SAVE THE TREES. ,
Apparently Mr. Mather and Mr.
Grant, who urged so strongly while
here lust Thursday that a strip of
trees along the highway be saved,
went on to preach the gospel wher
ever they could. ' A news dispatch
to a Portland paper from Hood
River quotes Mr. Grant as saying
there; "These- forests are to us
easteners the most beautiful things
along' your roads.- You permit the
firs along the routes to remain in
private hands and then build the
roads through the timber. The first
thing you know wood cutters have
demolished one of the biggest as
sets you have."
Later in Portland, according to
the same paper, they urged "pro
tection of forests bordering the Co
lumbia highway, along the main
highway through Central Oregon
near Bend and in the Crater lake
region.".
As a result of their work reso
lutions have been adopted by the
Portland . Chamber of Commerce
looking to the preservation of Urn
bered strips, arid a committee is to
give its attention to the task. We
reprint the resolutions herewith
with the suggestion that the Com
mercial club give its aid in this
section. The resolutions are as
follows:
"Resolved, that a committee be
appointed by the two chambers to
cooperate with the federal and state
road building agencies to further
the protection of the scenic beau
ties of Oregon's highways, to act as
a force in urging appropriate legls
lation to this end, and to promote a
, state-wide organization for this pur
pose; and be it further
' "Resolved, that the committees
named, or another chosen especially
for this purpose, shall consult with
the state highway commission, the
county authorities, the United States
forestry service, the bureau of pub
lic roads, and large timber owners,
relative to the preservation of tim
bered stripB along scenic highways.
either by reservation, donation or
purchase, and to develop some plan
whereby the means for this may be
secured; and be It further
"Resolved, that the committee or
committees named by the two cham
bers shall cooperate with the forest
service in securing federal legisla
tion, that along scenic highways any
privately owned land in or near the
national forests may be exchanged
for national forest lands and the
preservation of the timber assured."

or conciliation that they had no
ftght against the Bend merchants
was the statement today of Ray
Canterbury, vice president of the
International Timberworkers' union
in commenting on the report of last
week's meeting as published in a
Portland paper.
The union delegates said that the
Bend merchants were justified in
charging more than in certain other
towns of the state because of the
long haul to Bend," Mr. Canterbury
said. .
"Representatives of the employ
ers," he continued, "contended that
it was useless to raise wages, as
the merchants advanced their prices
whenever this was done. The em
ployers' representatives even sug
gested that a company store be put
in to overcome this condition.
"The board of conciliation has
doomed It necessary to extend its
Investigation over the entire pine
district."
T. A. McCann, of The Shevlln
Hixon Company, . representative of
the Bend mills at the meeting of
the conciliation botrd, Is not In the
city, so that ho statement from the
employers relative to the conference
eould be obtained. ' ' -
FOILED PLAN FOR ALLIANCE
How Bismarck Frustrated Negotia

tween France and Austria,
An Incldi'iit from Mr. C O. Robert
son's life of B'smnrck throws inter
esting light on the methodical wny in
which Bismarck worked out his state
policies, it concerns the negotiations
opened between France anil Austria
after lStlti for an iilllanee UKiilnst
Trunin. Kniperor Pram-Is Joseph had
emerged from the Seven Weeks' war
desirous of revenge and with substan
tial forces still linnet. Napoleon met

weeks Inter the Austrian emperor trav
eled to France with his military suite
and gave orders ttmt the Imperial
train should stop nowhere on (ieriinin
soil. anil. In particular, that it should
pass the South Ciermnn courts at night
In order to avoid embarrassing Inter
views. Nothing marred the monarch's pence
of mind until, In the tleiid of night, the
train approached the Gorman frontier
near Rudcn-Badcn ; there It suddenly
came to a standstill. The aide-de-camp,
on Inquiring for the reason, was
shown a lonely figure wrapped In a
dark military clonk standing In a
pouring rain. The stranger wanted to
speak to the Emperor Francis Joseph.
ho was he? It was King William of
Prussia!
Thus, on a dark September night In
ISO", did the emperor of Austria and
the king of Prussia meet for the first
time since Konlggrats. The Interview
lasted several hours and took place In
the rear carriage of the imperial train.
What passsed Is not known, hut th
writer Is satisfied that Wllllnm of
Prussia asked Francis Joseph not to
betray the German cause, and warned
him of the forthcoming Franco-German
war. On reaching Paris Emperor Frau
ds Joseph proved adamant to the
most tempting offers of alliance. The
Incident remained a secret ; a few local
papers referred to It as merely a slight
mishap to the imperial train! Youth's

