City, was in Salem yesterday, having
been brought down to the capital by
the fierce political contest in progress.
MIR. Carter first learned of the bill pro-
viding for summer normal at New

this city, and was very much chagrinsd,
saying that the people of his section
were unit in demanding the passage
OF the BILL Mr.. Carter says that coun.
try is in very prosperous condition,
and with the new industries opening
up the future is very bright. The.

turned 100000 young salmon loose into
the river and this year they expect TO-
100000 to be released to grow and be
caught again.
Mr.. Carter said that Yaquina Bay
would beat the world producing fine
oysters, and he looks for rapid develop
ment of this new industry.-salem

A Narrow Escape.

Miss Stella Bergen, the Yaquina Bay
Mercantile Company's popular and
efhclent clerk, sustained severe injuries
tuesday morning by falling from n
porch in the rear of the store to the
ground below-a distance of petween l5
and l6 feet. The accident was caused
by Miss Bergen stepping upon a loose
board at the outer edge of the porch.
M' N. Anderson, the only person who
witnessed the accident, Immediately
summoned assistance and the unfortuu-
ate young lady was carried into krog-
stad's drug store where DIR. Wetmore
dressed bad scalp wound, requiring
nine wide stitches. Miss Bergen re-
gained consciousness within few min.
utes after the accident, and in the after
noon was carried TO her fathers launch
on cot and taken to her home across
the bay. In addition to the large cash
on her head, evidently caused by con,
tact with the edge of board, Miss
Bergen sustained some painful bruises,
but after all, her escape from death
seems almost miraculous. DR.. Wet
more, who is in attendance, reports
Miss Bergen getting along surprisingly
well This is welcome news to her
host of sympathizing friends.

Unfortunate Fred.

Fred Weatherford came in from AL.
bany last Friday evening to begin
spring work on his homestead. Fred
Is the best equipped rancher in the
country, his outfit consisting of a cam
era. rifle, an axe with razor edge n
patent camp cadorance, bottle of gar
CLING oil aud numerous other conven-
fences and luxuries. Our Corvallis cor
respondent puts us next to little
misfortune which befell Fred at that
place while on his way to Toledo One
of Albany's popular and estimable
young ladies was on the G. & L. train
with Fred as far as Corvallis, where she
intended to board the west side train
for Independence. When the C. & e.
pulled into Corvallis Fred assured the
young lady that she mad plenty of time
in which to make the transfer; that the
two trains would get alongside and
make the switch easy. While Fred was
telling her all about II the west side
train gracefully glided away toward In
dependence. Our young farmer, how
ever, is thoroughbred. The young lady,
reached Independence, and Fred pnt,
up $4 for the livery rig. If that bit of
conversation was worth 81 minute,
that is Freds business. Later-We re.
gret to announce that an unlucky
stroke with that razor-edged axe, while
doing some work on his place, landed
on Fred's left foot, completely severing
one toe, and badly gashing two Others.
Fred came through on the train from
faqulna yesterday morning on his way
back to Albany, and we were unable to
obtain full particulars regarding the
accident. The young mans many
friends here extend earnest sympathy.

Going Skyward.

special from Dallas, Or, to the
Salem Statesman, under date of Feb.
ruary %, SAYS:
AS an evidence of the advanced value
OF timber claims in Oregon is the sale
of 16O-acre tract southwest of Dallas
and two miles south Of Falls City by
Allie Teal, son of j. B. Teal, county
commissioner, for the snug sum OF
$1,000. It is reported also that j. B.
Teal, who has sawmill interest in the
same locality, has sold out also for q
large amount, and will retire from the
milling business on competency. The
Teals went into the timber many years
since and were scoffed at and called
wood-rats, while now the same people
kick themselves on account of the want
of foresight. This tract brought $43. .75
per acre, which ia as much as the very
best improved valley land is worth, and
while 1t is said to be an excellent tim.
ber tract, it not by far as valuable as
thousands of acres six or seven miles
farther west, in the Siletz basin and
the mountains surrounding the basin.
This is the country that will be tapped
by the Salem, Falls City & Western
Railway, commonly known as the Dal.
las & Falls City Railroad.
Allie Teal is native Oregonian and
is one of the exceptions to the rule that
Oregonians haye not availed them
selves of their rights to procure timber
claims, for it is fact that the "old
timers" as we'll as the native born,
were Indifferent or did not realize the
coming value of the splendid forests of
the Pacific coast until the eastern peo.
pie had come here in such numbers as
to amount to an invasion, and now, too
late, the pathetic fact has dawned upon
them that many pioneer who really
needs the money has no claim, though
he has had every opportunity and
cleared the way and made it possible
for strangers, backed by timber syndi-
Gates, to reap golden harvest, yet he
has done nothing for himself, and at
this time finds the timber all taken.
and as fast as the law will permit, is
passing into the hands of capitalists,
which is eminently proper for the good
Of the country, as it is impossible for
small holders to build railroads and
ercct manufacturing plants, which
must be done to reach and work raw
material.

