MAYFLOWER'S TIMBERS MAY
BE IN BARN IN ENGLAND
Boston, Sept. 11. Whether or not tha
timbers of tha Mayflower are a part
f the roof of a large Quaker barn in
Buckinghamshire. England, as an Eng
lish scholar asserts, the barn is a fine
example of seventeenth century timber
'WOrk, and the preservation of Its beams
IS In line with tha existence of seven
teenth century frame homes and
churches in New England. In Klng-
. hem, Masa, is an old frame church
pum m iubs, . caned "The Old Ship,"
and still used as a place of worship.
Although parts have, of course, been
restored, the building Is still the
square ateepled structure that stood In
;the days of the Pilgrim Fathers, and
much of the original . timber work re
mains. . This summer of tha Mayflower voy
age's tercentennial, tha question of
what became of the historic vassal has

that thoee in the barn at Old Jordana

the timbers has an Iron attachment
which was doubtless part of a ship's
keel. There is also a bit of carved in

Erection Of tha Pacific Coast Steel
company's roiling mill at Wlllbrldge was
beun about two years ago and work
was discontinued In October, 1J19, fol
lowing the cancellation of government
orders for steel ships. Plans called for
two open-hearth furnaces and one of
these has been completed. Work already

COUNTY BOARDS
LAST OF THE RED
WHALERS LIVE ON
Ti
Makah Indians, Like Forefathers,
Hunt the Whale With Hand
Weapons and Depend on Skill.
By Lawrence William Pedroae
On the Pacific coast may be- found
a fast-dwllndllng tribe of Indiana
who hunt the leviathan of the deep,
the whale. These Indians, the May
kahs, live at Keah bay, On tha coast
of the state of Washington, and they
hunt tha whale aa did tfia tribes
men of their native traditions In
canoes, their only weapons the hand
lanca and spear.
Far up In the Arotle another prehis
toric people, tha Eskimo, also red of skin,
hunt the whale l but the Eskimo is be
lieved to be a Mongol, and he has sacri
floed sportsmanship for commercial
greed, end baa adopted the whaling can
non and explosive harpoon of the whits
hunter. The Makah, in contrast, hunts
cetacean as did his forefathers, with
hand weapons, matching his skill against
the strength of the sea mammal, and
when he makes a rich catch, oommun-
ixes bis wealth by sharing it equally
with an the members of his tribe
Rheumy-eyed old. man and decrepit
squaw, or vigorous young buck and sloe
eyed maid, each gets a share of the
prize won from the sea.
APPEARS 05CE A TEAS
Hundreds of years ago. according to
Makah tradition, the first whale ap
peared off the coast Every year there
after, as regular as the seasons, tha
cetaceans appeared In December, trav
el Ins southward to their breeding
grounds, and in May heading northward
with their young toward tha Ice-filled
reaches of the Arctic. The huge whales i
60 to so feet in length ana weignmg
from. 40 to 60 tons iose in close to the
shore among the ropy kelp and often
wallow In the rolling surf. The invasion
of the kelp beds is to obtain food : the
play in the surf evidently Is an at tempt
to brush off the lice, barnacles and other
parasites picked up during the long mi
grations. The coming of the whales is hailed
with great Jubilation by the Makaha
It is a season of potlatch great feasts
and from the results of the chase the
Indians are promised oil and food
enough to last them many moons. There
is so Influx of tha Makaha to tha beaches
and the squaws and their children pre
pare their kettles and their racks for
curing meat while the warriors sharpen
their spears and repair their hunting
gear.
USES CANOE HUSTIJCO WHALE
The Makah, when he hunts the whale,
uses a canoe hewn from a cedar Iok.
This dugout Is from 30 Td 60 feet in
length and carries from four to 10 men.
The spear used Is a barbed metal point,
attached to a 15-foot pole of seasoned
spruce. Canoes seeTc whale n company,
and as many as a score of the frail craft
start out upon the hunt, each dugout
equipped with several Spears, to each of
which Is attached several fathoms of
stout rope and one or more buoys made
of the Inflated skin of a seal.
When a whale Is discovered, the hunt
ers scatter about the spot where the
mammal has last blown. When It re
appears a canoe stealthily approaches It,
for the whale, although poor of sight,
has keen eara When the canoe is near
enough to the game, aepear is hurled into
him. He sounds, or dives, and the hunt
ers wait for reapparance of the buoy at
tached to tbe spear. When he comes up
again for atr, the nearest hunter sinks a
second spear into him. The spears are
too small to Inflict mortal wounds, and
usually only make the victim furious.
As a result he does not take much air
and Is too excited to think of swimming
from the scene. Spear after spear Is
driven Into the panicky animal, and tha
battle occupies hours sometimes a
whole -day. But eventually thejrame
grows weak from loss of blood and is
dispatched with a lance driven Into his
heart or lungtt. whereup he goes to the
bottom In a final plunge. Decomposi
tion of the whale's Intestines begins Im
mediately it Is dead, and gases forming
expand the carcass and bring it to the
surface In from 24 to 48 hours.
BED HCKTEBS SETEB QUIT
Osce set upon game, the red hunters
never leave it, although heavy storms
may arise and the end of the chase
may find tha canoes far out on the
ocean out of sight of land. When a
whale la caught In the. surf or among
the kelp beds its capture Is simplified
but more often he Is attacked In deep
water, and before the battle ends, may
have traveled a distance of 60 or 60
miles. From father to eon has coma
down the, story of one mighty hunter
who pursued a whale Into the very' Hp
of the Arctic before be finally dispatched
It.
When the giant of the sea Is at last
captured, the Indians tow it ashore. At
high tine It Is drawn up onto the beach
and the receding tide leaves it high and
dry upon the sand. Then every able
bodied member of the tribe, including
the women and the children, attack the
carcass with knives and axes. To tha
Indian who first sighted the whale and
to tha one who hurled the first spear to
reach Its goal so the choicest cuts.
WHALE HEWI4 I5TO SLABS
First the blubber la removed from the
carcass Then the "meat Is hawn out in
crest alaba and oiled uiion tha beach.
When nothing remains of the whale but
the skeleton, the tribal chief apportions
tha flesh end fat among his people,
whereupon It Is carried away to 'the
homes of tribesmen,, sufficient of the
meat being saved for a potlatch. or bar
becue, in which natives give themselves
over to ZZ&TZnZZA
Ing and ceremonials in celebration of
uisir s;ooa ionuns.
Contrary to popular belief, whale meat
la edible. The meat resembles beef but
ia mora nutritious and It tastes like veni
son, in Japan whale meat Is an Import
ant Item on the menu, being canned end
shipped te all parte of the empire. Ef
forts to Introduce It into America, how
aver, have not been successful. ;.
Home Owning Stops
The Divorce Habit
e .
Chicago, sept U. The contention that
home-owning makes for good ciUsen
shlp and higher living ideals is corrob
orated by a recent study of divorce
eases In Chicago, where out of SS77 suits
for divorce filed In ..a recent yeer only
74 couples owned their homes. Ia 2171
cases there were. no children. Hecorda
show that In Chieagd in 11 there were
27.581 marriages and between 5000 and
(000 dlvoaces. an Increase la divorces of
to per cent since 1111. The growth of
the apartment hebtt and extravagance
are given as two prominent causes for
this increase.

