He told me he had purchased 1t for
me, and that 1t was to be his bridal
gift I wondered at the munifcence
Of the present, but he assured me he
was q man Of much greater wealth
than was generally supposed, and that
when we were wed, we would live in
luxury equaling that Of anyone in New
York society. I believed him. He
explained that he wished me to take
charge of the necklace at once as he
feared to keep 1t in his own apart
ment, and for business reasons did
not wish to intrust It to a safe deposit
company When the news of the Mis-
s1oner diamond robbery was published
in the newspapers. I commented upon
1t to the man l supposed to be my
fiance, and expressed wonder as to
whether Mrs. Missioner's diamonds
were as beautiful as those he had
given me. He asked me to say moth
ing about my possession Of the neck
lace until our wedding day.

the necklace from my room; when. in

MONEY FOR SINGLE
TAX FUND IN OREGON
Millionaire Advocate of Theory Giving
of His Substance.

portland, Ore.-JOSeph FelS, the
millionaire soap manufacturer of
Philadelphia and spreader of single
tax propaganda, looks to Oregon to
enact the Henry George theory into
law. He has just made an offer to
give dollar for dollar to a single tax
fund and local enthusiasts say they
will raise S12,500, making a total of
$4,000 to be spent here in a two-year
campaign.
Mr. Fels was warmly received while
in the city the first of this month. He
attended receptions, was given lunch
cons and spoke on his pet theory,
which he calls justice.
by justice, I mean exemption from
taxation on all personal property; the
settling of all taxation upon land val
ues, all land values being created by
the activities and the presence of
population" said Mr.. Fels. Included
in this taxation are all special privi-
leges, railroad franchises, public util-
tiles and the same pertaining to light
heat, city transportation and every
other function which can be carried
on by the public. In other words,
mean bringing into operation the eco
nomic philosophy Of Henry George
known as the single tax
Oregon is our first state, and al
though we have the Henry George
theory in Victoria, Vancouver and
other British Columbia points, we
hope to have it in the United States
and after its adoption in Oregon, we
look for it to spread"
Mr.. Fels' campaign will be conduct
ed through local clubs in every county
of the state where they can be estab-
lished. Speakers will be brought to
the state from far off sections and
Oregon men, who have made a study
OF the plan, will also take the field.
Mr.. Fels has established funds in
many countries for the advancement
Of his theories of taxation. Great
Britain has been given s25,000 to run
for five years and like amount has
been placed in the United States. The
proposed Oregon fund is in addition
to this sum.

MISSIONARIES NOT
INJURED IN CHINA
"FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE"
NOT TO BE MOLESTED
Rioters Themselves Post Notices
Uprising Directed Against Govern
ment-Eamine Makes Bandits.

Reassuring reports from the scene
of the riots in the vicinity of Canton,
China, as to the safety of American
state department in Washington.
From. Lienchow word has been re-
ceived that the rioters themselves
have posted notices urging the people
not to disturb the missionaries, whom
they call the friends of the people"
The riots are ascribed to the at
tempt of the Chinese government to
take a census and number the houses
in the town. The disturbances, there
fore, were directed against the gov
ernment, and not against the Ameri-
cans, as was at first reported. 1t Is
denied that the missionaries houses
and property have been destroyed.
Bands OF robbers, driven to desper-
alton by the famine, are menancing
inhabitants of the northern part of
the provinces of Anhui and Kiangsui,
according to reports received at the
state department. Villages whose in
habitants possessed money and food
stuffs have been plundered by the ma
rauders. Depredations have been
quelled to a limited degree by means
of the partially completed Tientsin-
Pukow railroad, which enabled the
government to send troops into the
affected districts. A number of ar
rests were made, and several Offend
ers summarily executed.
The government has ordered $50,-
900 worth of seed distributed among
the farmers. but many months will
intervene before the ground can even
be plowed to receive it. The famine.
which is affecting more than 2,500,-
600 persons, Is due to the heavy rains
of last summer, which ruined the
crops.
Though thousands are being em-
ployed on the railway under construc-
ton, more thousands are without
work. Many entire families have
emigrated to the south and the north
looking for work. Their search Is
sure to prove futile, however, as there
is always a surplus of unskilred labor
in those districts, and the railway can
employ no more men than at present.

