' Salem, Or., July 2Z. Salem citizens
feel confident that Oregon's capital city
Can show a record for public Improve
ments for the past four years that can
not be excelled by any city of her
C.liidiH In thtf L'nltsd States. -Four-year
ago two blocks of hard surface pave
ment were laid on Court street between
fiigti and Commercial streets. When
'present contracts which are under wny
ire completed the city will have ::3
miles of pavement laid and at the close
of next season every foot of streets in
the original limits of the city will have
been paved.
For bitulithic the city has Bpent $475,-
000, for concrete $330,000, for eloso-j
$112,000, and for macadam Jt40,000.
After this season three bits of street
Only will be left unpaved in the orlgjnal
limits of the city and these nre sure to
be Covered In net season's Improve
ments. Vfna than half a dozen years ago
George F, Rodgers. ex-mayor of 8alem,
dared to approach a prominent busi
ness man of the city on the subject of
laying one block of hard surface pave
ment as a sample to others. This was
the reply he .got:

TO help a young girl to help her
self is as worthy a cause as any
organisation can espou&e. and in
doing this- the Oregon federation

that supreme satisfaction that comes
from the feeling of being of some real

s feel that they are being helped in other
waya than by money. The letters Mrs.
Eggert receives are often far more
beneficial to the board than, perhaps,
the money haa been to the beneficiary,

are permitted to make some extracts

to cancel her obligation. Through this
loan she was able to pursue her studies
In the east, and while she has had a
hard struggle, and it is not over by any
means, she Is making good and, as this
letter must prove, is on the highway
' to success. In speaking of her work
nd how she made her first $100, part
of which was ' used to make the last
payment on, her loan, she says:
"It1 seems as though you must know
how I worked On the child welfare ex-'
hlbit. - Professor Wollman wanted a
; booth illustrated with children; a baby
about 1 year of age, a child of 4 months,
two tithers 8, ono 11 and one IS. When
I had finished them, they asked me to
do some more. They wanted an lllus-
; tratlon of "Why Is the Baby Cross,' and
, 'Why Is the Baby Contented,' and. an
other Illustration of 'I think saving a
'little child is a dern sight better than
loalln' around the tnrone. Thit child
' was Just a happy one; an illustration
of a starving child was one, and the
: other was a mother and child. . I also
made six children that ' were placed on
a pillars about the big armory where the
exhibit was held. . ,
"Mr. Ellner, the press agent, said I
. should have received 1200 for it at the
- very least, but I got the nicest kind of
; letters from them and I was recom
mended for a position as teacher In art

"It will never do in Salem, young
man; the town cannot stand It; we
positively can't afford it. Tt Is no
new thing for some one to agitate the
question of paving; that bee has been
huzzlng befora. hut the aobar judgment
of tha property owner has always pre
vailed. You can talk until you are blue
in the face but you cannot convince me.
The streets as they are have been good
enough for 50 years and they will have
to do for the present."
Salem is now and will continue to be
a credit to the great state of Oregon aa
the seat of her government. E. W.
Qelger, a prominent contractor from
Leavenworth, Kan., said last week that
after an 8000 mile tour of the country
ne had not seen a city of the sire o
Salem doing as much public improve
ment work, and. he added, "Portland I a
the best city I have seen in my Jour
neys." To connect Salem's 23 miles of pave
ment with the state institutions of
most public interest, two great boule
vards are being planned. Already state
engineers have laid out the embanked
avenue to be built between tho penl
tenltentlary and the asylum, and dirt
my first child model. She was a little
dark child with a sensitive mouth and
played quite a part In the- child made
for 'Mother and Child.' Although she
did nol pose for it, her face stayed
with me. Her eyee were large, dark,
wondering ones, and she was so quick
to understand. And then I had to get
some children and I went on the street
for them. I saw a little ragged bunch
and told them what I wanted and said
they could all come up. They asked
their parents and all' came iup huddled
together like a bunch of Sheep, quite
noiseless, too, for them. When we
opened the door we found Miss
(another one of the loan fund girls
who rooms with the writer of the let
ter) was there, so the children sat on
the -trunk and chair, or rather edge of
both, until the landlady kindly let me
take them into the next room. We sat
on the floor and after sketching awhile
'ate candy and made promises for other
evenings, together. The children kept
them, too; so did I. We had bread and
butter and Jelly, cake and real lunches
and played games at times and also
frightened all the tenants there .by
going downstairs In such humbere.
Some times I would catch my boys
ringing every bell, and, of course, all
heads would be out when I went up
stairs. Really, I should say they did
ring every bell, because the youngsters
would haunt the house about an hour
before my home coming, and children
must be busy you know. They found a
poor baby for me .who posed and slept
at Intervals after a nice bath.
"And these children were more Im
portant to me than the exhibition.
"The pictures were about three and a
half feet, by two and a half. Mast of
the children were life else.
"I made some drawings for Miss O.
She told me the children I drew were
going to do something interesting. There
was a benchful of babies aa they sat at
their meal at the Home for Destitute
Children In Brooklyn, and a Dutch child
in repose, and an old station woman,
another figure of an old man and horse,
and a few children sketches of different
ages. These were done on One Hundred
and Second street, where I got the nicest
kind of little boys ne girls would com
up there;, their mothers were afraid
they were nearly all Jews. One little
Joey sang for me great deal. ' He haa
a 1 lovely voice.; He only knew two or
three songs, 'Under- tha Yum 'Turn Tree.'
and .Don't Take Me Home,' but It was
the greatest kind of pleasure to see this
keen little person, natural actor, ' and
hear his sweet voice with a quality that
is gained generally by much suffering;.

