TWO DOG OWNERS
ARE UNDER ARREST

Jim Dupuis and an Irish girl who
waits tables at the Greek restaurant
We're arrested this afternoon by Of
ficer Ed Stansberry for violating the
ordinance which relates to the keep
ing of dogs within the city limits. AS
City Attorney Roy ltaIey is at pres
ent in Portland, the cases could not be
tried this afternoon but were set for
O'Clock tomorrow.
These are the first arrests to be
made in the campaign being made to
compel all dog owners to purchase
licenses as provid IA by the city ordi-
nances as provided by the city ordi-
nance. Most of the delinquents have
been notified of the arrest which
follow any further delay on their
part and, in almost every case, they
have fastened to pay over the stipu-
lated amount. Dupuis and the Irish
girl, however, the officers assert, have
positively refused to purchase any IL
cense, the latter even going SO far as
to abuse the officers and threaten
them If they attempted to carry out
their expressed intentions.
Accordingly. Harry Hart, the dog
catcher, this afternoon swore out two
warrants and they were given to the
officer for service.
Hart last night secured the street
addresses of fourteen additional per-
sons who are keeping dogs on their
premises until the crusade is over and
these addresses have been turned
over to the officers who will COM
mence action at once.
The city authorities believe by this
time they have impressed upon the
public their earnestness in compelling
compliance with the dog law but are
ready to use, further measures to this
end if necessary.

causing a disastrous water front fire
when the boat was carried by the cur
rent from her moorings at the foot
OF Davis street to the proximity OF
the gas company's oil and gas tanks
at the foot of Everett street.
The damage to the vessel is ap-
proximated by the police at $4,000.
She is insured for that amount. but
j. NJ. Shaver, owner of the Shaver
transportation company, which oper-
ates the vessel in the towing trade
here, said this morning that the loss
was probably greater than this figure
as the fittings of the boilers and en-
gin.es had suffered irreparable damage,
as had also the electric lighting plant
The hull of the vessel was undamaged
except for being badly scorched in
side.
Owing to the headway gained by
the flames before their discovery by
Clyde Peteet, the vessels watchman,
several of the crew, who were asleep
in the after part of the ship, barely
escaped with their lives. None of
them were able to save any clothing.
Mrs. Alma Seeley, the ships cook.
who was asleep in one of the upper
cabins, made her escape to the deck
clad only in her nightgown. She left
the canary behind in her haste A
collie dog, which was thought to have
been caught in the flames, was dis
covered after the fire hiding under a
berth in an empty state room in the
forward part of the ship.

BAD BOYS DID NOT
SLAy ANY POLICEMEN

Although each had secured a gun
andthreatened to shoot any officer
who attempted TO arrest them, Willie
Ruper and George Howard, two IA
year-old boys, were taken into custody
this afternoon at O'Clock by Chief
Gurdane and Truant Officer John
Haley and they will be given a trial
next Monday.
The boys were taken up on the
complaint of Will Powell, who alleges
they have been stealing his fruit jars
and shooting his chickens. This is
not young Ruper's first offense, as he
has given the officers trouble for the
past few years and is pronounced by
them to be incorrigible. At one time
he stole a case Of eggs from the Alex
ander grocery and basket full of the
same merchandise from the same store
on an other occasion. And, II is al
legged, at another time he was engag-
ed in a systematic stealing of bottles
from the Northern Pacific freight de-
pot
One Of the boys was found at his
home on West Webb street and the
other one was in school when arrest
ed.

money was turned over to Public Ad-

nimity OF her genial host, now in
one of the happiest moods. Near
the drawing room door two men were
talking IN low tones, and as Elsie
passed one of them was saying: 81
heard Ventnor was hard hit today.
That drop in K. and z. must have
crippled him."
Elsie bit her trembling lips in an
angry effort to gain composure. She
/ hated herself for the lightning
thought that had connected Ventnor's
pecuniary difficulties with the pearl
cuff link and the missing emeralds.
In that instant she vowed to seek no
further for the thief The Halliday
emeralds must go.

