THE BIBLE IN AFRICA.
Il 10 Read There In f48 Languages and
Dialects.


On the continent Of Africa alone the
New Testament or parts OF 1t have
been translated into 14S languages and
dialects. The two latest additions are
Dabida, language Of British East
Africa, and Limba, the language of q
tribe in the hinterland of Sierra Leone.
Parts Of the New Testament have
actually been translated into pidgin
English, that strange lingo, half baby
talk and half slang, which is the chief
means of communication through all
the east.
The difficulties presented In translat-
ing the New Testament into this bar
barOus hotch-potch must have been
tremendous, but they have been sur
mounted.
Another language of the same sort
is Chinook. This consists Of about
two-fifths Chinook, twO-ffths red In
dian tongues and the rest English and
Canadian French. 1t Is the tongue Of
barter on the Pacific coast of Alaska
and the Dominion. At least $1,000 In
dams speak 1t, and lately st. Johns
gospel has been issued in this jarg0n
for their special benefit.
There Is also version Of the Scrip
lures translated into the primitive Ian
guage Of the head hunters of Borneo.
1t was made by German missiona-
ries, printed In South Africa, paid for
with British money and circulated in

PORTLAND WOMEN
HIKE TO CELLO

Mrs. Rodney G. Berger. Mrs. Emma
e. Sutherlin and Miss Ida M.O'Bryon,
all of Portland, who left Springdale
Tuesday morning of last week on hike
to Cello Falls, arrived here late Fri
day afternoon. The mixers camped the
first night at Multnomah Falls, the
second was spent at Cascade Locks and
the third at Sonny. Camp Friday night
was pitched at spring near the sum-
NIT of the ridge between here and Mo-
sier.
1--WE have had no exciting expert
ences," said Miss O'Byron. Portland
attorney, "and the largest animal we
have seen has been chipmunk. Sew
eral garter snakes have crossed our
path. We consider the most remarka-
BILE incident of our journey converse
tion we held across the Columbia at
Collins with my sister. Miss Sophia
O'Byron, who is postmaster there. Al
though the river is three quarters of
mile wide, we could hear each other
very plainly" .
While the three women have refused
numerous rides, two small boys, James
Solomon and Chester Ames, aged re-
spectively nine and 13 years, have Of
ten been sent on ahead with the camp
equipment by kindhearted motoring
parties.
On one occasion the women had to
backtrack two miles to get camera
that had been forgotten. Friday they
had forgotten their pail of silverware.
1t was so far back. according to Miss
O'Byron. that they had decided to
fashion some kind of wooden paddles
for substitutes. when party came by
in an automobile and delivered the
spoons and knives and forks. which
they had espied at the abandoned
camp.
The party will return to Portland by
boat today.

"The increase In the ACREAGE wage of
all train service employees" Mr.. Dunn
says. ''in the eight years 19O6-14 was
A per cent. and In sixteen years 30 per
cent. The increase in the average wage
Of the other 50 per cent. Of employees in
the same periods were 80 per cent. and
40 per cent The average wage Of the
100000 train service employees in 1914
was $1,253; of the other 1881 900 EN-.
ployees $6S7. The contrast between
the wages of the train service EN-.
ployees and those Of train dispatchers
and telegraph operators, station agents
and section foremen is especially strik-
ing. The working day Of dispatchers
and operators Is limited to nine hours
by federal law, but that Of station
agents and section foremen is ten
hours, and they must hold themselves
In readiness for duty at any time.
1.-THE demands of the train service
employees cannot be fairly granted un
less proportionate concessions are also
made to other railway employees, but
the railways cannot grant the demands
of the train service employees, much
less 25 per cent advance In wages to
all their employees, which would
amount to $320,OOOO0O a year with
their present freight and passenger
rates.
Most people are disposed to regard
sympathetically all movements Of
workingmen to improve their condi-
ton on the assumption that any ad
vantage labor may gain will be secured
at the expense Of capital No such as
sumption can be made I'm this instance
The proposed increase in wages would
necessarily result In advances In rates
and most or all Of 1t would, therefore be
borne, not by rich capitalists, but by
the 1O0,000,OOO people of the United
States. Probably so per cent. of all
the people of this country have smaller
incomes than the men in railway train
service, and 1t is impossible to find
under present conditions, any justifica.
ton for large advance in the income
Of this relatively well paid class mainly
at the expense Of that much larger part
Of the public which Is nowhere near as
well Off"

SITE OF the CAPITAL.
Washington In the Days When Jehn
Adams Was President.

