beach at Canoe island, but the out
law had flown.
The scene of action then changed
| to Shaw island.
The next time Tracy II was heard
from he was at Burk's again, where
he had bis dinner and supper; then
he appeared at Shaw's and had a
few more meals.
And still the hunt went on, the
ba ndit always in the lead.
Sunday morning at 80 he ap-
peared at the Glossop home and
asked Mr.. GIossop to take him over
to Anacortes in his launch. Mr..
Glossop told him his launch was out
of commission and the man went
away.
When at Glossop's the outlaw had
young Will Shaw with him as a
guide. and kept him in front of MIN
while he talked with Mr.. Glossop.
After leaving the house he told
young Shaw that he wouldn't need
him any more.
He has since been seen several
times. Was reported to have been
surrounded in Hoffman's old boat
house. but, like The Irishman's flea.
when they put their finger on him
he wasn't there" He was seen by
Photographer Mccormick, Monday
afternoon, from the deck of the
revnue cutter Arcata. to come down
from the woods into an orchard,
pick some cherries, gu down to
the beach, step into a skiff and row
across the bay. with the posse not a
hundred yards behind him Mr.Mc-
Cormick describes it as a "tense
situation"
All boats along the shores of the
island have been taken up. three
boats-the U. S. revenue cutter Ar
cata and the Canadian patrol boats
Faloma and Winamac-have been
patrolling the waters around the
island while Sheriff Boyce and his
posse secured the island.
! Monday Afternoon a big Greek,
known as ''Big Gus" who has been
working around the Harbor for
some time, and who claims to have
been criminal hunter back in the
old country. volunteered to ''go and
get him" He was taken over to
Shaw island, but for some reason
was not allowed to hunt for the
desperate.
Tuesday night the outlaws lair
was found. and several bloody ban
dages were picked up, indicating
that he had been hit and the men
at the fish camp where he had
breakfast one morning say his coat
was ripped across the shoulders and
his neck scratched as though he had
been hit with q charge of buck shot.
The situation is a pee uliar one, it
appearing that the British authori-
ties have no right to pursue or ar
rest the bandit while in American
territory. and that the u. S. au-
horities have nothing on him except
the charge Of evading the immigra-
ton laws and assault with deadly
weapon. AS he has sworn to shoot
the first man who molests him, the
only way he can be captured will be
that he runs foul Of Sheriff Boyce
(who would be justified in shooting
him), gets starved out and surrend-
ers or get desperate and kills some
one, in which case the posse and
guards will Immediately close in on
i him and shoot him down on sight.

SOCIAL OVERSTRAIN.

Mrs. William j. Bryan, after but
two months of the fatiguing life of
capital society, has had to give way
to nervous breakdown. Mrs. Will
liam H. Taft was another who soon
found herself unable to play that ex-
hausting game. Anyone knows per-
sonally of similar instances. The
higher the station, the Weather or
more fortunate a woman is, the more
likely victim to neurasthenia.
You might expect that men, who
bear more than half of the world IS
physical hardships, would be the
chief sufferers from nerves On the
contrary, the doctors say that two
thirds of the neurotics are women.
And unmarried women, the majority
of whom nowadays work for their
living in competition with men, do
not suffer from nerves as do those
who are married.
Mere overwork does not often lead
to nervous prostration. The laun-
dress and the scrub-woman rarely
haunt the doctors office for this
cause.
The shopgirl envies the patrician
lady in her limousine and imagines
that she is merely idling. But her
Ocnunation NOV ha mora avbauety,0
than the shopgirl's.
Normal life needs the patient,
silent performance of certain regular
tasks, easy because they are routine,
and the mind is adjusted to them.
The social leader, on the contrary,
is under strain every minute. She is
expected to display brilliancy, to par
ry other bright wits, to grasp social
situations, to think and act instan-
taneously in all awkward places.
Along with the penetration this
calls for, she must keep forever flow
ing sparkling stream of small talk
about the nothings of the day-for
the big subjects in which she may
really be interested seem too deep
for the give and take of teas and
calls. Verify it is as the Israelites,
when they were required to make
bricks without straw. No person can
long play that game afternoon and
evening without going beyond the
speed limit.

THE COMMENCEMENT GOWNS.

In few cases is the girl graduates
commencement essay written as yet.
Perhaps its outline and heads are not
yet laid out.
But are any of the commencement
gowns not yet planned? Possibly
many of them are now hanging in
the closet.
Suitable dresses for commence
ment has long been a debated theme.
School boards and teachers common
ly work for simplicity. They feel
that public schools are a democratic
institution, and that the clothes for
the final doings should be planned
on democratic basis.
During recent years, in response
to this idea, many commencements
have been held where the girls ap-
peared in gowns costing $199 or
$2.7S or other reasonable figures.
The greatest difficulty in carry
ing out this program appears to be
from the families for whose benefit
the simple gown crusade was started.
The wealthy are usually willing to
dress their girls simply They have
plenty of other chances for display.
Others who can less afford to splurge
are apt to vote for fuss and feathers.

THE LAWS DELAY.

