XL Capital, $500,000 PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1907. NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Event of the Past Week. Dowie's funeral sermon, written by himself, cursed his enemies. Harriman wants railroads excepted from Sherman anti-trust law. Finland has just held its first election under universal suffrage. The Japanese agreement has been carried out in San Francisco and Washington. Schmitz and Ruef, the San Francisco grafters, have lost every point so far in the courts. The total deaths due to the disaster on the French warship Jena has now reached 103. Speaker Cannon and other members of the congressional party at Parana express surprise at the amount of work that has been done on the canal. Ex-Senator Burton, of Kansas, will probably stay in jail an extra month because of his inability to pay his fine of $2,500. Homer Davenport will send one of his Arabian horses across the continent to prove the strong enduring powers of that breed. A cousin of the cartoonist will ride the animal. The improvement in Archie Roosevelt's condition continues. Paper manufacturers throughout the country will advance the price of their products soon. Roosevelt has told Governor Gillette that legislation by California will prevent Japanese exclusion. The strike of Portland millmen may close down some business houses that have need for many boxes. Stuyvestant Fish, who was thrown out of the Illinois Central presidency by Harriman, has gone to Gould. Fifteen passengers on a Los Angeles trolley car were badly injured by a Southern Pacific engine striking the car. A Chicago grand jury is after the so-called church and school furniture trust. The indictments charge the trust with controlling 80 per cent of the business of the country. One of the Japanese warships coming to Jamestown will have great attractions for naval men. It has a speed better than any of ours and was finished in less than two years after the keel was laid, which is better time than is made in American yards. The vessel was built by the Japanese. The people of Oklahoma are to vote on prohibition. M. Petkoff, the Bulgarian premier, has been assassinated. Nicaragua es accused of spying on the American minister. Premier Stolypin promises not to dissolve the Russian douma. Nicaragua is said to be prepacring a force with which to attack Honduras by sea. The Kansas house has passed the senate bill providing for 2-cent passenger fare. Russia and Germany will both oppose disarmament at The Hague peace conference.

Paris electricians have won their strike and the big city again has light and power. Michigan copper companies are pleading with the governor to allow them to form a trust so as to successfully fight their rivals. New Age POINT AGAINST HERMANN. Answered Letters, but Copies of Answers Not Found. Washington, March 15 — Evidence decidedly damaging to Binger Hermann was introduced by the government today in the trial of the ex-land commissioner for destruction of 35 letterpress copybooks, alleged to have contained official correspondence. Charles L. Dubois, chief of survey division; D. C. Sherman, formerly Hermann's financial clerk, and John S. Wile, another clerk in the land office, all identified several letters taken from the files of the land office, all pertaining to government business and all endorsed on the back, "answered by commissioner." They all agreed that this endorsement signified that Hermann himself dictated the replies and that his answers were press-copied in what were known as the commissioner's "personal" letter-books. It was also brought out by the government that careful search through the letter-books now in the land office failed to disclose copies of the answers to these particular letters, thereby strongly intimating that the letters must have been copied in the books destroyed by Hermann as charged in the indictment, and that the books, therefore, contained official correspondence. No stronger evidence in support of indictment has heretofore been given during the protracted trial. In fact, most of the evidence submitted up to this time has been designed to show a motive for the destruction of the books and had no direct bearing upon the actual charge contained in the indictment. Today's evidence is very strong in support of the indictment, and while it is circumstantial, yet leaves little doubt in the minds of those who have followed the case that Hermann's so-called "private" letter-books in fact contained much correspondence relating to the business of his office. MAY PROMOTE IMMIGRATION. Government Will Not interfere With Movement of Southern States Washington, March 15.—Information received today renders it clear that the immigration authorities, as one result of the several conferences recently held, in which the president, Secretary Straus, Attorney General Bonaparte, Commissioner of Immigration Sargent and prominent men of the South have participated, will interpret the existing immigration law as it was interpreted in the South Carolina case. The attorney general has held that the immigrants landed at Charleston, S. C., last November, are legally in the country. They were induced to come to America by authorized agents of South Carolina and the passage money for some, at least, of them was paid by the state, and others by contributions of the citizens. Several other Southern states have decided to seek immigration along the same lines as were followed by South Carolina and it is understood they will not be interfered with. CHANGES CANAL BOARD. Roosevelt Receives Resignations and Appoints New Members. Washington, March 15.—The president today received the resignations as members of the Isthmian Canal commission of Rear Admiral Endicott, Brigadier General C. P. Haines and D. M. Harrod, to take effect tomorrow. To fill the vacancies he announced the appointment of John F. Stevens as chairman of the commission to succeed T. P. Shonts, and as commissioners Lieutenant Colonel Goethals, Majors Gaillard and Siebert, Civil Engineer Rosseau, Dr. Gorgas and Jackson Smith. Ex-Senator Blackburn will have to await the retirement from the commission of Mr. Stevens about April 1. Enjoins New Copper Deal. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 15.—Judge Knappen, of the United States Circuit court, today admitted that yesterday he issued a restraining order for bidding stockholders of the Calumet& Heica Mining company from holding a meeting to vote proxies in the Osceola company, and hearing on an injunction was set for March 25. Judge Knappen refused absolutely to discuss the matter. The action before Judge Knappen was instituted by Mr. Boynton, attorney for the Bigelow interests in the Osceola mine. Sell to Insurance Company. Milan, March 15.—In the town of Borsano, near this city, 2,000 persons were today made homeless by a fire which destroyed the greater part of the village. The people were indifferent to the spread of the flames, because their property was insured, and the authorities were obliged to force peasants to work to check the fire. ROADS TO RETRENCH ROADS TO RETRENCH State Legislation Everywhere Is Having Its Effect. RETALIATION NOT THEIR AIM Claim It Prudence to Stop Construction Until They Know Where Money Is Coming From. Chicago, March 14.