single electoral vOte.-Theodore Roosevelt in
declaring his independence Of the Republican
party as it now Is prostituted.
That is what he has in view as his own reward
not single electoral vote!
And this is what he offers as a reward for those
who will stand up and keep the faith with him:
have nothing to offer any man. Any man
who supports me will do without hope of
GAIN and at the risk Of personal loss and dis.
comfort.
Not much hope for appointments pro-consus
or centurions or marshals or chanceors of the ex-
chequer in those words!
Yet Roosevelt is the man who has been pictured
as desiring to drag the Republican party in chains

HAVING THEIR FLING.

Missouri justice Of the peace had one Of his
bitter and vrile enemies hailed before him upon the
trumpedup charge of stealing chickens. After hear
ing all the evidence he cared to hear in regular u-
dicial manner, he adjudged his enemy guilty and
sentenced him to be hanged.
81 know this decision will be reversed by the
upper courts" he said as he handed down his find
ings, but | want Bill Smith to know I'm having my
little fling"
The forces in control of the Chicago convention
are having their little fling by charging Roosevelt
with killing the Republican party, and sentencing
him to oblivion, but their decision will be reversed
when the appeal is taken to the people.

EASTERN GRAZING LANDS.

The Farmers and Drovers' Journal, of Chicago,
insists that there decided shortage Of beef cattle
such would largely explain the continued high cost
If beef, although the Department of Commerce and
Labor has gone record to the effect that the sup
ply of cattle is almost unprecedented This is mat
ter which will probably be threshed out in the course
Of the Congressional investigation which is now on
foot.
Whatever may be the facts, suggestion on the
part of the Chicago periodical in question is that
ne Eastern States should take up cattle raising again
as being more profitable than growing grain. 1t is
pointed out that since the price of land in the West
has increased hundred per cent in ten years, the
land in the East is more nearly on a level with it in
value In other words, there is plenty of land to be

HUNDREDS OF LADS
GO TO RIVER VIEW
WITH BOY SCOUTS
Special Trip in Order to
Arouse Interest in
Tag Day.

With lunches tucked under their arms
or crammed into pockets, nearly a
thousand boys gathered before 10
o'clock at the Seventh street wharf this
morning, embarking on the steamer st.
Johns for River View. No boy had a
ticket nor credentials showing that he
was entitled to make the trip. All that
was necessary was that he get on the
boat. The journey was under the
charge of the Boy Scout leaders.
These same boys, or most of them.
Will be busy on the streets Tuesday
selling Boy Scout tags. The purpose of
the free trip this morning was to arouse
enthusiasm in this work. After spend
ing an hour and a half on the boat and
eating their lunches, the Boy Scout of.
ficials believed that the youngsters
would be In a proper mood to listen to
a good business proposition.
II was proposed that the boys will be
gathered at River View and the details
of tag day" would be explained to
them. Not only are the boys to have
the free river trip. a sort Of payment in
advance, but they are also to be paid
a commission on the tags they dispose
of next Tuesday.
The steamer will return to Washing
ton at $3.50 this afternoon. The early
return was planned SO the boys who
sell newspapers would not be kept
away from their daily task.
The River View summer camp is
nearly completed, and everything will
be in shape when the season opens
July l. 1t is possible that a gasolene
launch will be added to the equipment.
This launch will hold about thirty boys,
and, IL obtained. will be kept in service
practically all the time.
K. s. Martin. superintendent of play
grounds; Assistant Scout Commissioner
John Embry, Malcolm P. Junkin, who
will have charge of the River View
camp: Drs. Murray and Lucas, of the
Health Department; F. c. Wood, H. B.
Williams, J. r. Cosgrove, and j. B.
Byrn are among the men interested IN
Fairgrounds and Boy Scout activities
who made the trip to River View with
the boys this morning.
The representatives Of the District
Health Office proposed while at River
View to make a careful examination of
the water supply and general sanitary
facilities. The camp at Columbus, Ohio.
Of which Mr.. Martin had charge, was
extremely healthful, and every effort
will be made to make River View
equally safe.

MONEY CLEANING
MACHINE PROVES
QUITE A SUCCESS
Treasury Laundry Looked
Upon as Fixture in
Department.

