him speak of writing anything in
months"
We'll, marry him and lead him
back into the old paths" laughed Mrs.
Burton.
Florence Burton, if you were not a
staid married woman, should begin
to think you had lost your heart to
the clever Dick" laughed Lillian, ris-
ing and pulling on her gloves.
Manager Sutton's first salutation on
seeing Lillian enter his office the fol-
lowing morning was:
What do you want now? The
earth?'
"Oh, no." replied Lillian serenely.
Il came according to appointment,
to learn to be one Of a rabble. / think
this is the hour you mentioned"

II know you didn't; that's the rea-
son l came" replied Lillian demurely.
Look here, young lady," and the
old fellow turned upon her a pair of
eyes that twinkled from beneath
heavy, over-hanging brows. You're
too blamed smart for me; you've
caught me. Don't you know there
amt any rabble in this piece?"
you said there was
Daniel Sutton chuckled and calling
to boy who at that moment came
into the office, said: ASK that young
author if he won't step this way"
Then, turning to Lillian, he went on:
There's young man who's bound to
make his way, but in the beginning he
was just about as persistent and foxy
as you are. I'm hanged if he didn't
cat or sleep without having his manu-
script stuck under my nose, until at
last in sheer self-preservation, 1
agreed to read it,"
At that moment Lillian heard a step
behind her, and the manager saying:
"Mr. Morton, can't you find part in
your play for this young lady? She's
tormenting the life out of me-
She turned toward the newcomer.
"Lillian!"
Dick Morton!"
II never dreamed that, that you"
Nor L." exclaimed Lillian. when
did you write it?"
why didn't you tell me that you
liked the stage, that you wished to
become an actress?" cried Dick, ig-
noring Lillian's question.
But why didn't you tell me, tell
us, that you had written a play?" per-
sisted Lillian.
II wanted to wait until 1t was a
success. 1 feared you might -
might not think well of my efforts,
you know"
Then they remembered Daniel SUIT
ton, but he had fed.
Suppose we make 1t life partner
ship, Lillian" said Dick, taking both
her hands in his; 'Ill write the plays
and you shall play them. Is it agreed,
darling?"
Il think So" replied Lillian, shyly,
amid bushes. From what Mr.. SUIT
ton tells me we are very much Of q
kind, anyway"

Holland hasa population of only g.

The First Steamboat.

About a dozen years before the 10
English colonies declared their indie

William Henry, a native Of Chester
county, Pennsylvania, attached a
steam engine to an old bateau and
managed to steam for some distance
down the Conestoga river, but by some
mishap the boat was sunk.

OUR PROHIBITION LAWS.

A splendid commentary on our
state prohibition laws appears in
the last issue of the Lidgerwood
Broadaxe, wherein a notice ap-
pears from the wife of a person
whom one would be led to believe
was an habitual drunkard to the
effect that blind piggers we're
warned not to sell her husband
any Intoxicating liquor under
pain of prosecution. A nice COM
mentary, that. However, it is
understood that the population
of Lidgerwood is largely made
up of Bohemians and that furth.
ermore it is almost an
impossibility to secure E
jury in Sargent county
who will convict a blind pig
ger, however damaging the evi
dence. Lidgerwood is not tn.
only town, nor Sargent the onl,
county where this state O.
things exist, it is said.

THE NEW YORK WAVE OF
CRIME,

Undoubtedly the wave of
crime and mob madness which
has recently swept the east side
of the cityef New York, is due
to the hot, humid atmosphere
prevailing among the tenements
Iof the poorer classes of foreign
ers who infest that neighbor-
hood. The sun is a pittiless op-
pressor of the unfortunate peo-
pie who reside in such congest-
ed urban regions as New York's
east side. 1t is much easier for
us who live in a region where the
thermometer often registers
much higher to live peacably
here where there u.s. an ,abund-
ance Of Gods freshr than it is
for the poor shut il who swell
ter day and night In the midst
of New York's humid slun1s.
It has been proven by the last
analysis that this reign Of crime
is due to the atmospheric con-
ditions prevailing. The causa-
tion Of crime is a subtitle and
elusive problem, but it has
been proven that the exces-
|sive and humid heat is the chief
cause Of that species of the de-
throning Of reason and moral
poise that results in crime. b

from one of the directors high
up in the Chautauqua associa-
ton was a fake, and further
goes so far as to state that one
night "pandemonium reigned
supreme and whiskey too-the
grounds being covered the next
morning with empty whiskey
bottles and that said director
was afraid to tell the TRUTH"
Now, that a few, but not very
many of the boys did imbibe and
perhaps rather freely, we do not
for a moment doubt, but that
they in general behaved as dis
gracefully on the Chautauqua

the time Of these alleged shame

quoted the words of a director
who was there continually dur
ing the whole session, he and
his family living on the grounds.
The News further backs up. its
assertions by saying that it will
give additional information with
plenty of good names to back it.
We doubt it, we very much doubt
it. AS far as the Inter-Ocean's
information is concerned, We
still have the communication

THE PASSING OF MANS
FIELD. 81,

Americas foremost legitimate
actor, Richard Mansfield, is now
a physical wreck in a little cot
tage in the heart of the North
woods, near Saranac Lake, N. Y.
His mind has failed, and be-
tween the fierce coughing spells
which almost continuously wrack
his emaciated frame, he declaims
over and over again lines from
the roles he has made famous on
the stage. It is indeed doubtful
if he will ever recover his health
sufficiently to act again and it is
supposed by many that the IA.
NOUS actor is near the jaws Of
death. %E -. 2. =. sa@5 :1ss .s:ss.5.
Mansfield has undoubtedly
been a luminary of the American
stage. Though a man Of many
peculiarities and habits, he has
created roles which, like 20 JEFF
ferson's famous rip Van Win
kle," will remain forever green
IN the memories Of the huns reds.
OF thousands who have seen his
rendition Of them on the stage. sz