OTvnw
LI
Portland Realty Board Flans to
Organize Real Estate Owners
in City and- County.
Protection of real estate from ex
cessive taxation is the purpose of an
organization of property owners out
lined by officers and members of
the Portland Bealty board Ways
ana means or affecting- such an or
ganlxation were dlsousaed at a meet
ing- of tha executive' committee of
the board at. the of flee of the secre
tary Thursday night.
Several prominent. realty dealers, be
side members of the executive commit
tee, were present; .'end aa. a result of
the conference tha following committee
was appointed te handle tbe organisa
tion work: Fred Strong (chairman),
Fred W. German, Coe A. McKenna,
Frank L. MoQuire, F. E. Taylor, Jo
Reaiy, Paul Murphy, A. R. Rltter,
Herman von Borstal, J. 0. Elrod, Rob
ert E. Smith.' president of the Title
Trust company, and Herbert Gordon.
it Is proposed to organise property
'owners of the city as an auxiliary of
the realty board and to secure their
cooperation In the ' study of problema
of taxation. Similar organisations In
New York, Chicago and ether Eastern
cities are doing effective work In cur
tailing the extravagant use of -public
funds and guiding clvlo financial op
erations.
According to statistic compiled by
Henry E. Reed, aaaaasor of Multnomah
county, stale appropriations ' for tha
year 111-10 were $M7l.t6S.15, compared
with SS.SS1J15.90 for the previous year
an increase of $1,011,661.15. or 31.S per
cent. This year Multnomah tunty will
pay SS.07S per cent of the state taxes
and tha city of Portland will raise 15.17
per cent of all taxes levied in Multno-
maa county. x.
The total assessed valuation Of prop
erty in Portland for Hll-10 was ehown
to be $$12,617,785, of which ordinary
land values represent S170.SU.S90. im
provements $54,044,016, and public serv
Ice companies $18,131,116. The tax lavy
for 1920 Is S180 mills, total taxes as
eased being S11.S06.321.69.
According to off totals of the realty
board snd prominent property owners,
it is not the purpose of the new or
ganlxation to oppose needed public im
provements, but through 'careful study
of methods of taxation and tne ex
pendtture of public funds to work out
a system of economy which will make
excessive taxation of real property un
necessary. A bureau of Investigation
and statistics and a bureau of publicity
are planned to further tbe purposes of
the new organization.
