WOULD TEACH
GIRLS TO Be
WET NURSES

A dispatch from Spokane yesterday
to the Oregonian says:
Babies and blacksmith shops in the
public schools of Spokane for the bet
ter education of the young were sug-
gested Friday night by c. T. Tupper,
at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher as
sociation here. The proposal to in
crease the advantages of the demes-
tic science department by the advent
of real live babies aroused much dis
cussion among Spokane mothers fol-
lowing the report of the meeting
The plan is to establish day nurser-
les and place babies in them better
to instruct the girls of the public
schools.
Mrs. w. J. Hindley, wife of the may
or, is of the opinion that the girls of
the public schools are too young to
take the additional burdens of baby
care on their minds, and, for that
reason, opposes the plan.
Mrs. d. c. Coates, wife of Commits
sioner Coates, thinks the suggestion
is a splendid idea, but rather doubts
the immediate installation of the nur-
series and the babies in the Spokane
schools.
at is a good plan" she said an
the olden days, it is true, girls got all
kinds of training at home and soon
learned to care for babies, but / be-
lieve it is different now"

WILL MAKE
A FURTHER
EXAMINATION

Attorney General Crawford admit
ted this morning that in the event
that recall petitions launched against
District Attorney Cameron were filed
that he would make further inves-
tigation of the recall amendment and
that in the even that he found that a
former opinion was i'll advised that
he would change it.
The attorney general several
weeks ago rendered an opinion that
the recall amendment was not self
operative and that before it could be
invoked, further legislation would be
necessary. Since then a judge in
Portland has decided that the amend
ment is self-operative and a number
of attorneys have taken issue with
the attorney general. He intends to
examine authorities submitted by
them and should he find them to be
against his position, will rule other
wise.

8 a. m. to II p. m. The business men
pledged $3.50 and appointed Jas. Nolan
and A. j. Johnson as members of the
executive committee. Bert Johnson
was sent along t1th the Salem and AL
bany men to Eugene, where about 40
business men turned out Friday even
ing at the Commercial club to hear
the matter presented. The Eugene
business men admitted the necessity
for the valley cities being represented
at the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion hearing, but did not think it good
policy for that city to participate, as
they were getting graet deal of
railroad extension work and many fa-
vors were shown them in advertising
and building up tn ecity. They named
a committee, but did not put up any
money.
Mr.. Page has gone to Portland to
close a contract with Mr.. Cummins to
represent the three cities at the con-
ference, and he is to receive $1,000 for
his work.

ARCHITECT
ASKS NUMBER
OF QUESTIONS

IDAHO MAN-BIDS FOR WOOD
REJECTED - MISS EVA SAVAGE
RESIGNS; MISS BERTHA Ed
WARDS APPOINTED.

A Couer d'Alene architect sent, a
letter to the Salem school board and
it was read by Clerk Burghardt Sat
urday night, asking questions about
the proposed two new school houses
to be erected. He wanted to know
the lay of the land sewer connec-
tions, surrounding property, land
drainage, and a hundred and one
questions, and wanted to submit
plans, etc. One of the board sug-
gested that it be put in the waste
basket. Another wanted to know II
there were not plenty of good home
architects. A. N Moores as chairman
thought the letter a good one, as it
contained valuable ideas and sugges-
tions, and hoped it would not be
thrown aside. B. J. Miles thought
the letter was worthy Of careful
and intelligent answer. He was also
willing to favor the home architect,
everything being equal, but if the
outside architect had better ideas
about sanitation, ventilation, lighting
and general economy he was in favor
of giving him chance to submit
plans.
Bids for 800 cords of slabwood
were rejected as not being accepta-
BILE, and new advertisement was or
dered placed.
The resignation of Miss Eva Saw
age, an eighth grade teacher, was
accepted, and Mrs. Ellen Woods was
elected to fill vacancy Miss Bertha
Edwards was elected as assistant in
the domestic science department
The final bill for taking the school
census was allowed, making the to-
tai cost of the census $25225.
Miss Mildred Davis has been
placed in charge of the city library
work in the public schools. She was
recommended by the city library
board.
Bills were allowed for the past
month and the board adjourned to

The stor mthat struck the north
west Friday night, while not, in some
respects, an unusual one, is still extra
ordinarily bad in others. Outside OF
the sleet, the so-called "silver thaw,
which is a freeze, it was and is not
unusually cold, or otherwise out of the
ordinary. But the sleet is enough.
1t has put Portland off the map-and
Oregon, so far as news is concerned
out of the world. The Western Union
has moved it's headquarters from Port
land to Oregon City, and is forwarding
it's news" from there. The wires are
down, most of them, and the few that
still hang onto their jobs are said to be
as big as a ships cable.
Up to noon The Journal office had
not received a line of telegraph, even
the central girls at the telephone Of
flee, seeming to be like Teddy, sudden
ly obessed with a quiet streak.
Here there was but little if any dam
age done, this beinG about the south
ern edge of the sleet zone, and it was
very light here. This morning the
tail end of the storm whipped down
this way again-and a slight fall OF
hail and sleet, just enough to make
the streets as slippery as the tobog-
gan slide to sheol covered everything
There were few teams on the streets
it being almost impossible for the
horses to stand.
Telegraphic communication with
Eugene was open, but south of that
there was nothing doing.

