REPRESENTATIVE DOUBLE, SON (Special to Tho Bulletin.) SALEM, Jan. 59. Even a wlso boy does not always recognize his own father. This has been demonstrated in the case of the little son of Rep resentative Denton G. Durdick. Mr. Burdlck's boy strolled Into the lobby nnd, approaching the man whom he thought to bo his father, asked for, nnd insisted that he be given, some money wun wnicn to ouy canay. ine boy refused to be satisfied that he was not talking to his own father, nnd tho man good-naturedly gave him a coin. The question now is, has Mr. Durdick a double? If he has, the other man Is George L. My ers of rortland, who strikingly re sembles Mr. Durdick. Dr. It. E. Lee Stcincr, superin tendent of the state hospital, was host last night to 15 of the newspa per men who are reporting the pro- ceedlngs of tho present session, as well as the ex-newspaper men who are In Salem at present. The Invit ing was done by the newspaper men themselves. Tho guests Included newspaper men from an over the state. Don J. Upjohn proposed a toast to tho memory of the late Col onel John Cradlebaugh, veteran newspaper man and poet, whose death took place since the 1919 ses sion. These biennial dinners are given each session by Dr. Stelner, who, in his early days, was in newspaper work. Ask More Judges. Senator Eberhard of La Grande has Introduced a bill which alms to increase the number of circuit judges In Oregon from 26 to 44, and the number of circuit Judicial districts would be increased from 20 to 36 by the passage of the bill. At present the 26 circuit Judges draw salaries of $4000 each. Another bill, intro duced by a large number of senators jointly. Is now pending which would increase the salaries of the circuit judges from $4000 to $5000 a year. Should both bills pass, the annual salaries would be increased by $116,- 000, or a total of $220,000. The local Tlraborworkers union went on record as opposing a con vict's box factory, proposed In a bill now pending in the legislature, and this has been followed by a protest from the local Loyal Legion of Log. gers and Lumbermen, In which they declare that such a factory "would place free labor In competition with convict labor and would disrupt la bor conditions to a large extent." i The Four VTe, like the Timber- workers, hag sent copies of its reso lution to Governor Olcott, the presi dent of the senate, the speaker of tho house, and to each member of the senate and bouse. Senator Lachmund and Strayer, with the sanction of the state land board, have introduced a bill giving tho land board, Instead of the state treasurer, custody-of all notes, bonds nnd otbor securities covering loans made by It from common school, col lege, university, or othor funds. Marriago mil In. Senator Ryan Introduced a bill to increase the salary of the state printer from $2400 to $3000, Representative Shanks has offered n bill providing that school teachers shall not be entitled to pay for a longer period than two weeks when n school Is closed by tho direction of tho board on account of the preva lence of contagious diseases or other causes. It Incorporated into a teach er's contract, this period may bo ox tonded. Senator Smith has Introduced a bill under which any person desir ing to obtain a marriage license from tho county clerk must first undergo both a mental and physical examina tion at tho bands of some regularly licensed physician.

Completion of a 15-mile grade for a later extension of the Brooks-Scan Ion logging railroad system was made last week, but there Is a strong likelihood that no steel will be laid except on the first two miles, for at least a year, It Is stated. The new grade taps the already ex isting line which crosses The Dalles California highway a few miles out of Bend. It extends through coun try which has as its chief landmark the Arnold ice caves, passing. In fact. between two of the caves. The con struction completed will make log ging possible from a greatly extended territory. Cost of laying steel on tho grade Just finished has not been computed Anton Aune was the contractor. The Middle Initial. With the exception of William H. Toft, Senator Harding Is the Unit President since Rutherford B. Hayes, to use more than one Christian name Orover Cleveland, William McKlnley, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson (who dropped his first name Tliomus, early In the career) got nlong without middle names or Initials. The middle Initial, incidentally, Is almost exclusively an American characteris tic An Englishman may call himself John James Smith, but practically nev. er John J. Smith. A Frenchman may he baptised Auguxte Charles Jesus Marie Georges Duiont, but he will be known to the world as Georges Du pont, und probably will sign himself G. Dupont. The use of more than one given name Is puzzling to a Frenchman. When Senator Lodge Is mentioned In the French press, he Is never "II. Lodge," but "M. Cabot Lodge," or as one prominent Paris dally writes It, MM. Cabot-Lodge." The President-Elect may look forward to be known on the continent as "President Gamaliel Hard ing." Editorial Digest. Much Retln In Hawaiian Tree. When you pull n piece of bark of! the chunky old monkey-pod tree, re ports a traveler recently In Hawnll, you smell so much resin that It seems to you that the hot sun alone would be enough lo set the bark flaming like a torch. It makes a tall, pointed flame, like the flame on n big candle. Fire lurks In the tree somewhere, that Is certain. They .say that nt one time the old Ilawnllifns tapped the tree as Americans do a sugar maple. Eleventh Child, Eleven Pounder, Born At Eleven An 11-pound boy. the 11th to bo born to Mr. and Mrs. P.

