WHAT THOSE PKTITION8 M KAN,
Portland Journal: Petitions are
In circulation asking Statement No.
1 members of the legislature not tr
vote for Chamberlain for senator.
Hefo re Blgning these petitions vot
erg should consider what such an ad
means. It means that they ask coi
tal n public olllcorfl to do the verj
opposite of what they solemnly prom
Ised to do; It means that they au)
theso men to forswear themselves, t
betray tho people who on their prom
Ise elected them.
VoterB should remember befon
signing this petition that they ar
asking these men to do a dishonor
ablo thing, one that would stonr
them with lifelong shnine and dh
graco. Think of it, you voters; at th
behest of a few disgruntled nnd ell?
credited politicians are you willing t.
nsk so far honorable men, you
friends and neighbors, to do this. t
make thiB horrible sacrlflco for tin
sako of a party or a few politicians'
To ask a Statement No. 1 membt"
of the legislature thus to diHhono
and disgrace himself is an Insult
And to ask nny decent, honet vote
to sign such a petition Is no less ai
insult, and ought to be resented n
such. It Is sought to bring dlshono
and dlsgraco upon these men, and a:
an Ptciiso for them It Is sought tc
Involve a largo number of voters li
a share of that dishonor, to stall
them with a portion or that dip
graco, to make them pnrtlceps crini
Inls In tho propopsed treason to tlx
people nnd barter of men's sacred
word of honor.
Voters, think this over before sign
Ing one of theso dishonorable, din
gracoful petitions, and then don'1
stgn. Who Is elected senator Is not
of Itself of much Importance, as com'
pared with the crime against the peo
pie of Oregon which It 1b proposed U
commit through the aid of yum
names. To solicit a signature to thlr
petition Is to offer an Insult to au
honest, conscientious voter.

NKW YOltK, Nov. 19. Northern
Puolfio stock ho I dors of record at th
cIobo of business today will share lit
one of tho juclest melons ever ou:
by an Amet lean railroad companv
This Is a dividend of $11.26 a share
to bo paid to them by the Northwest
ern Improvement Company, a sulmt
diary concern through which the 11111
roads carries on operations In conl
mines, Irrigation works and invest
merits In bonds. The aggregate
amount of the distribution will In
$17.4f3.00. The Northwestern Im
provement Companv's capital stock It
only $;i,77f.,000. m that the dividend
Is equivalent to (129 per cent on tin
capital of the corporation. It Is
stated that this dividend is paid from
a surplus acquired through a series of
yeurs, and that uone of it was derived
from tho transportation business.
In explanation of the accumulation
of thin largo surplus by a company
which la a creature of the Northern
Pacific Hallway, though legally a sep
arate corporation, It was said hy n
director of the Northern Pacific that
the Improvement company, which wr
Incorporated In t S! 7 soon after the
re-organisation of the Northern Pa
rifle, has carried on land and othet
operations on a large scale, and hat)
profited by the enormous increase in
values In the Northwest in (he las!
ten years. The company owns largn
coal mines In Montana and Washing
ton, operated along the line of the
Northern Pacific. It Is also Interest
ed In Irrigation and other land Invest
ments. A number of years ago it
took over the Innds of the St. Paul
and Iuluth Hailroad. nnd It bus nt
intervals purchased from the North
em Pacific Itself largo traits of the
road's land grant lands.
The Northwestern Improvement
Company Is officered by official
the Northern Pacific Hallway, but the
hoards of the two companies are not
Identical, not all of the railway di
rectors being members of the Im
provement comjiany board. Howard
Klliott and James J. Hill, respectively
Northern Pacific Hallway, hold sim
ilar positions lu the improvement
company.
HKK THK WATCH
FHOZKX IX THE ICK
Many View Strange Test of Timekeep
ing Tills Week.. Frozen Solid
Itut Still Keeps Per
fect Time,
What Is probably the most untrue
and altogether remarkable exhibition
of timekeeping quality In a watch, is
taking place this week at the store
of A. 8. Huey, jeweler and waicnmaK
or. This 1b nothing more nor less
than a stundard South fiend Watch
taken out of stock and frozen in a
solid cake of Ice.
As though It were an animate
thing, It seems almost a cruelty to
subject so delicate a pleco of mechan
ism as a modern watch to this se
vere tost, but the watch does not
seem to mind It as much as the sym
pathetic lookers'on. This test Is
simply a forcible and convincing dem
onstration or the fact that the move
mentB of the South Pend Watch are
adjusted to heat and cold In the most
perfect manner ever achieved In the
science of watchmaking. While the
tost Is not entirely new, having pre
viously been made at South Hond nnd
other places, we believe. It is seen for
the first time In iloseDurg.
This test Is stated to be the most
severe that a delicate timepiece can
be subjected to nnd It speaks volumes
for American enterprise and the skill
of American watch makers that it has
been posslblo to produce a watch so
perfect In construction and adjust
ment that not even freezing It up can
affect its timekeeping.
Indeed, bo remarknblo Is tho test
that foreign watch makers who have
so long boasted of their supremacy
cannot oven now realize that It can
bo done.
Tho fame of "tho watch In the Ice"
has spread nil over the world and It
can be seen Thursday nnd Friday al
tho establishment of Huey's. The
superior timekeeping quarlties of the
South Bond Watch He In its wonder
ful balance wheel which automatical
ly adjusts It to heat and cold, nnd Its
perfect adjustment nnd construction.
The "watch in Ice" will be on ex
hlbltlon Thursday and Friday.

PADUCAH, Ky., Nov, 19. Today
!s the lf.fith anniversary of the birth
Tf ono of America's most heroic men,
Cieneral (leorge Rogers (Murk, who
unfurled tho first American ling in
Illinois and was largely respouslbh
for making the great Northwest un
merlcan territory. Dying In poverty
.ml want, tho great Boldler was for
(otten for nearly a century. A few
vears ago a movement was Inaugurnt
?d to rescue from obscurity the name
and famo of the almost forgotten
hero, and this patriotic project had
its culmination this month in the ded
ication of a handsome monument at
Fort Massac, near Metropolis, 111.
All of tho fertllo region northwest
of the Ohio river was wrested from
'he British by the valor of this sold
ier, yet he died In poverty. The State
f Virginia sent him a sword nTter he
became old and poor, which ho broke
to pieces, exclaiming:
"When Virginia needed a sword I
gavo her one. She sends mo now a
toy. I want bread."

PENDLETON, Or.. Nov. 18. A.
C. lluby of Portland, M. C. Metz of
Pondteton, and more than a dozen
other prominent horse and jack
breeders and Importers of OreRon and
Idaho, are alleged to have been vic
timized by a scheme by which they
paid $20,000 cash for .the privilege
of selling $100,000 worth of stallions
and jacks to four shrewd stockmen
of the Camas Prairie in Idaho, who
are averred to have given them in
return worthless notes to that
amount, according to charges made in
a complaint filed here, upon which
an attachment was Issued yesterday
and the first car of the stork seized
hero Inst night as it was being ship
ped to Boise to be sold to sntisfy
the claim of one of the alleged vic
tims. How It Was Worked.
Tho method used was shrewd. Ma
jor Ferris, J. M. and George Lamb
and O. H. Sheldon secured letters of
credit from Idaho bankers. Furnish
ing W. R. Clemens with a supply of
notes signed by them in blank, they
sent him as agent to buy stock. In
each case he arranged with the stock
men to pay them more than the
standnrd price of the animal, In re
turn for which the agent was to re
ceive a commission to the amount of
the excess in cash. The transfer was
made, the notes were accepted with
out question In every instance, and
the agent paid the commission,
amounting In all to (20.000.
