NOT TOO WICKED TO BE SAVED.

Lawyer aud Alderman John I.
Mccall was employed in case
which necesltated trip to the
West. The trial was held in Il
county seat where the courthouse
was IN the middle of the public
square, aud the town was built
around it. When persons connect
ed with suits were wanted in the
courtroom the sheriff would put
his head ont of the window and
call them three times.
1t was IN the summer time when
Mr. Mccall visited the place. A
branch of the Salvation Army had
raised a tent on one side Of the
square and was holding meetings
morning, afternoon and night.
One morning a minister made an
unusually earnest address, calling
sinners to repentance.
"Name the mani he cried.
"Name the man who is too wicked
to be savedl'
At that moment the sheriff
thrust his head out of the court
house window and shouted: "John
I, Mccall John T. Mccall John
7. Mccall"
The minister was somewhat
startled by this seemingly prompt
reply to his interrogation.
"Who is John T McCall'' he
asked. Il don't care how wicked
he is Even he can be saved y

DIVES MAY CONTINUE.
Mayor Williams Permits of Violations
of POrtland's City Charter.

Backed by the republican machine,
the city council, with the assistance
of Mayor George H. Williams, has de-
feated the resolution of Councilman
A. F. Flegel and H. r. Albee to re-
woke the licenses of 23 combination
houses which are illegally conducted
in the red light district north of
Burnside street, says the Oregon
Daily Journal. A substitute resolution
presented by Councilman Rumelin to
instruct Chief of Police Hunt to en-
force the laws was carried.
When the question came to a vote
the count stood five to five In the
hands of Mayor Williams rested the
fate of the dives and dance halls.
Without any hesitation whatever, he
voted to allow them to run.
The 90 places under consideration
are the worst dives in the city. They
are the trysting places of criminals
and their female consorts, who invei-
gle men into the dens, where they are
drugged, robbed and beaten. They
are allowed to run because from them
the machine gets much of its sup
port, and the council voted to license
vice and crime Of the lowest and most
degraded type in direct violation; of
the city ordinances.

workmen congregate here in the win
ter, as they prefer to make their head
quarters in Portland.
When the lambing season COM
mences in March, many who are now
idle will be able to secure employ
ment in the sheep camps, should
they desire such work. Also, about
that time considerable farming work
win have commenced, and there will
then be little trouble for all to find
work.
With female help the employment
agencies find the situation quite diff
ferent, as there the supply is unequal
to the demand. This is especially true
of housekeeping positions, for which
there seems to be an aversion. How
ever. there is no difficulty in finding
girls to accept positions as Mattresses
and chambermaids.

While James Hackett is not a
member of the legislature, not even
of the third house, he has proposed
law regulating the inspection of
stock, and providing for the duties of
that office, which is worthy of the
earnest consideration of the legisla
ture.
Mr.. Hackett proposes to make the
stock inspectors office one of the de-
partments of the stock counties lust
as the clerks, surveyors or treasurers,
having an office and a set of books,
in which would be kept an actual ac-
count and classification Of every hoof
OF stock in the county, showing the
various classes by age, every year,
the number of each class shipped out,
the number produced, the number
held over each winter and other vital
facts concerning the livestock indus
try in the stock counties.
AS the production of livestock is
one of the leading and vital indus
tries of the state, he believes II
should be treated as such and given
place In the county government, as
ONASA oiShCSs
By keeping an office of this kind
with these statistics and features
available to the public, it would be
an easy matter for any one desiring
authentic information on the subject
to secure 1t, the health of stock would
be insured as an active. efficient man
could be elected by the people, and
paid fair salary. In the hop grow
ing counties there are public hop in
spectors, whose duties are specified
by special codes in the different
states, and in many of the stock
growing states the livestock inspector
maintains an up-to-date office.
Under the present system of live
stock inspection, there is no regu-
larity nor organization, each inspec-
tor being a law unto himself with
the result that stock diseases are
prevalent in the midst of the best
stock districts in the state. and there
are no statistics nor other informa-
ton available, in half the stock coun-
ties.
