II ota del dia

Un colega, de la maflana,
anuncia un proyecto de refor
ma, del sistema judicial, del que
supone autor y 1nico mantene-
dor al Attorney General.
Nosotros, francamente, no
ere eemos que ell senior Sweet, ha-
va pensado nunca en- sostener
esa reforma, en- los terminus en-
que el colega la denuncia.
Es muy dehciente, demasiado
torpe, para ser obra del Attor-
ney General. Sc habla en- ell es-
bozo, que del proyecto de refor-
ma hace ei colega de la ma1lana,
de economias en- Ell presupuesto
de tribunales. Profundo error.
Los gastos habran de ser mucho
mas considerables, a menos que
sc les rebaie los sueldos a los ac-
tuales jueces de los tribunales de
Distrito, medida tam bien contra
producente, porque los encarga-
dos de impartir justicia deben
Coptar con recursOs bastantes
para cubr1r las necesidades de
la vida con decorosa sufciencia.
Con la refOrma, tai y como la
presenta el colega, no Sc conse-
guira ninguna reduction de los
actuales gastos; al contrario. el
desem bolso habra de ser mayor
necesariamente, como 10 vamOS
d demoStrar en- seguida.
En- vez de cinco tribunales de
Distrito. que existen ahora, ha-
bra siete, segun el supuesto
proyecto del Honorable Attor
nev General.
En- vez dc ounce jueces, en-
ire los cinco tribunaleS, catorce
entire los siete; y podremoS abo-
mar a la Cuenta de eConOmiaS el
sueldo de IN juez aSociado, que
ha de quedar sobrante. Pero,
en- canbio, sera precise nom
brar dos nuevos fiscales para los
dos tribunaleS que Sc estableZ-
can; secretaries de Sala. oflcia-
les, escrlbientes, alguaciles, etc;

sera insuhciente para Cubrir el
auevo presupuestO eCon0mico
de la t1amante refOrma.
No podemos yer, de ninguna
manera. en- que Consiste la re-
baja de gastos. No la vemos
por ninguna parte.
Y esta Seria la t1nica raZ0n que
pudiese alegar en- su abono la
monstruosa reforma que separa
definitivamente las atribucio-

home company will be organized for
that purpose within the next few
weeks Mr.. Baker is good laudry-
man, and hustler for business. -

JAMES W. VIRTUE is DEAD
Represented Josephine County
in LEGISLATURE OF 1897.

Hon. ]. W. Virtue died at his Port
land residence, Friday evening at
O'Clock. He was born in the County
of Fermanah, Ireland. June "a. 1887 (;
came to Ontario, Canada, when a
youth, and went to Omaha, Neb., in
1856. In. 1863 he went to Auburn,
Baker county. which was at that
time the county seat. Baker county
was organized in 1862, and the COVER
nor appointed the county officials TO
serve until the regular election of
1864, when Mr.. Virtue was elected
sheriff, a position he filled for six
years with credit to himself and the
satisfaction of the people. Before
the expiration of his term as sheriff,
the county seat removed to Baker
City. At the expiration of his public
services, he engaged in mining and
banking, and for several years was the
leading spirit in all enterprises tend
ing to develop the mining interests
of that section, as well as the agri-
cultural and stock industries. There
was no enterprise calculated to ad-
vance the interest of that section
that did not receive his earnest moral
and financial support, and no man
contributed more to the development
of Oregon mining interests than he
did. Baker City owes in great
measure her present position as tho
Denver of Oregon. to his enterprise.
The famous Virtue" mine was once
his property and it was his money
that opened its treasury Of wealth.
About eight years ago, he moved to
Leland, Josephine county, where he
engaged in opening some valuable
mining property, and about year
ago moved to Portland.
In 1897 he represented Josephine
County in the lower house of the
Legislature, and made a good work
ing member of that body. The state
is much indebted to Mr.. Virtue for
the position it now holds as a mining
section, for no man worked harder
and invested more literally than lie
and encourage others in this enter
prise. He was regarded as the best
authority in the Northwest on all
mining matters. Mr. Virtue was
prominent in political matters and
always took great interest in party
affairs, not, however, for personal
gain, but for his friends, who alway s
found in him a man of the highest
type Of honor and sincerity. These
qualities endeared him to host of
warm friends throughout the state.

CONSTRUCTING A BIG INN
At the St. Louis Exposition
Gruunds.

Eighty-seven carloads of material
have been delivered for the construct
ion of "The Inside Inn" Work has
progressed swiftly during the beauti-
full fall weather. The structure as it
now stands, with its immense first
floor laid, containing S4S, 900 square
feet of floor space, presents the ap-
pearance of one immense lslancing
platform, with here and there pill lars
rising conveniently for the placing Of
lights. Were this used for a harvest
picnic, it would accommodate "a, 800
dancers at one time. This structure,
when completed, will be the most sat
isfactory temporary hotel ever built
for use during an exposition. The
management is going further in Look
ing after the comfort of its visitors
than has any of the great expositions
held in recent years.
Tho opportunity to live on the Ex-
position grounds is an unusual one
and will doubtless prove very at
tractive to people who desire to see
the exposition at its best. The guests
at 1.-THE Inside Inn" will avoid the
vexations of city travel, will lose no
time in going to and from the grounds
and will have the opportunity of
visiting his room as frequently as he
desires without expense or loss of
time.
"The Inside Inn" is situated in the
southeast corner of the grounds, $50
feet above the level Of the city and is
reached directly from the Union
Station by the Market street, Laolede
ana Chouteau avenue car lines and
easily accessible from any gate by
means of the Intramural railway,
which passes its door.

service to guests at all times. 1t con.
tains 2257 sleeping rooms. These
rooms may bs had in eithor the
American or European plan, the price
being controlled by the size, location
and furnishings of the room. The
hotel is being built for NJ, Stalker,
well remembered as the owner Of
Statker's Hotel at Buffalo, and must
be operated in manner satisfactory
to the exposition management. This
guarantees to the public satisfactory
hotel service within the exposition
grounds. Outside the grounds many
other hotels OF all sizes are under con.
struotion and every prospect promises
abundant room at reasonable rates for
all who visit the exposition from
afas.

truthful occurrences, among them
being ono of u Dakota fox, that had
climbed wheat stalk, and thus es-
capped from the hounds, tho new
member told of IA greyhound he had
once owned. Tho dog was in full
career, chasing wounded deer, and
was almost ready to catch his quarry,
when the deer made sudden turn
around big fir tree. Tho~dog ia
stinotiyely turned with the deer, but
did not notice the tree, and struck it
fairly in the center. So great was his
speed that ho telescoped himself
against that tree and from being a
long, lank greyhound, became IA
hound of phenomenal shape, being
nearly three feet high and only l2
inches long, aud was never any good
for speed afterward. The members
