western sheep For New England.
It appears from the Statements of
New England Homestead that Merino
ewes from the far west are IN demand
In the eastern region. One shipment Of
AGO ewes Is instance1, and a stock
company had some time ago already
orders for over 5000 sheep. Most Of
the farmers that took sheep last year
have ordered more. Most OF the fiocks
or range ewes that were shipped last
year passed the winter in good condi'
ton. A few farmers have been unfor'
tunate owing to various causes, but
prospects for the general increase OF
sheep raising In the New England hill
towns are very bright.

FOOD CAUSED DEATH.

Miss Clara Rockers. 90 years old
and a prominent society belle, died
last night from the effects Of ptomaine
poisoning. says a Richmond, Va. dis
patch. The autopsy today shows that
death was the result OF a combination
of spinach and strawberry shortcake,
which resulted in chemical changes
that produced poisoning.
Physicians worked for hours in ef-
forts to save the young lady. but their
labors were fruitless and she expired
in great agony. She had partaken
freely Of spinach at the noon meal
and at supper she dined chiefly on
shortcake with rich cream. An hour
later she was I'm spasms.
An examination Of the remnants OF
both foods showed that neither con-
tanned poison, but the death was due
to the combination. Physicians say
that the same effect would be pro-
duced by eating freely OF bananas and
then drinking whiskey. the combina-
ton which killed Patrick Gilmore. the
great bandmaster.

DIR. wITHYCOMBE's MISTAKE.

DR.. James Withyconov, republican
candidate for governor of Oregon, has
made one serious mistake in his
campaign which his friends deeply
regret. and which will be a strong
factor against him throughout the
state. That is. that he has continued
to hold his position as director of ex-
periments with the state agricultural
college while making a political cam
paign.
In any public office this would not
be Objectionable. Candidates for Of
flee may hold public office while
making a campaign for reelection.
but to continue in an educational po-
slton which should be sacredly above
partisan politics, is not right.
The state pays DR.. withycombe's
expenses while holding farmers in
stitutes and he has travelled over every
portion Of the state for the purpose of
holding Institutes while conducting
his campaign for governor. The East
Oregonian does not say that he has
used these trips as campaigning op-
portunities. II has too much respect
for him to believe 1t. But the fact re-
mains that he has been a candidate
for the high office Of governor and
has drawn pay from the state in ar
official capacity during all his cam
paign.
He should have resigned his educa'
[ tional office at the very outset of hi!
political campaign. This would have
| left him entirely above and beyond
7 censure. As It is, his reports as di
rector Of farmers Institutes show tina
the state has paid his expenses
amounting TO over 5000 in the pas
four or five months, while he wa!
working in the interest Of his cam
paign. The state has also allowet
a bill for z. T. Judd. one Of his cam
paign managers, amounting to S14s
for services rendered in assisting witt

CANDIDATES FOR SHERIFF.

can prevent the nomination of a third
candidate for sheriff by simply saying
that they will enforce the law if
elected
They cannot afford to say less than
this.
Unless one or both Of the present
candidates make some such state
ment, it is probable that a third can
didate pledged to law enforcement,
will be nominated. Which Of the
present candidates such nomination
will draw most votes from it is impos-
sible TO say. II both were pledged to
law enforcement. it would leave their
chances just as they now are with the
added benefit that the county would
be assured Of the enforcement of the
laws. no matter which were elected.
The law enforcement sentiment is
not confined to one or the other Of
the parties. There is a general senti-
ment that it is confined TO the prohi-
bition party. such is not the case and
both republicans and democrats will
vote for man pledged to suppress
public gambling. no matter what his
politics.

MORALS OF THE PLUToCRAT.

