HITCHCOCK REWARDED.
Taft Appoints Him Postmast'r-(tVii-eru
I - Career Qualities Him.
HOT SPRINGS. Va., Nov. 27.
Frank H. Hitchcock has been ofTored
and has accepted the position of postmaster-general
In the Taft cabinet,
that is to be.
There were reasons, it is pointed
out. why it was expedient that Mr.
Hitchcock's status should be fixed. As
chairman of the republican national
committee he became more familiar
than any other person with the poli
tical phases of questions likely to
arise at the beginning of the Taft ad
ministration and the knowledge he
gained regarding the personnel of the
party will be of great service to Mr.
Taft. Besides these reasons, the na
tional chairman possesses a compre
hensive as well as technical knowl
edge of postal affairs gained by a pro
tracted experience as First Assistant
and Acting Postmaster-General.
Frank Harris HI ten cock was born
at Amherst, O., October 5, 1867. He
received his early education in Bos
ton and is a graduate of Harvard,
class of 1891. He was also graduated
from the Columbia University Law
school In 1894, and was admitted to
the bar of the District of Columbia
the same year. Hitchcock has been
many years in the government ser
vice, and received his first appoint
ment the year he graduated from
Harvard. He was chief of the divi
sion of foreign markets United States
Department of Agriculture; chief
clerk of the Department of Commerce
and Labor; a member of the govern
ment exposition board; assistant sec
retary of the republican national
committee; secretary of the Inaugur
al committee when McKinley was In
augurated. He was appointed first
assistant postmaster-general.
Hitchcock sprang into prominence
during the recent presidential cam
paign. He was selected by Taft in
engineer the nomination In the Chi
cago convention, and succeeded In
crushing out all opposition by his
famous "steam-roller" methods. Af
ter the nomination of Taft, Hitchcock
was selected as chairman of the na
tional committee to conduct the
(residential campaign.

SIXTY-TWO NEW MEMBERS. I
Elected by RoM-burg Commercial

bers, four more names being addt'd to
the list heretofore published in The
Review. This brings the total. mem
bership up to 155 at this date, show
ing the live Interest in the general
booster movement now prevailing all
over Western Oregon.
A committee on furnishing the new

consisting of B. W. Strong, N. Rice,
B. L. Eddy. The new quarters will

OlME READ ARRIVES,
PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 27. Opie
Read, the author, with his favorite
pipe,-his wealth of gray-streaked hair
which seldom if ever looks well
brushed, and his dry, quaint Bense of
humor which cannot be excelled, but
without the rheumatism that he had
when here in February last, arrived
nt the Hotel Portland this morplng
on his way to Corvnllis, where he Is
booked to deliver a lecture to the
Oregon Agricultural College students,
says the Journal.
Mr. Read's lectures consist of
studies on human nature and little
anecdotes on life.
"Then you don't talk on any of
the deep subjects questions that are
agitating the minds of the people of
today?" Mr. Rend was asked.
"Oh, yes, I do," he replied. "Hu
man nature and nature itself are the
two deepest Hi i tigs in the world. Man
Is a great deal better and has accom
plished more than most people give
him credit for.
"Man has improved wonderfully
during the last few years. There is
no question about that. He Is larger
and he lives longer, Life Insurance
company statistics show this to be
true without a doubt. That the race
Is a wonderful Improvement over
generations of the past Is shown by
the inventions that have been evolved
by the brain of man."
The author Is not fond of travel
ling. He says he would rather re
main In one place. Then he would
be contented.
The election didn't suit Mr. Read
very well. Ho thought, and hoped, it
would go the other way.
The author believes lhat the lum
bermen of the United States have
been Invading the timber districts In
Canada, purchasing large tracts there
and that they are now behind the
movement to have the tariff reduced
on the lumber shipped into the Unit
ed States from the northern country.
While a reduction of tariff rates
would work a hnrdship on some of
the smaller dealers, Mr. Read be
lieves at the same time thnt such a
change would do a great deal toward
preserving the forests of this coun
try for years to come.
Mr. Read Is a great admirer of
this great west. He says If he were a
younger man he would come out and
"grow up with the country." He
likes Portland. Whenever he gets
out this way he always drops in just
to spend n day or two and to admire
the people and the scenery. New
Yorkers, he says, are too much on
New York. They don't believe there
Is any other part of the United States.
Says he met a mnn not long ago who
had lived In New York since boy
hood, succeeded and had travelled ex
tensively abroad. But he was taking
his first trip on a Pullman.
Mr. Read thinks -San Francisco is
destined to be a great city. Asked
what he thought about the earth
quake when here early In the year,
the author said that the quake had
shaken nil the romance out of the old
city. Now he says the city Is a
"marble palace on the edge of an ash
henp."
Mr. Read has written more than 30
books and Is now at work on another.
The name of this book has not been
decided upon as yet but will be pub
lished some time next year.
( (Mr. Read will deliver his famous
lecture at the Baptist church In Rose
burg on Monday evening, Nov. .to.
under the auspices of the Commercial
Club.)

