Other than the havin Of gthe same king,
there is little in common between the

"Norway is the country Of the two
which has the great foreign commerce.
Sweden has foreign representatives.

CRUSHED BY ROLLING LOG
Lester Myer Meets Almost Instant
Death In TllIamOOk County
Lumber Camp.

Lester Myer, the 1s-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Anan Myer, Of Dolph,
was crushed between two logs and
almost instantly killed last Thursday.
Hewas repairing fender, when log
rolled down the hill and pinioned him
against the butt of another log, crush
ing his right leg and breaking it
above the knee. He was taken to
Tillamook for surgical treatment but
died from the effects Of his injuries a
few hours after reaching that city.
His father was called to his bedside
and arrived in Tillamook about two
hours before the young man died. The
remains we're brought to Dallas, and
we're given burial Saturday afternoon.
Lester was a bright, industrious
young man, and gave promise Of be-
coming a useful citizen. His untimely
death is a sad blow to his fond parents
and is mourned by many friends.

Fake Eye Doctors squeIched.

The new law to license those who
practice optometry is playing havoc
with alleged eye doctors who travel
about the state telling every man,
woman and child that they are ruin
ing their eyes for the lack of glasses,
says the Grants Pass Courier. Out of
list of 80 applicants examined in
Portland last week. only two persons
passed. The questions were simple,
and as free from technicalities as pos
sible, and the result of the examina-
ton proves conclusively that a
majority Of these so-ealled opticians
know little or nothing about the eye.
The new law will have tendency to
check the host Of eye takers who have
ruined more eyes that they have saved.
The following Polk county opticians
have been issued license to practice
optometry: Dr. S. A. Bartlett, A. II.
Harris and @. HI. Morris, of Dallas
0. A. Kramer, of Independence; G. J.
Pugh, of Falls City, and Irving Mat
thews, of Ballston.

TWO MILLION MARK PASSED
Attendance at Lewis and Clark Fair
Exceeds Highest Estimates
of Promoters.

With the two million mark passed,
and prospects excellent for rolling up
another half million before the gates
are closed for the last time on the
night of October IA, the Lewis and
Clark Exposition is an assured f1nan-
cial success. The remarkable attend
ance demonstrates also that the Fair
has pleased the people, and that is
another source of gra tification. 1t is
evident that the enormous attendance
could not have been rolled up unless
the Fair had received frequent testi-
monials from early visitors.
1t is evident now that the Fair will
be, in point Of attendance and in every
other respect, the most successful Ex-
position ever held. Comparisons with
the records made at the Transmits
sissippi Exposition at Omaha, an Ex-
position of about the same magnitude
as that now drawing to a close, and
which has been generally conceded to
1ONO OCCh lLlOOb DuCCCOOlul Va oil ICll
show that the Exposition will outdo
the showing made by the eastern en-
terprise. This is considered more re-
markable when the statement is made
that Omaha had a population of
100000 within a days journey,
while there reside within a similar
radius of Potland not more than
100000 souls.
The stock show, which opened on
September 10th for a period of ten
days, proved the crowning feature of
the Fair. 1t was notable success,
being by far the biggest show of the
kind ever held in the west, and by far
the best attended. During the time it
was running the attendance at the fair
showed a daily increase over the aver.
age Of about 5, 900 and the week ending
September "a was the largest in point
of attendance of any during the Fair
period.
In spite of the fact that there were
more people in Portland last week than
at any time since the fair opened, there
has been no complaint on account of
lack of hotel accommodations. This
happy state Of affairs, it is certain,
will continue right up to the close of
the Fair, because there is room in Port
land for a great many more people
than reasonably can be expected
The Lewis and Clark Poultry show,
the dates of which are October 5th to
18th inclusive, promises to be an ex-
hibition Of high quality, and one of
general interest. Western fanciers
have shown themselves to be heartily
in favor of the show, and have en-
tered their choicest birds, while from
the east are a number of entries of
unusual interest.

HEAD SEVERED FROM BODY
CfliId Meets Horrible Death at Bried.
we'll StatiCn-Father Sees
Tragedy.

The McMinnville Telephone-Regis-
ter gives the following detailed account
OF the horrible accident at Briedwell
station, on the Yamhill division last
tuesday morning, by which the two
year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Wlthee was instantly killed:
ut seems that while the family were
yet seated at the dinner table talking.
the little one climbed down and unno-
tlced left the room and wandered out
on the railroad track, which runs a
short distance from the house. Neither
parent noticed its brief absence, their
hrstknowledge being when the engines
whistle sounded, and Mr.. Withee
thinking it was done to alarm stock
on the track, stepped to the window in
time to see the engine strike the child.
Several wheels passed over it's neck.
completely severing the head from the
body and throwing it down an en-
bankment about ten feet from where
the body lay on the track. Mr.. Withee
was one of the first to reach the scene
OF the accident, and carried the re-
mains to the house.
"The child's burial took place
Wednesday afternoon in the Amity
cemetery with services at the grave.
The grief stricken parents have the
sympathy of the entire community"

TELLS WHAT 1T WAS
T. T. 0eer Says His Salary While
Governor Was $4,25O a Year.

