kind of encouragement from society will remain honest by preference. It is my observation of hundreds of criminals whose reform has been complete and permanent that makes this conclusion a definite one It is this capacity of humanity to turn from evil ways to methods of life which society recognizes as right and prop CT that really proves my first con clusion, which is that crime is an ac- cident to which a moments careless- ness may subject any living person. If these criminals who have reformed had belonged to a different order of humanity from those of us who have so far been fortunate enough not to have yielded to the impulse to crime, how could they have become members of the order to which we profess to belong ?'-From "Is There a Criminal Class?" in the Hampton Magazine for May.

a tremor Slowness in collections is reported in the cotton districts, as might be expected whilst the price of cotton has increased in view of the smaller area to be planted this year. With the usual rains of the season, large area of the recently sub merged land will be long in drying out. This will make it too late in some cases for cotton. General Business is growing in the South at a greater rate than transportation fa- cilities. Car shortages will grow in seriousness and crop movements may be delayed. Still there is room for much confidence in the outlook.

CRIMINALS JUST LIKE

 You don't agree with the scientists of the Lombroso school, then, that there is distinct criminal class?'
 "Distinctly not. I have been for more than fifty years in almost con- stant association with crime and law breakers. I may fairly claim to have had exceptional opportunities for the study and observation of the operation of the human mind and the motives that actuate those whom society terms criminals. I have reached certain conclusions which do not agree With the theories of some eminent scientists nor altogether harmonize With the teachings of the sociological schools. T have no theory to advance, but It seems to me some facts have been generally overlooked.
 "No one can study criminals at ciose range and believe in the existence or a criminal class, regardless of what Jombroso and his disciples may claim. If should not require any lengthy ar gument to prove this assertion. 1T thnre were a criminal class, sharply defined as such and differentiated from the rest of the human race py ascertainable characteristics, then must follow that there would De q non-criminal class, comprising the rest of the human race and as sharp- ly distinguished as the supposeo criminal class.

Farson Henderson, an evangelist CT color, was caught enc bright morning holding tho hands of one of the eve lambs of his congregation, who was very popular young lady and it creat- ed quite stir among the colored pop ulation, relates writer in Norman 10. Mack's National Monthly. So the par. son was brought up for trial and was questioned by the officers of the church as to what he meant by his action, aud this is what he had to say in answer to the question propounded to him: My hrudders, you have seen these great pictures. I suppose, so you know dat the great Shepherd am always pictured with a lamb of his flock in his arms"
 "Yes. sah, parson, dat am so," ad mitted Deacon Jones.
 Den, Brudder Jones, what am wrong in the shepherd of his flock holding lamb in his arms?"
 This was too much for Brudder Jones. so he proposed the officers of the church have a call meeting that afternoon After the point was dis cussed fully the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, Dat for the future peace and dignity of the congregation dat the next time Parson Henderson feels called upon to take lamb of his flock in his arms, dat he pick out a ram lamb"

 Leach Cross is one of the New York lightweights who wants to box the champion. At least he says he would like that pleasure Cross recently met Harlem Tommy Murphy in ten round no-decision contest and as the majority of the newspaper critics gace him the verdict he is all swelled up, and professes to believe the pulp lie is clamoring for match between Wolgast and himself.
 Personally I think Cross a very or dinary boxer He has been getting by in New York recently and was very lucky in number of instances. He is the "cover-up' type of miller and not above resorting to question able stunts to beat his opponent. I did not see Cross battle with Mur- phy, but my representative and sever- al other experts advise me it was Murphy's fight all the way. They also expressed the opinion that Murphy would win decisively in a twenty round contest.
 So far as Cross having chance to beat Wolgast goes, it would look like joke match. The champion could lick half dozen of the kind in the same ring if he was feeling good. The only time in his career the New Yorker essayed the long route was at Colma two years ago and Dick Hyland knocked him out or made him quit on that occasion. If the champion makes good in his "come back effort with Rivers he can find worthy opponents in plenty; he will not be forced to pick out me- diocre performers of the Cross type to keep busy.
 The retirement of Battling Nelson marks the passing of one of the od- dest characters that ever held cham piOnShip title In this or any OtMera country. Differing from the average pugilist in that he was self-taught, he lacked the skill that is the stock in trade of most successful boxers. Bats chief assets were stamania that a middleweight might boast of, and a heart of oak. With these he fought and won his way to the lightweight championship. The ideal fighter, whom time alone can batter down, would be one with the cleverness, let us say, of Mcfarland, the craftiness of an Attell, and the never-say-die spirit of Battling Nelson.

