L1VK1) IN KOSKHCKO.
Claude Whltsett, the principal
in the following article, is well
known In Hoseburg and Doug-.
Isb county where he resided tor
a long time prior to four years
ago when he left for Grants
Pass. During his residence In
this vicinity be resided with his
parents, who owned a large
farm on Roberts Creek. He
lived at Grants Pass a year,
and later went to Portland. A
brother, John Whitsett, left for
Portland lust night to assume
charge of the remains. Other
'than the brother, the deceased
Is survived by two sisters, one
of whom resides at Myrtite
Creek and another at Leland,
Ore.
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 18. Be
cause, It is said, she refused to give
up her position in a laundry and
again go back to live with him after
having left him a year ago, Claude
Whitsett, aged 30 years, a bartend
er, last night shot and killed" Rosa
Orme, aged 25 years, and then shot
himself In the temple, dying Instant
ly. Miss Orme died within a tew
minutes after the shot was flred, and
without telliug how it happened. The
tragedy took place in a rooming
house at Second and Madison streets,
shortly after 6:30 o'clock.
Entering the room where the
woman was sitting at a desk writing
a letter to a friend, Whitsett leaned
over her and flred downward, the
bullet from a 32-cnlibre revolver
striking the woman over the right
breast and lodging in the heart. Then
Whitsett stepped back and fired at
his own temple. The bullet went
wild, striking In the wall above his
head. Then he pulled the muzzle of
the revolver to the level of his temple
and shot again, the ball lodging In
the temple and killing him at once.
Friend First at Scene
Attracted by the shots, W. P. Mor
rison, an employe of an oil 'com
pany, and a friend of both victims
of the tragedy, ran to the room and
found Miss Orme breathing her last.
She was unable to speak to him.
Morrison said last night that Whit
sett lived with the woman after Miss
Orme had separated from her form
er husband, Harvey C. Galbraith, of
San Francisco, the two passing as
man and wife, for some time and
that afterwards the girl obtained a
position in the Union Laundry on
Second street and refused to live
longer with tha bartender. Two
weeks ago, he said, Whitsett went to
the lodging house and to the girl's
room. With the assistance of the
clerk of the place, Whitsett was
thrown out and came back with a
policeman, to whom he had reported
that Miss Orme was his wife. When
the natrolman found that Whitsett
was not the girl's husband, he escort
ed Whitsett from the place ana
Whitsett did not return again until
last night.

"All manner of conditions are as-
thp chief factors In
contributing to the abnormal cost of
tA it ia nonnlar. In such discus-
J sions. to depict the merchant or
dealer as the chief transgressor. The
trouble Is often due to the lack of
proper economy In the home, an
economy that la In keeping with the
. .i.. inmmP There Is a strong
and almost universal tendency In the
.1- nt nrrwiierltr to live be-
Tond the family means. Frequently
onlr the choicest and highest price
table. Delicacies are demanded
! which greatly swell the food budget,
j "The telephone also must bear its
portion of the blame for the high
cost of living. This modern and in
dispensable instrument for facilitat
ing business and promoting pleasure
affords a ready means for ordering
articles that otherwise would, per
haps, be left unpurchased.
"Living expenses should he kept
within the bounds of propriety at
least to fit the financial station in
life. The one-time common frugal
practice of the housewife in the
home canning of the fruits and vege
tables is in grave danger of becom
ing a lost art.
"It is not the consumer who Is
the greatest sufferer under present
economic conditions." It Is the pro
ducer who Is the most grossly wrong
ed. This is the one great reason
of the unrest and discontent among
farmers and causes many tc leave
the farm and seek business in other
ueiiues. Recently It was estimated
by good authority that the annual
value of dairy products in Oregon,
from the consumers' standpoint, is
$16,780,000, for which the produc
ers received only $9,547,000, or a
difference of 75 per cent for manu
facture and distribution.
"The remedy is a closer co-operation
between the dealer and pro
ducer. The dealer should manifest
a greater Interest in the welfare of
the producer and thus encourage pro
duction. Dealers should take special
interest In finding markets for the
products of the farm and not be
content with simply supplying the
local demand, regardless 'of) what
may become of any surplus the farm
er may happen t6 have. As the
farmer prospers the whole commun
ity prospers.
"Finally It Is presumable that
many homes would .be benefitted If
a more simply mode of life were
followed. It is rather too fashion
able for the family with an Income
of six hundred or one thousand dol
lars to presume to live at the same
standard as the family with an in
come of two or three thousand doK
lars. This, of course, means Inevit
able disaster In the end. A care
ful analysis of the problem will
show conclusively that the increased
cost of living is not due to the initial
cost of food. It will also show that
the farmer is receiving a lower rate
of interest upon his investment than
those engaged in any other industry.
In fact, if the plant food taken from
the soil by many of the crops were
estimated at Its commercial value
these crops would be produced at an
actual loss."

PARIS, Jan. 19. Friendly rela