1t will be remembered that some
time ago when the wife Of w. Ellis
Corey. president of the steel trust,
charged that person with desertion. it
was reported that Mr.. Corey would be
required 10 surrender his position.
But recently. without any noise what
ever. the steel trust has reelected W.
Ellis Corey to the presidency.
Schwab fell in the gambling houses
Of Monte Carlo. and he was forced to
retire. Corey fell in the bagnios OF
the variety stage. and he is reelected.
Men holding positions with these
great trusts must remember that 70
bet ones money on a "-ure loser" is
a greater sin than the gambling away
Of ones honor, the desertion OF a
faithful wife and the destruction OF a
home.
Surely the national honor is per-
fectly safe in the hands Of w. Ellis
Corey and the men who reelected
him to a position OF honur and trust

THE FUTURE.

What may we take into the vas,
Forever?
That marble door
Admits no fruit OF all our long en-
deavor,
No fame-wreathed crown we wore,
No garnered lore.
What can We bear beyond the uu-
known portal?
No gold. no gains
OF all our toiling; in the life i'm
mortal
No boarded wealth remains,
No gilds. nor stains.
Naked from out that far abyss behind
us
We entered here:
No word came with our coming. to
remind US
What wondrous world was near.
No hope. no fear.
Into the silent starless night be-
fore US,
Naked we glide;
No hand has mapped the constellation
DER US,
No comrade at our side,
No chart. no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight
black and hollow.
Our footsteps fare;
The beckoning Of Fathers hand We
follow
His love alone Is there,
No curse. no care.

The Old Plane Tree of Cos.

In the island of Cos, in the 1Egian
sea, there stands, jealousy guarded, 8.
huge plane tree measuring nearly eight
cen yards in circumference. 1t is sur
rounded by a podium, or raised plat
form breast high, doubtless built to
support the trunk Of the tree after it
had become hollow and weak from age.
The lower branches are still well pre-
served and have been shored I'D by
pieces of antique columns, over the up.
per ends of which the branches have
grown like caps in consequence Of the
pressure of their own weight. Close by
the tree is solid marble seat, which is
said to be the chair of Hippocrates, the
father OF medicine, and it is supposed
that he taught the art Of healing from
that seat. He was born at Cos 400 B.
G.. This gives a clew to the age of. the
celebrated plane tree, which must be
considerably.m more than 1000 years old.

received 81 electoral votes in 1924, 40
in 1882 and 1C5 in 1914 but never
enough to elect him. Clay was elected
speaker of the house of representatives
on the first day of his term in that

Our Voices Deepen,

The primitive inhabitants of Europe
were all tenors; their descendants OF
the present time are baritones, and fu-
ture generations will have semibass
voices. The voice has tendency to
deepen with age. The tenor of twenty
becomes the baritone of twenty-eight
and the bass of thirty-six. The inferior
races have higher pitched voices than
the more cultured. The negro has a
higher voice than the white man.
Among white races, the fair complex
ionea man has higher voice than his
darker skinner brother. The former is
usually baritone or tenor, the latter
Il contralto or bass. 1t Is asserted that
tenors are usually of slender build,
whereas basses are stout, but there are
too many exceptions to such rule for
it to be reliable. The same remark ap-
plies to the statement that thoughtful
men have deep toned voices and vice
versa. The tones of voice are per-
ceptibly higher before than after a
meal, for which reason tenors are gen.
orally careful not to sing too soon after

In the legislative. executive and
Judicial appropriation bill, which
was reported to the house last week, a
provision has been inserted that all
documents sent to congress from
the government printing office shall
follow the rules Of photography es-
tablished by Webster's and other
generally accepted dictionaries of
the English language"
This provision arises from the
order of President Roosevelt with
regard to public spelling, and, ac-
cording to an Interpretation placed
on it by member of the house ap-
priation committee, the intent is
that the president may send his
message to congress spelled in any
way he may see fit, but when it or
any departmental document author
lied by law or ordered by congress
to be printed is sent to the govern
ment printing office it shall be
printed according to the generally
accepted rules of spelling.
Some Of the thunder Of the pro-
vision was stolen when Public
PriGtcr Stillings stated at the hear
ings of the committee that congress
sional printing was not contemplated
