This much can be said for the head

an honest man. He must know that
his testimony is making hard travelling
for Reed Smoot, but he seems bent on

another six and from the third three

summer resort cannot be forecasted at
present. That the railroad will be
built from Yaquina down to the city
of Newport no one can doubt. and it
will be done in a few years for it
would open these beaches to fve times
as many people as now come here. and
would make it a winter as well as a
summer resort. The effect of the rail.
road extension would be to extend the
resort for five or ten miles north and
south on the beaches, for they are just
as fine as at Newport. The develop
ment of the great Inland Empire OF Or
egon and Washington will fill these
summer resorts with thousands of
people who will fee from a parched
and semi-arid climate. from the dust
and heat Of the valleys. from the hot
winds and sand storms east of the
mountains, and all we have to dread
and fear is the crowding and tumult,
and the extravaganza of the fashion
able watering place. But there are
compensations even for the intrusion
of civilization, for the man with the
rife and the boy with the twenty-five,
who kill every bird and animal in the
sea and on the land will disappear. If
there is ever bounty offered for the
destruction of seals and sea lions, let
us hope the summer resorts will be ex-
empted. The seals and the sea lion
and all the birds and animals should
be preserved and protected. At all
the California resorts the seals and
the sea lions are protected, and have
become the most valuable drawing
card to attract visitors. Why shall
not these animals be preserved for all
the people. for the enjoyment of the
children of the unborn generations?
In the same way the clans of the bay
and the baches, the Crabs and the
founder should be protected against
determination, as well as the trout of
the sportsman and the salmon of COM
merce. The families and the children
have a right to the benefit of these
common treasures and delicacies,
which man in his ruthless greed will
destroy unless checked by the wiser
arm of the law We welcome you as
educators to help us keep nature in

Action
The Flax Fibre Mill Would
Be Made Possible by
Public Owner
ship

Shall the city Of Salem undertake
public ownership of a lighting plant? ?
That is an open question before the
people of the Capital City?
The charter of Greater Salem
makes full provision for submitting to
popular vote a. proposition for the
city to acquire water power for sucn
purpose.
The matter does not depend on the
mayor or the council, but Is by direct
initiative of the people themselves.
The property owner and the business
man can undertake this matter.
The city has been offered number
of propositions, but the most direct
and buslnesslike offer came from the
Brick Mills property, with its i'm
mense and perpetual water power
fom the Santiam river.
There is an undeveloped water pow.
er in tnat property far greater than
the power already available. and the
power on the wheels is far in excess
of the needs Of the city.

Grafton of the same, from the stand
point of the city's interests

The Destructire starash.

Before members of the Delaware
Valley Naturalists Union, which held
its midwinter meeting in the Academy
of Natural Sciences. says a Philadel-
phia exchange, Professor E. G. Conk-
lin recently gave lively demonstrations
of how starfish eats an oyster.
Professor Conklin exhibited about a
dozen starfish, each engaged in differ
ent stages of the process of opening
and eating oysters. The process. he
said, consumes from twelve to fifteen
hours. As the starfish cannot get the
oyster into its mouth. it practically
turns its stomach inside out and into
the oyster she'll AS the oyster is TINS
digested outside the body of the star
nsn, the juices are sucked up into the
starfish's body. The starfish, Professor
Conklin said, is the most destructive
enemy of the oyster. = Washington

the Springfield mine in Ell Dorado County
from which in a short time he realized a
million and a half dollars. Then he ac-
quired joint ownership with w. S. Ho-
bart of the famous Plymouth property in
Amador County. which added $4,500.OOO to
his already large fortune.
After this he formed a partnership with
Charles D. Lane for the purpose of op-
Grating the Utica mine at Angels Camp
in Calaveras County. The property was
heavily encumbered when they took pos
session, but by their sound management
they made it clear off its own debt and
placed 1t on a splendidly paying basis.
Mr.. Hayward was interested in other min
ing properties besides the great ones
above mentioned and as a rule made
money out of all of them.
Mr.. Hayward was also associated with
d. o. Mills, P. B. Cornwall and Lloyd
Tevis in extensive coal mining and
timber land operations in the State
of Washington, thereby adding largely to
his fortune. They also owned large
tract Of land on the line of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. which yielded rich trib-
ute TO their enterprise and foresight
Alvinza Hayward from time to time ac
quired many valuable pieces of property
in San Francisco, most of which he owned
at the time of his death. He was one Of
the pioneers in the improvement of the
business section OF California street. The
splendid new Hayward building on the
corner of Montgomery and California
streets IS at once a monument to his en-
terprise and his confidence in the COM
mercial future of San Francisco.
He was largely interested in the Mar
ket Street Railway system and a large
holder of stocks and bonds of other i'm
portant California corporations. To him
the city of Oakland is in a great measure
indebted for her excellent water supply.
Mr.. Hayward for a number of years
prior to his death resided at his beauti-
full home in San Mateo, coming in to his
office in. the Hobart building every day
to attend to his large and numerous in
terests and working there just as If his
persistent efforts were required for the
support of a large family.
He was firm believer in spi-itualism
and would brook no discussion or dissent
with his views on the subject

How to Educate the BOY.

