SPURS IN THE BALLROOM

WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is only at the ma
tional capital that young women exploit the griev-
about having their best gowns rent in twain
by spurred army officers of the army and navy and
by the unforme foreigners. 1t may be that spurs
called for by the regulations but they are GER
tanly a great nuisance when the White House is
crowded to the doors and nearly all the feminine
toilets are of fragile lace, chiffon and null.
The older officers assert that the occasion is a
bugbear and if they successfully the gantlet
in the blue without destroying any gowns
they are glad to back up in a corner of the east
room and remain there all evening. The younger
men not so careful and each levee has its list
of victims of the spurs and clashing sword.

TO SAVE HER SON

She has compelled herself to
face this terror until now she is
eager to do it-or anything that
will aid in saving the life of her
boy. Since Harry's birth hers has
been life Of sacrifice, and it will
be crowned with halo OF renuncia-
ton when she takes the witness
stand. What it will cost her pride
no one can tell. Neither can it be
estimated what agonies Of indie.
cision she has gone through.
If Harry Thaw is saved he will
owe his life to his mother.

The mind OF the boy, the youth,
the young man is kDowl, better to
her than to anyone eass. And this
she will tell as she saw It grow and
develop out of the normal mental
course of the spiritually healthy.
The distortions of the sense of
right and wrong, the early leanings
toward the eccentric, the disappear
ance of self control and many other
traits which must have brought
agony to the mother, will be told
She, who has kept them hidden in
her heart of hearts for years, will
tell them. 1t is to save his life, and
for this she is willing to do it.

Sam .Dunsmorc returned from

went to get information bearing upon
the relationships Of the Underwoods.
parties to the disputed property In.
terests OF his late wife. Rumor has
had Il that three new claimants for
q share of Mrs. Priscilla Dunsmorc's
estate had bobbed up.
The claim said to be made 10 that
Mrs. Dunsmorc was the wife Of I'm
dcrwood but that they separated.
Both had remarked and neither had
secured 4 divorce. The Unionville
parties say that they arc descendants
Of Underwood by his second wife,
but considering the fact that their
father never secured 4 divorce from
Mrs. Dunsmore, they believe he
would be her heir, Il alive. Under
wood died several months ago, after
the death Of Mrs. Dunsmore, and Un-
dcrwood's children, a. his heirs, were
sought to be brought into the suit ~
entitled to q part at least Of the es-
tate.
Mr.. Dunsmore made the trip to
Unionvillc, interviewed the parties,
and reports that they make no claims
on the estate. He further found the
divorce records in the case Of his for
mer wife and the man Underwood.
The case was called again In the

Portland, Dec. 5.-Recent govern
ment warnings as to the exhaustion
of the forests of the country cause
little concern in Oregon, which has
100000, 900 feet of standing timber,
more than any other state in the
union, and one-siXth of the entire
supply of the United States.
At the present rate of consump-
tion. not allowing for any new
growth, Oregon's timber supply
would last $50 years. At $12 per
1000 feet, the states timber is now
worth sS.6OO.OOO, 900, or more than
the total amount of money in circu-
lation I'm the United States.
The most productive area lies west
of the Cascades, where the average
Of standing timber is 1900 feet to
the acre, but many tracts are found
that yield $4,000 feet, and single logs
that in the form of sawed lumber
are worth from $50 to 500 are COM
monplace.
Six hundred saw mills. employing
5000 men, besides 1000 men in the
logging camps, produce two billion
feet OF lumber every year, for which
the worlds markets pay Oregon
nearly $45,0OO,0OO for forest pro-
ducts Of all classes.
Federal withdrawal of extensive
forest reserves and the states new
laws for the protection OF its for
ests are depended upon to prolong
indefinitely the existence of Ore
gon's timber supply as its principal
source of revenue.
The fact that there Is enough tim
Der in oregon to build a solid board
fence so feet high around the en-
tire United States only makes her
more determined to conserve this
vast forest wealth.

