OF WAR
TELLS STORY ON SELF

Washington, June 1G.-Secretary
Of War Stimson is telling the follow
ing story on himself, since his
horseback trip the other day with
Maj. Gen Wood, his chief Of staff,
into Virginia, to the camp Of the en-
gineer and cavalry forces stationed
near Washington. -
Gen. Wood and the secretary rode
out to the camp, where they were
received with much attention. The
officers came up to pay their re-
spects and upon looking at their in
sigma, Secretary Stimson, who is a
member of squadron A." the crack
militia cavalry organization of New
York discovered that the cavalry
men he was meeting belonged to the
same regiment, the Fifteenth, with
which his militia organization had
been detailed during the maneuvers
at Manassas, Va, in 1904. Among the
officers, Secretary Stimson discover
ed to his glee, several whose horses
he had held while serving as a pri-
vate in the militia ranks at these ma
neuvers.
Though the secretary of war has
since risen to the rank of lieutenant
in squadron A, and Is forever relieved
of the duty of holding officers horses
he declared it was worth it in the
pleasure of meeting the 18th cavalry
men in his new position.

NJ 'M|NNv|LLE TO
AID THE SETTLER
BIG FARMS WILL BE
MADE SMALL TRACTS
Stock Company Composed of Lead
ing Citizens VIII Sub-Divide the
Land and Plant IL to F'ruit-Known
as McNinnyille Plan.

Portland, Or, June 17.-(SpeciaD
People Of McMinnville have formed
a plan for aiding the settlers in Yam
hill county that has originality and
will doubtless be Of great benefit in
getting people on the land. Cooper
alton between the various interests Is
the fundamental idea of the new
scheme and it is believed it will work
successfully.
The land owner, who holds a large
farm, will put his land in the hands
of a stock company, composed Of
leading citizens, who will subdivide the
land into small tracts plant it to fruit
and care for 1t until the orchards
come into bearing. A nursery COM
pany supplies trees for planting the
tracts and a selling agency handles
the placing of the land and disposes
of 1t to settlers.
This will be known as the McMinn-
vile plan and 1t will be operated un-
der the name of the Yamhill county
Improvement and development COM
pany. Land will be put into the pro-
ject at its fair value and the soil will
be tested and put to proper uses,
while it is promised an equitable
price will be charged for the tracts
1t is desired by those behind the
plan to bring about the transforma-
ton of the big farms of Yamhill
county into smaller tracts, with den
ser population and improved rura
conditions. 1t is believed the method
outlined above will bring this about
for 1t will lend helping hand to the
newcomer and save him from the un'
| scrupulous and irresponsible lant
shark, who frequently operates to th'
disadvantage of the settler and con
sequent loss to the community.
| Satisfied settlers are the best asse
for Yamhill county, and 1t is though
| the new plan will be one which viii
safeguard their interests. At a meet
ing held in McMinnville recently thu
plan was thoroughly talked over ant
the method agreed upon. However
details remain to be worked out ant
| this will be done later.

Rodents from Their Holes.

New Rochester, n. Y.-For the
first time in fifty years the city hall
of New Rochelle is free of rats. and
all the officials here have rendered
thanks to 11-year-old Harrison Lee,
mulatto boy. who was taken from his
home in Baltimore by two negro pool
sharks" and deserted here two weeks
ago. Harrison has been kept here
until word could be received from
Baltimore.
\ few days ago he watched the
city hall cats Intellectual attempts to
catch rats. Rigging up a fishing
tackle baited with cheese, he poked
it down the rat hole and for three days
fished for rats. He caught sixty
seven rodents of all sizes and ages
until yesterday one big fellow stole
bait, hook, sinker, line and all.
Last night Harrison placed a large
piece of lmburger cheese near the
rat hole and waited with club. About
l O'Clock in the morning the rat ap-
peared and Harrison finished him.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

By local appliances, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that IL
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when It IL
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever I:
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi.
tlon OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

here in a position where only small
shipments can be expected. With cat
tie selling at good prices in the big
California markets, shipments from
that state are no longer coming to
this section unless prices are guaran-
teed. Recent shippers from these
claim to have lost considerable money
on their supplies and as there re-
mains a market about as high as
Portland at San Francisco and Los
Angeles, the smaller freight charges
to those points force a discrimina-
ton against shipments to Portland.
A year ago at this time California
was freely offering cattle to the
Portland trade at our own prices, but
this season. while the local market
IL higher than then, a greater i'm
proyement has been made in country
point values. The same seems to be
true of Idaho and other nearby
points.
At Chicago today there was a strong
tone in the cattle market, with no
change in prices. At South Omaha
the trade was steady, with steers at
$5.S5 a go and cows at $4.50@ $50.