SALEM, October Ito the Editor
Your profession of ignorance as tc
what the Governor Of Oregon received
as his annual salary prior to the
passage Of the "flat salary law ap.
pears to be so genuine, as we'll as your
apparent belief that the knowledge is
not to be had except from me, that
will crafty your search for informa.
tion by stating that it was, at least
during my term, $4,25O, though the
present law, demanded by several Re-
publican platforms, allows the Cover
nor the sum Of $4,000. Your character
ization of the present "hat salary law
as unconstitutional is not at all
fattering to either the Republican
party of Oregon or to the special re-
formers who for years so persistently
demanded it,
You will permit me to add that ii
was the invention and circulation OF
the intimation that I drew more
compensation than the law allowed
me, finally merged into positive state
ments, used prior to the campaign of
1902 and continually repeated during
its progress, that kept me from takirg
any part in it, and If, as you are so
free to say, that defeated Mr. Furnish,
then those who invented it are alone
responsible for that result. This
plainly told Mr.. Furnish in the
Governors Office early in the cam
paign-if this sort Of lying should be
abandoned l would gladly help him,
otherwise would not. Mr.. Furnish
has always understood why 1 took no
part in that contest, though he ex-
pressed his regret that such tactics
were resorted to for partisan and
factional gain. plainly told him
that il it was continued would con-
slider my whole duty discharged by
casting my vote for him. 1t was con-
tinued and I kept my word with him.
Do not unnecessarily worry over the
outcome, if 1 ever conclude to carry
this matter to the people OF Oregon,
either as a candidate for official posi-
ton or otherwise.
In conclusion permit me to say that
I threw no boquet to myself in thank
ing the people Of Polk county for the
majority they gave me in the election
of 1902, for it was tangible support
which your assertion that it was the
result Of Democratic vUtes in no wise
affects. The people Of Oregon have
never in the past, nor do they now
endorse the scalping Of an innocent
man, much less do they expect the
victim to take the leading part in the
ceremonies attending the war dance
over his supposed funeral.
But this is all in the past, and sin
cerely desiring that harmony shall
prevail in the Republican party in the
future, and having fully as much to
forgive in the matter as any other
man in the state, and perhaps more,
l am perfectly willing to accept in
good faith Chairman Bakers declara-
tion that 'the future Of the Republican
party will be smooth sailing If the
past is allowed to paddle its own
canoe"

Mr.. Hoff desires to call particular
attention to all men operating machin-
cry to the great volume of accidents
involving loss of life which are Of
daily occurrence. These accidents
are in many cases the result of care
lessness-a little care and caution on
the part of men in charge of machin-
cry may save many lives.-Corvallis
Gazette. Mr.. Hoff came to Dallas,
Thursday, and inspected the sawmills
at this place and Falls City. He says
he finds a great majority of the mill
owners not only willing but anxious
to comply with the law and to cooper
ate with him in removing all sources
of danger. He says the intent of the
state law is to remove all danger,
where the necessary precautionary
measures can be taken without inter-
fering with the work Of mills and
factories.

ORDER QUICKLY RECALLED
Mail Addressed to Number of Rural
Mail Box Will Not Be
Delivered.

Since the publication a few days
ago Of the report that the postal
authorities had ordered the number
ing Of the rural free delivery boxes,
and that mail addressed to those boxes
by number would be delivered, many
of the merchant bodies in the state,
especially those in Portland, have
taken the matter up and are protest
ing against such order, as they look
forward to the flooding Of the country
with catalogues from mail order
houses.
Their fear is premature, however,
for second order has been issued by
the postal department to the effect
that no mail addressed to boxes of
rural patrons of the postofice will be
delivered where it is addressed to the
box number only. The postal depart
ment has always prohibited the giving
of full lists of names of patrons, and
the first order relating to the boxes
appeared to be a complete reversal of
the policy of the department. 1t ap-
pears that after the order was issued,
the ''nigger" in the woodpile was dis
covered and the second order, pro-
hibiting the delivery Of mail by box
number only, was quickly issued. 1t
appears as though some one in the
department might have been interested
in securing the first order, and 1t has
been hinted that the Machen stripe of
operators among the officials in
Washington may not all have been
cleaned out. Albany Herald.

 Il can say nothing" was the reply. MT Loomis said he expected that his secret mission would prevent him from returning with the warship squadron which will bring back the body of Admiral Paul Jones, as he had expected to do, but that he hoped to return in about a month. Mir LOOmis added that the exercises attending the departure of the body of Admiral Jones from France would probably be held on July or 8 in the American church at Paris.