—Railroad presidents agree that the general disposition all over the country to attack the roads by means of hostile bills has reached a stage where some decided action must be taken or the country will suffer severely. As a matter of fact, the roads already have suffered tremendous losses, but eventually the heaviest burden will fall upon the public in diminished and inferior service, general retrenchment, cheaper equipment and the abandonment of extensions which would develop new country. The greatest danger, according to all authorities, lies in the great crop of two-cent rate bills, regardless of the conditions in the states adopting the bills. In the East it is possible to maintain good service at this rate. In the West it is not. Benjamin Winchell, president of the Rock Island system, probably best epitomizes the sense of all the replies received to messages sent all presidents asking for an opinion on present conditions and what was necessary to reduce the danger of poorer service. Mr. Winchell says: "If the Interstate Commerce commission does its work wisely and sanely, as I believe it will do, the railroads have nothing to fear. They will get even justice, which is all they ask. I am relying on the sound sense of fairness of the American people to stop before the situation becomes acute financially. It is a mistake to say the railroads are retaliating by reducing their service and abandoning great enterprises. It is simple prudence, a bowing to the storm. We are forced to stop building new lines, buying cars and other equipment until we know where the money is coming from. It is simple business sense, and not retaliation. "I am heartily in accord with the plan for railroad presidents to confer with President Roosevelt. We must take the public more into our confidence and break down the distrust. Cooperation with the government in laudable reforms is a good thing." HOPE TO RECOVER THE MONEY Treasury Theft Has Not Yet Been Returned, However. Chicago, March 14.—"If the man who got the $173,000 from the subtreasury will send it back through the mail or by express, the chances are that he never will be detected." This observation was made yesterday by a high Federal official working on the disappearance of the money, and it represents the hope of the government authorities, so far as can be learned from anyone engaged in the investigation. The hope that the money would be returned in some mysterious fashion failed to materialize. Deputy Treasurer Bantz admitted for the first time that there is a remote possibility that the cash in the subtreasury is not $173,000 short. He made it with a reservation. Defects Found in Dreadnaught London, March 14.—According to the Chronicle today, the official accounts of the Dreadnaught's behavior on her trip to Trinidad are not altogether supported by private letters. The engines worked well, but the heat in the engine room exceeded anything ever experienced by those on board. Owing to the great size of the ship, her maneuvering qualities at slow speed were not equal to those of small ships. It is stated that the big battleship cannot keep her station with reciprocating ships at 20 knots, and that for night maneuvering without lights, in close formation, the ship is out of the running. Will Carry Out Agreement Washington, March 14.—Following the receipt of a telegram tonight from President Walsh of the San Francisco board of education, announcing the carrying into effect of the agreement between the president, Secretary Root, the San Francisco mayor and school board on the Japanese question, President Roosevelt tomorrow will sign the passport amendment of the immigration bill. The case pending to test the constitutionality of the law segregating Japanese children, will not be dismissed. Pennsylvania Streams Swollen. Pittsburg, March 14. Dispatches from all sections of Western Pennsylvania report heavy rains last night and rapidly rising waters. Streams are already beyond their banks and much territory is submerged. NO. 47. GRAFT IN IRRIGATION. Officials and Contractors in Idaho Work Suspected. Boise, March 13.—Evidences of graft in the arid land reclamation service of the government has been discovered and is now in possession of the department of the Interior at Washington. Action looking toward a number of indictments is anticipated. The principal evidence, so far as disclosed here, relates to grafts in Idaho, but it is said that similar conditions exist throughout the service and that officials in nearly all the Western states where irrigation work is in progress will have to answer. The Federal grand jury, now in session here, will probably take the matter up, so far as this state is affected, if the new secretary of the interior, James R. Garfield, says the word, and decides to furnish evidence now in his possession. Agents of the department have been conducting an investigation for some time. Their discoveries in Idaho are said to typify conditions in other places, and a reorganization of the department is said to be in prospect. The charges in general are that engineers and other officials of the department are "standing in" with favored contractors in some instances, and in other instances have thrown out bids in order to make commissions on the purchase of machinery by the government and to profit in other ways. In Idaho the Boise-Payette irrigation project has been under special scrutiny. Evidence has been secured bearing on the relegations of the contracting firm of Hubbard & Carlson, having headquarters at Boise, with certain department officials. It is charged in affidavits now on file that this firm has received many special favors and explanation has been asked of the reason for this. EXPLOSION ON WARSHIP. All France Appalled at Disaster on New Battleship. Toulon, March 13.—The powder magazines on board the French battle-ship Jena blew up at 1:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and as a result Captain Adigard, commander of the battle-ship; Captain Vertier, chief cf staff of the Mediterranean squadron, and from 70 to 80 bluejackets are dead, while Rear Admiral Mancoron and hundreds of men are suffering from injuries. Naval circles are agast and the public is stunned by the appalling catastrophe, coming so soon after the loss of the French submarine boat Lutin, in which 16 men met death. The entire after part of the Jena was blown to pieces. The bodies of the victims were hurled through the air by a succession of explosions and panic stricken workmen at the arsenal fled for their lives from the vicinity of the drydock. Scores on board the Jena jumped overboard on the stone quays and sustained serious injuries. The primary cause of the accident was the premature explosion of a torpedo. What caused the explosion is not known, but the powder magazines of the Jena were set on fire and the resulting explosions practically destroyed what was considered one of the best vessels of the French navy. The Jena had just undergone the final construction of her hull and machinery, the latter part having been partly overhauled preparatory to joining the squadron today. DAKOTA'S CREW PAID OFF. Sailors of Wrecked Steamship to be Sent Home. Yokohama, March 12.—The crew of the wrecked steamer Dakota has been discharged. The Europeans will be sent to America on the American steamer Tremont. The Asiatics will be sent to Hongkong. The majority of the passengers left here will take the steamer Siberia. Their hotel and other expenses were paid by the Great Northern Steamship company, owners of the Dakota. The American consul has sent $150 to the governor of Chibu prefecture for distribution among the fishermen who assisted in the rescue of the American passengers. No salvage measures have yet been taken. An official inquiry has been arranged, steps having been taken for the preservation of evidence. Captain Franke, of the Dakota, is still at the scene of the wreck, awaiting the decision of the underwriters. Uncle Sam to Make Torpedoes. Washington, March 13.—Admiral Mason, chief of the naval bureau of ordinance, has completed plans for the construction of a torpedo factory at the Newport naval station, and expects to advertise at once for proposals. This will be the first time the government has undertaken to make its own torpedoes on a large scale. The new factory will give emploment to at least 200 skilled workmen. It is proposed to make every part of the torpedo except the steel flask which contains the compressed air. Colon, Marsh 13.—The steamer Panama arrived today with 53 congressmen, who are desirous of inspecting the work on the canal.