convicts; A spur hps been built from
Dif present State street line of the
Portland Railway, Light 4 Power com
pany'! track to the beginning of this
work for hauling dirt. When this has
been built and paved one long loop of
hard surface speedway from the cjty
to the penitentiary and the asylum and
back by way of Asylum avenue will
have been completed. Asylum avenue,
from Center street, will be paved in
the near future.
Preparations are being made to pave
a highway from the business section
to the state fair grounds. Steps are
being taken to open Seventeenth street
and if this is accomplished tt will
probably be paved with hard surface
pavement, making a complete straight
away to the fair grounds. If this plan
Is not carried out, other streets will be
paved, so at least by the fair of 1912
the entire route will be hard surfaced.
Macadam roads will soon be completed
to the other state institutions which
skirt the grand semi-circular valley
surrounding Salem to the eastward.
Bapid Strides In Building Lines.
In other lines Salem is making as
them all, and could tell you about them
all day.
"And then I had an order for 'Ten
Eyes of the Blind' for the blind workers'
exhibition. It was the palms of the
hands with fingers extended. The wrists
were lost In yellow-gray background.
The other Illustrations I had to give
up, aa I was too husy.
"Oh, I must tell you about Miss
and my children! Miss had a tiny
little girl, chosen from my number,
named Elisabeth Martin; I had one
named Elizabeth, too. Elisabeth was
the only child Miss would claim.
My Elisabeth was 10 years old, her's
9. Of course her Elizabeth knew she
was the only one. and both children
knew I claimed all the rest. Qne day
my child said to the other Elizabeth:
'I think one is enough.' She was a funny
little girl, and did wear the oddest
clothes. Her eyes were dark blue, and
her nose was really Irish, and a mouth
a little too bold snd coarse. Her hair
was stringy and of a gray-brown color,
and usually waa tied with a soft stringy
ribbon, but not from these did the child
get the soft color. She was ill one
night drank toon:uch bad whiskey and
ever, since that night we have been good
friends. Nearly always the youngsters
come up and eat as though they were
really hungry, take off their shoes and
stockings and get their feet nice and
dry.
"I trust I may prove all you would
want me to be, out know I will have to
work dseadfully hard to conquer all the
worst In me if I do. With much love."

O HIO Federation of Women's clubs
is urging sll local clubs to organ
ise school leagues for women 1 in
cities for the study of school condi
tions, so that a higher standard of ef
ficiency may be maintained. Women
are also asked to petition the legisla
ture for better rural schools. The cre
ation of a scholarship loan fund Is to
be undertaken. - This money will be
loaned to poor girls-, that they may se
cure a better education. The club wo
men will raise $6000 for this fund.
There are 12,445 federated club women
In the state, and each club will be re
sponsible for an annual sum equal to
five cents per member.

THERE was. an Interesting discus
sion at the International Woman
Suffrage congress as to whether
municipal woman suffrage was a helper
or a hindrance In getting the full bal
lot Mies Chai-atal Macmlllan of Scot
land said that municipal suffrage bad
accustomed' men to seeing women vote,
had compelled. even the antl-suffraglsts
to Indorse the principle of woman suf
frage, and had made It easier for wo
men to get what they wanted from the
town councils. In Scotland women had
had the municipal vote since 1S81. Miss
Asmundsson of Iceland said municipal
suffrage had raised the salaries of wo
men. In "municipal employment, and had

