They Said It With Flowery Language v , mHE Statesman has been the1 recipient of many letter of X congratulation on its 80th Anniversary? edition, . and many of the papers of the northwest hare made note of it with very complimentary comment, all of which is greatly appreciated. And we are just vain enough to want to re- print some of the nice things our neig-noors saia doui ine -Statesman.' i r .-!" ' ' - Our elder and now much bigger brother the Portland Oregonian, in an editorial "Eighty Years of Printers' Ink", noted the fact that the two of us "are the only two well known business onranliations that have attained to the dignity of eighty' years. It recounting the. history of The: Statesman, concluding ' "There la a valuable record of those passing years In Th ; Statesman's- anniversary nmmber. It Ja a number that should be - contained In every private and Mrjr pa Mtc historical library . . .'the Statesman baa been an Important factor iu-the rearing " of burly and powerful Oregon for these eighty years.-And we wish it the happy destiny of continuing its duties., One comment which pleased us greatly was the gra cious editorial of our evening competitor in the Salem news oaner field, the Capital Journal. Though rivals in all de partments of newspaper activity, the two papers do succeed in 'getting along without the discord which has prevailed in many cities. Said the Capital Journal, writing on the sub ject "Eighty Yeaj Young": ! The Oregon Statesman is to be congratulated not only on being 80 years young, but in celebrating the event with an en- . nirersary edition well worth - while in every way the best of its many special efforts along this line. Eeplete with illustra tions anecdotes and reminiscences of pioneer days, itpresents a brief compendium of Salem's history as well as Its own. that should be-in every local library. ' "The story of the Statesman is Interwoven with that of Salem and the valley. For SO years it has daily chronicled' the life of ' the community and reflected its growth. 4ts set-backs and its ; progress. The fact' that it is one of few journals that have : withstood the vicissitudes of time, .has survived and retained Its vitality, speaks well for its enterprise and stamina for some v of the time bare existence has been a prolonged financial strug gle, r - ' - ' .- i - "It is to be hoped that the Statesman enjoys; as many years of prosperity in the future as it has enjoyed in the past and continues to 'grow and Improve with the community. The Oregon City ( Enterprise felt more than usual in terest in the edition because The Statesman was founded in that city. The Enterprise itself is a very venerable institu tion, having been founded in nomes of lhe statesman we did not find anyone in Oregon City who remembered the Frier's building north of the M. E. church on Main street. The name was new to both Mrs. Eva Emery Dye and Fred S. Perrine, of the chamber of commerce, though there may be some who recall it whom we did not learn of. The Enterprise makes,, note of. the ref erences to its city in our anniversary number, remarking Tt is a valuable issue, replete with historia data." Corvallis was also once the home of The Statesman in 1855, a long time ago, and only' for a portion of a year. The Gazette-Times, which as the "Corvallis Gazette", was founded in war time, in 1862, being just) junior to The Statesman among Oregon papers in point of age, is like wise interested in the history which the 80th anniversary number brought to light, and Editor Ingalls is most flatter ing when he says: v 1 "We have read & good many anniversary editions of various ' newspapers but donot recall ever having seen one that was so tnieresung m- m people living outside, tne -county r outside of the state as this present edition of the Statesman Is." 4 The Baker Democrat-Herald, calls .The Statesman "a pioneer landmark . . It is bright and interesting, yet re tains the atmosphere of conservatism and stability to be expected in such a newspaper." The Yakima Republic over in Washington is one of the very few papers in that state whose editorials are worth the pulpwood they are printed on, and when we read the following from Editof Robinson, we knew we would have to buy a new hat: i- r The Oregon. Statesman published at Salem, celebrates its -80th. birthday. In commenting on the anniversary the editor says that some-great men have made the policies of the paper We know very little of ancient history but have a smattering 4 of later knowledge. This, we think, qualifies ns t6 observe that In the latter half of its life the Statesman has not had a more , competent man on the Job than the one Vho now is there We know of no editorial contemporary in the northwest who has a y widar range of Interests, e better knowledge of what has been going on at home and in nearby sUtes. er a more trenchant way of setting forth his conclusions. Here's hoping he and his paper may survive for a long time to come." s . . The Grants Pasa Courier, while confessing its compar ative yoothfulness of 46 years, claims the distinction of being longest under its present management, S3 years. . . v. . Oregon has many live and interesting; weeklies, and several of those coming to our exchange desk have added fresh flowers to our bouquet The Monmouth Herald found the special edition "distinctly above the average because of the form adopted.

