. . -' ?' Hawlty at Home
yu .called on; former Congressman Willis C. Hawley at
Yf his. home on Oak street toward the end of a warm
J afternoon Tuesday. Found him sittino: in the shade at the
. rear end of his lot which borders on Mill creek, and he was
reading, would you believe it? a detective story. He made
. quite a picture of a statesman in retirement, his dark suit
of light sunimer weight set of f bv a white eolferV can on
. his head. We noticed he had a pair of field glasses hang-
- tag Dy a cord about his neck. Soon a bird gave a brief flute
' : lAmi At". "'.""' so m
. , inai s a inrusn ', said tne lormer congressman,
' There's a black-headed grosbeak around too".
.'-At intervals in his reading he uses the glasses to verify
with his eyes the identity which his ears give to the sing
ing birds. Birds would love such a cool, shady retreat. There
are two benches or ground levels between the creek and the
house, covered with trees, young maple, flowering shrubs,
4 stately firs. : , , : vr.
The picture rather belies the life which Mr. Hawley has
been leading since his return from, Washington. He has not
just slipped into j an easy chair to bask in idleness. That
change would be too abrupt 'for a man who has lived a full
life, most of it in posts of heavy responsibility. As Mr. Haw
ley said, he had been in congress for 25 years and subject
to all the pressure which attends that important public of-.
f ice. frior to that he was president of Willamette university
through a very critical period.
"At one time I had to carry the university onxmy own
responsibility", said Mr. Hawley. "The trustees .wanted to
close it and finally turned it over to me, and I had to carry
the full load of keeping it going".
The present flourishing institution stands as a monu
ment to Mr. Hawley 's persistence and courage in the face
of trying conditions of over a quarter century ago. That
J service is not unrequited however, and Mr. Hawley com
' mented on the fine loyalty of his former students when he
meets them from time to time.
The Hawleys- have returned to make their home in Sa
lem; and have set about to fix up the house and yard for
more comfortable living, now that they do not have to f ig-
ure on hurrying back after a few months stay for an open-
'i ing of congress. So Mr. Hawley has been doing with his own
hands considerable carpentry work. He has built store
rooms and shelves in the basement where he is storing

sion of the law by which losses on sales of stocks could be
claimed was included by the vote of ten democrats and
three republicans, Jack Garner, now vice president teaming
up with Ogden Mills to include the provision and at the same
time to lower rates in the lower brackets.
"It is difficult to frame a law dealing with stock sales",
Mr. Hawley remarked. "Those men are very adroit. We
would have them before the committee ; and when we thought
we had things all fixed up, these shrewd New Yorkers would
devise some way to get around the new provisions."
We asked hira if he had heard from Herbert Hoover,
another victim of the "new deal" mandate. "Nothing," re
plied Hawley,. "except he invited us down to visit him at
Tajo Alto." . . . ' . .
j Mr. Hawley is keeping, no downtown office, handling
hU correspondence at his home. He is arranging his books
and papers, and may do some writing later on. Mrs. Haw
ley, during her residence in Washington accumulated quite
a store of rare, old maho&any furniture and many pieces of J
oldi pewter ware. These were shipped by the canal and it
has been quite a chore to uncrate them, place the pieces
and move out tne furnishings that were replaced. Mrs. Haw
ley is proud of one particular table, a rich mahogany of rare
design, once the proud possession of a supreme court jus
tice, on which presidents were served in days gone by.
" f The only responsibility which Mr. Hawley carries now
is that of a manager of the Woodmen of theWorld which
takes him to Denver a few times a year. He srives no evi-
dencS of cherishing any bitterness oyer his defeat of a year
' j ago, which retired him from congress where he had spent
- a quarter of a century, recognizing it as one of the turns of
" politics. He did manifest deep, satisfaction over the tribute
paid him at the close of the session when Minority Leader
Rainey said Hawley was leaving congress with the respect
and friendship of every member, and all the members arose
to honor him. i ; -"..

