The above statement IS based
on the experience which the
makers of Pornpeian Massage
Cream have had with 100000
men. These are the men who
in recent years have written to
US for our various "Pompelan

Homes Wanted for Children.

The Children's Aid society of New
York wishes to provide homes in the
country for the many poor and home.
less children who come under its
care.
The most of these children come
from the best orphanages in and about
New York and have been diligently
trained and selected with care to fit
the new family life into which they
are to enter. If a mistake has been
made in the choice or for any reason
the child be not satisfactory, the So
ciety bears the trouble and expense
of it's return.
These children are of both sexes,
but are chiefly boys and range in age
from six to fifteen years.
If you apply for a child you should
be prepared to satisfy the society that
you will furnish the comforts of a
home; that you will treat the little
one as a real member of your family
by taking the place of father and
mother to him as far as possible; that
you will give him the education and
moral training which will fit him to
take respectable. self-supporting
place in the community.
If you have never had boy about
you. you can hardly imagine how in
teresting he can be and how he can
renew your interest in life by reliev-
ing you of many of the small cares
Of the farm. Let this society send
you nice, active boy to run errands,
hunt the eggs, bring the cows or pos
sibly send you sweet little girl to
cheer your household in return for
the comfort and protection Of an ap-
proved home.
Kindly send your name and address,
telling about your home and desires
and an agent of our society will be
pleased to correspond with you.

Most of the old officers who have
consented to hold over are in the
caucus ticket.
And there you have it. The tickets
are both made up of your friends, both
are composed of good fellows, the
men on both are good square fellows,
and the selection is anything but a
pleasant task. The matter of friend
ship is one that cannot be made to
count, for the other fellow is your
friend, also. The questions that must
decide your ballot are, which will be
the best man for the town-which
will guard it's moneys best? Which
will use the greatest Intelligence and
business capacity in the transacting
of its business. Which will do the
right thing the most number of
times within the term?
These are the questions to ask your.
self, and upon the answers you give
yourself must depend your vote, if
you would be loyal to your town. OF
course, if you are going to use your
ballot for the purpose of gratifying
some little personal grudge, if you
are using the ballot for getting re-
venge. if you are voting to put fifty
cents into your pocket, then there is
no telling who you will vote for, or
what will be the result of the election
when it is done.-Charter Oak Times.

ton, from So to $12 day, which you
readily see would be an eXorbitant
price.
| just now called up one of the most
practical road men in WapellO coun-
ty and asked him what the average
days work was of travel, for a good
heavy team, heavy drag and a man.
He said that in his township he had
dragged from the center of the town
ship back in the afternoon, making
total travel of twelve miles, which is
six miles round trip, and in the after
noon had travelled in the other direc-
ton exactly the same distance and
back, making another twelve miles
travel, or another six miles round trip.
According to your Interpretation this
would bring him $12, which would be
extremely extravaganza He tells me
that team on ordinary roads would
travel twenty miles with drag and
on your Interpretation even this
would give him $40.
You cite various illustrations to
demonstrate that to be paid for drag
ging under the Interpretation of the
law as you conceive l made it eXor-
bitant. For instance. you say that un-
der my Interpretation of the law a
person in making a round trip with
the drag on six mile stretch of road
would be entitled to 6$ and that un-
der average conditions a man with
a team of two or three horses could
accomplish this in half a day and
could drag another stretch OF road
equally long in the afternoon and
thus earn another Sc. making S12 in
ALL l might agree with you that this
much compensation for this much
work is too high but under the law
I have interpreted it is absolutely un.
necessary to pay the amount men
toned for that amount of work. AS
I said at the outset, you have mis-read
what I said on the subject. think
you have assumed that l held that the
trustees were compelled to pay so
cents for every mile travelled with a
drag in the act of dragging the road.
l quote this much from the first par
a graph of my letter relating to this
subject which think sufficiently
states the rule correctly:
1.-THE amount that can be paid for
dragging the road is not to exceed
SO cents per mile for every mile
an dactually travelled up
on the highway while in the act OF
dragging the same in accordance with
the contract therefor.
And there is nothing to prevent
the trustees from fixing different
rates of compensation for dragging
the roads in the same township. I'm
der certain conditions 25 cents per
mile of travel might be very liberal
Under other condi-
tons in the same township 40 cents
per mile of travel would not be too
much"
Any violation of any of the provisions
Of this act, by the superintendent of
dragging or any person or persons
who may be required under contract
to drag district roads, or neglect on
the part of any thereof. be fined not
less than ten dollars (S10) or more
than twenty-five dollars ($25) for the
first offense, and for each subsequent
offense shall be fined not less thar
twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more
than fifty dollars ($50).-Council