Not a few fathers hurt their sons
and damage the careers of those sons
by picking out careers for them. Train
up the boy in the way he should go,
and then let him choose his own work.
In the choice of a vocation, as in the
choice of a wife, every young man
should be left alone. If he is not
worthy of being left alone the parent
has grievously injured the boy in the
preceding decade of his life. These in
terpretations mean that 1 would not
educate my boy under a private tutor.
1 would educate my boy with boys,
although not entirely by boys. Boys
do, however, educate boys; but boy
who is trained alone is liable to fail
In adjusting himself to his member
shin in humanity. He is to become
a brother of the common lot. He there
fore should learn early how to adjust
himself to his fellows. Neither would
educate my son abroad; he is an
American boy. 1 shbuld be glad to
have him get all that is best from the
private school in Lausanne or Geneva,
but not for one instant would have
his ideas formed by the French master
or his methods by the German. A pri-
mary note in his character should be
the American, although note more
fundamental is the human. He is, as
a human boy, to be trained up for ser
vice in this great, interesting, new life
of our new world.-Harper's Weekly.

What Doctors Make.

There are about 200, 900 doctors in the
United States, or about one for every
$50 people. 1t has been approximately
estimated that the average yearly in
come of these men is $3.50, or that the
public in the country pays $780, ,00O
annually for medical attendance, omit
ting entirely the money spent for pat
ent medicines, which brings millions OF
dollars to manufacturers, or the
amounts spent for doctors prescrip-
tions or paid to quacks and commercial
doctors. The preparation for the prac-
tice of medicine that gives a man a
good standing in the profession means
an expense of, literally speaking, $4,000
for four years in a reputable medical
school, $1,000 for general expenses dur
ing two years hospital service, and
perhaps another $1,000 for setting up in
practice. A year or two in Europe Is
also help.-Leslie's Monthly.

Cost the House $4,000.

Members of the House are paying
dear for their own little expedition
against the carriages of assistant sec
retaries. They have been obliged to
vote themselves out of $145,000 mile
age, simply because they want to ap-
pear consistent, and the Senate, which
always enjoys seeing the House caught
by its own devices, is not likely to re-
store the appropriation. A year ago
the House played politics by inserting
in the immigration bill clause forbid
ding the sale of liquor in the Capitol.
They counted on the Senate dropping
the amendment, as had been done
more than once in similar circum-
stances. But the Senate tired of the
game and let the amendment stay. 1t
was Lands of Indiana who moved the
liquor amendment and it was Lands
who made the motion to cut off the
assistant secretaries salaries.-New

Loyal to the Mikado.

1t is tolerably certain that but for
the veneration in which the Emperor
is held Japan would long ago have been
at war with Russia, or there would
have been a revolution In the country.
Happily. the intense patriotism of the
people is kept in check by rever-
ence for the ruling sovereign which II
is scarcely possible for the Western
mind to understand. The Japanese peo-
pie, as George Lynch pointed out the
other day, are not religious in a con-
ventional sense. Their religion takes
the form of a childlike belief in the
"son of heaven" If the Mikado were
to issue decree tomorrow that all
the Russian demands should be con-
ceded, the nation would acquiesce,
though many would commit suicide.
just as happened when japan was rob-
bed of the fruits of her victory over
China.-London Chronicle.

Alvinza Hayward, mining king, finan-
cier and one of the best known of San
Franciscos pioneer citizens. passed
peacefully away at 4:15 o'clock yester-
day afternoon at the residence of
Charles D. Lane, on Clay street.
Paralysis, extending to the heart and
lungs, was the immediate cause of the
aged capitalists demise. At the bedside
when he passed away were Charles D.
Lane and Drs. Arnold and Hazelhurst-
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the funeral.
Alvinza Hayward was born in the State
of Vermont in 1921. His youth was un-
eventful and after leaving school he be-
gan the study of law. When still a very
young man he left his native State and
settled down to the practice of his pro-
fession in Canton, n. Y. After a time,
however, he went farther west. to Michi-
gan, where he engaged in lead mining
and the lumber business with good flnan-
cial results.
California interested him greatly and as
soon as he could get his Michigan in
terests in proper shape he started for
California, arriving here IN 1850.
He first engaged in placer mining. but
later. in 1852. acquired half ownership of
a gold quartz mine, the Eureka in ANA
dor County. which. under his, personal
management. made him and his part
ner very wealthy men in a few years. He
disposed of that property to follow the
stream of wealth seekers TO the fabulous
ly rich lodes of Nevada and. associated
with John p. Jones, he operated on the
ComstOck with much success, until
health considerations compelled him 10
withdraw for time at least from active
work. He was then already a million
aire several times over
He remained inactive for about ten
years, when. the state of his health per-
mitting, his restless spirit drove him
again into the mining regions.
He did not go back to the Comstock
but went again TO Amador and FL Do
rado counties, with the prestige of his
former successes there as an assurance
for the future. He bought and operated
