In these times there 1s a multitude of women and girl wage earners even In our comparatively small cities of the west, and their welfare Is a proper subject of con sideration by the women of every city. It has often been said that wo men do not stand by one another, that they are neglectful of and cruel to their more unfortunate sisters. If this has been true; it Is something to be corrected or amended. The working girls and women should have friends ttmong all women In better circumstances. A woman's commercial club might be of advan tage and benefit In several ways in this or any similar city. to, the state and equally detrimental to the paper, as shown by a clrcula tlon of only 36,000 within Oregon, figures that under other leadership Should have more than doubled. .

The largest number of cadets In any Institution is at the University of Illinois, with 1181. Military training is given at the state agricultural colleges of the country under the requirements of laws under which congress endows the institutions. The fruit is the many thousands of young men ex pert in military science and skilled In tactics, scattered throughout every state in the union, and form ing the nucleus of a formidable army in case of war. It reduces the necessity for a large standing' army, In that with so many trained civil ians available, a well officered force of large proportions could be quick ly drilled and thrown Into the field. The training is of inestimable value to the student because of the disci pline that is enforced. It straight ens hla figure, broadens his horizon, teaches him self-restraint and en larges his discretion and judgment. According to a Spokane publica tion, more" than 200 new industries wereestablls1ied In the state of Washington last year, and more than 53,000 newcomers were Induced to come into that state through the publicity work of 125 commercial bodies, which spent almost $400,000 In prosecuting this immigration campaign. This is a good record for that Btate, and this region. With the railroad building and other de velopment occurring in Oregon this year, thla state should equal or per haps exceed, Washington In the ac quisition of new citizens and in new enterprises and other features of development. -While Washington will gain, muchas it deserves to do, Oregon under existing and "prospec tive conditions, should gain even more during the next few years,' and gain uponhe growth of its magnlfl cent sister state.

He As pitiful and sordid as Is the story of those two children who married on IS a week and who soon found that love vanished when no food came in, the end is not peculiar to them. It Is only what was to be expected In such an 111 ar ranged marriage. Such marriages are a crime against society, against the huabands and wive and against the helpleas children, which they bring Into the world. A child has right to a fair start and reasonable opportunities, -both Of which are dented it when the pinch of want Is continually felt loathe home. Happy marriages on nothing exist only In novels. A great amount of talking Is. done about divorces, but the only way to stop them is to go back to first principles and do away with the causes of divorce, one of which Is the Irresponsible marrying of people on Insufficient Incomes.

' (Pronounced as though spelled Boys ay, with the accent on the first syllable, the "a" )n the second syllable having tne same pronuncjationas in "senate.") Peary's Idea of the Eskimos. Commander Robert E. Peary gives in the i February number . of Hampton's Magaxine his own solution to a riddle that has puzzled explorers and -scientists for the past few centuries. That riddle ia the origin Of the Eskimos. ,.; The commander In this seoond install, ment of his ''Story of the Discovery Of the North Pole." reveals the lmoort- ance of well trained Eskimos in polar travel, and he incidentally gives a re markable sketch of the Greenland tribe that he himself employed. He says; The members of this little tribe in habiting thet western coast of Greenland from Cape York to Etah are Jri many ways quite different from the Eskimos of Danish Greenland or those of any other .Arcuo territory.- There-are now between 220 and 230 In the tribe." They are savages, but they are not savage: thex are without government; but they are riot lawless; they are utterly uned ucated according to our standard, yet they- exhibit a remarkable degree of In telligence.',. In temperament like chll dren, with all a child's delight in little things, they are nevertheless enduring as the most matured of civilised men and women, and the best of them are faith ful unto death. Without religion, and having no idea of God, they will share their last meal with anyone who ia hun gry, while the aged and the helpless among them , are taken care of as a matter of course. They are healthy and pure blooded; they have no vices, no intoxicants, , no. ' bad habitsnot even gambling. Altogether, they are a peo- j a a mimicry, Ingenuity and patience in mechanical duplication. There is" a strong resemblance between their stone houses and the ruins of houses fouhd in Bioena. The Eskimo girl brought home by Mrs. Peary in 1894 was mis taken by Chinamen for one of their own people, if haa been suggested that their Invocation of the spirit of their dead may be a survival of Asiatic an cestor worship."
