WORK
IN romplianee with the promise made
Ihf members of the annual conven
tion of the Oregon Federation of
Women's clubs which was held- a
La G'ande this month, we will be
gin this week tlu publication In this
fepsrtroent of the committee and club
reports thai were mado al that time.
The officers' reports will be published
' In the year book which is now in course
of preparation. The reports of several
committees follow:
Considering the effort put forth in
betialf of club extension, the results
seem small. One hundred and twenty
seven letters have oeen written to per
sonal friends, postmasters and members
of other clubs, concerning the tm
federated. The postmasters courteously
replied to .the best of their knowledge,
or handed the inquiries to the secretary
of the commercial clubs or chambers of
commerce. The clubwomen gave us
ali the help possible. Thirty-tTiree in
vitations have been extended. The re
plies are moat interesting. One club,
organized for purely social purposes,
saw tho need of a charity fund, and in
two years raised and disbursed 1400
for that purpose. Another established a
rest room, still another built a drinking
fountain, another obtained and beauti
fied a city park. Valuable as these
clubs would be to the state organisa
tion and in snite of all our argument,
they still prefer to work Independently,
A mixed club thought Itself ineligible.
A civic club stated it had a large mem
bership scattered from Alaska to South
America, with an initiation fee of 16
cents and no dues, but expressed the
hope at some time to be in a position to
belong to the federation. Two have the
matter under consideration at this time.
And td some letters we have received
no response. We are glad to announce
' that four have been added this y ear
ths Beautiful America of North Bend,
the Woman's club of Oswego, the
Mothers' and Teachers of Arleta, the
Woman's club of Hood River. With
these we now have 40 clubs In the state
federation of Oregon.

THE land marks commltee, through j
Its chairman, reports as follows: I
The different landmarks which !
I have had special interest in and soma!
part in establishing during the last year !
have not been done as club work, but
as .a member of an auxiliary of the
Oregon Historical society. The mem
bers of the historical society united
with the ladles of the Good Intent so
ciety of the Methodist Episcopal church
and together placed a brass tablet in
- the side of a sugar loaf rock, which
they named Pulpit Rock.
. We learned from an old Indian, Jo
seph I,uiillo that the Methodist mis
sionaries carved, out a seat in the top
of which they preached to Indians as
early) as 1836. " He came and told bis
story .to me two years ago. I asked
some of niy associates In the society
to go with us to the site of the old
mission and show us this primitive pul
pit, - His story was . pathetic and ex
tremely interesting, glvng many ncl
dents of missionary life of nearly 70
years ago.
The old man climbed In the seat oc
cupied by those pioneer preachers of
long ago. I sent for Mr. Qifford and
had him photographed. A few weeks
ago one of the teachers of the school
at T.uia WttH Mn T R fVuin. heiran
corresponding with our secrary Mrs.
Lulu D. Crandall. -in regard to marking
the grave of Frederick Homer Baloh.
the author of "The Bridge of the Gods."
The outcome was that we got up n
small party.-taking a stone cutter with
us, and went down to Lyle where we
-. were -met" by a delegation from Hood
River and one from White Salmon.
Manv of the residents of Lyle met us
there and' witnessed the ceremonies. We
had a rough granite boulder ut and set
as a marker on a concrete base at the
head of his grave. .
, We also dedicated the building erect
ed by Balch for a hurcn and now usea
s a achoolhouse. "The Balch school,"
and had a tables placed upon the front
with the name.
I have petitioned our city council to
place a tablet in tne stonewora or our
new city hall, now nearly completed,
stating that the site is that of the first
courthouse between the Cascades and
Rocky mountains. This Is to be a brass
tablet cemented into one of the large
square stonea of the foundation. The
council has -laced the matter in the
hands of a committee and I have every
reason to believe my wishes will be
carried out
I want to say to the ladies that it
was a positive grief to me that I was
unable to accept Mr. Himes" kind invi
tation of a year ago to accompany Colo
nel Shaw and himself to La Grande to
locate and mark the Indian battleground
near that place. This is all I have to
report for 1908. With kindly greetings
for all and good wishes for a harmon
ious session I remain

