Salem, July 10.-Neither the ref.
erendum amendment nor the refer
endum movement is dead, as will
be evidenced by the great struggle
that will take place in the next few
weeks or months. The case involv-
ing the constitutionality of the ref
erendum amendment has yet to
be heard in the supreme court, and
the friends of the amendment are
preparing to make the greatest pos
sible efforts to convince the supreme
court that the amendment is con-
stitntional. IF they fail in that,
they will at once start movement
for the readoption of the amend
ment, and will carry fight into the
next campaign. They will try to
make the referendum the great is
sue in the next election, and will
compel every candidate for the leg
islature to declare his position up
on the question.

George Gray, of Delaware, former

of the Anthracite Strike Commits.
sion, is being quietly doomed in the
anthracite region for the democrat.
ic nomination for the presidency.
AS the result. of canvass that has
been made throughout the region,
it has been found that nearly all
the miners union officials who are
democrats are heartily in favor of
his nomination and, since the re.
ported collapse of the Cleveland
boom, both Cleveland men and
Bryan men are enthusiastic in de-
claring that Judge Gray is the nah
who can unite the party.

Helena, Mont, July 4.-The prob
lem of how to catch and dispose o
the rattlesnakes at 10 Mile Point
near here, has been solved by Mrs
Daniel Dutro, wife of a farmer. She
uses a mouse trap.
Ten Mile Point has often beer
called "Rattlesnake Point" on ac-
count of the large number of rat.
tlels that thrive in that vicinity
Not year passes that they do not
kill 4 number of cattle, and how
and then human being. Mr.. Du-
tro and Jack Cornwall, the latter
noted snake-catcher, have for a
long time been trying to clear the
place of the reptiles, but without
much success. Finally they sought
the hid of Mrs. Dutro.
Nothing more simple" said the
woman, as she smiled in superior
sort of way. Instead of unfolding
her plans to the men and allowing
them to gain all the credit, she Sc
cured a number of common circu-
lar mouse traps, which she baited
and set around in various places
before going to bed. When she en-
tered the kitchen in the morning
she found each trap filed. In each
hole was snake, which had been
attracted by the bait, and which
had been choked to death when the
trap was sprung. ALI the other
traps, which had been set in vari-
Gus places about the farm, contain
ed snakes, and in all sixteen were
captured. The smallest was tri-
f1e more than foot in length,
while the largest was four feet, and
had eight rattles.
If the supply of traps holds out
Mrs. Dutro expects to rid the Point
of rattlesnakes in two weeks.

What the Editor of Jefferson Review
Says of Mr.. Pate's Cure.

Almost every one in Linn and Ma
rion counties knows J. w. Pate,
and all know that he is man oi
unq uestioned integrity. Mr.. Pate
was treated year ago for rheuma-
tim and Kidney trouble by Dr..
Darrin, the eminent specialist now
at Hotel Revere. Albany. To satis-
fy ours salves as to theeffciency of the
Dr.'s treatment we interviewed Mr..
Pate when he was in town Tuesday.
He said: Il had suffered for years
with rheumatism and kidney troub-
le, much of the time being confined
to my bed. Since being treated by
DR.. Darrin year ago the trouble is
cured and l have been entirely free
from pain. AS you can see, I have
gained iu flesh, lock 20 years young
er, am getting handsomer all the
time and am beginning to worry
for fear shall be kidnapped by
some old maid. Yes, DR.. Darrin's
treatment was\ certainly successful
in my case" The above statement
will convince all who know Mr..
Pate that there is no fake about DR..
DarIin.

Salem, Or, July 11.-Not In any
spirit of threatening to appeal to
the people do the friends of the mi.
tiative and referendum amendment
talk Of their plans, should the su.
.preme court decide that the refereu.
dun was not legally adopted. "We
have the utmost conf der ce in the
supreme court" said tn, of the
most enthusiastic advocate 8 of the
referendum 'odav. "Our supreme
court has shown in the past that it
/ can be Influenced by neither poll
tics nor corporate power. Whatev-
er the court may decide regarding
the legality of the adoption of the
referendum we will accept as good
law. Asking for a readoption OF the
refere ndom will not be an appeal
from the supreme court from the
people, for the court will not pass
upon the merits of the referendum.
The question before the supreme
court will be whether the referen-
dun was adopted, and if we find by
the decision of the supreme court that
the referendum amendment WAS not
legally adopted, we will begin again
and pursue a different course that
we know will be legal. We will Or
ganize direct legislation leagues in
every precinct in the state, and in
the next campaign we will pledge
every candidate for the legislature
in writing to vote for C Institution
al convention. If any candidate
will not pledge bims; If we will de-
feat him in the election. 1t is be-
cause the organization of the cam
paign is 20 great task that we are
ALREADY talking over our plans"
1t was stated in yesterdays cor
that the friends of the
referendum will attempt to secure a
resubmission of the amendment if
it be determined that it was not
legally adopted in 1902. This was
an error, for the plan is to secure
the calling of constitutional con-
vention.

New York, July 1O.-Thirty.
eight deaths and SO prostrations
in and around New York and

heat. 1t was the hottest July 10
in the history Of the local bareau,
The highest previous record being
81 degrees, TT orded July 10, 1880.

ture that would break all records,
however, was not fulfilled. Thurs.
days record of "a degrees at 4 o.
clcck, the high weather mark Of the
year, was reached today at 20 min
utes past o'clock, without signs
of relief. But by two O'Clock the
temperature had fallen two degrt es
where it remained during the next
two hours. Fortunately the blu.
midity was only 46 per cent. when
the temperature stood at 81, and in.
creased but slowly from that time
during the afternoon, as the heat
subsided. At s o'clock it was IS
per cent. but by that time the tenn.
perature had fallen to Sc degrees, 6
degrees lower than at the same hour
Thursday. Between 5 and 7 o.
clock the temperature fell seven de-
grees foil ,wing a thunder storm
southeast of the city. The city had
been sweltering SO long in the hot
wave, however, that it was hours
before the Offices and tenements be-
gan to feel the effects of the CO Ter
weather.
In the streets the cooling process
was difficult, men, women and chill
dren crowding the walks to recover
from the heat of the day. Many
slept on the park benches and,
where the police would permit it, in
