Boys Are The Principal
Law Breakers Nowadays

Criminal business now days in Sa-
lem and vicinity is mostly in the line
of arresting and chasing boys from IA
to II years old.
A few days ago two boys about 16
years Of age were arrested with a car
they had sotlen in Seattle.
Yesterday morning two boys one 10
and the other 1s years old were arrest
ed, the two having stolen a car in Port
land and brought it to Salem. One of
these boys was from the Oregon REFORM
school and was out on parole. He is
now in the reform school and the other
boys will receive the attention of the
police authorities.
Two runaway boys from Roseburg
were taken from an early morning
train by the police and lodged in the
city Jail. The father of the boys is
coming after them. They are II and
Is years of age.
-Four boys escaped yesterday after
noon from the reform school and head
ed south. Up to noon today they had
not been caught.
This morning the Marshfield police
authorities wired Salem that they had
two boys about Is years of age that
could not give a satisfactory account
Of themselves.
+ Every week a number of complaints
come into police headquarters as to the
doings of boys from IA to II years old
Last night two boys, each about IA
years old, stole an ice cream freezer
from the house at AGA North Liberty
street. The police arrested them but
rather than get into trouble for good
they paid the price of new freezer.

Olson S Appointment May
Be Unconstitutional

Question has been raised as to whe-
ther the appointment of Conrad 2. Oh
son, who was a member of the state
senate at the last session Of the legis,
lature, to the office of justice Of the
supreme court to fill vacancy is con.
stitutional because of the fact that
the 1917 legislature passed a law pro
viding that the salaries of justices Of
the supreme court should be S4500 q
year instead of $4,000.
Justice Olson today asked the attor-
ney general for an opinion as to whe-
ther his appointment is legal and he is
constitutionally qualified to hold the
office by appointment.
Prior to the law passed by the last
legislature justices of the supreme
court had been receiving $4500 year,
but only $4,000 Of it was termed sal
ary and $2500 was designated as ex'
pense.
Justice Olson, in his letter to the
attorney general says that in 1917 q
law was passed consolidating the com.
pensations Of the supreme justices.
He contends that the compensation was
not increased, and therefore the section
of the constitution which provides that
no senator shall be appointed to an
office the emolument of which have
been increased during the term foi
which the senator was elected does not
apply.
81 have resigned my senatorship,
he says, o'given up my law practice
and am performing the duties Of d
justice Of the supreme court. but
do not wish to do this work or draw
any salary if there is any flaw in my
title thereto. Nor do desire in any
way to embarrass Secretary of State
Olcott or State Treasurer Kay. / have
not as yet cashed the warrant for ser
vices performed the last few days OF
September, and shall not do so unit
the question is settled

with the wishes Of the State Council of

This rule has been observed by number

that Salem will be dry town from the

MAN POWER IS
GOOD On DIME

That freighting conditions on Dime
creek. in the Seward peninsula coun-
try, the scene of the placer strike Of
last summer, reminds one very much
Of the conditions which confronted the
early-day stampeders from Skagwav
and Dyea to Dawson, is the report
that comes from the new camp. In
fact, it is stated that a man packing
freight on his back can now make al
most as much money per day at Dime
creek as he could packing over Chill
koot pass in the early days.
The freighting is being done from
Dime Landing, on the Koyuk river
to Dime creek, a distance of six and
one-half miles. For this short distance
a charge of $50 per ton for freighting
is being made, The reason for the
high charge is that the trails are prac.
tically impossible on account of a lack
of snow
This condition of affairs is having a
great deal to do with the holding back

of mining development work on Dime,
according to report. Another reason
for the holding back of mining is the
fact that sufficient wood cannot be
freighted to the claims on which work
is being done to keep the boilers fired
up. 1t is hoped, however, that condi-
tons can be made better next summer
by a wagon road which the Alaska
road commission has promised to in
stall for the benefit o. the Dime min
ers.
There will be a number of outfits
mining on Dime during the coming
mining season. There are, however,
no new strikes of material importance.

trict at the present time, which, the
report says, is all that the camp will

How Widows Get Credit in Stores.

There is an article in the Ameri-
can Magazine on Who should Get
Credit" The author says:
widows comprise a dificult prob
lem for every retail credit depsrt-
ment, You can't ask a widow what
her husbands occupation or sslary
is. Maybe she lives in a boarding.
place. She is unemployed, and has
not established credit at other stores
in the city. She may have inde-
pendent means. or she may be an
adventuresss. Even IL she had
every intention OF paying her biIls.
a woman's desire for clothes often
destroys her sense Of balance.
What is a credit man TO do in the
case of a widow? He can ask her
for names of her acquaintance, who
may serve as referees. Or, II she
has not been in the city long, hs
can ask where she dealt in the city,
where she lived before. In fact.
il he can learn where she came
from, and he has to do is 10 get inf
touch with the retail credit an
sociation there. II she had credit
ct stores in that city and paid her
bills promptly-or didn't pay them
her record is on file."
