The promise Of Charles Becker, the
most infamous and the most clever of
forgers, that he intends to earn an hon
est living seems likely of realization,
says the San Francisco Call. He in
tends to demand the thousand dollars
reward offered by a corporation to any
person who could alter the figures
made by a patent check perforating
machine. Becker did the trick and
paid several years of Imprisonment in
penalty. His nerve appears now to be
equal to his craft.

Investigation has demonstrated that
the responsibility for the Wyoming
Indian outrages rests upon the white
officials, whose indiscretions, injustices
and tyranny drove the red men in des-
peration so revolt. says an exchange.
This information is interesting simply
because il is unusual. 1t is one Of
those isolated cases where the truth is
told in reference to the treatment of
Indians by Americans.

Press dispatches indicate that Gif-
ford Pinchot, chief forester. will be
given full sway, IL the wishes of the
president are gratified. says the West
Coast Lumberman. 1t is the intention
to place Mr.. Pinchot in charge OF the
bureau of forestry, giving him author
ity to handle the vexed problems OF
forestry. The chaotic condition which
has been prevailing for sometime has
come to the ears of the president and it
is hoped that something like order win
be wrought out by different system
of management.

John Thomas, who signs himself "the
ragged bard,' came over from his
Nskipanon home yesterday and called
on a number of his old friends in the
city. Mr.. Thomas is poet of no lit
tie ability and had his environments
been different would doubtless have
won for himself name in the world of
letters. AS it is, he has written poems
of high order, and often delights his
friends reciting them, which he does
ina manner entirely original and very
entertaining. His writings have never
been issued IN book form, but if they
ever are, will likely suit the popular
taste. Mr.. Thomas is now past 80
years of age and has lived for 80
years in Clatsop county. In the early
days he served in the Indian wars, and
was recently granted a pension for his
service on the frontier.

A. Skyles, who returned yesterday
noon from a trip through the VILLAIN
ette valley. reports that there is no
established price on hops and prunes
in that region and that both are being
withheld from the open market until
things are settled sufficiently to allow
The growers to realize something on
their labors. The prevailing conditions
are not occasioned by the market being
glutted, especially with regard to hops,
but are due to the manipulations of
those who control the output.

New York. Sept. 29-The sacrifice
of gilt edge securities by capitalists
who had bitten off too much explain
the continued break in stocks. Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg were particu'
larly hard hit by the slump in Penn,
sylvania, Steel and General Electric.
Traction millionaires dropped fortunes.
1t is rumored they turned over more
large blocks of stock to the Recke-
fellers. Amalgamated Copper was af-
fected by open cuts of quarter to half
a cent a pound in crude copper at pri-
vate sale. The Rockefellers. are ap-
parently utilizing various devices to
keep the ball rolling downwards. The
Standard Oil banks today were calling
large loans, thus forcing a. sale, of
stocks. Some think these financiers
are using the money called in to buy
stocks. A clash. is reported between
these commercial giants and Morgan.
The pressure against Morgan stocks,
particularly the steel trust. in which
new low records were made today has
increased the animosity against that
banker. Morgan tried supporting his
stocks for time, but succeeded poor