MONEY MARKET
IS ON ITS FEET
HENRY CLEWS SAYS RE-
CUPERATION WILL BE SLOW
Hoarded Currency Is Again Coming
Out Into the Light of Circulation
Values Knocked Down by the
Temporary Panic viii Slowly Re-
cover and Confidence Is to . be
Largely Restored.

Henry Clews, who speaks with
knowledge from the financial world,
saws that the country has again re-
covered its financial equilibrium and
Is ION its feet" so to speak, but, but
the recuperation will be slow. In his
letter on the financial situation this
week he says:
There is a distinctly better feeling
in the financial situation due almost
entirely to improvement in the mon
ey market which has been working
out its own cure. Hoarded currency
is being returned; foreign gold is
pouring into our Golfers; bank re-
serves are beginning to rise; the cred
II situation is less strained; call and
time money rates are lower, and re-
demption Of clearing house certifi-
Gates is already in sight.
These symptoms Of relief have for
tunately shown themselves even be-
fore the additional currency furnish
ed by the government had become
available. They show natural and
healthy tendencies towards recovery.
AS a result we have had a fair rise
in the stock market and confidence
has been correspondingly improved.
1t is quite evident that the corner
has now been turned. and that IL
auidation in the main is complete.
Possibly further weak spots may de-
velop later on, but these promise to
be of minor importance. After the
enormous shrinkage and liquidation
Of the past few months, the market
is evidently on a safer and sounder
basis than It has ben for long pc
riod, and as soon as the monetary sit
uation rights itself and confidence
is more fully restored, values should
go back to a more normal level.
It is not pretended that the mar
ket will promptly or wholly recover
from the terrible shock which It re-
ceived in october last. For some
time TO come irregular markets must
be expected with more or less depres-
sion and inertia. II must also be re-
membersd that there is comparative
ly little money available for invest
ment.
The country's liquid capital has
been practically exhausted, so that
time will be required for the ac-
emulation of a fresh supply; and in
view Of the reactionary Tenderness
which have developed in business. II
is quite probable that longer pc
riod than usual will be required fol
saving PURPOSES.

POLITICAL NEWS NOTES.
About Men Prominent I'm the Affairs
of the Nation.


Major G. V. Menzies, who is being
urged by his friends to become a
candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for governor of Indiana, is a
son-in-law of the late Governor Ho-
vey Of that state.
A movement against sending a
national convention is said to be
gaining much strength in Alabama.
Il is headed by Walter Percy, a
prominent lawyer of Birmingham.
Senator Kittridge of South Dakota,
says that if the republican national
convention was to be held now this
state would send a solid Taft delega-
ton and that in his opinion the sec
retary of war would undoubtedly be
nominated.
Nine cities will submit bids for the
democratic national convention when
the national committee meets in
Washington next week. They are
Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Dem
yer, st. Paul, Milwaukee. Louisville,
Atlantic City and Long Branch.
Few new members of the senate
attracted more attention at the open
ing of congress this week than jeff
Davis, the successor of Senator Berry
of Arkansas, and former governor of
that state. Senator Davis is young
er man than his predecessor. a fluent
talker and rather handsome in ap-
pearance. He enjoys the reputation
of being a champion OF the plain
people" and is counted upon to con-
tribute to the liveliness of the senate
proceedings as soon as he becomes
familiar with his surroundings.

In letter to Deputy United States
Marshal Nels Short Mr.. F. F. Allen
of the forest service, writes from
Orting that the construction of these
trails will be a benefit to the stock
men and public generally as well as
to the officers of the forest service.
Mr.. Allen asks that the matter be
given publicity so that bids will be
submitted by honest and competent
people. The service reserves the
right to reject any and all bids but
Mr.. Allen says that If there is definite
assurance that competent people will
undertake to construct the trails the
work will be commenced at an early
date.
Mr.. Short has a copy of the speci-
fications and the descriptions of the
proposed trails may be seen at the
