At recent official inquiry into factory
conditions in England the evidence showed
some queer instances of petty tyranny upon
the part of employers.
In a cotton mill, should weaver do
the most trihing injury to piece of cloth
he has to pay for the whole piece. This
may swallow his entire weeks wages but
there is this to be said: He gets the cloth,
and at wholesale price, and may cut it up
and sell it to his neighbors.
1t is pieceworkers, especially those en-
p1oyed in the hosiery and tailoring trades,
who suffer most severely from the fine svs-

SUPPOSEDLY POOR
FARMER DIES RICH

stockton, Cal-Though few were
aware that John H. Webster, a sup
posedly poor farmer, who died last
week, had an estate, it became known
today, when his will was opened, that
two intimate friends had been remem-
bered to the extent of 10000 cash
each. Neither of them had any idea
that they would receive a cent, and
they were greatly surprised when in
formed that they would get so much
money.
George Harrison who had been a
lifelong friend of Mr.. Webster and
farmed near him for many years, was
first bequeathed $4,000 in remember
ance of the many kindnesses he had
bestowed upon the deceased. 1t re-
quired two or three repetitions of that
particular clause in the will to con-
vince Mr.. Harrison that his friend has
not put up a job on him.
The other beneficiary is Miss Edith
Walker, a stenographer in a local
store and niece of Officer Walker, ex-
Chief of Police. She has been a
friend of the Webster family for many
years and a great favorite of Mr.
Webster.

ANNA HELD AND HER
MILLION DOLLAR GOWN

Kansas City Star-Miss Anna Held
arrived from Europe yesterday with
her dress of diamonds. Much to the
disappointment of the assemblage at
the North German Lloyd pier she was
not using it as a travelling costume,
however She even admitted that 1t
wasn't all diamonds. There is some
pink silk, too--to hang the diamonds
on. There are as many diamonds on
the dress-Miss Held said so herself
-as there are beads on jet gown
which is undoubtedly some diamonds
Miss Held didn't bring home with
her the million dollars which 1t is
said she had when she went away
last spring. Maybe the diamond
dress explains that,
She said she had travelled all over
Europe in a motor car in the sum-
mer, that she was very well, that she
would appear again very soon in
miss Innocence" and that 1t was not
any wiser for young girls to go on
the stage now than it was when she
went away. Several of the present
theatrical organizations. according to
Miss Held, are not run for the sole
purpose of attaining real artistic re-
suits.

BIBLE RANKS
AMONG BEST SELLERS

The Bible continues to be the best
seller among books, according to the
105th report just issued by the British
and Foreign Bible Society. During the
last year, according to the report the
languages in which either complete
Bibles or parts of 1t were issued
reached a total OF 418, and 100000
Bibles or portions of the Bible were
issued.
During the year six fresh transla-
tions were added to the society's
lengthening list, and were reduced to
written form, so as to become vehicles
Of the Gospel Two Of them belong to
Asla-the borders Of Spiti and Tibet;
two to Africa-Southern Nigeria and
the eastern edge Of Rhodesia; and two
to Oreania.
Many striking stories are told by
the colporteurs, whose adventures
even in these days are often quite
thrilling. Last year some of them
were arrested as spies in Nicaragua,
robbed in Burma, bitterly mocked by
Social Democrats in Germany, driven
out of villages by priests in Peru, who
burnt their books, stoned in the Phil
ippines and beaten by Moslems in
Baluchistan. In the earthquake al
Messina a coloporteur with his fam
lily narrowly escaped death.

OREGON BIRDS ARE
NOT DESTROYERS

Portland.-There is but one bird
In oregon that has been proved an
enemy to fruit growers, according to
DR.. f. Il. L. Beal Of the biological
survey Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. Dr. Beal ad-
dressed meeting of the oregon Au-
dobon society last night and told
them all about the birds that are sup
posed to hurt the orchards but that
don't.
1t Is DR. Beal that the department
Of agriculture relies upon to furnish
its expert information on the eco
nomic relations between bird and
man. He told the audience last
night how to determine this relation.
1t Is by examining the stomach of
the birds caught in and near or
chards for signs of fruit. If, instead
Of fruit, harmful insects are found
in the birds stomachs, DR.. Beal ar
CUES that that bird must be a help
rather than a hindrance to the or
chardist.
oregon farmers who asked the de-
partment of agriculture to send an
expert out here to report on the bird
question, have shown DR.. Beal over
their orchards pretty thoroughly. AS
result of this inspection he thinks
there is but one harmful bird-the
Lewis woodpecker or "Apple Bird
and even this bird is injurious only
to isolated orchards adjoining wood
ed places. 1t never does serious dam
age to large orchards or in an or
chard community, according to DR..
Beal
The doctor told his audience that
Oregon as a whole has less birds than
its sister states Of the east and ad-
vised that something be done to in
crease the number of birds in the
state. He said they would reduce the
number of harmful insects to a re-
makable extent.

If NORTH POLE is
NIMOVEABLE BELONGS TO U. S.

Washington.-The ownership of the
north pole depends largely upon
whether the ice in that end of the
world is permanent and immoveable,
II it is DR.. Hannis Taylor, the inter-
national law expert argues, the Uni
ted States has a legitimate claim to
1t. on the other hand, Alvey A. Adee,
third assistant secretary of state and
the repository of the diplomatic ira
ditions of the department, says that
the ice can't be immoveable and that
therefore the north pole is in the open
sea and the nations of the world have
equal interest in 1t.
The only way to settle this disturb
ing question is to have some one camp
out at the pole long enough to deter
mine beyond doubt that the place
where he is sitting is not moving
south.

