Bio Money Order Loss.

GAINESVILLE. Wis, Gazette: Henry A.
Castle. auditor for the p~ostofice de-
partment, shows an unnal shortage OF
a half million dollars or more in the
money order system. The opposition
TO the post check currency plan comes
largely from his bureau because the
new currency would practically abolish
the money order system.
This opposition should not be per-
mitted to block the establishing Of a
currency that combines a safe and on
venient draft for remittance, with a
reliable circulating medium. The post
CHECK currency seeks to benefit the

of friends and no enemies, outside Of
a limited class who oppose 1t because
of self interest.

present session of congress and ii will.
If public sentiment becomes sufficiently
aroused to express to congressman it's
views on the subject. Letters to ON
gressmen from their constituents win
aid the cause.

BUSINESS Is RUINED.
With the Tax of 10 Cents Per Pound
Enforced, Oleo Factories Can't
Continue Production.

Washington, Dec. 21.-'If the United
States supreme court holds the law I'M
posing a tax of 10 cents a pound on oleo-
margarine colored in imitation Of butter
constitutional there will be no further
legislation On this subject" said Repre-
sentative Lorimer, las all the oleo fac

This industry has been ruined by the
law. and 1 know one concern which is
running its plant at a loss of $4,000 a
month merely to keep the organization
intact pending the decision OF the court.
If that body stands by the law there will
will be no necessity for further legisla-
lion, but If it decides the law IS uncon-
ititutional then something must be done.
IF the people choose to purchase col
bred oleo knowing what it is, no decep-

compel them 10 pay a high price for an
'rticle of diet which they desire TO use."

r BOY PROBLEM.
One Summary of the Whole Common,
sense GosoeI of the Movement.

From Alice Katharine Fallows' Temp
tations to Be Good" in the December Cen
fury: Not long ago, a minister of the adj
vance guard in social ideas, who has a
parish house in one Of the most crowded
blocks of New York, was explaining his
work to a visitor interested in the boy
problem.
1--WE have n club ROOM" he said, where
our older boys and men play pool or bill
lizards, or have any game of cards they
like hat Is not gambling"
The visitor, whose religious ideas a
not been revised since the rigid days of
her youth, gasped. You don't mean that
you permit those nominations under the
wing Of the church." she asked-"in the
shadow of the sanctuary, one might say?''
Certainly, madam was the answer
w think the devil has had a monopoly
of these amusements long enough. They
are harmless in themselves. The saloon
used them as a bait for drunkenness and
vice. We use them to tempt boys back to
morality. You can't fight a devil who
offers shelter, light, warmth and comfort
to those who have none, with good advice
and tracts on a cold street corner"
In this one sentence Is the whole com;
mon sense gospel of the new movement
to take a boy as he is, not as he ought
to be, n to give him what he lacks.

NEW FLYING MACHINE.
This One, Contrary to Established
Rules, Knows How 20 Fly.

EttfS~b Ntt0We tIOW W rye
Norfolk. Va. Dec. 2t.-A successful
trial OF a flying machine was made
yesterday near Kitty Hawk. N. c., by
Wilbur and Orville Wright Of Dayton,
o. The machine flew for three miles
in the face of a wind blowing at a reg
istered velocity of Il miles an hour,
and then gracefully descended to the
earth at a spot selected by the man in
the n~avigator's car as suitable land
ing place. The machine has no balloon
attachment, but gets it's force from
~propellers worked by a small engine.
Preparatory to its flight the machine
was placed upon a platform lei Kit
ty Hawk, on a high sand hill. When
all was in readiness the fastening to
the machine was released and Ii start
ed down an incline. Navigator Will
bur Wright then started the email
gasoline engine which worked the pro-
pellors. When the end of the incline
was reached the machine gradually
rose until II obtained an altitude of six
ty feet. In the face of a strong wind
1T maintained an even speed OF eight
miles an hour.
The idea of a box kite has been adj
hered to in the basic formation of the
flying machine. A huge framework Of
light tilnbers 33 feet wide, 5 feet deep
and 5 feet across the top forms the ma
chine proper. In the center IL the nav
igator's car and suspended just below
the bottom of the plane is a small gas
oline engine which furnishes the mo-
tive power for propelling and for ele-
waiting the wheels. There are two six
blade propellers, one arranged Just be-
low the frame so as to exert an upward
force when in motion, and the other ex-
tends horizontally to the rear from the
center of the car. furnishing the for
ward impetus. Protruding from the
center of the car is a huge fa~n-shaped
rudder of canvas stretched upon a
frame of wood. This rudder is on
trolled by the navigator and may be
moved to Zach side, raised or lowered.

