Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.
Q.RAHAM came to the town In which
he Is now living a good many
years ago without friends and without
money. He was honest, hard working,
and dependable, and in time he got on
in business. He made friends and he
married a sensible girl. He started a
little greenhouse out on the edge of
town, going Into debt for the land and
for the equipment, but he had a good
business and the future looked prom
ising. He had one recreation music. He
could sing and lie could play the
violin marvelously well. It was hie
one talent, and he used it skillfully fot
his own enjoyment and for the satis
faction of his friends.
Then one unlucky spring day a cy
clone struck the town and laid waste
a considerable part of the residence
district and left Gruham's greenhousi
a heap of tangled Iron and broker
glass. His dwelling house, which was
adjacent to the greenhouse was torn
into fragments by the swirling wind
and there was not a piece of glass left
In t lie greenhouse as big as a man'
hand.
Graham's wife and his three chll
dren were seriously, If not fatally
Injured, and the "whole family was in
the hospital, he with a crippled back
and a broken arm and a spirit pretty
well crushed. He was almost wreckej
physically, but a few days after the
storm he was driven out from the ho
pital to see the remnants of what WtU
once home. It was a bizarre sight oi
broken glass, twisled window frame)
and withen tl vegetables that met
his gaze. Nothing was left ; be bar1
nothing with which to start anew
and he was three thousand dollars ii
debt.
He would have shot himself, lie said
and ended his troubles at once, if lit
had had a gun. Then suddenly as he was
Bitting despondent In the midst of th
ruifl of his possessions, a robin eamt
and perched upon the broken brand
of a fullen maple tree and began ti
sing riotously and courageously. And
then nearby he saw a torn ' nest, the
little birds within it dead. It was an
other home wrecked. Tears came into
his eyes, and courage crept back into
his heart, and he pulled himself to
gether.
"If that bird can sing," he Said to
himself, "by God, I can sing too," and
he did.
Friends enme to his assistance, ho
made a new start, nnd today busim s
is flourishing. And still he sings and
plays the 1o!In.

Salem. The first two weeks of the
present session have passed with very
little of Importance accomplished, j
While a number of important bills
have been introduced no measure of
general interest has received attention
in both houses. With the exception
of the fight 'in the senate over the
Banks bill, which gives the right of
appeal to the circuit court where a
license is revoked by a city council,
the first two weeks of the session were
rather tame and devoid of public in-1
terest. The Banks bill passed the sen
ate, but it will meet with strong op
position in the house, as it is bitterly
opposed by Mayor Baker of Portland
and the Portland council.
The grist of bills introduced seems
to be about as numerous as during
previous sessions. A total of 61 bills
were introduced in the senate and 125
in the house during the first two
weeks.
Governor Pierce and the lawmakers
have not seriously clashed, but trouble
Is liable to break out at any time,
particularly if efforts being put forth
to perfect an organization to override
the governor's vetoes succeed.
Prohibition Investigation Lags.
Little was done by the committee
investigating the prohibition depart
ment last week, but interesting de
velopments are expected this week
when officials of various counties and
others are expected to appear before
the committee. The committee put
In much time last week going through
the mass of records brought from his
Portland office by Prohibition Com,
mlssioner Cleaver.
The public hearing on the proposed
ratification of the child labor amend
ment to the federal constitution
brought large delegations from Port
land. While it is doubtful if the
amendment will be ratified, sentiment
in its favor seems to be increasing.
The younger members of the legis
lature seem Inclined to favor ratifica
tion, but the older ones are dead set
against it.
Irrigation, which is likely to be one
of the most important subjects to re
ceive attention during the session, is
in more or less of a tangle.
The bills proposed by the Anglo-London-Paris
bank of San Francisco
are not liked by irrigatlonists, who
insist the measures are for the in
terest of the bondholders of the Warm
Springs project and not for the benefit
of the settlers. The bank agents flat
ly deny the imputation. At least four
irrigation bills will appear during the
coming week.
Creation of an office of state direc
tor of land reclamation to supervise .
both arid and wet land operations in
Oregon Is recommended in a report of
the committee on irrigation, appoint
ed under authority of a legislative act
passed two years ago.
Primary Amendment Proposed.
Two proposed amendments to the
direct primary law, calling for con
ventions have appeared. The Mills
bill provides for a post-primary nomin
ating convention, and a bill sponsored
by the Jackson county delegation pro
vides for a pre primary recommending
convention. The Mills bill was report
ed back by the house Judiciary com
mittee without recommendation. These
bills will undoubtedly provoke a flood
of oratory.
The drive for more normal schools
for Oregon opened In the house, when
delegation In both houses from Jack
son, Josephine and Klamath counties,
supported by some scattering mem
bers. Introduced house bill tfo. 87, In
tended to rehabilitate the ABhland nor
mal.
Simultaneously in the senate a bill
was Introduced to abolish, formally,
the state normal school at Weston.
Regents were authorized to dispose of
the property to the city of Weston.
Would Aid Farmer,. .
Sponsored by the entire eaitern Ore
gon delegation, a bill was Introduced
in the senate providing for the appro
prlatlon of $300,000 to be used by the
state board of control in affording re
lief to wheat farmers of the state
whose crops have been destroyed by
the recent freete. The bill authorizes
the board of control to loan from this
fund to farmers for the purchase of
not to exceed EOO bushels of seed
wheat, taking a mortgage on the nop
as security for the loan.
Tax Ban Asked.
Senator Dennis Introduced a Joint
resolution calling for a conititutlonal
amendment which would prohibit In
come and Inheritance taxes In Oregon,
and in the house Repr'-sentatlve Snel
len offered a resolution that would
prohibit the enactment of an Income
tax prior to the year 1960.
The Dennis resolution is patterned
closely after a constitutional amend
ment recently adopted Id Florida pro-
Department of The Interior, U. S.
.and Office at The Dalles. Oregon.