IN the Absence of Miss Helen L. Spald
ing chairman of the Scholarship
Loan Fund, who was detained by Ill
ness, the following report was read by
Mrs. Frederick Eggert:
Of the. applicants assisted last year,
the first was a young woman studying
kindergarten work, who received $50.
The second was a young woman study
ing music, who received $50. The third,
a young woman from eastern Oregon,
who wished to study music. She was
most highly recommended by her teach- j
erg. She received $50, and has mado
such progress that she writes she will
be able to repay the loan before the first :
of the year.
The fourth, one of the most interest
ing cases that has come to the knowl
edge of the committee. She was a
young girl who had a thirst for knowl
edge, but no ad ant.-iges. being one of a
family of IS children the prospect of
opportunity was anything but bright
for her. Her application came at a
time when the funds were low, and so
the committee agreed to advance one
half of the sum of $50 which she applied
for, provided the school would give the
other half.
An interested friend went to see the
head of the school in her behalf, and
he gladly and roost cheerfully consented
to the proposition. Friends interested
themselves in her wardrobe. She
worked for her board during the first
term, and she In every way proved lier
elf so worthy that the school lias given
her work which wiil secure her way for
the future, and all this dividend has
accrued from a loan of $25.
The fifth case was a young woman
recommended by the president of one of
our large institutions as a young woman
of exceptional ability. 61ie arked for
- 1180 in three installments of $50 each.
The sixth case is from the same in
stitution. This young woman is also
highly recommended by the president.
She received $50 lust before the close
of her school term, and Is now doing
iournalistic work.
These have, all except the fourth
ease, 'finished their school work.
At present there are two applicants
highly recommended by Professor Car
son and Mrs. Stafford.
The one applied for $?50 In five In
stallments, and has received the first
Installment of $50.
The 'second asked for $100, In two in'-llments.-
and has received the first
ISO. '- ,
There are applications for the next
year, but . the committee has reached
the limit of Its means, and in order to
continue this work we should have an'
ever growing fund, which should finally
r"ih at least lle.000.
I'p. to the present time we hav not
vet received back any of the. money
loaned, - ' ' -
4. me is now teaching, and desires to
hut can not at present. - Another
titfa the money rejy to jfmy. jmt as yet
we have not received it. -
Thus far- ouc,w-rts; - has boen In a

some plan must be evolved regulating
the refunding of the loans.
We suggest that printed forms oT
conditions of loan should be supplied,
and the thought has occurred, that it
may prove expedient ana even necessnu
to charge Interest after the beneficiary
has for a stipulated period reached the
status of a wage earner, or attained the
possibility of self support.
The chairman of the committee, as
also all its members, desire to express
appreciation for all the clubs have done
in the furtherance of this noble work,
and earnestly appeal to all to continue
In well doing.
Let us not forget to emphasize the
Important fact that this Is the major
work of this federation.
The committee would reiterate Its an
preciation of all that has been done by
the clubs, and urge that all who have
not participated in this important enter
prise should have some part in it, how
ever smalt.
The committee most heartily seconds
the suggestion pf our president that the
last Wednesday of January shall each
year be dedicated and set apart for this
most worthy cause, thus keeDlns- it an
nually and perennially before us, having
In mind the fact that upon that day
1,800 women scattered throughout the
state are all with our accord eacn in
her own place working for the accom
plishment of one and the same object.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN L. SPALDING.