one back to before the war" days

of the ice-covered wires. In the city
4555 Bell telephones and about 1000
Home telephones have been reported
out of service; the entire East side
passed last night in darkness be-
cause of the danger of turning cur
rent into the electric light wires,
which are tangled in a network Of
telephone wires and trees.
Car Service Irregular.
The cars maintained an irregular
service yesterday and on three of the
lines were unable, for a part of the
day at least, to go to the terminals.
Telegraph companies are operating
on shattered service and the streets
are veritable sheets of ice, slippery
and dangerous.
The total damage to the public
service companies was estimated last
night by officials at over 100000, in
cluding over $4,000 property loss
and $4O,SOO in loss Of revenue be-
cause of paralyzed service. These
estimates are considered low in al
most every case. No attempt was
made to estimate the damage to trees
in dollars and cents.
Streets StreWn With Trees.
The entire residence district, and
particularly the East Side, is in a
deplorable state, the streets being
strewn with trees and branches, in
terwoven with telephone and electric
light wires covered with heavy coats
of ice.
Many streets are impossible and
comparatively few sidewalks are IN
use because of the fallen trees and
the dropping limbs which all day
yesterday continued to snap as gusts
of wind swayed them back and forth
The center of the street was used for
sidewalks all over the East Side and
in the tree-covered portions Of the
West Side residence district.
Broadway Scene of Ruin.
One of the principal scenes of de-
vastation yesterday was Broadway as
far east as Twenty-fourth street.
Where on Saturday morning were
hundreds of shapely shade trees were
yesterday splintered masses of limbs
hopelessly tangled in wires, The
whole mass was frozen together.
There were but few telephone poles
standing, the majority being stretched
out across the street, with the hun
dreds of wires broken and dangled.
Many poles fell upon houses, causing
more or less damage.

After listening to argument. on a
demurrer interposed by the defense
in the case brought by Secretary Of
State Olcott against State Printer
Duniway, the object of which is to
oust the printer from the state capi-
tol building, Judge Kelly sustained
the demurrer.

A motion was submitted several days
ago asking that one of the two par
ties be named as plaintiff, either the
state or Olcott. Judge Kelly sus-
tained it. Today the case came up
on demurrer interposed to the COM
plant and again the judge sustained
the contention of the defense.
Attorney Richardson, who appeared
for Olcott, served notice on the Judge
that an appeal would be taken to the
supreme court 0lcott contends that
under the law Duniway has no right
to occupy quarters in the capitol

The storm that swept over the
northwest Saturday seemed to have
its center about Portland where the
cold wave, sweeping down the gorge
of the Columbia, changed the famous
Oregon mist into an infamous con-
glomeration of sleet and ice that
would have been gladly missed"
The Oregonian this morning has the
following graphic description of con-
ditions there yesterday, and today,
and with the sleet still falling, those
conditions promise to be much worse.
All wires leading into the metropolis
are down and Portland is temporar-
lily off the map. The Western Union
this morning moved it's head office to
Oregon City, and is forwarding such
telegraph messages as it can get
over its crippled lines, by street car
The Oregonian says:
While it was impossible for thu
public utility companies to determine
the extent of their losses yesterda!
and it was out of the question Il
make monetary estimate of tn,
damage to trees, shrubbery an,
plants, it is believed Portland
"silver thaw" which set in Saturda!
morning, will cost the city more thai
$25O,OOO.
With the city still in the throes o
the wintry blast, with nearly every
thing encased in ice, the question )
further destruction is held in tn,
balance. A high wind or more ic!
sleet will add many fold to the ruin
while a thaw will relieve the situa
tiop very quickly. Which 1t will be
only time will tell.
FOreeaster Is Handicapped.
Owing to the limited telegraph ser
vice, reports at the United State!
weather bureau last night were miss
ing from many important points anC
Forecaster Beals declared that hi
could not make a forecast which
would be dependable. He predict!
snow for today with slowly rising
temperatures. 1t is feared this com
bination may lead to more slee
storms and make the present deplor
able conditions even more serious.
The telephone companies are para
lyzed, there being but few lines IL
the business district still intact. The
damage so far to the two companies
is estimated at more than $4,000
More than 1900 miles of wires are
out of service, hundreds of pole:

either torn from the ground or brok,

80 miles to get over this distance TO
be covered in 17R. President Al
bert of the Board of Trade, in ad-
journing the meeting, said he hoped
no one would be afraid of this rail-
road because it was going to cost
100000. A few men at Salem had
put a little money into the Masonic
Temple and were erecting an 100000
building. They would make money
and only put up small part of the
cost. This railroad would mean
more to Salem than a number of
Masonic temples, and he favored go
ing ahead with it.
Mr.. Reed was we'll satisfied with
the results of the meeting and The
whole matter was referred to the
transportation committee of :he
Board of Trade, who will hold a
meeting at once and formulate a
plan of procedure