30 successful has the money laundry
now installed in the Treasury DEPART
ment proved to be that officials OF the
Government consider Il a fixture. In
the many tests that have been given
II. not one bill that has been washed
and ironed has been injured. On the
contrary the results obtained are some
thing really wonderful.
Figures compiled by Christian q.
Pearce. of the Treasury Department.
show almost 80 per cent of the money
sent to Washington to be redemmed can
be saved by the new process. Thous-
ands and thousands Of notes have been
destroyed in the past that could have
been saved.
For years the invention Of a money
laundry has been before the officials of
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing.
1t was considered impossible to get a
machine to wash money without caus-
Ing the ink on II to run and smear. Not
only does the machine wash and iron
paper money, but not the slightest col
orng is lost. In addition to this, all
germs that may be on a dirty bill are
killed. and the notes come out sterilized
and pure.
The machine means a saving to the
Government Of almost a million dol
lars annually, and possibly more.
Hundreds of people have seen the
machine in action. Many of those
who laughed at the inventor and
others associated with him in his eff
forts to put such a machine on the
market, are today loud in their
praises for the wonderful piece OF
machinery.
Two young women have been put in
charge of the laundry. One feeds the
soiled money In at one end, and the
other stacks up the clean. crisp laun-
dried notes when they come through.
1t Is estimated that in eight hours
between 10000 and $4,000 old bills
can be laundried
Yesterday afternoon Director Joseph
e. Ralph. CT the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. had a conference with
the officials OF the Treasury for the
purpose of inducing all national banks
presidents to sign notes from their
institution in n strong indelIble ink,
so that when such bills are put
through the laundry the ink will not
fade. AS It is today bank presidents
sign bank notes with any kind OF
ink. from plain polk berry Juice up
to ordinary five-cent ink. This com
position will fade in the laundry ma
chine. AS a result OF the conference
II Is probable that all bank notes in
the future will be signed with an ink
that will not fade.

A HOME RECIPE FOR
REMOVING WRINKLES

(From Woman's National Journal.)
Who will blame the modern wo-
man for trying to look as young and,
attractive as she reasonably can?
Why should she be placed at a dis
advantage in numerous ways by
wearing wrinkles, II she can avoid
these hateful marks OF advancing
age? sSt f9 tf
Few women, however, know what to
do to effectually rid themselves Of
wrinkles or4aagginesss Nome Of the
advertised preparations is satisfac-
tory and most Of them are very ex-
pensive. But very simple and
harmless home remedy. which any
woman can make, will work wonders
where all the patent preparations
fail.
Buy an ounce Of powdered saxo-
lite at any drug store Dissolve the
whole ounce in a half pint OF witch
hazel and use 1t as a wash lotion.
The results are practically lnstanta-
neous Marked improvement Is no.
ticed Immediately after the very first
trial. Wrinkles and sagging are cor
rected and the face feels so re-
freshed and smug-like.

a bridge across the Willamette river
from West Salem to Salem, to be used
as connecting link for its line from
West Salem into Salem. N

struction work on the bridge as soon
as the weather will permit, and to
run cars into Salem at the earliest
opportunity.
New Country to BE Opened.
Through the new extension Dallas
and Polk county will be brought into
direct connection with some of the
richest sections in the Willamette val
ley, Silverton and stayton are among
the larger towns Of the valley. Stay
ton is now practically without railroad
communication, while the railroad
connection to Silverton Is roundabout,
ana IL OF little value.
! In addition to this there are Inn
mense lumber holdings in the vicinity
.of Silverton, which will be tapped by
the road and practically new field
will be opened to market
1t lis probable that the road will use
motor cars for its passenger traffic
on the extension both to silverton and
staytOh. This is the type OF a pas
senger car which is now in use on
the road between Black Rock and
West Salem.
It is not announced when the extern
sion will,be started, but II is believed
that the work Of securing the right Of
way will be begun at once, and that
before the bridge across the river in
to Salem is completed within a year
work will start on construction of the

Within another year or so Dallas
is to be in direct rail connection with
Silverton and also with Stayton, two
live towns of the eastern Willamette
valley. This important traffic extern
sion is to be brought about by branch
lines which are to be built by the Sa-
lem, Falls City & Western railway, the
headquarters and shops Of which are
located in Dallas. The two feeders
are to form junction with the main
line a short distance east of Salem
The route to Silverton will be about
IL miles in length, while that to Stay
ton will cover a distance approxi-
mately 1S. The work of making the
surveys will be started Immediately