Dairy schools are now in operation in many States, and short courses of instruction on butter and cheese making are given at some of the agricultural colleges. It was long ago demonstrated that inferior butter could not compete with oleomargarine, and that good butter of choice quality could always be sold at a fair price. The fact has also been demonstrated that there was much to learn in making good butter, and that cleanliness and the proper management of the milk were essential in producing the choice article. There has been a wonderful advance in methods of butter making, and oleomargarine is responsible for it. Consumers will not purchase the counterfelt article if they can get the genuine, and poor butter is as much a counterfelt as any other imitation. Cleanliness in the Dairy. Cleanliness in the Dairy. The Kansas Experiment Station says very truly, in a bulletin: Cleanliness is the first law which should be observed by every man who in any way manufactures or handles dairy products. Any condition which will promote this end effectively should be established. The simpler these conditions can be made the better. Unclean dairy utensils are among the greatest sources of contamination of milk. This contamination is due to the presence of undesirable bacteria. The undesirable bacteria are those that produce talts in milk, and which exist principally in fifth lodged on the surface and in the crevices of dairy utensils. They are minute organisms which have the power of multiplying very rapidly under favorable conditions. Feeding the Young Calf Milk. A dairy farmer of experience gives his plan of teaching young calves how to drink milk without trouble, and says in the Tribune Farmer that he lets the calf stay with the cow a few hours only, then he milks the cow in a few hours after removing the calf and puts the bucket of warm milk to the calf's nose so as to touch it, and in a minute or two it will drink, and the work is done. The calf has now learned to drink like other animals, and the trouble of feeding milk to calves is over. The mistake usually makes is in allowing young calves to run with the cow several days, and so it has learned to suck, and it is hard to teach it any other way. Negotiations for U. S. Cattle. The chief agrarian paper published in Berlin learns from a trustworthy source that the American tariff commissioners, who are now in Berlin conferring with the German tariff experts regarding German-American commercial relations, are discussing with them the importance of importing live American cattle into Germany, via Hamburg, where they will be slaughtered. The meat will then be conveyed to all parts of the country in railway refrigerator cars. The journal adds that negotiations are going on between various Hamburg shipping firms and the Hamburg authorities for the erection of the necessary buildings. Scrubby Fullbloods Denounced. A cattle breeder tells some sound truth in the following: Breeders of pure-bred cattle would doubtless make more money if they would keep to sell for breeding only those individuals that are expert judges would pronounce eminently worthy of duplication and fit all others for the block. The first alone would sell for more money in the aggregate than all of them would, and it would be better for buyers to pay the higher price the good animals would command. The poor, or scrub, fullbloods have created all the prejudice that now exists against "registered and pedigreed" cattle. If possible scatter the enlargement so as to avoid opening it. A stimulating liniment applied to the poll will probably be beneficial, therefore secure the following: Four ounces of turpentine, two ounces of tincture of lodine, two ounces of tincture catharides, six ounces of tincture capsicum, one pint of compound soap liniment. Mix up and apply to the parts daily until sore, then withhold for a few days and begin again. A cheaper liniment would be four ounces of alcohol, four ounces of eucalyptin and a pint of water in the same way. Ground flaxseed is sometimes found on the market, but in very limited quantities. If the pure flaxseed meal is desired it is probably best for the farmer to grow the seed and grind it himself. It is often used to replace the fat in skim milk fed to calves. Both flaxseed and linseed or oil meal are laxative in their nature and for this reason should not be fed alone, but should be mixed with other grains. Remember to Salt the Cows. The carefully kept cows on the Detroit dairy farm receive four ounces of salt daily mixed with their feed. They eat their food better, and the owner thinks they do better when they have this amount than when the allowance is smaller. The cows are fed three times a day, and the salt is divided between the three feeds. Increased Yield from Beets. According to estimates, the beet sugar production of the United States for the season of 1906-7 will exceed the yield of 1905-6 by nearly 22 per cent, the 1906-7 crop being figured, according to latest exhaustive compilations, at 845,000 tons of 2,240 pounds each. News emanating from sugar factories scattered throughout the entire country indicates considerably larger crops than those of the preceding season. FARMERS CORNER --- Pumpkin Sugar in Iowa. Sugar from pumpkins will be the next source of wealth which will be developed in Iowa, for the authorities at the agricultural college declare high-grade sugar will be made from them by a process even more simple than that required to make it from beets. Experiments have resulted in the production of a species of pumpkin which contains 4 per cent of sugar, and it is the prediction that in three years the sugar element will be increased to 12 per cent. This is equal to the quantity of sugar found in the best variety of sugar beet. Because pumpkins are easily raised and a tonnage may be produced to the acre which will exceed that of sugar beets, the new sugar pumpkin will open up a valuable field for the Iowa farmers. The pumpkins may be planted in the cornfields, and the same soil which will produce corn may be made to produce a crop of pumpkins at the same time.—American Cultivator. A Tree Guard. Very often young trees, maples especially, are entirely destroyed by cattle reaching up and pulling the tops Very often young pecially, are entirely the reaching up and down, even when the tops would seem to be out of reach. Of course, cattle should not be where young trees are planted, especially fruit trees; but it sometimes happens that this is not practicable. When this is the case use a guard such as is shown in the illustration. It is made as follows: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY Take two pieces TREE GUARD. of board (such as have come off some old building), say about 7 feet long, breadth between 8 to 12 inches. Leave one of these boards intact. Cut the other into three equal lengths, and nail into the top of the uncut board, as shown in the illustration. Sometimes, if the fence is high enough, a short board, the one facing the fence, can be left out, and a cleat used instead. The tree, before putting up the guard should be posted, and the guard nailed to this post. Best Sizes of Trees to Plant. We have always had the best success with planting out the medium-sized tree. In apples, cherries and plums we would rather have a two-year-old tree, 4 to 6 feet, that is thrifty than any other size. Oftentimes the larger trees, 6 to 7 feet, do well when the conditions are favorable, but if the conditions are not favorable, following the transplanting of the trees of this size, they often get the backset from which it takes several years to recuperate, and the objection of planting out very small trees is that they are much more liable to be injured by rabbits and broken down by cultivation than the larger size. Twentieth Century Farmer. Storing Carrots or Turnips. Storing Carrots or Turnips. When carrots or turnips are stored outside they cannot always be reached when desired for use, and it will, therefore, be advantageous to store them in bins, in a dry cellar. If packed in perfectly dry sawdust, oats, corn, or even dry earth, they will keep well and can be taken out of the bins at any time. It is the alternate freezing and thawing