A Copper With a History.
e Portland Oregonian.

rrom tne -Portiand Oregonian.
F. w. Pettygrove, son of F. w. Petty
grove. one OF the founders of Portland. and
the man who named the city. has in his
possession the copper cent with which HIS
father won the right TO select the name He
is commercial traveller for a. San Fran
cisco house. and naturally sets great store
by this cent, which he has shown to many
here on his visits to this city Some of his
friends have besought him to turn this cent
over to the Oregon Historical Society to be
preserved. but he has not been able to
make up his mind to do this. George H.
Hines, secretary of the society, has been
advised to wrestle with Mr. Pettygrove
and 1t is not unlikely that he may succeed
In securing this historical coin. Mr.. Petty
grove has also In his possession the Bible
used on the occasion of the first sermon
ever preached In Portland, which, with the
cent, was presented to him by his father as
a keepsake.
1t was in the summer of 1915 that A. l..
Lovejoy and f. w. Pettygrove, who owned
the claim which Portland was located
employed Thomas A. Brown to survey their
property and lay 1t off into streets. blocks
and lots, and when he had completed the
plot the proprietors undertook to choose a
name for the newly born city. Mr.. Love-
joy desired to call 1t Boston In honor of
the capital of his native state. Mr.. Petty
grove contended that Portland was more
appropriate, as it was at the head of navi-
CATION and the port where would land all
the freight intended for the valley of the
Willamette and all the southern produce
of the territory. In order to decide the
question it was proposed by Mr.. Pettygrove
to toss copper cent. which he had brought
with him as a souvenir of his eastern home.
This was agreed to by Mr.. Lovejoy The
cent was tossed. and. Mr.. Pettygrove prov
ing the winner. Portland was adopted as
the name of the embryo city.

Seed is Natures Gem.
From Outing.


In natures great treasure house the seed
is the one priceless gem. Compared to II,
the great deposits of coal. the mines of
silver and gold and of diamonds and prec-
ieus stones are as nothing. Man counts his
wealth in dollars and cents. in mining and
railroad shares. and in houses and lands:
while his primal necessities are limited 20
food and clothing. Without these all other
tokens of aff1uence are void. These indeed
are the sources of true wealth. and the
grass of the field supplies them all directly
or indirectly.
The cereal grains-wheat, rye, oats. bar
ley rice and Indian corn-which are the
geeds of true grasses are convertible d.
rectly into food. The succulent leaves and
culm of the wild grasses furnish susrenanee
to millions of cattle. sheep and goats. and
are transformed by them into flesh. milk.
wool and hides: thus indirectly providing
meat and clothing. They also protect the
soil from flood and drought and landI,lde.
Sending their fibrous roots down among the
shifting sands of the seashore. they bind
the unstable particles into mass So dense
as to check the erosion of the-waves. Thus
grass, the synonym of frailty, is able to
raise its tiny green scepter against the de-
structive power of the elements.

Conservation Of Medicinal Plants.

The rapid destruction Of the forests OF
the United States, especially in the eastern
portions, with the consequent Interference
with the water supply change In climate.
etc, has for some years been a matter OF
serious concern to the thoughtful citizen.
emphasizes an aspect of this question that
Is of particular interest to the medical pro-
fession This writer states that If the pres
ent rate of gathering of native herbs and
drugs continues for ten years il Is probable
that our principal medicinal plants will be
well-nigh eXterminated unless measures are
taken either to conserve or cultivate them.
Inquiries indicate that some of our we'll
known plants are already nearly extermi-
mated. Among these are spigelia, serpen-
taria, senega and cypripedium. The posi-
bility of improving plants by selection and
cultivation, as has been done with coca and
cinchona, is an incentive to their study. but
of greater Importance is a knowledge OF
the peculiar requirements of each, in order
that they may be cultivated. If this should
be necessary to insure their perpetuity.
The following classification is given: Gull
tivated medicinal plants in the United
States, 100; wild indigenous neutralized.
IT'S; foreign plants that might be cultivated,
So; foreign plants uncertain as to cultiva-
ton, IS. This shows that approximately
three-fourths of all medicinal plants are
growing wild or in cultivation in this coun-
try, and that of the remaining one-fourth
probably one-half could be grown here
The article In question is very pertinent
and timely and should be brought to the
attention of not only physicians. but also
nurserymen and the laity, who primarily
must take the matter in hand.

what 1 am about to relate is not told in
order to emphasize the need of politeness
on the grounds of mere policy. but rather
to show that an ungentlemanly action is
pretty sure to act as a boomerang. Some
years ago a reporter called on a man of
wealth and prominence, whom / will call

his cheek and burning desire in his heart
to thrash the discourteous Mr.. Blank.
Several years passed. and Mr.. Blank was
a candidate for high municipal office
Meanwhile, the reporter had been made po-
opposite to those of Mr.. Blank. In that
capacity he again called on Mr.. Blank, and
found him suave and silky. The editor did
not forget the torn card. The incident

Miss Glasgow's "Deliverance" is to the
Virginia tobacco region. There is not
much likeness between the books on the
score of structure, but they are strongly
in unison in the atmosphere of outdoor
work and of wrestling livelihood from
the soil which pervades both. Miss Glas-
COWS story is done broadly on a large
canvas, with full, sweeping strokes, and
yet much detail. The people are all alive
and vivid. The emotions, at times crude
and the passions strong, are recognizab BILE
as elementary factors in the lives of al
most any community. The scene of the
story is, as stated. in the Virginia tobacco
fields, and the time within the last twenty
years, the end coming fairly close to the
present. The civil war has passed. and
left Virginia strewn with wrecks of former
