KEPT IN A BARN Five YEARS
Child of Wealthy Parents Confined in
"A Stall.

Twelve year old Margaret Stumpf
daughter OF William Stumpf, q
wealthy street railway man and bank
or of Lincoln, Neb., was discovered by
the police In her fathers stable, where
she had been confined for Ave years
As a child her mind had been weak
and rather than have her around the
house her parents had taken this
means Of putting her out Of the way,
None Of the neighbors knew that
the stumpfs had daughter, so closely
was their secret guarded. When the
police entered the barn the girl was
seated on the straw In one Of the stalls
without a particle Of clothing ON. II
was explained by her father that she
could not be made 10 wear clothes. In
her long solitary confinement she has
grown TO the size Of a full grown wo.
man, but her hands and face are ali,
normally small. She has completely
lost the power OF conversation, and
when she tries to talk is only able to
make unintelligible grunts.
When the police entered her prison
she greeted them with loud cry like
Wild animal Before she was placed
In shs prison the girl used to amuse
herself 'hy tearing her clothing from
her hack, and II permitted, would
treat other members OF the family In
the same way. She was taken in
charge by the police matron, who dis.
covered that she had no knowledge OF
how 60 feed herself. Arrangements
are being made TO have her taken TO
tho home for the feeble minded.

value of the Home Paper.

Talking with Journal reporter, a
Salem business man admitted the value
Of the home paper. "I would rather
pay clerk in my store 10 per cent ad.

the local papers He is better posted
tabout the trade and the inducements
offered by my competitions. He knows
the people better-knows their inter,
ests and prejudices, and weak points
and sore points, and can handle each
customer better. He can get the two
local papers for the cost of one Port
land or San Francisco paper, and he be-
comes identified with the local inter.
ests. The local papers are always in.
clined to speak hopefully of our city's
future, and of the crops notice some
of the Portland papers report it every
time some one says some crop is short.
We have 10 contend with the atmos-
phere thus created in the minds of our

cH1oAao's DAYS NUMBERED.
Sinking of Its Site Will Put 1t Under
Water by the Year 5404.

Professor G. X. Gilbert, of thu
United States geological survey, while
in Chicago recently, said:
"When / made an assertion that
the ground on which Chicago now
stands would some day be covered by
water, and that boats probably would
sail on level perhaps many feet
above where people now walk on the
streets, was backed up by scientific
reasons.
Investigation shows that the level
of Lake Michigan is increasing in
height at the rate of about eight
Inches in century This is not due
to an increasing quantity of water,
but TO a lowering of the hand. There
is a tendency of the land to sink to-
ward the Mississippi valley. AS the
lake level at Buffalo is from 90 to 80
feet lower than it is here, it is esti-
mated that it would take $500 years
for the land between here and the
Mississippi river to sink sufficiently
to start the flow of the lakes in the
direction opposite to that which it
now takes. When that time arrives
Niagara Falls will be dry"

Many Thousands of Dollars
Realized From This Years
Crop

About $4,000 worth of ehittin
pasesd through Corvallis this seasoI
for the markets Of the world, says th,
Corvallis Times. Thirty-three earloadi
were shipped from Corvallis, and a few
cars are yet on hand. A dozen or II
cars came over from Lincoln county
making the total shipments from the
vicinity about so ears. Each car con
tanned 10 tons or 10000 pounds Of dried
bark. The aggregate already shipped
from Corvallis, including the Alsea
pool is 33 ear, $50 tons, 100000 pounds,
worth $4,000, at cents per pound.
The aggregate value was a triAe more,
for II is probable that the price aver,
aged s5.10 per 100 to the peeler. The
amount is very large in comparison with
former years. Had chittim remained at
last years sky-high prices, the amount
paid out In Benton county alone for
bark would have been $l5O,00O, not
counting the increased amount that
would have been hurried into the mar.
ket had prices remained in the fancy
notch.
The price now is only Az cents, and
dealers are hunting It at that figure. |
II is clpimed that the patent medicine
house and chemists have all they want
for tho present, and that the Eastern
and foreign demand has been supplied.
Some Of the dealers are said to have
been caught with small stocks Of bark
on hand that they cannot now dispose
Of for what they paid for it. IL is also
a fact that there are other bark own.
efs who failed TO take advantage of the
market at the right time.
Two different parties have lots Of
about three cars each, and IL is said
that at one time they refused an offer

lis offer Of $685.. AT the present price
Of bark, the failure to sell represented
q handsome figure. The Skaters, who
cleared up about $1,000 or upwards on
hittim gathered on the jackson place
last year, have eight tons of bark on
hand now, nearly carload, for which
vafious good figures have been offered.
Some Of those who are holding, how

