this way. l am here to learn how your
manager is doing in regard to the mat
ter and am well pleased with the point
ers Mr. Bernard has given me. He evil
IDENTIFY understands the business thor

I'VE have solved our transportation
problem by hiring II big wagons which
will transport the crowd for five cents
each way, which lis 20 cents cheaper
than the prices charged last year by
cabmen.

attractions than it ever has before I
like your outlook here and your city
can't be surpassed

WILL SHAKE UP
LAND OFFICE
COMMISSIONER BALLINGER WILL
START HOUSE CLEANING FROM
WASHINGTON.

Seattle Wash, Aug. 22.-R. A. Ball.
lhger, commissioner of the general
land office, left yesterday for Wash
ington after a Coast tour of land Of
fees and a vacation of more than tive
months. He will Immediately give the
general land office another shaking ur
and expects to complete the reorganiz
alton of the department before con-
gress convenes.
This probably means another whole
sale reassignment of clerks and prob
ably as many dismissals from the SER
vice as greeted Commissioner Balling-
ers introduction into the office early
this year. More of the red tape is to
be abolished and more of modern
methods will displace precedents es-
tablished when the land office was
since.
Ballingers law partners expect him
to resign and return to Seattle before
the end OF winter. Bdllinger himself
said that he had not fixed a
definite date for resigning from
land Office, Duc nopeL To De able to
leave " ashingtOn cary in the coming
year. He will remain, however, unit!
he completes the reorganization Of the
general land office and secures con-
gressional action on his recommended
tions.
The most important of the Ii
commissioners recommendations will
be an insistence upon amending the
act limiting the purchase of coal lane
to 16O acres. Ballinger insists that the
government should sell it's coal lands
in lots of from 1000 to 1000 acres
apiece, the increased acreage being
necessary to permit the development
of coal properties in the west.
In all probability the commissions,
will recommend the creation of ldnt
courts to Supplant the present lanr
office organization. The recommended
ton depneds upon the attitude of the
secretary of the interior and the feel
ing in congress, which might prevent
q change in the present policy. \
greater appropriation foE land office
work and an increase in the forces
at many offices will be urged.

COMPANIES ARE .

Refuse to Meet President d
Te|egraphePs Union

Both sides still claim the victory
still claim the men are coming back in
increasing numbers. The men claim
the situation for the companies is
steadily becoming worse. President
is doing but 25 per cent of it's regu-
lar business and that Is per cent of
that is being done by mail. On the
other hand. the companies claim they
are handling their business easier
every day and that the end is plainly
in sight.
York is thought to have some bearing
On the situation. However, the gener-
al superintendent of the Western
Union says he has nothing to say to
unions president under any conditions.
The Postal company considers it's
situation so strong that every man who
returns to his work on the Postal key

They can get men easily, they say. and
they want none they have to be afraid
of. The contract reads as follows:

individual application for work. The
company is making no overtures to-
wards the men, .>but say they are re-
turning steadily of their own accord.
The local situation improves steadily
and messages are being sent and re-
ceived regularly. The news service of
all the local papers is improving
steadily and commercial messages are
being sent with greater regularity The
trouble from strike sympathizers who
were tapping and grounding the wires
has decreased much and except for
the shortage of men, little trouble is
being experienced today, say the Off
cials of the company.

HARD LINES FOR

SELF SHAvERS MAY HAVE TO
SWAP HAIR CUTS WHILE BALD
PATES LAUGH.

Now will the men with the Paderew-
ski head covering be good. The bald
headed man today is taking a lOLg,
loud laugh all by himself on the other
fellow and the orker looks sadly sor-
rowful and grievously grouchy. H.

