WILLAMETTE
WILL PLAY
CALIFORNIA
Football Team of Coming
Season to Meet the
Real Thing"

Manager Mark II. Savage, Of the
Willamette University football team,
has announced that he has scheduled
games with the University of Califor-
MIA and Stamford University. Thus
for the first time in its history the old
schsol will send team to California
to see what they can do with the hith-
erto undisputed champions Of the Pa
cific coast This is counted a great
honor by Oregon and Washington
teams, and Willamette was successful
in getting these dates through the ex-
cellent record made by the team last
year. Stanford will be met September
80, and California one week later. These
dates are very early for an Oregon
team, but they were the best that
could be had, so the management will
try to make the best of it, and will
make a strong effort TO have all the
candidates for positions on the team
here and ready for practice by Sep
tember 10.
That the local university will have
a strong aggregation of players there
can be no doubt, since all but one Of
last years men will be back and in
addition there will be a number Of
new men who have made enviable
records in football in this and other
states.
The schedule of games which has
been arranged so far will be the best
that has ever been played by a Will
lamette team. II will include games
with the University Of Oregon and
the Oregon Agricultural College, to be
played in this city; Multnomah Club
in Portland, and the University of
Washington in Seattle. Efforts are
also being made TO bring the Pullman
team TO Salem for the Thanksgiving
game. The Sherman Indians are also
in prospect, besides number Of prac
tice games.

oaptain ClarkIs HUNTING Knife.

An old.fashioned steel hunting knife,
which is believed TO have once been
owned by Captain w. Clark, whose
historic exploration trip in the north
west territory with Merriwether Lew
is is being celebrated in the Lewis and
Clark exposition in Portland, has been
located at Republic, this state, says
the Seattle Post-IAtelligencer. At pres
ent the knife is in possession of Alfred
Babcoek Of Republic, who found IL on
a prospecting trip between that point
and Nespelem.
The knife is of Sheffield steel, and
plainly engraved on the brass hilt is
the name "Captain Clark. " On the
old-fashioned leather scabbard in
which il was contained is the inserip-
tion, "Hudson Bay Company-ls4l.55
Mr.. Babeock learned that the knife
had formerly been in possession of
Indians, one Of whom was the famous
deceased Chief Joseph. II has been
highly priced by the Indians, and one
is said to have refused an offer Of
80 ponies for IT,
There are three hicks cut in the hilt,
which, the Indians explain, means that
it has been used in removing three
white peoples sealps.

Mr.. Rrotel first came into the case
when he was assigned to prosecute
Charles II. Ahle, who was arrested on
complaint of Edwin NJ. Post, who
charged that Able attempted to black,

He alleges that Able told him that a
scandalous story involving his name
was in possession of a New York
weekly paper, but that 1t would not
be published il Post would subscribe
for tho book. The money was paid to
Ahle in the presence of detectives
and his arrest followed. His case is
now awaiting the action Of tho grand
jury, and Mr.. Krotel has announced
that several persons prominent in So

conditional, however, on the district

shall be asked them concerning stories
which they allege Able mentioned

Ethics IN High FINANCE.

The investigations and exposures Of
the last few years have enabled the
public 20 take a measure Of the eth
les of high finance. In 1896 IL was
assumed by the "sound money" ad-
vocates that a great fnancier was the
very embodiment Of patriotism, honor
and business integrity, but this idol
has been widely shattered. First came
the shipbuilding trust investigation.
That showed that a number of money
magnates formed a conspiracy to de-
ceive the public and that few Of the
eonspirators formed an inner circle con-
spiracy 70 take advantage of the rest
Of the eonspirators. Then came the
Munroe & Munroe investigation. That
showed that the second vice president
Of the largest bank in the United
States was in a syndicate formed to
fleece the public through "wash
sales" Then Lawson came forward
with his story duplicating the presi-
dent Of the largest bank and leading
spirit of the Standard Oil trust in a
gigantic fraud. Following this the
Equitable squabble brings to light a
riot of criminal misuse Of trust funds
which has startled the country. And
during this period Of investigation Miss
Tarbell has given us a history Of the
lawlessness of the oil trust, Mr.. Rus
sell has shown up the methods Of the
beef trust, and the interstate commerce
commission has revealed the rebate
practices Of the railroads, Here we
have bankers, railroad magnates, pro
moters, manufacturers and spectators
all vieing with each other in the use
of methods which offend against both
statute and moral law. What shall
we say of the business ethics Of these
men who are actually engaged in ex'
ploitation or who lend their names to
exploiters and draw salaries for doing
nothingi When one is condemned his
defense is that "others do the same" "
"A defense offered by the president
for not Furnishing one Of his cabinet.

inspect some Of the entries having to
do with the book "Fads and Fancies. "
He learned, however, he said, that
while the regular subscription price
for the book was $500, several per-
sons paid larger sums. Among those
was Mrs. Coils p. Huntington, widow
of the multimillonaire railroad pro-
moter, who was credited with paying
$40, 900 for her subscription for a copy
of the book. Mr.. Krotel said today
that if it is possible TO reach Mrs.
Huntington she will be asked to tes-
tify as to the condition under which
she paid more money than the regular
subscription price.

