Possibilities OfTi-rcd James Flni'li by Modem Law Procedure. Salem Statesman: Will "Jim" Finch. the murderer of R. B. Fisher, hang or die of old age? He Is 38 years old now. If his trial comes up In December, It will consume several days. If convicted and sentenced to hang, the judge will give him 60. days for time of execution. - The supreme court will issue a warrant for his hanging some time during the last 30 days of the time stipulated. Then there will be a motion for appeal, which must be granted. Thirty days are given In which to send a transcript . to the supremo court. , After the transcript is filed 20 days are allowed to file an abstract. After this 10 days are allowed to file a brief. Following this 10 days are allowed to file an answer. Finch Is then given 10 days more to file an answer. Then the state puts the case on the supreme court docket. Cases in the supreme court are now set tor six months ahead and by the time the case of Finch gets on the docket there Is no telling how much further ahead they may be set. So the question arises will Finch hang or die of old age? ANOTHER RURAL ROUTE. A rural free delivery mail route has been established between Oak land and Yoncalla .leaving the for mer place every morning except Sun days. Establishment of tills route Ib the culmination of many months of effort on the part of the citizens of that district.

NO TARIFF REVISION. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 3. The Ways and Means committee of the House, which has been holdlne dally sessions for some t'me. wll complete its t'lriff revision hearing tomorrow, and will Immediately be glu work on Ita report. It Is not ex pected that definite action will be taken to change the tariff law dur ing tho :e;:Blon of Congress open lug next week, but that this will be left for a special session to bo called by Mr. Taft immediately after his inauguration next March. Among those responsible for the assertion that tho coming congress will not take up the subject of tariff revision Is Senator Hale, who speak as one having authority. Nor dws ho believe that tho congressional monetary commission, of which he is member, will soon be ready to ad vise- any radical changes In the na tions financial syBtem. Speaking of Immediate tariff re vlsfo-n, Senator Hale gaid: "Owe In while you will hear such a sugges tion, but It Is clearly out of th iuo8tlon and It will not be under taken. And, It Is safe to say that there will not be any radical changes when the much talked of revision Is made. "Recent events have made, It cer tain that there will be no slaughter ing of Interests. It Is clear that th country does not expect or court any such a course, and congress will no enter upon It. FAKIRS IV HOLY LAND. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 3. That even the Holy Land Is not with out its fakirs and get-rich-quick schemers Is shown by a fraud order Just Issued by the post master-general denying the use of the United State mails to H. Llnsenmirg and severe other parties In Jerusalem, Pales tine. The postal officials say that fro time to time there are being mailed out of Jerusalem to persons In thi country circulars begging for money. These circulars are accompanied ge erallv bv some small and worthle article. In frequent Instances It I a so-called album of flowers picked from the Holy Lands. his the Idressee Is requested to keep for h ! gratuity. These circulars are sent j out, the consul at Jerusalem said, by j a band of swindlers who are making la regular buslfi'fS f It and have I considerable capital Invested In It. I When Secretary Hay died, the consul said, Mrs. Hay received one or these circulars and accompanying album. The Review does job printing. Patronlie Review advertlsera. IS THERE HONOR IN OREGON? (From the Oklahoman.) I Is there honor among men In Ore- gon? We shall see what we shall see. In the Oregon primary election of last June, held under a law similar to the one in this state which re- uires all asplrantB for public posi tion to go before the people with their candidacies. Governor Cham berlain, a democrat, was the choice of majority of the people for United States Senator. At the same time, the candidates of both parties for the legislature were selected, pledg ing themselves to be bound by the ill of the people, as expressed at the polls, In naming the senator. n the recent general election, the republicans elected a majority of the members of the Oregon legislature. A legal way is open, therefore, by hich that party could, if It can In- uce a majority of the newly-elected legislators to violate their oath and Ignore the will of the people, name a republican for the United Stntes sen- torshlp in place of Governor Cham berlain, the democrat. - And the amazing thing In this con nection Is that a well-organized movement Is on, Inspired and di rected by the republican machine or the etate, to prevail upon the legis lators to violate their oath, ignore their Instructions and name a re publican for the place Instead of Governor Chamberlain. Our United States senators, you now, are chosen by the legislature. The people, a majority of whom ex pressed a preference in the primar ies for Governor Chamberlain over the republican aspirant, have noth ing to say In the matter except as an advisory capacity. And so there is nothing to prevent the consummation of this disreputable and thoroughly disingenuous scheme to thwart the popular will except tho pledge of the leglAlor8 their honor as men. uui it is inconceivauio mat man hood Is at such low ebb In Oregon that a trick of this character can be scucessfully practiced upon tho peo We shnll refuse to believe, until we see it with our own eyes, that republican members-elect of the forthcoming Oregon legislature are craven, contemptible curs, lost to all sense of honor and uprightness. We Rlml i count them men until they prove themselves otherwise. In the meantime the inauguration of the movement, to elect a republican in the place of Governor Chnmberlaln places honor among men on trial .in Oregon, About Digestion.