Congregational Council.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct 13.-The tri,
ennial session Of the national council
of the Congregational churches of the
United States opened a six days sesl
sion in the Plymouth Congregational
church today. About 800 delegates
were present at the call to order by
the Rev. Amory II. Bradford, d. D.,
of Montclair, N. j., moderator.
The address of the retiring modera-
tor, the appointment of committees
and other business of a perfunctory
nature occupied the greater part of
the opening session.
Important questions confronting
the Congregational church are slated
for consideration at the present meet
ing of the national council. The coun.
ell is not legislative body, yet its
advice is followed by the churches in
quite as large measure, Ms are the laws
obeyed that are enacted by the official
bodies among other denominations.
The matter of most popular interest is
the proposed union of the Congrega.
tional, Methodist Protestant and
United Brethren bodies. The national
council represents the largest of the
three bodies, and its action will carry
great weight. Preliminaries of the
union have been arranged. A union
of Methodist Protestant and United
Brethren bodies seems almost certain.
but il is not felt to be 40 sure that
Congregationalists can bring them.
selves into line. The idea among the
leaders Of the denomination now here
seems to be cooperation, rather than
consolidation
Union on some working lines, as
interests and few minor
points, is about all that Congregational
leaders look for this year. Many
think the present council will do well
II II secures cooperation in any real
sense
The present gathering is historic in |
one sense, in that for the frst time
the several benevolent and auxiliary
societies Of the church are meeting in |

SLED

| j. d. Thorp, a Klondike and Nom'
pioneer, who has spent several years il
both districts, announces that he hal
invented motor sled, which is capable
of making 80 miles an hour over soft
snow or ice. Thorp invented his ma.
chine while putting in the winter of
1903 and 1904 in the vicinity Of Nome,
and says he has made repeated trials
with sleds, all Of which turned out in
the most successful manner.
The sled is constructed with four
iron wheels, about three feet in diane
ter. Attached to the wheels are eight
paddles set at an angle, in order to
pack the snow thoroughly by the time
full pressure is brought to bear on them
in propelling the sled along. These
paddles are fitted with several large
spikes, which prevent them from slip
ping when the sled is travelling over ice
or hard snow, and are in shape much
like the ordinary snowshoe. The strain
on the wheels is relieved a spring at.
tachment on which the axles are fast.
ened. The springs are securely held in
an iron frame set in an upright position
on the top of the frame. The sled is
propelled by a four or FIVE horse power
gasoline engine, and is capable Of car.
rying from 1000 to 1900 pounds of |

The steering apparatus of the con
.rivance consists of a steel blade, which
tets as a rudder and also as n brake
when going down grade. Thorp has

Captain Forbes Receives Letter from
 Captain Falkuer.
 Captain A. c. Forbes, who gave a handsome piano to the Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek, has received the follow ing letter from Captain J. M. Falkner:
 Montgomery, February 16, 1904. Captain A., e. Forbes. Montgomery, Ala:
 Dear Captain:
 "Whene'er a noble deed is wrought, . Whene'er is spoken a noble thought,
 Our hearts in glad surprise
 To higher levels rise."
 "The noble deed has indeed been wrought, my friend, and could you have witnessed, as I did, the rapt expressions upon the faces of the old soldiers as the "concord of sweet sounds'' echoed through the Bob Taylor auditorium" at Mountain Creek, on last Sunday, you would have been assured that more than one heart has reached a higher level; that all discords for the time. at least, had been cast to the winds, and that peace, which only music can bring, reign ed supreme.
 Could there be & greater testimony to the thorough appreciation of your gift than this?
 Tn behalf of the old soldiers, send you heartfelt thanks for the handsome piano, which you donated to the Home, For myself, will say that just as the gift without the giver is bare, so this gift accompanied by the good will of the giver is priceless. Your friend,
 "J. M. Falkner, Chairman Committee Ways and Means and Building Committee.'

can be seen in April and May near by and the scenery is grand. A stream runs down the mountain and last year 1t wash ed away the sacred bridge and killed l thousands of people. No one was ever al- lowed to cross over this sacred bridge ex- cept the Emperor and his family. It was
 made of red laquer and cost thousands of dollars. The most beautiful temples are
 found at Nikko and pilgrims make jour-
 ney every year from all parts of Japan to
 worship the gods there. The religion is
 Buddah and the people have been made
 poor giving money.
 At Kamakura is one of the noted sights in Japan. This is a bronze statue 90 feet high. To give you some idea of the size, two men can sit on the thumb with ease. The eyes are of gold and measure three feet.
 'The fastest trains in Japan run about twenty-four miles per hour. The day coaches are all built according to Euro pean style, but the sleeping cars are of American make and are very comfortable. The roadbed is good, but the track is nar- row gauge. One feature especially noted along the route is the amount of tunnel cut through the mountains. and instead of one tunnel for two tracks, in every in- stance there are two cut causing great amount of unnecessary engineering. T spent three weeks in the Land of Flowers and sailed from Kobe the first of July. After a five days voyage arr rived in Shanghai, the most prosperous city in the Far East. My stay was only two days, but that was long enough for me to fall completely in love with the place. Bubhling Wells Road, one of the streets. is the prettiest drive ever saw, One day and half out from Shanghai VIC noticed that the ocean was becoming muddy, this being caused by the Yangtse Kiang river. Shanghai Is fifteen miles up this river and is reached by small boats. I took great deal of pleasure in study Ing the character of the Chinese in one of their cities. The Chinese are not so bad. I have more respect for them now than ever before. They are honest and can be relied on.
 After a six days sail we arrived in Manila and thus ended a voyage filled with pleasure and study"
