thing, and dad just was so flustered that
he couldn't say much, until the king
said something about the war between
the States, in which the southern states
achieved a victory. l don't know
whether the king said that just to wake
dad up, cause dad had a grand army but

a time, like bunch of firecrackers, and
finally he went off all in a bunch. Dad
said: "Look a here, Mr.. King, some
one has got you all balled up about that
war. 1 know, because I was in 1t, and
now the north and the south are United,
and can whip any country that wants to
fight a champion, and will go out and
get reputation, by gosh!"
The king laughed at touching dad off,
and asked dad what was the matter of
America and Great Britain getting to-
gether and making all nations know
when they had better keep their places,
and quit talking about fighting. Dad
said he never would consent to America
and GreatBritain getting together to fight
any country until Ireland got justice and
was ready to come into camp on an
equality, and the king said he would an

would pledge the 1rishmen of America,

in America as he had in Ireland, and dad
said if the king would give Ireland what
she asked for, he would see that the
Irishmen in America would sing God

London, H'england.-Dear Uncle Ezra:
The worst is over, and dad and I have
both touched king. Not the way you
think, touching king for hand-out, or
borrowing his loose change, the way you
used to touch dad when you had to pay
for your goods, but just taking hold of
his hand, and shaking it in good old
United States fashion.
The American minister arranged 1t for
us. He told somebody that Peck's Bad
Boy and his dad were in town, and just
wanted to size up king, and see how he
averaged up with United States politi-
clans, and the king set an hour for us
to call.
Well, you'd dide to see dad fix up.
Everybody said, when we showed our
card at the hotel, notifying us that we
were expected at Marlboro House at such
time, that we would be expected to put
on plenty of dog. That is what an
American from Kalamazoo, who sells
breakfast food, said, and the hotel peo-
pie said we would be obliged to wear
knee breaches, and dancing pumps, and
silk socks, and all that kind of rot, and
mems furnishers began to call upon us
to take our measure for clothes, but
when they told us how much it would
cost, dad kicked. He said he had a golf
suit he had made in Oshkosh at the time
of the tournament, that everyone in
Oshkosh said was out of sight, and was
good enough for any king, and so he
rugged up in it. and hired suit at a
masquerade place, and dad hired coat,
kind of red, to so with his golf pants, and
Jocks, and he wore canvas tennis shoes.
looked like picture out of fourteenth
century book, but dad looked like a
clown in a circus. One of dads calves
made him look as though he had milk
leg, cause the padding would not stay
around where the calf ought to be, but
worked around towards his shin. We
went to Marlboro House in a hanson cab,
and all the way there the driver kept
looking down from the hurricane deck,
through the scuttle hole, to see if We
were there yet. and he must have talked

TRUTHS BY GOVERNOR FOLK

Good citizens make good laws, but
no law can make good citizens.
The government never neglects the
people unless the people first neglect
the government.
No government, city, state or ma
tional, was ever better than the peo-
pie made it, or worse than they suf-
fered it to become.
Plenty of men will die for their
country, but the man who will live
for his city and state every day is the
man the government needs.

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought un-
der the jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the state
ment that lines are paid mileage, with
out discrimination, and the question Of
excessive charges is matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, so
long as there is no law to govern their
rates. Car mileage paying has been de-
cided to be as legal as the payment Of
rental for property.

INSURANCE INQUIRY RESUMED.
More Sensations Are Confidently
Looked for

New York, Nov. S.-After recess
of two weeks the legislative investigat-
ing committee resumed its inquiry into
the affairs of the big insurance COM
panies today. Judging from rumor
the developments at hand may be
even more sensational in character
than the facts unearthed by the COM
mittee at its previous hearings.
1t is stated that Charles f. Murphy,
leader of Tammany hall, and Patrick
McCarren, democratic leader in
Brooklyn, will be called TO testify.
The purpose Of summoning them is to
discover whether they know anything
about the affairs of the New York
Dock company, which owns extensive
wharf and warehouse property in
Brooklyn. The Mutual Life Insurance
company owns about 3,S50.000 of its
securities. 1t is said that an attempt
to sell this property to the city of New
York was made some time ago, and
that Messrs. Murphy and McCarren
will be questioned on that point.
Former Governor Odell is another
notable who will probably be called
to the stand at an early date. When
the affairs of the Mutual have been
thoroughly probed the Prudential In
surance company will be put on the
gridiron. In this connection United
States Senator Dryden of New Jersey
who is president of the Prudential
will be summoned to testify.

