H.; Great Scholar; Prom inent in National Affairs. New York, Feb. S. The one-hund-, redth anniversary of the birth .of Horace Greeley, greatest of all American Jour ' nallats, was fitly observed today by ap propriate exercises In the public schools of the state and by memorial gatherings Under the auspices of various historical nd patriotic organizations In nearly all the colleges and other Institutions of learning throughout the state. Special celebrations were held under the auspi ces of the City club and by Typogra phical union No. 6, whose first presi dent Horace Greeley was. Large crowds visited Greeley's old farm at Chappaqua, Westchester county, where he lived dur ing the latter and most eventful parf : of his life. -Horace Greeley was born on a farm five miles from Amhurst, N. H-, on February I. 1811. His father was poor . and Horace had little opportunity to obtain more than the most primitive education. As a small boy Horace Greeley was an omnivorous reader and with the aid of an excellent memory he succeeded In acquiring not only a thor ough knowledge of the English language ' but a large amount of heterogeneous In formation, which proved of great value to him In later years. : Mater's Apprentice. At the age of 15 he entered the of fice of the Northern Spectator at Eat Poultney, Vt, as apprentice. He seemed to be bom to the trade and soon he was the best printer In the shop. It might also be added that even at that time he was a better Journalist than the edi tor of . that paper. Gre&ey remained with that paper until It dibd from lack of support five years later- During those years he spent the greater part of his meager wages to hi father, who had removed to a farm near Erie, Pa. After the Spectator had suspended, Greeley worked his way to his father's farm, earning as much as he could on the way by working for a few weeks at a time on different newspapers. Af ter a few months he made his. way to New York. He arrived there with but a few cents ln-lfis pocket, no other Clothes except those he wore, but eager and ambitious to become a great Jour nalist For 18 months he worked as compositor at poorly paid, odd Jobs, then, together with another young com positor he opened a printing of floe. Makes rirst Mark la Politics. -.After one or two unsuccessful efforts, to start a newspaper, Greeley, In 1834, undertook the publication of a weekly literary Journal, called The New Yorlcer. Two years later the paper had 7600 subscribers. The panics of the follow ing yfiar nearly caused the suspension of The New Yorker, and It was on its last legs when. In 1838 Thurlow Wed . made Greeley editor of the Jeffereonlan, a Whig paper established In Albany during the campaign that ended In the tlectlon of William H. Seward as gover nor of . New York; As editor of that paper Greeley became a prominent fig ure in state affairs and, although he was only about 17 years of age, he was : recognised as one of the strongest poli tical writers of the day. founded the Tribune, Two years later Greeley was chosen to edit the Log Cabin, the Whig cam paign paper of 1840. His success In creased Greeley's prestige and gave him the courage to establish a newspaper of his own. April 10, 1841, was the birthday of the New York Tribune, , which under his management and di rection became one of the greatest news papers in the country and a great poli tical power. The subsequent history of Greeley was lnseperably linked to that of the New York Tribune, at the ' head of which he remained for 30 years, se vering his connection with that Journal only a few days before his death, which occurred on November 21, 1872. Tremendous Influence of Oreeley. It would be difficult to overestimate the influence which was wielded by the pen of Horace Greeley. He had courage . and he had an honest conscience and these were backed by a mastery of in cisive, clear English. He was one of the foremost advocates of a protective tariff and that the north was brought ;'V"!ite ,ine source and makirii lands cotton '6 yuiupai - , r ... , .- 1 - - , 1 i 11: Mf -'AY Mr. and Mrs. Swain of Albany; who celebrated heir golden wedding an ' ' nlversary this week.

Foreclosure Suit Against Co lumbia Land Company Dismissed. Litigation which has occupied the at tention of courts for the past few months and which has stirred the town of Stanfleld, Is ended, an amicable set tlement having been reached between Robert N. Stanfleld and the Columbia Land company, which he was suing to foreclose a mortgage of 856,000 on the townslte of Stanfleld. With the Colum bia Land company were from 80 to 100 codefendants, who had purchased land upon which the mortgage was held. With the dismissal of the foreclosure suit, titles to the property held by these co defendants, who purchased by contract, as well as the title to the townslte, are cleared. The foreclosure suit was filed at Pendleton In November, 1910. Negotiations- have been under way for the past month to obtain a settlement. Under Its terms a division of the prop erty in litigation has been effected, Stanfleld taking seven-tenths, and the land company, of which Dr. H. W. Coe Is president and a large owner, the re maining three tenths. A corporation has been organized un der the title of the City Realty company, which will taka over the Stanfleld In terests.

Gray, compose the board of directors. Sweden and Norway together have more available power In their waterfalls than Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy combined. MEM EPS STANFIELD'S TITLES FORESTER ALLEGES 2 TIMBER ERRORS Brush Burning Not Best Safe guard; Good Lands Not Withdrawn. .Oregon agricultural lands are not ly ing idle in forest reserves, and. brush burning Is not the best method of pro tection against forest fires, said Acting Forester George H. Cecil yesterday, re plying to a statement published in a local- morning paper by a Mr. Welch, "The statement is made," said Mr. Ce cil, "that these lands were lying idle; it might In addition be proven that they were idle many years before the nation al forest was created, and that, too, after settlors had tried unsuccessfully to make some of them produce agricul tural crops." n ' Mr. Cecil first pointed out what he considers the error In Mr. Welch's argu ment for -brush burning, this la a sub pact of particular interest Just now aa a law for better protection of forests against fire is pending In the legisla ture. Mr. Cecil said: "Mr. Welch's araument losea much of its force becauseTipplled to a section of Oregon where fire protection has been of recent years a very easy matter. Mr. Welch aays his own timber land has been purposely burned over syste matically, killing, the underbrush, and that as a result the big Mt Hobo fire went out aa soon aa It came to his tim ber. It is well to state here the fact that last summer fires In this same lo cality went out whenever they reashed heavy timber owned by Individuals or managed by the forest service, and there was practically no loss of merchanta ble timber. It la not clear, therefore, that annual brush burning has anything to do with the casea mentioned. The further statement can be made that all the fires In this section, on national for est lands were on land which had been burned over originally about 60 years ago and much of it run over by flro several times since, in no other section of Oregon la prevention of loss by fire In heavy mature stands so easy, duo largely to heavy rainfall and usual damp conditions of woods where the timber la heavy. Woods Too Wet la June. "Mr. Welch advocates annual burn ing In May or June. My experience has been,"' continued Mr. Cecil, "in the .for ests of the west slopes of the Cascade range, that burning In May or June cannot be performed because the woodd are too wet; only under the dryest con- dltlona, with . heavy winds, could suoh burnings be thorough enough to kill off the brush in the more dense forests, and under such conditions the danger of an uncontrollable forest fire witn its heavy loss of timber Is too great to Justify the risk. "The inability of fire to run In heavy stand 8 of timber is shown by an inci dent last summer on Wind river, in Skamania county, Washington. A fire escaped from a donkey engine logging on the natronal forest in the month of July. It burned ovor a slashing but practically went out when it struck the heavy green timber. The same thing was true of a fire on the Snoqualmie forest last August. Here a. fire eucap lng from a slashing and under the ln- flnenca of t heavy east wind burned GRAY HAIRS BANISHED.

Repeated attempts have teen made by settlers desiring homes to bring much of this land into a atate of productive ness sufficient to make a living- for . a family on tha land. .In a large percent age of casea on tha higher lands, these attempts were unfortunately unsuccess ful, and the .homesteads abandoned, or where patented, remain idle.
