AT HIS OLD TRICKS.

1t now appears that Clifford Pin
ehot was trying TO- sip one over
as the saying goes, on the people OF
Alaska when he told the Seattleites
on his return from a recent trip to
that country, that he had fixed
matters up and the Alaskans knew
better now" with reference to their
former belief that the conservation
lists had tied up their coal deposits.
On the strength of that assertion
Seattle wined and dined the former
forester and sent him on his way
East rejoicing. When the Alaskans
heard of their action they waxed
wroth and the Fairbanks commercial
adopted stinging reso-
lutions denouncing the Seattle peO-
pie for their warm reception of
Pinchot and even threatened to boy
colt Seattle wholesalers.
1t appears that Pinchot didn't
make himself familiar with the pop
ulous centers of the Northern cOun-
try He kept away from the cities
and towns and spent his time in hik-
ng over the trails and camping along
he rivers and lakes. He looked at
he coal deposits and found them
magnificent and he beheld the timber
md called it grand. He related his
theories to the granite
ills and as they didn't object he
allied it unanimous and came back
nd patted himself on the back. He
ad showed the world that he wasn't
fraid to "visit the enemy's coun-
ry" and came back with stories of
is own regarding the trip.

Isn't ID peculiar that these straw
vote schemes conducted by newspa-
pers always turn out overwhelming
ly in favor of that particular news
paper? The Portland Journal has
just concluded one in which it is
found that LaFollette will sweep Or
egon by great majority over all
other possible candidates and that
President Taft is at the bottom of
the list. OF course the fact that the
Journal is a rabid supporter of the
man doesn't signify.

SHERIFF GUSTS TENANT
Writ of Ejectment Forces Occupants
of Dallas Hotel to Vacate on
Short Notice.

As a result of writ of ejectment
served by Sheriff j. M. Grant, Mrs.
L. A. Chipman, lessee Of the Dallas
Hotel, on the corner of Mill and
Church streets, was forced to vacate
the premises on short notice last
Saturday. The action taken is the
result of legal proceedings brought
by j. L. Brown, owner of the prop
erty, to obtain possession OF it. The
case was tried before Justice of the
Peace Hardy Holman, and judgment
was rendered in favor of the plain
tiff, Brown, for restitution of prop
erty and costs. A previous action
was commenced against Mrs. Chip
man, August 20, but bonds for ap-
peal were given and the matter was
taken into the circuit court.
The work of taking an inventory
of the furnishings, part of which
belonged to the Brown heirs, was in
charge of James Harris, represent
ing Sheriff Grant.
Henry Muscott, who has leased
the hotel, has moved in and has
started a thorough renovation. The
hotel will be completely refurnished
from one end to the other, and Mr..
Muscott hopes to be able to open it
% the public within a month.

The Lorimer investigation forms
one Of the strongest arguments in
favor of direct election of senator's
1t is said that the expense of the
investigating committee while in Chi
cago approximate $3.50 per day and
the end is not yet in sight. This
Investigation" has now been in
progress nearly two years and still
the Illinois senator retains his seat.
1t merely shows that there is a screw
loose somewhere in a structure Of
government which permits of such
procedure merely to prove
that a Senator was elected by cor
rupt means.

The movement started at the last
meeting of the Dallas Commercial
club for a proper exhibit of Polk
County pruneS and horticultural
products at the coming Horticultural
show in Portland, is a move in the
right direction. No opportunity
should be overlooked to display
Polk'S manifold advantages before
the world. That's boosting that
counts.

Dallas has received much adver-
tising, much of it in a more or less
sarcastic vein, anent the secret com
mittee Of the Commercial club and
its mandate ON soliciting schemes.
For the benefit of hundreds of en-
terprising book agents it may be
stated that the provision of the
committee doesn't apply to them.
The gates are still open to them and
to the representatives Of the Sun
set magazine.

It is to be hoped that Mobile is not planning to sell it's franchise to Little Rock.
 It is to be hoped that the statement of Mioue Finn that to negotiate the sale was the purpose of President Hervey's s recent visit to Little Rock was without Foundation.
 It is believed that the league would be snaterially injured were the change to occur.
 There are reasons why this is true.
 Mobile draws equally as well as Little Rock, and plays. on an average, just as fne an article of baseball. On this score therefore. the odds are even. -.
 Mobiles advantage is geographical. With Mobile included in the league, the league is compact. With Little Rock included the league stretches from Mars to Arr cano and halfway back again
 If Little Rock can afford to maintain rlub in the Southern league there Is no apparent reason why Mobile shouldn't be.
 Nobile Is lust as large as Little Rock, and it's people are equally as fond Of clean sport
 The Gulls have had a miserable season. 4rue enough, but there are always finer prospects in advance.
 ! Better days are coming soon. I There were a couple of exceptional games in the league yesterday afternoon. Chattanooga and Nashville played lo- lnning II tie It was pitchers battle between Benton and Case with honors even.
 Nashville led for several innings. In 4he eighth Chattanooga tied the score. For seven innings following neither side was able to approach the plate
 It was a battle royal.

 Atlanta handed two to Montgomery and one each to Birmingham and Nash- vile, Memphis bringing up the rear with three, against Nashville two and the Pelicans the other, 64 a,
 The fine team hitting of the Pelicans is best shown from the fact that in over 70 games they were only held runless in three, the last of which was handed them in Sundays game which went only six innings. Chattanooga is next in line witb 4, and Birmingham close up with B. .s
 Atlanta and Memphis each received a total of six goose eggs, Mobile and Montgomery eight each, with Nashville bringing up the rear with nine.

 Earle spent Monday and yesterday in Birmingham. He left last night for other fields. He was greatly impressed with the work of Jimmie Johnston and regretted to learn that he is the prop erty of the Chicago White Sox.
 "Otto Hess would make several major league clubs a rattling good man. said Earle, and so would Bert Maxwell. But when a scout sends a man up from the minors who has been up before, there Is at once an awful howl from the fans. And the scribes make fun of you, and as result, your work goes for. naught as a general thing.
