THE STORY OF GORKY.

Maxim Gorky, though an exile
from his native land under death
sentence, is, nevertheless, the leader
today of that great mass of suffering
humanity known as the Russian peo-
pie. Before leaving America this
fall (where Gorky came asking for
bread and receiving an avalanche of
stones) he visited friends In the
Adlrondacks. II was up In these
autumn woods that John Spargo
met him and his son and Madam
Peshkoff. The leading article in the
November Craftsman tell OF the
meeting OF these two Comrades. !"
To read this article is to see the
man Gorky intimately. honestly and
sympathetlcally.
During the past summer the great
Russian noveliest and revolutionary
leader has lived, together with
Madam Peshkoff. their adopted son,
and n fellow exile. at Summer
Brook; Peshkoff. or Maxim Gorky,"
as he prefers to be called. working
under an intense strain, ANXIOUS
ONLY FOR RUSSIAN FREEDOM
and devoting every penny of his
earnings to that end. Probably the
best-paid living writer, drawing inn
mense royalties from his novels and
plays. he regards II as perfectly ma
tural for him TO turn over practically
the whole OF his income to the cause
for actively serving which both he
and his wife are exiles with the dread
death sentence recorded against
them.
Generally Gorky works from morn
ing tin night, taxing his powers OF
endurance to their uttermost limits.
CARELESS of life itself. II by It's wan
ton sacrifice the cause of Russian
freedom might be advanced. Some
times, indeed. the Ills OF his beloved
country would so oppress him that
literary work became impossible. In
such moods he would pace up and
down his room LIKE A BAFFLED
BEAST IN AN IRON CAGE. morose
and silent. his only relaxation being
the catching of flies and the liberia
tion. Standing by the window. grave
ly and gently catching dies OF the
large "blue-bottle" variety, he would
open the window and release them,
his face beaming with pleasure, and
shouting In triumph at their free and
rapid flight To liberty. The freedom
OF the flies was for him a symbol OF
the freedom for which the Russian
people are struggling against the
bureaucracy. and WHICH THEY
MUST INEVITABLY WIN. "see.
So shall Russia enjoy freedom!" he
cried exultingly. II ever a man lived
whose life was wholly consecrated to
an ideal. Maxim Gorky is such n
man-and his ideal is freedom for
Russian aud for all mankind.

HIGHEST TYPE OF CITIZENSHIP
(Daily sugene Guard.)

That Is a public-spirited act on
part of Hon. T, G. Hendricks In deed
Ing to the city. free OF cost, AZ acres
OF ground TO be used for public park
purposes. This liberallty on his part
has solved quickly and to the salts
faction of all the park problem that
has been so much discussed during
the past two or three years. and IL Is
but fitting that the recreation
grounds should bear the name OF
Hendricks Park" to remain for all
time a monument TO an honored citi-
zen of Eugene.
Mr. Hendricks has long been iden-
tilted with the business interests OF
Lane county, as a leader In all sub
stantial enterprises, and his Citizen
ship has been OF such a character
that his splendid gift to the city at
this time does not come as a surprise
to those who know him best. His
pride and interest In the beautiful city
ne mas helped 10 build and the quiet,
unobtrusive generosity that is one of
his marked characteristics, prompted
an act that will ever make his name
remembered and honored In Eugene,
destined always TO be leading city
OF this great and growing common
wealth.
Public parks are becoming more
and more recognized as necessities.
as population becomes congested,
and he who phovides them for the
people is as much philanthroplst
as the builder of churches and
schools and libraries. The man who
devotes a portion of his honestly ae-
0uired wealth to such purposes as
this affords an example OF the high
est type of citizenship In any COM
munity.

BOOKS FOR BOYS.

AS the holidays approach the de-
mand increases for good books for
boys to read.
Harding of st. Tlmothy's," Mr..
Arthur Stanwood Piers latest story
for boys, is evidently a pretty ac-
curate picture of life at one of the
great American boarding schools,
and IL has arounsed no little discus
slo mas to which one the author had
in mind. The following criticism
gives a fair idea of the enthusiastic
way in which the book has been re-
ceived: For a CLEAN, WHOLE
SOME. INTERESTING, NATURAL
choolboy story 1t would not be easy
to surpass this book. II is in every
way one of the best In its class.
There Is no brutal hazing, no school
bully, no grind, no questionable
slang, no priggish hero-all the con-
ventional setting of a generation ago
Yields to genuine description OF the
school life OF American boys who,
with the lmpulslve faults and follies
incident TO boy nature, are at heart
generous, honorable gentlemen. It
is book. any parent may put into

