A collision took place at Union Corner
last Saturday night about 8 O'Clock be-

Two young men OF Penn's Grove wish
ing a lark left Sunday night at 10. 10 and
one minute after one O'Clock were ringing
the door bell at the house of a friend in
Camden, after ~sneaking thru two toll gates
without paying toll and a lively chase thru
the streets by a policeman for violating
speed limit. They were royalty enter
tanned at a friends. Monday morning at
9.O6 they left for Penn's Grove arriving
at Woods corner at II. "A, dusty and
weary, but triumphant, and declaring no
wheels to be in it with the Vindex Spec
ial or Reddington. This is a record
worth talking about.
This week will about finish up the late
tomato crop, which has been more pro-
life than for years. The farmers have
received only s and 10 cents a basket,
equal to S. and Sc a ton, which leaves a
very small proht, if any. That was the
contract price some years ago until the
demand made it better not to grow on
contract. The Gamers in some regions
contracted for tomatoes at SO and $40.
Those few farmers who had contracts did
better, because the market has been SO
low that many hundreds of baskets full
of tomatoes have been thrown away and
left to rot in the field.

BOOSTING THEIR CANDIDATES
BEFORE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Callers have been demanding ad-
mission to the Attorney General for
days. Senators and Representatives,
men wearing frock coats and top hats,
as well as many not so fastidiously
attired, were among the great num-
bers who were crowding the outer
offices. None of them would say a
word for publicity. 1t finally de-
veloped that most of them were in
terested in the candidacy of men who
wanted judgships district attorney
ships or marshalships in far off AL
aska.
One day the crush tried the patti
ence of a prominent department Of
ficial who had been striving for some
time to take up certain important
matters with his chief. Looking over
the bunch he exclaimed testify I'D
like to know what can be the Won
derful attraction in federal berth
in that far off country, where almost
every office holder Is confronted
sooner or later with charges of some
sort or another" There was silence.
The inquirer broke 1t himself with.

EASTERN CITIES ARE
BOOSTING TOO

A half million for advertising is
what Buffalo proposes to spend in
the next five years, says Whites
Glass Advertising. At a meeting on
February II attended by representa-
tives of a number of local business
organizations general features of a
plan to spend 100000 yearly for five
years to advertise the city were ap-
proved. The plan has been prepared
by joint subcommittee made up of
w. NJ Ramsdell.- representing the
chamber of commerce. E. F. Ohm
stead. representing the Ad club; E.
D. Horgan, representing the manu-
factureres' club; w. ]. ]. Kunzie,
representing the real estate associa-
ton of the chamber of commerce,
and z. L. Kleinhans, representing the
retail merchants association. A pub
licity and industrial bureau, bureau
of promotion and a bureau Of con-
ventions all grouped under one head
ing, will be established and will have
at their disposal 100000 a year on
which to boost the interests of the
city.

PORTLAND WHEAT SHIPMENTS.
Is 100000 Bushels Ahead of Sound
for Past Nine Months.

Reducing flour to wheat measure
and including the coastwise traffic,
2,391,397 bushels of the cereal were
set afloat in March at the various
ports of the Pacific Northwest, ac-
cording to date which has just been
'compiled by the Merchants Exchange.
The wheat shipments from Portland
amounted to 72S,SO3 bushels, as
against 506,612 bushels from Puget
Sound. From the Rose City S6,145
barrels of flour were dispatched and
from the combined ports of Western
Washington 170,74O barrels.
For the nine months of the cereal
year. including the coastwise business
9,425,533 bushels of wheat have been
sent from Portland, as compared
with 6,19S,s42 bushels from her
northern competitors. Consequently
Portland is in the lead Of the num-
erous Sound ports by more than g.
600, 900 bushels and the shipping sea-
son is practically at an end. More
wheat will be sent down the coast
during the next three months, but
exporters are of the opinion that no
additional shipments will be made
across the seas until the new-crop
product is ready for market.
The figures reveal that despite the
poor season Portland has made a re-
markable showing. while the trans
actions on the Sound have greatly re-
trograded as compared with year
ago. During the corresponding sea-
son Of 19O7-0S Portland shipped 12,-
578,34S bushels. Consequently 1t will
be seen that the shipments from Port
land are but 100000 less than last
year, which was the greatest In the
history of the coast, while the traffic
from the Sound Is more than 7,000,-
900 bushels short of the showing then
made.

