checking up and proving the correct
ness ot tne work already done.
The books of this cruise, which Am
to form a part of the permanent
records of Polk county, contain not
only all data needed by the Assessor
In placing a proper valuation on the
timber land, but much Information of
a useful character as wall Thv
show not only the amount of saw
timber and piling on each quarter
section, but also section
the topography of the country, direc
tion of water courses, location of
roads, trails, cabins, etc. Under the
head of remarks, the kind and
character of the timber on each section
is given, together with a description
of the soil. .
With the aid of these records, the
Assessor will be able to nlace a fair
valuation on every foot of timber land
in tne county, something that has
never been possible before. The In
justice of the old plan of assessing all
timber land at practically the same
figure is demonstrated in the fact that
in many Instances one quarter section
will be found to contain many million
feet of the very finest timber, while
the quarter adjoining it will be shown
to be absolutely worthless. Hereafter
it will be possible to place a true and
equitable valuation on every tract,
and the only work required in pre
serving the accuracy of the books will
be to make a note of the timber logged
off or burned each year.

FINE LECTURE-RCCITAL
People of Monmouth Highly En
tertained by Professor
Irving M. Glen.
The summer session of the State
Normal School at Monmouth enjoyed
a rare treat In the complimentary lecture-recital
by Professor I. M. Glen,
given in the Assembly Hall last Fri
day night The services of Professor
Glen were secured through the kind
ness of the Citizens' Lecture Course
committee and the liberality of the
business men of Monmouth, who
guaranteed all expenses and made the
admission free to all, in honor of the
summer school. A large and appre
ciative audience paid tribute to the
charm of the speaker, who held them
with deep interest from beginning to
end.
Professor Glen presented the story
of Othello, based upon a comparative
study, of the drama "Othello" hv
William Shakespeare and the opera
utneuo" by Uiuseppe Verdi, and
illustrated with readings from the
principal scenes of the former and
with musical selections from the lat
ter. The coherence and unity of the
entire presentation, woven together in
tne beautiful diction which is so char
acteristic of the speaker: the dicnitv
and grace of the dramatic interpreta
tions; the delicate expression and
power displayed in the musical selec
tions from the opera ; the subtlety and
delicacy of the critical analysis; all
showed the masterly art of the enter
tainer.
The unique character of such a pre
sentation, calling for scholarship,
literary grace, dramatio instinct and
musicianship of a high order, revealed
a versatility possessed hv few mortals.
Professor Glen should be prevailed
upon to devote more time upon the
public platform.

Gives Brief Outline of Proceedings
of Woodman Head Camp
Convention.
Judge J. E. Sibley arrived home
Saturday from Seattle, where he had
been In attendance upon the Head
Camp convention of the Woodnieu of
the World. Judge Sibley was a mem
ber of the Committee on Claims and
Appeals, a position of great responsi
bility and importance, and his duties
required a vast amount of careful and
painstaking work. He found time,
however, to participate in some of the
social features and speaks in praise
or the entertainment furnished the
visitors by the people of Seattle.
"The 1907 session of the nead Camp
was a business session from start to
finish," said Judge Sibley yesterday,
"and, considering the radical nature
of many of the changes in the consti
tution, the proceedings were conducted
in a harmonious and fraternal spirit
thatspeaks well for the order. Although
opinion differed widely on a few ques
tions of Importance, the minority
gracefully accepted the decision of the
majority, and the delegates all went
home pledging themselves to work
more earnestly than ever to advance
the Interests of Woodcraft" The fol
lowing is a brief outline of the work
of the convention ;
The assessment rate for old mem
bers was raised to correspond with the
rates charged new members at the
present time, the revised rates to
become effective January 1, 1908.
The Head Camp convention will
hereafter be held every three years
instead of every two-years. This
change will result in a great reduc
tion of expense to the order.
The per capita tax was restored to
the old 'ate of 15 cents for each as
sessment. All head officers were re-elected
except Head Manager Still man, who
was not a candidate for office.
The salary of Head Consul Boak
was raised from $5000 to $6000 a year.
The next session of the Head Camp
will be held In Portlaud in 1910. The
headquarters of the order will remain
in Denver.

Judge J. L. Collins Tells of Early
Cabin Life on Skinner's
Butte.
DALLAS, Or., July 30-(To the
Editor.) On reaching Eugene City,
last Sunday, I was hailed by Doc
Patterson, who was Deputy Clerk of
Polk County under Eugene Hayter,
when our new stone court house was
built We had a very pleasant visit
and he introduced me to his charming
wife, and his beautiful little baby
girl, of about two years old, who
thinks her papa Is a prince ot men.
Doc told me to give his love to Eugene
Hayter and all the rest of hl3 friends
in Dallas.
Just before noon, Monday, I went
on top of Skinner's Butte to look over
the valley and try to see what changes
had taken place since I wintered there
In 1846-7. I found an Immense water
reservoir on the tip top of the Butte,
which supplies water to the city below.
To the east of this is the ruin of an
old observatory, and further on, and
down, is another large tank of water.
I could see from the height that the
Willamette River, here, has made
great changes in its channel In the
last sixty years.
I went to the north end of the Butte
and sat down under the shade of a
little scrubby oak, which was there In
1840, but Is not much larger now,
apparently, than then. As I sat there,
looking down, and while trying to
locate the site of Skinner's old log
cabin, some quarrymen, at the foot of
the hill, almost under ray feet let off
ten tremendous blasts of giant powder.
At first, I was startled, then I recog
nized it as an involuntary salute to
myself as the first white roan who
ever lived at Eugene City. I went
down to the quarry and thanked the
men for the compliment they had paid
me. I related the history of my winter
at that place in 1846, and we had a
genial, good-natured laugh over the
coincidence. They pointed out to me
a basaltio pillar just below the quarry
and said that it bad been placed there
to mark the site of Skinner's log cabin.
I went down to it, and found this
nscription upon It: "Site of first cabin
in Eugene, built by Eugene E Skinner,
1846." I copied the inscriptions ; as I
turned away from the spot so dear to
my memory, the men at the quarry
let off another tremendous blaBt. This
was a genuine salute in my honor.
God bless them I
Skinner was the first man who ever
built a house In Eugene City, and I
was the first white person who ever
lived in it. And thereby hangs many
a tale that your space could not accom
modate ; aDd, very likely, many read
ers, of the present generation, would
not tolerate or recognize as the truth,
for that is long ago, and I was a mere
boy then. Most f the "Palace Car
Pioneers" of the present day, who
cross the continent to the Pacific In
fouror five days of "unbearable hard
ship" In a Pullman car, would never
believe that a child less than fourteen
years of age could possibly subsist
himself for several months In the dead
of winter, with his rifle alone, after
months of toll across the Plains with
ox-teams. The true ancient history of
Oregon must die with us, for if we
publish it we may be branded as
drawers of the "long bow."
