Great Journalist's Career Be
' ?.an or Farm Near Amherst,
N. 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

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

maining three tenths.

Ward and A. W. 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.

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

i "Mr. Welch also contends that settle

experience in the past in this district
has shown pretty clearly that the land,
is not chiefly valuable for agriculture.
