A DELUGE OF BOOKS.
ATLANTA Journal.)

iALldHld JOul IllAsJ
The years output Of books, accord
ing to the Publishers Weekly, will
amount TO more than 10000 separate
titles. Some of these editions, to be
sure. will number only few hun
dred copies, but many of them will
reach 100000. Volume by volume,
the production would easily stretch
from Tybee Light to the Golden Gate
and back again.
Surely we live in a land and in an
age Of great writing, if not great lit
erature OF most significance, how
ever, is the fact that this is an age of
vast reading. Back in the stage-coach
days of Fielding one novel would last
month or several months. Its char
acters were the daily companions Of
readers who took their fiction as leis-
urely as they took it seriously. once
they got hold of charming heroine
they were loath to tell her. good-by
and a downright, hair-raising william
would be good for many long weeks.
Books were longer then than now, and
this in part accounts for the fact
that few of them would go around.
BESIDES InlS, nOWeEeT, iedoeiS "ci0
amazingly fewer and most of those
read sparingly.
Today everybody reads and. accord
ing to the record of the output it
would seem that nearly everybody
is writing Add to the publications
that come In stiff backs, that well
nigh innumerable troop Of lighter
bodied entertainers, the magazines
and weeklies. and it is almost incon-
ceivable whence they come and
where they go.
Though the greater part Of such
work will vanish like butterflies,
while 1t Is here 1t serves purpose
and from such a mass Of effort there
must emerge sooner or later books Of
enduring power.

AN EXPLANATION.

Because of a very simple typo
graphical error on some Of the bal
lots made in this county yesterday
great tadoo was made by certain
people. An attempt was made to
cast discredit upon the East Oregon
ian because the ballots were printed
by the job work department Of this
paper.
The simple facts regarding this
error are as follows: Upon one of
the three forms used in printing the
ballots a line or rule was left out
that should have been inserted be-
tween the Yes and the No following
the Eastern Oregon normal school
measure. So an error appeared in
one third Of the ballots. Il vas not
grave error. The mistake was z
very natural one and it was over
hoked By the proof reader in the job
department Of this paper and also
b. County Clerk Frank SaIng as
1. always required a proof sheet Of
the ballot was furnished the county
clerk for approval That proof sheet
bears Mr.. saling's o. K This ex-
PLANTATION is not made to involve the
county clerk but merely to show that
the error went through several hands
without being discovered.
The charge that the error was in
tentional upon the part of any one
is ridiculous. The affair did not be-
come known to the editor or to the
business manager Of this paper until
nearly noon yesterday.
The motive back Of this latest at
tack upon this paper is SO plain as to
need but little explanation. The men
making that attack hate the East
Cregonian because it has staunchly
defended the normal school while
they have been stabbing it in the
back.

HENRY CLEW'S VIEW.

Writing under date of November 5,
Henry Clews, the financial critic
closes his review with the following:
In the general business situation
there is little change. Confidence has
received considerable stimulus from
the fact that the farmers are having
another good year, but in nearly all
departments Of industry there is a
spirit of hesitation which still keeps
the volume Of business below a year
ago. The question Of cost continues
TO be the great problem In all lines
Of business. not only among consum-
ers. but equally with producers and
distributors. Many staple articles of
commerce have shown a declining
tendency which Is hopeful, and sug-
sests that the country IL on the way
To readjustment. Declining prices
do net usually stimulate business un-
til II is felt settled level has been
reached. AZ soon a. this II realized

WHY NOT YOU?

II were voice, a persuasive voice,
That could travel the wide world

And speak to men with a gentle

And tell them to be true.
I would fly, I would fly over land

Wherever a human heart might be,
Telling a tale or singing a song,
In praise of the right, in blame OF

I'd fly on the wings Of the air;
The homes of sorrow and guilt I'd

be encouraged, as that is the surest
way Of restoring equilibriums and re-

The technical position Of the stock
market is strong. Securities are con-
cenrated in strong hands, and un-
favorable conditions appear to have
been fully discounted. In some re-
spects the situation is favorable to
tUlfsa manipulation. and while the
general outlook is not in all respects
as satisfactory as could be desired,

one that reuires caution in speculative

ALL FOR THE ROUNDUP.

