! ward.
First class companies, such as this
one, do not take other than expert
enced girls. In order to be fitted for
big chorus. one must be trained in
some of the smaller troupes. A girl
is generally attracted by the salary
paid her in the chorus, and then fire.
quently there is an opportunity to get
part in the play. In spite of the
general Impression to the contrary,
the salaries paid in this business are
larger than can be earned at almost
any other honorable occupation girl
may take up. In addition to that
there is a certain fascination about
stage life that appeals to one, and
for the girl that enjoys travel, that is
another inducement to stay on the
stage"
Chorus girls hardly, II ever, secure
their positions from the management
of the company by which they are
employed. direct. There are booking
agencies in New York and other cities
that supply the girls to shows. A
girl registers with the agency, gives
her experience and personal descrip-
ton. and is usually required to send
photograph of her self. A manager
gives an order to the agent for as
many girls as he needs. and If there
are any on the list that have rep
utations for special ability, he can
make particular selections. During
the season when a vacancy occurs, he
sends to the agency to supply him
with additional girls. The agent gen.
orally eSacts fee from both the girl
and the manager.

hard working chorus girl considera-

comes from how she gets there. what
she does and so forth. The chorus is
not supposed to receive any attention
from the audience. They are usually
overshadowed by the performers in
the star cast. and are used mostly to
fill in.
But to answer the question
chorus girls do come from all walks
of life, but are not the failures from

are from New York City and sur

THE OREGON PLAN"

Illinois citizens would do we'll tC
give consideration to the "Oregor
plan" of enabling voters to express Oh
election day their preference for United
States senator. Under the Illinois
direct-primaIy law the party voter
henoeforth will be permitted at pri.
mary elections to indicate his choice
among the different candidates of his
party. The Oregon plan goes further,
giving the voter on election day the
right of choice among the candidates
of all parties.
Oregon held its state election last
Monday and the Republicans were
generally successful. The legislature
will be- largely republican on joint
ballot. Under ordinary circumstances
this would be expected to insure the
election of republican as United
States senator. AT Mondays election,
however, OIegon's popular governor,
Mr.. Chamberlain, the Democratic
candidate for United States senator,
received about 1000 more votes than
Mr.. Cake, the Republican aspirant for
that office. It is probable, therefore,
that Governor Chamberlain will be
chosen by the Republican legislature
to represent Oregon in the senate.
The legislature, of course, is not
legally bound to act in accordance with
the popular desire as expressed at the
polls last Monday. BY the constitu-
tion of the United States the legisla-
ture is made the agency for choosing
senators and therefore from legal
point of view it is free to follow its
own inelinations in the matter, regard
less of any restraints imposed by pop
ular opinion, however manifested. A
majority of the newly elected men,
teIs of the Oregon legislature, how.
ever, pledged themselves before cleo
ton to choose as senator the candidate
receiving the largest popular vote for
that office.
Any state can put the Oregon plan
into operation by enacting law pro-
viding that the names of the various
candidates for senator may be placed
on the ballot to be voted on election
day. Its successful operation, how
ever, requires in addition public SEN
timent which will oblige candidates
for the Legislature TO pledge themselves

MONEY DRAIN FROM OREGON.

1t is not only Oregon, but all othel
states, in greater or less degree. tha
are being drained by the eastern life
insurance companies. According t.
a statement made before the 1850, ,00(
club" of Spokane recently. the people
of Washington are annually sending
away $10.000,000 for insurance. more
than $40 for every person in the state
or two fifths of the value of its great
wheat crop last year.
The people of Alabama, estimate,
the Birmingham Age Herald, sent out
last year like amount for Insurance
SIC, 900, 900. and received in paid losses
and matured policies $3,7811 14oe, a
premium to Wall street of over So, ,000,
000 in one year. In other of the
southern and western states the record
is much the same. But, the Age
Herald says, "the home life insurance
companies are gaining ground. There
is no tetter way to keep southern say.
ings at home than by promoting in
every possible way the business of the
home companies. The scandals OF
three years ago in the big New York
companies boosted the nome com,
panies, and the hope is that they will
be honestly and intelligently managed
until they are able to serve the entire
souGh. This oonsummation would cut
off one great drain of southern money. "
This applies to Oregon, and to all
states remote from New York. Why
not stop this drain of money to that
city? In this connection. though there
is really no direct relation between the
two cases, the Spokane Spokesman
Review depreoates the fact that ION
top Of that we are sending away ad-
ditional millions for dairy products,
millions for packing house products
and still more millions for eastern
manufactures. Only state of extra
ordinary wealth and resources could
endure this drain. These are spend
thrift methods, and if they are not
abandoned we shall have to pay hard
penalty. The world is taking the
cream of our mineral wealth, our for
est resources and the fertility of our
matohless soil. We are in an era of
riotous waste of our marvellous natuEal
resources.
This also applies to Oregon. This
state, too, is sending away millions
annually for products that it ought to
raise at home. OF dairy and meat
products, poultry and eggs, at least,
this state should produce all it cen
sumes and have surplus for export.
Oregon will never sec "her own wings"
sufficiently until she does this. In
these ways the outflow of Oregon
money that never comes back can be
gradually decreased, and millions now
annually sent away Can be utilized in
the development of our resources and
the building up Of Oregon industries.

COMING INTO OUR OWN.

The official photographer for Sunset
Magazine. who has been taking pic
lures in the east end of the county fol
the past week, has discovered some f1n(
illustrations of the productiveness Of
Umatilla county soil and has laid bare
some excellent opportunities for poor
men to make start and establish q
home quickly.
One apple orchard in the east end OF
the county which has never been
known to any one outside of few
neighboIs and of which but little care
has been taken, last year netted the
owner $500 per acre in fine winter
apples.
A vineyard of which perhaps no one
in Pendleton ever heard yields $500
per acre every year. The vines are as
strong and thrifty as those of any of
the California vineyards and produce
almost as well, although this country
is not advertised as giape district.
Another thing revealed by the camera
in the east end of the county was an
orchard of peach trees averaging about
8 years old, with 100 trees to the acre,
which last year netted the owner %
per tree or $3.50 per acre.
Another unknown resource found by
the same camera was field of three
acres of young strawberry plants which
last year netted the proud owner 1910
per acre. This year it will do better.
And then the best part of the story
is that hundreds of acres of the same
kind of land which is producing these
apples, grapes, peaches and straw,
berries can yet be purchased at prices
ranging from 500 to $500 per acre,
according to location.
Any poor man can secure small
tract of it. He can find work to sup
port his family while his berries or
peach trees ale coming to maturity
and before he knows it, so to speak,
he can have fine income and good
home established.
There are thousand of such opportu-
mites in this rich section of the state.
No need for homeseekeIs to pass Una
tilla county, There is something here
for every class of homeseeker. All
that is needed is to make the home
seeker know it.-East 0regonian.

in good faith to carry out the popular
will as expressed at the election.
The direct advantage of this plan is
that it enables the people actually to
choose their representatives in the ma
tional senate. There is an indirect
benefit which probably will prove even
more important. If the voters choose
the senator they will feel free to cast
their ballots with little regard to par
isan- hip when supporting candidates
for the legislature. No voter then will

1t is the same way, says an exchange,

town that forges ahead while all the

may be called prosperous. That is
hardly a true test of the spirit of the
people living in the town. The true
test comes when the conditions sur
rounding the town changes, till the
life of the town depends altogether ON