away from home, postage and convey
ance in attendance to his duties. The
superintendent should not be allowed
for such expenses unless they are
necessary, and as to whether they are
necessary and proper in a given case,
is largely within the discretion Of the
township trustees.
What roads should be dragged un-
der the provisions of this law?
The township trustees shall from
time to time designate what districts
must be dragged, which must include
all mail routes and all main travelled
routes within the township. The
trustees would probably be the best
judges of what roads are the main
travelled roads.
According to your Interpretation of
what a man would have to do with
say three horses to earn $500 day,
would be to travel four miles and back
with a drag, total of eight miles. In
other words, if he took a piece of road
four miles long which it only took
one round trip, put it in condition,
charge up to the trustees 81, go home
to dinner, and another days work in
the afternoon. In other words man
with two heavy horses and drag or
with three horses and drag would
earn, according to your jnterpreta-

REFORM IN TURKEY

They took old Abdul from his throne and sent him off to live alone and feed on bread and cheese: they took his seven hundred Squaws and scattered them around as straws are scat tered by the breeze. Then said the Young Uplifting Turks: Just watch Us run the bloom ing works and elense corrnp.. tons pool. The lid is on the Tyrant now, and peace shall rest on Turkeys brow, when we. the Peepul rule! From nations that are wise and great we'll learn the way to legislate and gather helpful hints; we'll pass a thousand bully laws and eloeute until our jaws are done up in splints." Now look at Turkey. reader fair. and note the Peace that's reigning there, the peace so lately born; and mark the happy people sing and smile and dance their High land Fling and chortle-in a horn. The little war of which you wot has shown the Sick Man has dry rot in body. soul and brains: of honesty there is no trace, there's crookedness in every place, and rascals hold the reins. And in the homes of Turkish men they long for Abdul back again. for. though he was a knave, he didn't claim to be saint or on his brow halo paint, or of the Peepul rave. You con endure a rough old crook who shows, by every act and look, that he is wholly vile; but heaven save Us from the frauds who fool us with their moral gawds and spring the saintly smile.

AFTER THE CORN
 FLAKE TRUST

The eggs trust having gone out of business, apparently to escape prosecution by the Fed. eral authorities. the breakfast food trust is the next number on the program.
 Not only has the government filed it's long promised suit for the st dissolution of the Gardner Company, but government of. ficials have begun a campaign of inspection. testing the foods for general purity. It has long seemed queer to the average consumer that such strenuous effort should have been made to enforce the laws affecting some concerns while others went free. But now the gov ernment is alive. It is going after law violators in both cas- eS-as it should-and is trying to break up the alleged trust and destroy the control ill the valuable food article that has, as charged. sent up and main-. tained prices at will.
 This new suit started at Chi. cago is one of the very few which the government has start cd against an alleged combine iii food necessity. in a con-. munity which comes close to the people in their struggle with the high cost of living. Other suits have been brought against combines which reach the peo. pie only very indirectly, except lhe coal and the meat, and the first of those was started by a private citizen, while the meat case was fought on old evi.. dence and not after such a searching investigation as is claimed has been made in this case. It really begins to look as though the Department Of Justice at Washington had fin. ally recognized the existence of the ultimate consumer

DARROW ON STAND.
Closing Sessions Find Defendant
Witnessing for Himself.

