HEROIC DEED RECALLED.
Salem Suicide Rescued Girl on Mt.
Hood Five Years Ago.

The death by suicide several days
ago of Professor F. NJ. Elfresh at the
Wallace fruit orchard, of which he
was superintendent, near this city,
has aroused no end of surprise and
regret among the Mazamas, by whom
he was held in high regard. Profes.
sor McElfresh it was who performed
a spectacular feat in saving the life
of a young woman who tainted in a
blizzard near the summit of Mount
Hood, in July, 1901, while the Ma
zamas were scaling the big peak.
With a fine display of courage he
offered himself as a human sled, and
with the unconscious young woman,
Miss Bethel Rawson. of DeMoss,
Ore, lashed to him, he was lowered
by ropes down the steep sides of the
peak by other brave Mazamas. 1t
was the only effective way OF getting
the imperiled young woman down off
the peak and to safety. Professor
McElfresh not only devised the
means, but volunteered himself for
the arduous feat.
The Mazamas' party was near the
top of the peak when Miss Rawson
tainted from exhaustion and expos-
ure to blizzard All other means
OF getting her off the mountain,
after efforts to restore her had fail
ed proved unavailing, and Professor
McElfresh's ingenuity and fine cour-
age solved difficult problem and
made him a popular hero He de-
,lined to take any credit on himself. |
however, and with a modesty that
vas seconded only to his courage dis
missed his conduct as not unusual.

thority on dairying 10 come 10 Ore

ters on the progress and scientific
features OF that industry. His lee
lures were calculated 20 increase the

have now followed this up by bring

same lines that the Iowa Agrlcultur-

Western Oregon was the finest dairy
country In the world The cheese

miles from any railroad. proves that
all this Is true7 Prof. Harrington

OUTRAGEOUS ELECTION AFTERMATH.

e is to be heartily deplored by
all rigllt-minded citizens Of Brook
haven, that the white primary
election Of Monday, which passed
Iof peaceably and in a spirit of
|neighborlY rivalry should have
been followed during the darkness
of that night by gratuitous insult
and indignity offered by some
oger-enthusiastic and reckless
friends OF Alderman Abrams to
DR.. /. w. Cooper, the other can
didate for Alderman in the fourth
ward. At three different lines
during the night miscellaneous
party of rowdies who had been
tanking upon beer at the homes
Of some Of the candidates, made
visits to the College, indulging IN.
loud talk (ladies who heard it,
tharacterizing some of the Ian
guage as 'sviIe"), singing ribald,
songs and referring to President
Cooper as rotten or rot.
Twice it is stated they entered the
college grounds, and on one Of
their visits entered the Methodist
church and rang the bell, causing
residents in that portion Of the
city to think a fire alarm was be-
ing sounded.
DR.. Cooper's sole ofense in this
matter was that, at the urgent
solicitation Of number Of the
voters of Ward Four, be had re-
luetantIy consented to allow them
to use his name as a candidate for
Alderman, and such conduct is
reproach on the fair name of this
city which no good citizen can
afford to ignore. It is especially
incumbent upon Alderman Abrams
and all his rational sup
porters to repudiate this wanton
insult to a high-toned Christian
gentleman and the institution over
which he presides, and place the
stamp Of their public condemna-
tion upon it. Until they have
had ample opportunity to be
heard, The Leader asks that any
condemnation of them for respon-
sibility or sympathy with the
outrage, be reserved.

Robbery at the College.

Last Saturday night, or rather,
in the early hours Of Sunday
morning, two negro boys aged
about 10 and IL years. sons Of
Albert Lyons. surreptitiously en-
tered Mrs. Lipscomb's room at
the college and stole several pieces
of Jewelry. On Monday morning
they returned and attempted to
again gain an entrance; but we're
heard and scared off before they
accomplished any further depre-
dation.
At the first visit they we're iden-
tified by q negro man who saw
them getting ever The fence and
the second time one of the teach
ers and others saw them.
They were arrested Yesterday
by Officers Mateer and Chas.
Hardy and are now reposlng III

DR.. Cooper states that The sole
object Of the recreant boys seems
to have been robbery. Some of
the ieweIrv was recovered today.
The boys bear bad reputation
for small thieyery and as chicken

THE CITY PRIMARY.

For the first time in its history,
Brookhaven on Monday held a
wffite primary for municipal off
GERS, the returns from which are
published in another column.
The figures show that in every
case where the successful candi-
date had an opponent, the contest
was close, except in the third
ward, and no one had much mar
gin to crow over. Mayor Lanier
and all the old members of the
present Board of Aldermen, ex-
cept Alderman Parsons in the first
ward, were re-nominated. This
should be exceedingly gratifying
to them notwithstanding the close
race most of them had, as il shows
that their administration OF the
city's affairs meets the approval
OF a majority Of the white quail
fed voters Of their respective
wards and the city.
City Marshal Hurst, Tax Col.
lector Sartin and Alderman Jones
had no competitors ID the race,
and Of course all received a graft
flying and complimentary vote.
OF the three candidates for Treas
urer, Messrs. Charles Heuck and
Pete Cantoui will run over in thc
second primary. Of the FIVE can.
didates for City Clerk. Messrs.
Charles Hamilton and Z. FL. Eel
lows will go into Che second pri-
mar y
The second primary will be held

DEHORNING THE RAILROADS
New and Apt Expression for Railroad
Control.

All of you who have raised cat
tie know that years ago there was
much trouble because of the long
horns of the steers. One old frac-
tious bossy steer would keep near
ly all the rest away from the
trough. A man suggested that
the steers be dehorned. The So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals objected, but it was
finally shown that the practice
was beneficial to the animals them
selves. We do not wish to iniure
the railroads or take one 10-cent
piece away from them that is
rightfully theirs; but we do wish
to dehorn them SO that all of us
may have an equal chance at the
trough of prosperity. From a.
speech by Col. w. A. Harris.
Without considering the present
campaign IN Kansas, Col. Harris
has made a most happy smile.
The present rate regulation move
ment, with President Roosevelt
behind it, is simply move to de-
horn the railroads in the interest
of the whole people.
No one wishes to take from the
railroads any Of their legitimate
rights. There is no desire on the
part of the public as a whole to-
iniure or cripple the roads any
more than the man who dehorns
his cattle wishes to iniure or Grip
pie them. The rate regulation
movement is designed simply to
|dehorn the railroads so as to keep
those that are inclined to use their
horns and be "bossyn from goug-
ing and imposing upon the weak
er classes. Some railroads doubt
less try to be decent, just as some
cattle are gentle and inclined to-
leave others alone. But when de-
horning is resorted to, it IS neces-
|sary to treat all cattle alike, and it
works the same way in dehorning
the railroads.
OF course, there is considerable
|snorting and plunging and paw
Ling of dust at the start, but the
railroads will find that they are
more frightened than hurt. After
the first smarting is over it will
be better for the roads, as we'll as
for everyone else. They will get
|all che feed they need or are en-
Titled to, and each will have just
las good a chance as The rest. But
There won't be sd much feed vast
led in rebates and passes. The
lbig roads WON'T be SO able to chase
1.-THE little ones away fsom the
through, nor will there be So much
danger Of their tossing the hired
linen over the fence Of the feed
Hot. Col. Harris struck good
lsimile when be spoke of %dehorn.