that damages all root crops stored away in winter, but as the packing material keeps them at even temperature this liability is avoided. The oats or corn used for the purpose will not be injured, and may be fed while using the roots coming from the bln. Chevlot Sheep. A Wisconsin man writes as follows of the Cheviot breed of sheep: The Cheviot breed of sheep is a comparatively small breed of a semi-mountainous character. They are sprightly and very active in their habits and are possessed of a fair mutton form, being low down and compact. The fleece is long and in fineness excels any of the down breeds. They are adapted to the more rough and broken sections of Wisconsin where the range is ample and pasturage scant. Farm Management FARM MANAGEMENT. The farmer reduces the value of his own labor by keeping inferior stock or falling to secure large yields of crops, as the higher the prices and the greater the production the better the remuneration for the labor bestowed. There are periods when the farmer cannot perform work in the fields, for which reason he should aim to get his crops under shelter as soon as possible, in order to do some kinds of work which can be performed inside the barn. Feeding Fowls. While it is well to compel the fowls to scratch in litter, when grain is allowed, so as to exercise, yet the soft foods should be supplied from troughs in order to avoid the fifth of the ground, the damp food easily accumulating dirt if thrown where the hens must walk over it and scramble with each other for their supply. Many cases of disease in flocks can be traced to the lack of cleanliness in the use of soft foods for poultry. Poll Evil. Ground Flexused L. R. MANNING, Pres. A. T. HOSMER, Secy' L. R.

One Year, payable in advance.....$2.00 Our Candidate for President JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Of Ohio EDITORIAL We suppose that nearly all readers of the New Age also read the Oregonian, and if so the following, taken from its leading editorial of a few days ago, will not be new, but it is good enough to be read the second time. Commenting on an article by Thomas Nelson Page, a persistent pessimist on the "race question," and one who labors hard (for pay, of course) to show how incomparably inferior the negro race is, the Oregonian says he is one of a group of Southerners "who have lost their wits entirely over the negroes." In his article in McClure's Magazine, Page uses the words "race" and "racial" 104 times, showing how "race" made he is; that he has "race on the brain." The Oregonian says, in part: "The race question has become a fixed idea with him. He can think of nothing else, apparently, and even upon this one paramount theme he cannot think rationally. At times Mr. Page's language becomes incoherent; throughout it is extravagant, boastful and wild. Most of the article is a vague sort of rhapsody, somewhat in the manner of Kipling, over the 'great white race.' "For one thing he resolutely implies from start to finish that all negroes who are lynched in the South have committed assaults upon white women. It is well known that this is not so. More than two-thirds of the lynchings are for crimes like theft and murder. From this incorrect premise he argues that the white men who do the lynchings are "in the skirmish line" that protects the whole white race from the peril of miscegenation. Mr. Page condemns them with feeble formality, but in reality he thinks they are doing a great service to civilization, since by burning and torturing negroes they protect the race purity of the whites. The fact that most of the lynchings have nothing to do with the 'social equality' problem does not disturb Mr. Page in the least. Having invented his premises, he stickles not to abide by his conclusion. In Jamaica, where negroes are more numerous in proportion to the whites than almost anywhere in the South, there is no outery about social equality, no mob rule, no torture. Also, one is happy to add, there are no Thomas Dixons and no Tillmans or Vardamans. The English rulers of the island have learned how to treat the negroes with simple and exact justice, and justice solves all the problems that arise. What it does in Jamaica it would also do in the South." After showing that if there is miscegenation the whites are wholly responsible for it and it is invariably the white males who indulge in it, the Oregonian concludes: "Like other writers of his class, Mr. Page assumes, without explicitly stating it, that we are on the eve of a war between the white and black races to prevent miscegenation. When that war breaks out, he informs the negroes, they will find all the whites united against them by the sacred ties of 'race.' The notion that such a war is possible could, of course, arise nowhere else than in the imagination of a Southerner inflamed with anger at the thought of his former slaves assuming the status of human beings. It is utterly maniacal. But if a struggle between the Southern whites and, blacks ever should arise, it is to be hoped that the people of the north, instead of taking sides with either party, would interfere promptly and effectually to put a stop to it. If the Southerners could only make up their minds to let the negroes alone, and think of something else for a while, the greater part of their troubles would vanish into thin air." If a lot of southern newspapers had the intelligence and candor to print such truths as these, instead of quoting approvingly such prejudiced and bigoted twaddle as men like Page write for pay, they would do much to lay the "race" bugaboo. If there shall ever be a race conflict, it will be brought about not by the negroes at all, but by these ranters and ravers on the 'race question.' FRED A. KRIBS. In this age of progress the creation and development of an idea is the keynote of success. It does not matter whether the work is in the realm of science, or art, or literature, or along the line of industrial accomplishment, the same principle obtains. It is therefore not surprising that the world has begun to look upon the successful man as a blessing to humanity. Who will say that the great empire builders, James J. Hill, Collis P. Huntington and E. H. Harriman have not been a blessing to their country? Yet their genius and activities were exerted in the direction of the creation and operation of great railway enterprises, but the development of the country contiguous to these enterprises was a natural consequence, and instead of a barren wilderness as before their coming, there is today a land rich in productive resources and teeming with millions of happy and contented people. The great Northwest, nature's richest storehouse, rich beyond the dreams of avarice, with its untold mineral wealth, its vast acres of fertile and productive soil, its wonderful preserves of game and fish, and its great forest reserves, invites today the attention of the world. Perhaps there is no section of the country where more attention is being given to the development of the timber industry, and certain it is that none is richer or more promising in this particular natural resource than Oregon, Washington and Idaho. When one thinks of timber or mineral lands in the Northwest the mind naturally reverts to the name of Mr. Fred A. Kribs, who is the pioneer dealer in timber and mineral lands throughout this section. He is generally credited as being the best informed man in his line in the West, and while he has sold and handled millions of acres, never has he advised an investment that has not proven profitable to the purchaser. Mr. Kribs does an extensive business, the growth of which is due solely to his honorable and straightforward dealings. He has as clients the cream of the trade, among them some of the largest investors in the country. Such a man as Mr. Kribs in such a country as this magnificent Pacific Northwest is a distinct and valuable benefit to it, because he helps to develop it. He brings the great opportunities and resources on the one hand and the men of capital and enterprise on the other hand together and the result is the development of the country, the manufacture of a great volume of products, the employment of a vast amount of labor, increase in