When I first came here the varia tion of the compass was about 19 deg. 20 min. east of north and it kept increasing little by little until in 1850, it was 19.5 deg. and in some places 20 deg. That is the first point. The other is that when I first arrived here the climate was dry, with a little cold weather in the winter, and our crops were al ways put in early. Afterwards it began to change, getting wetter all the while until we thought we should be compelled to leave the country. In the meantime the val uation of the compass had changed to about 21 or 22 and in some places it was as high as 22.5 in its regular course east, then when I was coun ty surveyor, I got a note from the observatory at Washington stating that the compass was slightly turn ing west again. The wet seasons kept up until a few years ago and it is now getting dryer. iMow tne compass varies about twenty de erees, and the seasons seem to be coming back to where they were then. This may be an important fact in a scientific point of view, and I have watched the matter very closely, noting the different changes that have occured in the last fifty years and upwards. It may be that we are to have another series of dry years as the compass works westward it may get dryer and dry er until we will have a climate very different from what we have at the present time. During those dry seasons we always had plenty of rain during the winter, and occa sionaly a winter that the river did not overflow its banks. But we al ways had enough rain for the early sown grain. The Indians used to tell me that it did not snow any un til the white men came to the country. They did not track the elk, consequently they were glad we came so they could track the elk and deer. I do not know wheth er to believe that or not. I heard a good many stories about the high water that had been seen several years befote I came. And in Wisconsin, Too. At La Crosse. Wis., recently, the county authorities began an official investigation of charges that girls under 14 years of age are being sold to the highest bidders in the Syrian colony at North La Crosse. The investigation was ordered as the result of an attempt to secure a marriage license for a girl 13 years old. Evidence was submitted that the girl had been bid in for $300 on behalf of the prospective groom, but that her parents, on receiving a bid of $450, were attempting to repudi ate the first sale. A news telegram lrom Green Bay, Wis., says a remarkable coin cident is recalled by the death ofE. J. Newschwander of the Green Bay Advocate, which suspended publi cation a few weeks ago. He was returning from prayer meeting and fell dead on the street of heart dis ease. Just nine years ago, at the same hour, and almost at the same spot, his wife, who also was walk ing home from prayer service, dropped dead of heart disease. An other remarkable feature of the co incident is that in neither case had neart disease been suspected. Both ! appeared in perfect health when death struck them down. New. schwander, however, always mourned the dramatic passing of his wife, and ever after her death. was a regular attendant at prayer service, always walking home by the route she took, no matter what the weather. Last Friday afternoon H. b. Pur din, Elmer Thompson, Thomas Jewell, Tom Holdsworth and George Brown, the lormer until two weeks ago a resident of this city, and the Littei lour of Portland, fell forty feet from the deck of a flume trestle over Balch'i gulch, about 200 feet south of Willamette Heights bridge, Portland. Mr. Pur din died from bi4 injuries at Good Samaritan hospital at t o'clock that afternoon, never regaiuing con sciousness after the fall. Elmer Thompson wasterriWy maimed and had his back broken, Jewell had both legs and armsbroken, but will live, and Brown and Holdsworth were less injured. A jmy was im paneled Saturday and brought in the following verdict: "That the deceased, Hugh B Tur din, came to his death at the Good Samaritan hospital on the 15th day February, 1907. about j o'clock p. m. from the eflects of injuries re ceived about 1 1 a. in, of the same day by falling from the flume bridge under course of construction across Balch's gulch, about wo feet south of Willamette Heights bridge. From the evidence submitted to the jury, we tmu tuai tne accident was caused by the slipping of the sling which was improperly adjusted around a 15-foot bent, while same was being raised to a position, said sling being fastened to a hook and tackle, which' allowed the bent to fall across the stringers upon which the workmen were itwAHtig, cans ing same to break, precipitating the men 40 feet to the ground below."

TEACHERS AND PUPILS WORK Many Cities an Towns Ralelna Money to Advertlae Oregon's Opportunities. Senator Bevendge and Child Labor. The February number of the Wo man's Home Companion contains a comprehensive description of Sena tor Beveridge's national bill to abol ish child labor. The senator tells bow he worked in a logging camp at fourteen years of age, beginning before daybieak and ending after dark, and the lessons he learned there served as the present fight against the horror of child labor. After describing the evil, he adds: "But that is not the worst of it. The worst of it is that pretty soon these children 'come to age.' What kind of citizens do they make? London Hoolieans! That is the kind of citizens they make. Each boy and girl of this kind that devel ops into a man or a woman knows that he or she is inferior to his fel lows inferior in body, mind and soul. They not only feel it, they actually see it. They feel that they have been robbed in some way not robbed in money or property, but robbed of lite, of health, robbed of Intellect, robbed of spirit. And in their undeveloped brains, in their weakened hearts, in their cramped and deformed souls the fires of an unextinguishable wrath begin to burn. They go through life hating society, hating everybody and ev ervthine. For, while they do not Vnm much, thev do know tuai system of industry and a state ol society has worse than murdered them There is your material for anarchy. We hear a good many speeches about the danger of anar chists coming to this country from KEEP SHOUTING FOR OREGON Special Correspondence. Portland, Ore., Feb. 19th, 1907. The enthusiasm which is mani fested by the various commercial bodies throughout the state of Ore gon, particularly those holding membership in the Oregon Devel- opement League, in presenting to thousands ot people asking for Ore gon facts and opportunities, will certainly result in adding enor mously to the population of the state. Last Thursday night, Astoria, the oldest city in Oregon, held a meeting under the auspices of her Chamber of Commerce and raised 6,480 in less than an hour's time. This was $6,000 in cash for adver tising, and the $480 represented forty new members at $12 each. There were numerous subscribers of 300 per year and $180 per year, many at $120 and $60 per year, all payable monthly, and among the latter were three ladies. The North Bend Chamber of Commerce raised $5000 in two hours for advertising purposes. William Pollman, of Baker City, who never fails in any undertaking is in charge of a campaign started to thoroughly advertise that city. Thousands of letters are being re ceived by all the different organiza tions. Oregon City, La Grande, Al bany and many other points are do ing their part. The schools superintendents throughout the state, as well as the teachers are at work, and County Superintendent B. L. Milligan, of Malheur county, suggests that all should get busy and do all possible to stir up the school teachers and pupils to co-operate with the Ore gon Developement League adver tising our great state and the cheap colonist rates which begin March t and continue until April 30th. These rates of $25 from all Missou ri river points, St. Paul, Minneapo lis, and adjacent territory, present an opportunity to more than ten millions of people to get to almost any point in Oregon; from St. Louis the rate is $30, and from Chicago and the surrounding country $33. One of the best known citizens of Central Oregon, in conversation on the street in Portland, remarked that the whole state was ablaze with interest on the subject of the colonist rates, which were being utilized now for the first time by all the people of Oregon as a reason for writing letters to their relatives, ac quaintances and friends in distant states, to whom they are presenting the opportunities of their particular locality.
