H. C. Wheeler Not
To Offer New Laws
"I havp. nothing as yet 1n tlie way
of any bill to present at the coming
session of Hie legislature and will
meet eneh issue as it arises," is the
program of H. C Wheeler, member
of tlie lower house from Idinc county,
who was a visitor here today from his
home near l'leasant Hill.
. I am opposed to the child labor
amendment as 1 believe that each
state should settle that matter noil
I do not believe that we in Oregon
should attempt to legislate along
those lines for other states by burking
a national law," .the legislator stnted.

The douations collected ly Eugene j
children for the Children's Farm
home at C'orvallis and the Boys' and
Girls' Aid society of 1'orthind were
llie largest donation ever received by 1
either society, according to letters re
ceived by O. II. Jones, clerk of tho
Lugruc school board. j
The farm home children received
approximately the fame quantity of (
material as was shipped to the I'ort- i
land organization, indudiug about -50
pieces of clothing, shoes, groceries j
and fruits of all kinds, cu inly, nuts and ,
canned fruits and vegetables. j
"Will you tell every boy and g'rl
in Eugene who' had a hand in making i
up this splendid gift to (he home, that
we appreciate their help," wrote C. J.
Webb, superintendent of the farm
home, and hope they will securo a
Idrhsing from the services they have
rendered to others.'.
"As 1 helped separate the toys and
gifts and clothing 1 could not help but
feel the individual touch of the differ
ent pupils, a ad the thought came to
me that I would like to be able to
meet, everyone who had a hand in
making up jho gift.
"We arc hoping aud praying that
another" year will bring more cottages
so it will not be uecof-snry to turn so
many children away. It is a fact that
boys and girls are no wbeing sent to
our training school who have com
mitted no irirae other than that they
must bo dependent upon others for
their keep; and many are kept in
homes that are nhnolutely unfit for
the rearing of children."

month after the president's inaugura
tion on March 4, in which For
bes was offered the governorship of
Alaska.
"1 expect in some suitable way to
bring you into the government and I
know, you want me to work it out to
the best advantage possible," the last
paragraph of the communication said.
It was addressed "My Dear For
bes." The prosecution objected to its
introduction in evidence and was sus
tained by the court, but James S.
Easby-Smith, counsel for Forbes in
sisted that the text be transcribed,
into the trial record, to which the
court consented.
The Harding letter to Forbes said:
"My dear Forbes;
"April 7,
"There is going to be difficulty In
naming you to a membership on the
shipping board. Of course, you know
whut this difficulty is. It is a thing
neither you nor I can avoid. I do
not ciue to write about it. I must, of
course, be considerate of the senators
from any state end in case of ignoriug
their recommendation I cannot well
choose a substitute appointment from
their state. This doea not preclude n
very desirable attachment of your
services to the shipping if that is de
sirable to you. It is a matter we can
talk about later. Meanwhile I have
another appointment which I thought
might appeal to you very strongly and
1 want to submit it in this confidential
way. There is a very strong conten
tion between the conflicting elements
.in Alaska over the governorship. 1
want to appoint a fine outstanding
man who cau go up there nud bring
about a restoration. I do not want
biin to represent any interests nor go
there with the thought of wrecking
things. I have almost made dip my
mind to npipiiut a governor from t tie
Mates. It has occurred to me that
this might afford you a fine oppor
tunity for constructive servico a ad
tJie making of n brilliant career, I do
it want to go further in the conoid
oration of your name 'ip this connec
tion unless I know that it will be
agreeable to you if a decision, i
rcuched to ask you to go there nud
serve. I do not know that I will
mnke such a request in the fiual cud
(lu-ion. Tho thing has been in my
mind however, and I wanted an ex
pression' from you before I go any
! further. If you think kindly of it, I
I wish you would wire me in n way Unit
1 will undeiHtuud wilhout specifically
mentioning the matter, it will be per
ferdy easy to say you await nrderi