commerce, cultivation and business of all kinds. Oregon has been greatly benefited by Mr. Krib's business activity. THE MAN FOR MAYOR. A few men are "talked of" for mayor on the republican ticket but so far only one, we believe, Mr. Devlin, has formally announced his candidacy. He will not have the field to himself, however, and the man who comes out last, if he happens to come up to the voters' idea of what the candidate should be, is as likely to win the nomination as the one who announced himself first. Somehow, perhaps for no very specific reason, voters generally do not regard Mr. Devlin, as quite the right sort of a man, not "big" enough, not of known large executive ability. It is believed that he has made a good auditor, though his office has been the subject of an investigation of become intolerably which no official report has been bearing to patron made, but a man may make a very his culminating man good auditor and not be fit for veiled accusation mayor. mayor one of its biggest, brainiest men. He should be a business man of large ideas and capacity. He should be a man who will not only faithfully execute the ordinances, but who is capable of taking the initiative in many matters of going ahead and being a real leader, not politically, but in the development of the city. He should be a man who has large, correct conceptions of what the city may be and should be, and who will do much to help make it so. He should be a man who will work in harmony with the council, but who will be "bigger" than any councilman and one who will compel the tacit acknowledgement of that fact. He should be a man of fine presence, a ready and brief speaker, and a man who does not want to be mayor just for what is "in it," who is afraid to spend a few dollars out of his salary, but on the contrary a man who thinks incomparably more of the advancement and good name of the city than of the mayor's salary. If no such man comes to the front, then the voters will have to pick from among the candidates the one who comes nearest filling the bill, and it is pretty safe to say that it will not be Mr. Devlin. DISTRICT ATTORNEY BRISTOL. The President has reappointed United District Attorney Bristol to the position he has so satisfactorily and ably filled since his first appointment, and he will hold his position till congress meets again next winter, when it is to be hoped Senators Fulton and Bourne will cease their opposition to his confirmation. There is and can be no really good reason why Mr. Bristol should not be confirmed. He has not only performed the heavy and important duties of his office with entire satisfaction to the government and the people, and with entire success, but it is well known that the opposition to him is founded on no good or sufficient reasons. Not only so, but there is the element of false pretense in it that does Mr. Bristol an undeserved injury, for the objections to him are not really based on anything against him as a man, a lawyer or an officer, but purely on political or factional grounds, and the people are not pleased with this sort of opposition to a good, able and faithful officer. Mr. Bristol will soon be engaged in the trial of several more important land fraud cases, and everybody concedes that he is entirely competent to carry them through to a successful conclusion, without the assistance of Mr. Heney, as in fact he did the last ones tried here. And since then he has won all the appealed cases that have been decided in the federal court of appeals. Not to confirm Mr. Bristol next winter, as if he had done something wrong or was incapable, would be both an affront and an injustice to him, which Senator Fulton should understand the people would recent next year at the polls. They are tired of this factional and personal fight made upon the best district attorney the government ever had here. THE NOLAN CASE. The more that is heard of the case of the late register of The Dalles land office the more it is understood that he was most deservedly kicked out, and he may consider himself lucky if the government lets it go at that. It is complained in some quarters that Mr. Moody was too officious in suggesting the removal of Nolan or an inquiry into his conduct of the office, but if Mr. Moody did this he did a good service by "butting in." He had a right to do so, too, because Nolan was appointed on his recommendation and he felt responsible for his official creation. He could not get Senator Fulton to act, we suppose, because Fulton is a particular friend of ex-Representative Williamson's, and is factionally hostile to Moody. Nolan, it seems, was not only false to the man who made him politically, and who had loaded him with favors and benefits, but he had become intolerably insolent and overbearing to patrons of the office, and his culminating meanness was in his velled accusation of his fellow official, Miss Lang, who had been connected with the office for many years and knew more about its business than Nolan could learn in a long lifetime. The administration made no mistake in getting rid of Nolan, but Senator Fulton gets no credit for Nolan's discharge. A Texas colored man netted $1,000 last year off a 50-acre farm. This is not mentioned because it is a peculiar case, but only as a sample of many similar cases in different parts of the country of the success of colored men in various industrial vocations, and yet some people suppose they do not know enough to go in when it rains. It is very likely that the lumber mill owners could afford to pay higher wages and ought to do so, but the demands of the men incited by outside mischief makers and hired trouble breeders, seem to be unreasonable. Between the two the city is getting a very damaging knock, but there appears to be no help for it. Representative Hawley starts out as if he would make a very active and useful representative. This is a good thing, for this district as well as for his own, for we shall have to depend on Hawley rather than the big log that we elected. It is a pity a lot of the labor agitators could not be thrown into jail and fed on bread and water for awhile. They do millions of damage and no real good to anybody. So the colored brother didn't get that nice job in Ohio after all. But every colored man in Ohio will be expected to vote the republican ticket straight next year. A great improvement ought to be made on some councilmen that will go out of office on July 1—and Ward one is a good place to begin making the change. The mayor has not yet discovered any way by which he con hold over any way by which he can hold over elected, and that is oh, so doubtful. Senator Fulton returns with a pretty good record to his credit, yet there are a few things that a good many republicans do not exactly like. That a sheriff should have entire custody and control of the county prisoners seems to be a self-evident proposition. A good many of the best people are coming to the conclusion that the primary nomination law is a nuisance and a fraud. Let everybody get ready to vote for the parks and boulevards and driveways. It is high time the city had them. Congress did very well indeed by Oregon, and of course Senator Fulton will properly get some credit for that. The democrats are going to hold a meeting to decide on some candidates but what's the use? This isn't 1905. Heney has Ruef in close quarters now, and the boss might as well give up. Heney is a sure shot. Anti-railroad demagogues are getting the country into a lot of trouble. It was a good thing for this town when Lafe Pence struck it. The city attorneyship seems destined to go to an Irishman. So far nobody seems inclined to roast Coffey. Washington, March 15.—First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock has made a compilation showing how many clerks in postoffices and letter-carriers will be affected by the increased pay recently provided for them by congress. The additional pay will begin on July 1 next. The total number of clerks promoted at that time or as soon afterwards as they shall have completed a year's service in the grades in which they are now serving will be 19,900. The increase will affect 42,-433 carriers throughout the country. A. H. Willett & Co.

The Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company (colored) of New York City is remodeling a six-story building in New York City, wherein will be opened a department store, employing about one hundred people, all colored. The same company is running a similar store now at Baltimore, employing twenty-three people. The president of the company is P. Sheridan Ball. The attendance at the young people's meeting held at 7 p.m. m. each Sunday evening at the A. M. E. church is increasing. The address on last Sunday evening by Mrs. Jas. N. Fullilove was replete with information and advice given in a manner at once pleasing as well as convincing. Excellent music is furnished and an hour could not be more pleasantly or profitably spent than in attending these meetings. John Spillman, an aged negro, who was found in the residence of L. Wild, 560 Lake street, may have to face a charge of burglary. Some one broke a pane out of the window of Wild's house and, reaching through, opened the door, which was locked from the inside. Members of Mr. Wild's family, sleeping upstairs were awakened by the noise and Mr. Wild found Spillman in the house. The old negro appeared to be very much intoxicated. He was booked at the police station on a simple charge of drunkenness. Patrolman Burchell, who arrested Spillman, is inclined to think another man broke into the place and when he discovered that he had been heard, disappeared, leaving the drunken negro to catch the blame. Spillman claims he was too drunk to remember he was happened. Favorable to Colored People. For quite a number of years a propaganda against the colored people of the United States has been carried on by persons hostile to their aspirations for full citizenship rights. They reasoned quite well that laws favorable to the cause be enforced if the nation could be taught to hate the race. "The Human Brotherhood" is a bureau established in Philadelphia for the purpose of passing around among persons whose good will for the race is desired, such literature as will mould sentiment in its favor. The forces arrayed against the race that are seeking to blacken its name are powerful and aggressive. Strenuous work is therefore necessary to effectively offset them. The aim of The Human Brotherhood is to organize groups in every community, equip them with the literature most helpful and have them disseminate the same. Persons friendly to the cause of the colored people have provided and will continue to provide funds for the operation of the bureau. No fee whatever is attached to connection with the movement and all in sympathy with its purposes are desired as co-workers. The Bureau is under the supervision of Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, A. M., B. D., the author who for years has called the race to activity in the matter of rebulting the slanders directed against it. The Bureau invites correspondence. Literature fully explaining its workings furnished free upon application. Address all communications to THE HUMAN BROTHERHOOD. 116 N. 12th street, Philadelphia, Pa. Expect Return of Cash. Chicago, March 13.—A new field in the investigation of the subtreasury robbery is being explored by the Federal authorities. It is suggested that some banking institution of Chicago needed a large sum to tide over temporary difficulties, and is responsible for the disappearance of the $173,600. The secret service operatives are working on the theory that the money that disappeared was borrowed for a day or two at the instance of a tottering institution by some employee who now fears to restore it.

Doctor Bacon, a New England clergyman of long ago, was reproached by a friend with some pronouncement which was not "according to Webster." Webster lived in his parish, and the doughty old divine was not disposed to be snubbed with the dictionary. Somebody of a psychological turn of mind once asked Lord Rosebery, "What is memory?" "Memory," Rosebery replied, promptly but somewhat pensively, "memory is the feeling that steals over us when we listen to our friends' original stories." Farmyard Gossip.

Campbell of London declares himself openly in favor of the new theology and admits that the story of the fall is not to be taken as history but as a symbolical story. He also declares that he cannot accept the doctrines of vicarious atonement and the belief that Christ while on earth was coequal with God. Since this declaration Mr. Campbell's services at the City Temple have been more crowded than ever and hundreds are turned away every Sunday. In his home life Mr. Campbell is very fond of agricultural pursuits and spends much time in the fields and in his garden. Popular Science. Some of the greatest authorities on radium now incline to the belief that it is a compound rather than a chemical element. MULTIPLICATION OF FISH. Enemies Prevent Too Great a Number Living to Maturity. Some faint conception of the great destruction of eggs and young fash and of the comparatively limited number of them to attain full growth may be formed from the statements of those who have made a study of fish product According to an official of the geological survey at Washington, the heaviest metal is osmium, which has, bulk for bulk, very nearly twice the weight of lead. The specific gravity of gold is about $19\frac{1}{4}$, while that of osmium is almost $22\frac{1}{2}$. Osmium is also the most infusible of metals, remaining unaffected by a degree of heat capable of causing platinum to run like water. It even resists the inconceivable temperature of the electric arc. It is reported that the invisible radium emanations affect germinating seeds when these are covered with a layer of soil very much the same as a too powerful application of sunlight to the seed. In other words, the effect is similar to that produced by too much light, resulting in an arresting of germination. The effect is influenced by the nature of the seed covering, its distance from the source of emanation and the quantity of moist soil intervening. The greatest industry of Australia is sheep raising, mainly for the sake of the wool, but also in part, of course, for the meat. Australia now ranks second among the great sheep-raising countries, Argentina being first with 92,000,000 sheep, Australia second with 72,000,000 and Russia third with 70,000,000. But a few years ago Australia was first, possessing no less than 106,260,000 head of sheep. That was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were the cause of the destruction of many millions of Australian sheep, but since 1902 there has been an annual gain. Yet these sheep were not indigenous to Australia. They were first introduced in 1797, being of the Spanish merino species. If you ask your grocer, "What are the best English walnuts?" he will reply, "French ones." They are exported chiefly from Grenoble, and are known as Grenoble nuts. The suggestion having been made that excellent walnuts could be raised in many of our Southern States, at a distance from the humid and swampy coast lands, the Department of Commerce has collected interesting fact about the cultivation of the trees France. They grow best at altitudes between 600 and 1,900 feet. The young trees are very susceptible to extreme heat or cold. To maintain the quality of the nuts frequent grafting is practiced. Perfect nuts grow only on the outer limbs, exposed to the air and sun, and the inner limbs are kept trimmed down. The trees are planted with plenty of room about them, and every year or two the ground is dug up and fertilized. The space between can be utilized for pasture or crops. "How is your brother, Harker?" "Oh, he is in a business that will open your eyes." "That's funny. My brother is in a business that will close your eyes." "Really? What is it?" "Why, he markets onlons." Every man in his relation to every other man is a hypocrite; he pretends that he is wiser and better than he is, and the other man detects him in the deception, though he pretends to be deceived.