Mabel Ormond In her ear. HAS any
thing gone wrong?"
Everything is lovely" smiled Elsie
brightly. How dear of you to give
me the rose roomv'
81 knew you were charmed with 1t
last year. All, katuru IS little late
tonight Rather unusual in our i'm
peccable japanese"
1t was not Harvey Ventnor who
took Elsie IN to dinner; she heard his
voice at the end of the procession as
she walked In beside young Fred Or
mond, Dicks brother. When she sat
down Ventnor was opposite, listening
attentively to the chatter of some
strange girl. Elsie's swift glance
noted his slightly disheveled appear
ance. and then she saw with q sink
ing of the heart that the sleeve link
was gone from one of his cuffs-the
left one. The other. plainly visible,
was Of pearl inlaid with gold.
VentnOr, watching her now and
then, seemed to be aware of her sud
den GOODNESS toward him. A hard
look settled around his pleasant lips.
and his sunny eyes clouded.
To Elsie it was a miserable dinner,
and 1T dragged to a tedious close while
her overstrained nerves seemed on the
point Of giving way altogether. She
resolved to plead illness and return TO
New York the next morning. Vent
nor's presence made it impossible for
her to remain.
After dinner she had fed to the con-
servatory for seclusion. and it was
there that Ventnor found her seated IN
0uSkY corner uIUeF dTCHlHS palms.
When she saw him she arose with
little frightened sob.

Immigration Falling OF.

That the falling off of immigration to
the United States from several coun-
tries is due to two causes, is the opin-
ion of James Bryce, author of the
American Commonwealth"
These causes are improvement in
conditions Of living in the old coun-
tries and increase in<the cost of living
in the new.
In many of the European countries
of late years efforts have been made
to stem the tide of emigration by max
ing the conditions at home more toler-
able for the working people, including
both those who work at agricultural
pursuits and those who are employed
at trades or as operatives in factor
les
The study of agriculture has been
encouraged and subsidized by the
governments with the result that in
terest has been stimulated and the
production of crops and the profits
of the business largely increased
through the application of scientific
methods. Even Italy, which has been
pouring upon our shores millions of
her population in late years. has taken
up the question of getting her people
back to the SOIL" and through the
agency Of government schools and in
stitutes. has been teaching them how
to make farming pay in their native
land.
However. there are many who de-
cline to take the view OF the question
held by Mr. Bryce, and declare that for
years to come we will continue to
draw largely from the population of
Europe.
AS an ultimate conclusion, however,
it must be seen by any one who uses
reasonable foresight, that the policy
of the future must be intensive cult
walton and well balanced production
rather than migration Of the human
race from place to place on account of
purely natural advantages.

Municipal Politics

AS summarized by the societies OF
the National Municipal league, the
new municipal idea is this:
It puts the emphasis on the good
of the city, rather than on the inter
est Of a party or q candidate.
Il requires that municipal AFFAIR."
shall receive due consideration on
their merits, without regard to irrele-
want questions. such as state or ma
tional politics.
1t insists upon directness of nomi-
nation, election and responsibility after
election.
It demands simplicity Of electoral
and governmental machinery. The
short ballot and responsiveness to the
public will; it therefore encourages
easy and intelligent voting, checks par
tisan and fractional denomination bg
giving control to voters-if they wish
to exercise IL.
It believes that thorough publicity
insures effective control.
It demands that efficiency and merit
shall be the sole basis Of all appoint
ments in a democracy.
1t demands concentration of author
ity and responsibility.
These ideas have been worked out
in the commission plan Of government.
II is magnificent in theory. II has
proved wonderfully practical in one
hundred cities which have tested 1t.
Now attention turns TO Rock Island.
Nothing this city has done has reflect
ed greater credit than adoption of the
commission plan. Other cities already

Adkins and English .

Some of the newspaper writer's are
making a desperate effort to prejudice
Speaker Adkins against that faction
IN the democratic house minority
headed by George w. English OF John
son county.
When the fight opened for minority
leader. the agents OF the wet Chicago
organization known as the United
Societies went 10 Springfield and with
out reason injected the irrelevant
wet" and dry issue into the minor
ity leadership fight. They even went
beyond that and were determined TO
put George Alschuler over as speak
err by means OF another bipartisan
combination with the wet and dry"
issue paramount.
Representative Alschuler WAS chos-
en- minority leader on that issue, but
he was not elected speaker.
The liquor issue was entirely out OF
place in that minority leadership. II
is out of place now. Speaker Adkins
has acted commercially in paving the
way for the naming Of two committees,
one to consider the wet legislation
and one TO consider dry legislation,
q
square deal. permit the measures TO
get TO the floor of the house for action
in the open and TO prevent the disrep-
utable smothering and blood poison
ing of bills in committee.
That should dispose of that one is
sue until such time as those measures
are up for consideration, as the Regis
ter says.
The present attempt to prejudice
speaker Adkins against Representa-
tive English and the latter's democrat
ic followers is obviously subterfuge.
Mr. English and his followers are en-
titled TO every reasonable considera,
ticn. They are entitled to and should
be given their Just proportion OF places
upon important committees, and We
believe that Speaker Adkins will see
TO II that they get what is coming TO
them and repudiate those who are try
ing eternaIly TO inject the irrelevant
