Any ol These in HUlaboro. There are about eight classes of town killers, and every town is af flicted with one or more of them. First, those who go out of town to do their trading; second, those who are opposed to improvements; third those who prefer a quiet town to one ot push and business; fourth, those who imagine they own the town fifth, those who deride public spirit ed men; sixth, those who oppose movements not originating with themselves: seventh, those who oppose every movement that does not appear to benefit them; those who seek to injure the credit or re putation of their neighbors.

They were moving the de bris from the ruins ot a huge sky scraper there the other day, and he looked on. Scores of bodies he says were taken out from beneath the ruins. In one spot what seemed to be a family of five from their proximity to each other and geuer al appearances, was found. Under neath ruins everywhere bodies are found and instead of the small fig ures at which the fatalities of that terrible week are placed, he says the victims are to be counted by the tens of thousands, reaching an enormous total.

At her home at Pleasant Hill near Sherwood, Mrs. Hannah Eli alcth Calkins died last week Tues day. Mrs. Calkins was born iu Canton, Ilradfard County. Penn. September 8, 1833. She came with her parents to Illinois at an early age. From there they moved to Utah in the early settlement of that territory, where she was married to Sylvanus Calkins in 1851, return ing to Iowa with her about 1854. With her husband she crossed the plains U Oregon in 1864, arriving in the tall of that year after a six months' journey, settling near La Fayette. They moved Irora that place to Tleasant Hill in 1868. Two sous, Kli S. and Chauncy I., both now living on the home place, and Ivlecta M., deceased, were the children bora of their marriage Mrs. Calkins leaves a wide circle of friends.

Railway Croaatlea The United States Deparment of Agriculture has been taking an ac count ot the annual consumption by the railways of the country of lumber for crossties, and the results are somewhat appalling. It is fig ured that in 1905 no fewer than 84, 000,000 ties were consumed by the entire steam railway system, or the equivalent of three billion feet of lumber. As this does uot include the large and increasing amount used bv the electric railways, the seriousness of the problem will be apparent. The railways are awake to the gravity of the situation, though for a reason different from that which is arousing the anxiety of the gene ral public or that portion which gives a second thought to such ques- tions. One is worried over me supply; the other considers the 300,' 000 acres of woodland annually de nuded to meet the demand of the railways. The Pennsylvania Rail road company, with no especial care for the forestry aspects of the ques tion, but with an eye to its own needs, has begun the planting of trees as a source of tie supply. How tar this will come from meeting the calls of the future from this system alone will be seen from the estimate made by an officer of the company, that It would require the planting of 1,300,000 trees each year, a forest of 39,000,000 in all, and the perma nent occupation of 15J square miles of land allowing 400 trees to the acre and thirty years for the growth of the trees to the size required. Perhaps the questions will have to be settled ultimately by recourse to substitutes for lumber ties, but at present the concrete and metal sub stitutes are little beyond the expert mental stage. Other railways than the Pennsylvania have begun tree planting, but on a scale that is in- finitestimal in comparison with the annual consumption of from 80,- 000,000 to 1 10,000,000 ties. Atten tion is therefore being concentrated for the present upon better methods for the seasoning of ties, greater ac curacy in spacing, ana in general upon such improved practice as will secure the greatest service and the minimum of wear and tear.

This same matter will appear in each issue until the expiration of the advertising contract. It is an advertisement that is intended to convey to Wash ington county citizens a few facts about an educational institution with which they are not unfamiliar. That they, as well as others, may become more familiar with Pacific's present standing, within and without Oregon, illustrated literature, fresh from the press, may be had for the asking. This literature is replete with facts that tell and figures which convince. The articles are written by alumni and students of Pacific. They are all well worth the reading. Those contributed by students set forth present conditions in the institution, and are convincing because they are true. Of special interest are the articles written by alumni, Hon. H. W.