MULTIPLICATION OF FISH. Enemies Prevent Too Great a Number Living to Maturity. Some faint conception of the great destruction of eggs and young fishes and of the comparatively limited number of them to attain full growth may be formed from the statements of those who have made a study of fish productivity, says the Mobile Register. Thus the great English naturalist, Buffon, made a careful investigation of the number of eggs produced by a female herring and on that basis calculated the increase for twenty years. His conclusion was that the increase of a single pair of herring, if all reached maturity, would in a score of years amount to a mass as large as our earth. Without going extensively into the figures of those who have made a study of this subject it is only necessary to remember that the herring is a comparatively small fish, and that some of the larger species are almost equally prolific. Thus 10,000,000 eggs have been found in a female codfish, and it is stated that one will produce not less than 45,000,000 young in a single season. The eggs in a female eel were counted, and the number was ascertained to be about 10,000,000. Other common fishes, while not so prolific as these, are enough so to make us wonder just how long all the waters of the earth would contain the fishes if all the eggs that are spawned should reach maturity. The seas and the oceans and the rivers would soon become impassable, and we suppose the end of the world, as far as man is concerned, would soon arrive. Fortunately for humanity, from the moment the egg is laid its enemies are ready for it. The eggs are eagerly selzed and devoured, and the young fishes fare no better. Numerous natural enemies of the fnytie tribe follow the mothers, or lie in wait for eggs and young, so that but few reach maturity, compared with the incalculable number that are brought into the world. Valuable as all fishes are for human food it is fortunate that man is not the only animal that feeds on them. An Awkward Record. The Earl of Spencer, who, before he succeeded his father, was Viscount Althorp, confessed, at a recent reunion at Harrow, that one of the most awkward moments of his life occurred while he was a pupil at the great public school. He was present, he said, in the Vaughan Library when the King, then Prince of Wales, visited Harrow. The book in which the minutes of the debating society were recorded was shown to the royal visitor. As fate decreed, the page on which it opened contained this resolution: "That regicide is justifiable, moved by Viscount Althorp." The boy did not know where to look, but the prince merely smiled, as if it were the most natural thing in the world for a loyal subject to be in favor of making way with the sovereign. Reads So "Easy." A French mariner thinks advantage may be taken of the favorable winds at the edge of a cyclone for facilitating navigation. By means of observations with the barometer and other instruments, he would ascertain the direction in which the storm is going and so shape the course of the ship that it would be carried along by the sweep of the atmosphere without becoming involved in the dangerous center of the storm.

Justice has only recently been done to one of the most majestic mountains of Colorado. For some years a persistent rumor has been affloat that the famous Mount of the Holy Cross had suffered an accident in the shape of a rock slide which had destroyed one of the arms of the cross, or rather had filled up one of the transverse canons and excluded the snow therefrom, thus obliterating a portion of the cross. Photographs showing this defect have actually been made, but a short time ago the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad sent its photographers, W. H. Jackson, the noted landscape artist of Detroit, and George L. Beam of Denver, on a trip to the wonderful Holy Cross region, for the purpose of proving or disproving the statement as to the partial destruction of the cross. Leaving the town of Red Cliff, after an immense amount of hard traveling through an almost unbroken wilderness, the summit of Notch Mountain, a long and jagged eminence directly opposite the Mount of the Holy Cross, was reached, and from the first point of view one of the arms of the cross did appear to be missing. However, on bearing to the right and rising higher a fine thread of snow became visible on that portion of the summit, and after continuing in this direction for some distance the entire left arm appeared and it was found that the cross was as complete and beautiful as ever. A comparison of the new photographs with the first one ever made, which Mr. Jackson took thirty-three years ago, shows practically no change even in the spots of snow on the mountain, to say nothing of any alterations in the masses of rock of which it is composed. Evidently the story of the demolition was started by persons who had not ascended to the proper height or at the proper point to obtain the full view of the cross. Doubtless this magnificent mountain will retain its shape and remain one of the wonders of America for many generations to come.—Toledo Blade. garden When I was a boy we had one unfalling job—husking corn. We husked all winter. We husked from crop to crop. It was like a curse on my life. It was the unfalling remedy for the least appearance of laziness. "Go down to the north field and husk a few bushels of corn." That was the order and it had to be obeyed. And with a corn crop running into the billions of bushels they still husk it by hand. Why doesn't somebody who is sorry for farmer boys, invent something?—Bushnell, in Cincinnati Post. SILENCE CLUB OF PARIS. Members Do Not Talk Unless They Have Something to Sex Have something to the first year of the Silence Club of Paris has closed with such gratifying results that the club may be said to have achieved success in its decidedly unique sphere of usefulness," remarked a psychologist to a Washington Star man. "I look for similar 'clubs to be established in this country among the cult, as their foundation and purpose is anything but a joke or of a freakish nature. The idea is new in this country, however, though the success of the Paris institution will give it an impetus among the advanced thinkers among us and those who have made the interesting problem of mental philosophy a critical or a pastime study. "The rules of the society do not call for absolute silence, but the members are supposed not to talk unless they have something to say. Chatter is absolutely tabooed. Each member pledges himself to avoid noisy places and participation in public demonstrations. At a recent meeting the members declared that since they had joined the club their nervous systems were in much better condition than before they became members. "Of course such a club could not be composed of the fair sex, even though they were all devout believers in and followers of psychological teachings. A congregation composed of silent women would be impossible of conception, and while our fair sisters may experience chagrin that they are to be shut out of participating in any form of club life among themselves that is also indulged in by their brothers. this is one form --- ADO'S WONDERS. one to one of the most majestic mounts persistent rumor has been afloat that and suffered an accident in the shape of of the arms of the cross, or rather had and excluded the snow therefrom, thus Photographs showing this defect have ago the Denver and Rio Grande Rail-Jackson, the noted landscape artist of ever, on a trip to the wonderful Holy living or disproving the statement as to after an immense amount of hard travailerness, the summit of Notch Mountain, opposite the Mount of the Holy Cross, on view one of the arms of the cross in bearing to the right and rising higher in that portion of the summit, and after distance the entire left arm appeared as complete and beautiful as ever.

