viii Not RepIv.

The Oregonian, in commenting on
the recent circular issued against
Archbishop Christie and a number of
Catholic priests, says:
IF the traducers of Archbishop
Alexander Christie and the Catholic
clergy of Oregon hoped to have the
archbishop answer their charges, their
hopes and desires have missed fire. At
the archbishop's residence yesterday
afternoon it was learned that the arch.
bishop, under no circumstances, would
answer the attacks made upon him in
the circular, which not only was sent
to Rome, but scattered broadcast
throughout Oregon and Washington.
THE archbishop is fully aware who
is the originator of the circulars which
seek to besmirch his good name, but
he is holding himself aloof from criti.
cism of the person himself. His
treatment Of the charges will be a dig.
nifed silence, although it is under.
stood hat others will take up the ac-
cu~sations, and answer them in due
time.
THE attacks upon Archbishop
Christie and the Catholic clergy of Or.
egon are generally supposed to be the
work of one Joseph Schell, a pam
phleteer, who, had he lived in the days
of DR.. Johnson, would have been in
his element. Had any other person
saw Schell been the author of the cir
cular, the Catholic clergy and laymen
would have been more thoroughly
reused than they are; but Schell's
prediction for using virulent Ian
guage is so we'll known that he is not
taken seriously.
"Schell has dragged the Right Rev.
G. j.. O'Reilly, bishop of Baker City,
into his charges, seeking to establish
the impression that there is an es-
arrangement between Archbishop Chris
tie and Bishop O'Reiliy. This is also
groundless, for Bishop O'Reilly has
been and is the guest of the archbishop
in Portland for several days, and he
resents the attack upon Archbishop.
Christie, and the attempt to injure
the Catholic church"

the witness stand.
My name is j. A. French, reside in
South Salem, am a carpenter. He
stated where the Bank" saloon is lo-
Gated. The prosecution tried to es-
tablish by the witness the "reputed
ownership" which was objected to by
the defence. Mr.. Holmes, in behalf
of Mr.. Rogers is only charged with
keeping open" the saloon in ques-
tion, and resists the attempt to fix
the "reputed" ownership. Mr.. Kaiser
pointed out that under the statute the
question was who kept the place open.
He showed that it was admitted that
Mr.. Rogers was not there, and that,
under the complaint, he could not be
prosecuted, but that the person who
kept it open should be made the de-
PENDANT. Mr.. McNary then proceeded
to show than an owner is accountable
for the acts of his employees.
The attorneys were concluding their
arguments when The Journal went to

LARGE
BIRD
CROP
PheaSantS Were Not Injured
by the Heavy Spring
Rains

Sportsmen are eagerly looking for
ward to the open season for Chinese
pheasants, as it is evident that the
shooting will be better than ever be-
fore. Everyone who has had occasion
to go through the farming districts
has noticed that the supply of young
birds is unusually plentiful. One can
not drive through the wheat lands in
amy direction, without frequently
starting up large iocks of the beaut!
full game birds.
AS a general thing, a large percent
age of the birds are killed each year
by the rains soon after they are
Matched. This year, however, there
was no rain until the young p~heasants
were strong enough to survive it. For
this reason there will be almost twice
as many birds as last year.
The pheasants are less timid, too,
than formerly, owing to a strlcter en-
forcement Of the game laws. A few
years ago illegal hunting was so COM
mon that the pheasants became wild,
and sportsmen had difficulty in getting
within range of them after the season
opened. Illicit hunting has now been
almost entirely abandoned, and the
birds are easily approached up to the
beginning of the open season.
