Contentment, goodwill and optim-
ism are tremendous forces toward
health and the very foundation of good
looks. Enmity, bitterness and anger
poison the blood, while fear paralyzes
the nerve centers and creates bodily

makes life unbearable while it lasts.

TIRED OF BEING GOVERNOR
Judge Wickersham Creates Sensation
by Speech on Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, July 15.- Federal
Judge James Wickersham, of Alaska,
speaking before the State Bar associa-
tion, created a sensation by declaring
that he was tired OF acting as the gov
ernment of Alaska, and that the bar
of the state must whip the congress
sional delegation into line to grant
some power to the people of Alaska.
His speech overshadowed that of Vice
President Fairbanks in importance, for
he insisted that the only authority of
any kind in Alaska is that of the judi
ciary and the governor is mere figure
head with only authority to appoint
private secretary and notares public.
He denounced Seattle for quietly en-
joying a 500, 900, 900 annual trade with
Alaska and refusing to aid Alaskans in
getting system of government.
The Bar association banquet lasted
until l a. M, Mr.. Fairbanks, Governor
Mead, Congressman Humphreys, Sena-
tor Piles and others speaking in re-
sponse to toasts.

DELMAS AROUSES HENEY.
Little Progress Made in Glass Bribery
Case.

San Francisco, July 12.-Dr. Charles
Boxton, the temporary mayor of San
Francisco, on the witness stand III the
Glass trial yesterday afternoon told the
story of his debauchment by Theodore
V. Halsey, the indicted agent of the
Pacific States Telephone company, who,
he testified, paid him 5000, "mostly
in 500 bills" for having voted and
used his influence as supervisor against
the granting of rival franchise to the
Home Telephone company.
Boxton is a tine-looking gray haired
man of middle age. He has credit
able Spanish War record and is en-
titled to write "Major' before his
name. He was the last and only i'm
portant witness in an otherwise slow
and tedious day. He was not reluc-
tant nor yet noticeably willing testi
fer, but his examination by Mr.. Heney
was so spiked about with clever objec-
tions from Mr.. Delmas-often sus-
at length the gorge of the
assistant district attorney rose and he
hotly accused his veteran adversary of
trying to cloud the issue and impede

PROFIT IN ALFALFA.
Experiment Shows Great Value Of
Plant for Hog Feed.

Corvallis-A profit Of $27 an acre
for pasturage on alfalfa for three
months has been proved to be a posi-
bility by an experiment on the college
farm. There will remain yet during
| the season three or four months more of
pasturage on the same alfalfa field, and
DR.. Withycombe, who is directing the
experiment, is confident that more
than $50 an acre will be realized from
pasturage of the field during the sum
mer. The showing is considered to be
of great value in that it is believed an
almost equally favorable demonstration
can be made OH clover, rape or vetch.
The results are of striking value in il
lustrating the poss bilities of Western
Oregon in the field, as the profit to be
gained by the land is more per acre
than lands on which it can be done
sometimes sell for.
In the experiment hogs were used.
Thirty-two of tie animals were put on
a two-acre field of alfalfa April /. All
but five of the pigs were picked up in
the open market, and were of ordinary
grade as to breeding. Up to July l
they had made net gain of $3.50
pounds. Besides alfalfa they had con-
sumed during the three months period
IL, $50 pounds of skim milk, and 1,42O
pounds of chopped wheat. For the
skim milk, VIII ch was produced on the
college farm, 25 cents per 100 pounds
was allowed, aggregating $29.62. For
the chopped wheat, also grown on the
farm, l p cents per pound was allowed,
aggregatlng $21,30, making the total
cost of food, aside from alfalfa pastur-
age, $50.92. At 81 cents live weight,
the present market price of hogs, the
value of the increase in weight is
$lO5 .95, leaving a net balance for the
aelfalfa pasturage of $55.03, or $27 81
per acre.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
NEW NORMAL REGENTS.
Men Placed on Board Have No Affil-
iation With State Schools.

Salem-Governor Cham berIain has
named the members CT the new board
of regents who will have control of all
state normal schools. The regents are
c. f. Spence, of Carus, Clackamas
county, to serve one year: E. Hofer, OF
Salem, two years; E. f. Bragg, of La
Grande, three years; w. B. Aver, OF
Portland, Four years; Henry j. Maier,
of The Dalles, five years; Stephen Jew
ell, of Grants Pass, six years.
Not one of these men live in normal
school town, or has any connection with
a normal school. 1t is evident that in
making the appointments the governor
studiously avoided appointing men who
might by past associations, geographical
location or political interests, be pre-
JUDGED for or against any one of the
four normals. Not one OF the men is
interested particularly in either the
Unitersity of Oregon, the Agricultural
college, or any other state institution
This fact will leave them more free to
handle the normal school problem free
from other influence.
Spence IS farmer, a Democrat and a
member of the executive committee of
the State Grange.
Hotter is editor of the Capital Journal
and Republican.
Bragg is county superintendent Of
Union county and Democrat.
Aver is lumber manufacturer and a
Republican.
Maier is merchant and a Democrat.
Jewell is county judge OF Josephine
county and Democrat.
The state board of education, COM
posed of the governor, secretary of state
and superintendent of public instruc-
ton, are ex-officio members of the
board of regents.
Among educational workers in attend
ance at the session of the State Teach
ers' association, it was generally 1e-

Opening Will Cause Rush.

Klamath Falls-The restoration order

valuable for timber. in the entire dis

SO local residents are making arrange
ments to rush onto the land and acquire
a prior right through squatting On the
same and making Improvements. While
the land is restored to settlement on
September 2S, it is not open to entry
until 80 days later. Consequently the
squatter who is on the land first after it
is restored to settlement stands the best
chance to acquire title to the same.
The number of available claims is very
limited, and the land seekers are so
that many legal entangle-
ments are sure to follow.

HARTMAN MUST
DIVORCE PAC|FICS
Interstate Commerce Commission to
Report Against Him.
His Roads Are Competitors-Unon
Pacific Must Sell Southern Pa.
cific-attorney General Is Advised
That Competition Is Killed Be-
tween Mississippi and Pacific

New York, July 13.-Wall street was
agitated late yesterday by a rumor that
the Interstate Commerce commission,
which has been investigating the Har-
riman control of the Union and South
ern Pacific, will make public its report
within day or two and that it will
recommend a separation of the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads on
the ground that they are competing
lines and that their operation as one
system is against public policy and q
direct violation of the Sherman law.
AT the office of +. III. Hartman the
statement was made that Mr.. Harri-
man had no advance knowledge of the
commissions recommendation and had
received no intimation as to when it
would be made public.
The Wall street story declared that
the commissioners had unanimously
advised the attorney general to begin
an action to force Union Pacific to di-
vest itself of all its Southern Pacific
stock, of which it holds 900, 600 shares.
According TO the report, SO the story
went, the two systems are in direct
from the Mississippi valley
to the Pacific coast and arbitrarily fix
rates in restraint Of trade. The COM
believes, this story continues,
that there is ample law to break up this
1t has been known for several months
that Mr.. Hartman expects that some
attempt will be made to prevent the
Union Pacific from holding the stocks
of competing lines, and it is said that
his lawyers have been at work upon a
plan to enable the Union Pacific to di-
vest itself of these securitieS voluntarily
and thereby prevent long and expensive
litigation, such as occurred in the North
ern Securities fight. 1t is said that Mr..
Harriman's plan is to form a holding.
similar to the Railroad Secur-
tiles company, which he organized sew
eral years ago to hold his Illinois Cen
-ral stock. The legality of this COM,
oany has never been attacked.