ADVENTURE IN VENEZUELA.
English Member of Parliament He
Iates Quaint Experience.

A member of the British parliament,
according to "A London cable dispatch
to the Chicago Inter Ocean, tells a
quaint story of adventure In Venezuela
In times past.
A baronet, while on visit to the re-
public, had interviews with certain
members of the government. He dined
with them in the evening and retired
at late hour He was awakened from
his sleep by noise In his room and
saw. as he thought, one of his hosts

Concluding that this was a polite
custom of the country, the visitor re-
turned to sleep. but In the morning he
found his trousers upon the floor their
pockets turned inside out. His old
fashioned, highly decorated chain
purse was gone, but Its contents Were
on the ground. His gold edged cigar
case and some gold charms attached
to his fob had also vanished.
The Englishmen went straight TO the
seat of government and complained to
one of the ministers. who expressed
dlsmay and was thereupon informed
that the person seen In the room bore a
resemblance to himself
Every strange" replied the minister,
''for there is no one alive who resem-
bles me-"
"In that case" replied his visitor
dryly, you should have no difficulty
In securing the restoration of my prop

Later in the day the Englishman dis,
covered an anonymous package upon
his table. Opening the cover he found
all the missing articles save the gold
edged cigar case and one of the charms,

Gastronomic Standard Needed.

We read frequently in the public
prints of claims set up by various per-
sons in divers sections of the country
to the honor of gastronomic champion
ship. 1t must be admitted that these
claims are frequently well founded, but
the difficulty in awarding the prize lies
In the fact that there is no generally
accepted standard for the measurement
of such feats.
The latest aspirant for the honor of
being called champion eater Of the
world" is favorite son Of Alabama.
He Is named Milan, and he is called
Gap" He first achieved notoriety by
eating six dozen oysters at sitting.
Lately the young men of Alexander
City, where he lives, have been making
wagers with him about his capacity.
Recently he ate 1913 bananas, win
ming 81 by so doing. and declared his
intention Of eating 125 next time if
some one would give him $40 for it.
All this would be more to the young
mans credit if he had not made his
record on a sort of food not customari-
ly used In contests.
And just here comes in the necessity
of gastronomic standard. When one
man consumes bananas, another BIZ
valves, still another ice cream and
fourth broken glass and swords, how Is
discriminating public to tell which is
the most eminent eater? At the very
outset there arise such perplexing ques-
lions as these: How many crulers
equal ham? If A eats whole tur-
key and B eats eighty-two cream puffs,
which wins? A man who can swallow
bushel of buttered popcorn often
quails before cubic inch of suet pud-
ding.
There may be many aspirants for
gastronomic distinction who perform
noble and heroic acts worthy of hon
orable mention, but clearly there can
be but one simon pure champion. And
this cannot be satisfactorily settled I'M
til definite standard is adopted.
In New York and some other places
the capacity of the human stomach is
systematically and legally measured in
beefsteaks. With the present high

PACIFIC THE WAR CENTER.
Max Nordau Predicts Gigantic Strug-
KleA on Great Ocean.

Max Nordau Predicts Gigantic StruE-
gles on Great Ocean.
In the course of an exhaustive review
Of the history of the world, contributed
to the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna by
Max Nordau. the writer, speaking Of
the future Of the new world, says the
opening Of the Panama canal under
American ownership will mark the be-
ginning Of q new epoch. The tragic
stage Of the worlds history, which in
ancient times centered in the Mediter-
ranean and which moved in the naval
ages to the Atlantic, will then be trans
ferred to the Pacific ocean.
At first the Anglo Saxon element will
seek to drive out the German and
French flags floating over single points
in the Pacific ocean; then the struggle
will be carried farther to the Asiatic
coast, where Anglo Saxons and Rus
slams will have to decide the momen-
tous world question Of whether eastern
and southern Asia shall remain British
or Russian. To this forecast M. Nor
dau adds:
Zone can only imagine with horror
what such gigantic struggle Of ma
tons and races will signify"

The Partition of Morocco.