STEER CLEAR OF THEM

STEER CLEAR OF THEM.
It would be we'll for proprie-
tors of pool halls in small towns
throughout the state to steer
clear of the four manufacturers
of a beverage which they are
pleased to dignity by the name
of malt. That is, as far as prom
Uses go, at least. The pool room
proprietors have of late been
deluged with reading material
from these same manufacturers,
who, besides claiming that their
ware was notwithstanding in
effect, further stated that they
would fully stand by and protect
any customer who got into trou-
BILE through the sale of their
wares, it is said.
It is alleged that when Mat
Sandie, the man who was arrest
ed at Crary, charged with selling
Intoxicating liquor without a IL
cense, applied to one Feinstein,
The Grand Forks gentleman who
sold him the malt, for bail he
was Indignantly refused. Ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff
Frye the accused even went to
Grand Forks and asked Fem
stein personally. Again he was
refused. Sandie finally pro-
cured bail from other sources,
but this only goes to demonstrate
that the Grand Forks dealers are
seemingly not as good as their
word.

RAILROADS ASSESSED THE
SAME.

The following news item will
prove interesting reading to
those who heard John Burke's
campaign addresses last fall:
The state board of equaliza-
tion has finished it's assessment
of the property of the railroads
in the state, leaving the valua-
ton the same as last year and
making no increase in the valua-
ton of any of the lines.
The assessment was made with
odt dissenting vote Governor
Burke, Auditor Holmes, Attorney
General McCue, Treasurer
Peterson and Commissioner Gil
breath-the full board bein g
present.
The members of the board took
the view that the present assess
ment of the road was on a par
with the valuation of other prop
erty in the ftate. There have
been no substantial increases in
in the mileage of any of the roads
in the state and except for one
or two small! branch lines their
mileage remains the same as last
year. The total valuation of the
railroad property in the state
will be less than twenty-five mil
lions.
The board has also finished the
assessment Of real property ant
of express companies. There wa
a forty per cent increase in tn
Valuation of the express com
panies, the members Of the boart
believing that the value of tn,
properties and extent of the earn

The total valuation of property
in the state for purposes of tax

from two hundred and ffteer
millions of dollars when tn,

OREGON FAcT-FINDERS.

100 fact-fnders in town from all over

will spend the better part of three days
in and about Astoria, Seaside sharing
the honors with this city.
When these clever people go to their
respective homes and tell the tale Of
their vacations, we want Astoria to
figure immense and unanimous in the
story. We want the facts they find
around here to mean something when
these finders relate the history of the
trip. They tell what they know to
many and they tell it honestly, and
sometimes gratefully, and the hundred
yarns will be worth a good deal to As
torians in the future. Therefore if you

ASTORIA'S BIG WEEK.

There is to be nothing but sunshine,
fun, music, sports, games, decorations,
display, parades and the paraphernalia
of the feast, in Astoria all of next week,
and we might just as well get in line
and begin the important duty of smiling,
extending the "glad-hand," and practic-
ing up on such pleasant manifestations
as we feel bit short on, if any such
shortage exists. The whole city will be
in the entertaining class next week and
we must not fall down on our history.
Astoria is famous for the gift of clever
and generous welcome and care of her
guests, and this Thirteenth expression
of her Regatta hospitality must ever
lastingly cineh the happy record, with
the thousands that will bear away the
newer testimony.

THE RESOLUTIONS FAILED.

The meeting of the American Bar As
sociation, at Portland. Maine, recently
furnishes an incident of peculiar inter
est to all Americans, when the Whitlocs
resolution eritieizing and condemning
President Roosevelt for certain alleged
structures he had cast upon a group OF
the membership of that great organiza-
tion some time ago, was beaten out OF
recognition and failed Utterly to attain
to vote. And perhaps the most salient
feature of the affair was the fight put
up by Judge Alton B. Parker, president
of the association. and the defeated op-
ponent of Mr.. Roosevelt in the last
presidential campaign. against the pas
sage or consideration of the resolution.
1t is against the policy and dignity of
SO important society as the American
Bar Association to deal in such per-
sonalities, especially when they are di-
rectly against the Chief Executive of the
nation. and are discountenaneed on gen
eral ethical grounds by all organiza-
tions. In the case under consideration
they were evidently inspired by political
animus, and this fact emphasizes the
manly contention Of President Parker in
bis successful obliteration of the attack.
We do not hold President Roosevelt to
be immune from the commission of blum
ders; indeed, we have several times de-
plored his untoward act and word in
the course Of what he thought was his
specific duty; but as the President OF
this great country, he is absolved from
too harsh and too conspicuous handling,
as the indulgence in such methods would
bring his office and his administration
into disrepute, and open the bars to the
world for reckless reiteration of strie-
lures initiated, and therefore sanctioned,
by this people; condition that would
soon make ducks and brakes" of the
quality of the highest Office known to
humanity.
We are glad the incident closed at the
propitious moment and in the proper
fashion, and we are exceedingly glad Of
the influence exerted by Judge Parker,
since it shows that he could readily lay
aside what of lingering political preju'
dice he may have entertained against
his successful rival at the polls, and
was conscious Of, and competent for. the
peculiar exactions Of the moment, and
thoroughbred enough to compel the
tactful and generous treatment neces-
sary.
