continues in the new way says the N.
Y. World. At present this city boasts
no sisterhood Of the Gordon bleu. There
are women caterers who satisfy the
light-luncn demands Of women's clubs.
For their formal affairs most Of these
associations go to established hotels
and restaurants, where male chefs
save members the trouble Of thinking
what they like to eat. A special din
ner devised by Charles Delmonico had
not a little to do with the prosperous
beginnings of Sorosis. The Martha
Washington hotel for women mas a
man to run the kitchen.
A comforting belief among the male
chefs of London is that women will
not be found in numbers to endure
the years of training-the apprentice
ships in marketing, in kitchen drudg-
cry and cooks chore -doing-which
precede full admission to the ranks
Of the elect. Besides, it is argued,
women lack as a rule the power Of
organization and the temperament
which gives quick, resOurceful recov-
cry from the sudden shock Of spoiled
course in an elaborate dinner.
1t is obvious that woman might
easily acquire the French chefs knack
of throwing away nothing. But could
she stand the strain of the ready-to-
minute, day-and-night table de-
mand which a large body of feverish
Americans carry into their idea of
club life?

WEALTH IN POLITICS.

The suit brought by Richard Croker
against a London magazine for init
mating that his money was obtained
by crooked methods serves to call at
tention to the fabulous wealth acquired
in politics. says the Minneapolis Jour-
nal. There is Timothy D. Sullivan
known as big Tim," of New York.
Sullivan has held one Office and owned
one saloon and today has an income
Of $15O,0O0 annually.
In Pennsylvania Israel w. Durham is
another example of the rapid rise Of
wealth in public Office. Durham held
one place, that of state insurance COM
missioner, which paid a good salary
and considerable fees. When the ex-
asperating reform campaign in Phila-
delphia came on it was SHOWN that
Durham was silent partner in all the
big contracting firms which did bust
ness with the city and was rated by
his fellows as worth considerably over
million dollars.
Let no young man despair of politics
as a profession.
OF course there are examples of pol
iticians who died poor, like Webster,
Garfield, George F. Hoar and others,
but they were not practical business
men like Sullivan and Durham.

Ventures into Wi|ds to Investigate
Husbands Death
MEETS WITH MANY ADVENTURES
PROVES SHE IS A HEROINE
WHEN SHE SAVES HERSELF
AND GUIDE.

CARVER, Ont, Oct. 3O.-To deter
mine the accuracy of the particulars
furnished her of the death of w. K.
Hemstreet, Chicago sportsman, while
on fishing expedition. $50 miles north
Of here, Mrs. Margaret Hemstreet, the
young widow, made a journey to the
scene of the accident.
On the trip to the interior there were
few incidents to vary the monotony,
but the return journey was fraugnt
with accident and excitement Camp
had been made one night in a rocky
ravine and close to stream when one
Of the guides was aroused at IL o'clock
by the cry of wolf. The call was
presently answered by another and an
other until a whole pack appeared to
be sweeping down upon the camp.
There was just time to awaken the
party when a yearling deer leaped
dCI OSS lIC UIOOh, udSucu ny Tie IcuI
and disappeared in the forest.
The next instant the pursuing wolves
came to- a stand directly in front of
the camp. For moment they hesi-
tated, and then they rushed upon the
campers in a wild, furious, bowling
avalanche. Every one quickly sought
tree, the guides cutting loose with
their repeating rifles while backing into
the timber and covering their charges.
The guides feared that in this strait
Mrs. Hemstreet might lose her nerve,
but she was admittedly much cooler
than her uncle and assisted him before
she swung herself into a w-limbed
spruce. The party was kept freed UNI
til sunup, when the wolves withdrew,
after killing the ponies, tearing the
tent to ribbons and devouring all the
edibles except some canned goods.
The following day one of the ca
noes which had been picked up thir-
teen days out on the return trip sprang
leak crossing lake, and had it not
been for the young woman's presence
Of mind would have sunk. She was
sitting in the prov when she heard
the guide utter an exclamation and
turned to see water entering through
hole.
There was no time to close the abra-
sion with pitch and bark. but Mrs.
Hemstreet was equal to the emergency
She placed bare hand over the leak
pressed down with all her might, and
although the water was so cold that
her arm was soon numb to the should
er, she prevented further leakage until
the guide had padded a mile and a
half to land.
Mrs. Hemstreet nearly lost her life
by sinking to her armpits in a bog,
where she was held for hours before
discovered. she had gone out hunting
alone.

A WOMAN CHEF IN CLUBLAND

London reports the appearance of

she will. There are British apprehen-

Governor Chamberlain Enthusiastic
on This Topic
TELLS OF oREsoM's 5000 WORK
CHAMPION HAS NEW
THEME FOR DISCUSSION WITH -,
WITH WAsHlNGToNIANs.

