At times the "Cheer-up!" idiot is

of existence in bankruptcy and if her

Hers is the dark side of life. She has
eyes only for the unpleasant and the
painful. She cannot smile without
cracking her lips and surgical op-

Early American Coins.

In 1851 party of emigrants from
Dublin, Ireland, came to New Jersey,
says writer in the Numismatist
Among them was one Mark Neville,
who brought with him a quantity Of
coins, struck in Ireland These were
called Mark Newbies or ST. Patrick
half pence, from the design on the re-.
verse, which represented the saint in
the act of banishing the snakes. Such
was the scarcity of money, especially
small change. that the authorities of
New Jersey permitted their passage,
provided mo one shall be compelled to
take more than five shillings in one
payment" The coinage was struck in
various metals, silver. brass and very
rarely in lead. The designs are crude
but quaint.

boast of living in the same resort

Some of them had even the honor of
sharing the same hotel-a hotel which
appreciated the great master at his

nothing that contributed to his glory
The servants had strict orders to
make no noise before noon, and all
work was therefore prohibited till mid
day. The other guests rose and
dressed in silence, and then stole
noiselessly away to the sea or the

remain until the hour of dejeuner.

RICH ORE STRUCK
IN THE NEW CAMP
(Hlgh Grade News,)

NN@AGA A11N aNkNAfN
A new leasing company has been
formed to work what is known is
block Of the Sunshine High Grade
Mining Companys ground, which
ground was commonly called the
Schauers and Laughlin lease. The
new leasing company is called "The
Lucky Dutchman No. q" after Fred l..
sehrott the original Lucky Dutch
man" and who is manager Of the new
company. The other gentlemen inter
ested are w. II. Shell, formerly su-
perintendent OF the famous Strong
Mine at Cripple Creek, Colorado, Mr.
]. II. Miller, proprietor of the High
Grade hotel at New Pine Creek and H.
Eerschberger, formerly with the Mof-
FAT mining companies Of Colorado
That they have great faith in the lease
is evidenced by the fact that while the
lease is dated August first they start
ed four men working several days pre-
vicus to that date and installed rails
ere car, etc Many tons Of slide rock
have been moved and sinking will be
pushed as rapidly as men and money
can do it, They estimate that they
have from 10 to 90 tons Of float on the
surface that will return a handsome
profit from shipping. Grab samples
have assayed from $50 to s24O per ton,
while considerable portion of it will
run into the thousands, the gold being
so literally sprinkled over the rock
that a glass is not required to ascer-
tain It's richness.
Manager Schrott is so well pleased
that he is devoting all OF his time to
developing the ground having engag-
ed other help to continue development
on the original Lucky Dutchman lease
on the Yellow jacket property and
which lease is every way proving more
and more Of bonanza and sending
away the skeptlcal with proof that
this camp is on the map to stay and
with practical work rich ore can be
found and developed.
The work on the new lease will be
watched with great interest by the
mining fraternity not only here but
elsewhere.

THE INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY.

Mr. Taft Mr. Barnes and others terribly wrought up
the attack of demagoges like Theodore Roosevelt Wood
Wilson, William Jennings Bryan and others upon the indie
pendence of the Judiciary says the Fargo Courier then
adds:
"As matter of sincerity and truth, these called dema
goges fighting for the independence of the judiciary by
seeking to relieve of legislative functions that has usurped
in the of the people and their first friend guardian
No other judiciary in the civilized world undertakes as
first friend and guardian of the rights of the people and the sole
and final interpreters of the popular will
The latest constitutions Of the world in Australia Argen
tina Japan and elsewhere follow the English precedent that
forefahers faithfully undertook follow in the formation Of
constitution of placing the sole power constitutional ntepre
taon in the Legislature vs7ssszsH
The great charters of English liberty written and
were each adopted by the English people measuring
rights and parliament has dared to ansgress the great
principles set forth therein without suffering violent rebuke
from the people
The thing would happen here if the Interpretation of
the will of the people determined to be political function
of the legislature and not judicial function of the judiciary
This true because the experience of the whole civilized
world is witness to its truth.
The issue whether the people going their
will through the legislative branch of government guided
by written constitutions setting forth the great principles of
right that have been ndby written the hearts
and minds of Engshmen since the days of Magma Char
shall their attempt to carry their will be smothered by
years of litigation the of law as to what their will
really is.
The supreme of the United States once decided that
citizen could sovereign state the people recalled this
decision.
The present situation has become nolerabe to free people
who know what they want when they want it.

