HERE AND THERE
SABBATH REFLECTIONS.
lContinued from last week..


The dog kept trying to get over the
barrel at Doug, and several times 1t
caught him by the coat sleeve while
snapped at his throat. Doug tried to
halloo, but succeeded in producing
only husky gasp, so nearly was he
out of breath. However, it was not
necessary for him to halloo for help
as his scuffle with the dog made racket
enough to rous the Crissmans. Start
led and somewhat bewildered, Mr..
Crissman sat upright in bed and cried,
"merciful heavens! Juhl, what on
earth is going on out on the kitchen
porch ?"
Mr.. Crissman said nothing, but
stepped quietly out of bed, slipped
quickly into his clothes, secured a
loaded revolver which he kept al
ways in readiness in the dresser
drawer, then hurried into the kitchen.
Mrs. Crissman followed him as far as
the dining room where she took a po-
sition by the aperture in the partition
though which vituals were passed
from the kitchen to the dining room
during meal time. This position gave
her a full view of the kitchen while
she could not be seen. Evangeline,
who slept upstairs, was awakened by
the noise and had come to the head
of the stairway to listen. When she
saw her mother pass into the dining
room she glided quietly down the
stairs and joined her near the aper-
ture in the wall. They heard Mr..
Crissman quieting the dog and sternly
demanding who was there and what
was wanted, "Come with me at once,
mister, the old people in the next
house up the road are about to be
murdered and robbed"
Mr.. Crissman lit the wall lamp and
told Doug to step inside and repeat
what he said. Doug, flushed and pant
ing from his run down the road, -step-
ped into the kitchen where, nudged by
his early raising, he removed his hat,
assumed an attitude of respect and
repeated his story.
Who said Mr.. Crissman, "is do
ing this?"
bill Cedric and Jake Smith. They
are in the house now. We must go at
once"
When the names of Cedric and
Smith were mentioned, Mr.. Crissman
started and exclaimed, What! Ced-
ric and Smith? By the eternal gods,
young man, we must take those des-
perate dare-devils even though it
costs dozen lives"
He jumped to the telephone and
rang vigorously. Central responded
Immediately.

Travelling the whole extent of the
country north Of the John Day River,

volunteer fight against what he feels
to be the doctrines Of Single Tax.
Mr.. Bonham makes his headquarters

don't get my mail regularly" said Mr..
Bonham, Il am doing all can In the
good work. My friend, Phil Metsehan,
can tell you Of the extent OF the
country over which I travel" Mr..
Bonham distributed over 200 copies
of Single Tax Exposed" work by
Charles H. Shields, secretary Of the
Oregon Equal Taxation League. This
book should be read by every voter
in the State of Oregon. It. pcoves
conclusively that Single Tax is not a
system Of taxation at all. but a means
to destroy private ownership Of land.

AGED WOMAN IS
LEADER IN fight
HTyEp-
MRS. MATT MITCHELL, OF, COVE,
Is UNAFRAID.
Union County Lady Works Vigorously
to Down "WoIf In Sleeps oarb"-
Single Tax DisIiked.

Although an old woman, Mrs. Matt
Mitchell, who lives at Cove, Oregon,
says she is never afraid to work when
the cause is good.
Mrs. Mitchells home in Union
County. she says, is one of those
threatened by the Single Takers with
their Single Tax propaganda. Aroused
by the efforts of what she describes
as "U'Ren and his ilk" aud their
false trash" Mrs. Mitchell has gone
into the field herself.
Modern Joan Of Arc.
Like modern but aged Joan Of
Arc, this old lady organized them
against Single Tax. At her own ex
pense she received books on the sub
tect Of the fight against Single Tax
and she distributed 200 of these her
self over the great county in which
she lives.
1T Is people who own no real
estate" said Mrs. Mitchell, the other
day. who are in favor of Single Tax,
also the ignorant class, and those
who take no newspaper at all. 1t is
a shame that such men are allowed
to vote at all on anything pertaining
to taxation. while thousands of in.
telligent people, who are heavy tax.
payers, must have their homes taxed
away from them by such ignorant
persons.
Whole Section in Arms.
Union County is one of the coun.
ties selected by that wolf in sleeps
clothing U'Ren, so we will all have
to help in the fight. I am an old
woman, but not too old to work In
a good cause"
Mrs. Mitchell says that the whole
of her section is up in arms. Every
property owner in Eastern Oregon
from the man or woman who owns a
small lot to the wheat farmers, is
fighting what Is known to be a con.
fiscation Of their homes, declares this
old woman fighter for the common
good"
Ballot Numbers Told.
Mrs. Mitchell, despite her years,
worked arduously in the campaign
against Single Tax She circulsted
petitions, distributed 200 books, cirou.
lated cards and gave her tir;e 6soly
Ia eddiHbn. she expended heI owh
naensy IL the fight.
And when person is wils0s to
spend real money in = fight for
vital principle 1t must be CONCEDED
there is real enthusiasm for what she
knows to be right 49,

