No. 9, for mamma. My mamma has
not got any stockings atol, she haa to
whalr papa's stocking, and they are all
rags too and papa needs them to."
This la one of the many pathetic little
appeals that old Santa Claus Is recelv
ing through the mail, picked yesterday
afternoon from among a stack of 200
letters piled on Postmaster Frank 8.
Myers' desk. It is one of dozens that
no charitable or philanthropic institu
tion has yet seen.
Ordinary letters addressed to such an
indefinite personage as 8. Claus, Ltd., if
placed in a mail box, would end up in
the dead letter office at Washington.
But not so with these, for every post
master in the land has orders to pre
serve Santa Claus letters and turn
them over to any philanthropic organi
zation that cares to look into tho condi
tion of those who write them.
No matter ow pinched in Dovertv the
family of the child is who writes, every
one of the missives, couched for the most
part in childish scrawl, are chuck full
of hope that the patron saint of all
the children of Christendom at this time
of the year will not pass them ud on
Christmas eve.
Bask Him on (JounoU Crest.
Apparently all the writers firmlv
have made up their mtnds that Santa
is located this season in or near Port
land. "To Santa Claus, care of Council
Crest," is the most definite headquar
ters given on any of the letters, while
another Imaginative boy of six who
writes from Portland's east side, directs
his missive to "Santa Claus, top of Mt.
Hood."
"Stockings and shoes, please, Santa,"
and "I want worst of all a pair of lea
ther shoes," contained in two of the
epistles from Portland tots, indicate a
longing that, can be traced throughout
the whole list of letters. At least a
dozen of them beg for these very much
needed articles of clothing.
The letters have been pretty gener
ally gone over by persons Interested in
seeing that the Christmas cheer reaches
all. Many came In yesterday, however.
and tnes W'U hve to be handled speed
ily if the hopeful young senders are to
be reached before the 26th.
An interesting little chap of one of
Portland's best known families, writes
to Santa Claus at "Arctic Circle, Arc
tic Ooean." He would be entirely sat
isfied, he says, if Santa puts in his
slocking a Ford automobile.
Boy Wants Marble
Careful directions as to just how to
reach nia home are given by a young'
ster of the Mt. Scott district. "I live
at papa's candy store between Arleta
and Kern Park, and you bet 1 don't get
candy unless daddy gives it to me or
unless I buy it, and he nmvex gives It to
me often," reads this interesting mis
sive. -
"Harrison" of the 1600 block, Knowles
avenue. Is modest. "I still have the air
gun you gave me last year and all I
want ia some marbles," he writes. The
letter was evidently painstakingly Dro-
duced on a typewriter. .
Altha Hanson, from far off Arrow In
Lake county, mllea from any railroad,
j oAma with An annual Vvlu nn
came wun an appeal, with "rara.
mamma and little sister," she lives on
a homestead "and papa had a bad sick
spell not long ago and I guess you
won't be able to come here." All Altha
wants is a gingham or calico dress or
perhaps a doll. She is t years old.
"My kitty is sitting her with ma now,
and she sleeps with me at night but
don't be afraid of her when you come,"
laboriously wrote 7-year-old Virginia
from her home near Fall Bridge.
Five-year-old Irvin Hoskins, whose
mother evidently wrote the missive for
him, confides to Santa that T have long
white curls, Just the color of yours."
Irvin lives way up in the Blue moun
tains, he says, 20 miles from town, In
Wheeler county.
Evidently Evelyn and Vernon Peter
son of 6515 Foster Road) look to Santa
this year for their Christmas Joy as the
little girl writes that "Papa has been
out of work so long that he can not
afford to get them anything."
little Girl Has Faith.
Explicit faith in Kris Krlngle is main.
talned by 8-year-old Marlon Shaw of
near Goldendale, Wash,
"Some boys and girls think there Isn't
any Santa Klaus, but I think there Is
because you have always remembered
mo. Besides I aaw you in Portland,
he writes.
Kathryn Hennagn, from the appear
ances of her letter, a very small tot of
Morp, Or., tacked onto the end of her
letter a carefully drawn diagram of all
the kisses and hugs she had for Santa
Klaus should she ever sea him.
A very young lad living In the coun
try near Sheridan, In hla letter Bays
the road from town is a long muddy
one, but Santa is beseeched to get there
if he possibly can.
Ronnie Brown, a five year old of
430 Burnslde Rtreet, has modern Ideas.
All he wants, ho pays, Is a flying ma
chine and a pair or gloves.
An enterprising seven year old boy
of Yamhill addressed his v letter to
"Santa Claus, Xmas Toy Town, Ore

paints. Will pay you later." , t,
Samuel Magruder of Hillsboro, writ
ing, asks for a "Webster's Academic
Dictionary." He started out several
times on the big words, hla letter indi
cates, and finally accomplished their
spelling successfully.
Vostmaatsr'a Wife Aiding-.
Evidently tho parents of Robert Joy
of Eagle Point have been "kidding" Rob
ert for In a missive Indicating that it
was written with considerable shedding
of tears, he says that father has told
hhn that Santa could not come thero
because of the hills and roads, and begs
that Santa send his presents by train.
' Margaret May, nine year old of Gil
mer, Wtash., is another who believes the
Christmas saint might be held up by
poor roads. She writes: "We have just
moved on a homestead, there Is no. good
I roads, and mamma thinks you can't get
I here this Xmas."
Robert Kerslake of Troutdale, writes
inviting Santa Claus to tho Christmas
entertainment of his school. "You must
put on your big ooat and bundle up

The absence of song birds In Oregon
causes much regret among bird lovers
who como from sections of this country
and abroad where the aweet voioid
birds fill the air .with music. Many a
present-day Oregonian Is said to be
homesick for the song of the skylark
and tne canary and cuckoo.
State Game Warden Finley la greatly
Interested in transhipping Rome of these
song birds from other climes to this
tate, but ia unablo to do so because the
state game protection fund carries no
provision for this purpose. There la
- nothing, however, to prevent Individual
bird lovers who desire to assist th
state in this work or who wish to place
song birds m their communities from
purchasing the same.
Max Muller, for many years with the
state poultry department and who re
cently waa sent on a mission to Europe
to purchase 800 pairs of Hungarian par
tridges, ia to be sent on another trln
ror boo pairs next month,
Mr. Muller will sail for Germany ear-
! ly in January and has been empowered
- ! by Game Warden Finlev to assist bird
lovers and others desiring to aid in
the placing of song birds in thla state
by acting as a purchasing agent while
abroal. Muller will go to the Tyrol and
the Black Forest where song birds
abound, and will bring home as many
skylarks, canaries and -woodlarks and
other sweet voiced denizens of the
woods as he is commissioned to- pur-
cnose,
The birds will be brought back under
his personal care and will be brought
at absolute cost, plus transportation
charges. Warden Finley hopes that the
bird lovers of the state will assist in
bringing song birds to Oregon, as the
state has made no appropriation for
tnat Purpose. Muller will be gone two
""".