THIS -meeting closes the third year
of my work as chairman of the
Oregon reciprocity department or
rather as we decided to call It last year,
the bureau ojf information.
The labor has been exceeding pleas
ant. My only regret is. that I have been
unable to 'interest more clubs In this
part of our federation work.
The first of the year I sent to all
the clubs In the state, lists of papers
we had on hand, accompanied by a let
ter asking for contributions, club pa
pers, year books, newspaper clippings
on everyday subjects and matters of In
terest to club women, Several clufcs
responded by sending their year book
and often a written report of woric
done by the members. Please accept
my thanks for all those so kindly sent.
A new departure has been made, this
year which bids fair to-be of inestimable
value to our little federation. Letter
have been received from the reciprocity
bureau of other states offering an ex
change of papers. Some were received
from the bureau of Idaho and although
the work is new there much has been
accomplished. Recently I received a
catalogue from the Colorado reciprocity
bureau. Reciprocity means giving as
well as receiving. If we have a good
article, pass It on1 so that others may
profit by It also. Now Just a worJ
to the papers to be sent, we are es
pecially in need of practical, common
sense articles. In looking over our list
you will readily see that we have many
scholarly compositions, but are lament
ably lacking in up to date essays. We
need papers on civic improvement one
club sent asking me how to kill weeds
and the only thing I could tell them was
to get a goodly number of hoes with
men or boys at one end of them,
on the prevention of tuberculosis and
on all questions that are constantly
coming up. Papers on mythology or
ancient literature are interesting to the
student, but live club women are think
ing of the things of the present an 1
are anxious to know how to bring .up
their boys and girls to be useful clt
tsens.
Another matter I would call the at
tention of the club presidents to, is to
see that the papers sent from the bu
reau are returned, several valuable pne
having been lost in that way. I would
recommend that the president of the
club send for the papers wanted, and
that she consider herself responsible
for their return, also that applications
for papers be accompanied by six cents
postage.
It Is hoped that this year will see a
renewed Interest In the bureau, that
many papers and articles of worth will
be sent us, and that you will call upon
us for aid when you think we can be
of any help.
To those who are on the committee
with me, I would say, do all In your
?ower to gather items of interest for
he bureau, perhaps someone In your
club has given a lecture which some
other club would gladly pay to hear,
if so let It be known.
Trusting that the coming year will
be the best we have had yet.
MRS. J. C. PRITCHARD.

SINCE the convention last year five
clubs have reported to your com
mittee as having maintained a club
column In their local papers, a commit
tee having charge of the work and con
ducting It after the plan outlined by
the state committee.
Among the clubs having done very
credible press work are the Oregon City
Woman's club. La Grande Neighbor
hood club. Roseburg '95 Mental Culture
club, Eugene Fortnightly club, and Pen
dleton Thursday Afternoon club.
There are. I am sure, a few others, but
I have had no reports up to the pres
ent time.
Many clubs see the benefit of such
work and would be alad to take It un
nut for tne need, as one eluo memner
expresses it, "of finding some one or
two persons willing and able to devote
the time to It." From this, and other
suggestions gleaned from correspond
ence, I conclude that press work would
he more generally taken up by the clubs
if it were somewhat systematized. I
would therefore offer the following
suggestions: That all chairmen of state
committees, in making up their yearly
letter to the clubs, include general in
formation regarding their particular de-
n.lrtminfi In Btiitnhla ftrm f ny niihll-
cation. These letters could then be
turned over to the press committee,
thus helping the press work, while ma
terially advancing their own..
And now a word to those clubs who
want information regarding press work.
The object is to put club work this
grand movement of which we, with
thousands of noble women are a part.
In its true light before the community,
before the world. To tell of the good
laws, the educational advancement. In
fact all things which make for the wel
fare of the home. For to all these
the club women stand pledged.
The need is, then, not lack of object,
nor lack of opportunity; for the press
of our fair state, so far as I can learn,
stand ready to place at your disposal
as much space as you can fill, the need
is for workers. Club women, would you
have the power to make laws? Here is
the opportunity to make public opinion,
which not only makes laws but which
also enforces them.
With the hope that the club women
of Oregon will recognize this opportun
ity to advance all lines of club work.
This report Is respectfully submitted.
MRS. MERWIN PUGH,
Chairman.