commissioners have aspirations which
might be more difficult OF achieve
ment II any large sum OF money was
expended in a sparsely populated
community.
We think that we are entitled to
some consideration here, for this is
the first request for any public assist
ance for many years, and notwith-
standing the adverse action OF the
county board at the present time,
every effort possible will be put forth
to get the aid desired.
The state of lethargy that has pre-
vailed here for so long is gradually
being overcome and new life and
thought are working for the better
ment and permanency OF Il new era.
More improvements have been made
here the past year than in the preced-
ing dcade.
The little towns of Irrigon on our
west. and Hermiston ON the east, are
hustling and with wonderful success,
and the energetic demonstrations
across the Columbia-these are max
ing progress against Umatilla-even
though she has the oldest name, the
best location and the greatest trans
portation facilities.

METHODIST MISSION.
Finances of the Work Prospered Dur
ing the Past Year.

New York, Nov. s.-one of the
most important committees of the
Methodist General Conference, the
missionary committee, began its an
nual meeting In james church in
Brooklyn, today. To this committee
is assigned the direction of Methodist
mission effort between the quadren-

fields. The various reports showed
that Methodist mission finances are
in healthy condition. the receipts for
the first six months of the present
year having been 100000 in advance
of the corresponding period of last
year. The total figures for the year
will not be known until after the
meetings of the fall conference, but 1t
is believed that the income will
amount to more than $1,S00,000.

COALFORTHEW WORLD.
ALASKA TERRITORY 10 BE
THE SOURCE OF SUPPLY.
Enough Oil and Coal in the North 20
Furnish the World, IL Is Alleged
Line OF Steamers From Portland to
Alaskan Ports Should BE Put in
Commission.

1.-THE future oil supply Of the world
is destined to be found in Alaska"
said George A. Moomaw, special agent
of the Alaska Petroleum & Coal COM
pany, who recently has arrived from
Seattle, where he met officials OF the
company just returned from Alaska,
says the oregon Daily Journal.
Government reports and private
investigations show that the Alaska
country has unlimited quantities." he
said. "And a remarkable feature of
Alaska coal is that It burns without
smoke and leaves absolutely no Gin
ders."
The Alaska Petroleum & Coal COM
pany owns six miles of waterfront in
Alaska. 1t is located in the famous
Kayak district. On the company's
property Is located the townsite of
Catalla, which is today a thriving viii
lage of between 800 and 400 inhabi-
tants. Two years ago there was a
log hut on the site. The United States
commissioners office and the office
OF the government recorder are locat-
ed at present at Catalla. The prop
erty is situated on n harbor that, be-
cause of the Japanese current is never
closed and the climate is about the
same as at Portland.
"If Portland men take up the mat
ter properly, there must be a line of
steamers running from this port to
Alaska" said Mr.. Moomaw. There
is at present plenty of trade. The
Seattle line of steamers Is taxed al
ways. and If the people of this city
would go after 1t In the right way
Portland certainly might get good
share of the Alaska business"
A cousin OF the Japanese admiral,
Togo, visited the coal fields of Alas
ka recently for the purpose of inves-
tigating them officially for his gov
eminent He declared that the coal
was superior in all respects to any
that could be procured elsewhere on
the Pacific. He also stated that II
was identical with the coal produced
at the mines at Cardiff, Wales, which
was used by the Japs in wiplng out
the Russian fleet. .
Investigations have been made of
the coal fields by Professor Crosby,
of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology. He insists that the fu-
ture coal supply of the world must be
found in Alaska and declares that the
quality is superior to that of any coal
except that produced in the mines OF
West Virginia.
Portland is so deeply interested in
Alaska and everything that pertains
to that section" said Mr. Moomaw
that 1 believe It is only matter OF
time when a regular steamship traf-
fic will be maintained between this
port and that country"