the statement given out ttliiB after
noon by the mine olllcials. Two hours
before the explosion, an Inspector
pronounced the mine In excellent con

So terrlflc was the explosion that
a cage was blown 300 feet into the
air. The timbers in Hie workings of
the mine took lire almost immediate
ly afterwards, rendering it Impossible
to send another cage down the shaft.
The only way of renchlng tho en

shafts or from an adjoining mine, but
the names forced abandonment of ef
forts In this direction shortly after
they begun. Many of the doomed men
have futilities, and women and chil

the shaft wailing hysterically.

not draw thu milk from the cow In a

should feed liny before milking. He
should not feed drain nor disturb the
bedding before milking.
1 may get into nu argument in re
gard to tills statement, for there are
those who claim that tho stnhlo should
bo cleaned before the milking Is done.
I mulntnlu not, for you know tho nioro
you disturb some things tho worse
they smell. The dnlr.vmnn must not
feed sllnge before he milks, for If con

I'lifortunntp Wonmii From Itowhurg
Was Victim of Heart Trouble.
MARSHFIELD. Or., Nov. 27. The
bay Is being dragged In an effort to
recover the body of Ruby Urnten,
who was drowned Wednesday night.
The girl's father, whose name Is
Ilelmken, who lives at Woodburn,
Or., arrived here today. '
There appenrs to be little doubt
but that she fell overboard under an
r.ltack of heart trouble, and did not
commit suicide.
The father Is almost prostrated.
This morning when he received a
mistaken report that the body had
been found, he broke down and cried.
He has employed extra men to help
drag the bay. He says he will stay
until the body is found and will take
the remains home for burial.
That Mrs. Ilrnten's csbb Is one of
heart trouble and not deliberate buI
cido Is the opinion of persons who
were ramillar with her habits
while Blie was an inmate at the
"High-Board Fence" in this city.
Frequently, while under the Influence
of liquor, Bhe had been known to
faint from henrt weakness, and the
belief prevails that she was attacked
with one of these spells during her
boat rldo on Coos Uny and fell over
board to her death.
The Marsh Held Times gives the
following additional dotallB of the
affair:
Mrs. Urnten was taking a ride with
a companion, Irene Davis. - Whether
It was an accident or Butclde, an In
quest to be held, probably today, by
Coroner T. J. Lewis, will determine.
Owing to the high tide and the
darkness, the body could not be re
covered last night. This morning
Coroner Lewis and others arranged
to drag the bay near where she went
down. It Is not unlikely that the
body will not be recovered until It
rises to the surfnee In the lapse of
time.
Alec Egnnoff, who was running the
boat Marshlleld made a strenuous at
tempt lo snvo the girl and almost suc
ceeded. Ho saw her go overboard
and quickly turning tho launch about
ho ran to the rail and reached out
to her. She appeared to be trying
to swim and keep herself afloat. He
succeeded in reaching her sleeve and
got hold of It but the boat was still
In motion and the cloth gave way.
Just as It did so, she went down for
tho third time and no chance to
throw hor a line or anything else
was afforded.
, Says She JiimH1.
Egnnoff last evening declared that
she jumped ovorboard. He said that
she and Miss Davis had been In the
enhin and suddenly she came up to
tho rail. "She looked up and sort of
smiled and then lenped overboard,
striking the water feet foremost,"
said Eganoff.
If it was Intentional, It was not
long premedltnted ns was shown by
the shopping she did In the after
noon. She had not been well and
late In the afternoon she and Miss
Duvis went into H. S. Tower's and
were looking at some jewelry., Mr
Tower noticed that the girl appeared
III nnd suggested that he get some
thing for lier. A moment Inter, she
swooned and It wns somotlme before
sho enmo to. Then she and Miss
Dnvls chartered the Marshfleld for a
little ride and stnrted toward the C.
A. Smith mill when the event occur
red. Mrs. Hrntcn came here In August
from Roseburg and entered Mny Ath
erton's resort on North Front street,
where Bh6 has since been.