PURE FOOD COMMITTEE reports
Since the last convention of the
Oregon State Federation of
Women's clubs held at Salem October?
1907, the members of the stats purs
food committee have been made to face
the situation, as the newspaper account
put it of proving up or shutting up, and
they chose the former. The stats dairy
commission Ixu) Issued a. statement, as
they had often done through many pre
ceding years, that the dairies supplying
milk to Portland were clean and sani
tary. The time had now come for the
women u prove the falsity of the re
port, or forever hold their peace.
Personal investigation was decided
upon as being; the only satisfactory
course to take. Accordingly, accompa
nied by The Journal photographer,' they
drove out the Cornell road.: one of the
main thoroughfares leading Into the
city. A few miles out on this charming
country road, macadamised like a city
street and noted lor Its lovely scenery,
they came to the first dairy, -several
viws of Which will 'be givn on the
f '"re"rl--n sHi'ei f,' .''o v li iMVi) be
fore the convention. But no slides could
do Justice to the accumulated filth
which evrvwhere Dervaded this Place.
The cows (SO miserable animals are
milked at this dairy) stood around knee
deep in mud and liquid manure, their
sides caked with stable excretion. The
barn where the animals stood to be
milked, reeked with filth, there being
no floor 1 drainage or method Of hosing
It out Not more than 16 feet from the
stable was the milk room, where the
milk was. strained and poured into the
milk cans.
Here was the horror of horrors in
this dairy Inferior. The tubs In whlcn
the milk cans were washed were on
this day filled with water. In which
were snaklns- rllrtr socks, overalls, un
derclothing and cloths, presumably the
straining cloths, over heaa nung lines
of dripping clothes, while on the floor
were niles of soiled clothes. In these
odoriferous surroundings were rows of
n-.llk cans inverted on hanging aneives
to air and dry.
Less tharf 30 feet from the mllkhouse
men were dumrilng manure from the
stable, leaving It to eventually settle
under and around tne mugnouse. uui
of this mound of muck rose the pump,
which was sunk Into a spring beneath
the mass, and furnished water for ren
dering the cans Uean and sanitary.
The fame of. this dairy now bids fair
to become national. It came about in
this way: Ah official of the dairy di
vision of the agricultural department at
Washington, D. C. was shown these
views and was told of the conditions
existing at this dairy. By request of
the department at Washington those
?hotographs have since been forwarded
o Washington, the official stating that
the conditions were about the worst that
had ever been brought to his sttentlon.
Other dairies were visited at different
times by this committee, and were found
to rival in every, particular the unsan
itary conditions of the dairy described
above. A few nice clean dailies were
found, but they were the oases In the
desert waste of reeking filth and shift
lessness. This is the first chapter in the story
of Oregon dairies, but If olub women
can be relied upon to rise to an emer
gency this will not be the last Install
ment of the story.
As in previous reports, this commit
tee does again recommend to the fed
erated clubs of the state active and per
sistent effort along two lines:
First, the improvement of the milk
supply.
Second, the improvement of sanitary
conditions in markets and provision
stores. '
In this connection we would add that
the report of the pure food committee
of the General Federation of Women's
clubs, By Mrs. Walter McNab Miller,
chairman, was prepared as a guide to
clubs desiring to take up work along
these lines. Numerous copies of this
report, also many copies of the Portland
clean list requirements have been dis
tributed by this committee to the clubs
of the state.
Communications were mailed to the
federated clubs requesting that they re
port to the chairman of this committee
any work or study pursued along the
lines of milk or market Inspection
Some encouraging replies were received,
showing an awakening Interest in the
subject. j
Respectfully submitted.

THE coming session of the Oregon
legislature promises to be an in
teresting one, as well as an. Im
portant one for Oregon club women.
We are to be witnesses of the strug
gle between old line politics and the
new democracy the battle between
government by the machine and gov
ernment by the people. No one knows
Detter than tne ciud woman, the vital
izing, educating force that conies from
direct participation in the affairs if
the day. Since organization Is part of
the education of the modern woman,
whether in women's clubs, college 'fra
ternities, church societies, woman has
become a more and more intelligent
factor in the work of the world. She
Is no longer the child, neither in intel
lect comprehension nor in participation.
She is becoming the coworker of her
brother man. The Oregon woman has
not come into a full nartnershin until
she has a direct voice in the affairs
or .government and no one realises more
fully than the club woman, what dore'et
participation means, and to the mem'
bers of the legislative committee, this
need comes with particular emphasis,
to attend the sessions of the legislature,
ss some of us have oome to be eJ lowed
the privilege of presenting our- meas
ures to the legislators' simply through
their' courtesy to be made to If eel as
Is so often the case, -that we wre an
Infliction that la part of the dtaabree
able Bide of the legislator's' duty, and
must be borne with, to know th at these
measures mean a better condition for
women and children, and. as . conse
quence, a better cituenshlD will result-
to anow mat tnrougn tne enorts or our
club women, more humane provisions
have been made ror our unioitunates;
to realise all this, and to realise 'as wen,

