Just New Machines, That's All,

Oregon has been commended all over
the country on account of her new
models of government She is dis
cussed in favorable terms, and her
people applauded as typical of en-
lightenment and progress. Abroad,
it is understood that she has solved
the problem of bosses and machine
methods by throwing such excrescen-
ces overheard, says the Oregon Jour-
nal.
They may have busted" some ma
chimes and put some bosses" out of
business over there but they still have
some machines and some BOSSES -
Jack Mathews may possibly be a
back number but there are others. Mr..
Bourne's machine cost him something
but it served him well. OF course the
state did not have to pay for it, di-
rectly, but he got there just the same.
There seems to be some of the old
wheels working in the machine yet
and Judge Stephen A. Lowell. one of
the best and ablest men in the state,
apparently thinks Charlie Fulton has
them well enough oiled to keep them
in running order.

NORTH COAST GROWS ACTIVE
ENGINEERING STAFF GETS BUSY
AND IMPORTANT ANNOUNCE.
MENT EXPECTED,

Great activity is prevailing among
the engineering staff of the North
Coast railway, leading to the expec-
tation that President Strahorn will
nave an important announcement to
make in a few days with reference to
the plans of the corporation
1t doesn't make any difference to
the people of the Inland Empire who
is backing the North Coast so long
as 1t is competitor of the Northern
Pacific. For some time, however. the
North Coast people have been no.
tlceably inactive, and this fact gave
rise to considerable doubt as to the
stability Of the project Recent activ-
ity in the camps and the fact that
North Coast engineers have lately
been inspecting the line of the Ia
coma Eastern lends different view
to the situation.

When taken in charge by officials
there, the woman told a sad tale of
abuse at the hands of said Kirby,
which she followed with the statement
that she wanted him to be compelled
to marry her.
She claimed she had given Kirby
money and has been good to him, but
that he repaid her kindness with
abuse. She wanted a warrant sworn
out for Kirby's arrest.

YOUNG HEROINE
SAVES HER AUNT
GlRD RES
CUES MRS. RICkEY AFTER
CANOE TURNS OVER.

In a most sensational and daring
manner in which she displayed unus-
ual courage and presence of mind, Jes-
sic Headley, Is years old, saved her
aged aunt from drowning in the Will
lamette river just shortly after noon
Yesterday The girl with her aunt was
bringing her fathers lunch to him in
a canoe from the east side of the river
where they are living to where he was
working in the South Portland ship
yards. When little more than half way
across the river the canoe suddenly
turned over throwing both occupants
into the river.
Workmen repairing the Bailey Cat
zert at the South Portland shipyards,
were louLging and eating their lunch.
They watched the girl padding the
canoe evenly across the water as she
has done for many weeks. They were
suddenly Mortified to see the canoe
turn over swiftly about II or Is yards
from the shore and the next instant
see its occupants struggling in the
water. Quickly running for boats the
crew manned four small rowbOats and
put out into the river to rescue the
girl and her aunt.
Miss Headley, fortunately, is a very
good swimmer, but her aged aunt
cannot swim. When the boat turned
over the aunt came up the first time
under the boat. Before the girl could
move the canoe out of the way and
turn it upright her aunt went down
for the third time, but, seeing her dis
appear under water, the brave girl
dived for the rapidly sinking form,
grabbed it by the hair and brought it
to the surface where she held it above
water until the boats arrived from the
shore
Mrs. Hickey was soon resuscitated
and able to go back across the river,
two of the men volunteering to row
the aunt and her heroine niece back to
home and dryness across the river
IL, speaking of the incident after
Headley showed considerable more
presence of mind than many men
would in the same predicament Mr..
Headley was very proud of his laugh
ter.
Mrs Hickey not being used to canoes
undertook to assist the girl with an
extra paddle and in her enthusiasm
turned the boat over. She did Lot re-
ailze how easy it was done until she
found herself strangling in the water

The Limit Of Life,

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion. that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period. that
determines its duration, seems to be
between so and 60; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures
best relper after so is Electric Bitters
the scientific tonic medicine that re-
vltal1zes every organ of the body.

help her, but she continued to grow
worse. Her body was a mass of sores.

before | had uced half of the cake Of

all healed, and my little ones face and

Something of a SpirituaIist.

THE words of one medicine song
are Standing, l fly all around the
world This l should think, means that
his spirit is capable of going wherever
it wishes, or that his spirit is capable
of seeing the whole world.
Another religious song, which is a
prayer, is, Father make me see buff
faloes.'
'Buffaloes were probably this Indians
medicine, that is he felt toward them
much the same as people today do to-
ward a patron saint. Certain religious
ceremonies had made this animal sa-
cred to him, he could not kill it eX-
cept in self defense or instances OF ex-
IRENE necessity. The object of the In
dian in seeing a vision of buffaloes was
that he thought thereby he would gain
some kind of wisdom.

Hunter Did Not Return.

