CO1rID WORK IN WALLA WALLA.

In the following letter which appeared
in The Sunday Oregonian speaks for
itself, and if the allegations therein
contained are true, it furnishes
themes for mary sermons by every
preacher in the Rose City. In fact 1t
contains a sermon in itself, and APP
parently reveals a condition of affairs
cerating a crying need for an organ
ization which might accomplish even
vastly more for the good of humanity
than The anti-saloor league, which is
bringing results in Oregon and o.her
states:
PORTLAND, Nov 9.-(To the
Editor)-I should like to call the at
tention of the business men in Port
land to a condition which l am sure
will interest as well as surprise
great many. 1t is that of the woman
who unfortunately is obliged to be
selfsuppOrting and equally unfortu-
nate to be proposing in appearance.
There is a certain class of men
here who only offer positions condi-
tionally, particularly if the applicant
happens to "loog good" to them, as
great many express themselves.
For the past seven weeks I have
advertised and answered numerous
advertisements, but as 1 was not will
ing to accept a position conditional
ly' or permit any familiarity l have
positively been unable to secure any
thing in my line of work
Il am a stenographer, fairly good,
With the advantage of an excellent
education. / have frequently offered
my services most reasonably, provid-
ing hat | be allowed to attend strictly
to my Office duties, but UP to the pres
ent time it has been of no avail. =
Although l have lived in Portland
only short time. and have very few
acquaintances. l am sure there are a
great many conscien ious business
men who require the services of a
stenographer, so should like to take
this method. if you will permit me, to
make my wants known.
IF there is anyone in need OF
stenogra pher who is willing to devote
her entire time to her employers in
terest, at a moderate salary, l should
be very grateful for the position. Very
respectfully. r. B. F."

THE TIME AND THE MAN.

AMI iiAiI -'A~h~''
President Roosevelt will relieve the
west. whose money is locked up IN the
east by plungers, operators and spec
ulators. and by the banks which they
control. He will do it by issue of money
from the treasury to western DaIhs'
on the ample securities they are aple
to produce. The east is not merely
hog in this business. 1t is hog ana
woodrat and pirate, with the
characteristics and practices OF all
these.
The desperate gamblers of the east
ern centers are confiscating everything
thew can lay their hands on to save
the remnants of their, plumber. rms
is the reason why no response is MADE
to calls from the west; either on
money loaned or on bills of lading or
any kind of bills. Shipwrecked pirates
are struggling to snatch every plank.
Hence the presidents announcement
that fair play is to be enforced,
through the treasury.-Oregonian

BACK WATTERSON
FOR THE SENAT:

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 11-Henry
Watterson's friends are urging him as
a candidate against Governor ]. c. w.
Beckham for the United States senate.
That there is a strong sentiment
among Kentucky democrats to knife
Beckham there is no doubt Many
hold him responsible for the party's
defeat at the last election. His treat
rnent of Watterson is declared by
politicians to have cost the democrats
20 600 votes.
Though a republican governor was
elected, the legislature remains demo-
cratic on joint ballot and a senator of
that party will be chosen. 1t was at
first taken for granted that Beckham
would be taken but this does not now
appear certain.
The names of former Senators Lind
say and McCreary have been men
toned as we'll as that Of Watterson.

The fifth day of May
Being airy and gay,
And to hyp. not inclined,
Blu. vigorous mind.
And by body in health.
I'll dispose of my wealth.
And all I'm to leave
Or. this side of the grave,
To some one or other,
And l think to my brother.
Because l fOresaw
That my brethren in law,
If / did not take care,
Would come in for a share;
Which l no wise intended
Till their manners were mended.
OF that there's no sign
l do therefore enjoin,
And do strictly command,
Of which, witness my hand.
That naught l have got
Be brought to hotch-pot;
But l give and devise
AS much as in me lies
To the son of my mother,
My own dear brother,
To have and to hold,
All my silver and gold,
Both sutton and potter,
Until the worlds rotten,
AS the affectionate pledges
Of his brother. JOHN HEDGES

