FIGHTING MONSTER OK THE DEEP PURSUES Mill' Houston, Texas. An unknown monster of the deep, forty feet in length, coper colored and with a hond over 15 feet In width, for four days ind nights played tag with the fish ing schooner Mendocino and when the schooner failed to respond, vainly tried to push it out of the sea. The fish appeared the second day nut, coming to the surface about a half mile astern of the Mendocino and nil of the day It could be seen leis urely training the vessel, rolling over and disporting itself as it kept pace with the ship. For three days the fish kept as tern of the vessel when it decided to perfect a closer acquaintance. Put ting on speed It same abreast of the ship and stnrtod some antics which caused no little concern aboard the ship. Kunning along side it would sirape itself against the side of the vessel, scoot ahead and then roll and luy on its back until the vessel caught t:p. Then It would dive under the vessel or swim around it as if in play. Evidently the fish became disgust ed over the failure of the vessel to play and planned a fight. The watch ing sailors suddenly saw the fish, sweeping leisurely astern, suddenly disappear. A minute later the vessel shook from stem to stern as though hitting n rock. It keeled u little, but righted Itself as the fish came to view at Its side. Diving again and again the fish Jammed Its blunt nose on tho bottom of the vessel, the re sult being only a tremor. Failing to make the vessel play or fight the fish rose to the surface and with a mighty slap of its tall on the water sank fro mvicw. A few mo ments later it was sighted a mile as tern, swlming from the ship. That v.as the last seen of It. The monster evidently was well along In years for it was covered with barnacle some as large as a saucer. Revolver and rifle balls fired from the deck of the Mendocino at close range had no effect. WOfM) REGULATE ALL P1HCES. President Van llise of University of Wisconsin Ha Trust Cure. Hoston. The regulation of prices by a national commission similar to the Interstate commerce commission rather than the general dissolution by the government of the so-enlled trusts, was urged by President Charles H. Van Hlse of the University of Wisconsin in an address on "Con centration in Industry" before the students of Harvard University. Dr. Van Hlse is one of the closest per sonal and political friends of Sena tor Robert M. Ijx Follette of Wiscon sin. "I would not take anyone's property, but 1 would have those who own property recognize that such ownership involves obligations to the public," he said. "I believe that every one who holds property, whether it be the great mineral deposits of the earth, such as iron or coal, or a forty acre farm, owns that property in trust for himself and the nation, and must be made to administer that property for the common good." SERPENT. KITCHEN ETTE, A HE CAUSES OF DIVOHCE Idle I. lie. says Judge, Has Much to Do With So Many Sciratlons. Los Angeles. The serpent of Eden tempting the Eves of the present day, and married life in two rooms and a kitchenette were the causes given by Judge W. M. Conley of Madera, who Is sitting in extra sessions here, as un derlying the facts contained In a sta tistical statement of County Clerk I.elande that there Is one divorce in Los Angeles in every three marriages The jurist said that the devil, aid ed by the restricted accommodations and consequent idle apartment house life of women, was responsible for the larger part of the divorce mill grist. The high cost of living also has s me thing to do with the widespread de sire of sunder matrimonial ties. Speaking of a remedy. Judge Con ley said: "Flour and vegetable gardens which would occupy the idle moments of women, and keep them in the open, would tend to le:-sen the divorce evil. "Eighty per cent of the men in California earn about $75 per month." added Judge Conley, "and some wo men spend a month's wages to get a feather for their hats." w M rnsints THAT DO NOT END XMAS Gifts that are sure to please man, woman and Ixiy.

STORE PORTER'S WIDOW GETS TWELVE THOUSAND DAMAGES Spokane, Wash. Mrs. Oliver, wid ow of John A. Oliver, a Pullman cai porter, killed in a wreck at Cheney. Wash., on January 4. 1911, was awarded Judgment for J 12,500 against the Northern Pacific Railway com pany in the United States "district court here, under the federal employ ers' liability act. Judge Frank Kad kin, who sustained the verdict, at a previous hearing, non-suited the ac tion, which was for $25,000 damages, on the- ground that as Oliver had lgneii an agreement with the Pun. man and the Northern Pacific cum- 'ames his widow was unable to ob ain relief under the common carriers- act.

After living as a recluse for more than ten years and supposed to have been poverty strick en, it was found that Mrs. Alice Qulnn, eighty years old, of No. 2808 Miller street, died possessed of more than $25,000, practically all of which she bequeathed to the family of J. Newhold Edgar, a wealthy man of East Thirty-ninth street. New York City, for whom she once worked as a servant.

