King Wil son on February 2, before the ladles of the Forestry Society of Portland, was : as follow: ' ,, ' ; is ''Mrs. President and ladles It affords' me much pleasure to speak to you. This 18 a subject I am-deeply Interested In, "and believe that all good, people-of this "section of the country should take some part In the effort now being made to save the forests, I am anxious as ft citizen ; of the country to dq all I can' to preserve the forests for future generations. , Let us endeavor to deliver the state of Ore gon to those who shall come after us with some attractive trees left'"' some deep, dep.se, dark forests, where man may go, far' from the noise and, hurry f the cities and commune, with nature and with nature's God ; "The Importance -of the subject, you ppreclateTsd I will leave that to some one who is speaking to an audienoe that Is not interested, but I will give one 11 lustratlon. In, the town of . Woodburn, Or., there stands a stately native oak. This oak grew near the boundary line pf two farms. One farmer bought a strip of . land of the other, and when the sale was closed the purchaser remarked; 'I wanted-that; oak tree. - .1 would not take $100 for It,' , There are some people who appreciate trees, , : . Tire the lorest's Enemy. "Admitting the importance and value of forests, what are the needs and what is fire. : W. F, Conovers. a pioneer hun ter and woodman of Clatskanie, Or., told me that in that county 10 trees had been burned to one that was cut by the lum bermen. - Not long ago J heard witnesses testify in court that more than JO yeara ago a fire that extended for over 50 miles In one direction burned over a part of Lincoln county In thie state. In. fact it was so large an area that the oldest in habitants could not define Its boundaries. But the most noticeable feature of the testimony was that of old settlers who ma mat me lern ana Tmaerurusn n this very ground had burned off on an 'average every three years. Xf this con tinues what wilt, be left in 60 yeara? Ndthlng will remain, and. the"7 trees will not grow again. -I admit that at times in August, when the smoke settles over our fair city and county like clouds, the prospect is not of the brightest What can we do? We can talk and t write and use printer's Ink to arouse a public feel- . Ing von the1 subject Let us use moral suasion with the hunters, fishers and loggers to .see that fires are not started. That which is dear to the people needs no law to protect it. Public sentiment is one of the greatest ' powers in the . world, and 1 believe you women have' as much power in this direction as men. ' Xake the Tortsta Korea. . fact that great progress has been made in the last few years, and I believe that there .is now more interest in forestry than ever before I -wouldrauggest, along this line, that some competent per son write articles on the subject in tended aa an education for the general public, have them illustrated, and pub lished in the newspapers not necessar ily -in papers published on forestry, be cause enlarge number of the readers of these papers are already Interested, but in the daily papers of general circulation nd in the rural- papers. Agitate and educate the people, I mean the masses. "Next in importance is the law.' I am told that Minnesota has a model law on this subject. I have secured a copy of it, but I regret that I have not had time to examine it The laws of the various TO TX79T USTOBT. ' We are pleased to notice that in the account of the Sorosla club : of The Dallea a day was given to Washington city. It has often' been a matter of . wonderment why more clubs and his tory classes do not adopt this plan of studying history. The class will take up, 'for instance, the Colonial period, 'and skim over the country, hither and yon, paying attention to battles, peo- pie and things, endeavoring to get their facta" chronologically fixed, and paying the slightest attention possible, and taxing their memory scarcely at all, with geographical situations when as a matter of fact if every city of any importance, and - many of the minor ones, were taken tip and studied from t their -beginnings, a vast amount of his tory would be learned that never goes into the "history books;", and dates, peoplo and facts would be so Indelibly fixed by that best of all methods for . memorising association -that : nothing would ver efface them. It would also be an added source of pleasure to those who are able to , en joy the benefits of travel, for how often we will hear some one say after a-bit of the history of a city Is told: "I am so sorry I did not remember what oc curred in that city,. I would have hunted up the place if 1 had "known it. when I was. there." They: remembered the fact, perhaps even the date, but not that some city is built upon historic ground. , - '.. : ' -' - We remember; for instance, all about the " wars of Pontiao,: but : forget that '.the old