little girl about twelve years old,
when a horse that she WAS driving
became frightened at the fire appara-
tus coming. out Of the engine house,

Pulliam. She had just been to Nell
sons stable and gotten a horse be-
longing to Miss Minnie Weisiger. and

Seeing the horse running away with
the little girl. Judge Ernest IL. Wells,
who was about to take his automo-
bile out OF his garage To take q spin.
ran to stop him. The little girl held
fast to tho reins and never uttered
a sound. Seeing Judge Wells In tho

and Miss Wilkinson succeeded In get
ting him under her control.

THE OTHER SIDE.

A newspaper sells advertising space just the same as a grocer sells butter and eggs. a butcher meat, a dry goods dealer. cotton or silk by the yard. When one goes into a grocery store and buys a pound of butter does he ask the grocer to make him gift of pound Of sugar to sweet on his coffee? IT he buys leg Of mutton from his butcher does he ask him to present him with sausages for breakfast? If his wife buys enough silk for Q gown at the dry goods store, does she expect the mer- chant to give her husband smoking jacket. or herself a kimono? Ask yourself. Yet something like this seems to be expected from news paper. And yet the newspaper busi- ness is. or it is generally considered to be. in most communities, just as legitimate a business as any other. But. sometimes. Of course newspa- pers, real or alleged, are themselves to blame for this condition.
 A live newspaper is constantly ad- vertising it's constituency-giving i; legitimate publicity and is thus incl dentaly and directly advertising the business Of every man in it. Have you thought about that side of the question?

ALAsKNs SALMON PACK.

Alaska's salmon pack for the pres ent year will be more than three mil lion cases. This is a vast amount, and may serve to give some idea Of the great importance of this branch of the Alaska fishing industry. The Puget Sound pack will represent about 3OO.OOO cases, while the far famed Colup.6ia river product is only 15.OOO cases. That is to say that Alas ka this year has produced ten times the amount packed in Washington state. and two hundred times that of Oregon.
 While the prices for canned salmon this year have been anything but sat. isfactory there seems to be a stifr ening in the European markets and orders are being received from all world ports. And further, the proba- bility is that next years prices will more than make up for the sluggish prices of the present year.
 The figures quoted serve to em- phasize the need for more complete protection of the salmon industry. Canneries are multiplying rapidly, and the conservation of this and other valuable food fishes becomes a mat ter of the first importance. And the cannerymen themselves should be as much concerned as any in respect to this matter.

BUYING "A PIG IN A POKE"

For the past two or three years Alaska has been over.run with agents for land concerns scattered all over the country, from Florida to British Columbia. Many sales have been made and much money has been gathered into the coffers of the land corporations. There have been both misrepresentation and actual fraud practiced. and not a few people have been swindled outright Some Alas kans will remember the Everglades of Florida and the smooth.tongued artists who travelled through Alaska and painted in glowing colors the lands Of the Dismal Swamp, and pur- chasers were found in many sections for land that is worse than useless. The land sharks were not alone to blame. When a person buys a pig in a poke" he should not complain if he gets a ground hog.
 The point is this: A man or wom- an who buys an article should know what they are purchasing, If one buys a farm, say in Florida, he is, to say the least, somewhat careless in his business methods. if he does not make a personal examination of it before he pays his money, or failing a personal examination. see that one is made by someone that can be trusted. The interruptions agent will, of course, tell him that the land is all that could be desired, while as a matter of fact 1t might lie in q swamp or on the top of a mountain.
 Town lot speculations and other real estate transactions, at long dis tance, are not to be depended upon. They may be all right, of course, but it may be set down as an axiom that careful investigation is not likely to lose a man money.

A KNoTTY PROBLEM.

President.elect Wilson, 1t is said, is thinking over the way to effectu- ally deal with the trust and tariff problems, as he inhales the spice-la- den air of the Bermudas The tariff lis a complicated question and that the trust problem is colossal has been clearly demonstrated by the efforts of the national administration for the past twenty years. It must be con- ceded that President Taft has made a determined effort to curtall the powers of the trusts, and yet no one will contend that the result has been gratifying to the great mass of peo- pie.
 The Sherman antitrust law was passed in 1890. During three years of the administration of President Harrison four civil suits and three criminal prosecutions were brought under it. One of these was against the sugar trust but was not tried un- til Cleveland's second term, result ing in a decision against the govern ment. Justice Harlan dissented con struing the statute substantially the same as the construction adopted by the court in 1911 in the famous Standard oil and Tobacco cases.
 During Cleveland's administration five civil and two criminal prosecu- tions were brought under the act in one of which the government was sustained in its attitude uphOldlng the

Portland Having
 Vice Investigation

PORTLAND, Or, Nov 22.-Mayor Rushlight today turned over the po' lice department to Judge Gatens Of the juvenile court for the purpose of Investigating the vice scandals in connection with Y. M. c. A. officials. Three of these have been arrested, charged with unmentioncble crimes; four others are under suspicion and score or mere boys are involved.
 The boys in court told of the for nation among patrons of the Y. M. c. A. here of a club of men and boys, and of practices which caused the arrests. On the testimony of the boys and of one or two of the men arrested, who confessed, others high. CT up, among whom are a lawyer and we'll known doctor. are involved. Several young men connected with prominent Portland business firms have confessed to being members Of the organization and to the practices charged.
 So far 1t has been impossible to locate the instigator of the organiza. tion, but 1t appears that orgies have been held ever since the handsome new building has been occupied, Jan uary l, 1911. Youths ranging from z to 15 and men up to 40 gears are in- volyed.

law applicable to railroad combina- tions.
 During President RoOsevelts ad- ministratlon the government won a distinct victory against the Northern Securities Company. During the sev- en and a half years of the coloners administration forty,four proceedings in all were brought-eighteen civil and twenty-five criminal,
 During Taft's administration, up to last winter, all of the sixteen cases pending from Roosevelt's term were disposed of except two, Up to Feb ruary 1st, 1912, twenty civil and forty criminal suits had been brought.
 Although the present administra. ton has succeeded in dlssolvlng the Standard oil Company and the Tobac- co trust the power of the monopolies continues to increase rather than di- minish.

loading of a line or lines already con- structed. at large price, upon the government, should not be tolerated.
 When the Alaska railroad commis- sion shall have submitted it's report to Congress some additional light should be thrown upon this import ant matter. Until then criticism should be held in abeyance. It is not a vital question as to what point on the coast shall be selected. The railroad itself is the vital point.
 It the American Mining Congress Is able to throw a little light on the mud died coal situation in Alaska-even if 1t accomplshes nothing else-its work may be of some material ad' vantage to the territory.
