bandana handkerchief. white handl-
cd pocket knife. a package OF tobacco
some cigarette papers and matches
were also found.
The jury returned n verdict OF an
unknown man who had met death
from an unknown cause at an un-
known time. but II was the opinion
the body had been there for al least
five years.
Speculation ns to who the man was
and how he met death has been In
dulgcd In by several OF our citizens
but no solution OF the mystery has
come To bc taken as right. Some
think the man was murdered and
buried where the body was found !:
others suggest that he might have
been intoxicated and wandered out
there and died from exposure: an
other theory IN that the man may
have been walking on the cmbank-
ment when II caved on and In the
fall the leg was broken and the sand
covered him so completely that he
smothered.

for Portland. At the time OF their
departure there was very few who
knew the object OF the trip. but II
has since developed that they were
before the executive committee OF
the Oregon State Chamber OF Com
merce for a continuous session OF a
couple OF days or more and that dur
ing their stay In the metropolis they
had the privilege OF attending "a
Northwest Rivers and Harbers con-
vention. The latter is something
new for q big dry interior country
to take part In but Il 10 quite appar-
ent that they were recognized as
there was a resolution introduced
and favorably acted upon endorsing
the movement to tie up the dead
ends" OF the railroads In Central
Oregon.
The primary object OF the trip was
to place the real facts concerning
the proposed Roosevelt Bird Refuge
before the State Chamber OF Com
merce and the citizens OF Portland.
This was accomplished. The news
papers OF that city. with the possi-
ble exception OF the Telegram. will
from this time until election give
the real facts concerning this foolish
bill and use their influence TO de-
feat Il.
Addison Bennett, the we'll known
writer for the Oregonian. came back
with the delegation last evening aud
will gather first hand information
for publication In that paper. The
editors Of the Journal have signi-
fled their intention to give the mat
ter publicity and invite contributions
from this section showing the true
state Of AFFAIRS.
II appears that Mr. Finley con-
tinues TO misrcprcsent the conditions
and is determined to have the voters
Of Oregon give TO the reserve valu-
able la'ds tha' mean thousands

school children OF the state and fur
iher than that-retard the develop
ment ot thousands OF acres OF land
that should have the benefit OF water
for irrigation.
When tho Burns men placed the
actual facts before the people down
there they readily saw II would be
dangerous 10 cede these lands and
the lake TO the government under
the conditions provided In the pro-
posed bill because II might cause
complications.
The fact that the State Land
Beard sees the danger of this bill
and the further fact that the teach
ers OF the schools OF Harney county
have entered protests against this
proposed measure shows conclusively
that II has the opposition or the very
people who are best qualified TO
stand for the rights OF the school

BE- given heed.

Preamble: We. your Committee
on Resolutions In Institute assembl-
cd at Burns. Oregon. In the Public
School Building. Oct. /. beg leave to
present the following resolutions--
First: For your consideration. the
subject of Teacherage. The hous-
ing OF teachers In various parts OF
the state has brought about n con-
ditlon which we think demands that
tho districts furnish some suitable
place Ia which tho teachers OF the
various districts may be- housed. We.
therefore. suggest that t9is Institute
indorse n clause IN the school law
which will give Boards the power TO-
provide such suitable conditions for
their teachers. and. also. suggest
that thc~<sachers throughout the
State Of oregon use their Influence
with their Representatives and sena-
tors towardssthc in,rod uction OF such
u bill.
second. In the matter OF ths Com
munlty Health Nurse. we wisn to In
dorse the work already done aud
aok for a continuance OF tbs same
80 the s,pense OF the County. We
understand that the fund nocossarJ
for tho continuance OF this setcivr
will call TOR an expenditure OF $4,000.
per annum aud transportation We
therefore. ask that the County Court
provide for this item In the annual
budget.
Third: We wish 10 urge that the
board os Directors for the County
Fair provide for an Educational De-
partment IN which the districts OF
the County may place their work aud
that suitable prizes be awarded for
the best display In every line of en-
deavor.
Fourth: We. further wish to In
dorse In these Resolutions our OBJ
lection 10 the passage OF the law ced-
ing the Maiheur Bird Reserve. or
the Roosevelt Bird Reserve 10 the
Federal Covenant. We believe
this trritory should be retained by
the state and for the uses of the
state.
Fifth: We suggest that the teach
ers indorse the work that has been
done and support that work that Il
being done by the Oregon State
Teachers Association In behalf OF The
teachers and the educational stand
ards OF the state.

pie of Burns for their hospitality e

The Pontine Marshes constitute the

the seashore of this strange volcanic

ESTABLISHED
ONE AMONG THE MANY OF THE
SALVATION ARMY SERVICES FOR
THE HELPLESS.

Atlanta, Ca May 5.-One of the
most important features OF Salvation
Army operations throughout the Unit
ed States is the search for missing per-
sons which is carried on through the
department OF inquiry and investiga-
ton at the headquarters in New York
City.
Since the cessation of hostilities in
Europe the work of this department
has increased more than 100 per cent,
according to to Information received
at the southern headquarters of the
Salvation Army in Atlanta.
The bureau now deals with more
than 5000 cases annually and reports
an unusually high percentage Of sue
cessful investigation. Officers in charge
of the work attribute its doubling to
two main causes. These are the wide
publicity that has been given the Sal
walton Army because of its wartime
activities, and the resumption Of rela-
tions with all parts of Europe which
have been disrupted for five of six
years.
point to the more general understand
ing OF the work and aims of the Or
ganization resulting from its war work
last year. People have been told what
the army is doing and now realize that
it's services are available to them with
out stint.
The investigation and inquiry car
ried on by this department is open to
all persons and all are invited TO avail
themselves Of it. The only charges
made are to cover the cost of notices
inserted in the War Cry. Like prac-
tically all the work Of the Salvation
Army it is not self-supporting but is
maintained year by year through the
home service fund. To recruit this
fund to the point where the army's
work may be carried on for another
year a sio,OO0.000 appeal to the nation
will be made May 10 to 20.