chief lay wounded, nigh unto death on the very spot where now stands ' the Michigan stove works, in the center of the city of Detroit, and under the tree, the iron-bound stump of '-which 'now bears aloft a . statue to the valiant chief, he was put while the battle waged ao fiercely that the stream, which is now walled and crossed and recrossed ' by many electric car lines, ran red with blood .; and .was ever after known as Bloody Run. Would it not have added Interest to your trip had you known it when you passed it on : your way to Blue. Isle park, which was named for General Cass'., beautiful daughter, who exchanged her American .birthright for a foreign title? Every city has thou sands of just such bits of history which we lose In studying one. country aa one great whole, ".''.''';'" '" sV ' It ; H '-'V i TXADS IOKOOXi . TOB OIKZJI., "Want of thoroughness", seems to be the greatest objection raised to manual training, domestic science, and trade schools generally. And it hv of ten ad vanced to refute their usefulness,, that pupils are rushed through without learn ing the first principles, or, their art-or trade. This has no doubt often been the case in the past, but .as they attain greater proficiency this . flaw is- being corrected evidence of which is dis played in the report of the first year's work of the Manhattan trade school for .girls, part of which ia as follows: "The - trades for which ) instructions are : given are those that .center about certain tools, i e., the needle, -such as millinery, fine, garment making, dress making, neckwear, - and embroidery; those that use the footpower and elec tric power machines, -such as the nu merous clothing - trades, upholstering; operating special machines, such as bot .tonhole, hemstitching ' and ' embroidery, etc.; and those that depend on the ex pert use of paste or glue, sch as label- ' ing, sample mounting, pocketbook and cardfcase making, library outfits, blank- states should be examined by a compe tent person, in sympathy with the sub ject The manner of their execution and effectiveness should be' observed, and we should adopt the best. I am. sure we now have a good law, but I have found few laws on any subject that were not capable of some improvement. , We have made- progress; let-us go on;tt The .speaker read the following state laws: . . . -. ' , Oregon Laws oa Tirs. : "Kindling any fires, without ' maHce," without the consent of the owner of the land upon which it is kindled and the same shall do damage, on conviction the party shall be punished by a line of from $10 to $100. -. - ' .. - ,.,' "Any person trespassing upon the land of another for the purpose of hunting, or fishing. who. shall, without the-con-i sent of the owner of said land, kindle any fire thereon, shall be . punished by a frne of not Hsa than $10- or more than $100; and if said fire be kindled malic iquHly, the offender shall be punished by a fine hot les than $20 or more than $250, or by imprisonment in the county Jail for not' Kbs than three months or more than one year. "Any person who'shall wilfully set flre to any forest belonging to the state of Oregon or the United States, upon con viction Bhall be punished by a fine not exceeding $l,000 or by imprisonment not exceeding one .year, or both. One half the fine goes to the informer. . ) "It Is the duty of the governor to Is sue a . proclamation on the first day of July of each year, calling the attention to the above statutes. . It is also -the duty of the circuit Judge, in charging the grand Jury on their duties, to call atten tion to these statutes. ' "It Is the duty of the game and for estry warden to see that the above laws, as far as possible, are enforced, and the appropriation for said purposes is $2,500." J&and. Zas Should Be Changed. Continuing Mr.. Wilson said: - - There is general attention . attracted now to the ..land laws -of the United States., I am convinced that some of them should be . immediately changed. Why should the price per acre of tim ber land be the same all over the western country, disregarding its accessibility, ita quality and its quantity? ' In my humble, opinion this is not a rational law.- " - -' There has been great hue and cry and prominent and sensational suits oyer the fact that some one has made false affidavits to secure title to some of the public land, and immediately after secur ing title have conveyed it to cattle kings or stock barons. If this is obectionable to the government, for any reason, why does it not pass a law, preventing the homesteader from leasing or selling the land for five or 10 years after he has completed his part of th bargain? and enforcing it by not conveying title, or del liverlng tfce patent? , . ""Remember these two facts: " Oregon wants and is advertising for settlers and capital. The Lewis and Clark fair is almost due, We want the people and their, money, The moment a tract of timber land passes