REcAUsEiT IS THANKSGIVING.
People Think of Charity and Here
IS WorthylC Cause.

- q w "a lay 0aS~'
A Int over FL years ago &
few of oar representative citizens
saw y great need of some or
ganiz .tion for the care and pro-
tection of dependent children and
also to aid children who had COM
mitted their first ofense against
the lawrence the organization
of boys and girls Aid Society
of Oregon. At that time it was
a chalita nle organization depend
ent entirely upon the generosi y
of the public for its support.
Since that time, however, it has
grown rapidly and its work has
commended itself to the charit-
able public and to the state offici-
ais, and today it is not only
assisted by private subscriptions
but by state and county appro-
priations. 1t is. however, con-
Quoted on a very economical
basis and its total expenditures
each year do not exceed $40, 900.
It's methods are to place de-
pendent and neglected children
in family homes where they will
receives parents care and at
tention, and in order to insure
this. visitors are kept on the road
the entire time, and besides
which at this time there is organ
lied at many of the county seats
an advisory board composed of
representative citizens who as
sist the society in its work of aid
and supervision over its wards
placed out in homes. In this
county Prof. 6. w. Denman is
the president and Mrs J. H. Har-
ris is secretary.
From January 1st to Novem-
ber 1st, 1906, period of ten
months, the society has received
326 children, or an average of
about 32 per month. These
children were received from the
following counties: B .ker, Ben
ton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Crook,
Douglas, Grant Lane, Marion,
Multnomah, Umatilla, Union,
Wasco, Washington, Wallowa
and Yamhill.
Many of the children CON-
mitted have sad histories, and if
there is any worthy cause for
charity the boys and girls Aid
Society should certainly appeal
to every person who has the well
fare of little children at heart.
The public schools throughout
the state have heretofore been of
great assistance and it is sincerely
hoped that they will do their best
this year. In addition to this,
any person who will send trif1e
in money, provisions, vegetables,
or in fact anything and every
thing that would be useful in
a household, will receive the
gratitude of the management.

Those who wish to s-nd money,
or lend their aid in anyway
should apply to the Corvallis
advisory board members mention
ed above. 1t certainly is a worthy
cause and one in which Benton
county is directly interested,
since some of the inmates of the
home were taken there from this
county and given a home, care
and protection in an hour of
need.

MANY CHINESE SNUGGlED N
immigration Authorities Studying
the System.
Newfoundland and Canada fine Places
From Which Cinnamon Are Sent
Across the Borfier-Bjg Traffic.

Washington, D. .-NewsoundIand
as base Of operations for smng-
Cling Chinese into the United STATES,
in violation of the immigration laws,
is to have the special attention OF the
immigration authorities. III view of
the capture of the Cinnamon brought
into Providence on the schooner
Frolic the other day.
For several months past the imnli-
grafton officials have had reason to
believe that smugglers OF Chinese
were unusually busy at that noint,
and that the Asiaties were being
brought there on the theory that
they could thus be sneaked into the
United States with greater ease than
elsewhere, since the American Off
cials along the Canadian land border
have proved themselves SO vigilant
and since Canada has made the head
tax or every Chinaman brought into
that country $500.
Commissioner-Gensra1 Sargent re-
CARDS the capture Of the Cinnamon
as an important piece OF work, and
is prepared to direct q most rigid in
yestigation of the circumstances in
connection with their smuggling in.
Though the bureau has had long eX-
perience with the ways that are
dark" of the Chinese in their at
tempts to get into the United States
without proper authorization, and
has intercepted many Of them both
on the Northern and Southern, bor-
ders in all sorts of disguises, the re-
cent attempt of bringing them in on
a yacht to New England ports is re-
garded as one of the most daring eff
forts to circumVent the law ever
made.
The department is anxious to de-
termine whether the expedition of the
Frolic is part of we'll organized 'sys-
tenn by which Newfoundland is used
rs a centre Of activities for shipping
Cinnamon into the United States in
large numbers, and if so to prevent
any future efforts Of the kind. Most
of the attempts to smuggle in Chi
nese have been made on the Pacific
coast Of Canada, where the officials
had great trouble in breaking up the
trade, but succeeded in doing so by
alertness on the part OF the agents
and by an arrangement with the
steamship companies which requires
that Chinese brought to Vancouver
destined for the United States must
be brought under bond and deliv-
cred to immigration officers at the
norts of entry. There is reason to
believe that the Cinnamon On the
Frolic were brought from Liverpool
across the Atlantic instead Of by the
Pacific route, and in this case it is
believed all arrangement may be dis
closed whereby regular shipments
are being made to Newfoundland
with smugglers operating from that
point IS a source OF supply.

NO HOPE FOR THE LUTIN.
Efforts to Rescue Men in Sunkcn
Submarine Fruitless.

Biserta, Tunis.-The French sub
marine Lutin still lies at the bottom
of the sea three miles from this port,
and the officers engaged in the sal
wage work express the certainty that
all the fourteen members of the crew
have perished. Men on board the
tug Ishkul, which conveyed the Lutin
on her last voyage, say that the sub
marine plunged twice successfully,
and that after she had gone down for
the third time her bow showed twice
above the surface Of the water before
she finally disappeared. This leads
to the belief that the catastrophe re-
suited from a sudden leak at the
stern. The water probably rushed
in and overturned the accumulators.
This would have caused deadly fumes
from the acids.
Admiral Bellue is uncertain wheth-
e. the salvagers have really located
the Lutin or not Divershave reached
the bottom, but owing to the rough
ness of the sea they were unable to
remain below long enough to make
thorough investigation. Fourteen
salvage vessels now form a Gordon
around the spot where the Lutin went
down. The divers descend in relays,
and are displaying untiring energy
All their endeavors, however, to To-
cate the Lutin, so as to permit the
use of the powerful lifting apparatus,
have been in vain.
