ORE.. MAY 10, .1912 Homer Davenport, the oartoonist, who died tho other day iu New York, iu life never lost an opportunity to speak a good word for bis native state, Oregon. His home town, Silverton, was pnt on the map through many oarioatores and lectures by the great artist. Davenport counted bis friends by the legions in all walks of life. Be was a commoner but bis oalling and ortistio temperament brought him in contact with the rich and titled, who esteemed bis acquaintance and friend ship to the same' degree aa did the masses. No editorial pen bad more weight than did the crayon in the bands of Davenport. Bis was the fac ulty of portraying with instantaneous force and comprehension with mark and line any faot his publisher miabt want plaoed before his readers. So forcible were bis cartoons that they ceased to be supplementary to edito rials, to the degree that eventually the oartoou was songht first for enlighten ment on the topio at issue and the edi torial perused afterward for details. The world, inolnding Oregon and Sil verton,, is the better for Davenport having lived. With the prioe of whoat looking np, the few farmers of a speculative tarn of mind who are holding last season's orop and in some instances crops of two or three seasons mast be enjoy ing a thrill now and then when petus ing the market page. Bowever the cereal has not yet touched the dollar mark so the holding proocss may be oontinued indefinitely. Seven governors of northwest states have joined in issuing a proclamation calling a Northwestern Development Congress to meet at Seattle June 5 to 8. The states of Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da kota, Montana and Idaho are represen ted iu the call and these will all have representatives at the oougress. 'l'he chief purpose of the oouferenoe is to plan a oampaign foi the more rapid development of the states interested and suggest ways and means to stem tbe tide cf emigration from the Amer ican northwest to Canada. An elab orate program for tbe gatbeiius has boon prepared and in addition to Gov ernor West, O. 0. Chapman, seoretary of tbe Oregon Development league, Carl JR. Gray, president of the Spok ane. Portland and Seattle Railway, and "Bill" Hacloy are Oregonians who will deliver addresses. Lafferty says be will be elected con gressman. Iso one doubts it in the least. With his record, and the reoord fee own to the voters of bis district, it would seem that his nomination would be equivalent to his eleotion. Indeed there seems to be nothing to prevent his eleotion unless disgusted republic ans rally to the support of bia demo oratio opponent. Considerable road improvement is under way in tbe country tributary to Athena. While not of a permanent nature, the roads are being "fixed," nevertheless wbion is better than no fixing at all.

Curious Ceremonial of Taking a Child Into Shawnee Tribe. The adoption dance Is one of the ceremonial dances of the Shawnees. This Is guito different from any ono of the festive dances. They come many miles around and camp. Their faces are painted and tbeir persons decorated with beads. They dance all day and night with out entlnj. A bonfire Is built In' the center of the camp, and they dance around this. The Are Is kept burning about the samo all the time. This serves also as their light. The adoption dance Is rather quiet, moro so than the other dances. The women do most of the singing, saya a writer In the Red Man, and sing very low. They dance around the clr clo In twos. The men dance together In front and the women together In the rear. The two leaders In front are usually the ones who are adopting tho child. Thoy carry tin palls. In these are rubber balls, which bounce and keep tlmo with tho drummer. This Is all tho music they havo to dance by. If a largo crowd Is assembled they may have two or throe drums. At those dances good order Is kept. No drunkenness Is nllowed. Tho dance la In & grove, and If any ono does not belinvo decently they tie him to a tree for tho rest of tho dance. After the dance they have a great feast, which lasts all day, and visitors and all oth ers who attend the danco aro Invited to partake of the feast. MUCH OF LITTLE. A London Sinn That Seems Queer, but Is Entirely Correct. Tho stranger In any city half a hun dred years old, If ho knew nothing of the city's history, would learn from many of tho business signs that the second and third generations had suc ceeded to the business of father and grandfather. A Londoner who had strolled obout tho streets of Gotham with a New Yorker, who culled his attention to some of the signs of sons, agreed that In this respect New York was very like London, but In neither city was there any such slgu ns he saw In one of the old English towns a few hours' run from tho British capital. The sign reads: NOTICE TO CREDITORS. In the County Court of the State of Oregon for Umatilla County.

According to tho Londoner, iho first Llttlejohn and Little were partners. Tho former gave his first son his part ner's Christian inline. Llttlejohn's sec ond son was named for his mother's family, Doollttle. Tho three sons suc ceeded to thetr father's business; hence tho sign Is entirely correct, and the Londoner was right in saying that the successors had no Intention of being "funny" when they had tholr sign writ ten as it appears.
