"ractice Before Interior Denart. mrtnf hlngton. Ausr. A. Pnrev C. Fa. of Salem, was today admitted frCtIc6 before tha Interior de- ient. Portland, Or., Aug. 4. An Oregon man, formerly from the east, who recently relumed to scenes of earlier years and brought out to tho Pacific coast about 30 old friends, was ask ed to state what Is tho greatest diffi culty in trying to induce eastern people to come to Oregon to live. Without hesitation, he replied: "Two hundred dollars." "Two hundred dollars why, and what for?" "For bringing a carload of what appears .to be junk from St. Paul or Missouri river territory to Portland. Why tho railroad companies charge so much Is a problem too deep for me. I only know that they are charg ing too much, and that the charge makes hundred of middle west peo ple hesitate and postpone after you have talked to them and practically won them to Oregon. 'The farmer who would come to Oregon can sell his land in the mid dle west for all it is worth, but he can't get much for his old machin ery, and his household goods. If he sacrifices these must Invest a considerable sum of money In new things when he gets to his. new loca tion. He prefers to bring the stuff along, for It will serve his needs. He also has , perhaps, half a dozen fine-bred cows and two or three splendid teams of draft horses. Un der tho existing metods of the rail roads, it is practically out of the question for him to bring the live stock. When he finally concludes to leave It and bring his household stuff he finds thnt ho must pay ?200 for a. car for the latter. It Is just about double the amount that should be charged." Considering the enormous need for men, and particularly farmers, to de velop Oregon and tho whole Pacific northwest, It would be assumed that tho railroad companies would place the lowest proportionate charge on the homeseeker's freight destined from the middle west to tho Pacific coast. It Is found, however, that a charge of $200 Is made for a car, and that this is surrounded with many restrictions that many times Interfere with tho bringing of the average household and the trade machinery or farm equipment of its head. In addition, each member of the family pays fare, and by the time the ordinary family of five or six persons gets to Oregon with the household outfit the railroads have collected aggregate tariffs of nearly $400. After thefarmer has figured out all this in advance of a decision to move, he In most cases concludes that It will not pay him to emigrate to Oregon. The samo car that ho Is offered, at $200 to bring his second-hand goods west has Just been hauled east with a load of new goods for $120 to $150. This Is tho rate for a car lot of new lumber from Portland to St. Paul and Omaha. The men who nro strlvinsr to tret Immigration to Oregon wonder why tho railroad companies should haul a load of lumber out of tho country for 30 per cent less freight charge than Uiey will haul In an ablo-bodlea homeseeker. When It Is considered that tho lumber, once out, Is of no further benefit or concern to tho railroad, while every settler brought Into Oregon Is a direct boneflt for the railroad compauy, tho mystery of tho present system of freight rates become unexplalnable from, any com- mon-senso standpoint. Marries Henry L. Eisenhart, a Marion County Boy, Now in Mexico Nearly every person In the West, engaged In the newspaper business, will remember Horace Greely Perry. Well, she married Henry L. Eisen hart, a Marlon county boy, who was born and raised at Sllvorton, and Is now engaged In mining in Mexico. Four years ago Horaco made her advent into Portland. She was the society reporter on the Oregon Jour nal, then a little red-eyed rag; then she went to one of tho other papers, and finally did a few Journalistic stunts for Billy Swope on the Sun day Mercury. The narrator of this event remem bers thnt Horace was a good report er, but she was continually asking the city editor to be allowed to don men's apparel and write up the slums. When Miss Horace Greeley Perry set out on an assignment In the wild district to the extreme western end" of the state Mexico, republic of Mex ico, she gave no more thought to the possibility of a romance In which she would figure as a principal, than she did to the dangers of a trip through a wild country over 100 miles from a railroad. She knew that but one other white woman had made the trip, and this woman saw her husband murdered before her eyes, and herself, terribly wounded, Just managed to escape with her life., This did not stop Miss Perry from th easslgnment, but she traveled alone 100 miles, except with an In dian mozo, slept wrapped In a- blan ket and arrived safely at the LaCor- ona, the famous old mines which had been worked by the new bonanza. Henry L. Elsenhnrt and some associ ates had struck a new bonanza. Hen ry L. Eisenhart was the general man ager of the mines, and he gave up his quarters to Miss Perry. It was the same room In which Col. Rem mltt had been murdered by the In dians, nnd In which his wife was mu tilated with machetes. Even yet the walls bear the marks of the strife which had developed Into an Interna tional affair, and which caused Mex ico to pay to England an Indemnity of $G5,000. Mr. Eisenhart showed Miss Perry over the mines, and was very atten tive. Within two months he had come to Mexico City, and within two days after his arrival proposed. Miss Perry urged delay, but he declared that he had to go back to the mines, so it was agreed to have the wedding In El Paso, that the ceremony might be on American soil, and later a church wedding In Mexico City. This was done and Mrs. Eisenhart Is now occupying the room In which tho one white woman who iiroceded her was almost slain. Due to the fact that she was the adopted daughter of Chief Andrew John of the Senaca tribe of the Six It would be a Splendid Idea for you to come right now and make your selection of one of our Two Piece Suits.

