HERE is THE PROOF.

Words are nothing compared with
actual demonstration. These columns
have, week after week, been telling
the telling has always been optimis-
tic. There was always reason fo4'
this. Evidence was not wanting to
convey such a feeling. Words often
lend encouragement, they also tell
story that may be full Of informa-
tion that could be turned to profit,
if needed. Some take advantage of
this, Others are skeptical and are
if the writer knows SO much. why
does he not take advantage Of his
knowledge and profit thereby AS to
that He is like the man who owns
number cf properties and can do
little or nothing; just like many an.
other. The information conveyed here
is for those who can profit by it. 1t
is not to be inferred that any one
knows more than another as to the
outcome of a venture. The evidence
OF observation, experience and re-
suits are factors in the deduction.
\ deliberate attempt to deceive by
initiating thing in the hope of gain,
could only be conceived by a Grim
inal. There is nothing but the strong

The yearly record is sufficient. But
more is offered to convince The
laGting nature of the veins has been
sung till the subject has become a
provcrb.
But rs said, nothing can convince
like results. The Miners are doing
remarkably well for "old timers. =
Like wine, they seem to improve
with age. And that is very apt for
what is here to be had. These old
mines merely needed a stimulent and
they would become rejuvinated. They
have been aided materially. They
have had the encouragement OF thei;
projenitors; then the tram has COM
to their very portals. Further. the bis
tunnel has drained them of watel
and enabled the ere to come out
more expeditiously.
But the best evidence of the per

has been the foreman of Attorney
Peterson and Is declared by him to
be exceptionally capable. He is a

energy and many stories are told of
his prodigious deeds. Farmers in the
neighborhood of the Peterson ranch
declare he can do more work in one
day than any two men in the county.
one man claims that he has known
the man to saw wood all night after
doing days work on the ranch and

GOOD POSITION
FOR ALBERT HALL

Albert d. Hall, formerly bootblack
at the Humphrey barber shop on
Court street and master 49, of many
tongues, bids fair to find employment
more suitable to a man of his singu-
lar ability than the polishing of mems
footgear. He returned this morning
from Pasco where he has been re-
Gently and reports that he has been
offered "a position as interpreter by
the American Life and Accident In
surance company of Portland of
which Lionel r. Webster is president.
His statement is verified by a letter
from the secretary of that company
asking him to name his terms for
travelling continuously with their So
licitors as interpreter. He has writ
ten them hSs terms of acceptance and
is now awaiting an answer.
Some few weeks ago the East Ore
gonian published a news story telling
of Halls adventurous career as a SOL
dier of fortune since he left his home
in the West Indies at the age of ten
years. 1t was stated that in his trav-
els he mastered the tongues of eight
different countries and was able to
express himself in a half dozen others.
This article was seen by the Portland
insurance company and the offer fol-
lowed.

Walter Gilman was last night lodg-
ed behind the bars of the county Jail
charged with stealing two horses and
a colt from William Joshua, full
blood Indian, and a peculiar feature
of the case is that he is the foreman
OF a ranch belonging to viii M. Peter
son, the most prominent criminal
lawyer in the county, and that one of
the stolen animals was located on the
Meacham ranch of Circuit Judge G..
w. Phelps. The theft occurred last
July and the officers have just sue
ceeded in locating the animals after
tracing them through several hands
back to Gilman. The arrest was made
last night but the man was released
on ba today through the efforts of
Attorney Peterson who needs his SER
vices badly in getting his tract of land
at Cayuse to fruit trees.
The officers claim they will have
no difficulty in proving that Gilman
had the animals in his possession
shortly after they were stolen but the
accused man declares he purchased
them from some immigrants passing

nous coal land holdings were pur-
chased and small railroads subsidiz-
ed. Officials assert that the Pennsyl-

OUTDOOR SPORT FOR GIRLS.
New System Being Adopted at Uni

University of oregon, Eugene, Ore,
March 2S.-Two hundred and twenty
freshmen and sophomore girls at the
university are now regularly taking
compulsory outdoor sport. Tennis is
the chief health giver. Quite a num-
Der of girls are learning also the art
Of handling the canoe under the tute-
lage of DR. Bertha Stuart, the physical
director of Women.
DR.. Stuart is now working hard on
the problem of securing an athletic
field for women. Six months of the
college year are good for outdoor
sports and Just as soon as an athletic
field can be secured, DR. Stuart plans
to have the girls work out regularly
at baseball, basketball, field hockey,
volley bal, tether ball and tennis. The
girls already have access to eight of
the university tennis courts. It is
hoped that the athletic field will be
available next year.
DR.. Stuart's work with the girls is
proving most satisfactory. Their
physical condition is much better than
1t has ever been before. which ac-
counts largely for the fact that their
scholastic standing is now set at a
higher mark. Fifty of the girls are
receiving special corrective treatment
DR.. Stuart has secured for her cor
roctive laboratory the Lovett Table
and the Lorenz Roller, which are two
appliances for the treatment of cur
vatures They are the first correc-
tive appliances of the kind on the Pa