with the Wright machine, as the nu-
cleus for the aerial branch of the

1t is confidently expected that both
this and the Wright machine will
stand the test demanded by the de-
partment. Upon acceptance men will
be selected for training as aeronauti-
cal pilots. Just how they are to be
designated is something of a prob
lem.
General Allen is now looking for
a word which will express the idea
of pilot and aeronaut and engineer.
a far more difficult task than was
the selection of chauffeur" for mo-
tor car drivers or "motormen" for
street cars. Several hybrid names
have been suggested such as aero

have been discarded. "Sky-pilot' will
doubtless become the popular desi-
gnation.

Salem. Or.-Startling revelations
Of the condition Of orphan children
in Oregon-how they are adopted
merely TO be pressed into menial SER
vice,their mental training neglected
and other charges-are contained in
a letter written to an Oregon senator
by Mrs. Cora Stone of Foster, Linn
county. Whether the facts set forth
will cause an Investigation is proble-
matical, but the letter has been
placed in the hands of Labor Com
missioner Hoff
The letter is peculiarly pertinent,
in that it arouses interest in the
orphan problem as a statewide ques-
tion-to what extent the motherless
children are being misused, if at all;
and whether their condition in gener-
al is as deplorable as the alleged
cases cited by Mrs. stones letter. The
letter follows:
Mrs. Cora Stone's Letter.
81 wish to call your attention to
one of the most pitiful and deplor-
able conditions in this community
ever met with any place I have ever
lived, and 1 have been in many places
during the 35 years of my existence.
There seems to be no law governing
the disposition of orphans in Oregon.
Anyone who wants extra work done,
goes and gets an orphan. People
whom wise nature-let US hope it
was anyway-denied children of their
own. people who have little and
work like oxen. people with no edu-
cation, no real home surroundings,
go to Portland and come back with
a boy or girl adopted.
As one man put it, in a year or
two the girl can do the housework
and the boy can help on the farm.
A young woman of 26 who has $4,000
of her own. who lives with a semi
invalid mother. a brother and two
sisters, has adopted a boy about s
years of age. All the grown ups sim
ply live for money. They all have a
hand in seeing that the boy works,
I understand. They are religious fam
atics, go off on holy rollerism and
such hikes.
Works Boy of 13 Years.
Another young man has a boy of
13. quite bright. He is not adopted,
but his whole family are dead. The
young man has him for what work
he can get out of him and uses such
language to the small boy that it is
the talk of the neighborhood. The

We are so positive that we can
cure constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
make constipation more chronic. Be-
sides, their use becomes habit that
is dangerous and often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weakness
Of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To
expect cure you must therefore
tone up and strengthen those organs
and restore them to healthier activ-
ity.
The discovery Of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy evolved the la

KING EDWARD RECEIVES
DETECTIVE AS NOBLEAIAN

Biarritz.-Several Of the detectives
transferred to Biarritz for the kings
visit are showing much ingenuity in
the DISCUSSES they adopt, and, though
1t would be unfair to give their Sc
crets away, no harm can be done by
mentioning that his majesty was much
tickled when informed subsequently
that a handsome stranger, who few
days ago was presented to him, in
perfect innocence on the part of the
person responsible, as a distinguished
foreign nobleman, was in reality a
secret service man. The latter has a

Commissioner Hoffs Answer.

In answer to the communication of
Mrs. Stone. Labor Commissioner Hoff
states that he is powerless to act.
When a child is adopted it stands in
the same relation to its adopted par
ents are if this parent was its actual
father and mother. As long as the
child is not working for a compensa-
tion, supervision over it does not fall
under the jurisdiction of the labor
commission, by virtue of the powers
delegated to him under the child la
Dor laws.
