Ex.ravagance is running riot in
Federal, State and municipal
governments, in spite Of the we'll
directed efforts of some excellent
officers. The Indebtedness of the
municipal governments are steadily
piling up, bond issues are ipcreasing
frequent aud the people have not
the satisfaction in many instances
of full equivalent in improvements
for the money expended. And the
Federal Government is leading in
the race of great expenditures. Ere
long the people will demaud re.
form in administrative expenses.
"And they will do it now if they
are made to appreciate the whole
truth.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The Democratic party is not
machite it is body of citizens who
believe that on the whole it's fuuda-
mental principles are best adapted
to the conduct Of the Government.
Among Sd many patriotic add
intelligent men, it is inevitable that
divergence of opinion as to minor
questions and differences of view as
to the correctness of the disposition
OF dead issues should be found. The
party is concededly united today as
to every vital article of faith which
can reasonably enter into the pend
ing canyas.
"Our adversaries are entrenched,
in full possession OF every depart
ment of the Government, aud it is a
mistaken policy that will drive away
voters who would help to GUST them.
The Gauss cannot be advanced by
attacks on others within the party
with whom we have had disagree
ments. but who ara now working
with US for q common result.
"All men who have attained any
degree of prominence have their
friends, and the exercise of ordinary
prudence forbids the alienation of
allies who are willing and anxious
to assist. The coming election is
not to be determined by the Sept
ember vote in hopelessly Republican
States where local Issues and cendi
dates even arc previously hsndi-
capped, but the result in Vermont
on Tuesday admouished us, and
there can be no harm in giving
voice to the admonition-thst harm
onious. cooperation OF all and the,
elimination of personal, fractional
aud unimportsnt differences, inyolv-
ing no surrender OF principle. are
essential to success"

SCHOOL CHILDREN PLEASED
Ask to Have Lectures on Oregon
Repeated.

One of the most extraordinary calls
for information on Oregon comes from
the public schools of Chicago. For
several winters the Chicago Daily
News has been giving series Of free
lectures to the public schools, accom-.
panied by moving pictures, on
different historical places and sub
jects. Last winter series of
pictures taken along the o. r. & N.
railway en- the Columbia river accom-
panied by lecture, where Rolls
the Oregon, was included in these
free entertainments. and from almost
every school in that great city comes
the call for repetition of that in
teresting story and the pictures of
Oregon. 1t is the only instance on
record since this public spirited plan
was begun, in which the pupils have
publicly requested tho rendition of
any of the lectures for the second
time, and shows the deep in terest they
are taking in Oregon.

OASHlNG COLLECTOR
Collects Bad Debts on 10 per
Cent Commission.

The Fridays Oregonian contains
an account Of the doing Of young
collector who has been operating in
the west. He stopped at Grants Pass
last week, operating under a different
name, however, but did no business
so far as We can learn. The Oregon
ian says:
A dashiDg young man possessed of
many suits Of tailored clothing, a
shock OF yellow hair, a striking per-
sonality and answering to the name
of Eugene Came ron, Of New York, "
would be welcome visitor at the
offices of several physicians Of the
city at leading hotel, and incidental
ly at the Police Station.
While Cameron posed as an attorney
and expert collector of bad bills.
the police and others who had dealing
with him declare that to have avoided
sailing under false color it would
have been necessary for him to have
proclaimed himeslf an unmitigated
swindler The police were only pre-
vented from suggesting as much to
him, through their failure to locate
the fellow.
His method Of swindling is original
and one that appeals to all persons
having bad bills to collect, the police
say. While in Portland he confined
his attention to physicians. Just how
many doctors are losers is not known,
although it is thought the number is
not limited, Cameron in approaching
prospective victim, would state
he was an expert collector. The
harder the bill was to collect the
greater pleasure he took IN extracting
the coin from the unwilling debtor,
he would explain.
DIR. Buck gave the young man a
trial on sl25 doctor bill that had
been pigeonholed as hopeless. 1t
developed later that Cameron pre-
sented himself to the lady owing
the amount and offered to take sl5 in
full settlement. Being refused this
amount he reduced it to $40, then
to So and finally to &c. 80, which
amount he received, issuing receipt
for the Same ag n aettlement I'm full
for the amount due the doctor.
The police were notified and Detec-
tive Joe Day was detailed on the case.
He found Cameron had anticipated
police interference by disappearing
without even pausing to pay his hotel
bill.
Descriptions of the young man will
be sent to the police departments of
other cities where it is thought Cam.
eron may head for.

MACHINE TO SAVE GOLD
Colorado Man Clsims to Have
Solved tn. Problem.

II. L. Orr of Greeley, Colorado,
has invented new process for ex.
tracing gold dust from tailings after
all values have apparently been re,
moved. The process is said to be O
complete success. The machine or ap,
paratus has attracted considerable at,
tention.
In looks like 1t might be carpet
cleaner, threshing machine or play.
thing, but Mr.. Orr has confidence
that ii will make money for him and
his associates. The process is called
the Orr & Finley oil process, and
thoroughly covered by patents. the last
one having been granted about ten
days ago.
The machine is not easily described
From the sluice box, raised about
fourteen feet above the ground, the
tailings are run onto sloping plane
Of canvas. The plane is about four
teen feet long by six feet wide. AT
the upper end Of the plane where the
tailings run onto the canvas, oil is
also pumped onto the plane. The
canvas is in the shape Of an endless
belt and moves upward toward the
sluice box, but slow enough 80 that
the oil, silica, water and gold dust
will ron down the canvas against the
motion. The mess is thoroughly
mixed in the process. As is well
known, oil and water will not mix,
but sand and water will. Gold dust
and water will not mix, but gold dust
and oil will, so that when the mix
tore, which seemed homogeneous
mass at the beginning reaches the
lower end Of the plane, tho sand and
water Is gathered in the lower strata
and on top Of this with what gold
dust there might have been left in
the tailings when they came from the
stamp mill, floats the oil.
The entire mass runs into tank
from the canvas. An automatic valve
keeps the water at a certain height in
this tank just high enough so that
the oil and gold dust will run over a
sharp rim into smaller tank. From
there 1t runs automatically into
another metal box fllsd with char
coal. This leaves the gold dust on
the grains Of chracoal, and in due
time this is burned up, leaving the
dust
There Is also an attachment for
saving iron and other minerals that
may be found In the tailinRs.