In her In finity the winding trails had been her playground, nnd long ngn she hnd iir quired the mountaineer's sixth sense for traversing ihein nt night. She hml need of Hint knowledge now. She sllppoil Into her free, swinging stride; nnd the Inst beams from the windows of Hie house were soon lost In the pines behind her. It wns one of those silent, hrcnthlfs. nights with which no mountaineer Is entirely unnciiunlnt oil. nnd for n long time the only sound she couhl hear wns her own soft tramp in Hie pine needles. The trees themselves wero motionless. That peculiar sound, not greatly different from thnt of running water which the wind often makes In the pine tops, wns entirely locking. Not that she could be deceived by It as stories tell that certain tenderfect. dying o thirst In the barren hills, have boon Hut she always liked the sound; and she missed It especially tonight, She felt that If she would stop to listen, there would be ninny faint sounds In the thickets those little hushed noises thnt the wild things mnke to remind nlgtit-wnmlcrers of their presence. Ititt she did not In the least core to hear these sounds. They do not tend townrd pence o mind on a long walk over the ridges. ine wilderness began at once. Whatever Influence townrd clvlllzn tlon her father's house had brought to the wilds Chopped off as beneath blade In the first fringe of pines. Tills Is nllogethcr characteristic of the Ore gon forests. They tiro much too big and too old to be tnmed In any large degree by the presence of one house. No one knew this fact better than Lennox himself who. In a hard win ter of four years before, hnd looked out of his window to And the wolf pack ranged In n hungry circle nbout his house. Within two hundred yardr after she had passed through her fa titer's door, she was perfectly aware that the wild wns stirring' and throb bing with life nbout her. At first she tried very hard to think of other things. But the attempt wasn't en tlrcly a success. And before she hnd covered the first of the twelve miles, the sounds that from the first had been knocking at the door of her con sciousness began to mnke an entrance, If a person lies still long enough, he can usually hear his heart beating and the flow of his blood In bis arteries. Any sound, no matter how faint, will make itself heard nt Inst. It was this way with a very peculiar noise thnt crept up through the silence from the trail behind her. She wouldn't give It any heed nt first. But In n very little while Indeed, It grew fo Insistent that she could no longer disregard It. Some living creature wns trot tin along on tho trail behind, keeping ai proximately the same distance be tween them. Foregoing any attempt to Ignore It, she set her cool young mind to think ing what manner of beast It might be. Its step was not greatly different from that of n large dog except possibly a dog would have made slightly more noise. Yet she couldn't even be sure of this basic premise, because this animal, whatever It might he, had nt first seemingly moved with utmost caution, but now took less core with Its step than Is customary with the wild denizens of the woods. A wolf, for Instance, can simply drift when It wishes, and the silence of a cougar Is a name. Vet unlers her pursuer were a dog, which seemed entirely unlikely, It wns certainly one of these two. She would have liked very much to believe the step wns that of Old Wolf the bear, suddenly curious as to what this dim light of hers might be; but she couldn't bring herself to accept the lie. Woof, except when wounded or cornered. Is the most ninlnble creu- lure In the Oregon woods, nnd It would give her almost n sense of se curity to have him waddling uiong behind her. The wolves and cougur, remembering the arms of Woof, would not be nearly so curious. But unfor tunately, the black bear hnd never done sueh n thing In the memory of man, and If he had, he would have made six limes ns much noise. He enn go fairly softly when ho Is si a Ik ing, but when ho Is obliged to tro ns ho would be obliged to do to keep up with a swlft-wnlklng litnnaii figure be cracks twigs like a rolling log. She bud the Impression that the nul- mill behind had