The president's letter to the mother follows "My dear; Mrs. Zaccahea: I noticed in the photogravure sec tion of one of the Sunday papers a picture of. yourself, your hus band and your very remarkable family ot 16 children. I cannot resist expressing my very cordial congratulations. Perhaps I am moved to do so because a little incident in my own life. My mother bore eight children and raised six of them to maturity. One afternoon, shortly before her death, we were all at my home and she? spoke of having borne eight children, and said, with .an affection most appealing to me, that she had I been happy to bear eight children and If she had her life to live aver she would have no desire to change It except to bear eight more. I thought it was a beautiful thing or her to aay, and the recollection of it in spired me to write my very cor dial congratulations to you and add thereto my very best wishes. "Very truly yours, "Warren Harding." To this Mrs. Zaccahea replied: "My dear President: With ;my most grateful pleasure, I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your excellency's letter congratu lating me for my remarkable fam ily. "I wish to be excused for the delay in acknowledging receipt. "I wa3 very delighted at .the news that you come from a large family and your mother was proud of having given birth to eight children and raised six to matur ity. "I gave birth to ID children, 16 of whom are alive as their pho tograph is herein inclosed and I send it to you, as my most precious possession. , "My husband and I are never discouraged at tho great task be fore us, as the older ones help to support the younger, but one thing I regret that my husband's earning capacity is only $20 per week, employed by John Wana maker of this city. "May I ask of your excellency's recommendation for a better po sition to my husband where his earning capacity 'will be larger than his present one, so that will give us an opportunity to bring the younger children to maturity with a better education. "With deep appreciation of your kind interest, I am, "Most respectfully your, "Mrs. Domenico Zaccahea.

Are Claiming Numerous Settlers "They're making a new home a minute, almost, out there on the logged-off lands' beyond Silver ton." is the report brought in by Kujtene Grabcnhorst, who visited that section Monday. "The people have coma in from almost everywhere. Eome were the original homesteaders, some bought their lands after the tim ber was cut off but they're all setting to work with a royal good will that is making it look like genuine prosperity. But he says that where the timber has been cut, and the settlers haven't yet got the land subdued, the wild ferns are doing the greatest stunts in growing that Oregon ever saw. Ferns eight feet hish are mere skinny sprouts beside come of the big 'una that grow in that fertile soil. One needs a. compass and a guide and a reel of rope to find his way into or out of those fern forests. There's nothing but goats that will cat the fern. "They're getting some fine roads through there, (too," says Mr. Graben horst. "The road is macadamized to Unit. 12 mile" from Silverton, and excellent driv ing. There's every reason for a mild land boom out there, because the prices are still low enough, for a boom to grow, and the f oil will stand anything."

The order Is signed by T. C. Shaw, county judge, and G.