In view OF experiences in the past
and the comparative ease by which the
w. G.. T. U. had the canteen abolished.
t it is rather difficult to figure out how
i the Army can hope to win their fight
in the coming session. The very pres
ence Of the w. C. T. U. in Washington
will serve to frignten every timid men,
Der of the House and not a few sena-
| tors, and alta time when they are
about to go into another campaign
these tinid men will prefer to dodge
the issue rather than to incur the
animOsity Of these temperance women
| In spite Of the fact an attempt will
he made to restore the canteen and
the Army will be aided by the Spanish
War Veterans. Walter S. Hale, COM
handkerchief of that organization, in
recent interview on the subject said:
THE restoration of the Army can
teen is absolutely necessary if the
| Government desires to maintain the re-
gular Army al anything like it's maxi
mum strength. l served as a soldier
in the regular Army and know by eX-
perience that the operation of the can
teen was most helpful in maintaining
discipline and contentment among the
men. 1t was benificent in that it made
many of the men contented and dis
couraged them from visiting low
brothels and dives where vile COM
pounds termed as liquor We're dispen-
sed. In the interest of sanitation,
morality and discipline hope Congress
, will follow the recommendations of
practically all of the high. officers of

store the canteen at military posts and

A Phlanthropic Physieian-Who Treats
the Poor Free.

This we'll known physician (former-
ly of Paris, London and New York;
who has achieved a great reputation
throughout the coast, and the north
west. by his wonderful cures, will
shortly favor WaIla Walla with few
weeks visit, commencing next Tues
day, Nov II, and will have his head
quarters at Hotel State, where the af-
f1icted can consult him free, and the
worthy poor receive the benefit of his
wonderful skill without fee or price.
DR.. Darrin comes to us laden with
testimonials from throughout the
whole northwest, and the authenticat-
ed reports of some of his cures seem
nothing short of miraculous. So many
thousands are already acquainted with
him and his mode of treatment it
seems necessary only to say that he
uses little or no medicine in the ma
jority of cases, and perfects his cures
in mysterious manner-a secret
known only to himself, upon which his
remarkable success is founded.

"CRANK" GAINS FREEDOM.
Pierre Man Had Bothered WashingtOa
Officials About an Office.

Dressed in the uniform of the Saliva
ton army Benedict Stuhlmiller, an old
time resident of Pierre, this week
faced the county insanity board and
wept with Joy when it decided that
he was not a subject to be sent to the
ASYLUM. He shook hands with every
one in the room and expressed himself
eas ready to stay in Pierre from this
time on. He was one of the early res
idents of that part of the territory
and was always considered somewhat
off, IN religion, and since the death
of his wife a number Of years ago has
been a persistent searcher for another
mate, asking about every marriage
able woman he met to marry him.
Some time ago he Joined the SALIVA
ton army, and has been working in
Chicago and other eastern cities, and
has all the terms Of the army for use
in his everyday language. He applied,
for a consulate in Cuba, and on re-
ceipt of a letter acknowledging the re-
ceipt of his application decided that
he had been appointed and went to
Washington, where he began to bother
the state department and the presi-
dent with his claims to the place, re-
sulting in his arrest and the bringing
Of him back to his old home, where,
after an investigation, it was decided
that he need not go to the asylum.

MORE LIKE ACCIDENT
LITTLE LEFT FOR MURDER THE

Detectives and States Attorney ADAM
don Theory OF Murder-Dr. Mar
wins View Change Willing to
Accept Verdict OF Accidental Death.

