MOUNT HOOD
FOR NATIONAL PARK.
Many Thousand Will Then be
Drawn to The
Peace.

Portland, Ore, Oct. 5.-Mount Hood
will be made a National Park IL a
movement now under way is success
full Under leadership of E. Henry
Wemme, petitions are being prepar-
ed for circulation all over the State
OF Oregon. These peatitions ask the
federal government to withdraw that
part of Mount Hood now in the for
est reserve and other portions inclu-
ded in United States properties, maxi
ing Of the whole a great park SINH
lar to the Yellowstone and Crater
Lake.
Mr.. Wemme intends to ask every
commercial organization in the state
to lend a hand to secure for Oregon
an attraction that will draw many
thousands of tourists to the new
Park. 1t is drought by Portland peo-
pie that the project is an entirely
feasible one and that the Govern
ment will give it official sanction.
The Portland Automobile Club will
aid the movement of circulating pc
titions and in urging along the es-
tablishment of the new reservation.
While it is recognized that Mount
Hood has not the varied sights of
the Yellowstone Park, still the snow
capped peaks, the glaciers and snow
fields and the comparative ease with
which tourists can scale the noun
ain, which has an altitude of over
1000 feet, make it. particularly at
tractive
The proposed park could be made
easily accessible from this city and
could readily be converted into
great natural show place at COM
paratively small cost With Mr..
Wemme actively at work on the pro-
ject, there is little reason to doubt
it will be accomplished.

The Beauty Corner.

Womanly beauty is about as rare
as birds with four legs, according to
an Italian of wealth and title, who
has just published some interesting
statistics in La Roma. According to
this Italian statistician, among the
French only one woman in every $500
has any claim to beauty; his own race
yields a possible one in every 1000
Spanish women of beauty come in the
same proportion. The German women
he refuses to consider beautiful at
all. England he says, has the great
est number of beauties of any one
nation of unmixed blood. the percen-
tage being one in every 1900.
This conservative Italian critic re-
fuses to consider Americans as
race, because, he SAYS, they are too
polyglot. Considering the one city
New York, however he finds there
more beauties than in any foreign city
about one in every 10000. And by
beauties" he says, he does not mean
perfect beauties by any means. He
means merely those with a few good
features and no eccentricity to mar
them.
The cruelty of this Italian gentle
man, whose only distinction has been
gained by his present statistics seems
at first glance to be wholly un-Chris-
tian. At best, he can only pick out
the women who are beautiful accord
ing to his own standards. We are
sure that there are no women who
are not deemed beautiful by some
body or other; therefore all must
be beautiful. One mans opinion is as
good as anothers.
Thinking the matter over carefully
however, one may find considerable
logic in the italians remark, with
regard to one beautiful woman in
every 1900 in New York. How could
the percentage be higher when Wash
ington has cornerad the mark p

The Way They Kick in Kansas.

A story was told me while in Kan
sas when the hot prairie winds were
blowing and amid the speeches of the
Chautauquas of the Kansas way OF
taking up life's work. He was young
and had Just graduated from law scho'
His resources We're exhausted, but he
bravely swung forth his shingle and
waited. But no clients stopped on
that side of the street His office
rent was due and his clothes Were be-
coming shiny, but he went to his
office with a regularity that would
indicate a thriving practice. He was
deep in an imaginary case, and when
the authorities were all noted and ar
gument prepared he started forth down
town and thrashed the Mayors son,
whom he met in the street.
The act aroused the righteous indig-
nation of the townsmen and he faced
an angry court. But in his testimo-
ny he was able to include sharp
attack on the Mayor and his admins
tration; he quoted law from Lycurgus
and Scion, and gave them the page,
number and chapter every time.
The case was continued and sent
up to higher court; at last 1t reach
ed the Supreme bench and the young
man made the most of his opportunity
to show his ability as lawyer. He
lost the case and paid his fine cheer
fully; for he had established for him
self practice which assured his flu
ture.

seems to be that in order to do things

insurgency Didn't Insurge in
Ohio.

The home state of President Taft
has furnished many interesting de-
velopments. Ohio politics have al
ways been of the live-wire sort. The
fact that Governor Harmon is a most
likely candidate for the Democratic
nomination has spurred on the Ohio
Republicans to get busy in a way
that nothing else could have done.
The State Convention at Columbus
was altogether one of the most in
teresting conventions of the summer.
There was large attendance of del
egates-something over a thousand
and they all wore badges and came
with the old-time spirit in the old
time way, when Mckinley and Han
ma and Foraker We're having their
great struggles for supremacy. The
hotel Hobbies were crowded, and ex-
element ran high, especially when
James r. Garfield, the son of a Pres
ident, threw down the gauntlet as
the champion of insurgency.
But the insurgency didn't insurge
long in Ohio. The response TO the
mention of the names of President
Taft and Senator Foraker shows why
Ohio has become indeed, mother of
Presidents" The loyal enthusiastic,
hearty and uncompromisinng follow
ing of Ohio men for their leaders has
long been a phase of American poll
tics not surpassed in any other state.