POVERTY NO RAR TO YOUNG MEN OP STATE University of Oregon. Burns Pow ell, of Monmouth, Earl Jones of Dal las, and Leon Ray of Eugene, three of the most prominent seniors at the University of Oregon, are demon strating that any high school stu dent, who has the necessary ambi tion and energy, can not only get a higher education without financial aid, but also may win the highest political, literary and forensic hon ors of the college. Powell, editor of the Oregon Em erald, and president and leader of the glee club, by p'aying in the town or chestra and doing other work in the summer, has thus far kept the wolf from the door, although he is entire ly dependent upon his own resources for his support. Jones, pre.-ident of the student Y. M. C. A., and editor of the Engineer ing Magazine, not being gifted with musical ability, has earned his way by the more humble vocations of clerking, store sweeping and milking a family cow. Despite this some what burdensome outside work, Jones finds time to take part in student ac tivities. In the summer time Jones digs sewers or does anything else that will turn him an honest penny for use in the winter. Ray, president of the student body, and a member of one of Oregon's championship debating teams, has followed the adage, "A penny saved is a penny earned," and by batching In a little cabin out in the suburbs of Eugene, has cut dow n living expenses to a minimum. His board bill aver ages about $6 50 a month. HERMISTON LIGHT PLANT IS SOLD LEO SI PE IS NEW OWNER OF PUBLIC UTILITY CANADA NOT U. S. FOE.

Chlsholm, the option will expire January 15th and Mr. Shupe announces that he will be here with his family before that time to take possession and to make this his home in the future. Mr. Shupe is a young man and has had a great deal of experience in this work. He will take active charge of the plant, also will carry a full line of materials, and the company will do wiring also. The s.ttlers on this project expect ed to hear something in regard to the graduation of the water right pay ments on December 5th, but the gov ernment has not sent any word in, it U expected, however, that inside of the next few days that something will be heard from the government in regard to this. They have given no reason why they did not submit a piopositlon before the meeting of the board of water users' association. It is a question as to whether a grad uation will be had in time to effect the next payment or not. The next water right payments are to be paid March 1st, 1912. E H. Bauermeister and William C. Kik of Spokane have each purchased 80 acres of land of Thomas C. Coff mun. Mr. Coftman was one of the first to take out desert land entries on this project, he having filed on his desert Jand entry in 1904. Both of these men will make this project tneir home. John s.

Mr. Park met her as she al ghted from the train and they repaired to the Presbyterian Manse where the ceremony was per formed, and they started housekeep ing immediately after the ceremony. UNTAMED CHILD OF NATURE NEAR DEATH Islil Contracts Pneumonia After He Unri!s to Weur White Man's Clothe--. San Francisco. Steam-heated sieeping apartments, modern menus and clvil'zed wearing apparel came near bringing about the undoing of Ishi, the Aborigine from Tehama, who has been in captivity for several monts past. Ishl recently contracted pneumonia, and for a time it looked a though the "untame child of na ture" would die. While he had roam ed, half-clad, through the fore-ts of Northern California in all kinds of weather, subsisting on berries, roots and rudely prepared meats. Ishl was a stranger to Mines. But two months of city l'fe undermined the savage's health, and but for the efforts of the physicians at the Affiliated Colleges Ishl probably would have journeyed to the happy hunting ground. He Is still confined to his room, but is re ported to be out of danger. ADVERTISING IN ESPERANTO. DOG CALLS AID To MASTER. Summons ijH Wife- When nc u Seri ously Hurt by Wilmington, Del.

Adams, agent, Pendleton. l.oi'dcii Declare pig Vote Aguiiist Re ciprocity Wns Ha--l on Economic Principles mid Not on Hostility Toward Uncle Sam. New York. No spirit of unfriend liness to the United States influenced the verdict of the Canadian people at the recent election, declared Robert1 Laird Rorden, Premier of Canadi. when he reached New York after spending a few days at Atlantic City. Accompanied by Mrs. Borden, the Premier left the Canadian capital last Saturday for u week's rest before tak ing up the work of preparation for the coming session of the Canadian Parliament, which opens Nov. 1",, Canada Not Hostile. "As I am on a holiday, and a much needed one, I don't care to enter into a discussion of public affairs." said the Canadian leader. "I will say this, however: The verdict of tho Canadi an people on the issues submitted M them at tho recent elections were not induced by any spirit of unfriendliness to the United States. No such spirit exists. The proposals of the Canadi an government were regarded as a de parture from the policy of the past thirty years, and the people did not desire to reverse that policy." I Ni Comment on Steel. Mr. Borden would not comment on the action of the United States gov ernment against the United State-" Steel corporation. "The operations of the Steel corporation In Canada are not extensive," he said. "We have no Steel corporation there that controls the trade to any extent, so that we are not vitally interested as yet in that problem," ho concluded. Esperanto has conquered. The president of a large New York busi ness corporation writes to the Office Window: "We are using some Espe ranto magazines as advertising me diums, and with better results than from many of the magazines publish ed in English. Scarcely a day passes without our having one or more re quests for catalogues and prices, and these not only from the United States but from Europe." This is the test of "getting there." If Ksperano has succeeded In "putting itself over" as an advertising proposition, its pos tion may be regarded as usstired. No one hereafter can say that it is dead liotli Procsos Painful. "What is that awful yel'ing?" "Oh. there's a dentist next door; it's probable that somebody is getting a tooth out." "No. not next door; 1 mean in tho flat overhead?" "Oh, that's probably Newed's baby getting a tooth In!" Stray Stories. The cackle of hen is much more melodious now than in the spring.
