Then the young woman remarked
that she wished he would go before
the train started, as it always made
her nervous to see any one swing off

"Thank you so much for all your

.CUTS OFF OFFICERS FEES PROTECTS THE MERCHANT
The Referendum Law Works
Hardship on Sheriffs.

The operations of the referendum
law arc not too satisfactory to some
of the Jospehine county officers ut the
present time. Since the appropria
tions bill was held up by the referen.
dun recently 6led at Salem, the
sheriffs and other officers who convey
criminals or insane persons to Salem
are Obliged to defray the expenses of
the trip with their own funds. All
they can secure in the way of re.im-
bursement from the state is a sort of
certificate or due bill which bears no
interest and which. if the holder must
absolutely raise money on 1t, may
possibly be cashed by some banker or
speculator at discouont of 10 per
cent. In the meantime funds of the
state, destined for this purpose, are
lying idle. This condition OF things
will continue until the next regular
election in June, 1906. Then if the
obstructing movement is upheld in
the election there will be no relief
until the next legislative session, OF
course it is not on account of expenses
Of this character that the referendum
is invoked but the appropriations bill
contains many items and the referen-
dun petitioners in order to get at
their object were obliged to put the
whole bill to sleep. The people will
have before election good long time
to consider the matter In all it's
phases AMI meanwhile the conveyance
to Salem of criminal or insane
charges will be an employment not
eagerly sought.

W. A, CLARK, JR,
VISITS GRANTS PASS
Is Favorably Impressed With the
Opportunities Here for
Investment.

W. A. Clark, Jr., of Butte, Mon
tsna, was in Grants Pass to look aftel
some property interests in this county
that belongs to the estate of his lat,
uncle, j. X. Clark. Mr.. Clark is Q
son Of Senator W. A. Clark, of Mon
tana, reputed to be the wealthiesi
mine owner in the world and he il
also one of the big railroad men Of
the United States. In the line of hi.
railroad ventures, Senator Clark i.
now building railroad from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles, distance ol
400 miles, and is doing it with.
out selling bonds, but all the
money required is derived from the
profits of his Montana and Arizona
copper mines. Young Mr.. Clark
while in Grants Pass showed much
interest in the mineral resources OF
this section and he utilized all his
spare time in gaining information
that may be Of use to him later on.
Mr.. Clark was shown through the
minerals exhibit room of the Grants
Pass Miners Association by 7. +.
Hopkins, manager of the Golden
Eagle Mining Company, and who for.
merly resided in Butte and was well
acquainted with him. Mr.. Clark
gave careful examination of all the
ores and was much interested in the
showing made Of the many minerals
found in this district and Of the
character of the ores on display. He
expressed the opinion that the exhibit
was really credit to the town and
tine district and would no doubt dc
much toward advertising the mineral
wealth of Southern Oregon and of at.
tracing mining aud other investors
to this section. Mr.. Clark is a
bright, energetic young man of about t
30 and is in no wise given to egotism
by reason of the millions at his com
mand, and stranger would take him
to be ore of the many young men of
the West who are alert and ever ready
to make the most of any business
venture that may come their way
Mr.. Clark will probably again visit
Southern Oregon this summer when
he will spend a couple of weeks en-
joying the fine hunting and fishing
that is to be had in this section. In
oidently Mr.. Clark will doubtless
look up the mines as we'll as the game
of the district about Grants Pass.

Law Regarding Exemption of
Wages Changed.

Oregon merchs nts will have good
remedy against many of their bad
debtors after May lS, when the act OF
the last Legislature regarding the
exemption of wages from execution
will go into effect. This act amends
the law by making one.half the earn.
ings of the debtor subject to execution
proceedings If the debt b. for family
expenses.
Prior to 1908 all the earnings Of
debtor for 30 days next preceding the
service of an attachment, execution
or garnishment were exempt IL the
earnings were needed for the support
of family. Under that law men
with considerable monthly incomes
would escape the payment Of their
dobts. The Legislature of 1908 amend
ed the law by limiting the amount
of earnings exempt TO $40. but leaving
the law otherwise the same. As
there are comparatively few men
working Tor wages who receive over
$40 month, this law still enabled
men to avoid debts which they should
be compelled to pay, and the Legis
laturo of 1905 amended the section still
further by adding this clause: "Ex-
cept when the debt Is incurred for
family expenses furnished within six
months OF the date OF the service of
such attachment, execution or garnish.
mont 90 per cent Of such earnings shall
be subject to such attachment, exc.
oution or garnishment. a"
AS construed by the courts, the
term family expenses" includes each
item as provisions, fuel rent. furni.
