s. A. D. Puter says the Port
land Attorney Was His
Partner

Portland, Sept Pale, feshy,
from his long imprisonment, S. y,
D. Puter was taken from his cell in
the county jail, where he is serving
his sentence and placed on the stand
as a witness for the government this
morning in the F. P. Mays land fraud
trial.
He testified that Defendant Mays
acted as his attorney in locating and
securing 81 timber claims in Linn
county, and afterwards became his
partner in locating II claims in the
Cascade reserve, three of which were
decided to Mays. He testified that
he paid Senator Mitchell $4,000 in
Washington and four years later Sc
cured patents, which Hermann had
previously held.
He said that Mays ought to be
serving time with him, as he was his
partner in the deal for which he
(Puter) was convicted. Mays acted
as silent attorney for him during his
trial.
Puter also testified that State Sen
ator George c. Brownell, of Oregon
City, agreed to fix the grand jury for
him, and was paid money for it, but
failed TO deliver the goods. He ad-
mitted paying Forest Superintendent

THE PoINr az 49,.

The State Journal is exercised because
Governor Higgins has taken a hand in
the speakership fight in New York and
It says that is precisely what Governor
Bailey did True enough, but there is
this difference: Governor Higgins has
taken an interest in the fight in the
ment as against the domination of an
intolerable machine, Governor Bailey
took a hand to control the legislature
and maintain the machine. The two
cases are not at all parallel.-Lawrence
Journal.
Begging the Journals pardon. the
State Journal is not exercised over
the action Of Governor Higgins-and
President Roosevelt-in the New York
speakership fight. On the contrary it
approves their action in wrestling the
control of the New York legislature
from the Oden machine, just as it ap-
proved Governor Bailey's action in
wrestling the control of the Kansas leg
islature from the Burton machine.
Something seems to be the trouble
with the Lawrence Journals point Of
view. Possibly it has political astig
matism.
Back in 1901 the Burton machine con-
trolled both branches of the Kansas
legislature. When Bailey was elected
governor over the opposition Of the
Burton machine he knew It
would oppose him in the legislature If
possible and bring his administration
into discredit. Therefore he sought to
control the organization of the house,
just as Governor Higgins is now doing
in New York And Higgins action is
not one bit more in the interest of re-
form than was that of Governor Bail
ey.
w. r. Stubs and E. w. EIoch sided
with the Burton crowd in the organiza-
ton of the house in 19O3-and were left
out on a limb. Stubs even formed
business arrangement with Burton and
both Hoch and Stubbs stooo by Burton
until he was found out by the govern
ment and convicted Of a crime. Perhaps
this ought not to be told against Hoch
and Stubs. however, as they have
doubtless repented ere this, but it is a
part OF history.
Among the other measures Governor
Bailey recommended in his message
was one to safeguard the state funds,
which the house passed. Had the Bur-
ton crowd not controlled the state SEN
ate and defeated the governors recon-
mendation so to allow T. T. Kelly to
handle the state funds for his own ben
eft the state of Kansas would now be
many thousand dollars better off than
it is, and the states part in the first
National bank crash would have been
avoided. The Burton machine was
afraid Bailey would institute just that
kind of a reform.
The Lawrence Journal better get its
glasses adjusted and look again. Then
it should acknowledge that Governor
Bailey did right in aiding in the cleo
ton of J. T. Pringie as speaker of the
Kansas house in 1903. or it should de-
nounce Higgins and Roosevelt on ac-
count Of ''Pringleizing' the New York
legislature.
And incidentally the Topeka Capital,
the Kansas City Journal, and various
other papers that abused Governor
Bailey and Mr.. Pringle should not be
afraid about speaking up on this sub
jeci.