DEATH
ON THE
SALMON
Golden Drift Dam Proves too
Much for the Big Fellows
Thousands Die !

A dispatch to the Oregonian from
Grants Pass under date Of July 10,
says:
That there 3 something radically wrong
with the fish ladder constructed at
the power dam Of the Golden Drift
Mining Company, in accordance with
plans and orders from the State Fish
Warden, is the contention Of both the
Golden Drift management and the peo'
ile Of this city. Hundreds Of salmon
fail to make the ascent and as many
die in the attempt.
As result, the Rogue river is
strewn with dead fish. Their decay
ing bodies polute the water that sew
eral thousand people are obliged to
drink, as the water supply for this
city comes from the Rogue. Standing
on Rogue river bridge, this city, at
any time of day, scores Of dead sal
mon can be seen 20 float by. All
along the shores the dead fish are
strewn, the stencil from them being
at places almost unbearable. The
arrival of summers heat makes condi-
tions far worse and increases the dan
ger of fever and disease as a result
Of the polluted water.
Manager Ament, Of the Golden
Drift Company, is held blameless, al
he says he has complied to the letter
in the construction Of fshway for
salmon. The ladder originally con
structed was not considered large
enough by State Fish Warde Van
Dusen, and larger one was built
This last Hshway is larger than the gov
ernment demanded, but IL is so con
structed that the salmon might have
every possible opportunity Of ascend
ing the falls Of the 20-foot dam. Many
salmon climb IL, but many others

Doctor Of Surgery.

One Of the prominent physicians in
attendance upon the meeting Of the
National Medical Association at Port
land brought out the following in his
address; ''Asked TO define the differ
ence between medical man and a sur
geon, one of our lady friends saids "A
physician is one that comes to SEQ yOu,
feels your pulse with his gentle, tom
dollar fingers, shakes the dice TO find
out what is the matter, then, pockoting
his fee, leaves you in as great uncer-
tainty as before his visit, and as he
doubtless is himself while the surgeon
is one that comes, puts his hundred-dof-
lar knife into your inwards, takes out
everything that he thinks he has us0
for, and then shakes the dice 20 ascer-
tain il recovery will follow, and not
infrequently comes back to search for
various tools left in your anatomy
things that he needs and you do not.
That the profession will accept this
definition is hardly TO be expected, nor
are they likely to agree with the opin-
ion as to qualifcation.-The Dalloa

nothing surpasses the conscienceless
transactions Of those who were in
charge of the Equitable. Scarcely a
day passes but some new form of EN-.
bezzlement is announced. One day we
learn that coterie Of directors made
thousands Of dollars by selling bonds
to the company sold to themselves.
This was in violation of the law, and
they are now returning the money. The
next day we learn Of pensions and sal
aries that represented no service. Then
we find that the officials raised their
own salaries to enormous figures and
taxed their personal expenses to the
company What is this but larceny3
And now Mr.. Morton announces re.
form, and what is it1 That directors
will no longer be paid $25 per day
when they do not attend. II seems
that the dummy directors who did
nothing when present but approve Of
reports which they did not examine,
were drawing $25 day whether pres.
ent or not What shall we say of a
lot of eminent business men who thus
enriched themselves out of trust funds
supposed to be held sacred for widows
and children.

are engaged in more honorable bust
ness, for they cheat. those who are
foolish enough to risk their money on
n game known TO be dishonest, but
these thimbleriggers of high finance
rob the helpless and the dependents
under the guise Of doing an honest bus
mess. The directors who knew what
was going on shared in the crimes
committed against policy holders-the
directors who did not know what was
going on were scarcely less criminal
because they were sleeping sentinels
whose watchful eyes would have saved
the policy holders.

A Notable Number.

Month after month for six years the
Pacific Monthly has been forging
steadily forward. SO excellent have
been some of the issues that only the
most superlative adjeetives could do
justice to the excellence Of the press
work and the high character of the
magazine. 1t is only fair to say, how
ever, that in the July number the
magazine has reached a plane which
might well be envied by any twenty
five or thirty-fve-eent magazine in the
country. 1t is one Of the wonders OF
modern progress that such an excellent
magazine as regards color work, high
Grade Illustrations and the general
character of the reading matter can
be gotten up and sold for l0c. As a
matter of fact, the paper alone in
this splendid July number is worth
from fifteen 70 twenty cents in each
copy of the magazine. The paper used
for a large part of this number Is
probably the heaviest which has yet
appeared in any ten-eent magazine,
and its quality is the finest. From ev-
ery standpoint, the publishers have
far surpassed all their previous at
tempts and have placed the magazine
where it is not only credit TO the
coast and the entire west, but viii not
suffer by comparison with any maga-
zine published anywhere.
