ACCIDENT AVERTED.
Joy Riders on Klamath River Nearly
Collide With Government Boat.

Klamath Falls.-That an appalling
accident is only a matter of time on
Lake Ewauna and Klamath river. be-
tween here and Keno, is certain un-
less more precautions are taken by
operators of boats plying these wa
ters, according to Deputy Game War
den j. j. Fowler.
1t appears that many boat owners
are in the habit of taking "ioy
rides on the lake and river during
the early hours of the evening and
in some instances late at night WITH
out lights on their launches.
Tuesday night a collision with one
of these unlighted launches and the
fast government boat Pelican was
narrowly averted near the island at
the lower end of Lake Ewauna. The
government launch was compelled
to throw on full speed backward and
to turn sharply to one side to avoid
ramming the launch in the narrow
channel.
The Pelican was lighted and the
occupants of the otner launch should
have seen it. There was no light on
the other launch, and Furber, who
was at the wheel on the Pelican
could not see it in the shadows until
he was on!y few feet distant

MANS SKIN TURNS BLACK.
Fair Complexion Changes to Hue of
MulattO.

At least fifty St. Louis physicians
have been called in consultation to
diagnose a peculiar malady which
has afflicted S. A. Hendricks, mer-
chant of Eastwood, Carter county,
Missouri, more than five months.
Hendricks is a patient in the day
field Sanitarium, Taylor avenue and
West Belle Place, st. Louis. Seven
months ago he was in good health
and of fair complexion and weighed
194 pounds. Today his skin is as
dark as a mulatto and his weight is
94 pounds.
His fortune exhausted by efforts
to cure his illness, Hendricks, who is
90 years old, was sent to the sani-
tarlum by friends in Van Buren,, Mo.
Five months prior to his entering the
hospital he was unable to lie in bed.
His lower limbs were partly para
Iyzed.
Hendricks said his disease began
to show symptoms seven months ago
when he was slightly injured in a
fall.
DR.. w. H. Mayfield, head of the
sanitarium, said Hendricks case is
the most battling he ever treated
Il have seen cases of jaundice in
which the patients got as yellow as a
lemon, but never before have / seen
color change as it has in this man, 4"
Or. Mayfield said
Hendricks face is darker than the
skin of his body DR.. Mayfield, in
diagnosing the case, gives a compli-
cation as follows: Addisons dis
ease, cancer of the pancreas and
gallstones.
One of the mystifying things about
the case is the physical endurance of
the man, DR.. Mayfield said. For five
months he has slept little and he has
suffered intense pain almost continu-
ally. His mind at present is active
and he has control of his arms and
limbs.
DR. Mayfield has invited every
physician in st. Louis to make a di-
agnosis. Since coming to the hos
pital, DR.. Mayfield says, Hendricks
has been free from pain and has
gained strength physically. The
physicians cannot account for the
rapid change of Hendricks color.

WHY HORNE FAILED.
Winner of Olympic High Jump En-

cane pole is used for bar, and when
Horine jumps lie bends the bar down,
but so skillfully that it does not fall
from the pegs.
At the Olympic games they use a
stick an inch and a half thick and
held by very short pegs SO that the

BILL is QUESTIONED.
Governor Will Not Pay for Attor-
ney's JOY Rides.

Salem, Ore.-Whether or not a
bin contracted by Attorney General
Crawford for conveying jurors in an
automobile to view ground sought to
be condemned by the state for the
use of the penitentiary is to be paid
rests with Governor West, and as he
'emphatically declared that he would
not pay for what he termed 10y
rides" on the part of the attorney
general, it is believed he will not
approve it.
The bill came up at a meeting of
She state land board, when the ques-
JIon whether the board would take
the land condemned at the price
fixed by the jury came up for de-
'cision. After severely criticising the
attorney general for not having
called members of the board as wit
nesses in the case and declaring that
because of this the jury had fixed the
price of the land too high, the board
decided not to take it and referred
the costs of litigation to the gov
ernor.

SALEM HAS TALLEST BOY.
Will Not Take Back Seat for Other
Oregon Towns.