Another song sung at a scalp dance
be boasting of killing an enemy con-
sisted of the sentence, "A buffalo hunt
er didn't come home and his wife
is going around crying" This would
be sung while a party of dancers were
dancing about a pole held by woman
and one which was the scalp of the
singers victim.
The religion of the Sioux was at
one time very complex. The Sioux
saw spirits in everything about him.
Also he considered his diety too sacred
to speak to direct, but would pray to
the spirits of trees, of the thunder and
other things. He was at that time
highly religious and his religion was
of a h order for a savage, though
of course in many instances it de-
generated into ridiculous superstitions
AT that time, the medicine man had
a powerful hold on the people and to
increase this, they would often word
their medicine songs in a strange and
mysterious manner so that it was hard
in many instances to get any
meaning from them. l have
number of songs, the meaning of
which 1 do not know, though 1 can

Sonos Have No Words.


There is not much to say about tie
songs of the Montana Indians as there
are no words to them. Of the 40 Flat
head and Kootenaii songs | have, only
two have words. These are love songs.
1T is a peculiar fact that in ancient
times, the Sioux Songs had no words.
"A peculiar custom which prevails
with the Indians is that if an Indian
girl speaks to a man, that man has
the right to. go about the village, sing
ing the words she spoke to him, and
for that reason, Indian girls are careful
of what they say and in fact do not say
much of anything.
Not Romantic.
1t was suggested that perhaps this
was not such a bad idea for a savage
and might even be termed romantic by
a romance crank.
NO" replied Mr.. Fischer, mot ex-
actly romantic. l have heard some OF
the things sung that the girls had said.
No. they were not at all romantic ex-
pressjons.
Prof. Fischer was in the employ of
F. s. Curtice of Seattle, who is now

lures and studying their lives and his

OLD NEW ENGLAND MORALITY.
The Place to Find Revival of the Bluc
 Laws Is in the south.

The Place to Find a Revival of the Blue
 Laws Is in the SOuth
 For rigid political morality sugges- tive of old-time New England one must go south. One after another the New England States have tried prohibition in the shape of statewide laws, and finding the experiment failure, all have given it up, save Maine, where it still stands, but with great and grow ing disfayor. Meanwhile prohibition in the shape of local option is rapidly cov- ering the South, and governors of States and many other influential cit izens, in and out of office, are teetotal- CTS. There is a more general preva- lence of extreme temperance sentiment of total abstinence sentiment in the south to-day than anywhere else in the country. In the east, north and west, as in the south, there is much less of drunkenness than there was only a few years ago; but outside of the south there has been a great decrease of up- position to well-regulated drinking sa- looms.
 One must go south, too to find the intensest feeling against gambling. The Post recently made mention of a new antigambling law in Mississippi, and expressed doubt of the ability of the police and courts to enforce all the drastic provisions of the act. But there is to be an effort in that direc- tion. A telegram to the Post of last Sunday from Yazoo stated that Judge Miller, having ordered an investigation of recent card functions held at pri- vate residences and at clubrooms, has announced that indictments have been returned against several prominent persons. As a result, there was q wholesale exodus to-day on early trains many women being among those who left. Prizes, it is said, figured in each indictment returned. Judge Mil Ter, it is claimed had pointed out the State law against card competition for trophies, money, or other spells, wheth- CT at social or gambling functions" It is understood that in other Mis- sissippi cities and towns similar pro- ceedings are to be inaugurated. The heinous sin of playing at progressive euchre for amusement and offering a china vase as a prize "just to make it interesting must be stamped out! Morality must and shall be preserved! l Washington Post.

FOR GENERAL sEDGwICK.
sixth Army Corps Urge the Monument
 at Gcttesburg.

The project for having this State put up at Gettysburg monument for General Sedgwick, for which resolu tions were introduced at this session of the Legislature, has met more cordial endorsement from his former army as sociates. It will be remembered that Professor Hines of Pennsylvania col lege at Gettysburg suggested this step in letter published in The Courant" a while ago. As a result of that let ter Professor Hines was invited to at tend the recent reunion of the Army of the Potomac at Washington and the Sixth corps made him an honorary member and appointed him secretary of committee to aid tho movement. The committee are General Alexander Shaler General Newton M. Curtis, now president of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, Colonel Andrew Cow an of Louisville, Ky, J. Weed Corey Professor Hines and others to be ap- pointed. They send word that, if it will be helpful they will come from their far-off homes to urge the monument. The members of the Sixth corps adopt ed the following resolution at their meeting:
 Whereas, since the States of Penn sylvania and New York have erected on the Battlefield of Gettysburg mag nificent equestrian statutes. of Generals Meade, Reynolds, Hancock and Slocum.
 Resolved, That the Society of the Sixth corps of the Army of the Poto- mac recognizes with pleasure and strong approval the movement in the Legislature of Connecticut to erect on the same field a similar statue of Major General John sedgwick, the modest, layol, efficient and much loved com mander of the Sixth corps, and respect fully and earnestly urges that the plan may be carried forward 10 early com pletion.