Everyone at times thinks that 'we mod erns were the first to advo cate the use of fresh air as a means of mak tnging : - people healthy. In an cient Egypt the rbildren were placed in t the mi without clothing, in an cient Greece the Spartans lived n n t of doors in order vur.ee uuu to . tongnen their bodies f er the vigorous lives they were to lead. Several centur ies B. C the Romans were ' the first to advocate a different en vironment ' for - the ; sick. Airy rooms were provided so that the patients would be more comfort-abet.- ,y- -i Fresli air is neeesfary at all ages and especially for . infants. The first few weeks after birth the baby should be. kept In a warm but well ventilated room. Ventilation can easily be accomp lished without draughts by using a window board. Children should be taught early to sleep in a cool room, with the windows open. After baby ft a month or so of age he should be taken oat of doors every day when the wea ther permits. A little rain" will do the healthy : baby no harm if be Is kept warm and dry. .r As the. child" gets older fee should be encouraged to play out of doors a certain number of hoars each day and if " this is practiced the child Is much less to contract infections. Some moth ers feel that they do not hare time to take their children,out of doors but often a little time taken for this purpose will "be well re-1 paid in the health of the child. ' Iln the late spring; or early summer all children should be gin to take sun baths. This should be done gradually so that the child will not become burned. A few minutes at first: with only the legs and arms exposed, then later when the arms and legs be come somewhat -brown - the ' re mainder of the body may gradu ally be exposed. c . , Sun suits are very serviceable for children that play about the yard. Care should be taken with light complected children as they are -very apt to burn and not tan. An overexposure of sun is very apt to make the child lit" for short time. - ' - i For the older people golf, has become very popular and the pop ularity if enjoys Is probably ac counted for by the tact that f It gets the player out in the sun and fresh air.

The other evening X went to the armory while 's rehearsal of that organisation was taking place, and I marvelled at the patience of the director. Prof. Graham, and the obvious enjoyment and pride of the youngsters who compose the greater part of some C5 Play ers. There were several older per sons, enough to give the young sters confidence. j - My Interest at first wag pure ly personal, but as I watched and listened X felt more and more that sense of Joy and pride which comes' to one Who loves the community In which he lives because a city Is more than concrete and steel. I saw children -the future., men end women of our city- developing talents and an artistry which, would glorify our civic life. . ' There was no jingly. baby numbers, but the vibrating, .pul sating thrill of a symphonic or chestra. Free from sophistication and yet with the consciousness that they were doing something worthwhile was the , atmosphere created. . , As one who has and' will encourage anything worthwhile. I desire to express my personal patitude to the various civic bodies which have made possible the organization of the Junior symphony, orchestra, and. I hope that when a concert is given In the near future all r lovers of music and 'Children win turn but en masse to strengthen the teal of all those who are laying the foundation for a worthwhile in stitution. . 4 - s Thanking you. ; . , .

"Three land planes and an am phibian,' muttered ; Dare. "I'll have' a sweet time trying to ease that amphibian out- from behind the others.

It seemed .that .nothing eonld pene trate that living barrier of vege tation, yet from the midst of it suddenly appeared two pin points of light. As the boys watched. the bright specks expanded ' Into the glaring- brilliance- of a motor car's headlights, twisting and turning as they followed some winding road through the brush. ; The car emerged from the nar row road, swung around In a quaS ter-circle and bounced -across the clearing toward the wide apron of light in front, of the open hangar door, revealing itself as a, small platform truck of the type used to carry boxes of fruit to the pack ing houses. The men who had been working. npoa the airplanes gathered around It and began to carry odd-shaped bundles from the truck to-the ship which stood nearest the open door. A man dressed in aviator's helmet and coveralls climbed Into the cock pit. The propeller kicked over jerkily, then smoothly and van ished in a glittering arc. The mo tor roared, died away, roared again,.' The workmen still carried their bundles from the truck.. stowing them carefully into the forward coekpit of the Idling ship. .The truck moved away from the door. The plane, its motor snarl ing viciously, lumbered out of the building; bumping and swaying as it trundled across the uneven ground. Its tail rose as it gath ered speed and 'scurried along. just tapping the earth with its fat tires. It was no longer a miss hap- en, awkward thing; it , wag a throbbing restless bird, eager to kick the ground away : from its feet. And then It was off. in. a hurricane of sound It leaped Into the air, hurtled across the tops of the orange trees and disappeared, leaving only a sweeping wind and the smell of burned gasoline to mark its passing. i 1 ?

