not in to callers Further inquiry brought
the lady In charge of the house to the re-
ception hail. She stated that the affair
mad gone far enough and that more pub
licity had been given to the matter than
should have been. She was asked as to
Miss Bakers health, and the reply was
that the young lady had been indisposed
since Friday evening.
1T was not right in any way TO inter
rupt the relations of the young man and
woman, for they were thoroughly in love
with one another" she said land the sight
Of tearing him from her last Friday eveL-
ing was distressing in every particular.
The boy has been at West Point for some
time, and on account of his yearning for
Miss Baker he resigned at the academy
and came to this city, so that he could be
near her. We here at the house under
stood that he was attending a military
school in this city, and that he was lieu
tenant in the army of his country. When
ne first met Miss Baker 1t was q case OF
love at first sight. and their betrothal has
been known by all In the house for some
time. Since the young man was taken
from this house by Mercury and the detec-
tives Miss Baker has hardly come from her
room, and she had absolutely seen no one
at any time in regard to the affair" BY
TINS time anOtnef woman who had been
standing in the back part of the hall came
to the front part with the exclamation that
''the best thing to do was not to say a
word in regard to the affair."" but that In
her estimation she thought that 1.-THE way
the young man had been done was not
right, and that sooner or later things would
have different ending
DR.. Bakers Views.
The reporter then hunted up DR.. w. w.
Baker. the father of the young lady. who
resides on North Capitol street. He said
that up to short time ago he had heard
nothing about the love affair of his daugh-
ter and the son of the Nicaraguan presi-
dent. He said that he regretted very much
to hear, on Friday evening, of the manner
in which the young man had been taken
from the K street residence where his
daughter boarded, but that he regretted
more so the newspaper notice of the affair
He seemed particularly solicitous as far
as the minister of Nicaragua was con-
cerned and said.

Immediately, as l believe that Minister
Corea should not be drawn into the affair
more than he had. I do not know what
the objections were on the part OF the
young mans parents or guardian but
suppose that they were on account of his

does not appear 10 be more than sixteen
years old, she is nearly twenty"

POINTER FOR MANUFACTURERS

Answering an editorial inquiry of
the New York Herald, A. Segrara of
Segrara e. Co., exporters, explains why
South Americans do not take our
manufactures in exchange for their
tropical products.
There are two reasons: % The
American manufacturers DO not make
the class of goods demanded by South
America. (2) They will not allow the
buyer more than the usual 80 days
credit
on the other hand the English and
German manufacturers nurse the
South American trade by supplying
goods in the sizes, colors and makes
to which the South American is ac-
customed, and by giving the importer
long credit, from three to six months.
Mr.. Segrara adds that a steamship
subsidy would help somewhat, and
reciprocity would help more, but that
neither device would build up our
South American trade. until the
American manufacturer lets up a lit
tie on that independence of his which
impels him to go on manufacturing to
suit himself instead of to suit his for
eign customer.

THE TRUTH ABOUT SCOTT, THE
DEATH VALLEY CRoESUS.

That eccentric individual Walter
Scott, whom the newspapers have
called the Croesus of Death Valley"
is well known here and is generally
believed to be spectacular fraud,
says William Il. Curtis in the Mem
phis News -Scimitar
He has been in and about Los An
geles for Il dozen years or more and
has been engaged in various occu-
pations at different points in the
southwest, He once worked in the
Kansas City stock yards. He was
employed for year or more as a la
borer on the Santa Fe. Prescott X
Phoenix Railroads; has picked up Il
living at times by breaking ugly and
vicious horses, has been Cow
puncher" on various ranches, and
went to Europe as a member of the
cowboy gang in Buffalo Bill's show.
Between times he has spent many
months around Los Angeles, and Mrs,
Scott who is very decent littl wo-
man and is accredited with having
much more sense than her husband,
was once what they call hash
singer in Los Angeles restaurant.
She was earning her living as a wait
ress in one of the desert hotels when
she married "Scotty" They have
had occasional controversies. and at
times he has treated her badly, but
she is said to be loyal, patient and
forgiving wife.
Julian NJ Gerard, vice-president of
the Knickerbocker trust company of
New York, once spent a summer for
his health on ranch where "Scotty'
was "cow punching" and took a fan
CIV to him. They renewed their ac-
quaintance when "Scotty" was in
New York with Buffalo Bills show.
At that time the latter revealed to
Gerard, the secret of mysterious
gold mine in Death Valley, which he
had discovered with the aid of a Nav
ajo Indian. "Scotty" has told so
many different stories about the dis
covery and his experiences in the des-
ert that he is confused in his own
mind.
one of his yarns is that he made
the discovery when engaged with a
government surveying party several
years ago. He has told other people
/ that he found the vein while crossing
! the desert with a friend on a pros
pecting tour. 1t makes no difference
however, what he says. His memory
is so defective that he never tells the
same story twice.

