Editor Oakley Herald, Oakley,

ment celebrating the birth Of a
new nation, nation which we
hope will, in time, become one of
the leading nations Of the world.
The purpose of the pageant
was to put before the public the
rich array of incidents in the his
tory of the country, and also
means OF educating and cement
ing the various elements OF
which the white population is
composed. After the idea of a I,
pageant was conceived t h E
Union Government guaranteed
a sum Of $4,000. for carrying
into effect this national underta-
king, and the people of Cape
town extended that guarantee
by 4 sum OF $28, 800. These
sums were inadequate to carry
it through. and / am unable to
state the exact amount OF the
shortage.
The spot selected tor the repre-
sentations OF the episodes is on
the shores of Table Bay, in the
vicinity of the landing place of
the early Portuguese navigators,
Of Johan Van Riebeeck { first
governor of the Cape }. and of
the English shippers who have
in the early days visited this
port.
In 1860 the spirit of enterprise
and discovery infused the Partu-
guese and, though dormant for
a time, burst out in the days OF
|Iohn Bartholomew Diaz. who
was the first man TO discover
the cape of Good Hope. perished
of these shores in 1900. At st.
Helena Bay he encountered ma
lny difficulties, among the fore
most being trouble with t h {
Bushman. In 1897, on Christ
mas day. he sighted the land OF
Natal, to which he gave that
name in commemoratiou of the
birth of Christ.
Some historians claim that
Arstonio DeSuldanha, in 1903.
discovered Ia Bile Bay a n d
ascenned Table mountain to get
his bearings. This, to me, is in
credible and with other authors
think he would be very unwise
to leave his three little vessels,
and being in a strange country
among wild beasts and savages
he would not likely ascend an
unknown mountain. COPELAND
believe, in 1911 assembled the Ia
BILE mountain for the first time.
The Dutch were really the first
colonizers o { this country. In
164S a crew was wrecked in Ia
BILE Bay but were able to save
their provisions and other stores
which they removed to shore,
where they established an en-,
campment and where during five
months they cultivated some o.
the ground. They soon learned
of it's fertility and were remark
ably impressed with climatic
conditions. A homeward bound
feet picked them up and they
broke the good news, drew up q
memorial and laid before t h {
Board of Directors. Thereupor
John Van Riebeeck set sail tol
this fdr- off land.
1t was April 6, 1852, after q
8 passage of 1O4 days, that he an

Willamette Affairs.

DR.. Sweetland gave an earnest talk
yesterday morning in the University
chapel exhorting this, fellows to get
out and work on the athletic field.
In consequence there were about 20
out with picks and shovels and wheel
barrows in the afternoon, and con-
cradle showing was made. The base
ball diamond is completely covered
with clay, and it will not take a great
deal of work to roll and drag it.
There has also been some work on
the track If the present good wealth
er continues a great deal of progress
will be assured.
The basketball team had a rather
short practice yesterday afternoon 1t
was the first of the new semester, and
several of the first team men are not
in condition to play. The next game
will be with o. A. C. sometime next
week, and the game will be played
here. Mcintyre, who was laid up
with an injured foot in the game at
Corvallis Saturday, is getting along
as well as can be expected, and he
expects to be able to play in a week.

[uN1rnD PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Melbourne, Feb. 9.-Following the
public statement of Prime Minister
Fisher, that the arrival of hOrdes Of
Japanese at Nourmea, was a matter
Of grave anxiety to Australia, it is ad-
mitted here today that the govern
ment is uneasy and some officials
even go so far as to intimate that it
means that an influx of the Nipponese
to the South Pacific Islands may be
attempted.
Mr.. Fisher said that he saw danger
of New Caledonia becoming an inter-
mediate settling ground for Japanese
and he considered it as a menace to
Australia.
The fist shipload of coolies which
arrived recently caused much dis
turbance in Nourmea, according to
advices received here and more trou-
BILE is looked for when the second
consignment arrives.
The coolies are being shipped into
the islands by the French Nickel Min
ing companies. The companies have
arranged to bring into the district
5000 of them from Japan.

committee, which will report upon
1t at the next meeting. AS there
seems to be no objection which can
be raised against 1t the council will
probably next Monday evening sus-
pend the rules and pass it.
A resolution recommending the
construction of a new building by the
school board, instead Of, as planned,
and addition to the high school, was
presented and discussed. The gener-
al opinion seemed to be that the sub
ject was a matter for the school board
to consider. and it was not passed
upon but referred to the executive
committee, with instructions to take
what action it saw fit in relation to
1t.

The RIGHT WAY
TO PROTECT
THE FORESTS
BURN THE UNDERBRUSH WHEN
EVER THERE is ENOUGH TO
LET THE FIRE RUN AND BE-
FORE 1T GETS TOO PLENTI-
FUL.