April A. 1S45," Dr. Elijah White, - eub-agent of Indian affairs for all the country west of the Miourf river, made an official report to the secretary of war. - All matters concerning Indiana, were then handled by the war department, a review oi ov 1 year old report la intereating. Throneh the noUteness of Governor McLoaghlln the Hud son's Bay express leaving, via the mountains, for Canada tomorrow I bar again the honor and pleasure of addressing you from this . remote - portion of earth," opened the report.

(The destruction of the dis-tiUery-took place near Oregon City, and one of the owners chal lenged Dr. White to fight a duel.) Dr. Wiite reported that the if 44 Immigration, starting - too ite, and the. winter rains com mencing earlier -than usual, its members were subjected to "in credible suffering and hardships, especially from the dalles of the Columbia to th Willamette valley.- . - V But, he added, "our early and delightful spring is exerting a cheerful and most salutary influ ence upon their hitherto depress ed spirits"; an that "they hare, bee .like," been hived up In Oregon City during the winter, and are now Swarming to the entire satis faction of the first occupants of the hive; and that the last Immi gration. (If 44), numberlnf about lfjoo, are generally pleased with the country, and are setting about their spring's work with becom ing spirit and fortitude. . As to the Indians of the lower country, he reported: fThe pres ent state of things between ns and them Is peculiar, critical, unenvia ble, and dangerous, at least so far as peace and property are con cerned." He reported . that the chief of the Fallatine (Tualatin r plains, his people not being able to get game, had butchered a set tler's or, and that another lodge had killed a white man's cow. Dr. White was called upon to settle these .'matters. The settlers made the Fallatine chief give his gun and eight horses for the filled ox; which Dr. White thought was too much. ; , - Dr. White reported on the mur der of Elijah, Christian Indian, at Fort Sutter -tn this letter. He called it thts horrible affair," ani feared for the consequences. Elijah had been educated .aad converted at the Methodist mis sion 10 miles below what became Salem, and he was the son of Peu- peumoxmox. or' Teuow Serpent, head chief of the Walla Wallas. The murder was In the fall of 1844, and the effects of it brought a bloody -trail through out all the Indian wars of the Ore gon Country thereafter.

Women's tales, he must have thought; fanciful imaginings In duced by - excessive grief -mere "idle talk." But with his charac teristic impetuosity he arose and ran to the tomb. Incredulous of course; and not convinced after he peered In and saw the cast off .linens of the entombment, so ne went home wondering what would happen next. - The doctrine of the Immortal ity of. the soul is far older than the gospel story of the resurrec tion. -Egypt had its "book of the dead," and careful embalming preserved the bodies -to house the spirits In the hereaf ter. Greek mythology had the coin for Charon, ferryman con voying, dead souls across the river Styx. Zoroaster"whoee dual ism; of good and evil anticipated the division which continues In the theologies of the present, re warded the virtuous with Immor tality and the Impure he cast in to the pit . o'f demons. It was Christianity though, with Its graphic -story of Christ's triumph over death, which gave widest currency to the belief In a fu ture life. . The doctrine was, as Gibboa asserts, -one of the'gyeat causes for the spread of the new faith throughout the Roman em pire.

"I attended the examination of the Methodist in stitute school a few weeks since, a and was most agreeaDiy uuproBo ed regarding the institution.

No in deed, for there are thousands who do not profess to be Christ ians, who yet believe that when man dies he will live again. To them immortality comes as the only reasonable sol .tlon for the disparities and injustices of the ! present life, for the lnadequac ies of our present development and. the bafflements that accom pany our defeats. The sentient beingr like man, with intelligence, with feelings, with -reasoning powers Is not merely to be cast aslO when his dsy is done, the dust of the body rejoining the dust- of earth. ' For him there must be survival. - How many heard the famous lecturer , George R. Wendllng In his great lecture, "Is Death the End" T It was a masterly affirma tive argument on the question : "If a man die shall he live again!" Is .life merely a few de cades et inctrhdescence . between two dark, voids? Or is it a pre-, Iude to an .indefinite period of self-realization T The cynics, see ing no proof, hearing no voice from the other shore, deny hope of survival to man. Christians on the other hand, continue firm in the conviction of life after death even though not all of them ac cept the literal story' of the resur rection of Jeens, .Easter is the day of a renewal of this hope, a day of revival. Just as the earth bedecks her self again In mantle of green, and vegetation renews its life after the winter's dormancy, so Is there fresh . confidence that man .will lire again, not merely as some continuing influence as Georgs Elliott thought, but as a vital and Individual personaUty. Scientists and philosophers may shake their heads because the visual proof Is not. presented; but the poet with the affirma tive Intuition which he possesses, does not hesitate to leap the rap from fcienfiria fact to firm faith.
