A Woman's Word.

To the Editor of The Star:
The protest against the smoke nuisance
on street cars, in recent number of The
Star. is most timely. Let other citizens fol-
low this brave protest till public opinion
shall triumph In banishiug this evil. TIL
the day of odorless. smokeiess tobacco the
law should prohibit its use on street cars,
boats. at railway stations-in fact. every
place where human being are massed in
promiScuous crowd The pleasure and profit
of the street car ride to many an over
wrought person is made Impossible by the
volumes of vile smoke which vitiate the
entire atmosphere of car, If the
smokers confined to the rear platform
or the last three rows of seats. Is it not
time the long-suffering, patient public
ceived its reward by banishing from public
places the smoke nuisance.

and 1t begins to look as though they were
getting more than is coming to them by
rights Does Mr.. Brown think that the
ladies. gentlemen and children who use tho
cars for pleasure and who object to being
covered with sparks and ashes. choked and
perfumed with tobacco smoke. can enjoy
a ride under such conditions, while the
smoker is gratifying a selfish pleasure? 1t
certainly appears that the smokers are
getting the best run far their car tickets.
and that the officials of the roads are
negiectful OF the rights of their other
patrons.
Why do we see no smoking" signs in
nearly every public building? Let us hear
from some of the lady patrons of the ears.

The slip TO the north of the ferry boat
Landing at the foot of King street Alex
andria- is being deepened and the pier. 1t
is said. will be rebuilt for the use Of the
new freproof excursion steamer. James
town. which the Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat Company vii have in service on
the river during the coming summer. The
slip was formerly used by the steamers
7. V. Arrowsmith and Wakefield when they
were owned by the old Washington Steam
boat Company, limited, and by the steamer
Belle Haven when she ran on the ferry
route. There was then ten or twelve feet
of water in the dock, but since its use has
been discontinued it has shoaied up several
feet. 1t Is stated 1t will be dredged to a
depth of fifteen feet at low water. The ma
chine employed in dredging the new sewer
outlet is employed on the work when not
digging al the sewer.

smoking on Street Cars.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your correspondent. c. NJ. d. Brown. did
not read very carefully your able article
or my suggestion in regard to prohibiting
smoking on street cars. In either article
there Is not hint that any one should stop
suaoking-only in places where the habit
annoys others. Does Mr.. Brown see gen.
tlenaen smoking in church. the theater, ele
vators, the meetings Of the Y, NJ c. A.
where only men attend-or on cars of the
steam railroad except In compartments set
apart for that purpose? Does not Mr..
Brown know gentlemen who smoke re-
rain from the practice when they know
that 1t annoys others? Two accidents to
ladies have occurred within a few squares
Of my residence, both directly caused by
the premature starting Of the car. the con-.
ducfor being unable to see the rear plat
form because OF the crowd OF smokers.

An estate valued conservatively at
$4,000. was left by the late Frank b.
Clopton and by the terms of his will;
which was filed for probate this
morning, the entire property with the
exception of $40, is left to Mrs. Clop-
ton. Also life insurance to the
amount of s12,5OO was carried by the
deceased.
The will, which, was filed for pro-
bate this morning was made on June
5, 1905, and it is very brief. BY its
provisions the widow, Mrs. Sibyl G.
Clopton, is made the executrix with.
out bond. The only bequests in the
will are to the daughter and wife of
the deceased. To the former, Sibyl
Clopton, the sum of $40 is left and the
remainder of the personal and real
property is bequeathed to Mrs. Clop-
ton. She is also empowered to en-
cumber, exchange, sell or bargain any
of the property in the estate before
final settlement is made should she
deem such to be best. The signing
of the will was witnessed by Mark
Moorhouse and Miss Ida Boyd.
As attorney for the estate, Charles
H. Carter filed the will for probate
this forenoon and also petition ask
ing for the appointment of Mrs Clop-
ton as executrix The appointment
was at once made by Judge Gilliland.
In the petition the value Of the real
property is approximated at 100000
and the personal property at $4,000.
However, the above figures are said
to be lower than the actual value OF
the estate which is roughly estimat-
ed as follows:
Ranch at mouth of Mckay creek
$50 acres, $4,000; residence proper
ty, 10000; Dusenberry building, S15,-
900: town lots in Pendeton, $4,000;
personal property, $4,000. The per-
sonal property includes stock in tho
Hotel Pendleton company; Equitabll
building and loan association, f. b.
Clopton & Co., and other concerns
with which the deceased was identi,
fled.

