Colonel John H. Cradebaugh, news of whose death
yesterday afternoon brought sorrow to many friends was
long connected with the editorial staff OF the Capital

his heart endeared him those with whom he worked and
lived vigorous intelligent editorial writer poet OF
no attanments his wit and sense OF humor made
him favorite with the readers of this paper and his
death leaves void that will not soon be filled
Colonel Cradlebaugh's career varied and inter-
estng covering period of 70 years. many of which were
spent among the exciting Of Virginia City in the
old bonanza days. where he miner newspapeman and
attorney Once only did he fill public office that OF dis

cutor were distastefu to him and he resigned He
was during those days. friend Of Mark Twain and Bret
Harte and his little volume Of poems, issued few years
ago. would be fit library company for the works OF these
famous Westerners in any home
His death removes from the stage of action another
of that fast diminishing type Of pioneer Their adven-
turous spirits blazed the way for the civilization of to-
day. and men like Colonel Cradebaugh have lived to see
the Pacific coast country which ured them with it's pros
poets of excitement and adventure pass from the wilder
stage to that of high Development wealth and pop
uaton Possibly these pioneers buided better than they
knew more likely they glmpsed with prophetic vision the
glorious future Of the western slope of the Rocky noun
tains the "Land Where Dreams Come True, as Colonel
Cradebaugh has so beautifully expressed it in one OF hs
poems-and he lived to the dream reality in his
beautiful Oregon country before he crossed the divide
He had shared the hardshps of the pioneer with forude
and had braved the dangers of mining camp and trail With
stout heart and sturdy courage But the time came When
his work was finished when the iron constitution gave
way to advancing years. and that civilization which fol
lows closely upon the track of the pioneer gave nm
rich reward for loving hearts watched him In the
long illness so uncompainingy borne while the minis
taton Of tender hands sought to smooth away his pan
and suffering the end drew near and he closed his eyes
in peaceful content upon world he had helped to make
cheerful and bright and happy for those around him.

OREGON Insurance
COMPANIES HAVE BIG
4 BILLION RESERVE
Insurance Commission Says
No Danger OF Them Be-
coming InsOlvent.

The 45 life insurance companies do
ing business in Oregon hold reserve
of $4,507 ,45l ,65S, which is ample to
meet all claims which may arise on ae-
count of deaths due to the war and
the influenza epidemic, points out In
surance Commissioner Wells in state
ment issued to allay the fears of policy
holders who thought that the companies
might become insolvent The state
ment says:
sThe mortaliay due to war service
has been so little above the normal
that number of the life insurance
companies have already announced that
they will pay all such claims in full,
regardless of whether permits for such
service had been secured or not, and
win return all extra premiums receiv-
ed for war service permits.
'sSuch companies are much more
concerned over the great loss of life
throughout this entire country from
the influenza epidemic. In some Of the
larger cities the mortality from this
plague reached the proportion of IA
per 1000 of the population, covering
period of nine weeks only:
Express Concern.
''Many policyholders are expressing
concern as to the security of the com.
panies in which their life insurance is
placed. They inquire if the reserve
held by such companies are adequate
to care for such emergencies2 I am
pleased to be able to advise them that
life insurance as transacted by the legal
reserve companies operatind in this
state makes ample provision for such
emergencies. Their rates are based upon
mortality tables derived from the ex
perience of life insurance companies
covering q period of many years. Epi
denies were formerly more frequent
than now and no less virulent so the
experience from which our present tab
les of life insurance rates were formu
lated must have included similar ex
perienees.
"Life insurance companies. for fur
ther safety of their policy holders

funds to provide for any emergency
The forty five life insurance eompan

WORK, OR WORK.

The number Of criminals in the British penal nsttu
tionsons has fallen off fifty per since the be-
gan.
Sir Evelyn Brise, chairman of the British prison
commissions gives two reasons for this The war and
concentrated policy Of purifying young criminals"
The war has taught further lesson to other coun
tries besides Great Britain which is that men be
forced either to work or to fight.
The injustice early became apparent of sending to
war and mobiizng in industry all our best youth while
abeboded who did nothing but eat and make trouble
AS result in city after city, the work-orfight policy
has been put into successful operation to point where
the loafer, always menace has practically disappeared
from his haunts.
There is no reason why the cessation of the war
should return to the DID, careless crmebreeding
methods for experience in handling this phase of
emergency has taught city governments that be
forced not only to penal servude but also to the plain
everyday taking Of jobs and holding them. 1t is mere
matter of exercising authority.
Municipal employment agencies and clearing houses
and the welfare of the people demands the aboshment
of the loafer and all his kind.
This has been done as measure. 1t should be
continued peace mesaure.
Municipal employment agencies and clearing house
for labor should be maintained to this end and frequent
census of labor taken.

THEWLFE
BRIAN A TRUE PROPHET.
By Jane Phelps
.HH3833Ha33HEH3HBH8
CHAPTER CXIII.

CHAPTER CAlll.
The United States had declared war
What had led up to this declaration, is
now an old story; too old to repeat here.
Brian Hackett's IS excitement was intense.
The night the papers proclaimed in
black headlines that Uncle Sam had de-
cided to join the allies, he never slept
wink, neither did he allow Ruth to
do so. He talked all night long.
'sWe will surely win, but it's going
to be still fight, Ruth, Lots of men
who go over never will come back. But
we III whip 'em, sure as IN Yank.
Geel but ! IN glad we re in it at last.
l must get down early, / don't want
my name at the foot of the list of men
volunteering. / should be ashamed to
look in the glass if | wasn't some
where near the top of the line"
"What am / to do, Brian?' Ruth
had listened to his rawlings very quiet
ly. He had talked for such long time,
aud not one word Of her, his sorrow at
leaving her, her lonliness when he should
be gone; or the anxiety she would suf-
fer.
"Go right along doing just what you
are doing now, course. That is what
makes It possible for me to goyour
being able to take care of yourself"
Brian did not intend to be cruel, but
nevertheless he was. Ruth shivered, and
hot tears welled up in her eyes. That
was all the thought he had for her.
She was capable of earning her living;
let her do it, was his attitude.
81 shall worry so, Brian.
''Nonsensel Think of the poor women
who can't earn money like you can,
whose husbands will have to go, Yon

of what big boy Uncle Sam is, and
what row he can kick up when he

whereabouts Of the remains. Sheriff
Orr was set on the trail and has final

Paris, Dec. 1S.-The statesman of Eu-
rope are laughing at President Wilson 8
jokes. He was noted in Washington as
story teller and his reputation in that
regard is already made here. Premier
Clemenceau especially enjoyed some of
the Presidents illustrative quips.
Though they deeply appreciate the
honors shown the president, the Ameri
can party is glad the ceremonies are
ended So they can get down to work.
More silk hats have been on exhibi-
tion in Paris during the past few days
than at any time since 1914.
The Place Concorde is little Amer
lea. Dozens of American automobiles
are always parked in front of the Grill
lon hotel. American statesmen and sol
diers are always about. There is al
ways the greatest variety of visitors
to American headquarters in the Grill
lon.
Among those today was Jan Pader-
ewski, who came to discuss the Polish
situation.
Prince Murat' IS palace is now general
ly referred to as the "white house.

appearance of President and Mrs. viii.
