Civic Improvement.
The lollowiii letter which is
heiiifj untiled out by Slate School
Superintendent Alderman has a
local application and the sues
tiou contained therein might he
profitably followed in Albany:
"In every (own and city there are
many vacant lots growing up to
weeds that might just as well be pro
ducing garden anil flowers, thus ad
ding beauty and utiliiy to the city in
stead of being an eye sore. Many of
these lots are owned by uon-resideuls
and others who would be glad to do
nale the use of them to the children.
Almost every town or community has
its Parent-Teachers' Circle, civic
board, and perhaps oilier organiza
tions, and they and the school board
should get together and from their
membership appoint a committee,
whose duly it shall be to secure the
use of them (or the children ami ar
range to have llieiu plowed and fenc
ed, when necessary. Ill appointing
these committees do not overlook the
ladies, for in our experience we have
loiind llieiu adepts at such work. It
would also be llieir duly to plan and
manage the local conlesls, provide
prizes for same and to select exhibits
to be forwarded to the Stale hair, and
to show the children how to pack,
mark, eliler and ship Iheni. The tea
cher is not always iiialified to do this
wink, and has about all he can do be
side. Then when school closes ami
perhaps the teacher leaves the town
the children need help and encourage
ment which this committee can give.
"In every town and city are many
children who have little- or nolhing to
do Hillside of school hours. No heal
thy child call he idle, and without
some direction of his activities and
some provision of a proper avenue
through which to vent them, they arc
apt to he wasted. It is not so much
the fault of ihese children if they get
into mischief and form hahils of idle
ness, and possibly viciousness, as il
is the faull of parents, guardians and
others tor not providing interesting
and pro'lilable employment for them.
To aid in providing this cmplovment
and making it attractive and profitable
is the object of tile industrial contest
movement inaugurated last year. To
make this a pertect success it must
have the cooperation of parents,
teachers, school hoards anil all puldie
spirited citizens, and we know of no
better way in which they can help
than as above suggested. Try il. Let
the teacher o'r president of the Par
ent Teachers' Circle call a meeting at
once, etfect an organization and re
port to the oflicc of Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Salem, Oregon, in
order that he can put ou on Ins mail
ing lit for bulletin.,, etc., and assist
you in every way possible."
China Suppressing Opium Habit.
The establishment of the Chinese
Wepuhlic has led many occidentals
to eliaum' their opinion ns to the
lethargy and inertia which they sup
posed characteristic of the inhab
itants of the celestial empire. There

to China by 10 per cent every year
until the traffic had ceased. On her
part China agreed to diminish her
own production in a corresponding
way. .Measures were to be taken to
reduce the growth of opium in Chi
na 10 per cent each year until at
the end of ten years no more would
be raised. With supplies from In
dia cut off and the home crop re
duced and eventually suppressed
altogether, the opium habit must
necessarily disappear. The results
accomplished thus far are promis
ing. Travelers report that it is no
longer common to see men smok
ing opium at their own doors. Even
two years after the edict, those who
smoked did so in secret. The edict
is being enforced. The agricultural
map of China shows after five years
that there has been an actual reduc
tion of oO per cent in production of
opium. There has been as great a
reduction in its use. All the world
will watch with interest this other
awakening of China, and the orien
tal method of solving a great social
question. In the west we have our
social problems of a similar nature
and China's example may prove il
luminating and helpful.
The West Demands Recognition.
During the history of the United
States up to the present time, there
have been 339 appointments to cab
inet positions, and 168 of these have
been from five states: New York,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Virginia, New York heading
the list with 43. The Pacific states
have had only five and the Inter-
mountain states (Colorado) one. In
all there have been only 28 appoint
ed from west of the Mississippi
river, of which 18 were from Mis
souri and Iowa. Oregon has had
but one cabinet officer, George 1 1.
Williams, attorney general, in 1871.
And it is time she is again recog
nized. The West is claiming the
secretaryship of the Interior, and
statistics regarding that office may
be interesting. It appears that of
27 appointees 18 have been east of
the Mississippi and nine west, and
of these nine from the west, seven
were from Missouri and Iowa, leav
ing (e from Washington and one
front Colorado.
The secretaries of the interior
have almost invariably been law
yers. Since .the appointment of
Carl Schurz in 1877 there has been
hut one that was not a lawyer, and
that was David K. Francis. '
The West has never had any real
control over the Department of the
Interior. The bureau chiefs at the
present time are without exception
from Kastern states. There is one
from Iowa and two from Kansas,
and that is as much influence as the
West has in the department. The
West should demand not only a
western secretary of the interior,
but that all the bureaus he headed
by westerners.