The Little Tudor Suits, 1 to 8 yrs. 50c SALEM WOOLEN MILL STORE himself editor of a paper. Miss Per ry has worked on newspapers from New York to San Francisco and has four times edited papers of her own. She was edltqr of Governor Stounen berg's paper in Idaho and helped battle against the anarchists. She met Chief Andrew John when sho was a child of six. The Indian took a liking to her and had her go through the tribal form of adoption. Mrs. Eisenhart has also been a life long protege of Denman Thompson and might almost be said to be the ward of the famous playwright and actor. Alone she made the trip to Guate mala over tho proposed route of tho Pan-American railroad, and her de scriptions of the wild country wero widely printed through a newspaper syndicate. Miss Perry declared that she had but one regret in becoming Mrs. Eisenhart that she could no longer bo a "newspaper man." The groom Is a favorite with the Mexicans, and was the only American orator who delivered a speech to the natives on tho celebration of Juarez day throughout the republic. If the La Corona mines turn out as they ap parently will, Miss Perry, as Mrs. Eisenhart ay, within a few,years, be known as tho "wife of tho new bo nanza king." - ... In the land of Cnto. A New Yorker who spends a good bit of his -time In Italy, tells of an amusing Incident which Illustrates the absurdity of the censorship as practiced In that country. The noted actor, Ermete Novell!, has a son In Florence, to whom n year or two ago, there was born a bouncing boy. The young Novell!, of course, hastened to communicate this Interesting news to his father, who was at this tlmo touring South America, and the telegram read: "Ermento Novell!, Buenos Ayres. Boy. ENRICO." On a Back Yard Farm 111 JAMES J. MONTAGUE. (The Poet and His Common or Gar den Poetry.) The poet, who lives In a palatial Italian villa four doors to the south, and who wears clothes that would be the envy of a bookmaker, says I do not appreciate the esthetic possi bilities of my garden. Ho says that If he had celery and salsify and carrots and strlngbeans and parsley and rutabagas and rad ishes and gourds growing In his back yard ho would turn them Into copy and buy himself Amalgamated Copper with tho proceeds. "Tom Moore," ho observed yester day, "and Shakespeare and Joaquin Miller and Edwin Markham and Clinton Scollard aro perpetually singing about tho flowers which have no real value as food, nnd con sequently do not appeal to tho pub lic when put Into verse. Think what a hit you could make, and how pub lishers would flock to exploit you; If you would write something llko this, for example: "Let others sing of tender leeks Bedlmmed with diamond dew, Or of tho radishes whoso cheeks Are of transcendant hue; Of cantaloupes that dreamily Loungo In their foliago lush, Of turnips grave; but as for mo, Give me tho squash, b'gosh!" I pointed out to tho poet that lush was not a good rhyme for squash, but ho said that was a matter that could bo readily corrected by mak ing tho sixth lino read: Lie' in their foliage. Bosh! The fact that this did not mako sense, he said, woul give the poem what tho editors call "npppeal" and Insuro Its sale.

Injures Vines Thnt Were Poorly Cultivated. Reports from tbo Pratum neigh borhood concerning tho hop crop are to tho effect that hops aro looking well, and that the vines are not Buffering froth tho heat and dryness of tho boII. In tho yards that were pqorly cuftivated Borne signs of dry ness manifest themselves, but not sufficient to causo any alarm among tho growers. It seoms that it is somewhat difficult for the growers of that Bection of tho county to get all tho registered pickers they want, but none are fearing a scarcity of hands to gather the crop. Rain showers, however, at thl stirno would be op no fear- of what the Indians might do. On her first trip to the mines sho told them that she was the daughter of a chief, and that was enough. They followed her pony and decorat ed her bridle reins with flowers. Mrs. Elsenhart's name Indicates that she Inherited her taste for news paper work. Her father was T. M.

Novelll was summoned to tho tele graph office, where tho following con vensatlon took place: Superintendent Wo would not, of course, let your telegram pass. Novelll Not let It pass! Why In the world shouldn't It pass? You made a mention of the fnct that It waB a boy. And so I did. What of that? Isn't It true? That Is what wo do not know as yet. Look here, what aro you driving at? You must be, crazy. At any rate, public order demands that tho news bo not made public. Made public! Am I making It public by telegraphing It to my father? Moreover, what has the birth of my son got to do with tho public order? It "seems to mo that you are all mad. The superintendent gave a gasp of astonishment. "Your son? Why, wo thought you were telegraphing about the queen!" Now York Times which Is of far more real use In tho world and Influence, too, for that matter Hc3 utterly neglected. "Besides, there aro human quali ties which vegetables ppssess that are utterly overlooked by the writers of all times. LIston to this: To n Potntoc's Eyes. "Opalescent ltttlo lamps, Full of honest mirth, Born to twinkle imld tho damps Underneath tho earth; When 'neath tho cold world's heavy heel Your dull life you pursue, Docs It delight you when you feel A dozen eyc3 on you?" "Thnt," said I. "Is no good. In tho first plnco you start out with an odo to a potatoo'B oyos, and you finish with an address to tho potato Itself. Besides that. It's the merest doggerel." " That depends on tho point of- view," said tho poet. , "No, doubt when Kelly wns writing poetry his.-, work was called doggerel by thoi. envious." "Kelly?" I asked. "I mjan Shelley. You aro alto gether too Insistent on' details. How does this strike yeu: ,' "Asparagus! Asparagus! Though llfo with us Is strenuous You cnlmly gcrmlnato and sprout,' Your net unfolded fingers out, ' Unmindful of tho Cannon boom, Unmindful of tho douma's doom, And point up toward tho sky to show Tho way our every thought should go, From sin nnd greed nnd mnllco freo, Content with your philosophy. Ah! What a pneo you set for us, ' Asparagus! Asparagus!" . "If you don't llko that," ho 'con- eluded, "you havo no soul. You de rlvo no benefit from being closo to - tho earth. You nro not much of- a gardener, anyway." There may bo truth In what tho poet said. There waB certainly was rose or tho violet, when tho onion, precious little poetry In It. From Albany Herald.