A PASSING A BIRO shop, the other
day, I noticed a sign before a par

free from psitta

rietor of the shop
told me he had

Inquire as to
whether It was
safe to purchase
a parrot. They
wanted to know
how tbey could
be assured the
bird was In per
feet health.
Hany of my
readers will re
call, the recent
epidemic of "pstttacosU", or "parrots
disease", as If Is more commonly
called. The epidemic was traced to a
shipment of birds stricken with this
disease. The affliction quickly spread
to human beings who had. contact
with the diseased birds. :
"- Disease Rare Now
X am glad to say. that by reason
of the rigid measures taken by quax
anune omciau, tne disease u now
rarely encountered. Psittacosis
never seen In domestic birds. - Par
rots that are brought to this country
from South America and European
ports must undergo rigid .health In
spectlon before they are admitted to
this country and permitted to be sold.
Psittacosis is caused by a germ
caned "badUus psittacosis . The
germ i la transmitted from the dis
eased bird to those Individuals who
handla or care for the bird. Tho at
nicted person complains of chOls,
zevar and headache. -
- Thia la, followed by pain la the
cheat and persistent cough. In many
itTw thj nine la confused with
pneumonia. The signs of psittacosis
are sometimes identical with those of
pneumonia,
Neglect of the disease la danger
ous and may prove fatal. It la es
pecially serious if It afflicts the very
young, or elderly persons.
New Serum Effective
Fortunately, it Is now possible to
treat the more serious cases wtth a
serum called "convalescent serum".
This serum has been used with great
success In a large number of cases.
It la hoped that further studies wtfl
lead to the discovery of a vaccine
that will be used as a preventive of
thia disease.
Tea can be assured of the health
of a- pet' by careful Inquiry as to
when it was brought to thia country
and If it has been examined for putt-
jess. Bear la mind that a sick
bird Is without appetite, has a cough,
diarrhea and roughing of the feath
ers.
ah bird with these signs should be
suspacxea or psmacosis ana- noi ac
cepted as a family pet : It is a men
ace to the health of the family. Even
If assured of no disease I would ad
vise, that you refrain from purchas
ing a bird with these signs.
When you purchase a parrot, love
bird," parrakeet or canary, see that
it Is in good health and shows no
signs of disease. Whenever possible.
purchase a bird- of domestic breed.
If It Is a tropical bird insist upon a
certificate of health to protect yen

robbery and burning of tho houses
of Brooke; Bumford, Noble and
McKay, and tho stealing of the
cattle of tho settlers, ho at first
denied having done these things,
but finally admitted that these
were acts of his young men, whom
he could not restrain-
"When told that tho Cayuse
Chief, Howllsh Wampool, had tes
tified to seeing him distribute the
goods with his own hands, and
had witnessed him laying out a
pile of blankets as an inducement
to tho Cayuses to join in a war.
ho made no reply to the direct
charge, but offered to make his
people restore tho goods so far as
ho was ablej and cause payment
to be made for the rest. (The
Hudson's Bay company, had about
1 3 7,000 worth of goods In their
fort, and Governor Stevens of
Washington Territory had left
there a large amount of govern
ment stores when ho proceeded to
the i Black foot country on his
treaty making expedition,) He
was Informed that this would not
be sufficient,' but that la addition
his people must surrender their
arms ' and ammunition, give the
troops cattle for beef. And: horses
to remount the command.' and en
able It to pursue tho other hostile
Indians.
"To these terms Peopeomoxmox
gave his assent, promising to
come on the. following day and
deliver up his arms.
-But Colonel KeUy. believing
from his deportment that he only
desired to remove his people, and
would not return if permitted to
go, answered that he had come to
wage war- against him; that for
him to rejoin, his vUlages would
be to invite an attack, as no cre
dit was given to his assurances
that he would . not return: but
that, if he were dealing In good
faith, : he could, well come with
him and' remain until his prom
ises were fulfilled. -v
"The interpreter was then or
dered to state distinctly to him
that he was at liberty to go under
his flag of truce; but that, if he
did so, he would be subjecting his
villages to an immediate assault;
but if, , on . the other hand, he
chose, with six of his followers,
to remain with the army, and
fulfill the terms of his proposed
treaty, his people would not be
molested. -

"Thus hard pressed, tho
haughty chief reluctantly consent
ed to remain as a hostage for the
fulfillment of his word and the
safety of bis people, saying that
the following morning he would
take tho troops to his village and
arrange the business.
"Ho also assured the colonel
that none of his people would re
move during the night. A guard
waa placed over him and his six
men, and the command, by re
quest of. the chief, moved towards
his village to find some beef cat
tle, the men having had nothing
to eat all day.
"On the march the CO or more
Walla Walla warriors traveled un

"After marching about a halt a
mile, it was observed that they
were being led into a rugged can
yon through which flowed tho
Touchet. in which the village of
the chief was situated; and, be
ing already quite late in the aft

to enter a ravine where a surprise
