STAY AWAY FROM PORTLAND
GOVERNOR CARROLL ASKED TO
USE HIS INFLUENCE.
Oregon is No Place For Poor Man to
Come To, Writes Central
Labor Council.

Des Moines, Feb. Especial: Gov
ernor Carroll has received a letter
from the Central Labor Council of
Portland, Ore, asking him to use his
influence to prevent people moving
to Oregon under the impression that
they can get land cheaper there or
more work at higher wages.
The letter, after calling attention
to the fact that thousands have gone
to Oregon through false advertise
ments" says, concerning their cOndi'
ton: Large numbers of these people
are now destitute, having spent their
savings in railroad fare and in vainly
seeking for work"
The letter continues in the follow
ing Woeful strain
Oregon, comprising a territory of
$4,000 square miles with population
of about 100000 people, is in the main
a great wilderness of forests and
mountains. The forests are largely
held for speculation by the railroad
interests and other great corpora
tions. To clear an acre of this forest
land, after it has been logged off,
costs from $50 to 800 per acre
Hence there is little chance for pay
ing forms on such lands, except for
men with considerable capital.
open country, suitable for farm
ing, has long ago been taken up and
prices for such farm land are very
high.
Railroad transportation through
out the state is very poor.

most fabulous prices, in the hope
that fasteners can be fooled to buy
them. The same trick that was play.

schemes dropped out in California
and the Coxey army followed. The
bottom of Oregon's wildcat schemes
is now dropping out; hence idleness,
restitution and a general reign of
crime committed by msled and
desperate men"
AS to labor conditions in Portland
and throughout Oregon, the letter
continues to say:
"The almost criminal practice OF
some employers of labor in advertis,
ing in eastern papers that wages OF
carpenters in Portland are $500 per
day for eight hours, with steady EN-,
ployment guaranteed, cannot be too
strongly condemned. The facts are
that carpenters wages in Portland
are $3.50 to $500 per day, hours
ranging from eight to ten, and as a
rule there are three men looking for
each job, The same conditions pre-,
vail 10 many other trades.

sive view of the scope of life than
ever before. To measure up to the
opportunities of the present we must
do more than fill program of work
such as our fathers had We must
broaden our vision and increase our
line of activity. ..a....
This larger definition of evangelism
will also have clear note of social
service, minority to the multitudes
in the name of the church. This
message oftsocial service must be
shot throughd and through with the
right with God. 1.-THE lettering of our
times can come only as every man
supreme need that every man get
eternal purposes of the ages.
There is also needed a message
touching the ministry of money, a
message to all men that money is
trust. Every man should understand
that every talent of brain, of property,
every opportunity of service, is to be
invested for others. There is no
imaginary line running through life,
on one side of which is the Sabbath,
the Bible, the preacher and few
other things, which are to be sacred;
and on the other side our offices and
the other six days of the week and
our money-getting, our pleasures and
our plans for the future. More and
more that line is obliterated and we
see and understand that the man who
lives right lives life that is sacred
through and through.
Our enlarged lines of activity must
needs include a greater evangelistic
emphasizing of the Bible as the sole
rule of life and conduct. Special
work for boys and educational work
concerning Missions are a part of the
business of modern Christian organ
izations. All of these things includ-

The very bigness of the program

the gospel message is the biggest
thing that can occupy the mind of the
race. The program of the Forward
Movement is the biggest thing in the
ages, because it includes all these
items. Let us put before this big age
program big enough. stalwart
enough, and far reaching enough
to fit into the greatness of the mes
sage, to appeal to the biggest man

has a wide acquaintance through the
district, as for several years he serv.
ed acceptably as court reporter for
the late Judge Scott. The Sixth ju.
dicial district comprises four of the
same counties Incorporated in the
Sixth congressional district, so the
territory and the voters will not be
strangers to Mr.. Bray.
In his announcement Mr.. Bray does
not say where he Stands on national
issues, but his word and works of the
past, and his personal friendship for
Senator Cummins would pressage his
endorsement of the Senior Senator S
views and of the latter's candidacy
for the presidential nomination.
Congressman Kendall is quoted in
the Washington dispatches as being
for Cummins for president, and in the
main his vote has been cast with the
so-called insurgents of the House.
Judging by the temper of the men
who attended the recent conference
in Ottumwa, and the reports there
made from all over the district, it
would seem that a majority of the
republican voters in the Sixth are
for the denomination of President
Taft.
Putting all these things together

We fain would leave thee miles and
miles behind;
At Christmas time it seemed We

But now we wish you'd pull up stakes
and go.
When melancholy days were here last
fall,
How eagerly we listened for thy call;
Thy frosty breezes, then sweet re
lief,
Have grown monotonous beyond be-
lief.
What seemed joy, to fondly hug the
heat
And hear thee howl outside, and
storm and sleet,
Has long grown old we think, and call
it, too,
The final word in nothing much to do
/ never saw the plumbing frozen so,
low
This time of year, which seems the
reason why
/ never saw an ash pile quite so high.
The setting sun, behind it every night
Suggests that some gorgeous scene of
mountain height,
Or sunset painting, from a foreign
land,
As executed by a master hand.
So after all, you play noble part
In life that makes you dear to every

Your healthy days, no thinking man

For summers scorching hundred in

WOMAN SLAIN BY BOMB
NEW YORK POLICE BAFFLED BY
MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
Helen Taylor Gets Internal Machine
at Her Home and Is Hor-
ribIy Mangled.

New York, Feb 5.-The most battling
mystery with which the police have
had to deal in years-the murder of
of bomb wrapped up as a box of
candy which messenger boy placed
in her hands at the door of her apart
ment. has defied a score Of central
Office detectives to arrive at the first
step toward a solution.
The woman unwrapped the package
and as she lifted the cover of a box
an explosion that shook the entire FIVE
story apartment building at 1913 West
Seventy-seventh street, in which she
lived, hurled her into another room,
mangled almost beyond recognition.
Charles NJ. Dickinson, secretary to
the chief engineer of the United
States Motors company, sat in the
room when the explosion occurred and
is held on a technical charge of homi-
eide
Miss Edna Lamarre, who left the
house a few minutes before the pack
age was delivered, is held as mate
rial witness. Nothing has been re-
vealed so far to indicate that either
person knows anything of the crime.
The police have been unable to find
the boy who delivered the bomb to
the woman, none of the messenger Of
fees showing any record of boy be-
ing sent to the house. A vigorous
search is being prosecuted for the
woman's former husband, a man
named Taylor.
Coroner Feinberg, after an examina-
ton of the parts Of the bomb found,
declared that 1t is the first bomb OF
the kind he has seen in this country.
He said he had seen others in Europe
and a search among the revolutionist
groups on the East side may reveal
the maker.
