DURBIN COURTS INQUIRY

copied In The Capital Journal and
other papers OF Oregon. The only

was that did not think there would
be anything gained by such an inves-
tigatlon, other than TO show that, as
said before the board, that officials
of the State Fair Board had ridden
on passes and collected mileage az
the rate of ten cents per mile, while
engaged on the business of the fair
He says he has never done that. al
though he has rode on passes.
Explains the Criticism.
Mr.. Durbin explains the criticism
OF Nr. Wisdom by showing that one
item OF $19S4. carried as an asset. Is
money due on unpaid balances from
horse race entries. and that forty
per cent OF this will be collected.
and the rest will have to be charged
of. In the same manner $i7OO was
due from the entries OF 1905. At
the spring meeting Mr., Durbin made
move TO have the horsemen pay
spot cash entry fees. but this was
opposed by Mr.. Wisdom as unjust to
the entrymen. Mr.. Durbln admits
that he should have charged himself
with a liability OF about S400. that
Will be paid in March from the short
Horn Breeders Association. as
against the asset item of $500 due
from the same class OF breeders. Mr.
Durbin Is willing 20 admit that this
Is an error. but he denies the charge
that his bookkeeping Is false, as rep
resented by Mr.. Wisdom.
Downing Asks Investigation.
President II. w. Downing. OF the
State Fair Board. was seen this morn
ing and corroborated Mr.. Durbin In
an Investigation OF all the
finances and transactions OF the State
Fair Board. and 1t looks as II Mr..
Wisdom will have an opportunity 10
prove his assertions OF falsified
bookkeeping. Mr.. Downing says the
finances have been managed openly.
and they have nothing 10 conceal IA
the whole state fair management. He
resents the charge that there has
been grating In any form In connee-
tlon with the management OF the
fair. There are cattlemen in the
state, who. In correspondence with
Durbln. hint broadly that
they did not get square deal. and
would not exhibit. but these COM
plants are nothing unusual con-
nected with state fair management.

Editor BunAtie Rcpicsc:
There is no plausible reason Why
the farmers should be alarmed to
any great extent over the rapid
spread of the boil weevil oyer the
Red river delta.
In the first place. situated as we
are, with productive soils and
splendid climate, the progressive
farmer can and will fnd other and
more pro6table<crops to raise than
cotton. Cane will perforce become
the money crop of the Red river
belt.
There is an increasing demand
for cane table syrups throughout
the States, and the prices make it
profitable to the cane raiser and
manufacturers for all of the best
grade of syrups that can be sup
piled, not only from Louisiana,
but from the cane growing section
of the Gulf States.
The acreage to corn and oats
should be increased to such an ex-
tent that the heavy bnlk of corn
made could be utilized for feeding
swine and beef cattle for domestic
aud market purposes.
In this connection it will be
profitable to plant and grow the
greatest abundance of both sorts OF
potatoes which find ready sale al
living profits in the western mar
kets. If surplus of the potato
crops here noted are made the sur
plus could be fed with profit to the
swine and cattle on the farm.
Planting and raising peanuts is
profitable to the farmer for the
very good reason that the peanut
vines and foliage supply an sbnn-
dance Of nutritive hay, relished
alike by mules, horses aud cattle.
The nuts are also profitable when
cured and placed on the market or
utilized for feeding and fsttening
hogs and poultry.
Don't fear to drop cotton plant
ing. With our advantage there is
"a better living and more money to
be made without cotton than with
1T. Yours, MECHANIC.

There should be no hesitation on
the part of the Republican majority
in congress to pass the law prphib-
iting the shipment of liquor into
prohibition States. There is no
installing the sentiment which is
sweeping the country for the most
stringent regulation of the whisky
traffic. 1t will tolerate no partner
ship between the lawmakers and
brewers, and no conspiracy on the
part of the politicians to thwart
the will of the people. As the
matter now stands, Federal court
has held that brewers may deliver
their goods in prohibition States
under the protection OF the inter-
state commerce law. All that pre-
vents the perfect operation of pro-
hibition in Kansas is the protec-
ton afforded the beer interests BY
the Federal laws. Kansas and
every other State where the peo-
pie have declared for prohibition
or local option are entitled to the
help of the national government
in enforcing the will of the people,
rather than the interference of the
Federal laws III behalf of the law
breakers. They are asking for
nothing more than square deal
from the coming session of con-
gress. Kansas City Times.

OF being grinning skeletons? Toms mind could give
to the questions. He went back once more to
the hatchway and again looked down. 1t was reality

more the fateu newspaper, he carefully wrapped in it

beach Threading his way back through the thiCket
and crossing the field he marked with upright pole

ducor cty-bound car told him that the place was
just tweny-eght miles from the courthouse. Once in
town, Tom straight the office Of the Aurora line

way into private office

The owner looked at Tom. "I'n 90 with you,7 he
said, but l shall not 90 alone"

Tom left him and went straight to the office OF the
managing editor of the Daily Breeze. Under pledge
Of secrecy he told his story Withholding only the location
of the wreck.
AT twelve O'Clock that night the Breeze had two and
one half pages of matter ready for the first edition Tom
wrote the lead and gave the account of his discovery
Sharply at 80 O'Clock he at the river front AT
the foot of the stairway leading the steamship office
a carriage was waiting. On the box with the driver
a with the butt of a Winchester between his
feet The driver looked nervous.
Get in, said a voice from the hack. Tom jumped
in and was pulled down the back seat between two
men, one Of whom he recognized as Captain Watson.
Opposite two heavyset fellows, and by the CLEAN
Of the electric light the corner Tom saw that they
were armed.
"WeI start right said Captain Watson. young
man. here are S25oO The money IS yours if YOU DO as
YOU said. But if this queer way of doing things means
mischief for you'll get something besides money and
get it damned hard"
Tom saw the point the roll of bills and big revolver

until tell you to stop he said He leaned forward as
they went by the Breeze Office hear the roar of the
presses, and then settled back as comfortably as
he could considering the circumstance that each elbow
rested the butt Of revolver. Nothing was said in
the rapid drive to Fiftyfth Street save an occasional
bit of damned folly" from Captain Watson, and a
promise TO wiring the cubs neck if he was lying.
At Fifty-ifth Street Tom called halt. "Take the
shortest cut he said to Stony Island Avenue Drive
along that to South Chicago Avenue, and from, there
South Chicago"
Then they went on silently again until Tom asked
suddenly, "What was the Aurora's cargo, Captain"
Mails in kegs and lot OF chemicals - arsenic col
odon, bichlorde Of zinc, alum, and bchoride OF

South Chicago Avenue was as black as a London
chimney. Halfway down to the rolling mill the horses
drew up suddenly and reared throwing the occupants of
the back seat forward. Tom felt himself grabbed by
Captain Watson, and in an instant pistol was pressed
to his head Then the voice of the driver was heard
swearing frightfuly because the railroad company had
left unlighted obstruction in the road.
Il thought it was hOld-up" said the Captain, and,