hirsute covering of c. the pho

This is it. Word has beer. sent out
from the head push of the BARRIERS
union at New York that hereafter in
Gotham, any man who wishes to shave
himself with or without a safety razor
or old fashioned hoe, will have to do
his own hair cutting. 1t is a straight
out, double trussed and nickle plated
boycott on the economical man who
pulls out hissSwn crop of stubble twice
or three times a week.
What is worrying the local semi
patrons of the barber shops is that the
circular advises that all shops through
out the country do the same Similar
action was taken at the last meeting
of the New York State BARRIERS asso-
citation and the Empire tonsor:al ar
e.I, do
likewise.
The cause for the order is that the
barber business is being sadly injured
through the Vaccinations of the
safety razor They want it abolished
and in the near future the man who
shovels onto his face a scoopful of
homemade lather and hoes it off with
a spring tooth drag like these new
tangled face scrapers, may be barred
from the good BARRIERS chair.
No man will be allowed in a chair
until he has been examined with a
microscope for the official union mark
in the corner of the ear. One shop in
town has adopted a smooth crop of
Another uses a slit in the left and two
stars in the right. Imagine the looks
of travelling man when he has pat
roniZed union shops in a dozen differ
ent cities. A movement will be set on
foot at once to make a uniform
marking, even if one whole ear has to
be parted with, it will be better than
going around with an ear through
which drinking water could be
strained
If man comes up without the union
mark, or marks, he will be adjudged to
be a self shaver and the local hair
hackers and chinchilla choppers will
summarily shove him out of the shop,

Communication.

St. Johns, Oregon, March 2,
i9o7-To the Editor:--In your
issue of Yesterday notice that you
stated that the mayor cut short
the remarks Of Attorney Perkins" I"
The wording you gave to the article
would lead one to infer that l was
averse to having any facts pertain
ing to the new charter made public
or else that my actions were
unfair to Mr.. Perkins. The facts
are that the time Of the meeting Of
the council had been somewhat
extended, that the matter had been
very thoroughly discussed, and that
the article which it was proposed
to read was not the bill as 1t was to
become the law. Nothing could
have been gained in the way Of
information regarding the bill in
question by reading the document
Mr. Perkins had, as there had been
many amendments; and it might
have confused the general mind to
listen to one bill and then act upon
another.
There was no desire upon my
part to cut Mr.. Perkins short for
the purpose Of suppressing any
genuine information, but believed
il best to wait for the correct bill
as it became law and thus prevent
all bother. p. w. Human, Mayor.

STORIES OF DR.. HOLMES.
A Young Wo'osn Who Didnt Like H's
literary Taste.

1FtS'c'
The story is recalled of young
Virginia country girl dining in Bos-
ton some years ago, in the days
when DR.. Holmes went to dinners.
Seated next to her was homely
little old gentleman whose name
she did not catch. He began to talk
with her and asked her how she
passed her time in the country.
"Oh, we read, my father and J."
she said.
"And what do you read? asked
the little man.
"Well, the 'Autocrat Of the
Breakfast Table for one thing"
she answered.
81 should think you would not
care to read that more than once,'
remarked the little old man, with a
sign of disappointment in his tones.
"My father and / may not be
judges Of literature" said Miss Vir-
ginia airily and with a faint accent
Of scorn, "but when we get to the
end Of the 'Autocrat' we generally
turn back to the beginning and
read il over again"
The little old man smiled at this
and was disposed to be friendly, but
Miss Virginia was so displeascd with
his tone concerning the "Autocrat"
that she met him with chilly indif-
ference.
As soon as the guests went into
the drawing room her hostess whis-
percd reproachfully to her:
"You didn't seem to find DR..
Holmes as interesting as | hoped"
"Dr. Holmesw shricked Miss vir-
ginia. There was n tablcau and an
explanation.
Another story Of Holmes wit ia
told. One day old DR.. Peabody was
to meet him at u certain place.
The venerable professor rode in
carriage. When he got there he
was met by Holmes, who had walk
cd. Near by vas n statue OF Euryd-
ice. And Holmes said:
"Ah, you ride, sce"
Capital, capital" cried Peabody.
That night he went back home
and said to his wife:
"llolmes got oil good joke to-
day"
His wife asked him what IL was.
"Why, l was TO meet him down
at the statue Of Eurydice, and when
! arrived he said quite happily, '0h,
you came in carriagep"
And then the genial professor
wondered why his wife didn't laugh.
