ing to the betterment OF conditions.
Having been an active member of
the railroad commission Governor
West knows of the work being done
by that body and he commends state
regulation OF the railroads. Having
been clerk of the state land board he
is informed regarding the state lands,
He makes one suggestion of particu-
lar interest. He proposes to estab-
lish state forest through using the
$4,000 acres of base" coming to the
state from the federal government.
Upon the surface at least this appears
to be meritorious scheme for II
looks to conserving what the state
has left in the way of lands. 1t is
only tobe regretted that the state has
not more than $4,000 acres of base"
coming at this time. Many state prob
lens would now be simpler and Ore
gon schools would be better provid-
ed with funds had not the machine
politicians of the past allowed this
state to be outrageously robbed of its
public lands.
Governor Vests recommendation
that the state printer be placed upon
a flat salary is a move in the inter-
est of economy. That is a reform
that should have been attended to
years ago. The fee system is a relic
of the dark age" in Oregon politics.
Taken as a whole the governors
message indicates that he is out to
give this state the best administra-
ton he knows how. 1t will be a re-
form administration and from ap-
pearances CRAFTS and political abuses
will not thrive well in Oregon during
the next few years.

GOVERNOR VESTS MESSAGE.

Governor Vests message to the leg
tslature is typical Of the man. He is
a progressive in politics and he is a
clean cut, vigorous man. In treating
Of political matters he upholds the
Oregon system and he asks for Iegis-
lstion in line with the progressive
thought of this state.
However the governor shows to best
advantage when he treats OF subjects
relating to the business welfare of the
state and of its people. He is thor
oughly at home there and his mes
sage contains some timely and SEN
sible suggestions. Having been a
banker he knows OF the weaknesses
in our banking system and he points
out one when he says that at this time
in Oregon the crooked banker is pro-
tected from the people but that the
people are not properly safeguarded
against the crooked banker. He
makes several recommendations look

SHE GOT EVEN.

Little Dorothy had been very

was exhausted.

I shall put you in a dark closet un-

Dorothy heard. but did not heed,
and before long her mother was OBJ
liged to administer the promised pun
ishment. She was placed in her
mothers clothes-closet, and the door
was tightly shut on her.
For fifteen minutes Dorothy re-
mained in durance vile. Then her
mother, hearing no sounds, and think
ing the little girl had time to become
penitent, opened the door. A very
red and defiant little face was turned
towards her.

CATARRH
SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE

Catarrh is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part OF
the system are involved. 1t is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because OF the sensi-
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, ETC., show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu-
cous membranes are badly congested
and inflamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all un-
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. 1t attacks

CAMP NOTES

Jack Lively is the only one OF the
recruit pitchers OF the Detroit CLUB,
who has cast more than one vote.
The other tall boys look like bunch
OF college athletes which, in fact, sew
eral OF them really are.
Though young Mitchell has been
pitching professional ball for five
years, he Is only 20 years old.
Joe Sugden Is a provident cuss. He
has a suit case full OF contracts which
he expects to use on athletes whom
he will want for his Newcastle club
in the O. & p. league.
Hughie Jennings is lighter than in
any prior spring but says he feels
better and has experienced less lame
ness.
When Clarence (HelpD Mitchell
was pitching for Cheyenne, Wyo.,
two years ago he weighed 1876 pounds.
Now he Is about 20 pounds shy that
figure but 10 all the better for II.
Hughie Jennings is inclined to
think that little John wuffli Is about
as likely to turn 100 yards in ten
seconds, as any young ball player
In OF recent years.
Hughie Jennings alleged operation
was merely bit Of ear-scraping. Jay
Kirk, however, went under the real
knife, when he had an liberated jaw

The Funniest Play That
Il. Jennings Ever Saw

MONROE, La, March 10.-When
Hughie Jennings mind ranges back
over it's long series of recollections
of the national game. and his per-
sonal experiences therein, there Il
one incident in particular that stands
out above even the stirring memories
of the Baltimore days. This occurred
one spring afternoon in Chicago
where, in the closing stage OF heart
breaking combat, with the score
long row Of ciphers on both sides,
Herman Schaefer, then the Tiger sec
ond-sacker. lifted one of Doc Whites
choicest into the bleachers for clean
home run, Detroit winning, to o.
Paul Revere had nothing on Her
man that day" recalls Hughie. The
famous ride that alarmed the patriot
host may have possessed some spec
tacular features but they really didn I
class, when compared to Schaef.
The minute he saw that ball faii
into the stand, Schaefer gave yell
that resounded far above anything
that was coming from the crowd or
the members of the Detroit club. he
was approaching first base at the
time. Accordingly, he dropped and
slid into the bag. He arose with a
quick, snappy motion, busted on mis-
uniform and tore for second. yelling
meanwhile with redoubled energy.
lie slid into second, rose, brushed
himself with a few rapid motions and
set sail for third which he reached
also by the medium OF thrilling slide.
Up he got and came home on the
final stage, making as much noise as
a runaway locomotive. Into the plate
he came shooting in another slide.
Then he got up and started TO
make q speech to the grandstand but
couldn't make himself heard on act
count of the laughter and din.

and the wonder was that, with my

to retire the Sox and win. making the