luctant in answering some of the
questions directed at her by the at
torneys and it was several times dur
ing the progress of the trial this morn
ing, necessary to wait for short in
tervals for the witness to answer.
The girl, while evidently suffering
much embarrassment, due largely to
tne tact that everybody in the crowd
ed courtroom was gazing at her, toid
of her relations with Osborne and re
cited several occasions during t he
months of May. and June last year
when she had accompanied him on
various occasions.
The courtroom was crowded this

and has been filled to its capacity
during the entire day. Many witness
es from Shelhtirn are in attendance at
the trial today and will be examined
this afternoon, being sillejioeuacd here

to complete and a night session may
be held this evening before all the evi
dence will be in. Eollowing the com
pletion of this case the present ad
journed term of court will be finished
there being no further cases on the
docket.
1 oniorrow morning several local

50-YEAR OLD ORCHARD IS
PRODUCING FINE FRUIT YET
Trees Planted in 1857 By A. G.
Marshall Growing Choice
Apples in 1913.
Capt. Frank Mr. Powell of this city
recently visited an orchard. seven
miles east of this city, which was
planted in 1857 by-his wife's father.
A. G. Marshall.
Capt. Powell states that the orchard
is still producing fine apples of beau
tiful color and delicious flavor, al
though the trees were planted fifty
six years ago. There are several dif
ferent varieties of apples in the or
chard including Baldwins, Spitzen
bcrgs and Bellflowers. The trees were
bought at the Oregon City nursery
which was the only one near here
then.
In sneaking of the ranch unon which
the orchard is located, Capt. Powell
also tells an interesting and amusiil"
story concerning a large balm tree
wiiicn is located near the tarmhouse
on the oldi Marshall homestead. He
said that over fifty years ago, A. G.
Marshall who then lived upon the
place, was driving a lazy mule near
his home one day and in order to en
courage the animal to make better
time, he broke a small limb from a
tree beneath which he was passing.
When he arrived home, Mr. Mar
shall rode the mule to the watering
trough where he discarded his whip,
dropping the switch to the ground
where it fell in the mud.
The twig became covered with mud
ami later sprouted. To'day the switch
which Marshall used to encourage his
mule, has grown to be a large and
beautiful tree and is located in the
cry spot where the twig was dropped
many years ago.
NEW PLAT OF CITY IS

A. C. Jenkins Will Complete the
Map of City Showing All Ad
ditions and Townsite.
Th;it a modern and up-to-date pint
of the city of Uhany will soon be
completed ami ready for distribution,
was the statement made this morn
ing by Architect A. C. Jenkins of this
city. .
The new map will show every
street, block and lot as the same are
platted and also all of the additions
to the original townsite.
The work of preparing the map is
in hartfe of O. E. Perry who is be
ing assisted by Chas. Leonard. They
have been working on the new map
for some time and expect to have it
completed within the next two weeks.
At the present time there is no up

SAINT PATRICKS DAY
MUST BE POSTPONED
No Celebration Will Be Held
This Year; Church Rules Will
Not Permit Celebration.
There will be no celebration on St.
Patrick's day this year for the fourth
time since 1800 and the Jast time in
the twentieth century.
Hibernians will be "unable to cele
brute the annual feast day of their
native country, but will have to con
tent themselves that this will be the
last time that they or their descend
ents will have to forego the hilarity
which should be theirs on March 17.
It is all because the annual feast d;y
comes on the second day of holy week,
and the Catholic church rules that all
feasts shall be postponed or cancelled
if they fall in the, week before Easter.
There have been only three times in
the past that the celebration of St.
Patrick's day was suspended on ac
count of holv week. Thev were in
1818. when Kaster fell on March 2X
the earliest date on which it can fall:
in 1845 and 1856, when it came on
March 2, the same date as this year.
Calculators have figured Kaster dates
until the year JtXM), but they have
found no other year in which" Easter
will come so early as to keep the
Irish born from sinjjini; the praises of
their patron saint.

i SOLD 5-POUND NOTES
FOR A PENNY A PIECE
A British Conuredian Peddles
Genuine Currency on Streets
'of London for Wager.
London, Feb. 7. A well known
comedian for several hours yesterday
stood in busy sections of London and
offered for sale genuine five pound
notes tor a penny each, and disposed
of only two.
Unshaven and unkempt, he first
stood outside the Grand hotel in Traf
algar square, shouting "Five pound
notes, a penny each!" His wares were
displayed on a tray in front of him.
People passed in dozens, but only
gave him knowing looks and went
their way.
Presently a well dressed man, ac
companied by two ladies, bought one,
asking if they were forgeries. The
assurance that they were not came
with such sincerity that he decided to
buy two, but was told that the sale
was limited to one to each person.
He took the note across the street to
an agency and to his amazement, gold
was handed to him in exchange for
the paper.
Later, ano'thcr lucky sneculator
bought one of the notes outside a
Piccadilly hotel, but at numerous oth
er places where the stand was set up
there were no purchasers.
In an interview, the comedian said
that the affair was the result of a
waeer with a friend, that he couldn't
sell one in 20 minutes. The comedian
lost the bet.
