music that it has become a fad all
over the country and is so tuneful and
melodious that the American uublic
can't do without it.
Incidentally, it was the Tully drama
which made popular the ukulele in
this country. When the playwright
went to the Sandwich Islands a. few
years ago in search of accurate detail
to carry out the setting for his play
he brought back six native -ukulele
players. It was they who set the style
in music which has gripped the coun
try from the Pacific to the Atlantic
Coast.

Enjoyable Time at Keunion.
A MITT, Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) The
Amity "Thirty Years in Oregon Club'
held their fourth annual meeting and
banquet at the High School here last
night. Among the numbers of the pro

eggs could be bought at 7 cents a dozen.
butter at 15 cents a roll, coffee at 12
cents a pound. These were the prices

After the programme a banquet was

inappropriate bearing upon music.
VVhen the first Portuguese immigrants
came to Hawaii in the early '80s they
brought a small-sized guitar. As their
Instruments wore out they began mak
ing new ones, and incidentally dis
covered that the beautiful koa wood
which grows only in the Hawaiian
Islands was peculiarly suited for the
construction of their tiny little guitars.
The native Hawaiians took to the in
strument eagerly and' Induced the
Portugeuse makers to make the guitars
even smaller so as to be a convenient
thing to carry around.
Islanders Give Kame.
"The manner in which the instrument
is played being held close to the
chest and with the fingers of" the
right hand sweeping the strings with
great rapidity caused the little instru
ment to Jump, particularly if the tune
was a real lively one, such as the
Islanders like. This jumping suggested
the idea of a flea, and the native there
fore Jokingly gave the little guitar the
name of 'ukulele,' which literally
means 'the Jumping flea." "
17 ELK ARE MOVED
Salem and Crater Lake Park
Get Wallowa Animals.
HERD'S INCREASE IS TAKEN
State Fish and Game Commission
Plans to Liberate Elk In More
' Sheltered Parts of Oregon
During Next Few Years.
Seventeen young elk, the Increase
from the herd now in Wallowa County
brought originally from Jackson Hole
several years ago by the State Fish
and Game Commission, have been sent
to Salem and Crater Lake National
Park.
The herd passed through Portland
a week ago. Two of the young elk
will be left in Salem, where they will
be put in the State Fair grounds en
closure, and the other 15 head will be
liberated in the forests of Southern
OAgon.
It is the intention of the Game Com
mission to liberate in the sheltered
parts of the state the Increase from
the herd at Wallowa each year. It will
then be possible to populate the moun
tains with a game animal that has al
most suffered extinction at the hands
Of hunters.
The elk were transported from their
home at Billy Meadows to Enterprise
with but one mishap one of the calves
contracting pneumonia and dying at
Enterprise.
They were taken from Billy Mea
dows to their destinations by George
W. Mitchell, Deputy Game Warden, of
Enterprise.
It was Just five years ago that the
herd of 15 elk was "planted" In Billy
Meadows. The increase Is expected to
be such that within a few years elk
will not be infrequently found iu the
Oregon wilds.

AMY IS GONE AGAIN
Witting Girl Fails to Return
From Trip for Stove Wood.
REPORT MADE TO POLICE
Recent Runaway Escapade and Bis.
covery of Youngster In Ash Bar
rel Recalled; Mother Claims
High European Birth.
Amy Mittlng, " 14-year-old daughter
of Mrs. John Mittlng, who says she Is
rightful heiress to the tlUea of Duchess
of Buckingham and Princess Kovalaskl,
has again disappeared from her home
at 134714 Corbett street.
The mother and child leaped into
the limelight on January 28. 1917. when
the daughter was found hiding in a
barrel in the basement of Trinity
Episcopal Church. The girl had run
away from her home, and the police
were searching the city for her.
Mrs. Mitting- reported yesterday to
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the Depart
ment of Public Safety for Women, that
the child had disappeared Friday. The
youngster went out to get wood for
the stove and did not return.
Although Mrs. Mittlng told the po
lice that the girl had been kidnaped
from her in Australia. and inter
spersed the narrative with the names
of royal and noble personages as thick
ly as a page from a Dumas romance,
the police are inclined to believe that
the little "Princess has only run
away from home. The child did not
wish to return to her mother after she
was found last month, and begged the
authorities to send her to some home
for orphans.
Mrs. Mittlng demanded her daughter.
however, and there was no evidence
that the child did not have a good
home, so the police had no alternative.
At that time the Princess Kovalaskl
told the authorities that her child was
a confirmed runaway.
Mrs. Mittlng produced letters ad
dressed to her as the Duchess of Buck
ingham, and in a polyglot mtxture of
French, Russian, and English assert
ed that her relatives in the house of
Kovalaskl were persecuting her be
cause of her marriage to Mittlng, who,
to use his own expression, is an "Aus
tralian nobody.
The police, however, are convinced
that the House of Kovalaski and most
of the other Russian royalty are too
busy-.warring to trouble about the off
spring of the Princess "mesalliance."
STRAHOBH TO SET SUM
PORTLAND'S SHARE! FOR RAILROAD
TO BE) NAMED SOOS.
Views ef Rlcb Country Threw Which
Line la to Run Are Taken for
Bond Market In East.
Plans for the financing of the Ore
gon, California & Eastern Railway are
progressing steadily, and definite an
nouncement is expected, to be made
this week regarding the part Portland
financial and business interests will
take in the project.
Robert E. Stra.horn, president of the
road, said yesterday that be has as
surances that Portland will contribute
a substantial quota to preliminary
funds. With the pledges already made
by the various communities in South
central Oregon, added to Portland's
contribution, the total subscriptions and
the money value of property donated
to the property will approximate $1,
000.OV0. it is estimated.
The total cost of the entire system,
comprising about 400 miles of railroad,
will be about 16,000,000. With 1,000,
000 of the outlay already virtually pro
vided for, it is planned to market bonds
covering the a, 000,000 in the East.
To facilitate the financing of the
project, Mr. Strahorn has collected
targe panoramic photographs which
strongly portray the features of the
various districts to be tapped by the
system. It required: more than a month
to obtain the views. They were taken
by Charles R. Miller, of Klamath Falls.
W. D. Cheney, of Bend and Seattle, and
J. G. Rhodes, of Bend, made up the
party, and nearly 700 miles were cov
ered to take the photographs of the
entire surveys of the project
The photographs show the wide val
leys which are highly productive when
irrigated, big stretches of dry-farming
wheat land and some of the great yel
low pine forests and grazing lands
tributary to the system which will
connect with existing terminals at
Klamath Falls, Eakeview, Bend and
Crane.
The districts shown Include the Sum
mer Lake Valley, Silver Lake Valley,
the Bend district, Klamath Valley. Fort
Rock Valley, Millican Valley, east side
of Harney Valley, Christmas Lake Val
ley.' Hampton Valley. Lakeview dis
trist. Goose Lake Valley, lower portion
of Surprise valley in Isorthern Call
fornia. Paisley irrigation district, and
Duck Valley in Nevada.
One each of the enlarged views of
the surveyed line is shown. They con
firm Mr. Strahorn's claims of the low
cost of. construction of the railroad
system. There will be no engineering
problems to meet, and with easy grades
and light curvatures the system will
be capable of economical operation.
"The whole route or this big railroad
system is a constant succession of fer
tile valleys," said Mr. Cheney. "Some
are in the early stages of tillage, but
others tre so highly cultivated that
one finds it hard to realize that this is
the land which only five years ago the
late James J. Hill called The . Last
Great West.'
"I think it literally true that no rail
road in America, certainly none west
of the Mississippi, was ever built
through a country so ready to sup
port it." -
