tron the Home Telephone company
residing in the upper Hood River val
ley, as interpreted by one of Hood Riv-
cr's leading physicians when called to
visit the home the fore part of the
week.
As the physician stepped from his
carriage and knocked at the door, no
response came. He waited a momen
and knocked again. No stir was heard
which caused some alarm and induced
the physician to break the general
rules Of decorum and walk right in.
Upon entering the sitting room the
woman Of the house was dis overed
comfortably perched on some soft,
downy pillows in a large rocking

UNCLE TOMS CABIN
SCORED BY WRITER

In an address at the Camden high
school a few days ago, F. Hopkinson
Smith, writer and artist said that
"Uncle Toms Cabin" had done more
harm than any other book ever writ
ten. He added that the general condl-
tion Of the negro had not improved
since the civil war and that the ne
groes of the south were happier bet
ter cared for and more content in the
days of slavery than they were now.
Mr.. Smiths criticism of Uncle
Toms Cabin" was based on his be-
lief that the book gave the world an
erroneous conception of the negroes
life and condition before the war He
said the chief incidents in Mrs. Stoves
work were such as never could have
happened in the south. He attributed
much of the bitterness that prevailed
in the south years after the war to
"misinformation conveyed broadcast
by Uncle Toms Cabin"
Mrs. Stowe, he said, was to be blam-
ed only for making such use of Incl
dents that came to her knowledge at
second hand. Uncle Toms Cabin
as whole, he insisted, was highly
colored caricature that did not reflect
real life in the south.

Automatic
Switches
Unknown

1t has been the pleasant (?) duty of
the street car boys for the past year
or so to crary on their cars long rod,
something like a branding iron used
by ranchmen in marking an exception
ally wild steer, with which they either
turn the switch bars from the rear end
while passing out Of the siding, or run
ahead and guide the car in right. This
has been the custom ever since the
street railway system installed its
heavy rails at the time paving was in
progress
Why this decayed custom of operat-
ing street railways is kept up, re-
mains a mystery to the patrons of the
Salem lines. 1t not only causes an
unnecessary waste Of time, but is very
inconvenient to both patron and street
car man. With very little or no eX-
pense at all, the present owners Of the
line could install spring switches on
every siding in the city, and relieve
their employees considerably, That
the work of turning these switches by
hand is a nuisance to the passengers
was manifested last Saturday night,
when one of the Commercial street
cars was loaded to the guards. Pat
rons trying to ride on the rear plat
forms, there being no room inside of
the car were compelled to either
stand on the steps or crowd their fell
low passengers unmercfully, due to
the efforts Of the conductor to open
the back window to manipulate the
switch bar rod.
1t was suggested by passenger that
the matter be taken up with the Public
Utility Commission, and an effort made
to remedy the faulty system.

"The Telephone Girl"
(From Judge.)

(trom Judge.)
The telephone girl sits still in her
chair
And listens to voices from everywhere.
She knows all the gossip, she knows
all the news,
She knows who is happy and who has
the blues;
She knows all our sorrows, she knows
all cur joys,
She knows all the girls who are
chasing the boys"
She knows all our troubles, she knows
of our strife,
She knows every man who talks mean
to his wife;
She knows every time we are out with
the boys,
She knows the excuses each fellow
employs.
If the telephone girl told half that she
knows,
1t would turn all our friends into bit
terest foes;
She would SOW small wind that
would soon be a gale
Ingulf us in trouble and land us in
Jail.
She would start forth a story which,
gaining in force.
Would cause half our wives to sue for
divorce.
She could get all our churches mixed
up in a fight,
And turn our bright days into sorrow
full night;
In fact, she could keep the whole town
in stew,
If she told but one-tenth of the things
that she knew.
Say kid, but doesn't it make your head
When you thing what we owe to the
telephone girl?

"Oregon is a rapidly-growing state
and the expenses Of administering its
governmental functions must, conse-
quently, increase proportionately with
the growth in its population and de-
velopment of its resources and natural
advantages. Notwithstanding the many
demands which have been made upon
it from time to time in order that il
might provide for an appropriate ad-
ministration of the business and affairs
within its confines provision has al
ways been made to meet them so that
in the period of the commemorative
rapid development, 1t could always as

our great nation.
Miscellaneous receipts are shown
