Housekeeping In Japan.

l never could regard housekeeping
seriously in Japan, where the walls
can be put aside by n hand, where
there is no particular furniture to wor-
ry one and where ever the mating can
be laid and lifted without tacks or
nails. But the japanese housekeepers
Of my acquaintance rather resented my
light attitude, assuring me. quite after
the of housekeepers all over
the world, that it is all very hard and
requires much work-oh, very much
work indeed. In order to justify my
self to one housekeeper l drew a com.
parison of her own difficulties and
those of an American woman, but the
American picture seemed to her so ter.
rible and she became so deeply sym
pathetic that | had to stop short to
save her NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

"Dressmakers ana milliners require
mirrors of all sorts. They need, for ex-
ample, a miro" that makes one look
taller and thinner. When they dress
a fat, short patron in one of their new
hats or suits they lead her to this mir
ror, and she is so surprised and pleased
with the change for the better in her
looks that straight off she buys.
"For masseurs l make a mirror that,
like a retouched photograph, hides
blemishes. wrinkles, scars. The mas
seur takes the wrinkled face Of some
rich old woman, steams it, thumps 1t,
pinches it and smacks 1t for an hour
and then holds up to 1t the mirror that
gives a blurred, blemish hiding reflec-

are gone and is happy till she gets
home to her own true mirror.

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
Most Highly Priced Of the Surviving
Orders of Chivalry.

Orders OF SnlVHIry.
OF all the orders of medieval chival-
nv which have survived the shock of
successive revolutions on the continent
of Europe since the great cataclysm Of
1850 that Of the Golden Fleece Is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages Of
royal birth or of illustrious patrician
lineage.
The badge of the order is a figure Of
a sheep in embossed gold suspended
from a heavy chain of gold. The full
robes consist of a long mantle Of Grim
son velvet cut in the fashion Of a sac
erdotal cope, richly embroidered at
the borders with emblematic devices of
stars, half moons and fleeces Of gold
and lined with white satin, over a
doublet and hose Of crimson damask.
The full robe also comprise a CHAP
eron," or hood, with a long, flowing
streamer of black satin, but this head
gear has in modern times been general
ly dispensed with.
Originally the robes of the order,
which was founded in 1920 by Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy, were Of
crimson cloth lined with white lambs
wool, and this circumstance has some
what strengthened the theory that the
Golden Fleece was Instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition of the
immense treasures which the Duke of
Burgundy had acquired from the wool
of the focks reared on his vast estates
in Flanders. Be it as it may, the wool
en- costume was changed in 1473 at a
| chapter held in ValencienneS for the
more costly materials of velvet, ~taffeta,
damask and golden embroidery.-Lon-

MICHIGAN GOVERNOR ISSUES A
STATEMENT ON REPUBLICAN
SENATORIAL FIGHT.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 3.-Following a
report from Lansing that a comblna-
ton had been effected between Ar
thur Hill of Saginaw, M Of the four
Republican candidates for United
States senator, and State Railroad
Commissioner r. w. Atwood, a prom
inent Republican leader, Governor
Fred NJ. Warner, who is sick in bed
at his home in Pennington, issued a
signed statement declaring that he is
now u~nalterably opposed to the cleo.
ton of Mr.. Hill. The governor in his
statement says:
For some time there have been
rumors, some of which at least de-
serve careful investigation before they
are dismissed, that there have been
improper methods used in advancing
his candidacy.
II have heard more Of these rumors
from Mr.. Atwood than from any other
person. | believe the people of this
state would, If given an opportunity,
unite with me in my desire to rebuke
such alleged methods.
Il cannot understand why Mr.. At
wood can be for Mr.. Hill when at his
last interview with me, less than a
week ago, he emphatically and I'M
qualiiedly stated to me that the meth
DDS employed to advance MI. HtlPs
candidacy had been such that he could
not support him under any circum-
stances. And at that time he agreed
to stand with me in my opposition to
such methods.
Il have heard nothing since that
time to change my mind or that should
change the mind of Mr.. Atwood"

FRED WALTERS AT BAKER CITY
Contemplates Putting In a FIGURING
Mil There.

