STAYING AT HOME
Because They Insist That He is Dead
and Want to Bury Him.

Chester Mason is not dead,
athough the Portland papers en-
phatical1y announced recently that
he is. He is, however, in
queer predicament. The corpse
down in Portland, announced as
that of Chester, has been identi-
fed by all of his friends as Mason.
The coroner also thinks it is, and
that the assertion of Mason's rela-
tives to the contrary is an effort to
get out of paying the funeral ex-
penses.
Both letters and te1egrams have
been received by Mrs Mason with
reference to the matter. She went
to Portland yesterday on a business
trip, and incidentally to inform the
coroner of the facts. Chester him
self is in that peculiar !predicament
wherein he is afraid that, having
insisted that he is dead, the under
takers will also insist on burying
him. For the present he will steer
clear of Portland, where a grave
seems to yawn for him.

RUNNING NOW
The Benton County Saw Mil1-It Ha
an Increased Capacity.

The big sawmil1 of the Benton
County Lumber Company resumed
operations last Saturday after a
shutdown since the first of last Nov
ember. 1t is the plan of the COM
pany to keep the mill in operation
constantly hereafter, and arrange
ments for facilitating the transpor-
tation of the output with that end
in view is in progress. The demand
for lumber is so great that buyers
and lumber dealers in various parts
of the country are offering to take
the entire output of the mill in
Guiding the inferior grades, and at
prices in keeping with the lumber
quotations all over the coast.
During the shut down the cap
acity of the mill has been increased
by the addition of various kinds of
machinery for the more economical
manufacture of lumber. The cap
acity is now about 10000 feet in
10 hours, making the industry one
of the most important in the county.
During the interim, the capital
of the company has been increased
by the admission, of J. D. Irvine,
late of Brownsville, to partnership,
and the company has been reor-
ganized and incorporated. In the
articles of incorporation recently
filed at the clerks Office, the cap
ital stock is placed at 100000. The
new officers are, M. J. Flynn, pres
ident; S. S. Ewing, treasurer; and
J. D. Irvine. secretary and manag-
er. The principal office is at Cor
wallis. The company has secured
rights of way for a aume for the
transportation of lumber from the
mill to tbs railroad at Philomath.
It also owns an extensive tract
of timber land in the immediate
vicinity of the mill. the standing
timber On which is of the highest
quality, and estimated at IS to 40
million feet. The mill employs 30
to IS men when in active opera
ton.

UNCLE SANS TRIUMPH.

Once more, our country sets the
world signal example in lofty citi'
zenship by the work of Minister
Bowen who has secured reference
of the Venezuelan matter to the
Hague tribunal. The blockade is
raised and thirty per cent OF the
customs receipts of two of her ports
is to be set aside for Venezuela
for the benefit of all her creditors.
The question left to The Hague
Tribunal is as to the principle OF
''preferentia1 treatment claimed by
the allied powers. Apparently tri-
fling as this may seem because OF
the small amount of money invol-
we'd its decision by the Hague Tri-
buna1 will establishsn international
precedent of great future weight
and value.
All the South American states
are deeply interested in the ruling
of the International Supreme Court
on the claim of Great Britain
and Germany that by blockading
and bombardment creditor nations
can put themselves on the footing of
"preferred creditors" The decision
of this question will obviously have
large consequences. morally, polit-
ically and financially. 1t may be
expected to set limits of equity to
the right which stronger nations
claim to collect debts from weaker
ones by force, to the exclusion of
other creditor nations less strong,
which is none other than ''the good
old rule, the simple plan. nnthat he
shall take who has the power and
he shall keep who can"
This reference to The Hague Tri-
buna1 is spoken of as triumph of
the Administration" and "victory
for Mr. Bowen" It is much more
than that. 1t is another great step
gained for the preservation of peace
through the agency of real
Worlds Court of Law and Equity.

REPEAL 1T.

Before it adjourns, the 1egisla-
ture ought to repeal the Mays law
The purpose of that law was to
provide as nearly as possible for
election of senator by direct vote.
1t is a good law. Properly OBJ
served, it would exercise a sa1uta-
~ influence on Oregon senatorial
elections, and that is badly needed.
But the factional majority in the
legislature for the best part of forty
days has overru1ed the law with a
reckless abandon that, done by
democrats, would have provoked a
storm OF criticism and denunciation.
For its effect upon the people,
it matters not how Geer's name
got on the official ballot. It was
there, and there within the provis-
ions and purpose of the law. But of
all the 70 republican members
in the legislative body, only a
slender I6 are supporters of Geer,
and few, if any of them expect or
desire his election, In short, the
law has been set at naught by the
very authority that made It. The
youths of the state have had set be-
fore them glaring example Of
holding statute lightly.
The usefulness of the law has
been destroyed. 1t has been
laughed at and spat upon. The
precedent has been established that
aborts whatever of good the law
promised. There is no chance for
it to be held sacred by the faction
lists of any future legislature. It
were better repealed, SO that motor
ious disregard of a public statute
by high functionaries may not be-
come familiar hereafter to the grow
ing youth of the state.

BRAZILIAN COFFEE.

The .New York Sun OF April I says:
There was an advance OF from ten to
fifteen points in coffee on the Coffee
Exchange today on the report from
Brazil that the Brazilian Congress had
enacted law that 90 per cent. OF the
crop was to be destroyed. with the op.
ton to growers OF paying an extra eX.
port duty of cents bag on the Low
grades. Tue genuineness Of the report
was not verified.
An overproduction Of coffee has re-.
suited In extremely low prices. and IL
has been known for some time that
plans were under discussion In Brazil
TO improve the situation. II was not
thought that the radical action report.
ed today would be adopted. The cof-
fee brokers generally were inclined to
the belief that the report meant that
n tax OF 90 per cent. would be imposed,
and that this would be payable on the
low grades; that is, that one bag out Of
five would go to the Government and
be destroyed by 1t.
Trading was fairly active today, but
sales were not heavy Independent OF
the reported dispatch from Brazil
there was a feeling that there should
be a reaction after the recent de-
clines. Arbuckle Brothers today re-
duced the price of their brand OF pack.

81 cents net. The decline was attribu.

only $500 a year None Of the posi-
lions, however, are paid lower than
