Interesting Features in Current "Oregon Magazine" In the November issue of "Ore gon Magazine" Murrav Wnde hs presented a number that wtlt be of special interest to Orcgonians interested in the history of the fctate. The leading article of the mag azine is entitled. "The Golden Days of Steamboat Transporta tion." The story tells in detail the many adventures of the early steamboat men and includes p!c tures of AFa A. McCuily, David McCully and S. T. Church. Referring to David McCully. the article says: "Mrs. A. N. Gilbert, still living In Salem. Is the daughter of David McCully." Of special Interest to those who knew John H. Gradlehaugh dur ing his newspaper days in Salem, is his poem, entitled. "The Old Tramp Printer." Mr. Cradle baugh was perhaps the last liter ary man on the coast who was fn Nevada during the daysjjf Mark Twain. A picture of Mrs. Oscar Ging rich shows her in one of her typi cal Indian poses. In recent years Mrs. Gingrich has attracted most favorable attention in her inter pretation of Indian music. From a mechanical point of view the magazine has a most at tractive appearance. Incidentally it may be said that through his magazine. Mr. Wade has become one of Oregon's most persittent boosters, each issue singing the glories of the state. Employment of Minors in State Investigated The state industrial accident commission, is now carrying on a series of investigations into the injuries of persona under 18 years old who have ben Injured while employed by industries of the state, permission for such em ployment not having been obtain ed from the bureau of child la bor. In some instances it Is said, the. employers are not aware that the law is being violated. "Several case3 of injuries to minora who are employed with out a permit from the bureau of child labor have teen reported to the industrial accident com mission." said Commissioner Will T. Kirk. "The commission is making a special investigation of all these cases, and we find in some instances that the employer i.s not aware of the fact that the ace limit under which a permit is required has been raised from 16 to 18 years." JUDGE REFUSES TO DISCHARGE JURORS (Continued from page 1.) to the little court room expecting momentarily the rap on the jury room door that would announce the return of the jurors to the court. Arb'uckle's mood changed throughout the day but it could be seen plainly that the strain was telling on him. Ha spent, most' of his time chatting with counsel aud other friends. Late in the day Stephan E. Hop kins the 13th, or alternate juror, who was excused when the jury retired to edliberate yesterday, appeared in the court room and was greeted with hand clapping after a bailiff jokingly announced his presence in a loud voice. Hop kins and Arbuckle shook hands and chatted a few minutes to gether. McXab Impatient Defense counsel remained in the court throughout the day and McNab expressed his impatience on more than one occasion. He aid he had been reliably informed that the Jury stood 1 1 for acquital to one for conviction, and that the one juror who. was "holding out" was a woman. He expressed the opinion that the jury would -not return its findings until Monday. The report that the jury stood 1 1 to 1 for acquital persisted throughout the day, although there waaanother report that the balloting had switched to nine to three for acquital. The jurv caused somewhat of a flurry at th noon recess when it an nounced that it was ready for lunch and then paused to take an - other ballot. This ballot was as ineffective as the 16 which were said In corridor gossip to have preceded it.

The deliberations were resumed at the exact hour the marshal reached the city and the crowds lined up to greet him drew away from the throngs that ordi narily would have filled the court room and surrounding corridors. Later, however, the courtroom filled and many waited outride. The fact that the jury had not asked that evidence he broughi into them, indicated that the ar gument in the jury room was tending mostly toward the siding of all the jurors to one side or the other rather than toward a discussion of the evidence in the case, according to court officers.
