Wood for Barrels.

Three hundred million barrels, ac-
cording to trustworthy estimates, are
manufactured every year, in the
United States. OF these, probably the
greater number are used to hold solid
contents such as flour. sugar, cement,
lime and potatoes or other farm pro-
ducts, and are called slack barrels,
as distinguished from tight barrels,
which are used for oil, liquors, wines,
and other fluids. Woods suitable for
slack cooperage are commoner and
cheaper than those used for tight bar
rels which were once made almost
exclusively from the finest white oak
obtainable, and which must always
require material of a high grade.
Nevertheless, slack barrels of the bet
ter grade, notably flour barrels re-
quire material which, like elm, is
rapidly becoming scarcer. With the
enormous drain on supplies, manufac-
turers are already feeling the need
of economlzing in the use Of the rarer
woods and of finding serviceable sub
stitutes among those more plentiful

A VOODOO SCORCERESS.

A personal character in the Creole
negro world is Delphine. Besides be-
ing female Jack-of-all-trades, she
can cook a first-class course dinner.
knows the healing power of plants
and can cure the most obstinate head
ache by the mere manipulation of her
large and supple black hand.
Delphlne is largely in demand as
mistress of ceremony for every we'd
ding, funeral and christening in her
part of the town. When she has
donned her gayest toggery she pre-
sents a really striking figure. In her
ears she wears enormous hoops of
gold, and red is Invariably the domi-
mating note in her apparel. She en-
joys unlimited popularity among the
white folk, but is held in awe by the
people of her own color. And there
is reason for this. Rumor has almost
reached the point of certainty that
Delphine is a voodoo sorceress and
has time and again eXerted evil spells
upon her race. Who knows?
One fact is clear-she is not always
as sauve and forbearing with her own
kind as a compatriot should be. AS
she stands in the evening light, smok-
ing her corncob pipe, with arms akim-
bo, there is look of mystery and
thoughtfulness in her bead-like eyes.
She is no doubt thinking that the
handsome rooster, now pecking at the
last grains of corn fallen from her
hand, is eating his last meal on earth.
and that tonight she will snatch him
from his roost, decapitate him and
present him all warm and bloody to
the great spirit voodoo, the mighty
and sacred snake, the divinity of her
diabolical sect, together with the other
obligations of toads, lizards and young
owls.
Put of course such assumptions are
| based on what her own people think
of her, for old Delphine may never
have been inside of a voodoo house,
and her solicitude for her fine chan
| ticleer might just as well be associat-
ed in her mind with anticipations of
delicious fricassee, succulent with
dumplings and brown gravy.-Metro-

The higher salaried positions are

TRUSTS AND MONEY BAGS.

The information that II. NJ. Cake,
one of Portland's candidates for the
United States senate is actively enlist
ing the trusts in his campaign will
not aid Mr., Cakes candidacy among
the common people who are opposed
TO trust domination of the senate.
If Mr.. Cake obligates himself to
the tobacco, sugar, book and other
trusts in his campaign for the sena-
torship. how cna he faithfully serve
the people of Oregon
Thus much for Mr.. Cake.
AS to Portland's other candidate,
Jonathan Bourne, the common peo-
pie need no introduction. His money
bags are ample it is true, but how
about his past record in Oregon?
Strip from him the flamboyant gleam
of spectacular politics and take away
his money bags and what is Bourne ?
A penny for your guess.
The truth of the senatorial situa-
ton is that Judge Stephen A. Lowell
of this city, the plain man of the
people, with capability devoid of can't
with honesty devoid of ostentation
with fixed, practical ideas of good
government and with the nerve and
courage to stand for them at al
times and under all circumstances, is
the leading candidate for the senate
in Oregon today.
Judge Lowell will make campaign
among the people. He will meet the
common man at home and talk tc
him as man to man.
Bourne and Cake may conduct theil
campaigns through the trust agencies
and by means of hired eulogists. Th'
people are not attracted to such mel
nor to such methods.

CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY?

When Carlyle, some 60 years ago,
coined the term captains of indus
try" as he looked out upon the world
without mingling with It, from the
quiet vantage ground OF quaint Graf
genputtock, he gave it as much cur
rency as any coin OF the realm, and
1t represented superior talent, genius
even, and conscious responsibility to-
gether with a rough and ready sense
of honor that was incapable of indi-
rection, chicanery or meanness of any
sort, says the Memphis News-Scimi-
tar.
Transplanted to this country within
the past few years and applied to our
jugglers of finance, it soon acquired
a qualified meaning, and it is destined
at no distant day to become an op,
probrium, the dialect of obloquy, a
stigma of dishonor.
What a sad spectacle has met the
eyes of the nation of late in the in
surance Investigations! What a sad
spectacle is meeting them now! In
Chicago the criminal pork packers
are on trial because they violated the
law and were discovered and appre-
hended. In st. Louis the Standard
Oil criminals who have enjoyed i'm
munity so long in their careers of
lawlessness, are being brought to
book because an inflamed public SEN
timent is demanding that the lash OF
retributive justice be applied to the
wrongdoers.
And these trials! These blessed
trials! Captains of industry and their
hirelings enter the witness box, raise
their hands to high heaven and swear
to tell the truth, the whole truth anG
nothing but the truth, calling as theil
witness and asking as their aid the
eternal God.
Then they launch out on a course
of moral perjury, at least, if not lega
perjury, by concealment, tergiversa
ton, evasion. or downright lying, b!
declaring that to answer a question
would incriminate themselves, ol
that they do not recollect anything
about the matter. oh, Mnemosyne
goddess of memory and mother or th'
MUSES., what sins are committed in tn!

city than former councils. Hereto
fore the finances of the city have

that the city treasurer and the bank
which enjoys the use of the city funds
could manage the investment of few
thousand dollars from the accumu-

benefit to the city is concerned, it
would be better to give the $500 per

thing Mr.. Dickson can do is to resign