Leo Bateman was struck on the
head Saturday evening with a club
by man by the name of Andrews.
The trouble occurred over some
fishing grounds which Leo has
leased. and which have been pur-
chased by Andrews. According to
report they had some trouble in
the cabin but settled the dispute
without anyone being injured.
Andrews then left and soon Bate
man started to leave, but on going
out the door he was struck over
the head BY Andrews who was
waiting with a club. Leo was taken
to the Agency and attended by DR..
Clausius. He remained unconscious
so was brought to Toledo Sunday
and taken to Corvallis ON the ex-
cursion train Sunday evening,
where he was placed in the hospital
and an operation performed. Re-
ports indicate that he is getting
along all right. Andrews was
brought to Toledo Tuesday by De.
putty Sheriffs Ross and McElwain
and was given a hearing before JUS
tice Booth who bound him over un-
der bonds to await the action of
the grand jury.
Friends of Gust Olson sent a
petition to Governor West last week
asking a pardon for Gust. A re-
monstrance was also circulated and
sent to the Governor. A telegram
was received from the Governor
stating that no matter how many
petitions were sent him he would
consider no pardon for Gust. He
also congratulated our people on
the conviction of violators of the
liquor laws.
Among the grandest individual
displays at the Fair this week was
the display of d. J.. Derby. Mr..
Derby certainly is deserving of
credit for his efforts in placing this
display. We doubt there being a
farm in Oregon which could show
produce of such IA variety. Nor
could the exhibit be excelled in
quality.
The contract for planking Hill
street was awarded by the Council
to Messrs. Harding and Avery of
this city, they being the lowest bid
ders. The contract calls for the
completion of this work within
forty days. The contract price il
$l6.57 per thousand feet for dressed
lumber.
Word was received here today that
the gas schooner Wilhelmina had
gone aground off the mouth of
Siuslaw bar and is total wreck
All members of the crew were
saved. The Wilhelmina was loaded
with construction material for tho
new railroad which is building into
Coos bay.

THE POPULAR THING.

The "Votes fer Women" button
is the popular thing. 1t has come
to popularity because of the Justice
loving people of Lincoln coun ty.
President Alderman of the O.S.N.
S.. who is member of the Polk
county league, pleased the people
greatly during his address Tuesday
by calling attention to the "Votes
for Women" button which adorned
the lapel of his coat. President
Ackerman is honorary vice presi-
dent of the State headquarters
association. He is one of the intel
lectual leaders of the State and is
typical of the class Of people every
where who are, hading progress in
the airectioh of tRis most impor.
tant of reforms.
The Waldport band, who are dis
pensing such good music and who
look so handsome in their natty
uniforms, look even more so than
ordinary because Of the "Votes for
Women" button which they wear
pinned on the front Of their caps.
The league is rapidly growing in
numbers and Lincoln will not be
back number next November. S.

Shed Rosebrcok came down from
Portland Sunday to complete his
vacation.
4, The ball given by the base ball
team at Oddfellow hall last Friday
night was success socially, but a
financial fizzle. The management
did everything possible to make it
a success but the crowd failed,
probably on account of the storm.
The orchestra, composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Rosebrook, Will Hoeflein,
Miss Alma Waugh, Clarence Ofste-
dahl and Ira Branch, furnished most
excellent music. Here's hoping
their next dance will make up for
the loss on this one.

PLEASANT SURPRISE PARTY

On sunday afternoon about sixty
of the good people living in the Wap-
clio neighborhood paid their res
poets to the Crowder family in an
unexpected visit
Mr., and Mrs. Sydney Chorn in
vited Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Crowder
and son Ray to have dinner with
them, and by appointment soon after
the dinner hour the rest of the neigh
borhood came swarming in at the
Chorn home. When this happened
the Crowders began to remember that
they had just sold out and were
about ready to. lie We for Oregon, and
as everybody greeted them in the
most cordial manner upon their ar
ival they concluded that it was a
premeditated affair.
The visitors brought liberal guam
titles of ice cream and other good
things with them and there was some
thing pleasant going on all the af-
ternoon.
The visitors bro ght fine set of
silver knives and forks which were
presented to the guests of honor.
is in no sense dress affair. People
The Crowder family have lived
here for several years and this little
gathering was mark of the esteem
in which they are held. It was all
very gratifying to Mr.. and Mrs. Crow
der and Ray, and we have their as
surance that the event will be held
in sweet memory at all times. Their
daughter Stella is at Lewiston and
did not participate in the event, but
she comes in for a share of the hon.
ors.
Mr.. Crowder has engaged car for
next Tuesday and will ship most of
his goods to the new home in Ore
gon.