of watchfulness, that passed by before
we could attain to suecess; ana xo know
that had we been voters with a direct
power that same success would have
been ours in nan tne time, is anuwieoge
that should convert each one of us to
equal suffrage.
But the experience has brought with
It wisdom, and the measures which your
legislative committee submit for your
consideration, nave oeen careruny Bin
ed. We believe that it is wiser to con.
centrate on a few bills, rather than
scatter our forces by advocating a. larger
number. The first. Din is a resurrec
tion -a bill that was Dresented two ses
tlons ago a bill which provides that
no married man may become security
for another man'a note, without the
wife attaching her signature to tha
note.
2. An amendment to the school law
which will nrnvldn that schnolhouses
may be used for other than educational
purposes. , This Is directly in the in
terest of the community. We- believe
that our school buildings should be
neighborhood centers and they-are too
valuable to be in use but one third of
the time. They should be the common
ground for the parents as .they are now
common ground ror tne cnuoren.
X. We hone to amend our pure food
and drug act so that it shall be consid
ered unlawful for any patent medicine
vender to throw about samples or nis
wares. It is a dangerous practice ana
should be stopped. Elaboration on this
topic is unnecessary. We have heard too
many cases of death or serious illness
through children or careless people tak
ing the medicine.
1. Our law orovidlnr for public
playgrounds needs attention in that part
rererring to cities or tne rirst ciass,
and should be the direct Interest of the
Portland club woman. The present law
creates a special commission for Port
land. The execution should be placed
rather in the hands of the park board.
which will always be composed of peo
ple directly interested ana with a run
knowledge of the resources of the town.
rather than as it is at present. In the
hands of people who are tne neaas ot
certain organisations, who may not have
the least interest in the subject
These four measures, we Deueve. tne
rluh women should Initiate and for
these, they should be directly response.
In the matter or cooperation, we snan
be ssked to lend our sunoort to the bill
to be presented bv the State Society for
the -Prevention of Tuberculosis, which
will Drovlde for the cure or tubercular
poor.
The Consumers' league will ask us to
help In the amendment of the 10-hour
law so tnat it wiu appiy u leiepuune
women operators.
Th child labor commission of which
our honored president is a member, asks
for your watchfulness in case our ene
mies attack the law. The legislation we
guard is preventive our state is bulld
Inir un raDidlv and with this building
come the evils as well ss the advan
tagesand the Oregon Prisoners' Aid
society will ask for our cooperation in
amending the indeterminate sentence
law. as well as help in passing new laws
for a better control and for establish
ing better conditions for our unfortu
nate brothers who have crossed the
line.
In closing This report, we ask the
direct attention of the' delegates in the
matter of bringing to tne attention or
the home clubs and to the necessity for
nromt action on communications sent to
them by the committee if tne commun
ication is lam on tne taoie. aavise tne

OWING to numerous personal cares
which cannot well t be explained
here, I, as chairman of your Indus
trial committee, was for some time af
ter my appointment in grave doubt of
my- ability to retain the position and
am therefore unable to report such prog
ress as I would wish. After deciding to
take the responsibility and continue the
work, I found it necessary So begin at
the very foundation to acquaint myself
with the conditions of the labor world,
as I had not been in suffiblently close
touch with the industrial situation to
have any more than a general lmpres-.
sion of the condition of working wo
men and children of our state. Tour
committee is now, however, prepared for
active work, ready to supply informa
tion to alK clubs In the federation,- and
to cooperate with Its legislative com
mittee in securing the enactment .t of
laws looking to the betterment of so
cial and Industrial conditions for wo
men and children.
We purpose also to send copies of the
10-hour law for women as well as the
child labor and compulsory education
laws to the various clubs throughout,
the state and endeavor to enlist their ac
tive assistance in the enforcement of
said laws. -
In the hope that our efforts may re
suit in the crentlnn at a mnr lm mit I
humane public sentiment towards all
classes of workers and a fuller recog
nition by each and all of us of our
common orotherhood.
