Immigration currents shaping Pacific coast settlement patterns
The piece argues Pacific coast immigration will favor ports from Portland to Seattle as steamship fares standardize across coast points. Northern Europeans may prefer the Northwest for climate, drawing Norwegians Swedes Germans and Britons. Italians and French likely favor California. It also covers political controversy in Oregon over Governor West and the game commission and mocks The Oregonian’s 99 to 1 accusations, plus an aside on Shakespearean tours and a Secretary McAdoo dancing anecdote.

Observers doubted the claim yet confirm at least two trees exist, including a large one at Wood Street corner in Cheapside.

Literature and Life in a Changing Reading World
In Philadelphia Telegraph commentary librarian emeritus John Edmonds argues current writers face censure and tastes run upside down. He notes classics gather dust while contemporary works flourish, yet history repeats as each era favors its own literature and methods, with Dickens and Reade once seen as ultramodern challenging evils via penny dreadfuls.