The Roundup next fall will be a
great success if the enthusiastic meet
ing held at the Commercial club
rooms last evening is any criterion.
For the annual stockholders meeting
the club rooms were packed and
every man present was interested in
the proceedings. Yet while all had
suggestions to offer and there exist
ed differences of opinion as to the
various problems that are up a gener-
al spirit of harmony prevailed. This
augers well for the Roundup.

that one of the healthiest run of yell
lowtail ever recorded at that resort is
now on tap, and everyone with a piece

SANFORD ADVISES
CHANGE IN RULES
Veteran Yale Athletic Critic Is in
Favor of Reducing Required
Distance on Gridiron

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.--GeOrge Foster
Sanford, the veteran Yale athletic ad-
wiser, who had a good deal to do with
building up this years Yale eleven, is
convinced the football rules committee
has much work to do before another
season rolls around if the needs of the
game are to be considered.
In his opinion some changes in the
code are absolutely essential. Mr.. San
ford will sail for Europe tomorrow.
His statement on the subject comes
as valedictory expression of opinion,
as he will not return before the rules
committee begins it's annual task of
revision.
"I am opposed to the forward pass
over the line of scrimmage," he said,
s'The most important change / would
recommend is that the distance to be
gained by rushing be reduced from ten
yards to seven. ] think the runner
should be allowed to tack on to one
player in hitting the line in order to
equalize to some extent the defense.
L object to pushing and pulling be-
cause of injury, and this would be
eliminated by the rule.
1.-The reduction Of ground to be
gained by rushing will make possible
a reasonable reward for rushing and
thus restore one Of the basic principles
of the American college game"

SPORTING GOSSIP

with the gallery and makes business
good at the box office because of a
widespread desire of the fans to be
there when he gets his. In Frayne
the one round kid will have plenty of
chance to try himself out over the
long route, for Johnny has fought lots
of the good ones, and as rule gave
a good account of himself.
Charley Norvall, the Los Angeles
lightweight, who knocked out Jack
Clifford in two rounds and who boxed
Johnny Thompson ten rounds, says he
is on the war path again and would
like nothing better than to get match
with Anton LaGTave. Norvall says he
will box LaGrave at any weight Anton
names and arrange terms to suit An
ton, if some club makes an offer for
the boys.
Either astute Baron Long has gone
dippy over Montana Dan Sullivan or
else the boy is some fighter Longs
willingness to bet a thousand on the
boxers chances with Jim Flynn shows
there is something to Sully, for the
baron is not given to making mistakes.
In all probability the fans will be
treated to a nice bout when the men
get together, for Flynn has always
given them a run for the money, and
Sullivan may be a regular bear cat.
AT least that thousand talks like it.

STILL GOING
IN ENDURANCE CONTEST
Finishes 800 Miles in Good Time
and Declares Confidence
to Complete Task

VENICE, Dec. 2.-Eugene Estoppey
ran his three hundredth mile at 8
o'clock tonight in his attempt to run
1000 miles in 1000 hours. This distance
is half that covered by the last man
who attempted the freak endurance
race in the east several years ago.
With nearly thirty days yet to run,
Estoppey still declares his confidence in
his ability to complete the race and win
a purse of $1,000. He considers his con-
dition excellent, denying any feeling OF
exhaustion from the grueling race.
By running one mile at the beginning
of each hour night and day Estoppey
expects to complete the 1000 miles at
midnight December 81. The runner
went his three hundredth mile in 1
minutes 81 seconds.

FLYNN N-SULL|VlN
BOUT IS ASSURED
Manager MCCarey Is Willing to
Stage Affair by New Years
if the Principals Agree

1t looks very much like a match be-
tween Jim Flynn and Montana Dan
Sullivan. After being approached yes
terday regarding the bout, Promoter
McCarey declared his willingness to
put the affair on at Vernon before
many days have rolled around, and the
fans are practically assured of seeing
a twenty-round bout between the bat
tiers.
The match is hanging fire only be-
cause of the date and the side bet.
Baron Long, manager of Sullivan, has
expressed a desire to wager thousand
bucks on his man. and Flynn yesterday
said that suited him all the way
through. kilograms last night ap-
prised Long Of this, and he undoubted-
ly will wire down his end of the fin
ances today.
While Sullivan is not exactly stran-
ger here, his chief boost will be the ex-
preston of confidence shown by his
managers money. Long is known as
mighty shrewd investor and already,
even while the match is still in ten
tatiVe shape, many who would other
wise be playing Flynn straight, place
and show are kind of dubious.
Not only will the fans be treated to
such a nice bout as the Flynn-Sullivan
affair should be, but they are also due
to get another dainty little tidbit. Yes
terday the local ring magnate was in
formed that Young Rivers had changed
his mind and was willing to travel a
twenty round route with anyone Sc
Iected. This means that Danney Web
ster will be chosen to give the young
ster his first taste of main event stuff,
and the pair will meet some time with
in the next three weeks. Despite Web
ster's Thanksgiving showing, a good
mill is In prospect, for Rivers has been
showing all kinds of class and is not
apt to fit in with the Charlie White
class.
