A Letter from Jamaica.
Kingston, Jamaica,
Feb. 10, 1906.
E ditob H erald :
The first cop y
o f the H erald to reach me since I
left the United States came this
week, and it was read, advertise
ments and all. We shall hope for
semi-weekly visits.
We were exactly two weeks in
ooming from Eugene, Ore., to Fort
Antonio, Jamaica.
The change is
simply revolutionary.
From cold
weather to hot, from a sober coun
try to one where an earthquake
greeted us the 2rst week, from
American railroads to the Jamaican
government railway, where we travel
70 miles to get 30, in 5} hours,
where the first c U sb cars have
match strikers on the doors so it is
easy to smoke, where we go through
20 tunnels in 50 miles, where the
peanut boy is u girl, where natives
come to the train to sell fruit and
because you are a stranger charge
you double price, that is, 6 cents for
8 bananas, where they say “That’s
an ugly baby,” for, to say “ She is
pretty” would bring bad luck.
Everything is interesting to an
American.
Things that are not
Jamaica are English, ye know.
Everything, except the capital which
is developing the island. That’s
good old American gold. “Oh for
more Yankee enterprise,” we mourn.
Kingston is hot, dirty and ugly.
Its 50,1/00 people are packed into a
space about large enough for 20,-
000. The poor people live in single
"rooms" of which there will ,be
three or four in one “yard” and
each room is large enough for a
family.
Heating Btoves are not known
and cook stoves are about as scarce.
A cast iron cook stove was offered
me for $35, a stove thnt would sell
at home for about $7. Cooking is
done on open fires. Flour Is $!) per
barrel, beef, any part of the animAl,

miles. They give a day a week to
this in the six months or year in
j which it takes to erect the buildiDg.
The master mason has full plans for
the building whicb be claims to
understand, be manages to lay the
foundation a foot smaller than re
quired. The missionary spends an
hour instructing him how to make
same very simple angles. The min
ister returns home to find, perhaps,
some one who cannot afford to pay
the gout doctor, waiting free medi
cine, or, two litigants after they
have stated their case will be pre
vailed upon to arbitrate their “ law
suit” over 50 cents. Now a tramp,
once a prosperous pen-keeper,
furnishes a temperance sermon on
the woes of strong drink. The min
ister does not buy a horse that is
offered him, it is too ripe.
“The
time is loo stiff," says a young man
who has not been coming to church,
he has no money to buy good
clothes. The schools are practically
all under control of the minister,
and this particular man has three
which he superintends.
Seven to
thirteen years is Bchool age here.
The minister's library is varnished
tbis keeps off the cockroaches. He
uses it as he has time in preparing
his messages for his people.
In America, bugs, ants, gnats
and mosquitoes are prerequisites to
a picnic. In that respect, life here
is a picnic. For the poor people
oppressed by heavy taxes, by extor
tionate import duties, crowded to
gether in the immorial density in
their “ yards,” taught the vices but
not the virtues of “ civilization.” the
prey of unscrupulous sharpers, only
for the educated and then with
false ideas of an education and how
it should be used, for these people
life is no holiday.
Cordially,

To Discuss Municipal Govern
ment.
P ortland , M arch 1.— A Kiest con
ference of cities, which will be ad
dressed by leaders in the movement
for municipal reform, will be one of
the most important features of Sun
day exercises at the Lewis and Clark
exposition.
The cities of the Pacific North
west, the great territory which was
won for the United States by the
expedition of Lewis and Clark, will
be asked to send delegates to the
great civic's conference, which will
be held during the latter part of
August. Dr. Eagar P. Hill of Port-
land is now in the East ar
ranging for distinguished speakers
on subjects connected with munici
pal reform who will address the
gathering. The details of the con
ference will be left to the delegates.
It is expected that a league of North
west cities will be formed for the
mutual benefit of the cities joining
such a league.
Subjects of timely interest bave
been chosen for I be conference, and
the discussions will be along prac
tical lines.
“ How to Fight Cor
ruption in Cities” will occupy the
attention of the delegates for sev
eral days.
“ Social
Betterment
Work in Cities” is another topic,
which will include the suppression
of vice and the matter of dealing
with the liquor traffic, “ Municipal
Improvements will be a third topic,
and the discussions under this head
will include such practical subjects
as sewers, streets water plants, light
supply and sewerage disposal.

Day of
Uavailing Sacajawea
Statue Settled.
At a joint meeting of the Red
Men and the board of the Sacajawea
Statue association a few evening
ago July 6 was decided upon as
Red Men’s and Sacajawea day. A
committee waited upon the officers
of the fair and found that the date
would conflict with no other special
feature, and July 6 was definitely
decided upon by all concerned, and
from this on both organization« will
work toward making that day one
of the great ones of the fair.
It is definitely settled that Kip-
ka-pel-i-kan, the grandson of Black
Eagle, will probably be among the
speakers. This probably led to the
sensational dispatch from Nez Perces
that Moses was collecting a band of
Indians to bring to Portland, and
one of the features of their visit
would be taking charge of the un
veiling of the statute of Sacajawea.
Just who will unveil the statue
has not yet been announced, but the
Study Club ol Coquille will be giv.
en the hoDor of naming that person,
as they gave the largest donation,
over the amount asked, of any town
in the state.
Several good sized
donations have come during the
week from Boise, Idaho; Superior
Wis., and other goodly proportions
from Portland.
Again, however, it is painful to
state, Oregon is not doing her part
in this work; $2,509 of the $7,000 is
still to be raised. Up to the present
the amount contributed in money
by Portland is but $260, and $100
of this was given by one woman,
which leaves practically nothing
contributed by the public at large.
It does not speak well for the pa-
triotiotism of the state or city that
Bucb is the case,and a blush of shame
must certainly be felt when we rea
lize that this beautiful work of art
is being erected for us by people
from abroad.
Large contributions have not
been asked or expected, out when
tbis matter was first agitated it was
confidently believed that every
woman in the state of Oregon would
send at least 50 cents for a member
ship, and if this expectation had
been realized no one outside of the
state could have had the privilege
of saying they helped contribute to
it, and the few women who have
done the work, would not feel well-
nigh exhausted with the burden
they have had to carry.
But a few months now remain in
whicb to raise tbis $2,500, and it is
most earnestly hopod that the
womem of tbis state will yet waken
up to the necessity of their doing
something.
I f money cannot be
contributed work can. The buttons
will soon be ready to sell to the
school children, which will admit
them to the grounds free the day
of the unveiling.
Every woman of
the state could sell 10 or more and
help the work to that extent.
Some beautiful pictures have been
made of the statue and reproduced
in copper tints and mounted on
gray beard. These the association
bad made to supply the demands
for pictures that were constantly
made upon it, and it will sell them
to cover expense at five cents apiece.
Either the buttons or pictures may
be got from Mrs. C. M. Cartwright,
215, Seventh street.
A number of the autograph cop
ies of “ The Conquest” still remain
unsold, and will be given aa a prize
\ for every $10 seut to the association,
or will be sold at the regular price.
These may also be had from Mrs.
Cartwright.—Portland Journal.

A bill has been introduced in
