Well Known Baker City Horsebuyer
Mysteriously Disappears.
For seven weeks /. B. Siler, we'll
known horsebuyer of Baker City, has
been missing. His wife believes
that be has been murdered by the out
laws known to infest the Willow
Greek country, near Ontario.
Siler disappeared February 81, with
nearly 5000 in cash fon his person.
His wife was in Colorado visiting her
mother at the time, and received a
letter from him dated February 26,
saying that he was starting for On
tario, to purchase some horses at Will
low creek. 1t has not been learned
who he was to deal with. Siler had
no family trouble and was not drink
ing man. He was about 45 years of
age.
AT the time he disappeared, Siler
had draft for $1,000 in the Citizens
National Bank of Baker, awaiting
his order. This has been untouched.
No one believes that be voluntarily
disappeared. The foul-play theory is
generally accepted. His disappear
ance has been kept very quiet by the
officers, who are searching for him,
and has just leaked out.
Officers admit that they have been
unable to trace Siler farther than
Ontario. How he left Ontario is a
mystery. He did not leave on train
and the authorities have not learned
where he secured horse, although
his saddle which he took with him to
Ontario cannot be found. His wife is
grief stricken and declares that she is
certain that he was murdered.

BUSINESS MEN HUNT FOR COL
 LEGE GRADUATES.

Long before the first of the year scores of companies begin active prep arations for adding to their force from four to five to one hundred of the most capable young men who will be grad uated from the various colleges. uni
 versailles and technical schools the fol- lowing June Considerable expense is involved in these preparations Book lets describing the attractivencss of each particular business are issued {:
 circular letters are sent broadcast to seniors, and special letters to college presidents and professors asking them to recommend particularly desirable men; records of the work of previous years are consulted to see where and how the best men may be obtained; special application blanks are prepared and sent out; clever representatives makes trips throughout the country to look over personally the graduating classes. With some firms this work is deemed important enough to warrant the personal attention of the president of the company and other high salarfed officials and if the efforts do not re- suit in securing the desired number of men of the fight type, they consider that their competitors have stolen march on them and that they have suf- fered real financial loss.-H J.

THIS GUN WAS FIRED.

Gun is a Chinese cook employed by a family in Hyde Park. He came to America about twenty-five years ago. He speaks English fairly well and is thoroughly familiar with American ways. He is also quite democratic in bis ideas and very outspoken. One afternoon recently the telephone in the home where he serves as cook rang and Gun answered the call.
 'Is Mrs. Blank there?" queried a woman's voice.
 No she is not here" replied Gun.
 Well. where is she?"
 'I don't know" said Gun q don't ask her where she goes"
 Who is this talking"
 "The cook" replied Gun.
 Well, I don't care to talk with the cook said the voice. with some as- perity.
 "All right" replied Gun. Please hang up the receiver"
 Gun soon lost his job for being too American.-Kansas City Star.

IT'S ONE eoop POINT.

The supervisors yesterday wisely availed themselves of an opportunity to get a new and complete. great register for nothing. The county ought to have had it even if it could not have been obtained at less than the usual price of about $2OOO. If care is taken in the compiling of this interesting literary work, it may be pieced out two years hence with a supplement and made to do. Or, in the event that we do not get single statehood before that time, there may be a rescrudescence in con gress of the joint statehood folly and there may be another joint statehood bill providing for the payment of our election expenses, amounting to about S6O,OOO. That is one nice thing about this jointure agitation. It is a cloud which scares no one, and has, beside, a silver lining. The most finical and ex- acting of us can find no fault with sec ton fl of the statehood bill.

A New Mexico paper, replying to a recent comparative statement by The Republican regarding the debts of the two territories. thinks that New Mex ico was not fairly treated, inasmuch as The Republican neglected to state that that territory contained many more counties than Arizona. We really do not see what difference that could have made. If there were ten times as many counties in New Mexico, that would not reduce their aggregate indebted ness. Nor would the thirteen counties of Arizona rest more easily on the share of it that would be sawed off upon them by joint statehood.

If all or enough of the states were democratic there would be no trouble in amending the constitution so that senators might be elected by the direct vote of the people. All democratic state convent 'ons so far held have fla vored such an amendment So have one or two republican conventions It is not likely however, that amendment will be an early adornment of the con stitution. When it becomes one, one of the reasons for the existence of tho senate will be removed

A SENSIBLE NEW MEXICAN.

The most sensible thing the Santa Fe New Mexican has lately printed on the subject of statehood is an inter view with a Las Vegas business man, MT O. D. Cheatham, formerly connect ed with the Las Vegas Optic. MT. Cheatham's views, given elsewhere in The Republican this morning, are quite similar to those entertained by the New Mexican before it's unexplained switch to jointure
 MT. Cheatham believes that joint statehood is better than no statehood but he believes that single statehood is far preferable to jointure We have frequently dwelt upon this very sens fbIe aspect of the case and have point ed out the folly of accepting an in ferior condition which would forever bar us from obtaining the best condi- tion for us, the full measure of our rights.
 MT. Chcatham does not believe that New Mexico will have to wait long for single statehood. It already has suf fcient wealth and population to com pei the country before long to recog- nize its rights. He would not there fore surrender those rights at this time. at the first offer of a sop, which he describes as a contemptible bribe- the statehood bills apparently princely gift of money for the schools and lands for other public institutions. It would be far better, he thinks, to support the schools by taxation as they are sup ported elsewhere.
 We believe that nfnety-nine out of every hundred men in New Mexico and Arizona will agree with MT. Cheatham that single statehood is better than joint statehood. Nine -tenths even of the jointists will admit that Now if ham and. decide that they will not pledge the glorious future for the in ferior present, there will be very few joint statehood votes in either terri this thing. Now is not the accepted time, now is not the day of what the joint statehood advocates call saliva tion. The door of opportunity will never be closed 60 those who como de- manding jointure. We can have it next year or the year after for the simple asking.
 Having come to the market, ofdi- nary business sense would dictate toI us the propriety of holding out for the best price.
 The territories are not perishabIe goods. They are like wine in which years mingle richness. They are grow ing in value in the eyes of the nation In short time if we hold out it will be willing to trade us a state for ter ritory, not a state for two territories

YOU CAN GET GOLD FOR SILVER.

YOU CAN GET GOLD FOR SILVER
 Secretary Shaws order to the assist ant treasurers of the United States to redeem silver in gold on demand is is- sued in accordance with the govern ments declared policy of maintaining the parity of our gold and silver money. There has been no rush for redemption. Nobody wants gold when he knows he can have it just as well as not. Nine persons out of ten, on receiving a $1O gold piece, will go to the nearest bank and exchange it for silver or paper dollars. This feeling of confidence is caused by our limitation of silver coinage to a quantity that can be kept at par without trouble. Under MT. Bryans plan of free and unlimited coinage, silver dollars would drop to their bullion value. Secretary Shaw's order affords an excellent demonstra- tion of the stability of our currency system. Gold is on hand in abundance for all needs and demands, but people prefer other forms of money because they are just as good" and much more convenient to receive, handle and pay out.
