Mothers will thank us for the help we give
in clothing the boys, and bless our easy credit
system. Takes honest stuffs and careful
making to give the boy service. The aver
age store would either keep you busy buying
or busy keeping the boy from spelling his
clothes. If ours aren't as we guarantee them
bring them back and get your money. Isn't
that fair.

OUR NEXT DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Mr. w. E. Yates received the republican
End judicial district at the state convention
in Portland last week. Mr.. Brown, the
present efficient officer. was his opponent for
the nomination, but the fact of Douglas
county having the judgship, influenced the
delegates in favor Of the Benton county can
didate.
Mr.. Yates has filled several public posi-
tions in this and other counties, and has al
ways been an honest, energetic and capable
official Mr.. Yates is a good, sound lawyer,
and very popular with all who know him.
William Il. Yates was born on his fathers
farm, three miles east of Corvallis, in Linn
county, thirty mine years ago, and lived at
his birthplace until he reached the age Of
twenty-five years. His early education was
,tained in the district school, but during the
last four years he lived en- the farm, he at
tended the Oregon Agricultural College,
from which institution he graduated with
high honors in June, 1880, receiving the de-
gree, Master OF Arts. During the following
year he was retained at the institution as a
tutor. This position, however, he gave up
and accepted the chair of languages in the
State Normal School, which position he
ably filled for four years. He was then
elected county school superintendent of Polk
county, and served one term. Returning to
Corv.l Ills he was chosen principal Of the
Corvallis public schools and held the position
two years, when he was elected school super
| intendent OF Benton county. For some time
Mr.. Yates had been desirous of entering the
legal profession, and to that end had i'm
proved hi. leisure moments by studying law,
and ut the conclusion OF his term OF Office,
was admitted to the bar. He has since re-
sided in Corvallis and has built up an excel
lent practice, and during the past few years
has been connected with some of the most
important litigation before tho Benton
county bar. Last year Governor Lord ap.
! pointed him member Of the board OF re-
gents of the State Agricultural College, and
he has looked closely after the best interests
of the institution. For throe years past he
has been member of the board OF director
of the Corvallis public schools, and the pres.
ent excellent cnndition of the districts af.
fairs is due largely to his close personal at.
tention and business ability.

WASHINGTON, Oct !3.--Thc opinion
is freely expressed ty ecclesiastics OF
the Catholic church III Washington,
that the troubles within the church
have not ended with the Bishop Keane
incident, and they will soon be re-
newed at Rome by the parties to the
present controversy. 1t is fully ex-
pected by the friends of DR.. Rocker,
the secretary OF the papal delegate, that
the forces which brought about Bishop
Keane's retirement from the Catholic
university, will endcavor to secure the
retirement of DR.. Rocker, who is o
friend of Bishop keane and of Arch
bishop Ireland. This expectation has
given rise to current reports that DR..
Rocker would be succeeded by a new
secretary, but SO far as known, there is
no basis for the reports at the present
time. 1t is supposed that matters may
be pushed to a conclusion one way or
the other, after Cardinal Satolli's
arrival at Rome.
The cardinal will not go direct Ito
Rome from Genoa, but will stop at
Milan and Perugia. The expectation
is that the names of DR.. Conaty and
others proposed for the rectorship of
the university will not be considered
until the sacred congregation, now in
recess, reconvenes on the second Mon
day in November, and that the final
decision will be made known early in
December.
Mgr. Martineli is confining his at
tention wholly to the work of the dele.
CATION, which is largely of a routine
character, and has carefully refrained
from any participation in the differences

Professors Baer and Haan Return With
Much Testimony.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-G. L. Baer,
professor Of history at Cornell univer-
sity, returned ON the steamship Teu-
tonic after spending some months
abroad, examining the archives of the
Hague for official documents relating
to the Venezuelan boundary These
documents go back to the sixteenth GEN.
tury. Professor Baer found that some
of the records had found their way into
England, which necessitated his going
to London to examine them. Professor
Baer was assisted in his investigation
by Or. De Haan, of Johns Hopkins
university.
MY MISSION" said Professor Baer,
was SIMPLY to find out the geographical
and geological conditions, and l ex-
plored a great body of documents
which previously had not been ex-
amined. In doing this, very naturally
came across much good material, but
the evidence was so vague that it will
have to be interpreted by legal author
ity. Both in The Hague and in London
l was given every possible facility in
making my examination. So far az
possible, tried in my own mind to
arrive ut no conclusion. was not sent
there to draw conclusions, but to ex'
plore documents, and have no right tC
anticipate the conclusions of the com
mission. l have every reason, however
to believe that the question will be ami
cably settled.
Il know nothing whatever of the
diplomatic negotiations. saw by the