It's no new subject, in fact it was
old when Hamlets soliloquy men
toned it among the reasons for shut
fling off this mortal coil. So men
of all parties will agree with ex-
President Taft when he told the Yale
law school that present conditions
are national disgrace.
Without stopping to consider the
turnings and twistings of wealthy
litigants in the higher courts, are
there not many needless delays in
the ordinary run of legal work?
Perhaps they are due to the same
causes that make it hard to get your
house painted, or your goods deliv-
cred on time.
Lawyers, like everyone else, are
ambitious to take every case they
possibly can. Few producers of any
kind judge Alright the time it takes
to complete work. The manufactur-
er estimates his production greater
than his factory can do. Contingen-
cies come up that he cannot foresee.
Men are sick, raw material is de-
layed, and few orders are hauled to
the freight house on the day prom
ised
1t may be similarly assumed in le-
gal work that most successful attor-
neys take more cases than they can
handle. They fail to figure
on the ins and outs of investigations
that take time. They soon find that
they must ask the courts for post
Probably the courts are too lib
eral to these requests. An adjourn
ment may involve quite as much in
justice as a case that is imperfectly
tried. Let the more successful law
firms take only the amount of work
they can do on time, and give some
of the younger fellows a chance to
earn a dollar!
Delayed litigation in the higher
courts has been a national scandal,
as Mr.. Taft suggests. The conges-
tion in the equity branch of the
United States supreme court has
been such, at least within a year or
two, that you couldn't get hearing
until two years after you filed case.
Cut the musty red tape!

SPRING FEVER.

Some people give that name to the
enervating languor brought on by
the first warm weather. Others ap-
ply it to the restless dreams of wind
ing mountain trails and CLASSY trout
streams that tempt a man to shut
his desk with bang and skip.
Spring is the hardest weather in
the year for a fellow to work. The
office or factory seems a friendly
enough shelter during the chill
storms of winter. In May the whole
system of the worlds work seems a
crime. Dusty Rhodes looks like the
only true philosopher.
This confinement within four walls
on these lovely days may be abnor-
NAL and different from the life man
was built to lead. But the persist
ence with which people stick to their
tasks, deaf to those calls of vagrant
nature, shows that the human spirit
has acquired some splendid habits of
persistent industry and patient reg
ularity. These habits and qualities
in the long run bring ample rewards.

NEWSPAPER MALICE"

The release of w. R. Nelson, own
er of the Kansas City Star, who has
been found not guilty of charges of
contempt of court growing out of a
report of a divorce case, is an event
of significance in the newspaper
world. 1t is in line with the tenden-
cy of the courts to protect fair crit
icism.
Newspaper men will rejoice that
the Missouri courts do not sanction
attempts to make malice" in it's
legal sense different from its mean
ing under common sense, or to imag-
inc malice where it does not exist.
Laying aside the legal question,
the public too often imagines ma
licious feeling in the newspaper. The
politician, reading between the
lines" used to the roundabout bur-
rowings of diplomacy thinks the
most innocent item that the reporter
turns in to fill space is the subter-
ranean attempt of rival to do him
discredit.
The people who are criticised al
ways take it as much more personal
than it really is. The newspaper
man is the historian of the civic bat
ties of today. Unless some injury
has been done to him, he feels no
more personal spite against men with
whom he differs than he would if he
were telling about Thomas Jefferson.
In the heat of electrical battles he
may say and feel sharp things. But
it is all on the surface.
The men of other professions are
free to say the most damning things
about their fellow citizens in pri-
vate, and then to welcome the OBJ
jects of their detestation with the
proffered hand of pretended friend
ship. The newspaper man, on the |
is under contract and |
bound in honor to tell his readers
not merely the facts of what has hap
pended, but what he thinks it all |
means. If he proves false to that
the people don't want his
paper. After he has fulfilled this !
duty it will be found that "newspa-
per malice" is fiction, and that he |
has only kindly feeling for any
loyal friend of the common home
town.

AS TO PAVING.

Mr.. Anderson of Grants Pass was
in Ashland Friday. He is a paving
contractor and is here in the interest
of his business. He wants a con-
tract for paving some Ashland
streets by his method. He proposes
to pave at cost of $1.10 per yard,
which appears to be a very reason
able price. His work consists of
four-inch base of crushed rock tied
with an asphalt binder, with one
and a half inch second surface of
quarter-inch rock firmly rolled with
asphalt binder, and surfaced with a
quarter-inch of crushed rock, or
chats, bound with asphalt binder
forced into the rock under heavy
pressure and the whole rolled firmly
into the second surface, thus thor
oughly filling the surface to a
smooth and solid consistency.
His price seems right and his
method appears good.
But, the Tidings is opposed to any
more paving in Ashland for at least
three years to come. The writer
now owns property in three towns
which have been fairly impoverished
by overpaving. Paving is strictly a
non-productive investment. There is
no question of the permanent value
of good paved streets to any city,
and every city, in this age of aes-
thetic development, should have
well-paved streets. 1t should have
them as fast as it is amply able to
pay for them. But, by no means
faster.
Ashland has laid several miles of
paving during the past three years.
Most of the main thoroughfares are
paved Our contention is simply
this: Ashland has already assumed
all the obligations for paving she is
now able to comfortably stand, and
in many cases the payments now
coming due for paving are hard
ship on those owning property on
abutting streets. We have enough
for the present.
The Tidings takes this stand be-
lieving it is best for the town. AS
a business proposition for the It'd
ings it would be much better that
paving should continue, for under
the Oregon law there are lots of
publication notices for which the To-
cal paper is paid to print.
Last year and the year before the
Tidings' bill for printing paving no.
tices amounted to more than two
thousand dollars, and If we chose to
impoverish the city for our own pc
cuniary gain it might amount to as
much during this year and the next
This much is stated simply to
show that we have no selfish motive
in the stand we are taking against
paving. 1t is the duty of news
paper to stand for those things that
will best foster prosperity in it's COM
munity, and often this is done at a
great pecuniary loss to the paper.

that even the price of a suit OF
clothes requires a lot of work from
somebody. And this talk of easy
money is largely moonshine. Every
man who has money has paid the
price for it. But this 30-cent boy

has come to be a little short of a
public calamity He ought to be

Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department has inaugurated re-
form which will net the government
something over one million dollars
annually. BY his order all govern
ment deposits in national banks will
draw per cent after the first day

Adoo's reform is that he did not wait
