ENGLISH METHODS
NOT FAVORED HERE
Chicago, Feb. 21. Criticism of the
belligerent attitude of English suffra
gettes for women is expressed In res
olutions signed by nearly 100 of the
leading women of the Abraham Lin
coln Centor, an independent institu
tional church of tbis city, and for
warded to Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst
in London.
The resolution reads as follow:
"We, workers of the Abraham Lin
coln Center and friends of woman
suffrage, earnestly deplore the bellig
erent law-defying attitude of those
sisters in England, who by their bel
ligerency, we fear, are menacing the
cause dear to them and to us. The
appeal should be to reason and not
to arms. Militancy belongs to the
past, or passing regime that is mas
culine. The appeal to reason, the ar
guments of love, alone will hasten
the government based on the hearth
stone, not on the bayonet. The home,
and not the regiment, is the unit of
government that women are to help
establish."

THE FAMILY BIBLE
Klamath Falls, Or., Is now sitting
up and taking notice, so to speak, be
cause of a report from the east pur
porting to be from statements filed
In the.Peabody museum of Harvard
by Dr. Charles Hallock, the famous
archaeologist, n which he says that
Cain, son of Abel, founded a city be
fore the great flood where Klamath
Falls is today.
People of that town who have for
gotten much of what they read In the
Bible, are reading the good book
again to brush up on biblical history,
so they will be able to discuss intelli
gently the interesting discovery that
has focused the eyes of historians on
their growing city.
According to the conclusions of
Professor Hallock's researches, the
country around Klamath Falls was
near the garden of Eden. He states
that a great number of relics and Im
plements used by the first people on
earth have been found In that section
of the country.
The citizens of Klamath Falls are
rf ?K.,.tdV'antage of the advertising
Possibilities which the story offers
and are already planning to put on a
lVummer 8how' ,n wh,c" the
old biblical characters dealing with
the time of Adam and Eve will be
Portrayed. To Frank Ira White, of
the Chamber of Commerce of Klam
ath Falls, who is in Portland, belongs
the credit of first exploiting the
scheme. 8
His idea Is to put on an extravagan
za dealing with the creation of man.
and will be given In connection with
their regular summer, water carnival
on Lake Ewanna. For the past few
days he has been In a number of mu
s c stores of Fortland seeking for mu
sic dealing with the old English ex
travaganza. "The Land of Nod."
"It Is true that a great number of
relics and implements of prehistoric
times have been found In the vicinity
of Klamath Falls," said Mr White
last night; "but up to this time the
people thought but little of their
finds. A number of ancient burial
grounds have also been uncovered
These were thought to have been
where Indians were burled, however.
Old legends among the Klamath In
dians are to the effect that their an
cient ancestors were burled here, but
now the legends are not given much
credence, for the people are interested
in the researches of Professor Hal-lock.
"Persons who never before
bible are seeking out the old family
oiume ana reading of the story of
Idam and Eve and their family.
Vhile I had read the Bible t ent
hold of one a few days aeo lust tn
brush up on the story. I don't know
ust how many others are doing the
same."

to be no democratic donkeys In the
inaugural parade on March 4. This
was decided at a meeting of the In
augural committee when if was asked
to pass upon the request of a Wash
ington man, who desired to lead a
donkey garnished with the horns of
a bull moose and the tusks of an ele
phant. Further, the committee decided
there should be no other animals In
the parade aside from horses. This
order was occasioned by the request
of an organization that proposed to
bring a one-eyed elephant dressed in

known, H. B. 73, which carries $50,

Junction with $50,000 expected to be
appropriated by the United States
government, for complete Investiga
tion of power projects for irrigation
in the state of Oregon, was passed by
the senate with only two dissenting
votes.
While attention is primarily direct
ed to irrigation projects which it is
expected will be developed on the
Deschutes, the bill is of general scope
and Is regarded as one of the most
Important steps In development of
water resources ever taken in the
state. The money used in the collec
tion of reliable data Is to be return
ed to the fund as this Information Is
used and paid for by Investors, so
funds will be constantly available.
At first the bill encountered serious
opposition. Amendments were ad
opted in the house to make more
clear the purposes cf the act and to
meet the objections of those who ex
pressed fear that development of one
or more units of any given project
would be Indefinitely held up when
capital is ready for use.
The blll was briefly explained in the
senate by Chairman Perkins of the
ways and means committee, -and the
roll call developed only two negative
