ota added to Ills scora. Last week
William spent two days back of Vancou
ver, canvassing; amonc the farmers. Ha
covered 30 miles on hta wheel, stopping
at every farmhouse and talking for
subscriptions among the farmers. But
compared to his other efforts, his trip
was harren of results.
ill his wheeling William got only
aubcrlDtlons. He had one Interest
ing adventure. He asked a farmer for
a subscription and the farmer replied
that he had not time to talk about such
.things, for now that the harvesting
was on he had no time, he could get no
help.
Swapped Work for Totes,
The farmer told' William that If he
would get a harvest hand for him he
would be willing to talk contest. The
" farmer continued with his work. Wil
liam pulled off his coat. He took
pitchfork and gave a helping hand to
the man. when they had finished tne
task me rarmer turned to tne piucicy
contestant and said:
"Well, lad, how much do I owe youf
"A year's subscription to The Jour
nal," was the reply.
And he got It.
Several similar transactions have
given William vote. More than one
lady has told him that If he will find
her some roomers, nhe will give him a
subscription. He Is out for business,
and, like the patent right man, he will
trade for anything. lie keeps In mind
the lady wanting roomers when he
cornea to the mill or a factory,

If a prospective subscriber says to

"H. T. CORUM.
TORA E. CORUM."
The elder Corum was postmaster at
Waplnitla for 21 years. He has had a
store there for JO vears.
. Curtis made several calls at The
Halle, anil then came on to Portland.
His mother Is spending a few weeks
near Cedarville, on the Estacada line
for her health.
BnnchgTasser Oets IiOBt.
When Curtis came to Portland he had
several experiences which are new to
him. He had never before been In a
town larger than The Dalles. He had
no trouble In finding The Journal office.
But he said he got hopelessly lost when
he tried to follow directions and go two
blocks to 31S Alisky building, the edi
torial room of the contest editor.
This little bunchgrasser can stick a
bucking broncho and rope a steer, and
he can ride a horse gracefully on the
dead run over tall sagebrush and deadly
badger holes. But the motion of being
shot through space in an elevator gave
him a queer feeling in his stomach.
He accepted the invitation of the con
test editor to dinner, and he said that
the bill of fare was more bewildering to
him. than the worst Jungle In the Cas
cade mountains. He asked his enter
tainer to mark out a clear map of a
good dinner for him, as he d have to
give it up.
Curtis had seen steamboats at The
Dalles, but he had never ridden on one
until he came to Portland.
While in Portland he canvassed the
wholesale houses, from which his father
buys goods.
Congratulated by Pioneer Walker.
Curtis has received a letter from the
father of another contestant, which
he thinks Is very fine. It follows:

Mahogany Hunters.
Mahogany trees do not grow In clus
ters, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden in a dense growth of
underbrush, vines and creepers and re
quire a skillful and experienced woods
man to find them. He seeks the highest
ground In a forest, climbs to the ton
of the tallest tree and surveys the sur
rounding country. The mahogany has
a peculiar foliage and his practiced eye
soon detects the trees within sight.
The axemen follow the hunter and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
large mahogany taking two men a full
day to fell it. The tree has large spurs, I
wnicn project rrom tne trunic at Its
base, and scaffolds must be erected so
that the tree can be Cut off above the
spurs. This leaves a stump 10 to 15
feet high, which la sheer waste, as the
stump really contains the best lumber.
The nunter naa nothing to do with
the work of cutting or removing the
tree, his duty being simply to locate It.

The situation forces upon the minds
of Indians and others Interested In fos
terlnc the leather trade of India the
question of protection. The only meas
ure thus far discussed to any extent is
an export duty, which, however, does not
seem to meet what has been character
ised as "the critical pass to which the
leather trade In India has been reduced."
It la realised that foreign merchants
must have hides tany cost and that
the export duty would simply serve to
raise prices of hides, which would place
the leather conrerns In India In a
worse condition than '.hey are 40 w.
Plague Swept India.
During the first three and one-half
montns or 107 the deaths from the
plague In India totaled 494,000. the
heaviest monthly mortality yet reported
during the epidemic. According to the
inaian world this would appear to
show that the present year will exhibit
a record number of deaths.
The plague records for the 10 years
October, 1896, to December. 1906, show
that there was a large annual Increase
from 1901 to 1904, the deaths number
ing 274,000 in 1901. 677,000 in 1902. 557,
000 In 1803, and 1,022,000 in 1904. the

There was.a i.maJl leorrn. In 1905,
the death tailing to 951,060, and a
large decrease in 1906, when there war
only 332,000. The total deaths for the
whole 10 years numbered 4, 411, tit. Th
Improvement which was shown In ths
two years, 1905 and 1906, has not, US"
fortunately, been maintained. '
From the first appearance ths dla
