Miss Graham herself was announced
Miss Graham's coming was due to
an occurrence of the afternoon before
when Rosalie had come to her in

rose with solemn dignity:

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Brereton we're il
a state of anxiety bordering on hys
terra. Their only child, the prett.
Rosalie, had fallen in love with al
unknown young man who had, few
months ago, moved into their neigh
borhood.
There were a number Of eligible
youths in Beverly, any one Of whom
would have considered himself onl!
too fortunate could he have become
the son-in-law of the Breretons-
youths that one knew all about, ant
whose incomes could be calculated
with great nicely.
Jack Chandler was an artist, ant
lRosalie's parents believed artists tt
be a poor, undependable lot. Then
too, not much more was known o.
Miss Graham, the aunt with whom
Chandler lived. The best people h
Beverly had called, and their civilitJ
had met with prompt and proper re
turn, and there things had ended
Miss Graham, it was rumored, was 6
woman of literary tastes, and indeed
was supposed to be writing novel.
1t was dreadful to think dear Ros
allie should be associated with such 6
bohemian class-but what were they
TO do? Chandler and their daughter
were both of age and unfortunately
Rosalie had little money in her OWL
right All that was left for them was
to try the effect of direct appeal tc
Miss Graham to see If by any possibil
ity she could do anything. 1t was
possible that after they had diplomat

had intimated how very slim was
Rosalie's fortune, she might order the
weakling Of an artist to withdraw his
suit. Rosalie could then be taken tc
New York for couple of weeks an6
all would be we'll.
The plan offered many objections
and gave but little promise of success
but neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Breretor
could think Of anything else, and they
were not the kind in such an emer
gency to sit and fold their hands.
On this special afternoon they
dressed with elaborate care for their

WOULD RECALL WEST.
Liquor Interests in Portland Sound
ing Public Sentiment.

Recall of Governor Oswald West
has been suggested by some of the
liquor interests of this city, and
Monday several of the most active
workers were busy sounding senti-
ment to determine what success
might attend the effort. 1t could
not be learned whether the leaders
in the liquor and brewer associations
sanctioned the movement, but the
impression was that the forces of the
liquor dealers and brewers we're
ready to start something, if they
found they had any fair prospect of
giving the governor trouble.
In the preliminary arguments it
was said that the governor would be
attacked on the grounds of non-en-
forcement of important laws of the
state, and because of his usurpation
of the powers vested in subordinate
officials elected by the people. Just
what exact form this argument
would take was not indicated, nor
what specific charges of dereliction
of duty would be preferred, but the
conversation heard bore upon capi-
tai punishment and upon the situa-
tion in Portland where the governor
is now in conflict with the district
attorney, sheriff and police
So far as could be learned, the
talk has been confined to liquor
dealers, who feel that the governor
has been centering his fire upon
them and the lines of business af-
fected by liquor sales. They sug-
gested that popular sentiment would
be quickly aroused, in view of the
atrocity at Eugene, and the whole
liberal element of Portland which
desires town inclining strongly to-
ward the open, would probably be in
line to unseat the governor.

AUTHORITIES SEARCH HOME.
LOunsberry Premises Thoroughly In.
spected BY Postal Inspectors.

In the search of the Wells Louns-
berry home by postal inspectors Mon
day, jewelry alleged to have been
stolen from the registered mails was
confiscated by Federal Officers Tenn
pie and Perkins, acting under the
rights of a search warrant. Neigh
bors assert that three small bags of
jewelry were taken away from the
house. The postal authorities have
list of all the jewelry stolen from
the mails, with the names of the
owners, and the articles taken from
the orchardist's home will be identi-
fled. The inspector and his assist
ants denied that a search had been
made.
The investigation was thorough.
After Mrs. Lounsberry left Friday
for the bedside of her wounded mate,
Mrs. Stratton, a neighbor straight
ened the house. She left a ring on
the window sill, and Monday asked
for its return. She was told that the
ring had been found and that il
would be returned in due course oil
time.
1t is also understood that a search
was made of the books and accounts
of Lounsberry and that correspond
ence was taken. From this, much OF
the past of the bandit is expected to
be learned. Lounsberry imagined
himself secure in his nome, away
from the whirl, and in his home did
not cover up his tracks with the cum.

craft.
The part that Mrs. Lounsberry
played in the criminal role of hel

WIRELESS SWINDLER DIES.
Former President Wilson Passes
Away i'm Federal Prison.