been passing like smoke at first, but wasn't taking the trouble to do It now. The sound was a soft pnt-pnt on Ihe Irull sometimes entirely obliterated but always recurring when she began to believe that she had only fancied Its presence. Sometimes n twig, rnln- soaked though It was, cracked beneath n lieiivy 7imt, "nfiTI iijiiiTii nml iixuTn she hrtird Ihe brush crilhlng nnd. rustling ns something passed through, Sometime, whrn the trail wns cov ered with soft pine needles. It was prnrtlcntly Indlstlngiilshnhte, The nnlmnl wn npprotltnntrly one hundred fort behind. It wasn't n wolf, she thought. Tha wolves rnn In pucks this sensou, nnd except In winter were more ufrnld of buiiinn beings thnn any other living crenture. It wnsn't n lynx one of those curiosity-devoured lit tle frllnes that will mew nil dny on n trail nnd never dnre come mur. It wns min-h too Inrge for n lynx. The feet fell too solidly. There were no dogs In the mountains to follow nt heel; nnd she hnd no desire whatever to meet Sting, the faithful hybrid that used to be her gunrdlnn In the hills. For Shng hnd gone to his well-deserved rest several seasons before. Two other possibilities remained. One wns that this follower wns n human being, the other thnt It wns n cougur. Ordinarily n tiuuinn being Is much more potentially dangerous to n wom an In the bills nt night than n cougnr. A cougar Is nn nbject cownrd nnd some men nro not. But Snowbird felt herself entirely capable of hnnilllii nny humnn foes. They would hnvu nn ndvnntnge over her; they would have no purpose In killing from nmhtiMi nnd she trusted to her own marks manship implicitly. While It Is nn ex tremely difficult thing to shoot nt cougnr leaping from the thicket, a tnll man standing on a trail presents an ens j tnrget. Besides, she bad a vngne sense of discomfort that If this nnlmnl were a cougnr, he wasn't nctlng true to form. Ho was altogether too hold, The animal on the trail behind her was inking no enre at all to go silent ly. He wns simply plt-pnttlng nlong, wholly nt his ease. He acted .is If the fear thnt men have Instilled In bis breed wns somehow missing. And Hint Is why she Instinctively tried to hurry on tho trail. The step kept pace. For n long mile, up a barren ridge, she henrd every step It inmle. Then, ns tho brush closed deeper around her, she couldn t hear It at all. She hurried on, straining to tho silence. No. the sound was stopicd. Could It be thnt the nnlmnl, fearful at lost, hod turned from her trail! And then for the first time n gasp thnt was not greatly different from n de- She Heard the Steps Again, spalrlng sob caught nt her throat. She henrd tho steps ngaln, nnd they were In the thickets Just beside her. Two hours before Snowbird hnd left the house, on her long trump to the ranger station, Dim had started homo. lie hadn't shot until sunset, ns ho had planned. He rodo one of Lennox's cnttlu ponies, tho only piece of horse-flesh that Bill hnd not tnken to the valleys when he hnd driven down the live stock. She wns n pretty bay, n spir ited, lilgh-brcd innro that could whip nbout on her hind legs nt the touch of the rein on her neck. She made good time nlong Ihe trail. And nn hour be fore sunset he passed tho only humnn tmbltntlon between tho iniirsh nnd Lennox's house the cabin thnt hnd been recently occupied by Landy ui. drelh. He glanced nt tho plnco ns he pnssed nnd snw Hint II was deserted. No smell of wood smoko remained In the nlr.

It hnd evidently been neglected for nmrly nn hour. Then he cnlled Snowbird. Ills voice echoed In the silent room, unnnswered. He cnlled ngnln. then went to took for her. At the door of the dining room ho found tho note that she hnd left for him. It told, very simply nnd plainly, flint her father lay Injured In hi ho1, nnd he wn to remnln nnd do whnt ho couhl for him.

And the first thing ho snw when he opened tho door wn Ihe grizzled mnn's gray fnce on the pillow. "You'te homo early, lnn." he snld. "How mnny did you getl" It wns entirely chnnirtorlstle. Shnggy old Woof Is too proud to bowl over Iho wounds Hint Iny him low, nnd this gray old bonr on Ihn hod hnd pnr tnken of bis spirit. "GirfMl Iml," Dan nnswored. "How hndly nro you hurt?"