s'Cats have only come into fashion
within comparatively a few years.
Now they are quite a fad. The An
CORA is a great pet. A cat as a gen
eral thing is healthy. It has a dis
temper peculiar to its species, and also
mango and eczema, but most of the
cats that are patients at animal hos
pitfalls are taken there for some injury
received. In other words, most OF the
troubles of the cats are caused by as
saults, either intentional or acct
dental"
Constitutional treatment is not the
only method reSOrted to in the hos
pitfalls. Surgery also plays an impor-
tant part Many dogs in New York
may be seen running around on three
legs as a result of the operating table
A dog does quite we'll on three legs,
although. Of course, he loses much of
his natural grace and agility. Not
long ago a man living on Washington
Heights, Manhattan, tried the expert
ment of making wooden leg for a
pet dog that had been operated upon.
He got the leg to fit fairly well, but
somehow or other it didn't work sat
isfactOrily. Every time the dog got
mixed up in a street fight the wooden
leg became detached and he invariably
got the worst of it. Probably one Of
the most important operations was
that performed on a cat which had a
tumor in the breast. The tumOr was
removed ana the cat at last accounts
was getting better. Two bullets were
removed from an Angora cat few
weeks ago, and the operation proved
entirely successful. One Of the bullets
was imbedded in the Jaw in the right
side and the other, one in the left side
of THE head. After the operation it
was found necessary to feed the cat
with some broth for some time, but it
finally recovered and was as we'll as
ever The most sickly of all dogs in
this country are the Japanese spaniels
and they are frequently patients at the
hospital. They are very popular as
pets In their own land they are ex-
acclinlate them to the United States.
Every effort has been made to intro
duce them here, as they are the most
attractive of the toy dogs. They do
not weigh more than from two to five
pounds, and in many ways are more
like a cat than dog.-Brooklyn

One reason why truth is stranger than
fiction is that makers Of fiction general
" try to be plausible, while truth IS
never hampered by any such considera-
ton. Here, for instance, is a true story.
No reasonably expert fiction writer
would think of concocting so improba-
bic yarn.
A Brooklyn man whom we may as
well call Smith-the Smiths are all so
used to it they probably won't mind
this Smith dreamed q policy gig one
night not long ago. The numbers were
so deeply impressed on his mind that he
remembered them when he awoke and
told them to relative at the breakfast
table.
Give me quarter" said the rela-
tive, half in fun, land I will play the
gig today"
Smith tossed a quarter over to him.
and the matter dropped from his mind.
That afternoon a knowing horseman
gave Smith a dead straight tip. 1t was
the surest thing ever, and a good long
shot, so Smith borrowed $50 and lost it
on the horse.
That evening on his way home he
passed the cigar store where he usually
stopped. He concluded that, with only
so cents in his pocket he'd better smoke
his pipe after dinner.
Give me quarter" said his relative,
after the evening meal, land I'll give
you a good cigar"
But Smith went right on filling up the
old pipe.
wen, give me a quarter and I won't
give you a good cigar" the relative in
sisted.
I've no quarters to spare" Smith an
swered mOrosely. He was dreadfully in
the dumps. He had promised to pay the
$50 next day, and had no idea how he
was going to raise it.
Give me a quarter, I tell you the
relative demanded. Il must have it..
"Oh, we'll, if it's as bad as that"
and Smith flung the silver piece across
to him.
There" said the relative: NOW you
are entitled to half the winnings. put
dollar on your dream-gig today, and
it won an even hundred
He handed s50.5O out to Smith and the
incident was closed. Every one of the
three numbers he had dreamed had
Won.
Now don't tell me that is a good
story. It isn't. It is merely a true
story. If I hadn't been prevented by
facts I could have made a much more
plausible yarn of it, but it wouldn't
have been so strange.-Brooklyn Ea-
gle.

CALL MONEY.

The call money market consists
properly of unused balances. sums
which for one reason or another are
not put to their ultimate use. Money
in process of investment, moneys await
ing litigation, funds accumulated for
disbursement at a time not yet reached
such funds are properly lent from
day to day, for they can be lent in no
other way. The exhaustion of such
funds is not an alarming matter of
itself. It's power for harm lies in the
consequent offering of such rates of in
terest that money is diverted from
wealth creating uses. The selling Of
Northern Pacific at 1000 shocked the
security market, but did not disturb
true values. Investment yields were
undisturbed. Similarly rs per cent
money is of no great importance so
long as it reflects merely a competition
for idle funds. But when such a.
bribe sufhces to divert capital from the
uses of industry a danger signal is
