Sam Riley, chief of police of

day in appeal to people living
in the vicinity of The Oaka
park to fed the China pnea-
wants that have gathered in
the lowlands.
"We see them lying by the
nide of the track as we pa as i
by and they are seemingly ex-
hauMed." eald Mr. Van Ham.
"They will die In large numbers
unless they are fed. Without -M
doubt those who travel on the
Oregon City lines would find it P
possible to drop food from the
- cars as they pass the district
near The Oaks."

Robert K. Strahorn.
Oregon looks to the building of the
' Central Orpgun railroad as a powerful
::. aid to state development. .
Robert E. .Strahorn. who has under
taken to finance and build the new
railway systun in the centra; rart of
the state, say; that without redama
C" -tlon Of the lands by irrigation neither
'V. the Investment of millions of dollars
i.' nor construction of hundreds of miles
Of railroad would he Justified.
In recognition of Mr. Strahorn's ex-
'.' perience as a practical irrigation man
T-and railroad builder Mr. iStrahorn was
najiied yesterday a. one of the five
men who will represent the Portland
i'r Chamber of Commerce at the state
ligation, drainage and rural credits
conference next month. The others
appointed are C C. Colt. A. L. M;lls, J.
' N. Teal and KrankHn T. Griffith.
State Guarantee Advocated.
In an Interview yesterday Mr. Stra
- horn vividly showed the great import
4 . ance to all industrial and constructive
'enterprise that the state get back of
' and show faith In the reclamation of
" its semi-arid lands.
And the method that should be used,
he Is convinced, should be by state
, guaranty of irrigation and drainage
district bonds.
He considers the conference to be
held here during February of the ut
moet importance. At that time legis
lation will tie drafted and a campaign
" organised to secure .favorable action
by the people at the next general state
election.
"In Mating my opinion of the most
important matter ahead of the conven
,'"tlon of the Central Oregon Develop
v ment league at Bend in November to
Insure railway development." said Mr.
,, Strahorn. "I used these words: 'Imme
. - diate aggressive and continuous effort
of all of you and your communities to
i work out all this Irrigation, drainage.
' Subdivision and colonization of lands
.- without which the railroads cannot be
built, and would not pay if they were
built-'
- . "Central Oregon In Its present con
. .dltion woorld not Justify the large in
vestment for this railway development.
V I would not have the courage to at-
tempt anything of the sort but for
1 my confidence in the early working of
'. v: these matters.
BCnst Go Xasd-ia-Kaad.
"But we cannot let it rest at this. As
. i I have frequently stated, the solution
. of these irrigation and drainage prob
lems roust precede or go hand in hand
With the railway development.
- "Having had almost continuous op
' portunlty for observation and with the
'' matter on my mind much of the time
.' ever since, I am more than ever con-
Ovrr the surface of the Willamette
this morning was spread a skin of ice.
Many people had not realized the fact,
but last night waa one of the coldest
nights of the yeir. Prospects are for
continued cold, with fair weather and
variable winds.
The wind blew from the south this
morning, for the first time since the
big snow came last week. Whether
it will stiiy thee long enough to drive
away the cold ind bring back the rain
is a matter weather forecasters are
speculatius; ubout.
The lowest temperature for the 24
hour period was reached at 6 o'clock
this morning. when the nercury
touched 14 above. At 9. it had risen a
degree. At noon it registered 21, and
at 2 o'clock this afternoon 2'4.
Yesterday's thaw had encouraged
people to believe the whole winter
was over; but many were the disap
pointments today when broken watei
pipes were found.
Snow troubles have about ended, so
far as the streetcar company and the
railroads are concerned. Most peoplr
have shoveled the drifts off their
walks, though some yet remain in front
of unoccupied property.
Some difficulty with the fuel prob
lem has been feit, particularly among
the schools. Washington high was
dosed at noon yesterday for lack of
fuel oil. but deliveries were made lato
in the afternoon so that classes could
be resumed this morning.
Guard ropes placed about the base
of tall buildings yesterday prevented
ciany an accident from falling Icicles.