from the government to an individual, it is taxable, not before. The owner helps to build school houses and roads. ' The last figures I saw. Ore gon had 34.000,000 acres of public lands ana Washington only 9.000,000. "What is the remedy? Sell the tim ber to the capitalist on a stumpaae basis. and allow him a reasonable time to log it Do not sell it to him to hold for speculation, but for development and use. Keep the land for homebullders." book work, novelty box making, etc. These trades employ large numbers of women.. They require expert workers; training for them is difficult to obtain. They are well paid; favorable conditions prevail in the workrooms., and there ia a chance of promotion to better pay, '"The policy. ia to train each worker for a special part of her trade. Indi vidual instruction gives an opportunity to. rise as rapMly as posaibhvWhena student shows ability she is advanced. Each trade has recognised steps. The schools aim to give each girl aa rap idly aa possible the experience and re quisite speed in one step before she takes the next In this Important change from the'- usual course in Kehnlcal classes (which is to cover an entire field with one experience of a kind) the atudent is adapted directly to workroom de mands,, but 'the result in work for ex hibition is less Interesting, , for she has not reached the higher branches of the trade.

Every, step., in the - milliner's art has need of experience as well as speed in accomplishment. A girl who had taken a course merely touching on each step la the making and trimming of a hat is not really, fitted for the 5trader; and usually has to begin at the bottom of the ladder and slowly climb.

Among the statements of the ob ject of the association was: "To assist in all -ways possible to make Brooklyn school a center from which shall radiate a social, mantal and moral Influence, j which shall be felt in this community." i In pursuance of .the above purpose the association gave a musical enter tainment and social Friday evening for the benefit ot the library of the Brook lyn school. Many of the members of the association are now attending the high school, but continue to, use the reference books , at Brooklyn school. They are anxious to add to the already well selected list, Certainly Brooklyn 'school and pupils are making a . most enviable record un der -the wise, able and sympathetic guidance of tha principal, Miss Dimick. and to pupils, ' teachers and principal alike is due the . advanced ideas, the progressive work and the far-reaching influence of Brooklyn school.- In no way could this be made more manifest than in this effort to maintain a library by the pupils who have passed beyond the lower grades, that they may come back and enjoy tne benefits and influence of their early school days. , When . tae teacher can reach out and hold the con fidence of her pupils beyond the con fines of school walls and school day there is a great future in store for, that school and those pupils. ' rV T0BX8TBT CLUB. There arJewclubs in the stateihat are growing so rapidly in Interest as this one. .. Forestry is a subject that except by the expert who has studied It for business purpqees, attracted little attention until Interest was aroused in the lamentable results from the destruc tion of forests' were made known. . The edict that went forth from our "city fathers" a few years ago to cut away the trees around the Placa block, spurred he present club Into life and activity,, and the attempt is being made by its members to - make themselves so conversant with laws and conditions that they will be in a position to not dhly suggest remedies but protest intel ligently against wanton destruction. The last meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Lambertson, 652 Broad the Latest Novelties in Neckwear UTTZ.B SEMSTZTOHES FBXX.L. What a comfort the new fashion of collarlqss gpwns is! Any woman who has worn one will agree with this, and there ia no prettier way to finish a house gown, or one for evening wear, than in a soft shirring' Just at the throat line. For plain little shirt waist suits to be worn indoors a pleated frill of hem stitched lawn la very new, and. though it is becoming to very few people when it is so,, you can have nothing prettier. For those who must wear high 'collars way, ; last Tuesday, and was . unusually well attended, as. alm,ost all the mem bers and a number of visitors' were present Among the latter was Mrs. Bishop, president , of the Salem Lewis and Clark club. The address of the afternoon was made by Mr. A. King Wilson and was of such interest that the club requested a copy be given to the editor pf the woman's department .; of The Evening Journal that., others' 'throughout the state might have the benefit of it : !. Mr. Wilson, kindly consented and it will be found in another column. After the. address delightful refresh ments were served by the hostess. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Alice Ogden March 1. - The - membership- which is limited to 30 is about full, v A BTOOESTIOK. In. the account of a national conven tion, recently held in JJew Orleans, this statement was made relating to the pro gram: - The basis of the discussion, a carefully thought out 'review .' of . The Relations Between Rent and Interest,', by Professor Fetter of Cornell, had been printed and sent out some-weeks before to the participants in the formal debate. V The result was a series of compact, incisive criticisms that were distinctly worth while."- This method seems to have solved one of the great convention problems and to be In line with present day demands and economics Hbe economy of , time, which is the great requisite. In every thing, from the building of a, man of war to the construction rof. :& . mouse trap. , ' ' tr ' "i It is the observation of everyone who has frequently attended ' conventions that the greatest percentage of time is I occupied in ."getting down to things. ' ing "has to be explained, : over and over again,. and much-valuable time occupied in, waiting for volunteers' to begin tha discussion. Even where persons are as signed, beforehand, to take part In the debate, new points will often be pre sented that are wholly unexpected, and the unprepared debatert especially ; if an amateur,' will hesitate to take the floor. Thus statements and opinions ara-often nccepted by a convention which, from, the writer's point of view or means of obtaining information, are authentic, but are misleading unless other lights are brought to play upon them. The method of Prpfessor Fetter .- would -be of vast Denent to any garnering; nut peculiarly so In conventions of women, who assem lle to discuss questions of public inter est . ' .. ' ' .' t,' Women are accused, and quite justly, of taking the emotional or sympathetic view of a question. If given the opin ions of some one else In black and white. for the express purpose of criticism, it would, have a double benefit that of making them consider tha question more deliberately, and, if for nothing but the spirit that is innate with us all, looking into it deeply and thoroughly, enough to present something -equally as good aa the one we are to answer to say .'noth ing of , the courage it will give and the time it would, save. - Indeed it would not be a bad idea for every club to adopt some such method. but we hope this seed dropped may take root and at least two or three topics, thus prepared and provided for, will be on the program of. our next state con vention, tt It $t TXB OTKXB STATES. The full effects of the campaign of last winter for child labor laws begins to be felt since the latest one. the law of New York, took effect on October 1, says the Club Worker.

In Illinois. And in both states children must be able to read and write in the English language before begin ning to work. In New Jersey and .-. Wisconsin the cruel provision permitting orphan chil dren to be employed younger than other children has happily been abolished,' and in both states all children boys . and girls, orphans and others must now be fully. ltyeara.of age before they can legally begin work.

And why should he be singled out for particular attention on our club women's page? Listen! He is ; the leader of the class against whom every woman in Oregon should use her influ ence. He was the chairman of an or ganized body of men who count as part of the spoils of their office the fees de rived from the transportation of that most unfortunate member of the body politic our Insane. He la the man who devoted several days during tha Febru ary session of our legislature ttme for which he, was paid out of the taxes of Multnomah county to the successful task of convincing our legislators that It was more profitable to the "sheriff!, and incidentally to the legislators them selves, td send iour insane to the asy lum in charge of a deputy-sheriff. Instead of in the care of a trained attendant Possessed of the freedom of the floor of the house, whether by consent of the house or to his own presumption, this noble sheriff from Multnomah cajoled, agreed or threatened the members up to the time the bill was called. Under the official leadership of Representative Hansbrough of Douglas county, and the unofficial whip-lash of the sheriff, in the hands' of Storey, the bill went down. lost by eight votes. Now, wherefore all the foregoing preamble? Simply this: that now Is the time for clubwomen to work, - ' From the speaker of the house down,' political ambition was considered before moral lawa and. humanity. There was no question aa to the justice of the bill. Idaho's experience in saving nearly half the expense under the old method - of handling the, insane proved that it was a wisajseasure from a financial point of view. The bill was defeated solely and purely through the graft of the sheriffs.