the courts"

4 MOTHER TURNS CHILD
OVER TO A NEGRESS

luNiTED PRESS LEASED Wihi,l
Washington, Aug. l4.-Deeply touch
ed by the pathetic story Of little Joe
Wilford Johnson. a 1O-year-old white
boy found living in unspeakable squal-
or at the home here Of Nora Johnson,
a negress, where he is alleged to have
been placed by his mother, a society
woman, all Washington today is eag-
erly awaiting further developments.
Nora is my brown faced muvver, "
lisped the lad today. but I got a white
faced muyver, too. dess she don't
care much for me, cause she hardly
over comes"
Major Sylvester head OF Washing
toms police force, openly asserted to-
day that the mother had deserted the
boy, placing him where he would be
certain to succumb TO death by en-
forced Imprisonment. Joe was found
in dark room where he had been held
for at least a month. His body bore
many bruises and wounds, indicating
that he had been brutally beaten.
The negress, Nora Johnson, is held
or a a'charge OF maltreating the boy.
Judge Delaney OF the Juvenile court is
thoroughly aroused over the case. He
said:
This negress was merely paid as a
nurse, Joe was given her as part OF a
studied plan to place him where he
would die. It is the most heartless ex-
ample Of unnatural motherhood that
has ever come to my attention. Slow
but sure murder was the fate this wo-
man planned for her boy"
70 prevent the child from being kid
naped a heavy guard was placed over
him today. The police searched the
home OF the Johnson woman today
and found letters which confirm their
belief that Joe's mother is a prominent
society woman. Several valuable
olews were secured and Major sylves-
ter announced he would place the
oity's entire detective force on the
case, II necessary. to run them down

HOP MARKET STEADIRS
AND PRICES ADVANCE

The decline in hop prices, which has
been steady since the beginning Of
spring, has been checked. The mar
ket has, within the past few days,
turned firm.
Whether the reversed movement is
temporary or permanent cannot now
be determined, but 1t certainly looks
as If the oregon hopgrower will get a
better price for his hops than seemed
probable a short time ago.
AS in all other hop market changes,
the movement had its start in Europe.
Until week ago prices in the Euro
pean centers we're sagging, but now
they are swinging the other way. Ca
bles received yesterday reported all
the foreign markets stronger on the
1911 crop. In England the weather
is unfavorable for the growing crop.
Estimates Not Reduced.
Estimates have not been reduced,
but they will be unless there is a
change in the weather. In Germany
crop prospects continue favorable, but
in the face of this the spot market is
tending upward.
The one strong factor in the mar
ket, which was bound to assert itself
sooner or later is the ridiculously
small supply Of old hops left in the
world. Here, in Oregon, there are
practically no 1911 or older hops left,
and the total worlds visible supply
is smaller than ever before known.
The dimensions Of the short interest
is also a factor that is beginning to
be felt 1t can also be shown that
even the maximum yields estimated
will not leave a burdensome surplus
on the market after the brewers re-
quirements are filled. The market
from now on is going to be an inter-
esting affair, and it should be a profit
able one for the grower, the merchant
and the speculator alike.

PRESIDENT VETOES
THE STEEL BILL


Washington, Aug. 1.-THE veto mes
sage, vetoing the steel tariff bill this
morning, said that despite statements
by democrats that the bill was de-
signed to revise the tariff on iron and
steel products, only one-third of the
revision applied to these products. II
asserted that SO allied industries
would be directly affected by the
measure.
The message also declared that the
bill makes a clear-cut issue between
a protective policy and that of tariff
revision only. Therefore, without fur.
ther information, am obliged to treat
this measure as a revenue bill. one
in which consideration Of preserving
the industry by maintaining the tariff
necessary had little weight. There is
nothing to show me that the duties
provided will equal the difference in
the cost Of production here and abroad
and that the wages Of workmen will
not be reduced by a measure ayowedly
discarding the principles Of fair pro-
lection"
The president admits that some
items in the schedules should be re-
duced. He outlines a plan Of the tar
III board, and declares its report jus
titled belief in its work, adding.
"The proposed bill has not been
framed on a basis Of any study Of the
steel industry Avowedly its rates are
fixed with no consideration Of any
thing but revenue. The principle Of
protection is disregarded entirely"
