to be able to draw blood with her vo-

may account for the look of perfect

BIG AND LITTLE GAMBLING

A Portland paper yesterday contained story about
the arrest OF Chinaman for playing the China lottery
Judge Langguth in finng him fixed the punishment at
$40 and remarked that that would be the fine hereafter
for all caught playing the lottery The same day the
press dispatches carried to every daily in the country the
story of the days dealings Wall Street and that dur
ing the day million and quarter shares of stock
changed hands representing value of several hundred
million dollars. The deals were just as much gambling
as playing the lottery the only difference being that the
latter is far the honest game There is distinction
however, and that is that in Wall Street Morgan Rookie
eer Dupont and the other big sit in and DEAL stack
the cards and load the dice in big game while the China
man gives you square guess for your money Maybe
that is the reason the law looks with favor on the big
crooked game and turns in horror from the ring one
According to the dispatches there are many small fry
winning at the big game just owing to the fact that
stocks of all kinds have advanced steadily and all who
bought necessarily made gains
Morgan and his fellow big dealers have fed out the
stocks and ured the money into the getrch quick
venture They have kept the market rising and are still
boosting it, There is hardly stock quoted that is not
far above its actual value investment far above
the price at which pay reasonable interest on the
amount paid for it. The result is that before long the
limit of creduy and craziness will be reached and then
stocks will tumble as reason resumes her throne
That means panic on Wall Street in which the 'earn-
ngs of the small fry will be swept away as the fictitious
values are wiped out 1t is the little fellows only who will
suffer- for the big gathered in millions as the stocks
went up and they will gather in millions the
water squeezed out and stocks get down in the reaction
not only to what they WORTH but much below that
figure Yet this game is legitimate while the Chnk lot
terry is crime.

oREGoN's RoYALTY-A JOKE.
(Pendleton TribuneN

During the San Francisco exposition
new star burst forth with effulgent
glow upon the Oregon sky. For the
purposes of Oregon Day at the fair an
eminent citizen was to be selected to
represent the commonwealth, and a
committee was appointed by the Cover
nor to make such selection. The com
mittee membership was as follows: H.
l.. Plttoek, OF the Oregonian, chairman;
John +. Carroll of the Telegram; Frank
A. Moore of the Supreme Court; Charles
b. Moores of the State Historical So
ciety; Prince L. Campbell of the State
University; William j. Kerr of the
State Agricultural College: and Mrs.
Clara A. Waldo of the State Grange.
The people of the state would have not
been surprised if some member of the
committee had been selected. Each had
filled full measure of personal duty to
the state. Each would have borne wor.
thily the honor. When the selection
fell to parsonage bearing the name of
Simon Benson, the state Immediately
asked the antecedents and achievements
OF the man. Few had ever heard his
name. 1t then developed that he is
very wealthy resident of Portland, who
has given to that city some public
fountains, who takes great interest In
the Columbia highway, and who is the
owner of the Benson hotel. Recently
he has been active in the good roads
movement, and is a intimate friend
of John b. Yeon, also active in the
highway propaganda.
Mr. Benson is doubtless a very ex-
cellent man, but unfortunately for Ore
gon, the committee in selecting the
" First Citizen" of the state, neglected
to examine the candidate. 1t now de-
velops that the gentleman was only
half citizen. He is deported to be
even now applying for his final natural
ization papers. Is the joke on the emf
nent committee, on Benson or on the
state?

THE GREAT FLAX CONSPIRACY
(Medford Mail.Trihnne.N !

We have the words of Governor
Withycombe to prove that the world is
vast conspiracy against his $4,000
flax fizzle at the state penitentiary.
Numerous and divers are the foul plot
ters.
First, the Portland journal was de-
clared falsifier and fraud when il
called attention to inefficiency in con
ducting flax operations.
The Secretary Olcott was accused as
conspiratOr because he filed a letter
with the board protesting against un-
businesslike methods employed, and
campaign was launched to defeat him
for denomination.
Then Secretary Kav was added to the
list of plotters when he insisted upon
the removed OF the superintendent of
flax operations for inefficiency.
Prison Warden Minto was later de-
nounced as having joined the conspr-
acy, along with Secretary Goodin of the
board of control who was accused of
juggling figures, and various prison en-
ployes, who were accused of hampering
operations.
Now Senator l. N. Day, republican
Toss of the legislature, is branded
cOnspirator because as member of the
emergency board he refused to sanction
an illegal appropriation for continuing
the experiment.
Ben Selling, speaker of the house, and
5. b. Cobb, chairman of the ways and
means committee, are also conspirators,
for as members of the emergency board
they upheld Senator Day and refused
further financial aid, censuring the
board for "wanton extravaganza and
unbusinesslike methods" in the conduct
of the flax experiment, of which the
governor had sole charge.
Something must be done to quell the
conspiracy, and the Portland Journal
has found solution as follows:
Happily, the militia is back from the
Mexican border and the governor is
commander in chief of our armed forces.
Mounted on Loretta, he should place
himself at the head of the troops and
quell this scounderly interference with
the orderly administration of state
affairs.

CHAPTER XXIII.

l, too, was sleepy, but long after Cliff
fOrd's regular breathing told me he
slept, / lay awake, living over the ev-
ents of the evening, and thinking of
Clifford's S indifference.
II must find good dressmaker,
and have her teach me how to wear
my clothes, &" muttered, just as l fin
ally fell asleep. When l awoke in the
morning, Mandy stood by the bed with
the baby in her arms. Clifford had
been gone some time.
"Marse Hammond tell me not to
'sturb yo', Missy Mildred" she apol-
ogized, when scolded her for letting
me sleep so late. But il was thoughtful
in Clifford, and I was happier all day
because OF it.
1t takes so little to make a young
wife happy, to keep her faith and trust.
My feelings toward Clifford at this time
were hard to analyze. 1 still loved him
well enough to be either cast down or
elated by his approval or disapproval.
He was my husband, the father of my
baby. To me, had he allowed it, he
would always have been the only man
in my life.

The following are the reasons for

Said j. B. Teal has favored certain

and disregarded plain provisions of law,
as instance:
L. The unwarranted destruction OF
permanent bridge, fill and county road
at Independence where no emergency
existed and without shadow of excuse
therefor, and contracting requirements
thereof at an expense to the county OF
more than 100000; all to the detrimeut
of other deserving sections of the conn.
ty where the roads are neglected. Said
bridge and fill being within the corpor-
ate limits of the city of Independ-
ence.
2. Expenditures Of moneys levied for
inter county bridge at Salem for gem
eral road purposes.
8. Employing private surveyor and
paving therefor more than lawful rates
for doing county work, totally ignoring
the legally elected and duly qualified
county surveyor