OREGON SYSTEM Is
NOT ENDORSED BY SENATE

Salem, Or, Feb. 2.-Senator Albee's
resolution extolling the Oregon sys-
tenn Of laws and Abraham's resolu-
tion calling on United States Senator
Bourne to support constitutional
amendment for election of senator's by
the people were sent to the junk pile
together Tuesday afternoon.
The funeral Of the Abraham reso-
luton was conducted without cere-
mony and without protest, but the AL
bee draft, which was a revival in mild
er language Of the Ill fater Kellaher
resolution, caused a diverting clash
between Abraham and President Sell
ing.
Abraham had gone far afield to
give his views on Jonathan Bourne,
Selling reminded him that a different
matter was before the senate.
II know some people feel tender
when Bourne $ mentioned" Abraham
said. He was stopped quickly.
THE president Of the senate will
not stand for that" said President
Selling
Abraham said he intended no re-
Election on the president, but on re-
suming his attack on Bourne he was
Interrupted by Kellaher, who made
a point of order that there was moth
ing about Bourne in the pending reso-
luton. Wood, one of the stalwarts,
made further point OF order against
the whole debate, saying the senate
disposed Of the same matter when 1t
voted on the Kellaher resolution.

ruled. Selling told Abraham to pro-

STATE PUBLICITY
FUND IS NEEDED
LOUIS HILL TALKS
TO OREGON LEGISLATORS
Railroad Man Declares Oregon Is
Practically an Undiscovered Coun-
.ty-Greater Population Needed.

Oregon is declared to be an undis-
covered country affording the greatest
opportunity in the world for develop
ment and increase of population. in
a talk before members of the legisla-
ture by President Louis W. Hill, of
the Great Northern railroad. He as
serted that with proper assistance,
such as would be given by a state
bureau of publicity the population
could easily be trebled in the next 10
years.
"If the Great Northern did not bef
Iieve that the state of Oregon could
not be developed tenfold,' he said,
sit would never have entered the
state. We have been watching the
western states closely, particularly In
the past three years and we have
been endeavoring to obtain their CO.
operation with US, not only for the
benefit of the railroad, but to benefit
themselves"
He called attention to the $4,000
900 which the state has at its COM
mand from appropriations and de-
81 clared that with encouragement i'm
migration and the development Of the
resources Of the state would soon
have a large additional amount at its
command.
you cannot reasonably increase
your income until you have the pop
ulation," he continued. You now
have cheaper lands than any other
state in the union and it is reasonable
to assume that there will be enor-
NOUS increase in the population If the
right thing is done to encourage it.
Foreigners Not Wanted.
THE competition between states to
gain settlers is keener than that be-
tween the railroads. Canada, more
than any state, is an energetic COM
petitor. You would naturally go to
the states Of the east and present your
advantages 10 the agricultural ele-
ment. You do not want foreigners.
Now, other states exhibit at the vari-
Gus land shows as states. They are
behind all of the statements which
are made and give strength to the
campaigns. It is noticeable that Ore
gon and Washington practically new
er exhibit as states. The people con-
clude that such exhibits as are at
InSse SnOWs from Lnese StdteS are
only schemes by the railroads to sell
tickets or by land companies to sell
lands"
No new department. would be ne
cessary for the state publicity cam
paign, said Mr.. Hill. He suggested
that II the land commissioner or any
other department were given a sum
OF from $4,000 to $4,000 in two
years it would be the states most ac'
tive department in distributing and
answering inquiries from prospective
settlers.

as scheme or city to sell land or
some proposition which the railroad
was backing for selfish purposes, and
he again emphasized the need of the

at Spokane and had beaten the world

State Should Spend Money.

THE Oregon railroads are now
spending s150,00O annually for pub
licity for this state. Portland spends
100000 and the land companies more
money. 1t is hard to make a sugges-
ton on this point, but I do think it
would be unreasonable for the state
to make an appropriation of $4,000.
In ten years your population would
be more than trebled. The greatest
opportunities in the United States or
in the entire world are in Oregon"
In closing President Hill also sug-
gested the establishment Of the expert

state went ahead with the publicity
work his railroad would not quit, but
would continue with even more energy
and expenditures.
