countered many obstacles while en-
gagged In this work, but moved steadily
onward, and had the hearty assistance
and cooperation Of the department OF
justice in bringing the criminals TO
justice.
These frauds have been more far
reaching than the country suspected,
and the task of unearthing them and
securing the necessary proofs has been
difficult one, but there has been no
abatement in the intention to overcome
all difficulties and secure the convic-
ton Of the land thieves. No one will
be shielded, whether high or low, and
the work of prosecution will be vigor-
ously carried on.

Washington Morals Seem to Need
a Deal Of Fixing.
GOVERNOR MEAD IS AFTER IT
Divorce While You Wait 10 He Stopped,
Recommendation on 'tiasty
Trial Of Criminal Prosecution
VIII Be Made Also.

Bellingham. WASH. Dec. THE d.
vorce evil and the prevention of un-
necessary delays In the prosecution OF
prisoners will be two OF the importan,
things dealt with In Governor-elect
Mead's first message TO the Legislature
OF the state of Washington.
Mead believes that more strict laws
should be passed regulating the secur-
ing OF divorces. His friends say that
he will recommend law providing that
persons desiring II divorce shall be re-
Iquired to file proceedings with the court
six months before the~decree may be
granted. This law would make the act
of divorced person marrying q third
person within six months bigamy
which is punishable anywhere I'm the
United States,
As a supplement to the divorce rec
concentrations II Is believed that Mead
will advocate that law be passed
making II felony for a husband to
desert his wife and family. The GOV.
ernor- elect believes that the present
regulations OF divorce and desertion are
entirely too liberal. That premium is
placed on hasty marriages by the idea
that II the union Is not a happy one
that II may be dissolved by the courts
Friends who are close to the gov
ernor select say that he believes that
the time is ripe for a revision OF the
statutes which cause long and tedious
delays after a criminal Is arrested until
his trial or appeal Is taken up by the
courts. II is believed that he viii ad-
vocate that the time consumed In the
trial Of a criminal and a hearing In the
court Of appeals be lessened by one
half.
Il Is asserted that Mead believes that
much OF the delay is caused by the
courts allowing time to be consumed by
stipulatlons and trivial motions. Also
that he believes that court stenogra-
lphers should be paid by the county In
every instance. This. It is said, would
result in the handing In of the trans
cript OF case or the findings of fact
without delay.
In the supreme court It Is understood
that Mead believes that great cnange
should be made by the taking up of.all
terminal cases Immediately after appeal
and set aside civil suits for the time
being In which people In the state at
large have no interest.

One Man Loses HIS Life and Three
Others Are Hurt.
ACCIDENT ON LOGGING ROAD
AUGUST Larson Dies Within Few Mo.
nents After Cars Crash into
a Locomotive Standing on
the Main Line.

August Larson is dead, and Anton
Brix and Nels Olson are seriously IN
tured as the result of an accident on
the Grays Bay Logging Company's
road.
Five trucks with supplies and ma
terial had been unioaded and were be-
ing returned to the supply camps when
IL was noticed the train had parted. A
stop was made to couple the cars, but
IN the darkness the coupling was not
made, and when down grade was
reached the three cars in front left the
train and plunged down the incline.
Four men were on the trucks, but they
did not jump. as they supposed the
ears would come to a stop on another
grade where they expected to block
them and wait for the engine. However,
when the foot OF the grade was reached
the trucks met another engine on the
main line. and into this they crashed.
When the headlight of the engine ap-
peared. Herman Hansen took chance
and jumped for his life. He struck
heavily and rolled down the grade, but
he should recover. The cars jack
ripped" one going under the other, and
Larson was horrible bruised and man
gied. dying few moments after being
extricated from the debris. The others
were seriously. but. it is thought. not
fatally hurt.
This is the second accident on this
road in a short time. There is no re-
xponsibility placed, as the accident is
the direct result of carelessness on the
part OF the injured men, any of whom
might be supposed to know the grade
conditions, and to guard against such
a happening. The cars were not defect

RETURNED FROM THE EAST.
w. r. Hume Returns From an Extend
ed Visit to Eastern Cities.

W. ns rNuFuG hGhdNBo NStA ah ANN~''~
ed Visit to Eastern Cities.
w. r. Hume returned Sunday even-
ing from an extended visit in the east.
He visited all the principal cities In
the interest of his mill business. De-
mand for lumber has been at stand
still the past three months. Even the
railroad companies have cut out all
orders, and building operations have
been temporarily suspended, This has
had a depressing effect on the lumber
market. A reaction is apparent, says
Mr.. Hume, and building operations will
soon commence. The extension of rail-
road lines will make an increased de-
mand for lumber, and the indications
point to lively business this winter.
Stocks have been allowed to run low,
until the supply is nearly exhausted
and large orders are now being placed
for oregon fir and spruce. These or
ders will increase and win keep all the
mills on the Pacific coast busy supply
ing orders.
Mr.. Hume visited the worlds fair at
st. Louis. He states that oregon was
well represented at the game and for
estry building, the exhibits being equal
to, If not superior to those of any other
state. The exhibit Of the Hume mill
was conspicuous and attracted consid-
srabIe attention. No better advertise
ment could have been made for Clat-
sop county than that furnished by this
mill. While the oregon building itself

Ripe. Red. Rosy.

George Krausse was in from La
Flor de Mayo, yesterday with SAM
pies of his tomato crop, and to say
they were fine, only mildly express
es it. The tomatoes were ripe, red
and rosy, and had the appearance
of large apples. Mr.. Krausse says
he has lots of tomatoes, cabbage,
beets, corn, ETC., and that every
thing IS fourishing nicely. Tomato
growing is not an experiment in
this section. Mr.. Krausse's sue.
cess has been the experience of all
who have given tomatoes the prop
er culture. Green corn at Christ
mas is something of which few
sections can boast, yet the Browns
vile citizen can enjoy this luxury
as a part of his Christmas menu,
grown almost at his own door.
It has been said by some, who are
not familiar with the wonderful
propagating qualities of our soil,
that tomato plants grow too large to
bear will. This can be refuted by
the Krausse specimens yesterday,
and also by others engaged in the
same business. The plants grow
large, which affords ample room
and sustenance for fine yields of
and the returns are sat
whenever the proper
methods have been employed.