The cable dispatches which come
from Tangier would seem to indicate
that the sultanate of Morocco is in
process of disintegration. The power
of Sultan Mulai Abdul-Aziz is APP
parently collapsing. and as three or
four European states have been con-
templating the annexation of consid-
cradle sections of that great region the
present crisis in the country tends to
bring their schemes to point.
Spain has small foothold on the
Moroccan coast and wants much more
of the country. Deprived Of her West
Indian and Asiatic colonies, she covets
this virgin field of settlement and en-
terprise which lies at her own door,
and she would logically appear to be
entitled to the field.
But France has designs on Morocco
which evidently must be taken into &C.
count should it come to the point OF
partition. The Algerian domain, all
French, encroaches steadily on Moroc-
can territory. The western frontier OF
Algeria is upon wheels. 1t moves near
er and nearer toward the Atlantic. Will
it reach the ocean at last, leaving TO
Spain only the Mediterranean fringe
opposite Gibraltar?
That is question which the settle
ment of the present difficulty in Moroc-
co may answer. Besides, there are 9TH
er European powers eager for terri
torial possessions outside their present
limits which are likely to take hand
in the game. Apparently Europe has
more important business nearer home
than the collection of a comparatively
insignificant debt from weak and i'm
potent South American state.

LESLIE SHAW'S SOeRlQUET,
Farmers out In Iowa Call the secre-
tary apple Tree" shaw.

Very few people know that Secretary
Shaw of the treasury department Is IA
miliarly referred TO out in Iowa as ZAP
pie Tree" Shaw. or If they ever heard
of his sobriquet are ignorant Of the
way he obtained it, says a Washington
special TO the st. Louis Republic.
When Mr.. Shaw was young man,
making a struggling effort TO obtain an
education. little dreaming that he would
ever he member of the presidents
cabinet. he used TO be the agent for
nursery. In vacation season he can
vaSsed one county after another, sell
Ing trees to farmers. His speciality
was apple trees.
lie was the best salesman the nursery
firm had, and it is said Of him that he
is responsible for half the apple crop
of Iowa. Ii is no unusual thing for the
average IIawkeye farmer to point with
pride to the long rows of apple trees in
his orchard, bowed heavy with luscious
fruit, and say that Apple Tree" Shaw
sold him the trees.
Huh! You don't know Apple Tree
Shaw? Reckon you never had a right
smart of dealings lately with the Unit
ell States treasury, for Apple Tree
Shaw, he's the man that's running that
institution down in Washington just
now"
The future secretary of the treasury
rarely ever approached farmer with
an available piece of ground and failed
to make a sale. His genial manners
won him customers, as they have won
him friends and supporters in after life,
and there is many man in Iowa who
set out an orchard because Mr.. Shaw
made him buy the trees, even though
he did not think he wanted them. who
now is mighty glad he was induced to
purchase them.

PLAN TO ABOLISH STAMPS.
Special Wrapper SUGGESTED For
PACKAGE. of Merchandise.

Package. of Merchandise.
Mr.. Madden. the third assistant post
master general at Washington, Is the
author Of a suggestion calculated 10
nnd great favor with manufacturers,
merchants aud advertisers whose bust
ness compels them to send large guam
titles Of circulars or small packages Of
merchandise through the mails. says
the ST. Louis Globe Democrat. Gcner-
al Madden proposes 10 do away with
the afiixing Of stamps TO Identical
pieces OF printed matter or TO articles
OF merchandise. The person sending
this class of matter through the mail
will simply pay the amount of postage
required to the postmasters. whereupon
the goods will go through the same as
though each piece bore stamp. Gen
eral Madden also proposes TO abandon
the work OF canoeing and dating these
parcels, thus efiecting large saving Of
time In the handling of this class OF
mail matter.
THE stamping of circulars and small
articles Of merchandise is time kill
ing employment" said General Madden
I'm discussing his proposition. Houses
that send out great quantities Of cir
culars and merchandise packages are
required to employ clerks for the pur-
pose of stamping the mail matter. Then
when this is delivered at the pOStofiice
the stamp clerk wastes enough time in
looking for the stamps on Il package TO
stamp and distribute a dozen letters.
Manufacturers are constantly making
complaint that their goods are being
damaged by the cancellation process.
Calendars are subject TO damage every
time a postal clerk takes shot with
canceling stamp. Fountain pens and
other manufactured goods are fire.
quently ruined in this manner"
General Madden's plan calls for the
preparation of a special wrapper TO be
sold by the department to the large
users of mails.
