A SURGICAL
OPERATION

If there is any one thing that a
woman breads more than another it
Is q surgical operation.
We can state without fear of q
contradiction that there are hun
dreds, yes, thousands, of operations
performed upon women in our hos
pitals which are entirely unneces-
sary and many have been avoided by

SHOULD COLLECT,
Eastern People Puzzled Over Queer
Oregon Laws.
w. S. U'REN.
o. d. TEEL.


Since eastern people have COM
menced to flock to this country in
large numbers the county treasurer
has had his hands full Of trouble. OF
course most of these people who are
coming buy homes or invest in lands
and naturally have to pay taxes, says
the Salem Statesman.
Nearly all of them come from
states where the taxes are paid to the
county treasurer direct and this is
the office they flock to as a matter
of habit. It's curious bland smile
that spreads over the honest faces
of these people form the east when
they are politely informed that they
will have to go to the sheriff to set
tie that difference.
He Is the fellow above all county
officers that they seek to avoid and
when they fully understand after con-
siderable persistence on the part of
the treasurer that the sheriff first
handles the tax money they reluctant
ly take leave for the new innovation.
AS there are more eastern people
coming to this country now than ever
before this article may serve as a
gentle reminder Of what to expect
when tax time comes around.

HOME FOR WORKOUT HORSES.
Portland City Council Considers HUI
name Proposition.

That Portland may soon own a
farm where city horses may be put
out to pasture, where the city can
raise its own supply Of hay and where
horses can be bred for city service,
was advocated in the city council yes
terday afternoon by Councilman Dris-
coll I'm the course of the debate upon
Mayor Lanes veto to the ordinance
authorizing the sale of an old horse
says the oregon Daily Journal.
Driscolps remarks were listened to
with favor by the mayor and the
councilmen, and something of the kind
may be done in the near future.
For some time Superintendent Don
oldson of the street cleaning depart
ment, has endeavored to have the city
purchase a tract of land near the city
where horses can be handled properly
and where the city can raise its own
supply of hay, his idea being to turn
out all OF the city horses to pasture
for a certain period each year. From
an economic standpoint Donaldson
says the city would soon be saving
money on such a venture.
In the council yesterday Driscoll
said that the city now owns enough
horses to warrant purchasing a place
where they can pasture. He spoke
for several minutes on the project
and his remarks were listened to by
the other members, and from time to
time Mayor Lane nodded his head in
agreement TO the plan.
Driscoll favors having a tract where
all worn-out horses can be properly
cared for until they have recovered
sufficiently to be put back to work.
Donaldson believes that If the place is !
bought certain section can be plant |
ed with hay. He favors building |
warehouse in the city where the hay |
can be stored, easy of access to the va
rious city departments, thus saving a
large amount of money spent each
year for food for the horses.
While no definite action was taken
In the matter yesterday, it is believed
that the project now started will be
taken up in earnest by the councilmen
and carried to completion before the
year is out.

The parade was pulled off at the
appointed time and much to the de-

lined the streets. Not one word OF
disappointment was heard from any
one. But words of praise were nu-
merous.
The show is larger and apparently
better than last year. And the same
beautiful characteristics are to be
seen. The animals are well fed, the
wagons are clean and the performers
are neatly dressed.

On the Journey from Vienna to st.
Petersburg, Cumberland, the thought
reader, entertained his fellow-passen-
gers by guessing their thoughts. One
of the travellers, Polish jew, who
took the whole thing for hoax, Of
fered to pay Cumberland the sum Of
fifty roubles if he could divine his
thoughts. Visibly amused, Cumberland
acceded to his request and said: You
are going to the fair at Nishni-N Nov
gorod, where you intend to purchase
goods to the extent of twenty thou
sand roubles, after which you will de-
clare yourself a bankrupt and com
pound with your creditors for three
per cent" On hearing these words,
the Jew gazed at the speaker with rev.
erential awe. He then, without utter
ing a syllable, drew out of the leg Of
his boot a shabby purse, and handed
him the fifty roubles. Whereupon the
great magician triumphantly inquired:
"Tben I have guessed your thoughts,
eh?" "No," replied the Jew, "but
you have given me a brilliant idea. y

The current number of the Scene
Illustrate, of Rome, tells this story of
the first Napoleon as a dramatic
writer. The young man had seen a
performance of 'FThe Cid, y which i'm
pressed him so forcibly that he decided
to write classic drama. Within
short time he had finished nearly four
acts of play, which he entitled "Hec-
tor" Then came his election as a
brigadier general and the manuscripts
was thrown into desk, where no
found it again by chance in 1905. Ma
poleon then sent for Luce de Lancival,
gave him the manuscript and directed
him to finish tine play This was done,
but the players refused to accept 1t.
When Napoleon returned to Paris from
the coronation at Naples he learned of
the contemptuous manner in which his
work had been treated. He demanded
the manuscript and wrote across 1t:
"'The players Of the Comedie Francois
will produce the tragedy which in their
stupidity they rejected. Napoleon. !"
Two hours later the work was accept
ed, in three weeks it was produced
before brilliant audience, declared a
s. ccess, and the alleged author was
decorated with the grand cross of the
Legion of Honor.

Tenyo-Lurline Wireless.

Before leaving San Francisco recent
ly, VIM. j. Smith, Pacific Coast man
ager of the Marine Transportation Com
pany of Providence, R. T., gave the
following story of a heart-hfeaking
wireless conversation between the Mat
son Navigation Co.'S steamer Lurline
and the T. K. K. S. s. Tenyo Maru.
The Japense steamer had left San
Francisco after the Gans-Nelson fight,
and the wireless telegraph operator on
the Lurline inquired anxiously as to
who won the fight.
"Why do Hons. Cans and Nelson
combat" interrogated the Japanese
operator.
"For the coin, said the operator on
the Lurline. who won9''
81 do not learn, replied the Japan
ese telegrapher "fI ask captain. -
An hour passed. The operator on
the Luriine wanted to know whether
the Battler or the colored man had won,
and he inquired again.
Captain say he don't know" re-
piled the japanese operator ''I re-
quire to know from passengers -
More time passed. The Lurline in
quired again. Finally the answer came:
+" Passenger say he don't know. Why
should Hons. Cans and Nelson fight?"
Because" the operator broke off
suddenly. ''What IS the use,'' he muir
INJURED, and abandoned the converse
ton.
The Japanese returned later to re-
sumo his interrogation. Later the Lur
line, thinking he must be passing out
of communication soon, asked: "Where
are you?"
Sin my room," responded the jap
anese.
Then the sparks were no longer sent
into the ether, and the Lurline opera
tor took long drink and went to bed.

REED sMcoT AN ISSUE.

In his recent speech i'm Kansas.

has this TO say regarding the outcome
OF Shoots case in the senate:
Those who expressed an opinion upon
IL were better informed regarding the
Smoot ease than Mr.. Cannon seems to be.
Fhe charges upon which the protest
against he seating Of Reed Smoot Were
nased were fully proved. If Smoot had
been a Democrat we have no doubt ne
would have been unseated.
Reed Smoot is again a candidate, and
the forces at work in his behalf are the
same as six years ago. In case of his
election, we shall undoubtedly see an
other contest started and the fair name
Of the state again besmirched. This
time. however, the odds will be better
than two to one against the senator
holding his seat.
The conclusion of the Advocate that
IL Smoot had been a Democrat he
would have been unseated is probably
correct. but since the subject has been
so thoroughly ventilated and public
sentiment aroused, the fact of his being
a Republican will hardly save him next
time.
