He was largely responsi ble for the success of last year's Sal mon day festivities. Just what kind of a programme will be arranged has not been determined. A meeting of the Transportation Club directors will be held tomorrow, at which some of the details will be dis cussed and other members appointed on the committee. Salmon Campaign Started. It is probable, however, that a noon day luncheon will be held at which sal mon, in its various tempting forms, will be the principal items on the menu. A preliminary campaign to Interest peo ple in the nutritive value of salmon as a food will be organized and conducted with extreme vigor. The idea originated a year ago with J. M. Norton, agent for the Missouri Paciflo Railroad at Seattle. Norton was In Portland yesterday. He conferred with officials of the Transportation Club here on arrangements for the local celebration. He says they are getting up a monster banquet at the Washing ton Hotel for the evening of March 13. Inasmuch as it was a railroad man Who started the movement, the rail road men in various parts of the coun try are continuing to carry it forward. Last year the observance was confined to the salmon packing centers of the North Paclfio Coast. This year frt has spread east as far as Boston. The Transportation Club there la getting up a big salmon feed. Similar feasts will be served to the transportation men of Jacksonville. Fla. ; Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City. Itallroads Advertise Industry. The railroads have taken hold with characteristic enthusiasm. They are going to offer salmon to their patrons th At day and to advertise the salmon Industry of Oregon, "Washington and Alaska generally. Portland is the principal salmon mar ket of the Northwest, and Eastern buyers generally look to this city for their information on the salmon indus try. Anything that ten's to help the Salmon business is certain to help Port land. Portland is the headquarters or the Oregon-Washington-California Sal mon Packers' Association. Following the custom inaugurated last year, it is probable that Portland salmon packers will consign a choice case to President Wilson for consump tion on the White House table on Sal mon day. The salmon-canning industry is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and for that reason particular in terest attaches to the event. It had its origin In 1S64. when three pioneers from Maine, who had been engaged In lobster canning, established themselves on the Sacramento River in California. The Industry soon spread from the Sacramento to the Columbia River and thence to Fuget Sound and Alaska, where it la now the second industry in Importance. Beginning with a small pack valued at a few-thousand dollars, the business has developed to an extent never dreamed by its founders. It reached its high-water mark in 1913 with a pack of over 8,000,000 cases, or more than 400,000,000 cans, valued at J40, 000,000. On this Coast over 35,000 peo ple are directly employed in the salmon-canning operations and thousands of others are engaged Indirectly in the preparation of supply, transportation and distribution of the pack. The fact should not be overlooked that as a restrit-of- special taxes levied on the salmon ' ItidTistry and the spe cial license fees which it pays, the Na tional and state governments are able to engage in propagating salmon to take the place of those caught each year.

Dandy Boy, . probablj the world's oldest pony, succumbed t the ravages of old age and Thursdal passed to the last haven for good an, faithful horses. No other pony could boast of a more active and useful life than the one lived by Dandy. No other has been petted and admired by so many thou sand little friends, nor had any pony more loving care during old age than did this proud old Arabian stallion, the father, grandfather and greatgrand rather of many of the dapper young pony members of the Barnes' Circus troupe of trained horses, wintering at the Country Club grounds, in East Portland. Dandy In First Show. To this little horse-actor can be given much credit in the building- of the present great Barnes' Circus, for it was Dandy who helped to put the circus owner, Al G. Barnes, on the map as a successful trainer of wild ani mals. Just 35 years ago this trainer and pony Joined forces the trainer then a struggling youth, an embryonic showman, whose show consisted of three trained dogs and tw6 monkeys. Ten years later found the showman and pony surrounded by a good-sized wagon show a caravan going over land from town to town to show in the smaller cities of the West, and it was during one of these trips that Dandy was able to show his love for his mas ter in a most substantial manner. The show, while making a drive across the Sierra Mountains in Cali fornia, became entangled in a mount ain blizzard, forcing the caravan to go into camp for several days. Food for the wild animals ran out, and they be came desperate with hunger. One of the largest lions broke from his cage during the nighttime and sprang upon flir. tsarnes, who was sleeping in a hammock near the campfire. Dandy Boy had been turned loose on this particular night to seek food from the tree branches, and is supposed .to nave Deeti standing near Barnes ham mock, for the instant the lion made the spring upon the prostrate man the pony made such a fierce attack on the beast with teeth and feet that the lion loosed his hold on Barnes and fled from the attack. Oeeon-Croased Many Yimes. Dandy traveled many miles during his life, crossing the ocean on many occasions on various vaudeville tours. He was not exclusively a circus pony, but held the boards in many of the best vaudeville houses all over the world, being featured for one entire season in Madison Square Garden, New York City, where he was known as the world's best trained horse and the first one educated to work as a lion-riding horse. -On one of the European trips Dandy was by special invitation from His Majesty King Edward presented to the royal children on the lawn at Buck ingham Palace. Dandy was always a good fellow with the little folks who came to visit the 6how, and seemed to take the greatest delight in having them ride on his back and play romping games. His little friends number hundreds of thou sands, scattered all over the world. They'll always remember their beauti ful Arabian pony playfellow. For the last five years Dandy has been retired, on the pension list, a much-loved and tenderly-cared-for an imal. He trouped every day with the big show, .and when the distance was not too great was allowed to make the parade, a pleasure keenly enjoyed, and no pony among the 200 carried himself with more dignity and jauntlness than Dandy. . Thousands of people stopped to pet and view the pony on whose be spangled blanket was Inscribed "Dandy Boy, 60 Years Old," and columns of stories were printed about the aged horse. Never a day passed when Mr. Barnes was near that he did not pay a visit to the old pony, giving the much-expected caress and lump of sugar. The cheery greeting