We have long known that wrapping paper ia manufactured out of old rags, that the back fence can be turned in to perfumed and tinted stationery, and that newspapers are made of primeval forests and damaged repu tations. Now they tell ns that a com mon rural nuisance is an asset that some day every fanner can be his own paper trust The proposition from Washington is music to onr ears. The disappear ance of our forests and the machina tins of the Paper Trust have made the price of paper soar like a Wright aeroplane. At the rate we are going now paper is destined to be beyond the reach of ordinary mortals paper railroads will cost more than real ones, and paper-soled shoes will be a luxury which only the rich can en joy. If something isn't done about it, a day may come when the Sunday newspaper will be no larger than the atlas of the world, and magazines will cost so much to get out that there will be no room for the advertise ments. But It seems we are to be saved from these awful possibilities. With every farmer growing cookbooks and car-whels and fire-proof theatre cur tains in the vacant lot behind the barn, there is little danger of a world wide famine in paper. Notice To Mariners.

FIRST fif A SERIES OF FINE PAPERS The Morning AstorUn is present ing tim morning tne nrsi ox a kwi ; of fine papers written by Dr. B. ! Owens-Adair, of this county, on the subject of her proposed legislation in behalf of human' steriliiation and the mitigation of all physical and mental and moal perversion, and the crim inal tendency generally, in human ao ciety, . There will be I number of these diring the winter and they will be of exceeding interest and even concern to this people and to those in a constantly growing field that must eventually become world-wide. The plea set up by Clatsop's most excellent citucenes and clever pro fessional representative sounds on its initial utterance to .the unexpect ing ear harsh and radical, an extrem ity even; bat the more it is consid ered in the light of the need for some efficacious remedy for the ills of "the flesh and the devil", the more It recommends Itself to the intelligent and humane principle in man and woman, and will. If cultivated, and reduced to its simplest and best ex pedience of application and method, become one of the cardinal rules of a better, freer, and nobler exigence. The communication reads as follows: "To the F.ditor Two year ago t called upon the Legislature of Ore gon to enact a law to prevent a fur ther propogation of criminal idiots j and insane through sterilisation. A j e vri are the community would ' have been shocked by the mere men tion of snch a process, but we are rapidly growing broader and wiser, j Even the common people are being ducated up to a reasoning stand point through our public schools one of the strong arms of our nation hich is reaching out and taking in all that is in reach that will benefit the young. "The rapid increase of insanity and vicious elements is simply appalling: the penitentiaries. Insane asylums, reform schools and homes for , all kinds of defections has not only be come a borden to our emraon wealth but a menace as well and if allowed to proceed, where will it end? This is a pitiful calamity, one which every thinkinar man and woman under stands tnd for which a remedy must be found. I realise that this is a delicate subject fo handle and for that reason it has not heretofore been brought before the public, but it must be bandied without gloves, from a scientific point, which Is only common sense extended. T have no fears but it will stand upon its own merits, only let in the light , of rea son and the clouds of prejudice and ignorance will disappear. "This remedy will bring untold hliuinn to the unfortunates them selves both in health and disposition. The only loss to them would be the power . of reproducing their kind which should not be allowed. We all know the effect of- sterilization on the lower animals, they soon cease to be viciotus and , become quite pliable and affectionate. You may object to this -comparison but com parative anatomy teaches us the truth of this assertion. It is well known that the law of transmition is a radical law both in animal an human life. "It is true that it may skip one or even two generations but in time will gather force and assert its power for good or evil. So well is law ttn- CASUS Hart Schafiher (Q.

If we had a law requiring the ster iliiation of every criminal who made insanity a plea for defense" the in sanity dodge would not be so fre quent. Look t or wn recent trasedy. a vicious and vindicative man deliberately walks into an of fice and shook down a good Chris tian man m the bloom of his useful ness, bringing sorrow to his young wife and baby. Had the murderer been well bom he never could have committed such a foul deed, And now like Charter Thompson, the boy fiend nf Semite, he mav be freed and al lowed to go forth to tramsmit his vicious blood to unborn children, which wilt multiply and increase with the growth of the child until some thing happens to bring the fiery demon to the surface and then the explosion takes place and the fearful shock is felt. No amount of training or education can completely eradi cate such hereditary traits "Therefore, I say that every child has a right to be well born, and no vicious person should be allowed ti propognte his kind by contaminating the blood of the helpless unborn child. Let us. put a stop to the further hitildincr of oenitentiaric.

Shall we per mit these sins to be transmitted? Now I call upon you, our Legisla tors, you whom the public have elect ed to enact good wholesome laws for the preservation and protection of our state, I beg that yon take this home to your hearts and then cast your vote for your homes and the homes of your neiglihors. Then Ore gon will give you thanks and the un born in time you will rise and call you blessed. Set the example and other states will follow. "DR. OVVENS-ADAIR."