NAME MEANS WHITE ISLAND
Probable Explanation of Why Island
of Great Britain Has Been
Called "Albion."
"Albion" Is the oldest name by
which the Island of Great Britain was
known to the Greeks and Romans.
Greut Britain and Ireland were known
by the general appellation of the Brit
annic islands, while the former was
designated by that particular name of
Allium or Alwlon, and the latter by
that of Ierne, Iouernla or Erin. Cae
sar does not use the word Albion ; his
name for England was Brltannln.
Pliny says: 'The nume of the Island
was 'Albion.' the whole set of Islands
being called Brltnnnlc." The word
"Albion" Is still the only name by
which the Gaels of Scotland designate
that country; and the word signifies
In the Gaelic language, white or fair
Island. The word "nib" Itself is not
now In use In Gaelic, but Is probably
the same root thnt we find In the Lat
in adjective "al-bus." and In the word
"Alps." The name of Albion was prob
ably given to England by the Gaels
of the opposite coast, who could not
fall to be struck by the chalky cliffs
that characterized the nearest part
of Kent. Some authors derive it from
Albion, son of Neptune by Ahphrltite,
who according to the fabulous story
went into Britain, established a king
dom and first Introduced astrology and
the art of building ships. He was killed
at the mouth of the Rhone with stones
throw n hy Jupiter, because he op
posed the passage of Hercules.
Left the Secretary Guessing,
The following story Is told of the
lute Joaquin Miller, the "poet of the
Sierras." A certain club desired the
poet to address an annual meeting.
for .which nn elaborate program had
been prepared. The secretary wrote
a letter to Miller, telling him of the
purpose of the gathering and request
ing his co-operation. In due time
there came an answer from the poet.
It was in his own hand and covered
four pages. In vain the secretary puz
zled over the manuscript. He passed It
on to the president, the board of di
rectors and the members th- turn, but
all fulled to decipher the scrawl. The
question before the club was.. "Has
Miller accepted or hus he declined?"
The secretary finally sent the follow
ing note to the poet : "My Dear Mr.
Miller Your letter received, but I
have been unable to determine wheth
er you have accepted or declined our
Invitation. If you will he present on
the date' mentioned, will jou kindly
make, a cross at the bottom of this
letter? If It' will be Impossible for
you to appear, will Von kindly draw a
circle?" In due time (he letter cSme

cide whellier the poet had drawn n
cross or a circle I
Bulgaria Land of Roses.
If one visits the rose fields of Bul

The picturesque costumes amid the
blooms of roses look very beautiful to

OLD BELIEF CALLED SILLY
Idea, Long Held, That Pearls Decay
if Not Worn Is Ridiculed
by Expert.
' Tends abound In romance, mid ro
mance abounds In fiction. This fact
was strikingly brought to light by a
full page advertisement of Hurcumb's,
London auctioneer who docs u Inrge
published recently lit. the I-ondou
Times. Hurconih chats fumiliiirly with
his prospective customers about fact
and Action In the business, of buying
and selling Jewels ami plate. This
paragraph he quotes from a weekly
pnH-r which "lins the largest circula

"Some family heirlooms of great
historic value hud to be Inspected. A
visit was paid hy the solicitors to a
bank, where various tin boxes were
deposited In n strong room, line of
these tin boxes contained a lovely
pearl necklace. On being opened,
however. It was found that after
many years the pearls were discol
ored, and In some cases li.nl crum
bled to dust. A specialist said if they
had been occasionally brought to the
light nnd hint been worn, they would
have been In as good a condition as
when they were deposited In the
strong room of the bunk. What a les
son It conveys of the folly and error
of hoarding our possessions! God
wants us not to bury our talents any
more than our treasures. They will
sink into atrophy by non-use."
Hurcomb comments that "the ed
itors should have exercised mora

peat that the statement Is nil rubbish,
every bit of It, although I agree with
the application." ,
torn Early American History.
The Automobile Blue Book rakes up
some early Amerlcnn history. Man

domain of the Sioux Indians. In 1JMI2
this tribe, according to the tour bible,

of the government In paying their an

that the Civil war had taken so mnny
men from the country, the Sioux In
augurated one' of the bloodiest mas

OBTAIN VARNISH FROM TREE
China Has Source of Valuable Supply,
But It Poisonous Quality Limits
Its Use.
Varnish Is produced In China from
a tree commonly sxiken of ax the var
nish tree, but known botniilcally its
rbus veriiiclfem, which Is found In
nbundance In the mountains of llupeh,
The vnmlsh Is taken from the tree
after It Is about six Inches In diameter
by tupping nt Intervals of from five
to seven years, irtitll the tree Is fifty or
sixty years of age. A good-slxcd tret
will yield from five to seven pounds
of varnish.
The nntural color of the erudo var
nish as applied Is black. It is con
sidered the most Indestructible varnish
known. One peculiarity Is that It hard
ens only In it moist atmosphere.
In China It is erroneously known
nmong the foreign communities as
"Nlngpo vnrnlsh," probably because
It first came Into contact with foreign
trade there, writes Commercial At
tache Julian Arnold from Peking. j
Many persons are, poisoned when i
they come into even iitmospheric con- I
tact with this varnish, which fact, un
fortunately, reduces Its trade possi
bilities enormously. As yet no meth
od bits been discovered whereby this
poisonous quality run be counteracted.
Hollow Concrete.
According to 'the Bruckeiihau, the
production of hollow concrete bodies
completely Inclosed, which has hither
to only been (Hisslble within certain
limits. Is made eusler by the new pat
ent system of Stefuti Itohm of Munich,
who proposes to Inclose a block of Ice
of the required shape In concrete.
Of course, small openings or channels
would be left, by means of which the
thaw water could escape. In this wny
it Is possible to produce not only
small concrete bodies with -hollow cen
ters but large ones as well. The pro
cess can be applied to artlllcinl (tone.
Perhaps Snakes Couldn't Get There
Why are there no snakes In Ire
land? The answer is; Because
snakes had their cradle elsewhere and
couldn't cross tha Irish sen. They
originated, apparently, in Asia nnd
sprenil easily over Kurope, nnd got
across in considerable numbers Into
(ireut Britain, by aid of a now suit
merged "land bridge," but (lie Irish
sen wus too deep for Hint kind of
bridge, and so snakes and toads never
reached the Kmernld Isle, and few
reptiles of any kind succeeded In get
ting there. It Is an old saying that
"find Is good to the Irish." Chicago