OHIO SHERIFF Is SWIFT.
Expected Tomorrow to Get Prisoner
Who Still Awaits Him.

1T is the order Of the court that
the prisoner, Martin Baker, be held
and that the hearing be continued
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning"
Thus spake Justice of the Peace
Parkes this afternoon after having lis.
tened for an hour to vocal sparrin .
match between District Attorney
Phelps and Charles II. Carter, the lat
ter being assisted by his partner ]
Roy Ralay. 1t was the contention OF
the attorney for the prisoner that
the letters, kilograms, etc, on tho
strength Of which Baker is being held
in the county Jail are all without
weight from "A legal standpolnt.
Nevertheless. they have been suffic-
lent so far and from indications they
will suffice to keep Baker in Jail until
the Ohio sheriff arrives That officer
is in Salem today getting the neces.
sary papers from the governor and is
expected here tomorrow. He has been
making record time.
Al the hearing this afternoon Prof
J. w. Huff, who is from Defiance, o..
testified as to who are now serving
as sheriff and district attorney of that
county. 1t was from these gentlemen
that the orders for Bakers arrest
came.

REV. CARVER
IN PENDLETON
RESIDENT AGENT STATE
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
Is Lawyer and Legal Adviser of the
State League, and Will Have Charge
of the Affairs of the Organization
in Eastern Oregon-Will Answer
Calls for Lectures From Any Lo-
cality.

Rev. John Z. Carver and family
have moved to Pendleton from Prai-
rie City, where Mr.. Carver has been
for the past two years pastor of the
Methodist church. They are living at
4O4 East Webb street.
Mr.. Carver comes to Pendleton as
the resident agent of the state Anti
Saloon league. having its affairs in
hand for the eastern parts of the
state, working in conjunction with DIR.
Paul RAIDER of Portland, the presi-
dent of the state league. Mr.. Carver
came to Oregon from Noblesville,
Ind, where he was practicing attor-
ney and was by election prosecuting
attorney of Hamilton county.
From this it will be inferred that
Mr.. Carver is an attorney, which is
true, and he comes to Oregon and to
Pendleton with an abundance of en-
dorsements- as a profound and ener-
getic lawyer. Naturally, he will have
charge of the legal phases of the
temperance work in eastern Oregon;
he will he, as he is now the legal ad-
wiser of the Anti-Saloon league, and
porbably of all the other temperance
organizations as well.
Much of his time will be spent in
| the lecture field. He is a very effect
i've speaker-one of the best in the
state, and is a natural agitator for
moral reforms.

Railroads Ceased TO Report.

However, when in 1898 the act Gre
ating railway commission was re-
pealed. for some unexplained reason
all the railroad corporations ceased
filing annual reports to the secretary
OF state. evidently upon the presump-
ton that the act requiring reports
had also been repealed.
1t seems clear that this was a mis-
taken presumption, for in the code
prepared by the late C. B. Bellinger.
United States judge for this district,
and w. W. Cotton, general counsel in
this state for the o. r. & n. compa-
NY, they incorporated sections 5122
and 5124, inclusive, of the law requir-
ing the filing of railroad reports.
These sections are found in the seq
ond volume of Bellinger and Cotton's
code, and it is apparent that in the
opinion Of these eminent lawyers the
act is in effect.
