SENATOR M'GINN RESIGNS
Says His Private Business Affairs
Demand His Whole Attention.

State Senator H. E. McGinn, Of
Multnomah county, has handed his
resignation to Governor Chamberlain,
giving as reason for his action that
his private business demands his en-
tire attention. While it is a awell-known
fact that Senator McGinn is busy
man, there are many who believe that
he has reasons for handing in his
resignation at this time that have not
been given to the public.
Tuesdays Salem Statesman says
"Some facts have been known to OBJ
serving friends of Senator McGinn for
a long time. One is that his political
and Legislative enthusiasm showed de-
cided abatement during the last ses-
sion. He didn't seem happy among
his associates from the metropolis.
Things weren't moving the way he
was accustomed to see them go and at
no time was there any evidence of his
wonted fire and virility. Since the
close of last session he hasn't smiled
approvingly upon the manipulation Of
the machinery of Multnomah county
there are hands at the crank which he
does not look upon with confidence.
but he has found no means to break
loose their hold, so it is highly
probable that he has decided to pull
in his political sails entirely until the
winds blow from a more favorable di'
rection and that he will steer his bark
into the placid waters of the business
sea, where his law practice is fast in
creasing, and where his forensic elo
quence and ability will bring him
more substantial returns"

Good Roads in Eastern Polk.

The residents of Spring Valley held
a meeting at zena recently and started
a movement for the improvement of
the roads in that vicinity. George b.

purchase Of road grader. 1t was
stated that the county court would
meet the farmers half way and con-
tribute in cash an amount equal to
the work that shall be donated by the
people interested in the work. With
this understanding a committee was
appointed composed Of Samuel Phil

BRAKEMAN ELuDEs OFFICERS.
Gives Hampton Constable Chase and
Makes Good His Escape.

A rather amusing story is going the
rounds amolsg Iowa Central employees
which has to do with the merry time
Il Hampton constable had in attempt
ing to arreSs Ray Fuller, a brakeman
for the conn amy, who lives in Oskaloo-
sla. AS the story is told Fuller at the
time. was running with Conductor ED"
Clifford ON No. 81. AT Chaplin the sta
ton agent, Peter Neehen, wanted some
switching done, and he and Fuller had
some words over 1T which ended in
Fuller knocking the agent down. The
following dsy, when the crew was
coming south, green and white flag
greeted the engineer at Chaplin, and
a constable was on hand with a war
rant for Ftliers arrest. Applying to
Clifford for information the officer was
told Fuller was ahead packing hot
box. and while the constable made his
way forward, the crew gave the engdn-
eer the high ball" and the constable
was left behind. In the meantime
Hampton had been telephoSled and
when the rain reached there Fuller,
who was busy transferring butter, was
accosted b. another constable who
asked him II he was FAlber Fuller
told him no, that the man he was look
ing for was ON ahead. While the Off
Ger plodded up one side of the train
Fuller ran ahead on the other side and
continued on south OF Hampton about
a half mile, where he caught the train
as 1t pulled thru. To Ackley the con-
stable rode in the caboose. while Full
Ter was ahead riding in the engine cab.
AT Ackley the engineer cut off his en-
CINE as soon as he stopped, and ran by
the station, leaving Fuller again a half
mile or SO south. When the engineer
returned to the train the constable, on
asking what he did that for, was told
that the locomotive was run down and
back just to pump her UP a little"
The officer gave up the chase when the
train pulled out, but the Chaplin agent,
having complained to headquarters,
Fuller was ordered TO quit when the
train reached Pickering.

NATURE SPARES
The stricken Rose From Grief.

What fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering: for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height Of its
blooming glory that canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
etore-house of pleasing rewards. for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
OF young women. but thanks to the in