DENrIsTRY-oLD AND NEW

Dentistry, though considered peculiar ly modern, has been found highly devel- oped in the past. Actual specimens of ancient dentistry may be seen in various European museums. The most interest," ing of these sepecimens, because the old est is a Phenician example of bridge work found in a tomb at Sdon. The specimen is now in the Louvre at Paris and consists of a part of the upper jaw of a woman with the teeth united by gold wire. Two of them are transplanted teeth fastened in by gold wire. In the museum of Corneto (which was the ancient Tar quinii, the capital of the Etruscen fed eration) may be seen number of marVe- lous specimens of dental work of the sixth and seventh centuries before Christ They consist mainly of bridgework done b yrivetad bands of metal. One of them supported three artificial teeth. two of these artificial teeth being made out of single OK tooth grooved to initiate rather closely two human teeth. In the laws of the 12 tables written in Rome 450 B. C., while it is expressly forbidden to bury gold ornaments with bodies.
 
 which the teeth may perchance be bound together. The Museum of Pope Julius at Rome contains "a gold cap made of two small plates of gold stamped out to rep resent rather closely a middle lower in cisor and these two pieces soldered to- gether to form the crown of a tooth" The satiric poets of Rome, especially Martial, refer frequently to artificial teeth, says The Journal of the American Medical Association in an entertaining of an old woman who was so scared that as she ran away her teeth fell out. In one epigram he answers the question why one woman's teeth are dark, while an- others are white though both are of the same age, by saying that one of them buys her teeth, while the other has her own. The Romans had a number of diff ferent kinds of dentifricesy and took great care of their teeth. Galen describes d form Of pastille containing aromatics and omum that might be used as tooth ache gum. The filling of teeth with va rious kinds of metal is described by Gel sus, though the first sure reference to gold filling does not occur until about the middle of the fifteenth century. The transplantatlon of teeth, especially from the mouths Of slaves into those of their mistresses, seems to have been practiced rather commonly in the early days of the Roman Empire.

WILLING TO HELP KrpLrNG

From the Washington Post
 A certain senator is an expert on min ing law, but is not up on literature Some time ago he introduced bill for the relief of a gallant union soldier, named Mulvaney. Presently an eastern colleague went over to him.
 T am very glad you introduced that bill," he remarked. ''Mulvaney and l ara old friends"
 "Is that so?" responded the western statesman. q am pleased that you take an interest in him, and l hope that you will vote for the bill. I don't know him myself, but he has been highly recommended to me and it seems to be a most deserving case"
 Yes" said the wicked colleague, warmly. 'Mulvaney is the best fellow that ever lived, lively, fighting, big hearted, lovable, humorous Irishman. You will be surprised to know how often I have spent the days and nights with him in camp and how much l en- joyed it. By the way" he added, T have another friend you ought to know His name is Kipling-Rudyard Kipling"
 Never heard of him." said the sen ator from the west, as he turned away, but if you are going to introduce bill for his relief let me know. I'll help you all can"

SEEDS OF sNoBBERY

William Bayard Hale, the Worlds Work
 for January.
 If, visiting Princeton, you will proceed to the top of a street known as Prospect avenue, and pass down it, you will see something which probably is not parai- leled in any seat of learning in the world Prospect avenue is lined by club houses, 12 of them, with handsome buildings, beautiful lawns, and tennis courts. Their aggregate value must be much more than $,000,0O0 The clubs house, on an aver age, 30 members each-15 juniors and 15 seniors, about $50 in all, juniors and seniors alone being eligible. Another 800 members of those classes can get into no club. Freshmen and sophomores can only look forward to admission to them and what of the 300 young men who have not been able to make one of them? They feel themselves ostracized and humiliated, and the seeds of social bitterness are sown in their souls. There is no provI- sion for them outside of common board ing houses. In the words of President Wilson, the side show had swallowed up the circus. Nothing could be more un- American; nothing could be more opposed to the true principles of education.

Memphis and Atlanta

At night" said Marion Allen yesterday morning, Memphis presents a fine ap- pearance. At first sight, one feels that it has decided advantage over Birming- ham.
 And Atlanta, with it's narrow streets and tall buildings, impresses one with a belief that it is bigger than Birmingham and of more cosmopolitan proportion
 But when you wake up and realize that Birmingham stretches almost across the imperial county of the south, that it contains 50 square miles of territory, and that from this district more freight origi- mates than from the entire state of Geor- ga, the facts in the case become appar- ent. Then with feeling of pride, we ap- preciate the fact that Birmingham IS head and shoulders taller than it's neigh bors. A liitle more get together spirit in Birmingham will make this city the un rivalled metropolis of Dixie within the next score Of years"

MT. Harriman's Contributions

The much-trumpeted letter of George Sheldon to Colonel Roosevelt is not very illuminative. The sum that MT. Hartman raised, $160,OOO, just before election day did, said Mr. Hartman, turn at least 50,000 votes in the city of New York" The Sheldon letter aims to show that this money was spent to get votes for Mr. Higgins, the republican candidate for governor. Let this be admitted for the moment. Does this change the situation a particle? A vote secured in the slums for Higgins would natur- ally be a vote for Roosevelt, as all know who know the situation on the east side in New York. All the par ties who handled that fund are dead. MT. Sheldon was then an outsider, and he knows no more about it than any other politician of New York.
 The Hartman disclosure was made in April, 1907, and in less than a year a suit under the Sherman law was brought against the Union Pa