Atlanta, Ga.-Colonel c. c. Will
son, CT years old, former president
of the United Wireless Company,
died Sunday night at the United
States penitentiary here, while he
was serving a three-year sentence for
using the mails in an attempt to de-
fraud. Uraemic poisoning was given
as the cause of the colonel's death.
Colonel Wilson was stricken while
reading in the prison library. Peni-
tentiary officials said he had been in
good health up to Sunday.
The colonels young wife, to
whom he was married just before his
conviction, little more than a year
ago, has been notified. Colonel Will
son began serving his sentence on
August %, 1911. He was taken to
New York last May by one of the
prison guards to testify in bankrupt
cy proceedings instituted against the
United Wireless Company. Several
postponements of the case necessi-
tated his being held in New York for
more than a month, and it became
known that the guard was allowing
him a great deal of personal liberty
during that period. Instead of being
kept in the Tombs, he was permitted
to stay in private house. On one
occasion, it is said, he was seen near
his former haunts in Wall street.
The department of justice took no.
tice of these reports and instituted
an investigation. The guard was
! dismissed, and early last month Will
son was returned to the Atlanta
prison.

YONCALLA RECALLED.
Lounsberry Came From North Two
Days After Bold Robbery.

That Wells Lounsberry came south
shortly after the Yoncalla train rob-
berry is a statement of w. H. Stewart,
neighbor. Lounsberry got off the
train at Phoenix, south of Medford
and boarded a motor and rode to
Central Point north of Medford
thus doubling on his trail. He ex-
planned that he had oversight. After
telephoning to his house and finding
out that his wife was not at home
he walked out of Central Point to
the home of a farmer where Mrs
Lounsberry was visiting, and ther
walked with her back to Central
Point to his home, all the while car
rying valise.
Lounsberry carried his valise out
of Central Point and back again and
then out to his home, when he might
have left it and saved considerable
labor.

MOLES AND GOPHERS.
Problem of determination of Pests
Not Simple.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore,-That it is no simple
| task to get,rid of gophers and moles
/ and other rodents is the opinion of
A. l.. Lovett, pest expert at the Ore
gon Agricultural College. He be-
lieves it is necessary to use a COM
bination of treatments than any one
system.
I'm most cases one will have very
good success during the early part of
the fight with the poisoned bait.
Fumigation with carbon-si-sulfid
gives very good success in newly
| formed burrows of the pocket go
pher. This method is used extern
sively through the middle west on a
commercial scale and over large
fields. Where the application fails
it is usually due to the very extended
underground burrows which occur in
fields long infested. The carbon-si-
sulfid is used at the rate of three to
six ounces to each pocket. Satdrat-
ing dry horse manure and working
this down into the burrow is a very
good method of application. The
material may be poured slowly into
the hole direct. After treating the
hole, cover it thoroughly to hold in
the fumes. Always bear in mind
that carbon-si-crystal of strychina
sulphate is very inflammable. Do
not open it near a hot stove, nor
smoke while making the application.
when the numbers of pests are

become wary of such methods, and
then possibly the trap will be about
the only way that you can catch
them. After the traps cease to be

usually keep them down pretty well
This pest usually appears above
ground at certain hours of the day
and can be shot very readily.
There are two methods of pre-.
pairing the poisoned bait. One con
sists of simply using pieces of carrot
or potato or even raisins. Make an
incision in each piece and slip in a
crystal of strychina sulphate. The
burrow should not be left uncovered
in the case of pocket gohprer; simply
scrape away the surface soil to ex.
pose the tunnel; the bait may ther
be dropped into the hole and the sol
replaced.
I'm the case of moles, a sharI
pointed stick may be pushed dowI
into the uplifted earth around the
tunnel and the bait dropped in. Their
simply stamp on the burrow to cu
out the light from below.
The other method of preparing
the bait with poison is as follows
Dissolve an ounce of strychina sui
phate in pint of boiling water; ado
a pint of thick syrup and stir thor
oughly. Scent this with a few drops
of oil of corn. Simply pour it ovel
the grain and stir vigorously. Thi.
grain, of course. should not be scat
tered in exposed places where birds
and poultry would get at it.
In the case of traps, ! do no

certain things which make them, il

This should be made a charge in
whole or in part upon the industries
the employer, the employe, and per-
haps the people at large, to con-
tribute severally in some degree
Wherever such standards are not met
by given establishments, by given ins
dustries, are unprovided for by a
legislature, or are baked by unen-
lightened courts, the workers are in
jeopardy, the progressive employer
is penaized, and the community pays
heavy cost in lessened efficiency
and in misery. What Germany has
done in the way of old age pensions
or insurance should be studied by
us, and the system adapted to our
uses, with whatever notifications
are rendered necessary by our diff
ferent ways of life and habits of

Workingwomen have the same
need to combine for protection that
workingmen have; the ballot is as
necessary for one class as for the
other; we do not believe that with
the two sexes there is identity of
function, but we do believe that
there should be equality of right,
and therefore we favor woman suf-
frage. Surely if women could vote
they would strengthen the hands of
those who are endeavoring to deal
in efficient fashion with evils such
as the white slave traffic; evils
which can in part be dealt with ma
tionally, but which in large part can
be reached only by determined local
action, such as insisting on the wide
spread publication of the names OF
the owners, the landlords, of houses
used for immoral purposes.
