October 2-Ehzabeth Montagu

One hundred and ninety-five years ago
today Elizabeth Montagu was born in
York. England AS n child she had q
great fondness for things literary and II
Is remembered that at the age OF she
had copied the whole Of Addison's Spec
tator" into her copybook. a performance
which showed more admiration for liter
ature than originality.
She was high spirited and fond Of dane
Ing and, beca use of her restlessness.
was called "Fidget" She was also fat
handsome and merry" At the age of q
she married a serious-minded man of
great wealth who later became a member
of Parliament He was exceedingly fond
of the study of agriculture and mathe-
matics.
After the death of her only child and
the death of her mother. Lady Montagu
sought diversion in society and. fnoIng
that she had decided gifts as leader.
she opened a fine house on Hill street.
London. where she gathered about her
the leading literary lights OF London at
that time.
Il never invite idiots to my house.
Lady Montagu once said. and there was
truth in the statement. For fifty years
her house was the rendezvous for a re.
markably brilliant group Of men and
women, including such names as Sir
Joshua Reynolds. DR.. johnson. Burke.
Garrick. Horace Walpole and Lord Lyt-
tleton.
Lady MontaSu was the original blue
stocking" at least the term was first
applied to the women who frequented her
drawing-room. There are two explana-
tions given to this. 1t may have been
because the ladies themselves wore blue
stockings following the fashion set by
the famous French beauty. Nine. de
Po!ignac. who frequented Lady Mon
tagu's drawing-roorn. or because the men
wore blue cotton stockings in defiance Of
the convention that called for black
stockings at all formal entertainments.
At first Lady Montagus parties were
confined to literary breakfasts. but later
she gave dinners Here was strict rule
against whist and 1t Is said that her in
fuence did much to substitute literary
discussion for whist and quadrilles In
London society.

TOO MANY HOLIDAYS.

The latest suggestion IN the way OF
holiday is American Indian day, to
be celebrated the second Saturday in
May. The patriotic Indians who pro-
pose this would make of the day a
public holiday when Americans could
stop and give honor to the only in
habitants OF the land who are in
every sense OF the woNd "Americans."
OF course the idea is a good one and.
when you stop to think OF it, it does
seem a little unfair that we have ncv-
or set aside an Indian holiday before
this
Rnt truly doesn't it seem as if there
arc to- many holidays as it is? Our
Colon ancestors were content with
three four holidays a year aside
from Sunday. In Puritan New Eng
land, IN fact, Christmas WASN'T even
observed as day OF leisure. There
was no Lincoln's birthday and no
Washington's birthday, for those
patriots had never been born, and
there was ne election day, for no one
had dreamed OF having Presidents.
The Fourth OF July was no different
from the fourth OF June or the fourth
uf August. Labor Day had never
l., Gil dreamed OF. Those were the
days vixen every day but Sunday was

MOORE ASKS
EXTENSION OF TIME
UPON HIS CONTRACT
Account Scarcity Of Money
! and No Water Power Can't
Develop Lakes

Claiming that, owing to the string.
ency of the money market at this time
due to the influence of the European
war and the impossibility to procure
power facilities on the Des Chutes river
to operate their concentrating plant
and pump the water to the plant
through the long pipe nne from north.
ern Lake county, Jason G. Moore,
through his attorney, Chester A. Shep.
pard, of Portland, has made application
to the state land board for an extension
of the time for beginning the develop
ment of the mineral resources of Sum
mer and Albert lakes and for filing his
surety bond Of $25,0Ju until January l.,
1917.
The state land board but recently
made special dispensation in favor Of
Mr.. Moore and granted him an exten.
sion of 60 days in which to complete
his part of the agreement with the state
under his lease to extract the salts and
sodium contents of the two mineral
lakes, and this extension expires next
Monday. Whether or not the board will
grant further extension as prayed for
under the new petition is problematical
and the matter will probably come up
for consideration at special meet.
ing of the board this afternoon.
Mr.. Moore represents in his new pet.
tion that the lease and contract with
the state was made upon the verbal
guarantee of the local engineers Of the
company which proposed to develop wa.
ter power upon the Des Chutes river
that they could furnish Moore's com.
pany with all Of the power necessary
to carry out his project, but this water
power project has failed and he is left
without resources in this respect. Fur
ther that the money market of the east
is inrsueh Q state that itwould ~ irs
possible for him to realize upon his
financial plans in relation to the scheme
at this time, doubling even il he would
be able to secure the $4,000 bonds re
quired if compelled TO do so now, and
believes that the war will be ended by
! January |, 1917, year and half from
now, when money will be easy to secure
Moore has q cash bond of 10000 uJ
with the state land board as a guarante,
Of faithful performance of his part OF
the contract, which was that 0ctua
work was to have been begun on th,
project within 30 days after the session
(already extended go days. and thii
bond was to be supplemented by sure
ty bond Of $4,000 in the meantime. Il

WELSH MINERS REFUSE
TO Return TO WORK
More Than l25,OOO Men De-
fly Government To En-
force Munitions Act

Cardiff, July 16-With every colliery
in South Wales paralyzed by the walk.
out of miners, the Welsh coal strike as.
sumed more serious proportions today
when the men stood solidly behind tn,
vote of their representatives and re.
fused to return to work pending art
tration.
Except for 500 men, representing
about half of the Albion colliery, every
miner in South Wales was idle today.
More than l25,OO0 men refused to re.
turn to the mines, defied the govern.
ment to enforce the munitions act and
brought the government face to face
with one of the most serious internal
problems since the opening of the war.
The executive council met today to
discuss the truce proposed by the gov.
ernment. Members of the council plod.
ded through u downpOur Of rain for the
meeting while throughout the coal
fields the men gathered to discuss the
utmuuus maui upOu lut employers. II
Is expected that following the meet
ing of the council here Representatives
of the men win go 10 London for q
conference with Walter Runciman, pres.
ident of the board of trade. Runciman
will endeayor to reacn terms with the
miners for truce while the government
endeavors to bring tho employers and
miners to terms.
A majority of the most prominent
labor leaders are opposed to the strike
and are hopeful that some sort of an
agreement may be reached before the
first of next week so that the mines
may be re-opened at that time. 1t is
realized that the government has been
placed in serious position and that the
full force of the munitions act may be
expected to be exerted unless work is
resumed, For the protection of the navy
surplus supplies of coal have been re
Questioned and this may be followed by
more drastic acticn.
Investigators appointed by the gov
ernment today declared the miners had
been misled by radicals and that if per
mitted to take secret vote they would
favor returning to work, pending arbi
tration