III HUNG CHANG
NOT A DOG EATER

One of the current London maga-
zines gives an amusing account Of
Ii Hung Chang. When that distin-
guished Oriental was visiting London
leading light of the stock exchange
made up his mind to send a valuable
present to the Chinese diplomat. AZ
ter careful consideration he decided
he could not do better than send him
two of his most valuable toy dogs,
They were selected with great care
and sent to Ii Hung Chang, from
whom a letter of thanks was received
a few days later.
"Your gift is much appreciated, but
unfortunately my age and health
compel me to adopt a very rigid diet.
Under these circumstances, I direct
ed that the dogs should be prepared
for some members of my staff, who
have enjoyed them very much"
The donors feelings are not de-
scribed.

MAY PUT BAN ON
NERVE STIRRING POSTERS

New York, Sept. 17.-If the at
tempted crusade against flaming
posters which is now threatened by
New York's illustrious "City Fathers"
amounts to anything, the favorite
productions of thousands of gallery
gods will be presented under heavy
handicap this season. Broadway
After Dark" THE Convict's Sweet
heart" "Sal, the Circus Girl" and
"The Kink of the Bigamlsts," which
were regarded as thrillers last sea-
son and were partly responsible for
the proposed action of the aldermen,
are in mildness, as Neufchatel
against Limburger, compared with
this years offerings. Here are some
of them: "The Attempted Murder in
Mid-Ocean," Take Her Away, I'll
Save Her from These Scoundrels,"
"There Stands the Murderer-Arrest
Him." "The Jailbrd's Escape" THE
Rescue OF jack" "1'ne Dash for Lib
erty," "The Fight on the Cliff" "The
Branded Man" "The Attempted Muir
der of SAL" sails Sensational Es-
cape" and "You Tried to Kill Me,
Now I'll Kill You"
The reformers want such posters
condemned because they suggest ply
steal violence, which is not consld-
cred nice in guileless Gotham. Others,
barred on ethical grounds are: "Ar-
rest That Man, He Is Flirting With
Muh," and Defending His Wife's
Honor" "The Electric Jewel Box"
is another good one, as is 'The Sc
duction OF the Southern Belle"

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
TELLS OF OREGON
FLATTERING TRIBUTE TO
WONDERFUL RESOURCES
Eastern Paper Characterizes Our
State as Land of Embarrassment
OF Riches'--Country Affords n
Variety OF Occupations-Land In
creaslng In Value.

The Chicago Tribune in lengthy
article, pays flattering tribute to Ore
gon and its wonderful variety OF re-
sources as follows:
"Oregon has population Of half
a million and over. She has well
come for thousands more and royal
welcome, too. Nature has heaped
her gifts (of climate, scenery ana
soil, of forest, mine and farm on
this daughter of the west, and In
gratitude oregon is stretching out a
beckoning hand to the Struggling
masses OF the east. There Is In ore
gon an Embarrassment Of riches
an almost bewildering variety OF
choice, before the prospective set
tiers. For this state is resourceful
in more senses than one. He who
would make his home In Oregon,
should ponder well the question:
(Which secuon?" Land may be pur-
chased for a few dallors and there is
land valued at thousands of dollars
per acre. There are opportunities
for many.
On the Pacific Slope.
about one-fourth of Oregon's area
Of 94,560 square miles, lies west of the
Cascade mountains, and embraces
some choice garden spots-the Will
lamette valley including nine OF the
most productive counties in the state
the Umpqua valley, known far and
wide for its high quality fruits-the
Rogue river valley with its perfect
strawberries and unexcelled apples.
Western Oregon, though possessing
considerable rainfall, is applying irri-
CATION to produce higher results In
fruit growing.
Irrigated Lands.
MANY irrigated projects are un-
der wav in Oregon, the acreage of
land under irrigation so far amount
ing to near 100000. About one
twentieth Of the total cultivated area.
In the valley of the Deschutes river,
in the central part of the state-in
Umatilla county, in the klamath
country and elsewhere, thousands OF
acres will be added to the most pro-
ductive of farm lands of the west.
But even then the irrigated land In
the state will bear only small pro-
portion of the total cultivable area,
and though the fruit-raising Is In
the limelight" to the almost complete
observation of other products, YET
Oregons grain and grazing lands
should not be overlooked by the
farmer.
Wheat Lands.
wheat is the great grain crop OF
Oregon and for quality ranks at the
top. Prices rule high, largely on ac-
count of the foreign demand-Oregon
being the principal source of orlen-
tai supply. The immense wheat farms
1000 to 6000 acres-are titled and
harvested by steam power.
Profits and Land Values.
Land in the United States Is
worth all the way from nothing 10
millions of dollars an acre. 1t all
depends on what is worth to the
owner. Successful intensive farming
has raised the value of Oregon farm
land in some sections to $500. Irri-
gable land that, as raw sage brush,
was worth $5 an acre one or two years
ago. is worth today $3.50. Wheat land
can be bought wild for $40 an acre
cultivated for $50 to $50. Desert land
under irrigation system, with water
prospects, brings $50 to $500 per
acre"