Tho Bureau of tho Census has JiibI Issued a report giving tho results of the second census of tho express butil- ess. Tho statistics pi-osented cover o fiscal year ending June 30. 1907. (oxropt in tho case of a few reports men cover the calendar year), and elate to those express companies, lilch forward freight and valuables over somo steam, electric, water, or stage line, and which do business In more thnn one town. In 1907 there were 34 express companies as compared with 18 In 0. Only 10 of the companies re porting In 1890 were In exlstunce un der the nine name In 1907; the re maining S companies have gone out business, have been absorbed by ther companies, or are operating nder other names. The total express mileage has In creased from 174,059 miles to 235,- u;i miles, a gain of 35.5 per cent Both the mileage operated over rail- oaus and that operated over wa ter lines show large gains, tho former aving increased from 180,122 to 16.973, or 35.5 per cent, and th hitter from 10,882 to 17,796, or 63.6 t cent. Ninety-one ier cent of tho total mileage In 1907 is operated over stenm railroads, 7.5 over steamboat nee, nine-tenths of 1 per cent over lectric ronds, and five-tenths of 1 per cent over stage lines. Fourteen companies report the use of electric ronds for express transportation; and of these, 5, operating 205.30 miles, so such roads exclusively. The M'atllug Companies. In 1907 ns In 1890 the express business was dominated by the fol lowing 6 companies; Adams, Ameri can, Pacific, Hon I hern, United States nd Wells, Fargo & Co. Tho last mentioned loads in tho amount of mileage opornted, with tho Ameri can Express Co. a close second. These leading express compnnicB oper- ted 92.7 per cent of the totnl mlle- ge In 1 890, and 87.6 per cent In 907. Tho decrease in tho percent- go Is accounted for by the Incrense the number, and consequently In he mileage, of smntl companies and departments of rnllroads, and hy the nciuslon at the present census of mileage opornted In Alaska and Porto lllco, territories which have been op ened to tho oxpress business since 890. The Issuing of financial paper wnB a comparatively new extension of the express business In 1890. At that time thero were 6 companies issu ng money orders as compared with :i In 1907. The number of money orders Issued has Increased from 4.- 598.567 to 14.014,960, a gain of 204.8 per cent. In addition to tho money orders issued In 1907, which had a total value or 1147, 340. (150, express com panies Issued 792.737 travelers' cheques nnd letterB of credit, of vnlne of $20,828,932. The total value or nnnnclnl paper issued by ex- proBS companies, $168,176,688, Is 29.8 percent of the vnlue of domestic and iiitcrnnt!onnl money orders Issu d hy the United Htntes postolllce de partment. The vnlue of all kinds of financial pnirer reported by the Am erican Hxpross Company was $81,- 018.041, or nearly hnir or tho total for all companies.' On the basis of a nominal par vnlue of $101) for the shnres of Interest, the combined cap italization Is $l8,853,200. The total rocoipts of all tho ex press companies amount to $128,- 17,176, of which 97 ier cent is re ceipts from operation nnd 3 per cent receipts trom other sources. Over 90 per cent of the total recelptB represent the receipts of tlte 6 lead ing companies. i The two Important Items of ex- lense in the express huBltieMs are the amounts pnld to steam rondB and the saluries and wages, which In 1907 were $56,378,349 nnd $39. 631.754, respectively, and together constitut ed, as In 1890, over 80 per cent of the reported operating exirenses. That the relationship of the ex press companies with each other and the raiJways is close Is Indicated by the fnct that on Juno 30, 1906, rail way companies held $20,008,000 of express company stock, and exprOHS OFFICERS.

Tho contract between a railway and an express company usually pro vides that tho express company shall not make a rate lower than 160 per cent of the freight rate on the sarue artlclo. Of course, the railway, re ceiving an agreed percentage of the total earnings of express companies, profits by high express rates, which, moreover, Insure the railway freight business freedom from a possible competitor. How Rntes are Fixed. To determine the charge on a ship ment of merchandise a graduated scale Is employed, wh.leh applies to matter weighing less than 100 pounds when the rate Ib under $2 per 100 pounds and to matter weigh ing less than 50 pounds when the rate Is $2 or more per 100 pounds. When the value of any merchandise ship ment exceeds $50 an additional charge Is made on the declared value. Next Jin imiiortance to the graduated scale is what are known as "general sieclal rates," which cover shipments of perishable matter, Buch as but ter, eggs, llsh, meat, vegetables, etc., and are lower than the rates on mer chandise per 100 pounds. The price In a given case is found by multiply ing the weight by the rate, with a -designated minimum charge, usually 35 cents per 100 pounds. The charges on currency are made by menus of graduated tables In the same manner as the charges on. freight shipments. VIVrO-DATU llUKflLiARS. Secure $1-1,000 and Then Escape In un Automobile.
