Plain Statement.
Forest Grove Times.

The country showed by Tuesdays
elections that it still stands by the
republican party. In not a single con-
spicuous place did the opposition win
victory A few congressman in OBJ
scure districts were defeated on one
side or the other, but personal popu-
larity rather than national issues
caused the changes. The republicans
will have a clear majority of about
60 in the next house of representatives
and several senators will be gained
fro mstates that have elected repub-
lican legislatures. The democrats and
the opposition have not yet presented
any issues that have won the support
of the people.

STOCK SHEDS SLIDE INTO RIVER
Hundreds of Cattle, Sheep and Hogs
Sweapt to Death At Port
land.
STOCK SHEDS

STOCK SHEDS
PORTLAND, Nov. 1.-THE Stock
sheds of the Pacific States Packing
company on Macadam road tumbled
into the Willamette carrying more
than 1000 cattle, sheep and hogs into
the swirling water. Several tons of
hay in the second story of the sheds
was also precipitated into the stream.
About third of the stock carried
sheds were killed or drowned. For
an hour or more after the accident the
river was filled with half-drowned,
struggling animals.
All the packing plant employees and
many residents of the vicinity lined
the banks and manned skiffs and
were kept busy roping the swimming
animals and dragging them to places
of sefety on the shore.
The accident is attributed to the
recent heavy rains. The sheds were
constructed on piling over the edge
of the river, with a frantage of about
100 feet over the water. On these
pilings were built the cattle, hog-pen
and sheep-pen, and all the animals
awaiting slaughter were kept there
for feeding and preparation for the
packing plant. The sheds proper were
two stories in height, the second story

per Mill creek this morning
at 10 O'Clock that it was still
raining hard and Mill creek
had raised 6 inches. The
creek fell a foot last night.
The engineer said the damage
to the intake and settling
basins will be slight.
The Wickersham bridge, IA
miles up Mill creek is badly
damaged and is likely to go
out. The creek broke through
the bank on the north side
and washed out the founda-
tons. Farmers living above
the bridge are hemmed in
until the floods subside.
Telephone reports from
Superintendent Young at the
power house, received at the
gas company's office at 1920
this morning, stated that
pipe line walkers had just re-
turned from trip over the
pipe line. The pipe is intact
bat $50 feet of fume at the
headworks was displaced by
the flood. Superintendent
Young has a big force of men
repairing the fume.
Word received from other
cities is to the effect that all
power plants are useless and
abroad traffic is blocked.

1t is supposed that the heavy rains
undermined the foundation Of the
sheds, causing the earth on the steep
bank of the river at this point to
slide into the river

STRANGE FIGHT WITH TIGER.
How Native Held Beast at Bay Until
 Help Came.

How Native Held Beast at Bay Until
 Help Came
 A native employed on the Chuthama- lai estate was returningt one recen night from a shooting excursion and saw what he thought was a 1ackal. He shot and wounded the animal, which made off into the jungle. Early the next morning, while proceeding for an- other shoot; the man suddenly came across a wounded tiger lying in a patch of jungle.
 Presumably--it was this beast and not a jacal, which had ben hit the pre- vious night. The tiger immediately made for the man, who had no time to reload his rifle. Finding no other way out of his difficulty, the man threw down and resolved to fight it out with the tiger. The tiger opened it's jaws to seize the man, when the latter show ed his arm right into the tigers mouth With his disengaged arm he levelled blow after blow at the tiger with all him fight and at the same time yelled for help.
 Hearing the mans cries, a Paniyan was on neighboring hill, hurried down, and, taking in the situation, went and fetched an estate writer, MT. | Ladwin,
 The later came with gun but could do nothing at the start, for fear of hitting the native. However, the lat ter managed by a powerful effort> to throw down the tiger whereupon Mir. Ladwin put in a shot The shot was not fatal, and the tiger made another rusch at it's victim, who was able this | time to dodge away. MT. Ladwln now fired again and the tiger dropped dead.
 The wounded man was conveyed to the estate, where the hospital assis- ant in charge attended him, and it Is satisfactory to report that the man is progressing towards recovery, in spit of his wounds and his terrific experi- ience.-Karala Patrika.

WANT TO DO GOOD
WHAT SOME MILLIONAIRES
THINK ABOUT WEALTH.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December ia curious
wave of generous desire to do good things
with their vast Accommodations of wealth has
seized the noted millionaires.
Several of them have expressed freely
their opinions on what millionaires consider
should be their duty with their wealth. The
following are selected ideas along this
line:
John D. Rockefeller-Many men put the
accumulation of the dollar above the devo-
ton of their Creator. While it is well
enough to make money. it is entirely wrong
to forget our obligation to our Maker.
August Belmont-In contemplating the fu-
ture of the great and ever-growing needs
of our institutions. into whose life and
growth has flown an endless stream of be-
quests and donations, one must pause at
the thought of drying up those springs Of
life.
James J. Hill-To make slave of ones
self In order to secure the power that comes
from wealth is wrong. would not do it..
1t is not worth the candle
J. Pierpont Morgan-Honest wealth will
do no harm. do not remember in my life
that l ever wilfully misrepresented any
thing to anybody have helped men, and
in my humble way tried to be of some serv-
ice to my country.
Andrew Carnegie-Oh. pity the boy who
is born the son of a millionaire! 1 believe
rich mans surplus is sacred trust to
be administered in ones own lifetime for
the good of others.
Helen Gould-Wealth is a trust and not
to be used for ones personal pleasure alone
but for the welfare of others.

wealth tomorrow II ] could.

SIMPLESPELLING STILL
COMMITTEE SAYS CONGRESS
WILL NOT STOP IT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 15.-"Although
Congress nailed thru along with the other
simplified words to the mast on Friday.
said DR.. l. K. Funk today, 1.-The work Of
keeping the three hundred In style will go
merrily along. and in the course Of time
our efforts In this great saving OF time
and energy in letter-writing will be appre-
ciated."
DR.. Funk of the Funk & Wagnalss Com
pany, Henry Holt. the publisher, and Chas.
Sprague, president of the Dime Savings
Bank who are a committee to stimulate
the use Of the simplifed form of spelling
asserted that their ardor had not dtmin-
ished.
1--WE never asked that the national gov
eminent" said DR.. Funk, assist us in this
undertaking. To have the national govern
ment take up the simplified spelling at this
time would only be putting the cart before
the horse What we must first do Is to pre-
vail upon the business men to adopt 1t IN
their letter writing, and in this way the
new method will get a steadfast grip and
unconsciously all will gradually drop in
line.
Some Recent Changes.
Mr.. Funk calls attention to the fact that
in 1880 the government appointed United
States board of geographical names, whose
business 1t was to determine which forms
of spelling of disputed geographical names
should be followed by the government
printer.
This board is still in existence, and has
changed a number OF names, such as leav-
ing out the in Pittsburg. spelling klon-
dixie with ike instead of hyke, Boring sea
without the h.
II would favor the government adding to
tie membership of this committee dozen
or so experts on spelling and give 1t power
to determine which form the government
printer shall follow This would give US a
standard for all words" ~
In the notice to the employees Of the Funk
& Wagnalls Company regarding the SIM
plified words adopted, the company has or
dered that compound words in the fist Of
300 shall be used as solid words, and sew
eral words, with double meanings. such as
mist" have been taken out altogether and
the old form adhered to.