Neither would politicians be eligible for membership, unless as a disciplinary measure. "The club is based upon the sound psychological principle of not doing unnecessary things or calling the brain cells into play by unnecessary thought. In practical everyday life this principle is exemplified in the establishment of retreats among certain of the religious creeds to which members may repair for meditation and rest, and in medical circles it is shown in another form in the so-called rest cure. If one wishes to enter into a study of a mild form of this particular principle let him consider the amount of wasted energy, physical and mental, that the average person each day expends in needless talk and needless action; it will be found to be prodigious. All rules of mechanics converge to the concentration of force and the elimination of waste energy. In human affairs generally every individual endeavors to expend as much energy as he can in the simplest as in the greatest of his endeavors, seeming to think that the more force he puts into an act, a thought or a speech the better it is." The Ears of Insects. Simply because a bee has no ears on the sides of its head it is no sign whatever that it is wholly without some sort of an auditory nerve. This is proved by the fact that grasshoppers, crickets, locusts and flies all have their ears situated in queer places—under the wings, on the middle of the body and even on the sides of their legs. The common house fly does its hearing by means of some little rows of corpuscles which are situated on the knobbed threads which occupy the place which are taken up by the hind wings of other species of insects. The garden slug or shellless snail has its organs of hearing situated on each side of its neck, and the common grasshopper has them on each of its broad, flat thighs. In some of the smaller insects they are at the bases of the wings and in others on the bottom of the feet—Scranton Truth. Queer Things in Kansas. A Kansas City man has just succeeded in getting a patent on an electric motor fastened on a cow's back, the electricity being generated by a dynamo attached to her tail. It strains the milk and hangs up the pall and the strainer. A small phonograph accompanies the outfit and yells "So!" when the cow moves. If she kicks a hinged arm catches the milk stool and lams her over the back.—Osawatomie Globe. His Normal One. First Nurse—The doctor says you must observe old Mr. Skinflint's mean temperature.

These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance or the foot in the because they do not reach the blood. S. S.

PORTLAND NEW AGE In London a lady said one day to Whistler: "Do you think, Mr. Whistler, that genius is hereditary?" "I can't tell you, madam," Whistler replied. "Heaven has granted me no offspring." The poet, John G. Saxe, and Oliver Wendell Holmes were talking about brain fever, when Mr. Saxe remarked: "I once had a severe attack of brain fever myself." "How could you have brain fever?" asked Dr. Holmes, smiling: "it is only strong brains that have brain fever." "How did you find that out?" asked Saxe. Chancellor James R. Day was once advising a young undergraduate of Syracuse University to cultivate tact "But, alas," he said, "I fear that advice on such a subject must always be wasted." On tact the last word was spoken by Barbey D'Aureville when he said: "If tact could be bought, only those already possessed of it would want to buy it." This letter was received at the postoffice department and sent to the postmaster general. The letter came from a Western postmaster at a small office and read: "In accordance with the rules of the department, I write you to inform you that on next Saturday I will close the postoffice for one day, as I am going on a bear hunt. I am not asking your permission to close up and you can discharge me if you want to. But I will advise now that I am the only man in the county who can read and write." A witness was being examined as to the sanity of one of the inmates of the asylum. "You hold that this inmate is insane, do you?" a lawyer asked. "I do," was the firm reply. "Why are you so sure?" "The man," the witness said, "goes about asserting that he is Santa Claus." "And," said the lawyer, "you hold, do you, that when a man goes about asserting that he is Santa Claus, it's a clear proof of his insanity?" "I do." "Why?" "Because," said the witness, in a loud, indignant voice, "I happen to be Santa Claus myself." Sidney Dallas of Melbourne told a group of reporters in Tremont Temple, Boston, this temperance story: "A Melbourne husband stayed out till about 3 a.m. This man, when he got home, thought that he would go boldly to the bathroom and take a bath. That would remove from his wife's mind any suspicion as to his condition. It would show her, in a word, that he was all right. So he undressed, filled the tub, and plunged in. Hot and enfeaved as he was, he enjoyed the bath. As he splashed and scrubbed and puffed, he heard a slight noise, and, looking up, say his wife in the doorway. His wife was regarding him with an expression of unspeakable contempt. He was rather amazed at that. But he said nothing. He lowered his head and went on scrubbing. 'Well, what are you doing?' she asked. 'Can't you see what I'm doing?' he answered. He rubbed up some more lather. 'I'm taking a bath.' She sniffed and said as she turned to go: 'Why don't you take off your underclothes, then?' Halted President's Dinner. Ex-Senator Cockrell probably is the only man in Washington who ever kept President Roosevelt waiting at a dinner. It was one of the cabinet dinners that were given by the Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Hitchcock three years ago. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due time, as did all the other guests except Senator Cockrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to the dining room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Senator Cockrell to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourian had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. The fact was, however, that the senator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad in his dressing gown and slippers and congratulating himself that he could be indoors. He had put the date of the dinner in his calendar in large and attractive handwriting, but had forgotten to turn a leaf and was, accordingly, a day behind time. No one appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that began in anxiety and apprehension ended in a big laugh at the dear old senator—Denver Times. Done Up for Good.