COPPER WITH A HISTORY.
Cent That Determined the Name of tn
Oregon Metropolis.

Oregon Metropolis.
Portland ~Oregonian: +. w. Petty
grove, son of f. w. Pettygrove. one of
the founders of Portland, and the man
who named the city. has in his possess
sion the copper cent with which his
father won the right to select the
name. He is a commercial traveller for
Il San Francisco house, and naturally
sets great store by this cent, which he
has shown to many here on his visits
to this city. Some of his friends have
besought him to turn this cent over to
the Oregon Historical society to be
preserved, but he has not been able to
make up his mind to do this. George
II. Hines, secretary of the society, has
been advised to wrestle with Mr.. Pet
tygrove, and it is not unlikely that he
may succeed in securing this historical
coin. Mr.. ~Pettygrove has also in his
possession the bible. used on the occa-
sion OF the first sermon ever preached
In Portland, which. with the cent, was
presented to him by his father as a
keepsake.
In was in the summer of 1916 that
A. L. Lovejoy n +. w. Pettygrove,
who owned the claim on which Port
land was located, employed Thomas
A. Brown to survey their property and
lay 1t off into streets. blocks and lots.
and Wen he had completed the plat
the ploprietors undertook to choose a
name for the newly born city. Mr..
Lovejoy desired hat 1T be called Bos-
ton. In n of the capital of his ma
tive state. Mr.. Pettygrove contended
that Portland was more appropriate.
as it was at the head of navigation and
the port where would land all the
freight intended for the valley of the
Willamette and all the southern pro-
duce of the territory. In order to de-
eide the question it was proposed by
Mr.. Pettygrove to toss a copper cent.
which he had brought with him as n
souvenir of his eastern home. This
was agreed to by Mr.. Lovejoy. The
cent was tossed and Mr.. Pettygrove
proving the winner, Portland was
adopted as the name of the embryo
eity.

PLAYED THE G S.
California College Secretary Under Ar
rest for LOSING It's Funds.

Berkeley, Cal, Dee. 2l.-An attempt
to pay a racetrack debt with a check
drawn by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst caused
the arrest of w. A. McKowen, secre-
tary Of the board of regents of the
University Of California, today as a de-
faulter.
After his arrest McKowen confessed
to President Benjarain Ide Wheeler
that he had taken $40, 200, and possibly
more. Most of the money was lost at
he racetrackS.
The check which caused Secretary
McKowen's downfall was made out to
him personally by Mrs. Hearst to pay
college scholarships. The check was
for 81 100, and was handed over by Nc
Kowen to Bookmaker John Davis in
payment of markers on the races for
81, 120. Davis gave McKowen $40 in
change and deposited the check in the
Western National bank. Davis recent
ly was barred from the track, and he
has been clearing up his accounts. 1t
is probable he had threatened McKow-
en- with exposure if he did not pay up.
The fact that Mrs. Hearst's name was
signed to a check in the hands of a
boOkmaker at once called attention to
1t.
President Wheeler Takes Action.
II have suspended McKowen from
Office pending the action Of Governor
Pardee, who is president of the board
Of regents, and nave placed the office
in charge temporarily OF my private
secretary, Victor Henderson," said
President Wheeler.
From what we nave thus far learn
ed it appears that McKowen at differ
ent times since 1898 has used sums of
money that came into his hands and in
stead of depositing them with the
treasurer, whether as fees or donations
Of the university, has appropriated
them to his w use.
He covered this up, as far as we
know, by taking corresponding
amounts from university funds and
charging them as expenditures under
the head of one or the other university
funds. SO far as we know in this fiscal
year the loss amounts to $4,000. The
total amount we do not know. He said
he thought 1t would be 500, 900 or more.
He had spent it on the racetrack."