Los Angeles.-Clarence Darrow
took the stand on his own behalf
Monday during the close of the ses-
sion of his trial. Darrow told of his
connection with organized labor as
an attorney, detailing numerous
cases in which he has been interest
ed. Regarding the Mcnamara case
he declared he was reluctant in ac-
cepting it and related that pressure
was brought to bear on him by labor
leaders which finally induced him to
take it.
He spoke of his dealings with Mrs.
McManigal and George Benin, uncle
of McManigal, and said he asked
Behm to find out from McManigal
whether the stories printed in the
newspapers purporting to come from
him were true, and he said to tell
McManigal if they were not he would
defend him also. Darrow said he
never had a conversation with BERN
with reference to getting McManigal
to change his testimony.
Getting down to the present case
Darrow in response to a question de-
clared he never had any conversation
with Franklin concerning the bribery
of jurors and did not give him a
check for that purpose. He paid
Franklin check for 81 900 on Oc-
tober 4 and another on October / 3
for expenses of the office.

RAILROAD EXONERATED.
Board of Inquiry Holds Dunbar Re-
spOnsible for Death.

The board of inquiry convened for
the purpose of ascertaining the
cause and fixing the responsibility
for the derailment of Southern Pa
cific locomotive 1912, one and one
half miles west of Morrison. on the
Shasta division, on July 10, in which
Engineer Dunbar was killed and
Fireman A. c. Selby injured. has
found that the derailment was due
solely to the engineer running at a
too high rate of speed around IA
degree curve.
The testimony at the inquiry
brought out the facts that the track
was laid with 75-pound steel, the ties
practically new, fully tie-plated and
double spiked, and that the track in
no way contributed to the derail-
ment. 1t was also brought out that
speed tests on this branch had been
recently made against Engineer Dun
bar.
The board of inquiry consisted of:
j. w. Metcalf, superintendent; F. H.
keefer, division engineer; William
Small, master mechanic of the South
ern Pacific, and l.. E. Hillen, a re-
tired merchant, and w. B. Mason,
dentist.

TWO MEN DROWNED.
Women and Children Rescued From
Damaged Launch.

South Bend, wash. A. Lucas,
aged 81, who lives in Lake county,
California, and j. w. Kennels, aged
90, 217 East Fourth street, Albany,
Ore, were drowned and five others
had miraculous escapes from death
when a launch in which they were
riding Sunday struck a submerged
fishtrap piling in Bear river straits
The rescue of two women and two
small children by F. A. Lucas, broth
er of one of the drowned men and
one of the owners of the townsite,
was as heroic as it was sensational.
Kennels and |. A. Lucas were seat
ed in the stern of the boat when it
struck and both were precipitated
into the water, in the widest part of
the straits, two miles south of the
town of Ghetto Harbor and away
from any available help. The two
men began to swim for a mud flat
250 feet away. When about so feet
from the mud flats Kennels sank.
Lucas reached the flats and started
for Ghetto, but fell into a slough and
was drowned.
AS soon as the launch struck, and
F. A. Lucas, brother, took in the
situation, he swan to the mud flats
and waved in mud kneedeep to the
shore, then raced over the sharp
stones for three miles, barefooted
and naked, scaling bluff and climb
ing through slashings to the mill
where the rowboat was anchored.
1t was then a pull of two miles
back to where the launch was pin
Toned with its human freight. Stead
lily the tide kept rising and each min
ute brought the two women, Mrs. F.
A. Lucas and her sister, Mrs. H. c.
Courier, and her two children, Lo-
leta, 8, and Kermit, Z, of Portland,
nearer their doom.
AS the water rose the women boost
ed the children a little higher up on
the bow of the boat and later upon
the nose of the launch. All the time
they kept their composure, the little
girl and boy praying that their uncle
might return in time.
In the distance, two miles away,
they saw Lucas land safely upon the
wharf. The children waved to him,
and he was encouraged. Faster and
faster he rowed and faster and faster
the tide kept rising until it had sub
merged the women and children to
their necks, when, exhausted and
bleeding from his terrible race over
stones and through slashings, Lucas
reached the imperiled women and
children. They were safely taken off
and returned to Ghetto Harbor.
Lucas feet, legs and body are a
mass of cuts and bruises. The water
was dragged all night by men who
came from Ghetto Harbor and other
adjoining towns. Rennells had come
north to take charge of some of the
work at the new townsite.
