ceive her mail at the post office,
but the woman continued to visit
the depot daily until her arrest.
Through a slight clue found
by D. o. Smith yesterday, 1t is
hoped that the woman can be
identified. On a small tag in
side one of her shoes was found
the name of a shoe firm in Ash

sent the woman's photograph and
a history of the case to the Ash
land chief of police In the hope of
receiving information leading to
her identity.

To the Editor:
This is a small piece I'd like to
have you print in regard to the
game warden importing 1000
Chinese pheasants In the county,
l think If the county game warden
would appropriate q little of the
money that he uses to buy those
destructive birds and help the
ranchers to make both ends meet
at the end Of each year it would
be better. Chinese pheasants
will do as much damage in gar
den as an ordinary hog. They
will eat all the strawberries that
you raise and pick the currants
just as fast as they turn. 1t is
plain to see they are a nuisance,
for the Willamette valley is pay

THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET
Manufacturers Maintain Prices,

fBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Fall River. Feb. 1.-The New England
cloth markets were quiet last week and
there was only limited amount OF bust
ness put through. Manufacturers sue
ceeded in maintaining prices in most
cases, particularly where there was
scarcity OF goods and moderate de-
mand for them. At no time during the
week was there much activity. but there
were some orders received which were
moderate in size and which gave encour-
agement 10 the trade and were instru-
mental In supporting prices.
Many buyers turned their attention 20

Antitrust Legislation.

Federal legislation along the lines
laid down in President Wilson's anti
trust message is taking more definite
shape as the bills introduced are COM
ing up for hearings and discussions.
The publicity requirements for the new
Interstate Trade Commission will, II is
announced be limited by the provision
that trade secrets will not be violated
and the holding company will not be
considered a public enemy unless II is
in the line OF monopoly. These par
ticular notifications have tended 10
allay a rather widespread apprehen
sion. While these new laws have been
formulated there has already been in
troduced a bill 10 modify the income
tax law by abollshing collection at the
source. which is felt TO be the cause OF
much unjustifiable expense TO corpora
tons and the origin Of many perplexi-
ties.
One popular form Of regulation has
received a setback in the decision Of
