CLIMATE NOT CHANGING
SAYS WEATHER BUREAU

The fact that the past two years
have been unusually mild In most
parts of the United States has led to
considerable discussion as to whether
this portion Of the earth Is undergo
ing a general change Of climate. The
weather bureau, United States depart
ment Of agriculture, says, however,
that records can be furnished which
disprove this idea. Periods have oc-
cured In the past and will occur
again, when for a few years, the
weather has seemed or will seem to
be noticeably warmer or colder than
the average.
While there are well-recognized al
formations in climatic codnitions, as

ternational and interstate demonstra
ton will be staged that will break
into print everywhere that people pay
attention to highway work.
The state highway committee, com.
posed of Governor L. F. Hart, trea.
surer C. L. Babcock, and Auditor G.
W. Clausen, has just completed an
inspection of the paving work be-
tween Toledo and Kalama, that is to
be competed during the coming sum.
mer. Highway Engineer James Al
len, after having checked up the
stock piles of sand and gravel that
are on hand and gone over the plans
for delivering cement to contractors
on the ground, believes no delays can
possibly occur unless the weather
should be unusually bad. ~
Orders will be issued that the paw
ing shall be completed by August l.,
and after being given month to set,
it can be opened to traffic early in
September.
This years meeting of the state
good roads association has been
called for Olympia, and the date will
be fixed SO that the pavement will
be certain to be ready to be thrown
open for traffic. 1t is planned to
bring good roads workers from British
Columbia to attend the Olympia meet,
ing and a delegation from Oregon
will be invited to be present. After
the Olympia session, which viii be
made as brief as possible, the good
roads workers Of two states and Brit
ish Columbia will drive over the Pa
cific highway from Olympia, formally
open and dedicate the portion be-
tween Toedo and Kalama and then
go on into Portland for another joint
demonstration. 1t is believed this
demonstration can not fail to attract
nationwide attention.

Gives Indian Relics
to the State College

A large collection of valuable inter.
esting Indian relics has just been do
mated to the museum of the State
College of Washington by w. N. Suks-
dorf of Bingen, Wash, as a memorial
to his. brother Phillip. WHO gathered
them from the bed of the Columbia
river at low water near the remains
Of the Bridge of the Gods, famous in
legendary tradition and history of the
northwest.
What happened at the Cascades of
the Columbia in that distant past,
do not know Of course" says Mr..
Suksdorf, "but 1t seems safe to say
that at one time the river was much
lower than it is today, and that it
was quite suddenly damned up where
the Cascades now are. The many
stumps of trees In the river from the
locks up to here and still farther up,
tell the story. Many Of the stumps
are still in the water when the river
is very low, so that the level at
which they grew when they were
trees is seldom exposed.
my brother Philip, who died some
years ago, knew Of several places
where that ancient surface became
partly exposed when the river was
very low, and found many Indian
relics there-hammers, and other
things, mostly made Of stone. No
doubt these were left there by In.
dams who lived on the river bank
before the stream was damned up at
the Cascades. My brother had quite
a large collection of those things when
he died. 1t was his wish that this
collection be given to some institu
ton where 1t might be useful fol
study of the history of the Indian
tribes Of the region"
The Oregon State Historical 80
ciety wished the collection, but Mr.
Suksdorf felt that his brother would
prefer it to remain in Washington, and
SO has given it to the State college
museum.

in earlier historic times. 1t is also be-
ieved that the amount of change, if
any, is too small and the extent Of
territory involved too indefinite to be
of economic interest. Until definite
knowledge is available concerning the
law of sequence Of weather conditions,
and possible periodic cycles affecting
the weather are quantitatively estab-
lished, scientific long-range forecast
ing is impracticable.

ly important decision. He loved
Gloria Tuyl OF that he was positive.
She was the girl of his dreams. She
personified all that he had hoped for
in those dreary days at home. She
was the fulfillment of his long-felt
need. No more drudgery. No more
thought of long underwear. No more
sulphur and molasses. No more nag
ging. No more thought Of age. All!
That was the happiest thought Of all.
He'd never return to that old fogey
way of living That was gone forever.
He smiled, and arose. He walked to
his writing desk, extracted paper and
began to write.
Into that letter he poured out to
Mary his final resolve. She had
grown old before he had wished It,
She no longer wished romance. She
no longer cared to watch the birds
mating and the moonlight and the
babbling brook She no longer cared
to hear the happy voices of young
sters. She was old He held 1t was
only honorable that he should let
her know all He did not feel that
he ought to say he no longer cared
for her He merely would have to
confess that he had found the things
which to him meant more than the
colorless experience of the weary days
through which he had passed during
the last few years of their life to-
gether He was writing fast. He
wished to include all-all In his one
letter and have it over.
He finished 1t and signed 1t. Then
he placed it in a large envelope and
laid it before him. He called his
valet and told him to place special
delivery stamp on it. Then he took
it and made ready to mail 1t down.

it's way at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
John Emerson hesitated, then sat
down heavily In his big, easy chair
and reflected Instinctively his eyes
turned slowly and found their way
around to the framed picture Of Mary
on the table across the room. He rose
to go to 1t, and his telephone rang.
Answering it, he found it was Gloria
calling to ask him to come early 10
they might join theater party later.
"You dear girl" he said as he
finally hung up his receiver.
And then he gathered his dinner
suit, hurriedly put it on, allowed the
valet to rearrange his tie and brush
hit hat, then, with the letter to Mary
in his hand he made his way down to
! the street. &c. ia
| At the first corner mail box was
waiting to receive this important
document between husband and
wife. John approached 1t slowly, pull
ed down the little lid and placed the
letted on 1t. But he failed to release
it. Instead he drew 1t back a moment,
looked at it carefully, gazed into the
distance and stood quite silent and
still. Then, with a slight nervous
movement of his head, he once more
opened the box. A passerby, his
hands filled with evening mail to be
deposited, pushed Johns letter
through the aperture, and 1t was
gone. He turned, whistled lightly,
and directed his steps toward the
home of the Tuyls where gay and
brilliant dinner party already had
assembled.