All open river ana tn0 Uuly VI lHc
state of Washington was the theme
upon which Governor George Cham
berlain of Oregon was most interested
when he talked to a Statesman rep
resentative this morning. Not even a
chance to talk on irrigation and it's
benefits, which is a Chamberlain, as
well as Roosevelt, hobby, kept Ore
CONS popular executive from talking
on the open river project which he
thinks is the most vital one to the
people of Oregon and Washington
just now.
In reply to question as to the ir-
rigation situation in Oregon at the
present time he said:
Irrigation Projects.
Cali our irrigation projects in Ore
gon are getting along nicely. We have
the government project in course Of
construction at klamath Falls When
completed this will irrigate 10000
acres of land.
"Then We have three or four state
irrigation projects under way under
the Carey act. The one at Bend SHOWS
the most marked progress. The Co.
lumbia Southern project, also carried
fairly well.
The others are also progressing.
Taken altogether Oregon has reason
to feel satisfied with the progress
made in irrigation. The benefits to be
derived from the various projects will
materially add to the wealth of the
northwest
But the governor could not even
dwell long on mis- favorite topic of ir-
rigation for he had a message on the
open river question which he wanted
live Washington newspaper to give
to the people Of Washington. He said:
Open River Topic.
zone of the most important things
to Oregon and Washington just now
is the opening Of the Columbia and
Snake rivers.
"Oregon has contributed, through its
legislature, $4,000 for this work. The
expenditure of this money has greatly
reduced the freight rates on wheat
products.
There ought to be an open river as
far as Lewiston. From 100000 to
$4,000 ought to be appropriated to
remove the distractions at Priest
rapids and Umatilla rapids. When
this is done it will open to freight
traffic all this section Of the country.
= "a large part of the down freight
to be offered comes from Washington
points. It Is material to the interests
of the farming community as well as
to the whole commercial community
of Washington to have this open way
and while Oregon does not demand it
she feels that Washington through its
representatives and through its legis-
lature ought to come to our relief and
assist Oregon in removing the obstruc-
lions which 1 have just referred to.
Through interviews I have hao
with numerous prominent business
men, merchants and shippers in this
state I believe they are in thorough
sympathy with the proposition to re-
move these instructions and for the
Washington legislature to assist by
handsome appropriation"

ADJUSTMENTS
Is Splendid Opera.

No more delightful rendition of
delightful opera was ever given in
walla walla than that Of "Babette"
by the Stewart Opera company at the
Keylor Grand last night. 1t was
performance worthy in every way OF
the best theaters of the country.
Owing to the apparent impression
that there were no good seats at the
lesser price the attendance last night
was not so large as it should have
been. The mistaken idea grew out OF
the fact that the first two rows in the
parquet for $3.50 applied to the en-
tire house. Everything back Of the first
two rows is 81, and the price drops to
25 cents in the gallery. With this mis-
take corrected A. is believed larger
house will greet the Stewart stars the
remainder of the week.
"Babette" was sung here during the
previous visit of the company, but it
was never before sung as 1t
last night. Every member Of
the company from Miss Day
to the rear ranks Of the
chorus was in good voice, right on
piece went through with gingery con-
duct.
Tho ifco1f &c foir ri known
here. There is a whole lot of music
in it and considerable comedy work.
The members Of the company fairly
outdid themselves last night and the
audience heartily encored the happy
hits and catchy music.
Miss Day was in good voice and her
grand climax, in contest with the flute
was a treat which few of those who
heard her last night will forget in days
to come.
Bertha Shalek's pretty, charming
work as "Vinette" eclipsed any pre-
vious efforts in that role and capti-
waited the audience from the beginning
to the end. Leslie shows up much
better in Babette" than in other OPP
eras. except, possibly Dorothy" A
good mate to Leslie last night was
H. L. Williams, as "Baltazar" and
Bowman Ralston, with his splendid
bass voice made a startling "Mon-
dragon"
Carl Haydn was in fair voice last
night and, as he is always a strong
favorite here he lost nothing of IA
vors showered upon the company.
y But supreme in comedy work last
night was Bessie Fairbairn as "Mrs.
Van Tympel." 1t was she who could
be called the whole snow" for every
minute she was on the stage Her
makeup was just bordering on the
outlandish but still of much comical-
ity and the talents she displays In
surprising variety kept her a center Of
attraction.
Unfortunately Miss Fairbairn last
night did not respond to the encore
On Its a Way We Have in Spain,"
sung with Haydn and Ralston and the
audience missed a great portion of the
best treat Of the evening. But tonight
there will undoubtedly be such
strong demand for more numbers that
the full list of comicalities will be
given.
The staging of the piece is as great
as ever, particularly in the last act.
Tonight "Babette" will be given
again. To those who were not pres
ent last night-to those who enjoy
real music and real acting, with high
class comedy work in support, The
Statesman strongly advises that they
take advantage of seeing this most
winsome opera. Nothing coming this
season will surpass it,
