There never has been a satisfactory
explanation of the low prices of west
ern wool prevailing this season Last
year the clips sold at from is to 2S
cents per pound. This year the same
clips sold at one-half of these prices.
The wool-consuming population is in
creasing each year. Woolen goods
are as high on the markets as they
were last year. The quality of the
wool is just as good as ever. SO why
the low prices? The East Oregonian
has printed several alleged reasons
have the right ring.

HE'S AN ELK.

If he's looking up, not down
He's an Elk.
If he'd rather smile than frown.
He's an Elk.
If he's jolly, broad and fat,
If he wears a mans sized hat,
Take a tip from things like that.
He's an Elk.
If he sees some good in all.
If he helps the men who fall,
He's an Elk.
If he looks you in the eye,
Give a courteous reply,
If he's shrewd, but never sly,
He's an Elk.

Brother Elk,

NO; he swings the pearly gate:

the lesson fast; but so far the people
OF Missouri and Kansas at least have
had no experience in making direct
nominations. The primary law is
right in principle, but its enemies will
be very glad If the first experiments
result unfortunately.
Thus, much depends on the wisdom
or discrimination shown in the selec-
ton of candidates of the several par
ties at the fourth of August primaries.
obviously one cannot discriminate
with good sense If one is not pretty
well informed as to who the caudl-
dates are and what their Qualfica-
tions are:
The country voters both in Kansas
and Missouri will probably have the
easier time as they will be confront
ed by the fewer number of candidates
for the several offices. In Kansas
City, Mo, there are as many as 10
aspirants for one county office. 1t
might well puzzle a body of expert
to choose the best quail
flied man. The average voters prob
lem is much more difficult.
Find out all that you can about all
Of the candidates. But If you have
not learned anything definite con-
cerning any of the candidates for
some one nomination don't vote on
that nomination. If group OF
names under one office title on the
ballot is meaningless to you don't
make a guess and choose one name
at random. Pass that group up.
The primary system will be worth
less If it is not accompanied by in
telligent voting.

INTELLIGENT VOTING.

The Kansas City Star gives voters
of Kansas and Missouri some excel

direct primary law and this advice
may be Of interest to Oregon voters
where the primary law Is in force.
The Star says:
How are you going to vote at the
primaries in August? Not, for whom
are you going to vote, but how?
VIII you vote intelligently or unintel-
ligently?
The great American electorate is
not yet educated to the duty Of pri.
mary voting. 1t will doubtless learn

The interest In Converse and Ma
trona counties in dry farming is not
as general as in other parts OF the
state, yet a very promising dry farm
of 40 acres has been established on
Powder river under the supervision
of Dr. Cooke and with the cooperation
of the Northwestern railroad.
The dry farm in the vicinity of
Cheyenne is making a wonderful
showing of fall sown grain and its
success will mean a great stride in

STATE POLICE LAW

The Wonder Mining News has the
following to say regarding the action to
be taken by the next legislature on the
sta tie police bill:
"a number Of the state papers have
printed paragraphs to the effect that
the incoming legislature will have no
authority to amend the police law, for
the reason that it has just been passed
upon by the people ut large, and that
they have approved it. We do not be-
lieye that members of the legislature
will look upon it in that light. 1t must
be generally conceded that the planks
of the democratic platform must be
lived up to, and perhaps the most
strenuous plank in that document had
references to the police law, pledging the
incoming legislature to enact amend
mentS. We believe firmly that the pro-
posed amendments such us no doubt
acting Governor Dickerson will suggest
in his message, will in the near future
form Il part of the police law. These
amendments will eliminate the obiec
tionable features of the present law, and
will conform to the pledges of the dem
ocr;rtic party. Should there be any
question us to the legality of such legis-
lative action the people still have re-
course to the referendum, and the
question as to whether or not the
amendments shall stand may be sub
mitted to the electors of the state at
the general election two years hence.
In the mean time, or SO long as acting
Governor DicllcrsOn is in the guber-
natoral chair, any amendments to the
law that the Legislature may see fit to
cnac. will be rigidly enforced"

