STRETCHING 1T TOO FAR.

Privilege Does Not PermIt Lawyer
to Aid His Clients Escape.
Judge Thomas Of the United States
Court has q correct idea Of legal ethics,
and he enforces his views with refresh
Ing directness and decision In his dec
laration that the relation Of attorney
and client does not excuse an attorney
from Withholding evidence bearing
upon an intention or arrangement on
the part of the client to perform some
illegal act in the future or the actual
doing Of such an act. A man under
indictment had been admitted to bail
and then fed. The Grand Jury desired
to learn who helped him In his fight.
The lawyer who represented him said
he was employed to do SO by third
person, and the Grand Jury desired to
reach this third person and find out
where the accused man was and who
was privy to his escape. The lawyer
declined to give this information on
the ground that his relation with a cli-
ent was privileged, Judge Thomas re-
fused to recognize this as within the
proper limits of professional confidence
and ordered him to answer the Ques-
lions.
II this view were more generally en-
forced by all courts the legal profes-
sion would be less often reproached as
the patron Of law-breaking. Honorable
lawyers would not for an instant ad-
NIT that their business was to make
crime safe. No lawyer except the
'shyster," whose type, Of course, In
vades every profession, would deliber-
ately set out to assist a criminal to
forge or steal. But so intense is pro-
fesslonal feeling and the desire to do
full duty to client that lawyers often
fail to draw the line between guarding
the rights Of client and helping him
to do wrong. Lawyers have advised
and helped men who have committed
crime to escape on the eve Of discovery.
Others, as counsel for corporations,
have advised how law could be vio-
lated without incurr1ng immediate pen
altles and made themselves generally
participants in Illegal conspiracies un-
der the protection Of professional priv
ilege. We sometimes hear such prac-
tices defended, or at least excused, on
the ground that lawyer cannot make
himself tho Judge Of what act or plan
Of his client coming to his knowledge
is criminal, and that the only safe rule
is absolute faithfulness to him in all
his doings.
Judge Thomas does not take that
view Of the lawyers duty and refuses
to stretch the veil Of professional conf
dence to cover flight from justice. It is
perhaps not often that a case comes up
offering the chance for judicial inter
ference between lawyer and client, but
II is not to be denied that some lawyers
do have relations with clients which
call for II whenever possible, and that
all judges should be as ready as Judge
Thomas TO interfere.-New York Trib-

aside for her to pass In.
Rose was about to do so, when some
thing in the glance or manner of this
man struck her unpleasantly. She hesi-
tated-paused.
''If he is Within" she said, "why does
he not come to meet me when he hears

"You must come In, Rose, before you
can see him." he returned. "Come-en-

There was utter silence.
II do not believe he is here. You are
deceiving me, Gaspardsw she cried. A
horrible fear-a suspicion of treachery,
filed her mind; she trembIed and turned
deadly pale.
Gasparde smiled. 1t was the smile of
an incarnate 6end. His hand was laid
dpon her arm.
"Ah! you begin to suspect, my pretty
ons!' he said.
"Let me go, Gaspardeg' she cried, af-
ffightedly. II am faint" murmured she,

But his words fell on ears that heard
them not. A mist aoated before the eyes
of Rose; a rushing sound, as Of swelling
waters, was about her, and she fell sense
less to the earth.
At that moment a man sprang hastily
through the bushes. 1t was Jacques Le-

Forty-one years ago the bloody bat

and the Union troops under Gen,
George B. Mcclellan, was fought on

Conductor Dave Houston, of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, who is TAX
ing a ten days vacation at Seaside,
had a thrilling experience with a big
bear which he will not soon forget. He
only told a few of the Incidents, as he
desired to keep It quiet, but the story
leaked out. Conductor Houston is a
great fisherman, and never lets an op-
portunity slip to cast the line. He
had hardly got settled at the seaside
when he went out on the Necanlcum
river to have a fish all by himself. He
made his way through the brush until
he came to log, one end Of which pro-
jectsd out into the creek. That's the
very place." thought the conductor,
and, adjusting his line and pole, he
crept out on the log. where he found
himself perched above the cool water
Of Necanicum creek. Houston lighted
his tried and trusty pipe and then cast
his line He hshed and smoked per-
haps an hour without getting a bite.
Suddenly there was a movement in
the bushes back Of him, and then he
felt the log he was sitting on tremble.
Instinetively the conductor turned
around, when to his amazement he
gazed into the face OF a big black
bear. The latter seemed to be sizing
him up and estimating how much Of a
meal the conductor would make. and
whether he would scrap" when It
came to the point For the conductor
there seemed no escape The bear sat
complaeently on the shore end of the
log. and 1t was not possible for Con.
ductor Houston to get past the mon.
ster. The bear held him there for sew
eral hours before a hunter came along
and killed the animal. The bear
weighed $50 pounds when dressed.

THE WEATHER OF OREGON.
Wonders Produced from the Soil o
the Far North west.


There is probably no country in the
world so rich in natural resources that
is at the same time so sparsely set
tied. The diversity of agricultural
possibilities is continually being
shown by successful experiments and
the richness of the river valley beg
gars description.
The Northwest is pre-eminently the
wonderland Of production on the con-
tinent. william Macleod Baine in
Pearson's tells how a farmer in the
Hood River country raised on four
acres 800 bushels of potatoes that
nearly all ran from three to eight
pounds apiece. There was not In the
lot one that weighed less than a
pound. Squashes weighing as much
as a large man, pumpkins tipping the
scales at the hundredweight, water
melons larger than the Southern pick
aninnies, whose eyes would bulge at
seeing them; turnips larger than ones
head, pears and apples with a circum-
ference of a half-yard are to be seen
at the annual fairs Of Salem and The
Dalles.
The biggest apples, the biggest pears
and biggest cherries at the Chicago ex-
position were from Oregon and the
charge cannot be made against them
that what they gain in size they lose
In flavor. The Pathological Society,
which is the highest authority on
fruits in the country, awarded to the
State of Oregon the Wilder medal for
the horticulture exhibit at the Pan
American. The "Webfoot State"
stands first In the production of hops,
raising about one-third of the coun-
try's total production. SO far as is
known there is no spot on earth, with
the exception of Eastern Oregon and
Washington and the adjoining valleys
of Idaho, where three or four crops
of wheat may be harvested from one
sowing. Yet since the first settlement
of the country these volunteer crops
have been reaped. A second crop
from a single seeding is officially re-
ported to have yielded thirty bushels
to the acre.