The point we wish to make in com
menting on the above is not that
there should be no appropriation for
the mouth of the Columbia, there
should be a large one,-but as SEN
ator for the whole state Mr.. Fulton
should realize that the government
would be justified IN OPENING AN
OTHER LARGE DEEP-sEA HAIR
BOR ON THE WEST COAST OF
OREGON, where actual results in a
deeper channel could be obtained
with a minimum expenditure.
The Astorian is edited by Mr.. N. J.
Judah, a man trained in the U. S
navy, who has sailed from many
ports, who takes broad views, and
who Is not afraid to tell the truth
about things that are vital.
A program for this state that
would say: Oregon will do her part
in securing appropriations for the
Columbia river. Oregon will even
give state aid II other states are will
ing to help. But oregon will protect
her commerce and her producers by
saying that ANOTHER HARBOR
SHALL BE OPENED on THE WEST
COAST, whether 1t be Coos Bay, va
quina or Tillamook.

lumbia. Oregon has great rivers
that need Improvement besides the
Columbia. Oregon has cities besides
Portland that need federal buildings.
There should be q new policy en-
tered upon by this state looking to
the development OF the whole state.
Merely securing appropriations for
the Columbia and its mouth SHOULD
BE THE BUSINESS OF THREE
STATES.
We wish to ask our readers TO read
following statement carefully, and
file II away for reference. and ask
them II they honestly believe that
$2,500,000 more should be spent on
the mouth of that river. and not a
dollar proposed for any other har-
Dor?
Historian, Nov. 4, 1906.)
"a prominent citizen OF this city
has made a pat and timely demon
stratlon OF the utility Cor rather the
non-utllty) OF the petty work at the
mouth or the Columbia river.
"He has taken the maps Issued
by the government In the matter OF
soundings on the bar, AT THREE
SPECIFIC PERIODS SINCE 1879.
and has carefully and accurately
shaded the recorded depths OF water

as maximum depth for marking.

greater depth than that. and these

"The map made In 1878 reveals
depth of 25 feet; that OF 1899, re-
cords 81 feet. and that Of 1906,
shows scant 24is feet, There Ia

PROVEN FAILURE. AND DEPRE-
GATES THE FURTHER APPRoPRI-

From this deduction. however,
the Morning Astorian differs broadly
and must Insist that Il would be
,manifestly unfair to seek so hopeless
a conclusion without tho benefit OF a
nnal and ample appropriation aud a
test based upon the actual compile
tion OF the system, as devised by the
government engineers. II. when that
is done the depths do not advance
with relative appropriateness. then
the harsher determination may be
applicable.
This paper Is convinced OF the
further necessity OF constant use
OF the government dredger Chinook

as Is now held by many In position

its removal at this time is most propi-
tious. for the wave of comedy that has
swept this country has had, at least,
the distinction of creating a demand
for a certain form of amusement that
for sometime has been on the wane.
THE Merry Wives of Windsor" aside
from being one of Shakespeare's most
brilliant comedies, affords the scenic
artist great opportunities in reproduc-
ing many of the favorite haunts of
England's sovereigns. The first act rep
resents Mr.. Pages home on the Wind
road with an exact reproduction of
Windsor castle in the distance. Next
there is the interior of the famous
Garter inn, a hostelry noted for it's
Bohemian gatherings in the days of
good Queen Bess. Ford's house, where
/ the celebrated "Buckbasket' episode
is enacted, is a faithful reproduction
made from sketches in the British
museum and the painting by Margaret
Howe of Ford's home. The last act
discloses Windsor forest with the
stately "Herne's oak" in the foreground.
AS Sir John Falstaff, Louis James, it
is said, has a character that fits him to
a nicety of the proverbial glove. Nellie
McHenry has been especially engaged
for the frollcsome Mistress Quickly,
and Norman Hackett the Jealous Mas
ter Ford. Aphie James plays the breezy
firtatious Mrs. Ford, and Charlotte
Lambert the sedate and stately Mrs.
Page. Lillian Lancaster will be the
sweet Anne Page, j. Arthur Young Pis-
: tol; Nathan Aronson, Mr.. Page; VIM.

the stirring story of the effort of Ru-
pert Of Hentzau to reinstate himself IN
the graces of King Rudolph V of Rur-
itania by procuring IA letter written by
Queen Flavia to the young Englishman,
Rudolph Rassendyll, may be expected
to furnish much entertainment for the

Hence, to offer this city fake goods,
