Mrs Edyth Tozier Weatherred will not be reapponted
member of the state fair board it is semiociay given
out Of course not because Mrs Weatherred is demo-
crat and Governor Wthycombe carries partisan politics
into every branch Of the states service and the democrats
are not recognized anywhere The state fair board is
partisan machine the state highway commission is sody
republican, the state educational boards have been
publicanzed until the limit of the law has been pressed
and every employe about any state institution must show
straight party credentials get out. This of
Governor Wthycombe's is in striking contrast to the
course of the national democratic administration in the
present crisis This is evidenced by the fact that nearly
all activities in Oregon have been entrusted to repub
cans and partisanshp has apparently not been in the
least considered Oregon democratic citizens and tax
payers receive more consideration from the Witty
combe administration than if they were alien residents
and not much aliens if they happen to hail from the

MangIes 5-Year Old Boy;

Lewis Faulding Squ'er, the three year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Squier,

and killed by the 3:46 Southern Pa

noon.

With the boy was his brother Ed

Rex and Ray Rhoten, the four year old
twins of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Rhoten,
of $40 East Rural street.
1t seems that the children in their

about mile south of town. 1t is
thought the three older children had
crossed the tfestle but three year old
Lewis had hesitated in crossing when
he was struck by the Coos bay train.

view i1uu Dugn giTut on, unu presently
came out upon the rim Of q high wall.
Beneath, like green gulf seen
through blue haze, lay an .amphitheater
walled in on the two sides he could
see. It lay perhaps thousand feet
below him; and, plain as all the other
features of that wild environment,
there shone out big red stone or
adobe cabin, white water shining
away between borders, and horses
and cattle dotting the levels. 1t was
peaceful, beautiful scene. Duane
could not help grinding his teeth at
the thought Of rustlers living in quiet
and ease.
Duane worked halfway down to
the level, and, well hidden In niche,
he seated himself to watch both trail
and valley.
The sun went down behind the
wall, and shadows were born in the
darker places of the valley. Duane
began to want to get closer to that
cabin. Still he fingered. And sudden
ly his wide-roving eye caught sight OF
two horsemen riding up the valley.
They must have entered Mt point
below, round the huge abutment of
rock, beyond Duane's range Of sight.
Their horses were tired and stopped
at the stream for a long drink.
Duane left his perch, took to the
steep trail, and descended as fast as
he could without making noise. 1t
did not take him long to reach the
valley floor. 1t was almost level.
with deep grass, and here and there
clumps Of bushes. Twilight was al
ready thick down there. Duane
marked the location Of the trail, and
then began to slip like shadow
through the grass and from bush to
bush. He saw a bright light before he
made out the dark outline of the
cabin. Then he heard voices, a merry
whistle, coarse song, and the clink
of iron cooking utensils. He smelled
fragrant wood smoke. He saw NOV
ing dark figures cross the light. Evil
IDENTIFY there was wide door, or else
the fire was out in the open.
Duane swerved to the left, out Of
direct line with the light, and thus was
able to see better. Then he advanced
noiselessly but swiftly toward the back
Of the house. There were trees close
to the wall. He would make no noise,
and he could scarcely be seen-if only
there was no watchdog! But all his
outlaw days he had taken risks with
only his useless life at stake; now,
with that changed, he advanced,
stealthy and bold as an Indian. He
reached the cover Of the trees, knew
he was hidden in their shadows, for
at few PAGES distance he had been
able to see only their tops. From
there he slipped up to the house and
felt along the wall with his hands.
He came to a little window where
light shone through. He peeped in.
He saw room shrouded in shadows.
a lamp turned low, a table, chairs.
He saw an open door, with bright flare
beyond, but could not see the fire.
Voices came indistinctly. He went on
round that end of the cabin. Fortune
favored him. There were bushes, an
old shed, a wOod-pile, all the cover
he needed at that corner. He did not
even need to crawl.
Before he peered between the rough
corner Of wall and the bush growing
close to 1t, Duane paused moment.
This excitement was different from
