NEED SPECIAL SESSION
Polk County Representative AdvO-
Gates Immediate COnVOcatlOn
of Oregon Legislature.

Believing that the legal holidays
now existing will probably be neces-
sary for the benefit of the banking
institutions much longer than is now
evident, B. F. Jones, state representa-
tive from Polk and Lincoln counties,
who is at the Hotel Perkins, advocates
the calling by Governor Chamberlain
Of special session of the Legislature
for the purpose of passing law which
would give the governor the power to
declare holidays which would effect
the banks only.
The legislative body could be assem-
bled at Salem within "a hours, Mr..
Jones says, and in short time could
enact laws which would be of great
benefit to the business of the state.
In case this was done the business OF
the state courts could be carried on as
before the holiday proclamation of
the governor was announced. At the
same time the new constitutional pro-
vision would make allowances which
would make holidays for banks legal
as long as the people should desire. -

ROOSEVELT BY
RECLAMATION

WHEELING, w. Va, Sept IL
Roosevelt by reclamation" This is
the opinion soberly expressed by
United States Senator Nathan b.
Scott last night and all the more i'm
portant because Scot is a friend of
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania.
Make up your mind" said Scott,
"that the people of this country are
Roosevelt crazy. find this wherever
/ go and there is no use in discounting
it.
Il don't mean to say that the presi-
dent is a candidate for second term.
He has several times told me he was
not I don't believe, however, that he
can stop the tide that is running in the
republican party
Senator Knox is a credit to the
great state of Pennsylvania. He is
one of the ablest men know in public
life and should he be the choice of the
party would make a splendid presi-
dent ] am fond of Fairbanks, Cannon

THoRNs AND ORANGE BLOSSOMS
Author Gets Close to Real Life in Con-
structing This Drama.

Bertha NJ. Gays chief object in life
has been to better the lk3orer classes;
in particular her efforts have been di-
rected to ameliGrate the conditions ex-
listing among the working girls of all
nations, and in "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" this talented authoress
strikes a decisive blow at the insin-
cerity, hypocrisy and pitfalls laid to
ensnar. the unwary and the unprac-
ticed.
The story is of vital import; it gets
close to the real cause of girl failing
to carve out happy future; 1t bares
to public scorn the contemplate meth
DDS employed by the villain to trap an
innocent girl to ruin, and for that rea-
son alone, for the lesson, the moral 1t
teaches, no woman or girl of any age,
class or condition should miss wit
Messing the production, which comes
to the Temple on Thursday Sept. IL,
under the direction of the Rowland &
Clifford Amusement company,
The cast, which is a remarkably
strong one, is headed by Miss Flora
Fairfield, a viyaciOus beauty, acceded
to be one of the handsomest, most
charming and magnetic young ac-
tresses~on the stage today. Miss Fair
field is best in emotional work, and in
"Thorns and Orange Blossoms wide
scope is offered for the display of her
inimitabIe talents. Supporting Miss
Fairfield is company of exceptional
merit, one of the strongest ever as
sembled by the Rowland & Clifford
Amusement company.
Seenically the play has much to ex-
cite surprise and wonder, and mechan-
ically the production is gem of
stagecraft art. The story is dramatic,
intensely human, and at all times the
action is interspersed with a goodly
amount of laughable comedy.
One night only.

BOY OF EIGHT
TURNS BURGLAR

SEATTLE, Sept, 11.--Teddy Pointer,
eight years old, was arrested as
burglar Yesterday, says the Times, by
Patrolman f. w. Blacker. Huddled IN
a chair in back room at the police
station, the fearful little urchin did
not look like the ordinary burglar
The tears formed rivulets down his
dirty little face. Teddy was the most
unhappy person in Seattle about that
time,
In the next room captain Irving
Ward was considering the little fell
lows case. The witness was ques:
toned the verdict of guilty was rem
dered by the big captain. But he
couldn't stand to have the boy jailed
SO he sent him to his home in North
Seattle.
The cigar stand which was broken
into by the boy is situated at 2416 First
! avenue. It is in the hands of re-
ceiver and c. F. Warner is the agent
| At present the store is locked up.
Yesterday when Warner went to the
store he met Teddy, the eight-year-o
boy coming out of the rear entrance
loaded down with goods, He promptly
took charge of the boy and turned hin
over the Patrolman Blacker, who hap
pened along.
At police headquarters Teddy admit
ted all he had done and said he wa
sorry.
When question as to what he in
tended to do with the plumber from IN
store the lad was unable to say. !
~or~e he simply had an idea that n
wanted to steal something and TOOL
the first opportunity to do so.

PLAYED JOKE ON
CITY COUNCIL

POCATELLO, Sept 1.-THE big

Line hands appeared at the city HAN
to work out their poll tax, in lieu OF
paying cash. They appeared in re-
Spouse to orders issued by Street
Overseor j. f. O'Keefe, under authori-
~ ~ q city ordinance recently passed
levy ing a city road poll tax of St
against every able-bodied man in the
CITY between the ages of q and So.
The ord nance gave the option Of pay
ing cash or working two days on the
city streets
Mike Gates appeared with his gang
of Italians, SIS strong. The Greeks
under the leadership of William Car
Willis, numbered 40 The shop hands
and roundhouse gang brought the total
close to 400 men,
Naturally Oversaer O'Keese was not
prepared for such a contingency. NO
tools were at hand for the men, ard
thew swarmed for over an hour IN
front of the city hall before the over
seer finally appeared with wagon
load of shovels and rakes purchased
from the Bean Hardware company
They were distributed as far as they
would go, but a great number were
without tools. Those who were equip
ped for work trailed up West CLARK
street, singing and playing horse, maxi
ing a burlesque OF the affair. With
merry quips they would drag a few
shovels Of dirt from under and then
pass on to the next corner. No one
was in charge of the various gangs
although for a time Overseer O'KeefS
made superhuman efforts to be every

on the scene and acted as gang boss

PACKING
NEAR CALDWELL
Fine Crop Easily Handled
Since Advent of Electric
Line

CALDWELL, Ida, Sept. 11.-Hart' |
ley q Lesser began the annual prune
packing Friday with A. X. Galloway in
charge. About 40 packers were at
work Saturday, and Manager Galloway
says he expects the packing to last
about three weeks.
The prunes, for the most part, are
Italians, though a few Hungarian and
Silver will be shipped. About $4,000
crates are prepared for the shipments,
and as one car contains 1000 crates,
/ this means that there will be between
20 and 25 carloads shipped.
The fact that last spring some of
the fruit growers around Caldwell neg
/ lacted their orchards to a great ex-
tent coupled with the fact that the
inspector is attending strictly to bust
ness. makes the shipment from this
place not much above that of last
year
The grower furnishing the greatest
amount Of fruit this year is ], p. Will
son Of Middleton, who has contracted
for 100 tons. OF the amount of prune!
bought TO the packing house only
about three bores have been con
demned.
Hartley & Richards are doing bust
ness this year with Denning & Co o
Chicago, and are selling the prune
here, Mr.. Hogan representing Denninj
& Co being here to look after tn
shipments.
With the exception of the prune
> condemned on the farms, the prune
of this section have never been s
good as they are this year, and grow
ers are jubilant over the fact that thi
year there are so many of them abb
to bring their fruit to market over tn
electric line.
> J. P. Wilson says that every da
the country looks better to him be

the keenest appreciation among tn
farmers up the line will be when the