DIR. Horace Marvin is now so far
reconciled TO the theory of an acct
dental death that he will accept with
out further investigation if the coro-
ner's jury shall render such a verdict.
Since the discovery OF the body he
has stoutly maintained the belief that
IT was placed on the marsh only a
day or two before 1t was found by a
kidnaper, who sought in this way to
divert suspicion from the real cause
of the child's disappearance.
81 am forced In spite Of my former
conviction TO the belief in the pos
sibiiity that my boy did wander out
there and die" said DIR. Marvin Mon
day. Until the doctors examined
Horace's body did not think it look
ed as though life had been extinct
more than a few days. But DIR. Will
sons statement that death must have
occurred at least four or five weeks
ago, puts a different aspect upon it..
His discovery also that there was no
food in the poor fellows stomach,
showing that he died more than a day
after he had last eaten, tends to show
that he may have lain out there, be-
numbed by the cold, while we were
hunting all around him.

WAR ON BLIND PIGS"
Officers Make Raid on Place at Town
Of Parker.

OF Parker.
Earl MuldOOn, Ivan HargrOVe and
John H. Halsey, Parker men, made
surreptitiOus entrance into the unOc-
Cupied old Northwestern hotel build
ing on Tuesday evening and promoted
a blind pig therein. Officer DOna-
hoe arrested them on complaint of
Mason Scott who went there and
bought a bottle of beer. The trio were
landed in the county Jail. The next
morning Halsey was brought before
Justice Kendall on the charge of be-
ing drunk and disorderely, and plead
ed guilty to the charge and was fined
IS and costs, which he paid and was
released. The charge against Ivan
Hargove is that of selling liquor ille-
gally, and is a more serious charge.
The charge against MuldoOn was SIM
liar to the one against Halsey.
Deputy United States Marshal Jerry
Carlton took young HargrOVe and
Muldoon over to Sioux Falls for a
hearing before the United States COM
missioner. The charge against Har-
grove was selling intoxicating liquor
without a license. MuldOOn was more
of witness. Verne Palmer and John
Scott went along as witnesses.

ENDS RATE AGREEMENT.
Southern Pacific Ends Relations with
San Pedro Line.


Official information has reached the
interstate commerce commission of
the cancellation of a traffic agree
ment entered into June IS, 1908, be-
tween the Southern Pacific company
and the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake Railroad company.
In the opinion Of the commission
the abrogatiOn Of the agreement is OF
the highest Importance The facts
concerning it were developed at the
recent inquiry into the relations of the
Southern Pacific company with other
corporations. 1t was the opinion Of
several interstate commerce commits
ssonerS that the agreement was in re-
straint of trade and might subject the
officials who entered into it to prose-
cution under the Sherman antitrust
law.
Notification Of the abrogation of
the agreement was received in a letter
from r. S. Lovett, of New York, gem
eral counsel for the Southern Pacific
company. Mr.. Lovett assigns as reason
for the abrogation of the agreement
the enactment by the California legis-
lature OF a law which prohibits con-
tracts restricting competition.

PAY FOR GRAIN ELEVATION
Great Western Road to Allow Three.
Quarters of q Cent.

Announcement was made Saturday
by the Chicago Great Western rail-
road that, beginning May 7, it will
pay Y Of cent per 100 on all grain
handled through elevators at the Mis-
souri, river and shipped via that line.
The payment is to be made to the
owners Of elevators and not to COM
mission firms or owners of the prod
uct. This action is the result of the
recent decision Of the interstate COM
merce commission reducing by so
cents per 100 pounds paid on all grain
handled through the Peavey elevators
by the Union Pacific railway. 1t was
stated in the decision that as the
charge was supposed to pay for the
actual cost of elevation, q of a cent
should be sufficient. Whether other
lines will meet the competition has not
been announced.

MYsTxRY TO REMAIN.
No Solution of Death OF Horace
Marvin


''Horance N. Marvin, Jr., died
March 4. 1907, aged years and 10
months"
This simple inscription was Sunday
placed upon the casket of the little
son of DIR. Fl. n. Marvin, who disap-
peared from his home near Dover,
Delaware, just two months ago.
Later in the day funeral services
were conducted in the parlor of the
Marvin home by the Rev. II. B. Kelso,
Of the Methodist Episcopal church,
snd afterwards temporary burial was
made on a lawn of the Bay Meadows
farm. Later the body will be removed
to Sioux City, Ia.
Immediately upon the finding the
body Saturday the machinery OF the
state and county was started to dis
cover the cause Of death if possible.
Accidental death with peculiar sur
rounding circumstances probably will
be the verdict. Coroner Joseph Cal
ioway imPaneled a jury and testimony
was taken.
Fully 500 farmers and others
swarmed around the small building,
anxious to look at the features OF the
little boy. The face was hardly rec
ognizable from the familiar portrait
with which the country was flooded
Tor it was much swollen.