rapid strides toward the goal of a first
class city. In the year Just past her
postal receipts have increased 28 per
cent a greater gain than has been
made by any city in the Pacific north
west. Salem has a first elasS office.
The taxable property In the city this
year showed an increase of approxi
mately $2,000,000 over the preceding
year.
Building operations in Salem for the
year 1911 promise to exceed those of
any previous year. With the block
Just east of the present capitol building-
in the possession of the state and
but $50,000 of the appropriation of
$150,000 exhausted, the state will be
gin construction work on the new
building as soon as plans are com
pleted. By the iiBe of convict labor and
penitentiary brick the $100,000 avail
able will go a long way toward start
ing Oregon's grand state house of the
future. The first part will be con
structed principally for housing the su
preme court, but will be so planned that
additions may be built on from time to
time until the new Mate house Is com
pleted. Forty thousand dollars will be put
among women. Lady Dockrell, a frater-
nal delegate from Ireland, who had
been a councillor In Dublin, said that
municipal suffrage had converted all
the women who had served on local
government boards to a belief in full
suffrage, as it had shown them their
inability, without the parliamentary
vote, to accomplish some of the impor
tant things that needed to be done,
g K
CONGRESS has under consideration
a bill for the suppression of the
activities of loan sharks among
government employes. The "Woman's
Civle Federation" of Washington, u. C.
is pushing th$ bill. While government
clerks have permanent employment, yet
salaries have not advanced to meet the
Increased cost of living. It is not un
usual for loan sharks to charge 4 per
cent a month. Fear of dismissal has
prevented government clerks from com
plaining to heads of departments. If
the employes must borrow money It is
proposed that they shall have It at rea
sonable rates.

A DECREASE In the arts and crafts
movement and an Increase in the
study of art Is reported by the
art committee of the Massachusetts
Federation of Women s clubs. This, In
the estimation of the committee, Is a
cause for congratulation because It con
siders the arts and crafts movement
more of a passing fad than a healthy
growth.
Organization of Colored Me:i.
A three days' convention is to be held
in Boston next month under the aus
pices of the National Independence Poll-
viuai league, wmcn is an organization
of colored men who believe they should
use their votes for the general better
ment of their race rather than to pro
cure political offices and that the Am
erican negro should not give his sup
port to any particular political party.

Great Japanese Sea Fighter to
Be Entertained in Many
American Cities During His
Short Stay.
(United Ftim Leased Wlra.)
Washington, July 22. Admiral Togo
of Japan, who will be the guest of the
United Staes for 17 days next month.
Is regarded as one of the greatest liv
ing sea fighters in the world today.
He bears the distinction of having
won a brilliant, unqualified victory in
the greatest naval engagement of mod
ern times. He is the only commander-in-chief
in any navy who has success
fully directed a Titanic conflict between
two great fleets of warships of the
twentieth century. The series of vic
tories Of Admiral Togo, In the war be
tween Russia and Japan, -In 1904-5,
culminating in the battle of the Japan
ea, were the Justification of the pres
ent type of sea fighting craft which
has revolutionised naval warfare.
Chief of JTaval Staff.
Since the war with Russia, Admiral
Togo haw held the position of chief of
the naval staff of Japan, a position
corresponding to that conferred upon
George Dewey, who Is the admiral of
the United States navy and president
of the general board. Togo Is the pop
ular Idol of his nation.
He comes to the United States from
EnRland, where he represented the
mikado at tho -coronation of King
George V last month. When the Japa
nese foreign office broached the plan
for the Nipponese naval hero to visit
the United States on his way home from
England, the suggestion was most cor
dially received by President Taft and
Secretary Knox. Through the depart
ment of state, all arrangements for his
visit are being made, and the plans thus
far decided upon assure the distin
guished ndmiral of one of the most
cordial and elaborate receptions ever
accorded a foreigner by the American
nation.
Program for Visit.
The tentative program for his visit
includes entertainments at New York,
Boston. Philadelphia and Washington.
The official functions will culminate at
Washington, where elaborate prepara
tions are being made. Dinners and
lunches at the White House, the home
of the secretary of state, and the Japa
nese embassy are already decided upon,
and other entertainments of a seml
publlc nature are being arranged. Ad
miral Togo will also go to Niagara
Falls, thence into Canada, and to Van
couver, where he will take the steamer
for home.
American naval officers and diplo
mats who are acquainted with Admiral
Togo declare that modesty and reserve
are his mot striking characteristics.
He is described as a man of few words,
almost never mentioning his own deeds.
He is small in stature, even for a Jap
anese, though stocklly built. He wears
a beard, which, though trimmed close,
almost wholly conceals hiB features.
He is said to be exceedingly simple in
his tastes, and a man delighting in his
family, which consists of two sons and
a daughter. Hunting Is said to be one
of his favorite pastimes when on shore.
Togo is a member of the nobility, with
the rank of count, and bears the dec
orations of the Japanese orders of the
Golden Kite, first class, and the Grand
Cordon of the Chrysanthemum. He was
decorated with the order of merit by
King Edward.
Southern Grants an Increase.
About 8000 mechanics on the Southern
railway have been granted a wage In
crease that will likely be extended to
the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic
Coast Line, the N. A W. and the C. AO.,
affecting 9000 men.
