IS MAN NOW.
Six Months ago was boy Of Twelve
Years No Similar Case Known
In Medical Annals.

Across the river in Linn county
from Corvallis resides boy OF II
years that is double the size ana
twice as heavy as he was six months
ago. In that brief period OF time
he has undergone the transition
from boyhood to manhood. HIS
growth has been so abnormal that
the physicians of Oregon have been
unable to account for it. They
have studied the case from every
standpoint, but are unable to ac-
count for the remarkable phenomen-
on connected with it. They find
nowhere in the textbooks record
of a similar case. The boy was
brought home the other day from
Portland where some of the most
eminent physicians of the state had
him for some time under exam1n-
alton, and he is now at the farm
home across the Willamette.
The boy is Walter Miller, the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Miller.
It was about six months ago that
he began a sudden growth, to
which little or no attention was
paid in the beginning. The devel-
opment, however, went on apace,
and at length attracted both in
terest and concern. To grow SC
much that in six months boy, is
twice as large, involved changes
that finally became alarming. Signs
of beard began to appear on the
) face of the swift growing lad. His
limbs and body took on size tha
was astonishing. The boy that hae
been child of ordinary stature ane
proportions at II was full grown
man weighing 100 pounds, ane
standing five feet six or seven inch
, es at r. years and six months. Al
unfortunate feature Of the case i
that with the growth came a trouble
that makes it impossible for th
lad to stand on his feet. At frs
: it became difficult for him to wall
around. and by and by, even thi'
could not be done. Then it became
! impossible for him to walk with
out assistance. Now when he trie:
| to stand alone, he quickly fall:
! backward. The medical men at
7 tribute this phenomenon to a pro
bable affection of the brain. They
have as yet, no explanation for tht
extraordinary growth.

THREE FINED.
For Violating Game Laws-Game
Wardens Pulled Them-Had
Three Birds.

Three Corvallis men pleaded
guilty and paid fines of SIS each in
Justice Holgate's court Saturday
morning, for violating the game
law. They were George Brown,
John Kiger and Fred Hencye. AS
they entered town from a hunt late
Friday evening, they were stopped
by couple of game wardens, and
search revealed three China
pheasants in their possession. They
were allowed to go under the prom
ise that they would appear for trial
the following morning at nine
o'clock.
All three men are members of
the Corvallis Social and Athletic
club. The club in its articles of
incorporation makes pretense that
one of its purposes is the protection
of game. In fact, a reward of $40
has been offered by the club for the
arrest and conviction of persons
found guilty of violating the game
laws.
The incident illustrates fully the
sham pretensions set up by Mike
Kline when he instituted his So
called club. His proposed pro-
lection of game is on a par with his
interest in the ''moral welfare'' of
the members. His purpose was to
run a saloon for the sale of liquor,
and that is what his club is, moth
ing more, nothing less-a saloon,
sailing under the guise of moral
welfare" protection of game" and
other fake claims.

New-York tribune., 1905-12-30

Discussing the fiscal question, Mr.. Balfour SAID
the Unionists had done nothing, because they
wanted the mandate of the electorate before
beginning a change of the policy which had
been supported by the sanction Of fifty years.
He half-heartedly defended the Education DILL
which will be of the most powerful weapons
of the Liberals, saying it did not in any sense
reach his IDEAL but it was the best that could
be done.
Sir Henry Campbel-Bannerman devoted al
most his entire speech to an attack on the fiscal
propositions of the Unionists, and said 1t was
the duty of the Liberals to bury any party sup
porting Joseph Chamberlain
Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary
speaking to his constituents at Belford, North
umberland, to-day, said that the carrying out Of
Mr. Chamberlain's policy would mean the ruin
of the national prosperity. He assured his au-
dience that the Liberals had no intention OF
granting home rule, but that they hoped to DO
much for Ireland. With regard to Chinese labor
he said that the stoppage of the importation OF
Chinese would be followed by the establishment
of responsible government in the Transvaal
which would put this colony on an equal footing
with other South African colonies.

Washington, Dec 29.-The supervising inspec-
tor general of the Steamboat Inspection Service
has submitted to the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor report made by Captain Harris. super
vising inspector for the Second District of New
York including New-YOrk City, which contains
some interesting information on the steamboat
service in that port Captain Harris, in making
his report on the reinspectiOn of vessels In his
district, ordered after the Slocum disaster, says
in part:
In the first eleven months of 1903 there were,
in the three districts of NewYork, Philadelphia
and Boston 1877 casualties reported, of which 81
were investigated resulting in the licenses of %
officers being suspended or revoked. In the
same months of 1904, the number of casualties
had increased TO 256 of which only 26 were IN
vestigated and only Is licenses suspended or re-
volzed. In the same months OF 190o the NUMBER
of casualties reduced to 1875, but the NUMBER
of Investigations was increased to 70 and the
licenses of 81 officers were suspended or re
voked. The loss of life has been correspond
The number of appeals to the supervising in
sDector in the first ten months in 1904 and 20
in those of 1905, shows that the Increased sever
ity has been felt.
for the Improvement in the excursion business.
Except in requiring excursion steamers 10 pul
their electric light systems IN safe condiIloh, ne
has simply seen that the recoInmehuaIlonS "
the federal commission have been put In erect
The result must be very gratifying TO the mem
bers of the federal commission Nine large eA-
c1Irsion steamers of New-York remained at their
docks in the last season Public commence, SO
greatly shaken by the Slocum disaster, has peen
Ia rgeIy restored: the business has been prontaoe
$50 am told, and not single life was reported
lost in the excursion business this year Consid-
ering the tremendous NUMBERS carried thiS ID
certainly noteworthy.
To this work of reform there has been almost
no opposition. The only complaint owners nave
made is that the rules are more severely en-
forced in one district than in others Almost
all owners individually have supported every ef-
fort we have made to safeguard life afioat
The supervising inspector, as authorized by
the Secretary of the Department of Commerce
and Labor has held conferences with the col
Iectors of customs of all the leading ports of the
I'd District and arranged for cooperation with
the steamboat inspectors. Whenever the steam
boat inspectors notify a collector that a vessel
has been navigated expired certificate
they also notify him of the result of the invesu-
CATION of tbe licensed officers of the vessel for
having navigated her under those conditions
The collectors notify the inspectors of the fines
which they impose upon vessels, and so far
there is complete harmony in the I'd District be-
tween the two services.

Opposing Leaders Attack Fiscal he

former Premier, respective leaders of the two
great parties drawn up in battle array in
the United Kingdom. addressed large audiences
tonight The Premier spoke at Dunfermlne,
Scotland, making fiscal reform his battecry
Answering a question, he said he did not favor
a separate independent Legislature for Ireland
but ntimated that that country should have
legislature subordinate to the imperial Parlia-
ment.
Mr.. Balfour, talking to a sympathetic audlence
at Queens Hall. London, asked: will you have
fiscal reform or home rule. for this is the true
issue of the campaign"
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman said that the
Liberals would fight protection and fiscal reform
during the campaign they did while in oppo-
sition, while the former Premier said that fiscal
reform would be the first great question with
which the Unionist party would have to deal
whenever it was returned to power, because 1t
was a question in which the welfare of the
country was bound up.
Mr. Balfour plainly indicated that the whole
attack of Unionists throughout the present cam