killed at Willows, Cal, Monday after
a running fight with a posse of off,
GERS has been identified as Count Otto
Won Valdstein, Of Austria, a scion of
a noble family of history, nephew to
a cardinal and to Prince Wurtemburg,
one of the richest men in Franz Jo-
seph's empire.
The Identification was made at
willows by Miss Mary Fitzgerald, Of
San Francisco, who knew him we'll,
after the body of the young nobleman
had been exhumed from the potter's
field.
Count Otto died fighting, believing
he was attacked by band Of robbers.
The posse thought it had run down
Smith, the murderer Of John Marco
Vich, of Oakland.
Otto left Austria six years ago be-
cause Of love affair. He fought
through the Boer war; He wandered
to America, a poor man, without a
profession, to work with his hands for
existence. He quit a job in Placer
county the day before his death and

SHEEP HERDING RUINS MIND.
Strange Case of a 14-Ycar-Cld Dakota
BOY

Only IA years old, and insane from
seep herding; believing that he is a
sheep and is being chased and hunted,
is the plight of a son of Joseph JUpi-
ter, a sheep owner, whose ranch is.
about sixty miles northwest of Fort
Pierre. The boy left home with the
terror of pursuit and walked or ran
all the way to Fort Pierre, where he
was taken charge of. His father MISS
ed him short time after he left home
and started to hunt him up, finally
tracing him to Fort Pierre, where he
arrived some time after the son had
been taken care of. A hearing Of the
county insanity board will be held in
the case, with the chances in favor Of
the child being sent to the insane asy-
lum. Insanity is a fate which often
oVertakes the herders who ere out
alone with sheep for long time out
it has never before been known to af-
feet one so young as in this case.

PRISONERS IN IRONS.
Police OF Nicaraguan Town Taken by
Americans


The chief Of police and several po-
licemen of Puerto Cortez are in irons,
aboard the American gunboat Padu-
cab, charged with murderous assault,
and face a trial by courtmartial and
possible hanging from the yardarm
Of the Paducah. They were arrested
on orders issued by Commander Full
lam, Of the Marietta, for attacking a
Louisiana negro named Gen. Davis
there and perhaps fatally injuring
him. A number Of Nicaraguan officers
and men were also arrested in con-
nection with the ARRAY.
Davis, who is an inspector for the
Taacker Bros. steamship line, was
talking with some negro companions
when he was threatened with a ma
chete by a drunken soldier. Davis
wrested the weapon away from the
man and went into a house near by
Soon a squad Of police and soldiers ar
rived and arrested him. While being
dragged to the quartet Davis was
beaten into insepsibility. Thinking
Davis was dying they took him back
to the place Of his arrest and threw
him on the ground, refusing to allow
his companions to remove him into
the shade. Physicians arrived and
found him perhaps fally hurt.

FAMOUS CASE ENDS.
Final Settlement is Made of the Bigger
Claims

After legal battle which had been
waged in tn. federal courts since 1901
Marie Antoinette Singers Bigger, now
of London, Eng, has reached a settle
ment with Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Nc
Courts, of Denver, Colo, against whom
she brought suit to recover the profits
due her as heir to her father, William
H Bush, who with the McCourts at
one time controlled the Broadway and
Tabor theaters in Denver. In the fed
eral court Judge Lewis awarded SAT-
100 in final settlement of all claims.
The total amount recovered by Mrs.
Bigger is said to be in the neighbour
hood of 100000. When the suit was
filed in 1901 it caused a mild sensa-
ton because of the charges made in
the complaint.