Japy, who were found strangled in their home on the morning of May 3l, her attempt to find the assassins and the innumerable fantastic clues furnish cd by the police and newspapers, were only the desperate farce to conceal the real author of the crime. whom she knew, affords Paris the biggest ssnsa- ton in years.
 Excitement produced from time to time by the Dreyfus, Humbert and Syveton affairs pales into insignihcance by comparison, and the revelations which crowded thick and fast during the day, pointing to the possible ex posture of national scandal, promise to attract world wide attention.
 The political opponents of the govern ment like Henry Rochefort, have beer trying to make political capital of tho affair, seeking to force an exposure oi the scandal connected with the mys terious death of Felix Faure, president of the republic. in 1899. Although hushed up at the time, it was common knowledge that Mime. Steinhil was witl Nj. Faure at Elysee palace when h' died.

 The foregoing is the net result of the big baseball game at Stafford yesterday, but it does not begin to tell the good time the boys had in the valley town, nor what stirring hot game it was.
 The fact of the matter is that Globe had the home team shut out up to the ninth inning, when a sratch hit let in two runs. Both teams had been materially strengthened, Baroldy of Sol. omonville playing positively brilliant game for Stafford at short. But the Globe team was too heavy at every stage of the play. Rarey, the south paw twirler who will play with this team all next season, was in the box for Globe, and pitched n superb game, striking out three men in the first in ming. although Safford sent up it's best stickers to open the fun.

 All told, the Globe team was abou the most thankful bunch when reached home last night.

STRANGE CASE 0f
 AN INSANE WOMAN
CHARGE OF INSANITY HAS END IN ACCUSED GOING TO MESA
 TO HOME OF HER SON.

PHOENIX, November 26.-Mrs. Emma Lapham, who was brought be- fore Probate Judge Phillips Saturday afternoon at 3:30 clock on a charge of insanity, appeared at tho court B office Monday morning with four most remarkable letters, one of which was addressed to Judge Phillips, and the others to relatives.
 The one to the court referred to the proceedings on Saturday, which were aecl Jared to be most unexpected by Mrs. Lapham, and that there her credulity had been destroyed and her faith in human nature shattered. Some parts of the letters were very diseon- nected in thought and recital of facts, but the writer considered the Hum Der wagon or cart in which she was hauled in an undignifed way to the court house. as an insult. The writer also referred to business matters Tn which she said she had been confused by her attorney. The purpose of the exhibition of these letters, which, according to the writer's own statement, she wishes all persons concerned to read the contents of, is not apparent, except to show the court what she thinks of him, and that she bears no one i'll will. In all the letters Mrs. Lapham asks that the court return them to her, as she always made q practice of keeping copy of all let ters she writes, but had at this time nc copying ink and wants these letters to 90 on file with her other documents.
 Mrs. Lapham has heretofore attract
 cd considerable attention on account oi
 what she terms unconventional conduct
 rather than "queer, and her actions
 from time to time have led the author
 ties 10 look into her case. It was final lly disposed of by her going to the hom' of her son, near Mesa. In the lette Mrs. Lapham says tha, she preferre' to live alone in Phoenix, and was dis appointed at the outcome. Her bushes affairs have been somewhat disturbe' by her somewhat expensive immediat !. relatives, but she thinks she has Il :, enemies. Mrs. Lapham had also aT 3 pearcd frequently at the office Of tn
 city marshal, who thought her action
 strange.
 She came, here from Chicago, and
 said to be wealthy. She invested
 the spainhower ranch, near Mesa, an lin the Charles Wartman property
 Phoenix. One of the uneonventioni .' things related was that she locked he
 self out of the house and then entere it as a robber would do, calling on h' Ineighbors to assist her. Jef Adam l. who took her in charge, found her ca
 ing with two young men, with only
 box for table. and little furniture the house.
