HE WISHED TO GET OFF.

A well-dressed elederly gentleman was sitting in a crowded street )car, says The San Francisco Chronicle, A very fashionable young lady entered the car and stood at the farther end. The gentleman started to rise, but she quickly stepped up to him and said: "Oh, you need not give your seat up to me-" The gentleman sat down and looked at her aghast, but said nothing. After a few minutes had passed he again arose, but she said in a cherry voice: Oh, truly enjoy standing" This time the young belle laid her hand up on him and gently pushed him into his seat, After another space of time had elapsed he arose for the third time, and, without giving the young time to speak, said:
 T have already been carried six blocks my destination, and now, if you will allow me, I will get off"

BIGGEST FARM IN THE WORLD

BIGGEST FARM IN THE WORLD.
 In 8 moment of vlnous enthusiasm Daniel Webster put his hand in his pocket, asked how much the National debt was, and offered to pay it him. self. A Mexican farmer, Don Luis Ter razas, a great friend of President Diaz, once offered to assume the Mexican National debt; and 1t wouldn't have kept him awake nights if his offer had been accepted. Don Luis has what you might call tidy little farm at Chi huahua; about S,0OOOOO acres. Takes half day to cross it. Whewl Don Luis is thought to own more than a million cattle, but a bagatele of a hundred thousand or so more or less never bothers him. His stable con sists of some 100000 horses; his sheep field of 100000 sheep. From cUO,0Oi 10 SO0,001 calves are brande1 with his brand every spring. More than z thousand cowboys and so on keep bis cattle on thousand hills, By he way his farm includes a few mountains for diversification. At his slaughter and packing houses near Chihuahua City, 25,O00 cattle, as many sheep and hogs innumerable. are killed: and away they go in his own refrigerators cars. Some 4O,O0O persons dwell on his estate and are ruled by this Arabian Nights farmer, who lives in two-mil- lion (silver) dollar castle, and is 2 swell and nabob such as these United States know not.-Every Maga- zine

In the contention she is supported by her daughter.
 The Cemetery association is willing to abide by the will, and is being rep resented beforethe haring by Attorney Watrous. Bernard F. Gaffney of Ber- lin is acting as counsel for Mrs. Hills. The hearing began yesterday morning and was continued at o'clock in the afternoon.

THROUGH
A FADED
LETTER
Letter Written by Aldermi n
AcheSOn'S Mother Leads
to Identity of
Dead Man

Through the remnants of faded
letter found on his dead body, the
identity of James Thornburn, an
uncle of Alderman lie eAcheson, of
this city, has been made known. The
body of Mr.. Thornburn, who was a
prospector, was found on Lost creek,
near Anaconda, Montana, September
4th, and there was nothing on his
body to indicate who he was, eXcept
a faded letter, most of which was
faded and torn so as not to be read
able. The letter was old and was
mailed at Janesville, Wisconsin, last
year. The letter was found to be
written by Mrs. A. Acheson, of Ia
coma, the mother of Lee Acheson, OF
this city. Enough of the letter could
be read to show that the writer had n
son in business in Salem. The coro.
ner at Anaconda sent the letter to the
chief of police of this city, and Mr..
Cornelius at once saw that Lee Ache
son was the person referred to in the
letter.
Mr.. Acheson at once telegraphed
this morning to the Anaconda au.
thorities and the identity of the dead
man has been established.
judging from the appearance of
Ine remains, and from the date of a
newspaper in the pockets of the
clothes it is believed that Mr.. Thorn.
ourn died last August or September
a year ago.

MARION
COUNTY
OFFICIALS
Have Kert the Records Near
ly Perfect--TwO Have
Money Due Them and the
Third Has Only Minor
Errors Charged

The Republican county officials o!
Marion county have made fine rec
ords for the past four years, If the
report Of the experts on three OF
them is any criterion. The experts
have done a good job, and seem to be
competent men for any such work
They will be employed to do the rest
of the exporting.
County Books Exported.
Experts Frank Meredith and w. l.
Staley completed their work of ex-
porting the books of the Marion
county clerk, recorder and treasurer
| for the four years ending July !,
k1906, and today filed their result in
a closely typewriter document OF
about 40 pages, and shows very thor
ough work on the part of experts.
Every warrant has been checked and
accounted for. In concluding the re-
port on the clerks books the ex-
perts say:
eve find that, during the period
of four years the present books have
been opened, balance of the entire
ledger has never been taken. The
accounts which have to do with the
county treasurer have been compared
and balanced occasionally, but in
other accounts numerous errors have
been allowed to crep in, and this will
always be the case where no check
is kept upon the work, no matter how
careful one intends to be. We would
recommend that trial balance of
the entire ledger be taken at once
each six months, and that it be pre-
served in a suitable back for the pur-
pose. Such a course will make a
saving of considerable time in the
matter of auditing this part of the
work"
In conclusion the report shows
Si.O5 fees due the county, and omit
ted from the fee book. The report
shows that the law requiring adver-
tising Of all warrants due and un.
paid once a year, the county officials
have advertised only those that were
outlawed, and the clerks books show
about 500 warrants paid but not cam
,eled.
They find that II errors should
have been charged and credited as
'ollows; Debts, s23.44; credits.
SS4S.S9. As a whole, they find the
work of the clerks office well done.
md the only real criticism the ex.
'erts have 20 offer is the neglect In
aking a trial balance Of the entire
edger occasionally, in order TO test

cunts, as well as those embraced In

The FAMINE IN NORTH JAPAN
STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE Ma
TIoNAL RED CROSS.
of the Most Terrible Starvation
Emergencies of Modern Times.

New York,-Ofieials of the New York
state branch of the American National
Red Cross, Thursday, issued a statement
as to famine conditions in Japan:
THE famine in Japan" the state
ment says, which has been considered
for some time moderately serious, is
now known, as. the result of reliable
private advices received by the New
York state Red Cross, to be one of the
most terrible starvation emergencies of
modern times. The failure of the rice
crops, which at one time was believed
to be limited to certain classes only, in
the northern provinces, has been found
to be general in these parts of Japan,
and conservative estimates place the
number of starving Japanese at from
100000 to 100000 persons. For these
there is absolutely no relief in sight IN
til next October, when a new harvest
will be available.
The sum of SIG, DOC, 900 will be re-
quired to save the Japanese country
people"
A special meeting of the Japanese
famine committee has been called for
Monday. The committee is now con-
sidering whether it is wise to undertake
the collection and transportation Of food
as well as money.
