Charles F. Gammon Tells of
China's Hungry Millions,
50,000 MILES ARE AFFECTED
Relief Fund Used Lnrgoly In Employ
ing Sufforors to Reconstruct Dikes
and Roads Destroyed by Excessivo
Floods People Work For Food.
Charles F. Gammon, who hns spent
seventeen years among the Chluese,
has written tho following description
of that great country's distress:
"In n period of 1,000 years China has
had over S00 famines, yet practically
ull of. these have been unknown to tho
world nt large. Tho great famine of
1878, taking Its terrible toll of 0,000,
000 to 13,000,000 lives, aroused the at
tention and sympatuy of tho wholo
world, and the generous response
which followed the appeal of n famlno
committee nt that time did much to
break down the barriers of anti-foreign
feeling which up to then had been In
surmountable. "The present famine, unlike tho
drought famine of 1S7S, hns been duo
to excessive rains, followed by ty
phoons and lloods, affecting an area of
over 50,000 square miles and a popu
lation of over 3,000,000 people.
"Past experience has rendered pos
sible the distribution of famine relief
on a most systematic and economical
basis. Tho pauperizing effect result
ing to some extent from relief opera
tions In other famines, due to affording
support to thousands during prolonged
periods of enforced idleness, has been
practically eliminated In this.
How Fund Is Used.
"Tho famine fund is being largely
nswl In emnlovinc the sufferers to re
construct their own dikes and roads,
which were destroyed by the floods.
Thus tho Idle and despairing people
are enabled to earn a living while wait
ing for another harvest and are nt the
same timo helping to restore normal
conditions and to prevent future occur
rences of this nnture. wages are paiu
In food only, and this reward is neces
sarily so limited as" to offer induce
ments only to those truly deserving.
To save and sustain life 13 the object
of famine relief, and since the means
never equals the need the rations must
be carefullv distributed and those who
are suffering least ignored for those
whose necessities are vital.
'These extreme cases make no dem
onstration. They have got beyond that.
They do not even beg. but are mute
and motionless, the spark of life hardly
struccrlin to retain its hold upon their
emaciated forms. Sometimes when they
understand that the ticket given tuom
means food and life tears roll down
their cheeks. Tickets for food are giv
en onlv in tho home, except In ex-
chance for labor, the necessaries of
each family being Judged not by the
home, but by the faces of its inmates.
A. man mav be hungry and suffering
for food, but unless his fnce is swollen
from anaemia he must be passed by
for those more terribly needy. Were It
not that through centuries of poverty
and extreme hardship only the strong
have survived half the 3,000.000 now
suffering would have died in the first
months of the famine.
Horror Difficult to Realize.
"It is difficult for us to realize tho
real horror of these extensive famines
confined almost wholly to China. India
and Russia. Under the best conditions
the Chinese live but a sordid life, de
void of many things we would regard
as necessary to existence and with
every form of luxury unknown. What
thn Chinese know us rrtoerlty we
should regard as the severest hardship,
as it means a coarse and meager llv-
incr. a cramped and cheerless hut and
tho most trying toll from tho rising of
the sun until the fall of darkness.
"Milk and butter are practically un
known, meat Is rarely tasted oftencr
than once n week, and then only under
prosperous conditions, and in tho fat
years there Is little surnlus to be saved
for the lean years of famlno. nonce
when drought or flood destroys tho
crops there is nothing Tor the hard
working farmers to fall back upon.
Conditions Existing Today.

utensils, and finally his household

Promlnont Eastern Roal Estoto Man
has Good Word for This
City
Mr. A. E. Hammond, a civil
engineer, now living in ruiuunu,
Ore., recently said:
'Some eight ornine years ago,
while examining the Madras
. . i i
country, with a view to tne ex-
ension of the Columbia cc bouth-
ern Kanroaci num oiuumuw
south to Bend, I found that no
railroad line from the north could
reach the interior, or what is
now known as Central Oregon,
without passing through, or very
near, wnac was men kuuwu uo
he 'Willow Creek basin.' 1
saw that the surrounding country
or miles in every direction
sloped towards it, and that all
vnil-5 thorn were no roads at
hat time led into the basin,
and it plainly appeared to me
that when the country was
evvenually settled, this same
basin would be the most nat
ural and the most available
rading point and business cen
ter for all that immense agn
cultural district.
"Shortly after this examina
tion, witn tne assistance oi uie
.1 I? i-l. v
railway company, I began to en
courage settlers to go in and oc
cupy the vacant lands surround
ing the 'Willow Creek basin.'
They gradually did so, and as l
surmised, this basin became
their common meeting point and
business center. I had purchased
previously 160 acres in the
basin, and platted what is now
known as Madras. At that time
the nearest house was nine miles
away, and the nearest railroad
point was Shaniko, forty-five
miles distant.
"Madras is a thriving little
city, and any one buying land
there at the prices now asked,'
will be making a first class in
vestment. The territory sur
rounding and tributary to Mad
ras is, without a doubt, the best
farming district in Central Ore
gon, and when the day arrives,
not far distant that water for
irrigation is put upon these
lands, this district will develope
into a garden spot without
equal in the West, and Madras
will make a city equal to North
Yakima or Walla Walla.
Mr. H. E. Welchel, of the firm
of Welchel & Campbell, real es
tate and commission men who
specialize in fruit lands, has just
returned from a thirty days' trip
through the state of Oregon,
and writes to the Northwest
News as follows:
"I believe that Madras has a
great future owing to the fact
of the large area of land that
an be put under water, and land
that is now under irrigation pro
duces wonderfully. ' (Philadel
