Superintendent Gardner Tells What
the Boys and Girls Aid Society
Is Doing.
Superintendent Gardner of the Boys
and Girls Aid Safety of Oregon was
in the city yesterday on business con
netted with the society. He left on
the boat for Olney this morning, where
there are several children placed out
in families under the supervision of
the society.
The Boys and Girls Aid Society of
Oregon is doing a great work through
out the state, in the rescue of home
less, neglected and abused children,
as well as caring for juvenile offenders.
It is purely a local organization, un
der the direction of a board of trus
tees, consisting of some of the most
representative citizens of the state.
The beard is at present composed of
H. V. Corbett, president; F. E. Beach,
secretary; L. L. Hawkins, treasurer;
Judjjes Y B. Gilbert and C. B. Bel
linger of the U. S. supreme court.
Judge George II. Williams. A. H. Brey-
rnan, Mrs. W. A. Buchanan and Mrs.
L-vl White. Dr. L. L. Eliot als)
takes a lively interest In the work. In
addition tJ this, there is a board con
sisting of Ave representative ladies,
who lojk after the welfare of the chil
dren while In the home.
The home Is supported by an endow
ment fund, state and county aid, and
by voluntary subscriptions. Children
are comtaitted from every county in
the state.
The society has received and found
homes for over 300 children during the
past year. The home is only used as
a depot to keep and train the children
until hoires in families can be found
for them.
Mrs. Mary J. Graham, the present
matron, has had charge of the home
for the pa;t eight years, and Super
intendent Gardner has held his posl
tlon for seven years. Prior to coming
to the Oregon home Mr. Gardner had
many years' experience in the East.

boy named Td, whose parents
abandoned him. The society hat' pre

the management of the Salem Orphan's

doors.
The Wright family of five have all

boys In one family. The two children.
Clarence and Mabel Irish, are in ex

since being removed from the terrible

who a yar or two ago was the occasion
of considerable newspaper notoriety,

that those who have not seen her since
she was sent to Portland, would now
scarcely recognize her. In place of a

now presents the appearance of

The society feels grateful to those

rarKers Association Will Pay Out
Nearly JBO.OOO of Dividends in
Astoria.
An officer of the Columbia River
Packers Association confirms the re
port that at the meeting last Thurs
clay a dividend of 2 per cent was de
clared op the capital stock of the as
sociation and is now payable at the
office in this city.
I his will result in the Immediate
disbursement of nearly 160,000 In Asto
ria and shows the prospective value
of suth business Institutions and the
good policy of fostering and encour
aging their location and establishment
In the community. Any manufactur
ing or industrial enterprise upon so
larjje a foundation as to be capable of
tli-; accumulation of such a profit, un
der even the most favorable circum-
btantvs, upon so low a dividend percen
tage, is certainly worthy of the praise
and good will of every citizen.
v nen it is remembered that the
dividend thus declared by the packers
asKociatlon represents, not a year, but
only eight months' operation, involv
ing the extraordinary initial expense
of perfecting and starting the new or
ganization, an idea is afforded of th
mporusnce to this section of Oregon of
ti-.,. - i . . .
uohot association and Kiinh a
record Is at the same time a splendid
testimonial to the efficiency and in
lelllgence of its official management.
It is understood that the scope of
tne coining season's operations will be
much enlarged as compared with last
year, and that the aim will be to
make the association even more dis
tinctly a home Institution; every dol
lar spent for materials and supplies
being laid out as far as possible in
Astoria and Clatsop county.

right off inst.-ad of tending them down
for trial? They don't deserve It.
"Most of the regiiients here are full
of young boys for officers and the men
don't care about them. I saw some of
them at the Modder river tlgnt net like
a lot of school boys, shouting out or
ders that none of us could understand
so the old hands took no notice of
tlirni and went their own way at best
they c.iuld. Most of the regiment are
the same. The guards are the best off

wh v many young officers are sent
out to take charge of old soldiers,
Why can't we have more of our old
officers? My late captain, who left us
at Aldershot. came to see us off nnd
we asked why he was not coming with
us. He rep'ied that the war office
wo'ild not let him rejoin. He was
good man. We should not have lost
half the men we had If we had had
older officers.
"Wc were a good brigade If we had

MOSCOW, Jan. 26,-Count Leo Tol

South Africa as showing the "sordid

the world." He says:
"I hope dally to hear of a fresh Brit

me that England, boasting herself to
