Wretched Mnil Service.

Sclo now has the most wretched
mail service she has had for the past
fifteen years. This Is not all due TO
the railway mail service, for railway
trains don't pay much attention to
schedules, seemingly. True, we are
supposed to have a daily train to
Woodburn and return, connecting
with the Cottage Grove local, but
while the train starts out on time
morning It seldom returns on
time evenings, often being two and
three hours late. This h'ings the
mail to Scio any time from p. m.
to midnight, which of course, makes
the mail n day late. Mail that Is
brought over from Albany mornings
on the c. & Il. is very often taken to
the front and then delivered upon
the return in the evenings.
We dislike making a kick but of
late mail matters have become en-
tirely too fierce. Incompetency, or
carelessness, on tbe part of mail
agents on the railroads and postal
clerks in postofflces is becoming
much too common. All of them
need a shaking up, or n good, Ions
indefinite rest, one or the other

GIRLS
ADVERTISE

One of the strictly modern meth
DDS of procuring correspondents who
may develop into matrimonial possi-
bilities has been adopted by the girls
who work in the eastern packing
houses. Today while calling at the
commission firm of Blackburn &
Breck a ham was unwrapped in the
presence of "A Herald reporter and
inside the wrapper a neatly written
name and adress was tucked away,
with the question, please won't you
correspond" written plainly unde:
the name, Upon inquiry II was found
that a number of hams have lately
contained names of young ladies
who desire the correspondence of a
real man.
1t is presumed that the ladies who
toll hard in the packing houses of
the east, in their desire to get in
Communication with a man, have re-
sorted to this method which might
not be considered just according to
the Ladies Home Journals idea OF
dignity and propriety, Possibly the
girls know that in Baker City there
is an over supply of old bachelors
and widowers who need the tender
care of a girl who can fry meat and
sew on buttons; they possibly have
heard of the splendid appearance of
the men here and the robust physical
condition which some claim has been
brought about by the air of certain
receipes for cooking original with
Baker City cooks. With all this gilt
tering knowledge of the male ele-
ment of this community Il is but
natural for the young and tender
misses of the larger cities to forget
for a moment their early training and
offer their names and address to the
public, with the hope that the ham
OF meat might be purchased by some
graduate of Yale who has come west
TO seek his fortune in the mines. It
is easy to figure that the young lady
can imagine her destined-to-be help
mate is away out in the mountains
by himself prospecting for the hidden
treasurers, and thinking OF home and
former social ties he might while
cutting a little ham for his frugal
breakfast find the address written In
a feminine hand. She can also mag
Inc the effect II would have on him
and hight, yes It might be the cause
OF his seeking a little girl to share
his mountain life until the pocket of
gold was struck, then they would
move to some large city where they
could have an automobile, a large
home and plenty of servants. Think
of how thrilled the little miss must
have been when she slyly tucked her
name and address into the wrapping
of the ham with all the fairy-like
visions running through her mind.
Blackburn & Breck have no In
tention OF pushing this feature as
they are not In the matrimonial
agency business However, II their
wares contain such possibilities II
may cause an inceased trade in their
goods. II is not out of reason to ex-
pect some weatherbeaten man who
has not known the loving, tender
ways of a woman for 10, these many
years to ask his grocer for a ham
with a name in it.-Baker City Her

DuMA IS ABOLISHED.
EMPEROR NICHOLAS AFFlxES
SIGNATURE TO uKASE.
PLEADS LAW OF NECESSITY
Holds II Impossible to Secure a Par
lament Capable Of Rescuing
Russia from Anarchy.

st. Petersburg, June 16.-Emperor
Nicholas affixed his signature this
morning to an imperial ukase abol-
fishing the present duma and order
ing that the elections of members to
Its successor, which Is to meet Nov.
IA, be held under the new election
law which provides against the SUBJ
mergence of the educated classes by
the uneducated masses.
This act constitutes virtual coup
d'etat and overrides the specific pro-
visions of the fundamental laws Of
the realm, solemnly proclaimed by
his majesty on the eve OF the conyo-
cation OF the first duma, which de-
clares that the electoral law could
never be changed without the consent
of parliament itself.
This breach of the constitution Is
justified by the great law of necessity
the advisers holding 1t impossible,
under present conditions, to secure a
parliament capable of cooperating
harmoniusly with the crown to rescue
Russia from anarchy and revolution.

the weavers themselves, but by special
dyers.
More than 5000 female weaver7 are
employed at Uschak in the prepare
ton OF carpets. The operators are
generally members of the same family,
but there are number of girls who
earn about six to seven cents per day.
The Ghiardis carpets are generally
smaller than those of Uschak. Very
fine prayer carpets, closely woven and
of harmonious colors, are produced In
imitation OF the Persian carpets.
Carpets are made into bales of 2SO
pounds each and covered with goat
skins. The caravans pass the night In
the open country at the foot of some
hill, the drivers under tents and the
camels and their loads in the open air.
Very large carpets, too heavy to be
packed, are folded and thrown across
the backs of the camels in the form OF
a covering. When the carpets arrive
in Smyrna they are spread out. beaten,
broomed and repacked in bales weigh.

TO KEEP WHEAT AT DOLLAR.
Four Hundred Delegates at Omaha
Decide to Hold Crops.

Omaha, June leone dollar shall

President j. A. Everett OF Indianapo-
lis, head OF the American Society of
Equity, when he called to order near
ly 400 enthusiastic delegates for the
purpose Of Matchmaking TIP grain
growers organization. Less than halt
this number had been expected and
when the delegates were joined by
200 Nebraska grain men they looked
ready to make deliveries on their con-
tracts.
every delegate to the body" de-
clared Mr.. Everett, has paid his rail
road fare and many OF them are here
from as far East as the Atlantic
coast. There Is no politics in this
gathering, but when II adjourns ac-
ton will have been taken that will
insure to the grain raiser of this
county voice In making the prices
they shall receive for their products"
One OF the important objects Of the
meeting Is to secure control of the
1907 wheat crop. 1t Is realized that
quick work will be necessary and the
association will make substantial
appropriation to place a large number
OF agents In the field to stop the sale
OF wheat by farmers to an extent that
will reduce the visible supply to
point low enough to keep the price
at or above the dollar mark.
James A. Kemper Of Virginia, who
is member of the executive board
OF the society, made a brief address
at the afternoon session, during the
course OF which he outlined the pro-
gramme to corner the market to this
extent Mr.. KempeE says the organi-
cation will have plenty of money be-
hind II to carry out the plan.
Asked II such an organization with
bylaws such as are proposed would
not be subject to prosecution under
the provisions of the antitrust law,
President Everett declared there
would be nothing in its constitution
to show that II was trust
Everybody is organizing to, protect
their particular line of business" said
Mr.. Everett. "Why not the farmer?
The American Society of Equity is
now In position to secure loans that
will help the farmers to carry their
crop until such time as they can get
living price for the grains. We will
not stop at grains; we shall use the
same methods to secure top prices
for dairy and other products. We
are receiving the support of farmers
