LECTURE
MUCH ENJOYED

Before small but very interested
audience in the high school auditori-
um last evening, William L. Finley,
state biologist and one of the fore
most students in the country of wild
life. gave an illustrated lecture on,
THE Birds and children" He was
brought here by the state fish and
game commission, his lectures being
in the interests of the propagation
and protection Of wild life.
Five reels were shown. The first
was entitled "Rambles With a Nat
uralist.' and vividly pictured the de.
velopment from the egg to the adul,
of the frog, newt, sandpiper humming
bird and the Hungarian partridge
The last named is the famous Euro.
pean game bird introduced into ore.
gOn four years ago and which has now
come to be very much at home in the
eastern part of the state as well as
in the Willamette valley
The main reel was the one show.
ing school children building bird
houses and placing them in garden,
and yards in order to attract feather
ed tenants. Views of birds living ir
the houses were also shown as thos,
of children making friends with the
birds.
Hunting Wild Animals With thu
Camera" was the title Of the third
reel 1t included pictures of cougar
kittens, bear cubs, young deer ant
elk.
The lie history of the salmon wa.
the subject of the fourth reel and the
fifth showed the home life of sea
birds and sea lions on the Three Arch
Rocks Bird Reserve on the Oregon
coast.
As the pictures were shown. Mr.
Finley very ably and Interestingly
called attention to the educational
value oS the different views. He
pointed out the necessity of securing
the cooperation of the people of the
state in order to prevent the extermi
nation of wild life. He also drew
particular attention to the difficulty
of keeping Oregon streams stocked
with fish by natural means and with
the aid of his pictures demonstrated
in forceful manner how the streams
could be kept stocked by means of ar.
tificial propagation.

VERBAL PACT CAN
MODIFY CONTRACT

written contract could be modified BY
verbal agreement but that such YER
bal agreement was subject to proof
Judge Phelps ended the legal battle
over that law point in the case of
Rogers VS., Maloney and permitted the
taking of testimony to be resumed.
Judge Maloney has been on the
stand this afternoon and has been
testifying to the verbal agreements
between himself and Mrs, Darr. owner
of the land, the lease of which is un-
der dispute. When he learned that
Mrs. Darr had been issued patent,
thus making the approval Of the gev-
ernment unnecessary. Judge MsIOney
testified he talked with Mrs, Darr
twice and that she agreed to make
the lease good and on tAree differ
ent occasions asked for and received
money on the lease.
Col. Raley, attorney for Rogers.
has entered objections to MalOney's
testimony on this point.

Training the Blind.

About four centuries ago the idea was
first conceived that the blind could be edu-
Gated through their sense of touch. Before
that there were refugees in which blind people
were cared for, but there was no effort to
relieve their condition; that was considered
hopeless. But in the early part of the six
teenth century carved wooden letters began
to be used for teaching the blind to read;
that was the beginning of the wonderful
system of education for the blind that is
doing so much today to make their sad con-
dition tolerable.
A Frenchman named Hauy has been called
the "father of education for the blind. ;"
He once saw blind boy trying to decipher
the letters on some printed matter that bore
an unusually heavy impression. That gave
Hauy the idea of printing in raised relief
Of course if the best results are to be OBJ
tanned, the education of blind people must
begin as early as possible; generally speak
ing, the wonderful attainments that we read
of occur among blind persons who have had
painstaking care from childhood. And yet
wonderful results have been reached with
persons who have lost their sight late in life,
No one who has become blind should think
of his case as hopeless.
A certain lady who saw perfectly until she
was more than forty years of age was in her
youth famous cook, and for years after
she lost her sight she continued to cook,
as well as ever. The same lady can also do
plain sewing, write notes with the aid of a
line guide. and pack and unpack her own
trunks, for she carries the place of each
article in her memory.
Among the industries that blind people
successfully practice are piano-tuning, mas
sage, hand weaving, basket-making, type
writing and stenography and telephone oper-
ating. A good many blind boys and girls
are going through college today, and some
of them have taken high degrees both in
America and Europe. The blind can excel in
gymnastics, and they should be encouraged
to do so, because the tendency of sightless
persons, especially those who have become
blind after childhood, is to lead too seden-
tary life.-Ex.

Civil War Figures

In the course of the civil war, in round
numbers, 100000 men enlisted on the
Union side and about 100000 on the
Confederate. The total number of deaths
in the northern armies was 800, 282; no.
900, men were killed outright or MORALLY
wounded in battle. Of those killed out
right on the field of strife the total was
,058. 1t is not known how many Con-
federates gave up there lives, but it is be-
lieved to range between $50, 900 and $780,
600 from all causes, of whom 1000 lost
their lives as direcrt result of battle. The
cost of the war to the United States gov
eminent, not including pensions, was 49,
$50, 900, 900, the Confederate government
spending perhaps ST, 500, 600, 900, less than
half. The total number of soldiers surren-
dered by the different Confederate COM
manders in the closing campaign was 49,
600. In addition, the North had taken 90,-
600 other prisoners in the course of the pre-
vious year of whom one third were ex-
changed and two-thirds released. -Ex.

Flaws.

There is an old saw much beloved by our
epigrammatic forbears which runs in this
wise: "You can lead horse to the water
but you can't make him drink to which
may be added "You can lead man to prison
but you cannot make him think All of
which brings me to the subject in hand.
The sentencing of a wrongdoer to an insti-
tuition and the subsequent incarceration will
not, in itself, effect the reformation. Moral
reconstruction comes from within; it is not
to be externally applied like bandage.
The essential element in prison reform is the
conscious knowledge of shortcomings on the
part of the inmate. Till that is affected all
else is vain. The proposition narrows down
to this, "Get next to yourself"
Let me quote an incident: Not long ago
l visited large steel mill, where the various
parts of the railroad rolling stock were man.
ufactured; boilers, axles, wheels, couplers and
so forth. AS passed through the inspec-
ton room, heard foreman remark, cts
no use. That wheel will have to 60 back.
His remark drew my attention and glanced
at the wheel. In all outward appearances
it was sound and serviceable, so l said to
the foreman, "what's the matter with it? it
looks sound" He replied, Otis got flaw
in it. If passed it, 1t might hold up for
year; and again it might break under the
strain and kill fifty passengers. 1t will have
to be broken up and recast.'
And so with you and l. We had flaw
in our composition; we broke under strain;
and here we are, in process of recasting.
But the process will be worse than useless
without our cooperation. We must lend a
hand to the process; we must strengthen our
moral grain and eliminate the structural
flaws. Let us remember that no matter how
great the flaw it can be melted out of us if
we so desire. Put your heart in the refor-
nation and keep little. Did you ever play
pokeri Well the bet is up to you. Get next
to yourself.-The Pioneer.