PRESENT LAWS
Engineers Of State Recon-.
mend Passage Of New
Statutes

TACOMA. Dec. 4.-Of statewide in
terest was the convention of the
County Engineers association which
closed here yesterday. and for the rea-
son that the association favored the
changing of present state road laws,
and opposed the drainage act, it is
the geenral belief the legislation for
the betterment of road conditions
throughout the state will necessarily
follow.
One of the first resolutions acted
on by the convention yesterday morn:
ing was that favoring permanent high
way laws. The present law was in.
dorsed but certain amendments which
it is thought will make it more effec.
tive, were recommended in the reso'
luton passed. The chief features rec
commended for the present road law
we're: irst that no county road shall
be less than 40 feet in width; that
the county in future must secure q
clear title to all established roads
before public funds are expended OH
them, and that all roads established
prior to 1912. where no width has been
designated shall be go feet in width.

Eight From Aberdeen to

Eight prisoners destined to spend
the Christmas holidays in the county
Jail left Tuesday morning for Monte

procession that passed down Heron
street only a few moments before the
Northern Pacific train left the city.
The prisoners included Mr.. and Mrs.
A. J. Armon and Mr.. and Mrs. J. l..
Armon, arrested on the charge of shop
lifting and bound over to await trial
at the present term of superior court.

and sentenced to a term in the state
training school,; E. o. McGillis. charg-
ed with obtaining money under false
pretenses and A. ]. Robinson. charg-
ed with assault, completed the double
quartet.
There was much wailing and good
ly amount of tears were shed when the
four prisoners charged with shoplift-
ing bade farewell to Mrs. c. Fournier
who is also alleged to be party in
the crime, but who secured sufficient
bail to enable her to spend Christmas
at home.

Greek in Letter to Aberdeen
Friend Believes War
Will Be Averted

That Greece considers Bulgaria
Servia and Montenegro as her stapnct
friends, and that there will never be
war between Greece and Bulgaria
forms the substance of a letter re-
ceived yesterday by George Lollis, a
Greek of this city.
"This talk of war with Bulgaria, is
nothing but newspaper talk" writes
friend of Lollas who is now with
the Greek army. I'VE are comrades,
the best of friends with the Bulgar-
ians, and l am sure there will never
be trouble between the two countries.
We have fought side by side during
the war and are fast friends. l do
not believe either countries could en-
thuse their armies to battle"
The letter received by Lollas is one
of unusual interest for it describes
the condition of affairs, at least as
view by one who returned to his
native home to fight for his country.

COLUMBIA NOW

Crowds Cheer as Big Vessel
Steams up River Last
Tuesday
MANY VISIT BIG BOAT
Meets With High Approval
of Owners = Will Take
Back Big Cargo

With the arrival Tuesday afternoon
of the new, big steel steamer Colum-
bia, Captain Chas. A. Allen, former
Master of the Svea, the promises SO
frequently made to give Grays Har-
bOr first-class passenger service to
San Francisco, via Portland, has at
last been fulfilled and there is every
reason to believe that this will mark
new era in the shipping industry
of Grays Harbor.
The Columbia, with flags Haunting
the breeze, reached Aberdeen on
schedule time, and when she steamed
up the Chehalis river hundreds of peo.
pie thronged the docks and every
place of vantage to greet the arrival
of the first big boat to call Aberdeen
her home port. During the progress
of the Columbia up the river she was
saluted by every mill and boat whistle
on the harbor. The sirens broke
loose as soon as the Columbia was
sighted around the rivers bend. The
welcome was cordial and truly ap.
propriate.
As soon as the black sides Of the
big craft scraped the H street dock.
scores of visitors boarded her even
before the gang plank was placed. Of
ficers escorted the visitors about the
boat, and it is needless to say that
it came up to the expectation Of all.
The Co1umbia's sides were black
and below the water line she is paint
ed red. Her stacks are jet black and
her upper works are white.
Built at Wilmington
The Columbia was built at the Hol
lingsworth works at Wilmington, Del.
She has a gross tonnage of 1923 and
net tonnage of 1,18S. She is 25l
feet long, 20 feet depth of hold and Al
feet bredth of beam. She has a ca
pacity lor 100000 feet of lumber and
accommodations for IS passengers, 81
first class and Is steerage. She cost
upwards of $250,OO0. The Columbia
was built and designed for the Grays
Harbor-San Francisco lumber and
package carrier trade and fills the ex-
pectations of many people on Grays
Harbor for a steamer of this class.
The boat is splendidly equipped.
She has so state rooms and all of
them would do credit to a regular
ocean liner. Every convenience and
comfort will be given passengers
aboard the boat. On the trip from
San Francisco to Aberdeen there were
five first-class passengers, and all of
them are loud in praise for the Co.
lumbia.
Shifts to Hoquiam
After discharging her miscellane-
Gus freight at the H street dock the
Columbia shifted to Hoquiam early
yesterday morning where she will
take on her first consignment of lum-
ber. She will leave during the latter
part of the week for San Francisco
carrying, besides her lumber cargo, a
large amount of whale oil and canned
salmon.