SITUATION
DESCRIBED
BY OLCOTT'
OF THE DESCHUTES LAND COM
PANY-HE SAYS: "THE GOVERN.
MENT FURNISHES THE LAND,
THE STATE THE CREDIT AND
THE PROMOTERS THE WIND"

There is no evidence before the
State Desert Land Board showing that
there are any settlers on the land
owned by the Deschutes Land COM
pany, and that was one of my reasons
for voting against a resolution to be-
gin proceedings to cancel its con-
tract said Attorney-General Crawford
today, in speaking on the subject.
Further there is no evidence to
show that the s'pte has opened these
lands for sale or that an acre has
been sold, or that an application has
been made for its purchase. AS a mat
ter of fact, there has not been any of
it sold"
Hits the Promoters.
"The government furnishes the
land, the state the credit and the pro-
motor the wind" said Secretary of
State Olcott, when seen with relation
to the matter.
There is truth in the statement that
no land has been opened for sale by
the board, and that not an acre has
been sold. But the company is evad-
ing it's contract by selling options, to
go into effect when the land is re
claimed. AS the situation now stands
the company has the money for options
sold the state has opened no land foI
sale, and would not be in a position tC
execute deeds to those holding options
and if it was, would not know to whom
to execute them, as it has no informa.
tion on the eubject
"The board has for some time beer
trying to get information on the sub.
ject, and, failing in it, has instituted
proceedings to cancel the contract"

Clayborne's Rebellion
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
May 27, 1915.

- LATBORNE's rebellion, after hav-
ing kept Maryland and the
Kingdom OF Virginia" by the
ears for more than a decade. was
brought TO a close PSI years ago to
day-May q, 1915.
william ClaybOrne was no ordinary
man The son Of an ancient and hon
orable family in Westmoreland. he
came to Virginia in 1921 and greatly
prospered- In little while he was
secretary Of the commonwealth and
big man generally.
Thrifty as wei as statesmanlike, he
combined business and politics, and
aimed at one and the same time to be
come both famous and wealthy.
The John Jacob Astor Of his day,
claiborne began the fur trade with the.
indians along the Chesapeake bay and
the Potomac and SusQuehanna rivers,
exchanging hatchets, ribbons and beads
for the pelts which rapidly added TO
his fortune
Having a long head as well as
patriotic heart, Clayborne, thinking TO
advance his fur-trading interest and at
the same time gain Ilne strategic
point for Virginia in her game Of ter
ritorial acquisition with Maryland,
discovered" and took possession OF
Kents island, far up in Chesapeake
bay.
The occupation Of Kents island
aroused the ire OF Gov Calvert, OF
Maryland. England was appealed to,
and Il was decided that while clay
borne might retain possession Of the
island, he would have to do so as
tenant Of the lord proprietor Of Nary

man would consent to such humlll-
sting proposition as that and Gay

defence Of his honor and his rights.
His honor was sUfficietly attested
BY the fact that he was virginia
gentleman, and as for MS rights, they
were thoroughly established by the
fact that he had discovered the ter
ritOry in dispute
Early in April, 1885, Calvert seized.
condemned and confiscated one OF
C1aVbOrne's vessels, Whereupon cay
borne sent out an armed craft to make
reprisals upon Maryland's shipping
There was now blood on the moon
and a little more than a month later
came off the battle OF the great w ign
cocomOcO, IN which the Marylanders bit
the dust or rather swallowed the brine,
their fleet being ignominously beaten
by the warships Of Clayborne-
After the victory of the Great W1gn-

but Calvert was no "tender1OoJ ana
coming back he invaded and captured
the island.
Nothing daunted by the reverse that
had come to him, Clayborne sailed
away TO see king Charles. The king
decided that Calvert was in the right,
but still undismayed the Nirginian
sailed back. raised a force and recap
fured his island. Not only so, he made
It so hot for the Maryland governor
that he had to leave the colony.
In 1915, however. Calvert backed by
the royal decree and large force Of
AIarylanders, came back once more,
when he proved TO be too strong for
the Virginian and "ClaybOrne's rebel