Which IS the more culpable, the
public official who takes graft from
a professional graft -giyer, or the pro-
fessionaI graft-glver which infests all
phases of public service? This is a
delicate question and the dividing
line between the degrees of culpability
is narrow. The large corporations
maintain paid graft-givers in every
seat of government, always ready to
pay public officials for inside lnfor-
nation. These graft givers are artists,
and are the highest salaried men to be
found anywhere Their wiles are so
versatile and various that few public
officials are able to escape them.
The pay of public officials is not in
keeping with the station they occupy
and so the temptation to take unclean
money is increased In this way. The
pay OF public officials should be rails
ed, the penalty of graft-tahng and

While the present power and light

the business are largely sent out of the

The largest peaches seen at the

William Forsythe and f. d. Walker,
of Milton. And yet this industry is
not developed in this county as it
should be. With PROPER cultivation,
proper war ON pests and proper mar
keting Umatina county should become
the most noted peach producing coun-
try in the United States. The climate,
seasons and soil are all favorable and
the older peach producing countries
are being converted TO other indus
tries. making the promise ahead of the
new west exceptionally bright There
is no reason why Echo, Foster, Her

There are two practical much
needed Industries which are within
reach of Pendleton and which can be
established by Pendleton capital, If
such capital is so disposed. These
are cereal food mill to be attached
to one of the large FIGURING mills Of
this city and a meat packing plant to
consume a portion of the fat cattle
grown in this county, and to encour-
age the raising of hogs in the wheat
belt. Wheat for cereal mills in Chi
cago is purchased every year in this
county at an advance of three to five
cents per bushel over the regular
prices and the buyers are glad to get
it at that price. 1t would seem that
the Pendleton mills with their facili-
ties and established regulations could
add this branch with little cost and
secure excellent results. Umatilla
county wheat is shipped twice across
the continent, before it comes to Pen
dleton tables in the form of cereal
foods. and why not a portion of this
enormous expense saved to the millers
and consumers of this county? Here
are subjects for years work for the

That newspapers should be always
ready to stand by thei principles, all
though the experience may be un-
pleasant at times, is proved by the re-
cent fight made by the Spokesman
Review against the assessment of its
property. The Spokane paper has al
ways been a bitter enemy of the tax
dodger and has made record as a
friend of honest tax-paying, and its
objection to its own fair assessment
has caused much comment in the
state The following from the Yakima
Republic is a sample of the comments
on its action: ''The Spokesman-Re-
view of Spokane is making n great
outcry because the assessor has listed
its good will and news franchise at
something like $4,000 for purposes of
taxation. We think this action on the
part of the assessor is unwarranted
but it seems rather strange that the
Review should object. 1t has in the
past made many spirited remarks
about tax-dodging railroads which pay
much more in proportion to the ac-
tual value Of the property assessed
than it has been paying. Believing
as we do every word we see in the
Review, and taking for granted as we
do that its utterances are always
prompted by the purest and most un.
selfish motives, we have always sup.
posed that paying taxes was one of its
nboicpet plpaeurps "