The day shift of the mechanical
department of the Statesman Pub
fishing Company has the smile on a
couple of pigmy youths. one of
Thomas, Linn county, the other OF
Portland, who in their respective
turns have been touted in the
Evening Telegram as the tallest boys
in Oregon for their ages, which is
18. Howard Freeland, a printer ap-
prentice who works with the States
man company, is also only Is years
old and has John S. James of Port
land looking like a mere miniature
runt in the matter of elongation.
James measures 6 feet 4 u inches,
while young Freeman looks benign
ly down from an altitude of 6 feet
u inches as he stands at the cases.
The first youth to lay claim to the
honor of being the 'tallest boy in
Orewon' was Ira Serfling of Thomas,
Linn county, who measures some 6
feet inches. There was a story
about him in the Telegram that
made young Serfling have aspira-
tlons to become a member of the
Portland police force. Then John
James appeared and Serfling began
to shrivel. But now that the Salem
lad has loomed into the limelight.
Serfling looks like the small end of
zero Whitfield down. while little
Johnny James envies Bud Fishers
Jeff his height.
Young Freeland is red-headed and
has a grin that he wears in a bow
knot on the back of his neck. He
says lots of funny things and keeps
the boys around the shop good-na-
tured. He weighs about 165 pounds
and is all nerves and sineds Salem
statesman.

sticks of dynamite, under the wall of
local bank, created CONSERVATION

that several small boys had chucked

from a nearby hardware store.
After two policemen and four bank
directors had turned pale at the

remarked that, having tired of carry
ing around enough dynamite to blow
up the town, he and his companions
had thrown it on the straw, to make
room in their pockets for bait for a
fishing trip.

An unsolicited compliment was paid
Governor Wilson in a recent issue of
the Outlook by the man whom the
runlp convention in Chicago this week
chose fos president. This is how Coi.
Roosevelt speaks of his Democratic
opponent:
NO one pretends to find reason
for not voting for Mr.. Wilson in the
character or in the ideals of Mr.. Will
son himself. 1t is plain that he ap-
proaches public questions from the
roint os view of the public interest.
What he said the other day in a
speech at Atlantic City is a genuine
expression of his spirit.
''fia was speaking of an issue raised
in that place by lawlessness and cor
ruption, of the need of moral pride,
and of the willingness to fight evil at
all costs. There can be- said Mr..
Wilson, so long as we are honest men,
no quarter with any man who deals
privately or publicly in a practice that
is unrighteous; a man who lays him.

PROBE Sentiment
ON PORT DISTRICT
Chamber of Commerce Revives
Agitation for Construction of
Export Dock.

Further inquiry throughout the
county as to the sentiment favoring
the establishment of q port commits
sion and a port district to superin-
tend the development of Olympia's
harbor was undertaken by a special
committee of the Olympia Chamber of
Commerce this week, as the result of
a meeting Monday night of the trus-
tees of the organization.
The particular project in view is
the construction of an export dock
which its promoters say Olympia
needs to derive the greatest possible
benefit from the opening of the Pan
anna canal. A thorough canvass of
the county is to be made by the COM
mittee, directed by Chairman R. r.
Streets, and report of it's findings
will be made at the next meeting of
the trustees.
DR.. P. H. Carlyon, who presented
the subject to the trustees, called their
attention to two means through which
Olympia's harbor may be developed:
a port district and port commission,
and eastern capital. The sentiment of
those at the meeting favored the for
mer and the trustees voted to revive
the old port district committee and to
conduct another canvass.
The action of the Chamber of Com
merce on the question of whether
Olympia and Thurston county should
be embraced in port district will de-
pend on the report of the committees
canvass. If the committee reports
the sentiment in favor of the project,
steps will be taken for a special port
election, but If not. efforts to interest
eastern capital will be made.
All the speakers of the evening,
among whom were Mr.. Streets. Mil
lard Lemon, Allen White and Emory
Williamson, declared the subject to be
the most important before Olympia
and Thurston county at the present
time. 1t is planned to build the dock
large enough to provide ample space
| for the mills of the interior to ship
| their produce to the dock for storage
pending the arrival of vessels. 1t is
also proposed to have loading facili
ties of the most modern kind to ia
cilitate the work and lessen the ex
pense.

This is the way that Rufus Wilson,
formerly one of the Progressive lead
ers OF Washington but now heart and
soul in the Democratic movement,
sizes up the gubernatorial situation in
Washington. To Mr.. Wilson, as to
all the Democrats of the state, the an
swer is perfectly rlain-the next gov

Mr.. Wilson, who is now ON a trip
through the state, conferring with the
Democrats of the different counties.
says that his investigation into the
political situation indicates that Gov
ernor Wilson will carry the state by
a handsome majority, that Mr.. Roos-

he said Wednesday during his visit to

he continued. Il sent a letter to
hundred of the real progressives of
the state, not the ofIiceseekers but
those who are progressives because
they believe in the progressive princi-
pies, and 20 per cent of them replied
that they would vote for Mr., Wilson.
There are 10000 real progressives
in Washington; Wilson will draw the
support of most of them. and those
who vote for the Democratic national
candidate win support the state can

and hence Eastern Washington will

1T is especially gratifying to see
such men as Troy running for state

Thurston county situation. Senator

will have the Bull Moose nomination

will do no better than second choice

"All these factors are pointing to
Democratic success" he added.