Washington In the Days When Jehn
Adams Was President
When Adams came into the prest-
dency the stately obseivances OF
washington's day were not allowed to
lapse. Even transplanting the seat Of
government from Philadelphia to the
unfinished town on the Potomac had
served only to jolt and rather humor-
ously distort them. With the chill Of
new plaster pervading the executive
residence, Mrs. Adams despaired OF
getting sufficient wood cut either for
love or money from the growing trees
surrounding it to fill its yawning fire
places and dispel the dampness. She
put the great audience room to the
only use Its unfinished condition per-
mitted-drying the presidential linen.
Looking from its unglazed windows
over the small and scattered groups Of
houses, all that had yet materialized
Of L'Enfant's imposing plan, she re-
fiected that their inhabitants must
subsist like fishes, by eating each 9TH
er. But she played her role Of presi-
dents lady with spirit, maintained her
hours for levees and answered the
fishes" when they came to call that
she thought the new capital had a
beautiful situation.
1t had indeed Half way between
Maine and Georgia, at that time our
northern and southern boundaries; in
land, but at the head Of tide water

erous lines to cover a succession Of
hills upon which city once built could
not be hid, 1t was and seemed likely to
remain fairly central. Even the most
optimistic patriot could not foresee
how far that mythical reality, the cen
ter Of population, was to travel west
ward decade by decade during the next
century, unimpeded by war or misfor-
tune, until the city on the Potomac
was left upon the edge Of our great
country.-Helen Nieolay in Century.

Difference In Woods.

Timber is classed as hard or soft,
and the main point Of difference be-
tween the trees that produce these
classes Is that the soft wooded tree
has needle leaves" slim, narrow and
almost uniform in breadth, while the
hard wood trees have broad leaves
of various shapes. Again, some soft
wood trees carry cones, such trees be-
ing termed conifers. Resin, too, is
more characteristic Of soft than Of
hard wood. To the class Of soft woods
belong the pines, spruces and frs, and
the most common examples Of these
are yellow pine, white FIR, pitch pine
and spruce or red FIR. In the common.
er hard woods are oak, beech, mahog-
any, ash, walnut, plane. elm, birch and
ebony.

Rules for Country Correspondents

One OF the most valuable assets a
country weekly can have is that cooper
alton from clever and energetic county
correspondents. The news of the county
should be covered by good correspon-
dent in every community. The brief,
newsy letters from the rural centers are
the making of country weekly.
The Glacier feel like congratulating
itself on the list OF good, live news gath
erers, who each week fill many columns
with readable news of local happenings.
AS far as the real gathering OF the news
is concerned there could be no great inn
provement. However, there are some
lew, simple rules that could be followed
benefically. If country correspondents
will observe the following, the page OF
country items viii be more attractive
and can be set by The Glacier without
innumerable annoyances that sometimes
arise when the rules are not observed.
Always secure, where possible, initials
of persons. Don't say Mrs. Smith and
daughters visited Mrs. Brown and fam
lily. If it is Mrs John Smith or Mrs. A.
A. Smith, designate them by their
proper initials or given name.
Always give definite dates.
Do not use authorizations, except in
case of given names.
In case Of a fire, give cause, total dam
age and insurance, If any.
Remember The Glacier sets country
correspondents on Tuesdays. Endeavor
to mail your letter, so that it will reach
the Office by Tuesday morning. We'd
nesday is reserved for the setting of the
news happenings gathered In the local
Office, and If the country correspondence
piles up on Wednesday, the Office force
is badly hampered. little co-opera-
ton on the part of the country corre-
spondents will in many cases prevent
late hours for the Office force on We'd
nesdays.
If any important news happening
breaks in your community after your
letter has been mailed, you may reach
the Office by telephone, or you may mail
another letter, that is, if it will 6e possi-
BILE for it to reach the Office on Wednes-
day.
Don't hesitate to ask the Office for
suggestions.
If you are out Of stationery, notify
the office. In case it is not received i'm
mediately, send in another call. 1t may
be possible that your first letter was
misplaced. :.
Remember that your are in charge OF
one of the most beneficial mediums in
your community. The Glacier appreci-
ates your work as we'll as your fellow
residents, whose weekly comings and
goings you chronicle.
The most important rule is that con-
cerning promptness of getting your let
ter to the Office on Tuesday.

OLD MAN RETURNED
TO OREGON CITY

Marion Hahn, a 76 year old INDECENT,
who has been made a charity football
for the past several weeks by the
authorities of different Oregon cities,
was returned here Thursday afternoon
by officials of Clackamas county. On
arrival the old man was taken into
custody and Friday he was presented
with railway ticket and again started
on his way to Oregon City. Judge
Stanton says that the old man told him
Thursday that Clsckamas county paid
his way to Hood River the first time
he came. On his return from here the
first time. according to the old man,
the Clackamas county authorities
bought him ticket and sent him to
Portland. But he says he had no more
than set foot in Portland until he was
in the hands of Multnomah county off.
cials, who transported him back to
Oregon City, and it was then that
Hood River again became his destina-
tion.
A second call for help came to the
county court Thursday afternoon. from
T. W. Stockman, who says that he
came here from Portland to pick apples
for E. n. Shepard but who became in
capacitated for work because of ILL
ness. Judge stanton refused to assist
the old man, but offered to buy him a
ticket to Portland. The man refused,
however. to leave Hood River. The
authorities in Portland. he declared,
advised him to come to Hood River
county. where the climate would be
better for his health.
Judge Stanton says that he has writ
ten both to Clackamas and Multnomah
county officials telling them that he
has instructed police officers Of the city
to watch all trains and to investigate
in case new arrival is suspected of
becoming a charity patient.

"will be Immediately sent back to the
points from which they come"
