THE "TRAVESTyv OF 1910.

II is a monstrous travesty of politics
that Charles +. Murphy should have any
thing whatever TO say about the choice
Of Senator.-New York Times.
II may seem a little uugtacious TO
invade the chamber OF grief and analyZe
too closely the lamentations which issue
therefrom. Anguish has logic of Its
own. Yet making all allowances for the
workings Of mind wrestling with 4
rooted sorrow. it is still permissible t0
ask what basis therS is In reason for
"rhe Timess' complSint because Mr..
Murphy is exercising a prerogative which
1t did its utmost in the last state cam
paign TO thrust upon him. If 1t Is a
''monstrous travesty of politics that the
Tammany boss should he using bis
power to name n Senator. was il not an
equally 'mOnstrous travesty of politics
for "The Times to do what it could TO
persuade the voters of this state 10

published dispatches from Rochester an
nouncing that Mr.. Murphy held the last

low of his hand 1t did not deceive
itself as to his dictatorship. 1t accept

ernor whom he selected. and threw ltsell
with ardor into the campaign TO eject
Democratic state officers and Demo-
cratic Legislature. 1t signlfied its Will
ingness to accept Mr.. Murphy's leader
shin In state as well IS city politics, ana
it supported without qualm the leglsla-
tive ticket which Mr.. Murphy put up
In Greater New York, though IL must
have realized that after the election he
would absolutely control the action OF
his henchmen.
1t NAV be thai The Times had no
idea that Democratic Legislature
would be chosen. But it must have fore
seen. from the fact that Mr.. Murphy
would probably control more than half
of any Democratic majority which might
be sent to Albany. that in such case lie
would be the chief factor In choosing q
United States Senator. The election fully
justified such forecast, for OF the
eighty-siX Democrats elected 10 the
lower house forty-nine were chosen III
the counties of New York, Kings and
Queens. and of the twenty-nine Demo-
81 iV1t wore
chosen in the same counties. Tammany
Hall Is supreme IN this county and IN
Queens. and dominates Kings through a
fipurehead successor to Patrick III. Nc
Carren. Having been vested by the
Democratic voters with authority to dc
tate the choice Of Senator, why should
Mr.. Murphy not be expected to use II!
II would be a freak of politics If he
should renounce his prerogative in favor
Of "Thc Times" or some other outsider.
We fear that the "travesty' in the
case consists chiefly IN Mr.. Murphys de-
termination TO follow his own counsels
and reject those of THE Times lie

Cleveland Fans Like HarkneSS' Form.

The following clipping from a Cleve-
land, Ohio, paper concerning "Spec"
Hardness, we'll known in this citv and
who was formerly member of the
Portland baseball aggregation, will be
of interest to his many friends here:
Spec Hardness looked like the
Spec of old when he loosened up his
arm today. No one was more pleased
than Jim Mcclure. why, Spec"
showed more today than he did during
the whole training trip down here last
year, said jim. When ! picked him
up on the coast in 1909 he looked like a
worldbeater. Last spring, and, for
that matter, during the entire season,
his arm seemed to be bound up. 1t did
me lot of good to see the action in
that arm this afternoon. There was
the free, easy motion which he had
while pitching on the coast. %
" Lefty Gregg turned on the steam
for a few minutes this afternoon. If
Jim had been present at the time he
would probably have put damper on
Gregg. 1t all happened because of the
fact that the players could not wait
until the usual time to start for the
field in the afternoon. The schedule
calls for the players to leave the hotel
at $50 o'clock. Most of them were on
the field at that time, with Gregg
among them. The big boy got into:the
box and burned them over. Judging
from the antics of some Of the bats
men, Lefty had something to show.
When Mcclure arrived Gregg was soon
sent to another part of the field. This
was the first time that Gregg has
attempted to use any speed, He did
not cut loose, but what he did, send
seemed to be puzzling.

Surveyors Notice.

To Whom 1t may Concern:
In making correct survey of any tract
of land, it is often necessary to run 9th.
er lines, establish other corners, and in
some cases to re-suryey entire exterior
Of a section. 1t is not fair to make
charge for Huch work against any one or
two men. Therefore, the law provides
that il the owner or owners of one or more
tracts of land shall desire permanently
to establish the corners and boundaries
thereof, he or they shall notify the
county surveyor to make survey
thereof and establish such corners and
boundaries. The further provision is
made that the county surveyor shall
apportion the costs Of the survey among
the land owners whose lines or corners
will be affected according to their re.
spective interests.
Therefore, if one or more persons in
any section wish to take advantage Of
this plan, shall be pleased to send
him or them the proper forms.
This arrangement gives permanent
lines and corners and proportions
charges among all owners benefited
thereby, giving a precise and legal sur
yey at small cost.

.PITIABLE PLIGHT
OF AGED COUPLE

A telegraphic communication re-
ceived here last week from the Port
land Board of Charities by Marshal
Lewis revealed the pitiable plight of
an aged couple from Michigan who had
taken advantage of the colonists rates
to join relatives in this state. Failing
in their expectation Of being met at
the Rose City passenger station and
having no funds the old people applied
to the United Charities Of that place,
who on learning that they had a
daughter, Mrs. Emma Davis, who was
supposed to be living here, wired
Marshal Lewis to locate her and notify
her of her parents distress. Although
the daughter was not located the aged
pair decided to come to Hood River
and conduct a search of their own.
They left Portland on foot and reached
Troutdale last Friday, when the wife
was unable to continue the Journey
further because of exhaustion. A
message was received here from the
Troutdale authorities stating the fact
and Marshal Lewis sent the two rail
road ticket to this place. However, on
reaching here they were made to
realize the futility of continuing the
search for their daughter and money
was given them for railroad fare to
The Dalies, where they hope to locate
friends from Michigan.