of "Hello, Dandy Boy," was always acknowledged by a quiet nicker from the pony. Dandy Boy as nearly as can' be de termined lived to the age of 51 the Methuselah of horses. MONTESSORI MOVEMENT IS GIVEN NEW IMPETUS Recent Visit of Its Founder to America Accelerates' Progress of All Degrees Interested. Parents) Unavoidable Absence From State and Severe Illness Are Only Excuses That Government Will Accept on Hounding Up Delinquents. But five days remain for nersona subject to the Federal Income tax to file their returns. All Income tax statements must be filed with the Collector of Internal Revenue before .ularoh 1. Heavy pen alties will be t barged against persons who fail to make their proper filings. Aa tomorrow will be observed as a legal holiday, but five days remain. Many Oregon persons have failed to make their returns. Federal officials urge that they get busy quick. Un avoidable absence from the state and severe Illness are the only excuses that will be accepted by the Govern ment when rounding up delinquents. Many M ay Not Kww. - " Few persons, it is believed, are with holding their statements maliciously. It Is apparent; on the other hand, that a lot of folks don't know that they are required to pay. It may be that quite a few don't know that they are making more than $3000 a year. All who have incomes under J3000 are not required to pay. A married man Is allowed a total ex emption of 4000. Business men,' for instance that is, men who do business on a small scale represent a large element of those who have failed to make their returns. Perhaps it is hard for some in this class to figure out exactly what their Incomes are. But Uncle Sam will lis ten to no such excuse. They are ad vised to get down and "dope it out" to make an honest cbniession of their yearly transactions. The Federal of ficers then may be able to determine whether such men are earning $3000 or not. Returns Now Cover 1913. The law provides that returns shall be filed on r)r Defore March 1 each year. Returns now being made cover ncomes for 191S. However, the tax will be collected on only ten months of last year. Income taxpayers .thereby will be required to pay only five-sixths of the normal assessment at this time. In all. future years, however, the full as sessment willbe levied. The normal income tax is 1 per cent on all income in excess of $3000, with certain exemptions, including $1000 for a married man. Persons having Incomes of $20,000 and not exceeding $50,000 will be re quired to pay at the rate of 2 per cent; from $50,000 to $75,000, the rate is 3 per cent; from $76,000 to $100,000 It is i per cent; from $100,000 to $250,000 it la & per cent; from $250,000 to $500, 000 It Is 6 per cent, and In excess of $500,000 It is 7 per cent. Gifts to Family Blocked. No exemptions are made for gifts or donations within the year. This evi dently is intended to prevent people from dodging the tax by "donating" a lot of money to members of their families. AH who fail to make returns by the end of this week will be given duo no tice by Milton A. ' Miller, Collector of Internal Revenue. If this does not bring response, agents for the Govern ment will estimate the Income to the best of their ability. The Government then will proceed to collect the tax by force, together with penalties of not less than $20 or more than $1000. In the ease of corporations falling to make the return a penalty of $10,000 Is provided. Any member of a firm or corporation making false or fraudulent returns Is subject to a fine not to exceed $2000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. BY GERTRUDE! K. TALBOT. THE recent visit of Dr. Maria Montessorl to this country has given a new impetus to the movement. Especially is It so in the East, where she has talked before large audiences. In New York, Brook lyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburg and Chicago the largest audi torium available would not hold the crowds anxious to hear what this re markable woman had to say about her method and the early education and training of the child. Parents and men and women edu cators of all degrees have manifested this interest, not because of the no toriety she has won, but because the United States stands first in Its ef forts to give the best there is to the child. Dr. Montessori has much to give us UNIQUES RELIC OF" FRONTIER DAYS OWNED BY VAN COUVER WOMAN. 4 y Section of Backbone of Buffalo Killed by Steel Arrowhead. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Feb. 21. (Special.) A relic of frontier days is the property of Mrs. William L. Brown, of Vancouver. It Is a section of a backbone of a buffalo with steel arrowhead four inches long. The relic was picked up in South Dakota 25 years ago. Mrs. Brown was go ing overland in that state and one evening, when walking around the camp on the open prairie, found the bone with the steel arrowhead In it. It is be lieved that the arrow was shot from a bow by an Indian, and this wound resulted in the death of the big animal. if we are open-minded and want It The underlying principles of her meth od are so laid they can be applied to all education and even to life Itself. If a teacher once grasps its spirit and its fundamentals and has the pa tience to work It out, If in no other phase than that of discipline, ehe would find herself transformed into a real inspiration and guide to her chil dren, who will respond and react with the most gratifying results. The sys tem of eelf-control takes more time In me Deginnmg, out in the end It pro duces returns. After the experience of the past few months with a small group of children we who have watched and followed firmly believe that the Montessori metnoa is all that it claims to be, Those children who have come regu larly show a decided mental develop If they were asked to tell what they learned you would glean nothins. nroh- ably. But If you watched them at their work and play at home and In school you would be Impressed by the Intelligent way in which they go about Dotn tneir worK and amusements. They are perfectly natural and taneous, contented and happy and de pend upon themselves for their own amusement. . They also take great de light in doing all that they can for mernseives. Their powers of observation grow every day. They are not only alert visually, but all the senses grow keen er. Things are compared according iu uegree ana matcnea. lor similarity of color, form and size. One 3-year-old made the discovery that the pussy willows in her hand matched the gray sky. The training with the didactic mute. rial stimulates this ability to see and rorm relationships and comparisons. Not since Rousseau. Pestalozzl n. Froebel has there come such a force to the subject of the education of the little child. As to the Montessori idea its influ ence is found to react on education gen erally and in the home we who advo cate it have great faith that It will make a better race tomorrow, will give the little child of today the freedom to grow and to think and to act, all of which constitutes his birthright.
