-Julian W. Perkins of Medford, the

at the last session of the legislature,
is at the Imperial en route home from
Chicago, Indlanapolla and other eastern
cities, where he has been on aa ex
tended business Visit .": r. ----
Mr. Farklna left Oregon In a hard
atorm with high expectatlona of having
a very pleaaant visit so far as climate
waa concerned. He returns . with ' be

conviction that Oregon Is the beat place
on earth, anyway. .:r ..

i "I would not trade my equity In Ore
gon climate and live In the eaat If some
beneficent Providence would make me a
present of the whole of Cook county,
Illinois." said Mr.. Parkins- between
coughs this morning. "Oregon Is the
place for me and. I do not Intend to
wander from - my little apple orchard
again," he continued.. "I era not go

them from experience ana ODservauon

rwhy. the air back there bites a per-
aon like it waa some ravenous em max
I think It la perpetually mad because
It cannot blow over to Oregon without
having to change its disposition.''
Mr. Perkins la much Impressed with
the advance made In the eastern part
of the state by reason of Irrigation and
his trip has ahown him anew what a
really Important measure waa the irri
gation coda which he attempted to paaa
through the legislature. He is also
sorrv.that Governor Chamberlain' vetoed
the Johnson road bill, basing hla Bor
row both upon the disappointment which
he says the veto brought to the farmer
but also upon the adverse effect wnicn
he prophesies the action will bsveupon
the governors future ponucai cnancas.

"Governor Chamberlain made e grave
political mistake when he lopped off the
Johnaon road bill," eald Mr. Perklna,
after he bad finished with the climate
of the state. - "In my belief that veto
alone will cost him his election to what
ever office be- may sesk -tha- neit-JIme

gon, aa well aa other sections of the
state, are all aore in spirit because of
that veto. They wanted a road law and
are much dlaaatiafled -because the gov

vided. I think the veto was, a grave

Dublin, March 21. If the extent to
which Irishmen1 la Ireland contribute ',
to the support of the Irish party re ' -fleets
their fsltb In It then there is po
avoiding tbe conclusion that confidence .'
In It has greatly diminished. . .
On top of glowing aooounta of enor
mous subscriptions raised in America .
and Australia eomee a1, fresh ., appeal
from' the national trusteea to eubscrlb
to the parliamentary fund.' In view
of ' the generous - aubsldles obtained
abroad it was generally supposed the
parliamentary ' exchequer stood .In no
need of replenishing at this juncture, f,
It baa led to an analysis' of - tbe
sources from which subscriptions are
obtained, with results that are decided -ly
startling and significant. Of the '
270.000 acknowledged In 10 only IIS..
000 was collected la Ireland, while l5.
000 eame from abroad. la 102 Ireland
contributed 142.000. -The contributions ..:
from Irishmen - in Ireland have fallen
off 112.000 In one year. The decline haa
been most marked in th great national
let provinces of Munster and Connaught.
Munater subscribed 17.000 leas In 10 -than
In 1105 and Connaughte contribu
tions diminished to the extent of 14,500.
Certainly these figure are not enoour-,
aging to the present leaders of the Irish -party.
However, Redmond and Dillon
may explain them, this is the Interprets
tlon that, William O'Brien puts on
them: , '
"It proves that the Irish party IS -only
now maintained by foreign aub- .
sorlptlons snd that the constitutional
basis on which It haa hitherto existed
baa disappeared. - It shows .that tbe ,
discontent of the people Is , universal
and will soon bs Ineradicable. It shat
ters the pretence that a party - which,
tha country haa declined to support is ,
ooUtlod to speak for It" ' . .

In tbe valley of Akatul. near the Mon

The convicts do their own cooking and
ha,ve to go frequently to a little build
ing used to store provisions In. , A tun- :
net was dug In this place big enough to
allow a human body to paaa. The work
was all done by snatches, carrying
away Otandfuls ef the earth and con
ceallng tbe bole Itself for a long time.
: Oershunl's comrades had frequently
to move to the storehouse barrel of
provisions. At a favorable opportunity
Oerahunl was smuggled Into the store

eyes of the unsuspecting warder, snd
left there for the night.
Fortunately Oershurtlt was not kept in -solitary
