A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN PORT
LAND.-Sunday afternoon John w.
Strengele shot and killed Mrs. Mabel
Colvin, on Yamhill street, Portland.
1t seems that Strengele WAS paying his
addresses to Mrs. c., who WAS mar.
ried woman from the East, seeking a
divorce from her husband, and it was
understood that as soon as this legal
impediment was severed they would
be married. Strengele became jealous,
however, and last Saturday told Mrs.
Colvin that II she ever drove with q
certain party again, he would kill he.
and himself. She, it seems, paid no
attention to the threat, and the next
day again drove with the party oh.
jected to, with the tragic result that
has filled the community with horror.
Mrs. Calvin was a daughter of s. Fore
hand, President and principal owner
of the Forehand Arms Co., of Wor-
cester, Mass. She was residing with
relatives in Portland pending the suit
for divorce. Strengele had been q
resident of Oregon five years. He was
q civil engineer by profession and 10
employ of the city,. He became &C
quainted with Mrs. C. about q year
ago, and . warm attachment soon re.
suited. Both parties are highly con-
nected

charged or desire to quite work, ne is
informed that he can have his time

er who will charge him at least 10 per
cent. commission on same. As soon az
he has by hard work gotten a little
ahead he is laid off until his surplus is
all consumed in board. In fact, no

Things on Exhibit.
TACOMA, Wn., Sept. 13
What has already taken rank as the
most attractive and one of the most
wonderful exhibits OF natural products
at the Interstate Fair is to be found in
the Oregon section, which covers one
quarter OF the floor space in the agri-
cultural and horticultural building.
The exhibit was installed by Commits
sioner c. F. Miller and his assistants,
E. n. Morgan and James Vertue. In
the center of the section stands beau
tiful grain palace, composed entirely
OF grains and grasses grown in the
Willamette valley, Over so varieties
OF rye, wheat, oats, timothy and clover
are found woven in the walls of the
building. The tower is surmounted
by golden sheaf of oats. Inside the
building is the Office of the Oregon
commission. About the walls are
shelves on which are seen glass shells
filled with grain. Elsewhere in the
section are long tables on which other
grains, fruits and vegetables are ex-
hibited. The cereals attract especial
attention. Some of them are of re-
markable height. There is for in
stance timothy six feet tall, rye eight
feet and clover five feet tall. The
fruit display is notable one. Most
OF it is contained in glass jars. One
pear, lacking but an ounce Of five
pounds in weight, attracts much at
tention. 1t was grown by A. L. Wal
ling OF Oswego. Dried apples, prunes,
and peaches form a separate exhibit.
Some fine specimens of mounted fish
are shown. One of them, magnifi-
cent Chinook salmon, weighed s.
pounds when caught. The Portland
immigration Board contributed its
collection of minerals to the speci-
mems gathered by James Vertue. Al
together about three tons of speci-
mems from Baker, Union and Jackson
counties are shown. There is gold
and silver bearing rock, lead, copper.
galena and other minerals represented
in the collection. A separate wool
display is made of both washed and
unwashed wool raised in the William.
cite valley.
On the closing of the Oregon State
Fair Saturday, Sept. 22d, the exhibit
will be greatly increased.
Alaska makes better mineral dis
play than was ever before shown from
that territory. 1t arrived last week in
charge of Commissioners Maloney and
Norvell. Sixty-one of the greatest
Alaskan mines are represented.

Ths Claims Made by che Territory's Gov
ernor and Likelihood of IT'S
The Oklahoma statehood convention
assembled In Kingfisher will appeal to
congress at the opening OF the session
for the admission Of the territory into
the Union III. q state. The governor Of
the territory furnished the convention
with statistics to justify the claim for
statehood. He estimates the population
Of the territory. including the Chero-
kee strip, mt 251. 900. and he sustains
this estimate in a way which is not
wholly unsatisfactory. The value Of the
taxable property of the territory is Civ
en- MS $14, 900, 900, and the territorial
government is free from debt. There
are several hundred churches in the ter
ritory; there are 80 banks: there are
public schools, and there have been
2,37a, 900 acres of farming land taken
up. The various kinds Of grain grow
there and the ordinary kinds OF fruit.
Cotton also a be grown. Oklahoma !
says Governor Renfrow, possesses vast
resources, and, with its genuine Amer.
can inhabitants. it will make a state
equal to any other in the Union"
liz the governors estimate of the pop
ulatiun of the territory is correct, Okla
homa is entitled to admission into the
Union as a state. In his estimate. how
ever, the people who settled upon the
Cherokee strip a few months ago are in
cluded. and the strip is not a part of
the territory of Oklahoma. 1t belongs
properly to the territory, and it must be
united herewith before the bill for the
admission of Oklahoma can be passed
through congress.
We observe that Secretary Smith of
the interior department makes no refer
ence to this fact in his report, when ex-
pressing the hope that oklahoma may
speedily assume the responsibilities Of
statehood" 1t will undoubtedly, how
ever, be brought to the notice of con
gress.-New York Sun.

MAY BE THE OLDEST MAN.

"A Negro Who Has Record to Prov . That
He Was born on Dec. 20. 1910.
Cole county can boast of the Oldest
man in the state of Missouri and per-
haps in the United States. His name
Is Richard Hoops, and he is a negro.
He lives in a small shanty on the banks
Of the Usage river at Usage City.
According to the records of his own
statements he was born in Chatham
county, N. c., on Dec. 90, ITO, and
consequently will be 1913 years old ON
the goth of this month. He came to
Missouri with his then master, John P.
Hayden, settling at Lanes Prairie, Gas
conade county. A few years later he
was transferred to the man whose name
he now bears and lived with him near
Vienna, Maries county, until the eman4
cipation of the slaves. Since that time
he has lived at Westphalia, but for the
past 25 years he has made his home ut
Usage City.
Hoops is remarkably well preserved
and lives alone in his shanty. He fishes
a great deal for the big catfish that FREE
quent the waters of the Usage and ia
never happier than when he can catch
q big n and make soup of its head.
He is still able to do some work, and it
was only a few years since that he con-
tracted with a farmer in the vicinity Of
his home to remove the stumps and
roots off a newly cleared tract of land.
He fulfilled his contra Il, doing all the
work himself. His mind is still clear
ON many of the events that happened to-
ward the close of the last century, and
he recalls with great pride that he once
held the horse of General Greene of
Revolutionary fame. He has the record
of his birth, and there IL but little doubt
that he is the oldest person in the. conn
