a Record For Development.

Here is the record of a private
citizen who has done his work for
the past 20 years for the advance
ment of the state and the city he
calls his home:
Three years as president of the
Salem Commercial Club, during
which time constant fight was
made for the interests of the city
and the state
Three years as president of the
Willamette Valley open River Ass0-
citation, during which time hard
work was done to get a state appro-
priatiQn for the. Free Locks and
Canal at Oregon City, and the ap-
propriation was put through Con-
gress, under which the river will he
freed of corporation control and
that waterway OF western Oregon
will be opened to commerce and for
ever be a regulator of freight rates.
Two years service as president OF
the Oregon-Idaho Development Con-
gress, which held 10 conventions
across the state and called attention
OF the Hill and Hartman interests
TO the undeveloped condition of the
great central region of Oregon, and
as a result two trunk lines are
building across the state.
This work has been carried on
without a dollar of salary having
ever been paid to the man who did
1t, and II was carried on by putting
his newspaper back of his work and
giving hundreds OF pages to the
'camse of upbullding greater Ore
gon.
II is not pretended that the peo-
pile OF Oregon owe Col. Hofer an Of.
nee for what he has done, but ne
has right TO be considered a live
man among men, and a man who by
mis- works has shown that he loves
abe state which he has made his
home, and that In his hands the
honor and reputation of the state
and the pride OF its people in their
magnificent commonwealth would
not be allowed TO suffer at the hands
OF any interest or influence.

LAKE THAT
RISES AND
FALLS DAILY
BONNER LAKE, NEAR LAKE Ia
HOE, LOOKED UPON AS EN-.
CHANTED BY THE INDIANS.
STARTS TO HAVING REGULAR
TIDES.
UNITED PRESS InAsnD WIRE ]

Truckee, Calf, Aug. 13.-Mysti-
fed by the daily rise and fall of the
waters of Donner Lake, which sinks
several feet at night only to rush
back to its former level with the
sunrise, Investigators today began
soundings to determine the cause uf
the phenomenon. Complete appara-
tus has been received from Mare Is
land navy yard.
Donner Lake always has been the
subject of many strange legends,
since several score of immigrants,
snowbound and lost in the days of
40, perished on the shores of the
lake. The few VINO survived the
Donner disaster kept themselves
alive by devouring the flesh of their
comrades. These grisly tales have
been augmented by several nyster
ious drownings and in four instances
men camping upon the shores of the
lake have suddenly gone mad with
out warning.
The Indians look upon the lake as
evilly enchanted.

G. M, Orton, proprietor of the

asks to have printed after his name
on the ballot the words; Against
Assembly; for strict observance OF
primary nominations by electors"

against one of the center poles in
the uppermost point of the dome is
narrow platform. On the ground,
directly beneath It, is a curved skid.
three feet high and made of slender
strips Of polished birch wood. This
simple device is what prevents the
Frenchman from killing himself.
When Desperate takes his posi-
ton on the platform his head almost
touches the canvas roof. Just be-
fore taking the leap he leans far out
over the brink and bows his head.
His body sways forward. Spectators
sit on the edges of their seats and
hold their breath. There is no clap
trap about this thriller; no gloomy
structure to merely suggest danger.
The danger is present in this act.
A child can see it. In another in
slant the Frenchman's body is drop
ping with the speed of a bullet. A
death-like silence prevails. Hearts
beat violently. There is no time to
shudder. There is hardly time to
think 1t is impossible to avert the
eyes, for there is a CHASTITY fascina-
ton to the act that is commanding.
Then Desperate strikes the skid.
The audience gasp Che impression
of that instant is that at last Des-
perado has paid the penalty for his
rashness and will not live to do the
act again. But the audience has
made mistake. The Frenchman is
now standing unharmed by the skid,
smiling and bowing. The audience
RECEIVERS in another second. First
there are 10000 sighs of relief and
then a tumultous storm of applause
Desperado's act is not the only
thriller on the program. Jupiter,
the aeronaut, goes up in balloon
and descends in Niagara of fire
works. A beautiful girl sits in the
saddle during the perilous ride. One
of the members of the Siegrist-Sil-
bon troupe of aerialists sails across
the dome blind-folded, turns a dou-
BILE somersault and catches the
wrists of a comrade hanging head
down from a flying trapeze.
Another sensation is found in the
performance of Charlie the First,
chimpanzee, who is the greatest BIZ
cycle rider and acrobat in the worll.
He occupies one of the stages for
half an hour. His act is the Won
der of the age. From the great par
ade in the forenoon on through the
menagerie and the various exhibit
tions Of the day, this is a circus of
10000 wonders. Never in its 55
years history has it come forth with
so many startling surprises. The
performances here will be exactly
the same as those presented in Mad
ison Square Garden, New York City,
at the beginning Of the season.

RECORD FOR

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
WHO is A LIVE WIRE AND HAS
PUT OREGON TO THE FRONT.

Under the heading of Colonel
Hofer Does Things" a paper called
the Coos Bay Truth, once printed the
following article;
within the brief space of one
year the Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress has become a recognized
and potent factor in the progressive
sndustrial life of two states. For
its achievements, credit must be Civ
en- largely to Colonel e. Hofer, it's
president Regardless of any criti-
cism that may be directed at him
81 must be admitted Colonel Hofer is
a live wire. He is the kind that
can't let things drag. He does
things. He's a developer. Tom
Richardson has done great work
for Oregon. John Hartog has
brought Eugene prominently before
the public. They have been criti-
cised, but their work stands. The
state owes them much. In his Wig
orous campaign, Colonel Hofer may
have stepped on some toes; but Ire
has done an enduring work for two
states, and he has done 1t at the
sacrifice Of time and expense to him
self. Oregon and Idaho cannot do
n better thing than to employ Colo
mel Hofer, IL his services are to be
had, though the cost be $4,000 a
year, and keep him in the field "

to get a hair tonic of this sort was to

which was troublesome and not always
satisfactory. Nowadays almost every up