Yesterday Fred Walters Of Pen
dleton, accompanied by his son Fred,
jr., spent the day in Baker City and
vicinity looking over the possibilities
for a FIGURING mill at this point, says
the Herald OF Baker City.
Mr.. Walters owns the Farmers GUS
tom mills of Pendieton, an institution
of 500 barrels capacity. He is a thor
ough mill man and has made a sue
cess of the business and is wealthy.
The two principal points to consider
in the establishing of a mill, accord
ing to Mr.. Walters, are the power
and the quantity of wheat obtainahle.
Mr.. w. f, Watson of the Baker Ir-
rigation company drove Mr.. Walters
and son over the valley, showing them
the different sections of the country
and what is produced. 1t is a fact
that at present. there is probably not
| enough wheat grown here to insure a
mill steady business the year around
but men who are prominent in affair,
and know whereof they speak, stale
II the farmers had positive assurance
of mill, next yea would fi:id \
much larger acreage OF wheat in the
| valley.
A good thing for the farmers TO dc
is to hold meeting, or in some man
ner ascertain how many will pledg'
certain acreage uf wheat for mex
year. It requires $4,000 bushels t.
run a 10O-barrel mill for one year Ot
course the mills already establishe
at Rock Creek and North Powder art
to be reckoned with as their suppl.
of grain must come to great eSten
from the same localities which woul,
furnish n mill at Baker City.
Mr.. Walters and son returne,
homo nle"sed with raker City, en-
couraged by the loyal attitude of tn
business men whom they met, an,
with determination to further in
vestigate the situation here.

WHAT CLEWST THINKS
EXPRESSED IN HIS WEEKLY
LETTER FROM WALL STREET.
The Damage" Is the Direct Result
OF the Vaccinations and Misdoings
of High Financiers-Fines Not Suf-
ficient: Imprisonment OF Eminent
Money Makers Necessary-All
Good Citizens Should Rally to Ad-
minlstration's Support.

New York, Aug. 24.-The shrlnkage
In Wall street values has already ex-
ceeded $4,000, 100000 This is largely
due, not to President Roosevelt's poll
cy or his actions in connection with
corporations; for similar disturbances
have taken place in London and else
where. English Consols, for instance,
are lower today than they have been
in the history Of the nation.
AS a matter of fact, we have hae
in this country too much prosperity
for several years, causing an overdo-
| ing in all channels of work, construc-
tion and speculation. In other words,
there has been too much business for
capital, credit and transportation.
Values had become inflated, and in
the meantime there were many evil
dences Of corporate dishonesty which
shocked confidence by the revelations
that cropped out from time to time.
Mr.. Roosevelts policy has been
forced upon him by these develop
ments. While the penalty now being
paid may be bitter for the excesses
that have taken place, the situation
will be a sounder one in the end and
all interests will be established on a
more conservative basis. Great pros
perity has forced upon corporations a
larger amount of business than they
had the ability to handle; hence the
flooding Of the market with securities
to obtain the means to meet the emer-
gency and the excessive issues from
that source. 1t is plain to be seen
therefore, that those who blame Mr.
Roosevelt for all our troubles are ir
error. Actual conditions have beer
mainly responsible. We have beer
confronted with conditions, not the
cries.
There has been great misunder'
standing and much exaggeration as tC
the intentions of the government Of
ficials. All that they propose to do
as far as can be ascertained, is tt
compel great corporations to respec
the law in the same manner as tn,
humblest citizen. When public
hysteria has subsided, the effect o
past agitation and present action will
result in higher standards Of corpor
ate management and a keener sens,
of honor and responsibility. Let th'
stockholders of the various corpora
tons join hands in demanding tn
punishment of the guilty individual
without causing the suffering of in
nocent investors and Mr.. Roosevelt
, will accept them as allies in his worl
of reform.
Big money fines punish the limo

cent stockholders and depreciate val
ues, since they threaten confiscation;
while imprisonment OF the guilty
would enhance values, lift our nation
al reputation to higher plane, put
our securities on a more reliable and
honest basis and restore confidence at
home and abroad.
The monetary situation, though far
from being satisfactory, is gradually
Improving. No doubt liquidation has
enforced sufficient contraction in
loans to materially strengthen the
banks and enable the latter to finance
the crop and the large business de-
mands of the interior. All accounts
from the interior are encouraging.
AS a result of average crops and
profitable prices, there is every pros
pect of good market this fall for
all staple products, even If the strin-
gency of the money market should
enforce a curtailment of new enter
prises and speculative operations.
The credit situation just now is one
that calls for calm judgment. A
wave of hysteria has passed over the
street that should be overcome and
beaten down. The country is not on
the verge of ruin. II is suffering from
various excesses and needs a period
of diminished activity for recupera-
tion. The liquidation cure is painful
but inevitable, and when complete
the patient should come out of Its
present state in good health. Those
who control the purse strings should
be calm and self-poised,, giving as
sistance when needed to concerns OF
proved soundness and earning capaci-
ty and rigidly withholding it from
those which are unstable and unduly
speculative.
The stock market is still in an un'
settled condition. II shows fair raj
lying powers; but 1t is evident tina
liquidation is incomplete, and those
who are able to purchase good stocks
outright will undoubtedly be able t.
pick them up at prices that will yielC
good profits to the permanent hold
ers. on all marginal transactions w
advise great caution.