"Ten thousand acres of forests in
Plumas County, the worst firetrap
in all the vast holdings of Thomas
B. Walker, were burned over last
fall and absolutely no damage was
done" says Clinton C. Walker, of
Redding California. Clinton C. Walk
er is a son of Thomas B. Walker,
and is his representative on the
Coast,
"We had to get permission from
the State Fire Warden" continued
Walker. "The permit was given re-
luctantly and we were reminded that
if any Government timber was in
jured We would have to make the
damage good.
1--WE commenced the burning on
October Is after the first good rain,
and by November the work was
done and at the trifling cost of 12 Y
cents to an acre. For thirty years
pine needles had accumulated on that
tract and underbrush had grown up.
Before beginning to set fire we plug
ged up every hollow tree with mud
or dirt The fire burned slowly
in fact, too slowly 10 suit our pur-
pose"
Explaining how easily the fire was
kept under control Walker continued
ITO satisfy Supervisor Rogers of the
Plumas National Forest, who was
skeptical about us being able to con-
troll the fires, We segregated an
eighty-acre tract of Government
land. A man with pitchfork made
a path through the pine needles
along the boundaries OF that eighty
acre tract In no single instance did
the fire leap over that firebreak "
Clinton L, Walker insists that the
policy Of the State Forest Depart
ment and the Government Forest
Bureau in forbidding forest fires at
all times should be revised and sys-
tematic burning in the proper season
and after preparations have been
made should be resorted to.
"If the old Indian custom of burn
ing off the forests is adopted by the
white man." Mr.. Walker continued,
there viii be no repetition of the
appalling loss by forest fires as seen
in Idaho and Mortana last fall"
Walker, representing his fathers
empire of forests in northern Cali
ornia and southern Oregon, says
that he will repeat the Plumas Coun-
ty experiment in Shasta County next
year and on a lrage scale, provided
he can get the necessary permit from
the State Forest Bureau.
Not a single tree, young or old
was damaged materially in burning
over the 10000 acre in Plumas
county last fall" concluded Walker
and that tract was the worst fire.

Walker timber land in California and
Oregon"

The NEW NOVEL
is ROBERT
KIMBERLY

Robert Kimberly" the new novel
by Frank H. Spearman, which will be
published in February, is the fourth
novel by this author and shows the
steady increase of power and ability
which has given each new book a
wider circle of readers, At the same
time the popularity of the earlier
books has grown with equal steadi-
ness and persistency. "Dr Bryson,"
Mr. Spearman's first novel which was
published in 1902, has not only been
in demand year after year but has
actually had a larger sale last year
than ever before since its publication
"The Daughter of a Magnate," the
second novel. has had the same con-
tinued popularity and Whispering
Smith" his last novel which was pub
lished in 1906, has already sold over
100000 copies and promises to con-
tinue for years a favorite book with
people who like a vivid, real and
thrilling story of men of the West. In
this new novel, Robert Kimberly"
he has taken for his hero a multi
millionaire, and a man of the first
rank, socially as well as financially,
and the study of his development and
the story Of his life and that Of the
men and women around him leading
up to a most dramatic climax makes
a novel of phase Of American life
quite different from anything that Mr.
Spearman has written before but Of
the most lively interest.

AMERICAN WOMEN
SHARPLY SCORED
Mrs. French Goes to England
to Escape from Them.

New York. oct. 10.-When Mrs. Annie
Warner French declared in an inter
view in the London Daily Mirror that
English women were much more enter
tanning and intellectual than the women
of her own country and that she went
to England to live because she abhorred
the petty trivialities of daily American
life, she spoke much truth. in the opin-
ion of Mrs. Jessica Finch. one of the
founders of the fashionable colony 81
and an ardent supporter of the Equal
/ Franchise Society. which she and Mrs.
Clarence MaCkay founded.
Mrs. French has denied that she ever
said that she preferred English women
and their society to the company Of
American women. but Mrs. Finch thinks
this denial rtdiculouS. and as only
strengthening her original statements.
Mrs. French * right in her attitude
in most cases Mrs Finch said to-day
''Of course. here in America We have our
exceptions. but most women. partiCu-
arly the tea T"rty and bridge party
women and the SO-Called four hundred
are given over /" small talk and gossip
and personal dllusiOn TO such an extent
that is all one hears discussed.
In England the women are more in
terested in large topics. They do not
discuss their clothes nor their servants
They take time to dress and when dressed
to their own personal satisfaction the
thing is ended. They attend to their
household matters with their servants
and their friends are not bored with
trivial domestic details. There ar" no.
table exceptions among the American
women, however. such .aS Miss Anne
Morgan. Mrs. Borden Hartman, Mrs.
Egerton Winthrop. and many others. who
spend hours in economic discussions and
cope effectively With defective conditions.
1T would Serrn, though Mrs Finch
concluded. that instead of dcsertinG her
country to critiCise its women it would
be a real worthwhile work for women
such as Mrs. French to stay at home
and help to establish higher standards"
